Chapter 586: The First Time of a Mature Older Sister

Wei Jin never expected that while he was feeling sorry for Yu Pangzi two days ago, he would see him in the headlines of entertainment news today.

Because that 38-year-old Peacock Princess was exposed by paparazzi for having given birth to a daughter for Yu Pangzi.

Perhaps because the child was born out of wedlock, although this Peacock Princess did not explicitly admit the child was Yu Dong's, she was also hinting at it obscurely in order to consolidate her position.

Yu Pangzi, on the other hand, acted quite low-key, appearing completely silent.

It's just that the public reputation of these two people online is not very good, and at this moment, a large number of netizens have already begun mocking them.

"Is this woman the protagonist of the 'Mobile Phone Scandal'? So she successfully climbed the social ladder from being a pimp?"

"Climbed the ladder my ass. Didn't you see the big boss isn't saying a word? Clearly, he doesn't want to take the bait. You can only say the woman is too calculating and her scheme succeeded."

"Wasn't the Peacock Princess high-profile about looking for a husband on TV last year? She was probably already pregnant by then, right?"

"No wonder Yuan Li decisively got married; it turns out the new has replaced the old. She has guts!"

"The man has achieved success and fame, abandoning his wife of humble beginnings; the woman uses every possible means to climb the ladder. Neither of them is any good!"

"..."

However, while the internet was noisy, the industry was quiet.

After all, if this Peacock Princess really did climb the ladder, she would be a "Big Shot" in the entertainment industry, and no one would go out of their way to invite trouble.

On Sunday, a group from Warner Bros. and Hunter arrived in Beijing, and Wei Jin brought Liu Shishi to receive them.

"Wei, it's been a long time."

Before the lackey Hunter could rush over, Nolan gave Wei Jin a hug first.

"Nolan, it really has been a long time. You look like you're in high spirits?"

"Of course, I must thank you for your trust in being willing to hand the script over to me. During this time, my mind has been filled with how to present the magnificent scenes in the script on the big screen. I think..."

It was clear that Nolan truly liked the script very much; he started chatting with Wei Jin while still in the hotel lobby.

Hunter, on the other hand, was very perceptive. He clearly saw that Liu Shishi was another new boss's wife, so he decisively latched onto her, dragging out his broken Chinese to chat with the young lady.

"Mr. Hunter, your Chinese is really good."

Attending a social occasion for Wei Jin for the first time, Liu Shishi appeared poised and graceful.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Liu. It's just a little bit..."

Hunter used his two chubby fingers to make a gesture that made the South Korean fatty feel a bit triggered, which actually made Wei Jin, who was standing to the side, laugh as well, and he took the opportunity to introduce Liu Shishi to the three of them.

"Wow, Miss Liu is very beautiful, and her temperament is excellent."

Paul understood the subtext immediately, grinned, and gave Wei Jin a look that every man understands.

"It's almost mealtime, why don't we eat while we talk?"

"Sure, Wei, it's been a long time since I've tasted Beijing roast duck."

"No problem."

Aside from Kung Fu Hustle, one of the stereotypes foreigners have about Huaxia is perhaps Beijing roast duck; whether it was Hunter or Paul, they both seemed to never forget it.

Wei Jin had Huang Mengying book a restaurant in advance and arranged for roast duck, and the group chatted while they ate.

During the meal, Wei Jin recommended Liu Shishi to Nolan for the role of the second female lead.

After all, Nolan was no nobody; he was a top-tier director and also his friend, so he couldn't act like a dictator as he did with Pacific Rim and Edge of Tomorrow.

After some consideration, Nolan finally nodded; after all, science fiction films don't really require much acting skill.

"Thank you, Director Christopher."

Liu Shishi thanked him very obediently, but her mood was far from calm.

Having stayed in Beijing these days, she had long known that Interstellar was a major project with a budget of 170 million USD.

And the second female lead was the protagonist's daughter, appearing in three distinct periods, and she would need to play both the youth and adult stages; the screen time was absolutely outstanding.

It was even comparable to Liu Yifei's screen time in Inception, and it could definitely take her career to the next level.

