Chapter 239

But Chen Jinfei is a tycoon, worth ten billion.

At his age, he still has to handle a massive amount of business every day.

And this old thing is old in body but young at heart.

He even followed the example of Zhang Jizhong and others, taking Yang Caiyu, who was several decades younger.

An old pear tree pressing down on the crabapple!

All men like beautiful women.

That is an eternal, unchanging truth.

The reason a man hasn't found a young, pretty goddess.

Or hasn't kept many young mistresses.

Is either that his health is poor.

Or he doesn't have the means.

Any man with the means—who doesn't play around?

Zhang Jizhong is over seventy, and he still had a child.

Yang Zhenning, needless to say.

Even Hawking, paralyzed in a wheelchair.

Had many romantic affairs.

Yang Caiyu sat beside him scrolling through the news.

She was only twenty-five or twenty-six.

About the same age as Su Chen.

Yet she had already become Liu Tianxian's godmother.

Anyone with eyes, including Chen Jinfei himself, knew the reason.

It wasn't for the money—it was for the resources.

What goddess would marry a washed-up old man in the prime of her youth and beauty?

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi are the same.

The men they married—Liu Kaiwei and Wu Qilong.

Were admittedly not as old as Chen Jinfei.

Nor did they have such solid resources.

But the purpose was the same.

Yang Caiyu smacked her own sensually thick lips, her eyes lighting up.

"Old Chen, there's a movie that's pretty hot lately, *Detective Tang Renjie*. They're casting the female lead—I want to give it a try."

Chen Jinfei threw her a cold look.

"Are the resources I give you not good enough? You still want to shoot someone else's film?"

Yang Caiyu gave a bitter smile, not knowing how to answer.

As a capital big shot in the industry.

Chen Jinfei did indeed possess very strong resources.

But resources and the actor herself complemented each other.

Back then, he had secured several female-lead roles in wuxia and xianxia dramas for Liu Tianxian.

Propelling her to massive fame.

But then again.

If Liu Tianxian hadn't possessed a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

Those dramas might not have been huge hits.

And wouldn't have become good resources in the first place.

Yang Caiyu's looks were indeed quite a gap below Liu Tianxian at her peak.

Her acting wasn't particularly outstanding either.

On top of that, the resources Chen Jinfei gave her weren't a great fit.

Only one show, *Like a Flowing River*, caught a small wave of popularity.

The rest of her projects were hard to describe.

Precisely because of this.

Yang Caiyu had set her sights on the film *Detective Tang Renjie*.

Chen Jinfei asked coldly: "Who's producing this film?"

Yang Caiyu answered: "China Film Group, Bona Film Group, and Huayi Brothers are all involved."

"What?"

Chen Jinfei leapt straight up.

He was a tycoon.

With investments across many industries.

The film and television circle was just one of them.

If it came to wealth.

Chen Jinfei feared no one in the industry.

But when it came to status, power, and influence within the circle.

Han Sanye left him ten streets behind.

He holds the power of life and death over most films.

Whether a domestic film can pass censorship requires his seal.

Whether foreign films can be imported also requires his seal.

Even Xiangjiang's arrogant Xiang Huaqiang.

If his films want to be released on the mainland.

He must also look to Han Sanye's favor.

In the country, sometimes power is far more effective than wealth.

A tiny official post, a tiny bit of power.

Can easily take down a crowd of rich men.

Chen Jinfei plays the capital circle better than these people.

But in the film industry, he truly cannot beat them.

The resources and connections of these film giants are beyond his reach.

Chen Jinfei's face darkened.

What kind of film is it?

That could make so many giants co-produce it?

He had never heard of it.

Because these three film giants.

Each has the strength to produce a film independently.

Even the strength to produce several films simultaneously.

To make them fight to co-produce.

What kind of monster is it?

"This film is a suspense comedy in the mystery genre, quite novel."

"The two male leads currently set are Su Chen and Wang Baoqiang; the director and screenwriter are also Su Chen."

"He belongs to the category of writing, directing, acting, and investing all by himself!"

Su Chen?

Hearing this name, Chen Jinfei's heart tightened.

This red-hot darling of the entertainment circle, currently enjoying boundless fame.

He had certainly heard of him.

And some time ago.

Su Chen had even been rumored to have a scandal with his former goddaughter, Liu Tianxian.
