Chapter 142 - The Film Crew

The female host was moved by Director Pan’s words as well. She said, “I’m really moved by your words. I really want to ask what made you decide to shoot this movie back then?”

Director Pan looked at the sky and sighed before he replied, “Everyone says time creates heroes. This can be said about the movie. In the beginning, none of us expected the movie to be so well received. Liang Zhen and I grew up together. When Liang Zhen showed me her unpublished novel, I thought it would make an amazing movie so I roped her into it. It was also her first time as a screenwriter at that time. We were so poor at that time. I remember we were in the midst of filming when the investors suddenly decided to withdraw the funds. With that, we were put in a difficult situation. Fortunately, at that time, Liang Zhen’s son stepped in and funded us so we could continue with filming…”

After saying that, Director Pan turned to look at Mu Chen and extended his hand in Mu Chen’s direction as he said, “Everyone should feel grateful to him. If it weren’t for him, there would be no Yi Yao. At that time, Mu Chen was still a student. The money he earned from investing at that time went straight to us…”

The crowd was shocked.

The female host exclaimed in surprise, “Heavens! As it turns out, President Mu is Teacher Liang Zhen’s son?”

Director Pan smiled and nodded. “You didn’t expect that, right? It’s always been the dream of parents to fulfill their children’s dreams. Liang Zhen’s happiness lay with the fact that her son did everything he could to fulfill her dreams.”

Mu Chen slowly walked to Director Pan’s side.

Director Pan looked at Mu Chen and said affectionately, “Mu Chen, today I finally have the opportunity to represent everyone in the production team to thank you!”

After Director Pan finished speaking, he prepared to bow to Mu Chen.

Upon seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly stopped Director Pan.”Director Pan, you can’t do this! You’re my mother’s friend!”

Mu Chen’s voice was deep and pleasant to the ears.

Ye Xin, who was standing below the platform, was already entranced by Mu Chen.

At this time, Mu Chen motioned for Cheng Che to come over.

When Director Pan saw Cheng Che, he smiled and said, “I forgot to tell everyone that we have another investor as well. This is Mr. Cheng Che. Back then, he was still studying at a university. In order to help us, he also took out all his savings. He’s Teacher Liang Zheng’s godson.”

With this, the puzzles fell in their places. Everyone only knew Cheng Che was Mu Chen’s assistant whose authority was almost as high as the heavens. Even the shareholders in the Mu Group had to curry favor with him to get projects approved. After all, Cheng Che was the only one who could speak freely with Mu Chen. Those people could speak to the Old Madam of the Mu family, but how could the Old Madam be any easier to speak to? Therefore, there was no doubt Cheng Che was the most popular person in the Mu Group. However, none of them was aware that Cheng Che was Liang Zhen’s godson. Perhaps, that was why there were strange rumors in the past regarding Mu Chen and Cheng Che’s relationship.

Cheng Che smiled and said, “Director Pan, why do you have to reveal this? I quite enjoy reading those ridiculous rumors about the strange relationship between my brother and me!”

Cheng Che’s words immediately drew laughter from the crowd.

The next segment was for everyone to introduce their roles during Yi Yao’s filming. Following that, they would talk about their current work and achievements.

It had to be said that the production team of Yi Yao was filled with talented and outstanding people.

The audience would occasionally exclaim in surprise when they listened to the team’s speech.

On the other hand, Ye Xin was sitting on pins and needles at this moment. Originally, she thought her appearance would be the finale or during the climax. Who knew the committee of the film festival had arranged this? With this, who could still remember the celebrities who walked the red carpet earlier? Her expression darkened immediately as she looked around and saw everyone watching and listening with rapt attention. She felt suffocated at this sight.

Some of the minor celebrities were even fans of the people on the stage. They were equally as excited as the fans. They repeatedly instructed their managers and assistants to prepare gifts such as notebooks, t-shirts, and other items for them. They even planned to ask for autographs when the group on stage was done. It was a rather strange sight that these celebrities whom many chased after were now chasing after the crew from Yi Yao.

Ye Xin’s anger grew and grew, but she had nowhere to vent it. She felt humiliated since she had nothing to do with the film Yi Yao, but she was inextricably linked to it due to her title as Little Ning Xia. What she was most afraid of was someone on or off stage would bring up her and the title Little Ning Xia. It was highly likely something like that would happen since she had just wrapped up filming for the TV series that was based on Yi Yao.
