This top guy is crazy!

The following day, after the premiere, Resident Evil 3 began preview screenings in Serbia.

Reviews from major media outlets have been released.

The Rocky Times:
Although Extinction is the third installment in the series, the story and characters remain surprisingly captivating, with fight scenes and thriller elements effectively integrated into the plot twists. Jiang Nan's performance is particularly surprising; her beauty is an undeniable highlight of the film.

Financial Street Daily:
"The two-hour-long film is thrilling and exciting, and its excellent production quality makes up for the shortcomings in the plot. In particular, the first-person perspective shots and sound effects design are almost perfect!"

The Guardian:
"This is undoubtedly the most visually stunning film in the Resident Evil series, and it might be a movie that your kids will still find cool 20 years from now."

Variety:
A predictable popcorn movie, but Kang Nam's hardcore performance makes this film worthy of full marks.

The Sun Times:
"It gave a shot of adrenaline to modern, numb young people, immersing young viewers in the dynamic impact of Jiang Nan's physique and the zombies every minute."

Jiang Nan nestled on the sofa, her shapely legs exposed, completely unconcerned about the accidental exposure. Looking at the comments from various media outlets, she suddenly glanced at Cheng Cheng suspiciously and asked:
"Orange, tell me honestly, did you secretly bribe the media? Otherwise, why are they so obedient? They used to scold me quite a bit."

Cheng Cheng is writing a song for Spencer's Big and Beautiful Act, saying:

"I didn't buy them."

Jiang Nan persisted, getting up and walking over. She cupped his face in her hands, forcing him to look directly at her, and asked, "What's going on? Did the sun rise in the west? When did these guys become so normal?"

Cheng Cheng's face was cupped by Jiang Nan, and his lips pouted:

"Is it possible that I directed it well, but you acted well?"

"Impossible," Jiang Nan categorically rejected. "These media outlets are all nitpickers, professional contrarians. Even if the movie really becomes a timeless classic, they'll still find fault with it. They won't give it a good review. Have you forgotten about 'The Wandering Earth'?"

“Okay,” Cheng Cheng explained, “The reason is actually quite simple. Things are different in Hollywood now. The first two Resident Evil movies were global blockbusters, Legally Blonde was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, and we’ve produced several shows that have achieved both critical and commercial success… We’ve gone from being an intruder to a significant force in Hollywood. What’s more—”

Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, then continued:
"Spencer and the capital forces he represents are now our staunch allies."

In this circle, the winds of change are very sensitive. The media is shrewd; now is their 'window of opportunity' to extend goodwill and deliberately cultivate relationships. Who would deliberately provoke us at this critical juncture?

“So—” Cheng Cheng spread his hands, “I didn’t actually bribe them. It’s just that what they wrote, to some extent, was exactly what we wanted to see.”

Jiang Nan pursed her lips, let out a short, soft hum, and found it somewhat boring:
"These shrewd people are opportunistic. Now that we're powerful, they turn on us faster than flipping through a book, showering us with compliments like they don't need them."

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but laugh:
"Hollywood is a world of fame and fortune, where praising the powerful and belittling the weak is the norm. In the past, finding fault was 'one's duty,' and now, praising is seen as 'being a wise person to adapt to the times.' What they write may not be entirely the truth, but it may not be entirely false either. At least—you really did a good job this time, that's a fact. They're just saying the good things they used to keep to themselves."

Jiang Nan then sat down on Cheng Cheng's lap.

The soft, warm touch and the weight of her body made Cheng Cheng's breath catch in his throat. He reached out and held her waist, feeling her firmness and fullness even through her clothes.

Then, Jiang Nan's fair arms wrapped around Cheng Cheng's neck like vines, pressing her so close that Cheng Cheng could clearly feel her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, with a faint ticklish sensation.

She tilted her head slightly, her red lips almost touching his earlobe, and said in a soft, seductive voice:
"Hmm? Director Cheng, why are you being so sweet today? Let me taste it, did you secretly put some honey on your lips?"

After saying that, Jiang Nan lowered her head and gave him a sweet kiss. Cheng Cheng continued to hold her slender yet strong waist with one hand, while the other hand slid down her round and full legs, penetrating her clothes and conquering her territory.

In the room, only their rapid breathing and the intimate whispers between their lips echoed.
After a long while, their lips parted, and Jiang Nan pressed her forehead against Cheng Cheng's, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed.

"I've tasted it, it tastes like it's been coated with honey, it's very sweet."

Then, she nudged Cheng Cheng's chest, her push weak and feeble, and said, "Alright, great Director Cheng, hurry up and write the song! Spencer is waiting for your masterpiece!"

"Forget it. Why bother writing anymore? Let's write tomorrow." With that, Cheng Cheng picked up Jiang Nan.

"Ah!" Jiang Nan exclaimed briefly, instinctively tightening her grip on his neck.

However, although she appeared surprised, a hint of triumphant smile lurked in her eyes:

Haha, my sister catches fish every time!

Cheng Cheng carried her to the bedroom, threw her onto the bed, and then pounced on her.

“Ugh… Orange, you… ugh…” Jiang Nan’s feigned protest was muffled, turning into broken sobs.

After a while, a man's arm, with distinct knuckles, reached out and groped to open the bedside table drawer, as if trying to take something.

Another, more slender and fair hand pressed down on him just in time, and his voice came indistinctly from his kissed, disheveled hair:

"...Don't use that...it's okay..."

"it is good."

A short while later, the bed began to shake violently.

Two days later, the matter in the country of Sai came to an end, and Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan boarded a plane back to China.

The roadshow in Serbia went quite well. Resident Evil 3 has an 81% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.9 score from critics, firmly establishing itself as a highly acclaimed film. This achievement is something to promote back home.

The cabin lights dimmed, Jiang Nan put on an eye mask, gently rested her head on Cheng Cheng's shoulder, adjusted her posture, and let out a satisfied, extremely lazy nasal sound:

"Orange, I'm going to take a nap now. Wake me up in two hours."

"Mm," Cheng Cheng adjusted his posture to make her more comfortable, and said, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Nan symbolically patted Cheng Cheng's shoulder and began to fall asleep.

Cheng Cheng turned his head and saw her half-face covered by the eye mask and her slightly pouting lips, dutifully serving as a human cushion. (End of this chapter)
