Chapter 94 - Game Script

Old Master Lu seemed to have guessed something. He stared at Cheng Yi and asked, “Why is he in such a hurry to go back? Has he taken a fancy to some small celebrity recently?”

Lu Mian had always been aloof since he was young. He was cold to everyone and drew a clear line between himself and the Lu family. No matter how much the old master Lu tried to persuade him, he had been unwilling to touch the family business!

Now that he was willing to return to the Lu family, old master Lu could not think of any reason other than it being the influence of women!

Cheng Yi found it a little awkward.

He thought of Jiang Zhi’s identity and the divorce case with the Yan family. He knew that the Lu family would never accept such a granddaughter-in-law…

With the iron-blooded methods of old man Lu, he might even think of ways to make things difficult for Jiang Zhi and force her to leave Lu Mian.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi quickly shook his head and spoke on behalf of Lu Mian to deceive the old man.

“Why would Lu Mian like a celebrity? He has always had high standards! Don’t worry, the entertainment industry has been making a lot of money recently. He must be trying to find out more about the market…”

Cheng Yi found himself running out of words. He quickly found an excuse to escape from the Lu family and patted his chest to report the situation to Lu Mian.

On set, ‘Beacon’ was not affected by public opinion.

After Jiang Zhi finished filming, Director Zheng called her to his office.

Yin Yue watched them enter the office. She crossed her arms and dragged the staff who passed by her in a bossy manner. She said, “There must be something wrong with the relationship between Jiang Zhi and Director Zheng. Look, why is the door closed? And for such a long time…”

Many people were moved by her words. They nodded with a contemptuous expression.

In the office, Director Zheng took out a stack of paper that smelled of ink. On the cover, the words “The Dead” were written.

“This is the first draft of the script. Take it back and have a look!”

Director Zheng was extremely expectant and nervous. He peeked at Jiang Zhi’s reaction.

The plot of “The Dead” had the potential to be a popular tragedy. It was about a middle-aged mother who had lost her child. She recovered her child through an AI game and traveled through it, trying to find a way to make up for the child’s story.

At the end of the story, the AI game collapsed. The mother was unwilling to leave her child until she died. In the end, she was destroyed together with the virtual character.

After seeing the script, one could only predict the salt and tears that the movie would earn when it was released…

Jiang Zhi nodded and said affirmatively, “Not bad, I like it very much! The plot is educational. If we find a good special effects team, the theme will truly shine and there will definitely be more prospects, but… to be able to complete such a complicated and huge game structure, special effects are the key!”

Director Zheng sensed Jiang Zhi’s professionalism and continued to discuss, “We have invited a few companies now. After the shooting of ‘Beacon’ is over, let’s go take a look together? I believe in your aesthetic judgment and I’m willing to believe in your choice!”

Jiang Zhi smiled and continued to chat with him. Then, she looked down and saw Lu Mian’s message.

A few words flashed across the screen, and a strong sense of longing overflowed. “I boarded the plane and came back. I want to see you as soon as possible.”

Happiness surged in Jiang Zhi’s eyes. In the next second, the weather app on her phone sent out a disaster warning. “In the next few hours, there will be an extreme thunderstorm.

“Those who plan to travel should make preparations in advance. The flight may be affected.”

Jiang Zhi frowned. She was so nervous that her expression changed. She took the car keys and hurriedly bade Director Zheng farewell before driving to the airport!

A few dark clouds floated in the sky. In the reception hall, Jiang Zhi stood on her tiptoes with worry in her eyes, trying to find a familiar figure in the crowd…

When the last few passengers walked out, Jiang Zhi did not see Lu Mian.

She lowered her head and wanted to make a phone call, but a pair of strong arms pulled her into an embrace. The familiar fragrance made Jiang Zhi smile and hit Lu Mian’s chest with a reproachful punch. “You scared me to death!”

Lu Mian was overjoyed when he saw her. He moved closer to her ear and asked, “Were you worried about me?

“You’ve made me very happy today. I’m sure you’ll serve me well tonight…”

Jiang Zhi’s ears were red. She pushed him away and said in a low voice, “You’ll be fined if you park your car outside! Let’s go…”

Fans always hung around in the airport.

There were fans with flower bouquets and banners surrounding the exit, waiting for their idols to appear.

The chaotic fans adjusted their cameras and caught Lu Mian.

“It’s the young prince of Beacon! I didn’t expect to meet him here!”

Lu Mian had been recognized by them. He frowned and looked impatient.

The fans rushed over and took out their autographs. They put the marker in Lu Mian’s hand and shouted for autographs!

Some fanatic fans pushed Jiang Zhi away excitedly, wanting to take a photo with Lu Mian.

Jiang Zhi lost her balance and almost fell. She cried out in a low voice, “Ahh…”
