Perfect Superstar

At night, Central.

A black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked steadily in front of the Shangri-La Hotel, and the doorman in a neat uniform stepped forward immediately, bowed and opened the door.

Lu Chen got out of the car and stood firmly on the red carpet.

The next moment, several flashes were turned on, and many paparazzi were hiding not far away to secretly photograph him.

Lu Chen wasn't surprised. He came here tonight to participate in Shu Jing's new album launch. With the latter's connections, he must have invited many friends from the industry to join him. It's normal for the paparazzi to be moved by the news.

It's just that these paparazzi who are not qualified to enter are basically tabloid reporters, and they are considered the bottom of the circle.

After handing a tip to the doorman, Lu Chen walked into the lobby of the hotel alone.

Shu Jing's press conference was held in the large conference hall on the third floor of the hotel. When Lu Chen arrived, there were already a cloud of guests, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Interestingly, this magnificent conference hall has been rearranged and decorated. The background is full of blue sky, white clouds, sandy beaches, coconut trees, boats... It makes people feel as if they have suddenly come to an island full of tropical style.

Beautiful hotel waiters wore Hawaiian skirts, shuttled through the crowd with champagne and snacks. On the long T-shaped stage, a band was playing cheerful music, and laughter was everywhere.

Shu Jing, who was wearing a long red dress, was waiting for the guests at the door. When she saw Lu Chen appear, the former Hongkong singing queen suddenly showed a charming smile.

Lu Chen, why did you come here?

Lu Chen said embarrassedly: There is a traffic jam on the road.

He took out the gift he had prepared and presented it: Sister Jing, I wish your album a big hit!

Shu Jing smiled and said, Thank you, I believe this album will be a success, because you wrote the theme song!

Lu Chen smiled without saying a word.

Because of Chen Fei'er's connection, at Shu Jing's request, Lu Chen wrote two songs for her, one of which is the title song of her new album.

Are you alone at night?

Shu Jing handed the gift to the assistant, and asked for two glasses of champagne from the waiter.

Handed a cup to Lu Chen.

She asked curiously, Why don't you even bring an assistant?

Lu Chen said: Ah Zhen's family has something to do, so I didn't let her come, so I'm alone.

Shu Jing pursed her lips and said with a smile: It's so pitiful, you are such a nice boss, do you want me to introduce you to a temporary female companion? I have a few girlfriends who admire you very much.

Generally speaking, male guests attending such occasions will bring a female companion or assistant, and being alone will inevitably give people a feeling of being down or out of group.

Lu Chen didn't really care, he surrendered and said, Sister Jing, please spare my brother.

Shu Jing chuckled: Okay, I won't play with you anymore, then you can do whatever you want, and I won't greet you.

Lu Chen cupped his fists: Sister Jing has a lot.

Shu Jing likes Lu Chen more and more. He is young, handsome and talented. What is rare is that he is arrogant but not arrogant.

She didn't have any special thoughts about Lu Chen, but felt that Chen Fei'er was really lucky to find such a boyfriend, and of course Lu Chen was also very lucky.

It's just that the lucky Lu Chen encountered trouble after entering the press conference.

He was holding champagne and was about to find a seat to sit down when he was suddenly blocked by someone and almost bumped into each other.

Lu Chen didn't know who the other party was, so he quickly apologized out of politeness: I'm sorry...

You are Lu Chen?

However, the other party's response was not so polite, and he questioned with a hint of hostility in his arrogance.

Um?

Lu Chen couldn't help staring.

The person blocking his way was about 30 years old, not very tall, he was wearing a navy blue suit, his facial features were sharp and handsome, his expression was awe-inspiring and his eyes were sharp, staring at Lu Chen as if he was staring at Lu Chen like a falcon. prey.

Excuse me?

For this, Lu Chen is very unfamiliar, and there is no such thing as the existence of the other party in his impression.

The cold and proud man scratched his face, as if he didn't bother to answer this question, or mocked Lu Chen's ignorance.

The female companion who was still by his side said coquettishly, This is President Cui from Arima Films.

Arima Films?

Lu Chen suddenly remembered that the other party was actually Cui Xingxian, the head of Huaguan Pictures!

Arima Films is one of the top ten domestic film companies in terms of strength and scale. It is also a subsidiary of Arima Entertainment Group. Cui Xingxian, who serves as the general manager, belongs to the young and strong school of the mainland film and television industry and is very famous in the circle.

In the past two years, Arima Films has been attacking everywhere in the country, recruiting many well-known actors and directors to join in, casting and filming a number of film and television dramas, and the limelight has always been very strong.

Now this ambitious film company has extended its tentacles to Xiangjiang, and joined hands with local entertainment companies in Xiangjiang to shoot the large-scale ghost film Painted Skin, intending to expand its business territory with the help of Xiangjiang film support policies.

Cui Xingxian even sat in Xiangjiang personally to supervise the production of this co-production blockbuster.

And Painted Skin is just the biggest competitor of A Chinese Ghost Story. Cui Xingxian regards Lu Chen as a threat and uses the Jiang family members to create trouble for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen knew about Cui Xingxian's existence a long time ago, but he didn't expect to run into him here tonight.

Of course he was not afraid, and said with a smile: It turns out that it is President Cui of Huaguan Films. I have admired his name for a long time, and now I finally meet a real person. It is a great honor to meet you.

He said he had admired his name for a long time, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

What are you mocking? Of course, it is to ridicule this person who hides his head and shows his tail behind the scenes to plot, he is a complete villain!

Cui Xingxian undoubtedly understood, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

He said with a half-hearted smile: Very good, as expected of the man Chen Fei'er likes, he is really extraordinary. I hope your A Chinese Ghost Story will be a big hit and make a big splash in Xiangjiang!

Lu Chen smiled and said, I'll accept Mr. Cui's auspicious words, and I also wish Painted Skin a big hit.

Speaking insincerely polite words, the eyes of the two collided, as if two invisible sharp knives collided in the air, flashing a little edge.

Cui Xingxian snorted coldly, turned around and left with his female companion, as if he had no interest in continuing to bicker with Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled faintly.

Ever since he went to Hong Kong to set up a studio to prepare for the filming of A Chinese Ghost Story, he and Cui Xingxian have become rivals. Although Lu Chen won a complete victory in the previous bout, Cui Xingxian didn't get hurt.

So the real contest between the two is yet to come, when A Chinese Ghost Story and Painted Skin are released!

That's when the winner will be decided!
