After arriving at the hotel where the premiere ceremony was being held with Wang Fengyi, Chen Yiyang immediately got caught up in various social interactions.

Many bosses from the entertainment industry came over to chat and talk with Chen Yiyang.

Nowadays, Chen Yiyang is considered quite a figure in the entertainment circle.

And moreover, someone whom nobody dares to offend.

Because on the surface, Chen Yiyang only deals with artist business.

But now, having meddled in so many film and television investments, it's equivalent to being a major investor.

And still one that is unpredictable, uncontrollable, and acts without regularity.

Hence, many investors are also willing to make friends with Chen Yiyang to avoid having him use some means to snatch projects from them in the future.

Before the premiere commenced, Chen Yiyang met Song Xi and Yang Jinlu, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Song Xi still looked the same as before. After chatting briefly with Chen Yiyang, she went off busy rehearsing.

It was Yang Jinlu whose entire demeanor had undergone a significant change.

She's gradually transitioning from a working girl to an idol star. Just judging by her appearance, she has quite the aura, looking much better than when she first appeared on the program.

"Boss, thank you so much for coming today, I, I, sob."

Yang Jinlu, who Chen Yiyang perceived as developing an idol star vibe, cried after hardly exchanging a few words upon seeing him.

Making Chen Yiyang wonder if this girl could truly handle being a star in the future, as she seems unable to hold the stage.

Fortunately, Yang Jinlu was much better than before and quickly composed herself, telling Chen Yiyang, "Boss, you know, I'm just excited."

"Alright, alright," Chen Yiyang said, waving his hand helplessly, "I'm not here specifically for you today. The female lead of the movie is also one of our company's people; go introduce yourself later."

"Okay, boss." Yang Jinlu nodded quickly.

"By the way, how's the movie's theme song that you sang?" Chen Yiyang inquired.

"Boss, I just sang one line."

"Just one line?"

Chen Yiyang didn't expect that with Yang Jinlu as one of the group's main vocals, she sang just one line in the theme song.

However, considering Yang Jinlu's singing skills, Chen Yiyang assumed this was unavoidable.

So he could only console her against his better judgment, saying, "One line is good too, maybe next time you'll have two. Go on to your rehearsal."

"Boss, then I'm leaving." Yang Jinlu waved her hand and left under her assistant's guidance.

As soon as Chen Yiyang turned around to see Yang Jinlu off, Gao Ye arrived.

"Boss, thank you for coming to the premiere today."

"Did everything go smoothly while filming the movie?"

"The crew took good care of me, and the filming went smoothly. I feel the quality is pretty good this time—at least ten billion in box office earnings."

"Shen Teng's last movie had more than ten billion box office; this time, at a conservative estimate, twenty billion seems likely."

"If it really hits twenty billion, then I'll be famous."

"Once you're famous, hurry up and run various promotions to make money. I'm still waiting for my share," Chen Yiyang joked lightly.

Chen Yiyang and Gao Ye aren't very familiar with each other.

He often calls to check on Song Xi and Yang Jinlu, who are young, to prevent them from being led astray and picking up bad habits.

Both of them are high-quality subordinates who can earn him at least five or six years' worth of money—nothing must go wrong.

Gao Ye has been out on her own for seven or eight years, handling things herself without needing concern.

Her studio is merely under Chen Yiyang's name, giving him a share, while the rest operates independently in terms of marketing.

Nonetheless, Gao Ye is quite grateful to Chen Yiyang.

If not for Chen Yiyang's connections, just relying on herself, she wouldn't have been able to secure a lead role in such a major production in her lifetime.

She wanted a breakthrough, which she could only make through luck, playing a secondary role in a film that the inner circle big shot isn't optimistic about, and finally gaining fame alongside its success.

Of course, becoming famous doesn't guarantee subsequent lead roles in films.

Presently, in the film industry, dreaming of lead roles without resources is thinking too much.

All interests are exchanged among various investors.

After chatting for a while with folks from Happy Mahua, the evening arrived quickly.

Accompanied by a burst of applause, the new movie finally ended its screening.

Chen Yiyang watched with great enjoyment.

"This movie is good." Chen Yiyang turned to the little accountant he dragged along to watch the movie, saying.

"Pretty funny, and Gao Ye sis performed quite well." The little accountant gave the film a high evaluation too.

Purely from viewing effects, the film should easily earn over twenty billion at the box office.

The movie's theme song was also good, with the potential to become a viral hit.

Yang Jinlu previously mentioned she only sang one line in the theme song.

Chen Yiyang thought it might be an unimportant line inserted in the middle.

But he didn't expect it to be the final closing line.

And even with just this one line, Yang Jinlu managed to sing off-key.

Still, since this off-keyness was part of the official version, it wasn't a mistake but just deliberately designed that way.

Truth be told, it left quite a lasting impression.

After standing up, Chen Yiyang was ready to leave.

Because Wang Fengyi was still waiting for him outside in the car.

Unexpectedly, someone called to him suddenly from the side.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello." Chen Yiyang turned his head to see.

The face looked familiar.

A Spring Festival Gala comedian Jia Lin.

"Mr. Chen recognizes me?"

"Of course, there haven't been many new faces on the Spring Festival Gala these years," said Chen Yiyang.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to watch the Spring Festival Gala." Jia Lin was quite enthusiastic, chatting away with Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang checked the time and said helplessly, "I have other things tonight."

"Mr. Chen, shall we exchange contact information?"

"Sure." Chen Yiyang exchanged contact information with Jia Lin.

Then, after only a few steps, he saw Shen Teng approaching.

"Mr. Chen, how did you find our new movie?"

"Quite excellent, at least twenty billion in box office earnings." Chen Yiyang gave a thumbs-up.

"Then, I'll take your word for it." Hearing Chen Yiyang's words gave Shen Teng some confidence in his movie.

If the movie was poorly made, Chen Yiyang likely wouldn't say something about securing twenty billion and instead would offer generic compliments about it being impactful or uniquely filmed.

"When are you leaving Imperial Capital? I have nothing tomorrow during the day; shall we have a meal together?"

"As the lead actor, aren't you running roadshows these days?" Chen Yiyang curiously asked.

"I'll be doing roadshows in several nearby cinemas here in the Imperial Capital, so I have some spare time during the days."

Hearing Shen Teng's reply, Chen Yiyang reckoned someone pulled strings to arrange a meeting with him.

However, he indeed had engagements, uncertain if he'd have time the next day.

Thus, he said, "Alright, I'll message you tomorrow. If I have time, we'll meet for a meal."

"Sounds good, Mr. Chen. Your word means the world, it's settled then. Let's connect tomorrow."

"Tomorrow contact." Chen Yiyang said, worried someone else might stop him for a chat, quickly left the hotel.
