“Two cups of hot water will be fine.” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t leave right away.

  Especially with Lu Huanong and Ruo Feiqun around, she didn’t know if they had left or not and didn’t want to meet them outside.

  As expected, Lu Jin poured a cup of warm water for her and Song Qian.

  Taking a sip of the water, Yun Xiangxiang said, “I haven’t congratulated Brother Jin yet.”


  “Congratulated me?” Lu Jin didn’t react.

  “The winner of this year’s spring festival film must be ‘Heart of Craftsmanship.’” Yun Xiangxiang also paid attention to the film during the spring festival.

  There was also the news that filled the sky. It was hard not to pay attention to it. The excellent production of ‘Heart of Craftsmanship’ and its explosive reputation had reversed under the premise that the pre-sale was far lower than the other two films. As of noon today, it had overtaken the first place, and it had become the current box office champion.

  The only regret was that it did not become the first day box office champion. “Heart of Craftsmanship” was a film that focused on sculpture.

  It combined the traditional Chinese art of sculpture with the soul-stirring jade and jadeite. There was no lack of interrogation of human nature and examination of values. Yun Xiangxiang had yet to see the specific content, but Lu Jin was the lead actor.

  In the whole of last year, Lu Jin had made this film. It was said that the script for this film had been prepared for a full five years. The screenwriter had traveled all over China, collecting materials everywhere and combining the best content.

  It was not a boring literary film. There was a plot that could make people laugh until they cried.

  Yun Xiangxiang had also read some film reviews, but Song Meng and Li Xiangling had gone to watch the film. When they came back, they were very excited and gave Yun Xiangxiang a thought.

  “I tried my best.” Lu Jin was not very modest. At this time, being modest would seem hypocritical, but being ostentatious was not his personality.

  “When I come back, I will definitely find time to watch it.” Yun Xiangxiang liked to watch classic films.

  “I also wish you a fruitful return to the land of wine and flowers in advance,” Lu Jin said, “Jiu Se is also a good film.”


  “Brother Jin went to see Jiu Se?” Yun Xiangxiang was a little surprised. “Brother Jin, why don’t you give me some pointers?”


  “Jiu Se is very good. If there are any shortcomings, those professional film critics will point them out,” Lu Jin said with a smile.

  “Brother Jin, this isn’t fun anymore. I’m sincerely seeking advice.” Yun Xiangxiang felt that Lu Jin’s official answer was a little perfunctory.

  Lu Jin chuckled softly. After drinking a mouthful of water, he said, “If it’s really not enough, then as a male audience, I feel that it’s too yin-sheng and yang-waning. The male scenes are too weak, and the three men are all villains. This will stir up the disgust of some male audiences. Fortunately, there’s Fu Xuewen. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for this film to achieve such results. If there’s a more upright male role, then this film will be impeccable.”


  Fu Xuewen was the character played by Yi Yan.

  “Brother Jin, you’re right. Actually, when I first started reading the script, I didn’t find anything wrong with it at all. However, halfway through the film, I felt that something was wrong. Even though it’s a big female lead film, when the female lead suddenly appears, you can’t step on the male compatriots.” Yun Xiangxiang felt that Lu Jin really hit the nail on the head.

  In fact, after the film was broadcast, someone also mentioned this point, but it didn’t cause too much of a stir.

  “Director Du’s film is characterized by a clear distinction between love and hate. The reason why his film has been going downhill is firstly because it’s too obscure, and secondly because of its aggressive momentum. If he wants to praise someone, he will not hesitate to use his pen and ink. At the same time, he will step into the mud.”


  Lu Jin could only say these words to Yun Xiangxiang in private, “But Director Du also has a specialty, that is, he is very precise in handling the details. No more, no less. Flaws do not cover up the good. No one is perfect.”


  “I used to think that I was very good at picking scripts, but now I realize that compared to Brother Jin, I am really not good enough.” No wonder all of Lu Jin’s films were popular now.

  “I’m just experienced. You’ll be able to understand it after you make a few more films.” Lu Jin was a child star who had debuted at the age of three. “Actually, He Wei is also very good at choosing scripts. Just look at Xue Yu.”


  Lu Jin and He Wei were also secretly buddies. Of course, they understood each other. Although Xue Yu’s status in the film industry was not as high as his, it was mainly because Xue Yu’s heart was not in the film. Also, Huan Yu Century Entertainment was a complicated company. There were always people who dragged her down.

  Lu Jin did not know that “Jiu Se” was not selected by He Wei. When he said that, Yun Xiangxiang felt a little embarrassed.

  However, “Jiu Se” had given her a satisfactory answer, so Yun Xiangxiang’s expression quickly became natural. She guessed that Ruo Feiqun and his wife would have already left. She looked at the time and said, “I’ll take Little Fairy home. We have a plane to catch later.”


  “Since you’re going to the land of wine and flowers for more than a week, why are you in such a hurry to take it away?” Lu Jin was puzzled.

  “Someone came back from the house. Someone is taking care of it. Most importantly, my brother can’t live without it. He’ll be back in two days.” Yun Xiangxiang told the truth. Of course, she didn’t want to trouble Lu Jin too much, so there was no need to say this out loud.

  Lu Jin didn’t say anything else. He brought Yun Xiangxiang into the house. When they arrived at the room specially made for cats, they saw Little Fairy, Black Panther, and White Pigeon lying in the sunlight. The three of them were fast asleep.

  No wonder she didn’t hear any screams. When they came, they moved their ears but didn’t open their eyes.

  “Brother Jin, help me carry Little Fairy out,” Yun Xiangxiang whispered.

  Yun Xiangxiang wanted to take off her shoes, but she did not go in. Lu Jin strode over and carried Little Fairy up. Little Fairy did not even make a sound and just nestled in Lu Jin’s arms.

  If it was someone else, they would have opened their eyes and put a paw at the corner of their eyes. It was as if they could not stand the strong light. Little Fairy just half-opened her eyes, glanced at Yun Xiangxiang, and closed her eyes again.

  What a lazy cat.

  Yun Xiangxiang successfully carried Little Fairy and left. Lu Jin quickly tidied up Little Fairy’s things and handed them to Song Qian.

  When they reached the door, Yun Xiangxiang could not help but turn to Lu Jin as she waited for the elevator. “Brother Jin, I think Senior Hua Xiangrong would not want to see you live in her shadow forever.”


  Lu Jin had to learn to ignore Ruo Feiqun and his wife before he could walk out of the elevator. Otherwise, he would never be able to walk out of the elevator for the rest of his life.

  When the elevator arrived, Yun Xiangxiang entered the elevator. She looked at Lu Jin; he had a smile on his face as he watched her leave. He didn’t reply to her.

  She could only say so much. If she said too much, it would only make things worse.

  She walked out of the parking lot with Song Qian. Just as they drove out of the car, the media caught up with them. “Xiangxiang, they are waiting for us.”


  “Don’t worry about it. Just drive straight home.” Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes darkened.

  Needless to say, Lu Huanong must have sold the news of her arrival to the reporters. This was her usual trick.
