Chapter 998: She Made Me Believe in Love!
He was not in the country, and she knew nothing about what was happening on his side. Upon hearing that he would be delayed by two days, she immediately thought of bad possibilities.After all, someone is always anxious about her, and would come back a minute early rather than delay for even half a second.
Over the phone, Jiang Jingheng explained, "No, it’s something unexpected."
"Don’t hide things from me," Mu Yan didn’t quite believe him.
"I’m not hiding anything from you, it’s just that something suddenly came up here that needs to be handled. I promise I’ll be home on time."
Listening to his sworn assurance, combined with his lack of a previous poor track record in such matters, Mu Yan gradually felt more at ease.
The two chatted sporadically until midnight, when Jiang Jingheng urged her to sleep before she hung up the phone.
While on Jiang Jingheng’s side, it had just turned dark. He was in a hotel with his laptop open on the table, displaying a revealing photo. There were several such photos.
It was a bed photo of a man and a woman.
The photos were somewhat blurry, but he could vaguely see the woman’s face, which resembled Mu Yan’s.
As for the man, Jiang Jingheng found him somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall.
However, whatever he wanted to know, he would eventually find out.
He picked up his phone and made a call, "Help me investigate a man, quickly."
His gaze swept over the several photos on the table, his brows slightly furrowed. Seeing a face that resembled Mu Yan’s with another man, he felt uneasy.
He was somewhat relieved that this woman was no longer around.
As Jiang Jingheng suddenly delayed his return, Mu Yan was also occupied.
The new movie "The Best Time" was almost ready, so a news conference was held with Li Yushen, the male lead, and Mu Yan attending alongside Chen Zhou.
Actually, previously Li Yushen completely said at Chen Zhou’s home that the male lead role was small purely out of politeness to Xiang Lanqiu.
"The Best Time" is a romance film with many scenes between the male and female leads.
Over the years, Chen Zhou had directed quite a few movies, all of which had been major works focusing on power struggles and competitions, with some literary films, but such romance films were quite rare.
Thus, the reporters present were very surprised to learn that the new work was a romance film.
A reporter asked Chen Zhou why he decided to make a romance film.
Chen Zhou replied that love is the most magical emotion in the world, capable of bringing together two strangers to form a family, live in love and harmony, with happiness.
He even mentioned that the decision to film a romance had been conceived a long time ago.
Upon hearing this, the reporters asked him, "Director Chen, many romance films nowadays end in tragedy, does this film seek to earn tears the same way?"
Chen Zhou’s reply was straightforward, "No, what I wish to convey is positive energy filled with love. A good film doesn’t necessarily have to make the audience cry to be considered ’good.’ The key is to resonate with the audience emotionally."
The reporters continued to probe Chen Zhou, "Director Chen, does this film have a prototype?"
"I wouldn’t say it doesn’t. After all, films originate from life."
"Is it your love story with your wife?"
Chen Zhou said expressionlessly, "No, the prototype of the film isn’t based on any one person but many people."
"Did you want to make a romance film because of your wife?"
The reporters frequently shifted their questions towards his wife, hoping to create a headline.
After all, this well-known director had recently altered his low-profile approach and frequently showcased his affection for his wife, which has gained more attention than his works.
After a moment of silence, Chen Zhou said, "She’s the reason. She made me believe in love."
