I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 110 The Unconventional Sweetie
Su Chang was in a great mood. After learning that "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" had a good box office performance in the United States, she grabbed her best friend Liu Yifei and jumped around like crazy.

This left Liu Yifei completely bewildered.

After hearing Su Chang's explanation, I was genuinely happy for my good friend.

Liu Xiaoli, standing to the side, sighed softly, wishing her daughter could be as lucky as Changchang.

Zeng Li, however, wasn't very happy.

In her opinion, what's the point of a hot sky?

It couldn't dispel the sorrow in her heart.

……

The news that "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" has become a hit in the United States has sparked a lively discussion online.

[This is awesome! Cheng Sheng is exporting Chinese culture to Hollywood!]

It's truly unbelievable that Westerners also enjoy Chinese historical films.

[The Investiture of the Gods in "The Great Tang Dynasty"—Is anyone against my interpretation?]

I just got back from New York, where they're practically selling out of Chinese history books.

I also came back from the United States. Now, all the foreigners there are talking about Li Shimin and Yang Guang. If it weren't for their fluent English, I would think I was back in China.

[This is insane! These foreigners are absolutely crazy! Have you guys seen the YouTube news? There are so many foreigners dressed in dragon robes imitating Emperor Yang of Han, it's hilarious!]

[30 million US dollars in seven days... This is a phenomenal film! A month from now, "The Great Tang Dynasty" will definitely break 200 million.]

【…】

Besides the online buzz, CCTV also broadcast news that evening about the movie "The Great Tang Dynasty" sweeping the box office in the United States.

The news spread throughout the country in no time.

"congratulations."

Cheng Sheng had heard this phrase countless times; it was said by everyone he met.

Especially at school, students and teachers alike congratulated him.

Back at the workers' workshop, I encountered the same people.

"Sweetie, I'm so tired of hearing that."

Looking at the sweet girl in front of him, Cheng Sheng smiled wryly.

What's there to congratulate? Even if the American box office is high, it won't be for him!

"whee."

Da Tiantian chuckled and sat down opposite Cheng Sheng, resting her chin on her hands and staring at him without saying a word.

Cheng Sheng blushed a little when Da Tiantian looked at him like that.

"Do I have any pride?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"No, you don't have any radiance on your face, but you have a halo behind your head—the protagonist's halo in a novel," Da Tiantian said seriously.

Forehead!
Cheng Sheng's face twitched a few times.

This sweet girl is really interesting.

"You've been reading too many novels," Cheng Sheng said speechlessly.

"If you weren't the protagonist in a novel, how could you be so powerful?"

Da Tian Tian gestured a few times in the air and said.

"Pfft!"

Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Da Tian Tian's way of thinking was different from ordinary people!
"Thank you for the compliment. I only did something insignificant. Tell me why you came to see me!"

Cheng Sheng said something polite, then changed the subject.

"I'd like to ask you, will our film 'Yellow Turban Rebellion' be released alongside 'The Great Tang Dynasty'?"

"Big Sweetie asked, her bright eyes sparkling."

"The movie hasn't even started filming yet, and I can't predict the future, so how do I know if it can compare to 'The Great Tang Dynasty'?"

Speechless at Da Tian Tian's naive words, Cheng Sheng, though incredibly confident in his film, still had no say in matters concerning the film.

"Oh!"

Not getting the answer she wanted, Da Tian Tian looked slightly disappointed.

"Alright, I have things to do. You should go back now. We're going to Wuxi Film City in a few days," Cheng Sheng said to Da Tiantian.

"You just do your work, I'll just sit here and not bother you!" After saying that, Da Tiantian took out her phone and started making calls, as if she really wouldn't disturb him while he was doing his work.

"Hey Director Cheng, this guy named Du Wenze is insulting you. Should I get someone to teach him a lesson?"

"And this guy named Qiu Sheng, you can tell he's not a good person just by looking at him. He said your movie is a pile of shit."

"My God, this woman named He Yunshi actually accused your movie of rigging box office figures."

"Chen Kexin, even this Hong Kong director is criticizing you."

"Director Cheng, those people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are despicable."

"Wait, there's also Zhao, she seems to be talking about you too..."

“They also criticize you for being incompetent, and then they target Wu Baige online.”

"And this is even worse, they actually said you like men."

"Hey, Director Cheng, do you really like men?"

"..."

Cheng Sheng was speechless at Da Tian Tian's incessant chatter. Was this what she called 'not disturbing'?

And what kind of nonsense was that last question you asked?
When did I ever say I liked men?

Can you really trust the news online?

They're all just spouting nonsense.

It always feels like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.

If you try to take this kind of backstabbing guy seriously, you'll just lose.

Cheng Sheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these guys' insults; he wouldn't cooperate with such losers anyway.

"Miss, could you please be quiet? You're disturbing my work," Cheng Sheng said to Da Tiantian, rubbing his forehead.

“But when someone insults you, I’m insulting them back online for you.” Da Tiantian acted as if she was doing it for your own good.

Cheng Sheng was quite helpless.

Is this a form of moral blackmail?

Besides, I didn't ask you to help me curse back.

"Thank you! You can stay here and keep arguing with them. I'm going to Sister Fei's office."

After Cheng Sheng finished speaking, he tidied up the documents and left his office.

"Hey boss, did you need something?"

Sun Fei, who was busy at work, saw Cheng Sheng walk in and said with some surprise.

"It's okay, I came here to find some peace and quiet."

Cheng Sheng plopped down on the sofa and said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Fei immediately understood.

Recently, Da Tian Tian has been frequently visiting Cheng Sheng, and everyone in the company knows about it.

Da Tian Tian is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and is very approachable. Every time she comes, she brings lots of delicious food for everyone.

Over time, Da Tian Tian's relationship with the people in the company got better and better.

Sun Fei also felt that Da Tiantian was a nice person. Although she wasn't from his company, she would still help him if needed.

"Boss, you don't know how lucky you are! She's such a beautiful woman, and you've ignored her. Are you even a man?!"

Sun Fei said with a smile.

"What? Whether I'm a man or not, why don't you, Sister Fei, verify it for me!"

Cheng Sheng rolled his eyes at the other person.

"But I have a boyfriend, boss, so please don't get any ideas about me," Sun Fei joked.

"Go away, my values ​​are very upright, I don't have any traitorous tendencies, and you don't fit my aesthetic. Even if I were to make a move on Su Chang, I wouldn't make a move on you," Cheng Sheng said speechlessly.

As Cheng Sheng, Liu Meng, Sun Fei, and Yang Ting got to know each other better through work, joking around became harmless, and they even told some slightly risqué jokes.
