"what!"

Da Tiantian exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly tried to pick it up.

But I'm worried about getting my clothes dirty.

I was at a loss for a moment, my cheeks red as ripe apples.

"Don't move, I'll help you."

Cheng Sheng held her hand down.

After saying that, he reached out with his other hand.

Gently brush the popcorn off her clothes.

His movements were gentle, but his eyes held a hint of aggression.

Cheng Sheng kept saying that Da Tian Tian's chest was a bit rough, and that he disliked her for being flat-chested, but Da Tian Tian was actually a bit voluptuous.

Even a gentle touch can feel its softness.

Cheng Sheng's actions made Da Tiantian stiffen all over, and she didn't dare to move at all.

Looking at Cheng Sheng, he couldn't help but become a little lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her dazed expression.

"I want you to manage."

Da Tiantian glanced at him, flustered and somewhat shy.

But his tone was clearly lacking in confidence, and his eyes darted around.

She dared not meet Cheng Sheng's gaze.

"Who? Who's looking at you! You wish! You used to bully me so much, I wish I could bite you to death."

"Oh, is it so?"

Hearing Da Tiantian's flustered explanation, Cheng Sheng raised an eyebrow, remaining noncommittal.

He smiled slightly, reached out, and casually draped his hand over Da Tian Tian's shoulder.

Da Tian Tian's body tensed instantly, like a frightened little rabbit, not daring to move at all.

Cheng Sheng's palms were broad and warm, even through his thin T-shirt.

She could even feel the warmth emanating from his fingertips.

"You, what do you want to do!"

Da Tiantian stammered, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible, unlike her usual tone of voice.

The sound of my heartbeat echoed in my ears like a drumbeat.

She could even feel the burning heat on her face.

What should I do? Should I push him away? Or slap him and ask him why his hands aren't behaving properly?

Da Tian Tian's mind was in complete chaos, and she had completely lost the ability to think.

She could only let Cheng Sheng put his arm around her shoulder.

"Is the injury on your shoulder healed?" Cheng Sheng asked gently, his tone full of concern.

During the filming of "Three Kingdoms", because there were too many horse riding scenes, Jing Tian fell hard several times, especially her shoulder, which was dislocated once.

Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and then felt a warmth in her heart. It turned out that Cheng Sheng had always known about her shoulder injury.

"It's been so long, it's already healed."

"Da Tian Tian said softly."

In the dimly lit theater, the two chatted intimately, like a couple.

As for the movie, the two of them had already forgotten about it.

Time seemed to slip away quickly for the two of them.

Before she knew it, Da Tiantian's head was resting on Cheng Sheng's shoulder.

The hand that was originally on Da Tian Tian's shoulder has somehow moved to Da Tian Tian's waist and is rubbing it intimately.

Their eyes met, and Da Tiantian quickly looked away as if she had been electrocuted.

"do not move."

Just as Da Tiantian was about to push Cheng Sheng away, Cheng Sheng's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed some kind of magic.

He made Da Tiantian obey him involuntarily. Cheng Sheng gently squeezed Da Tiantian's hand, his fingers lightly rubbing the back of her hand, again and again.

It brushed against her heart as gently as a feather, sending shivers of tingling electricity through her.

This is a feeling that Da Tian Tian has never had before.

Da Tian Tian's palms were sweaty.

Sticky.

She felt her heart pounding like a drum.

It felt like it was about to burst out of my throat.

This ambiguity didn't last long, because the movie ended.

Cheng Sheng coughed lightly and released her hand.

But Da Tian Tian felt empty inside.

It was as if something important had suddenly disappeared.

The lights in the theater came on, and Da Tian Tian composed herself, blushing as she said, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, I need to go to the restroom first."

After saying that, she stood up almost as if she were fleeing, and walked quickly out with her head down.

Cheng Sheng watched her flee in panic, then looked down at the spot where she had been sitting; it seemed there was some sweat on the chair.

After Da Tian Tian finished using the restroom, the two returned to the hotel together.

All the way, Da Tiantian followed silently behind him, not daring to say a word.

Upon entering the hotel, I happened to run into Director Chen.

Director Chen sized up the two of them, and seeing Da Tiantian's expression, he instantly understood, as someone with experience.

He smiled without saying anything, not intending to expose him, but instead greeted Cheng Sheng and told him that he wanted to buy some local specialties to take back.

"Wait, Teacher Chen, I'll go with you. I also want to buy something. Tiantian, you go back and rest first."

Cheng Sheng called out to Chen Daoming and then followed him.

As Da Tiantian watched Cheng Sheng's departing figure, a sweet feeling welled up inside her. She felt that the biggest gain from this trip to Cannes was watching a movie with Cheng Sheng today.

Time quickly came to 3 p.m.

This was the time Cheng Sheng had arranged with the film company.

During the Cannes Film Festival, he met with and talked with many film distributors.

I have a general idea of ​​which film studios are reliable and which ones are likely to offer high prices.

So what he needs to do next is to select some 'high-quality film companies' and proceed with the next stage of negotiations.

How much money "The Yellow Turban Rebellion" will ultimately fetch depends on these two crucial days.

First, Cheng Sheng met with Nikko Corporation.

As someone who had worked with the company, Cheng Sheng was very satisfied with this daily active user company.

The other party's offer also met his expected price range.

Initially, before "Three Kingdoms" won any awards, the price for daily active users was $700 million, which was used to purchase the distribution rights for the game.

"Da Tang 1" sold for five million daily active users.

It was two million more than "The Great Tang Dynasty 1", but that was before it won the award.

After winning the award, daily active users increased by another three million, and the company spent ten million US dollars to buy the distribution rights for "Three Kingdoms" in China.

It's more than double the price of "The Great Tang Dynasty 1", which is an astronomical price.

This was much higher than Cheng Sheng had expected; his target price was eight million US dollars.

So why is the daily active user price so high?

If the Chinese people admire the Tang Dynasty, then they are obsessed with the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

The fervor of the Chinese people for the Three Kingdoms culture far exceeds expectations: thousands flock to watch the series, hundreds of clubs and theme parks are springing up, all reflecting a profound resonance between the spirit of Bushido and the loyalty, courage and wisdom of the Three Kingdoms.

When talking about the Three Kingdoms period, people often think of the classic novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," which vividly portrays the characters of the Three Kingdoms, such as Cao Cao's cunning, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's deep friendship, and Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness.

This is why there is an old Chinese saying: "Young people shouldn't read Water Margin, and old people shouldn't read Romance of the Three Kingdoms," which is meant to remind people to be selective in their reading at different ages.

However, what is unexpected is that the people of Little Days have an almost fanatical love for China's "Three Kingdoms culture".

Whenever the Chinese version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is broadcast, people across the country flock to watch it, sometimes even causing the streets to be deserted.