Although her personality was slightly indifferent and she didn't fight or compete, how could she truly treat fame and fortune like dust while living in a Vanity Fair? After waiting for many years, she finally had the opportunity to star in a top-tier production; even if she was still some distance away from those four "Jin Girls," she was at least catching up step by step.

More importantly, she was already infinitely satisfied with the attitude this man had shown.

Subsequently, they chatted and laughed during the meal, with Liu Shishi sitting obediently beside Wei Jin, like a little doting wife.

It was just that her pair of dark, clear eyes, filled with tender affection, were all fixed on Wei Jin.

That night, Wei Jin was firmly controlled by Liu Shishi for the entire night.

As the weekend ended, the box office for About Time successfully broke the 600 million mark, closing at 601 million.

Guo Fan took another step forward, becoming one of the few members of the 600 million director club in the country and becoming one of the most prominent directors of this Summer Slot.

After all, this was only Guo Fan's second film; who could predict how far he could go?

Beijing Film Academy continued to uphold its fine traditions, putting up banners early in the morning and pinning the news to the top of their official website.

The several actors also saw their market value skyrocket; after all, no matter how the film industry develops, there are still only a handful of domestic films that have broken 600 million at the box office.

In comparison, the entire production industry was so jealous it was driving them mad.

Because as of now, counting Jiahe, the works of the Shanhe system had already pushed the box office to over five billion, which was truly exaggerated.

There was even an absurd thought in the industry: once this year's New Year Slot ends, won't this box office result break ten billion? However, just at this moment, media reporters broke big news, instantly attracting the attention of the entertainment industry.

"This morning, the Hollywood giant Warner Bros. Pictures film director and the president of the independent film company Summit Entertainment, who previously led the collaborations on Inception, Pacific Rim, and Edge of Tomorrow, visited China Film Group, potentially initiating a new round of cooperation."

Looking at the news exposed online, Ren Zhonglun felt a bit helpless.

When signing the Operation Mekong agreement earlier, he had noticed that the few parties seemed to have some eye contact; now it seemed highly likely there was a project, and it wouldn't be a small one.

"For Shanghai Film Group to catch up to China Film Group, the road is long and arduous."

Wei Jin did not know Ren Zhonglun's thoughts; at this moment, the atmosphere in the China Film Group conference room was quite harmonious.

Perhaps because the cornfields were about to mature, or perhaps because Warner was very optimistic about this project, this negotiation was much easier than in the past.

Warner almost didn't reject any of the various requests put forward by the Chinese side.

In just over two hours, the five investors finalized the final distribution plan.

"Warner, 30%, responsible for filming and post-production special effects, as well as distribution." "Summit Entertainment, 15%, participating in filming and distribution."

"Shanhe Media, 25%, participating in filming and post-production, as well as distribution in the Asian region."

"China Film Group, 15%, participating in filming and production."

"Wanda Pictures, 15%, participating in production."

After signing the agreement, Paul and Hunter did not leave; they chatted with Han Sanping, La Peikang, Ye Ning, and others about the promotional matters for *Edge of Tomorrow*.

Meanwhile, Wei Jin stood to the side, continuing to exchange thoughts with Nolan regarding *Interstellar*.

Benefiting from having the original film in his mind, Wei Jin offered many suggestions, which made Nolan nod repeatedly and call him a kindred spirit.

About an hour or so later, Paul, Hunter, and the others left first, while the Chinese side remained at China Film Group to arrange subsequent matters.

Having collaborated many times before, everyone was quite familiar with the process, and the division of labor was clear as each person was responsible for their own area.

Even La Peikang, who had been in charge of this area before, was able to communicate without any obstacles.

After settling the official business, Han Sanping remembered one thing.

"By the way, Wei Jin, how have you arranged *Big Shot*?"

For Wei Jin's projects, the other investors basically did not interfere; whether it was selling out the copyrights or overseas distribution, he made the decisions.

But seeing that it was to be released in a month and there was still no definite word, Han Sanping could not help but feel anxious.

After all, this should be the last film released during his tenure.

And Ye Ning, who was on the side, also perked up; Wanda's share this time was not small either.

"Well, it's all arranged. This film will only be released in the Southeast Asia region; Toho, CJ, and Golden Harvest will be responsible. As for the rest of the overseas markets, I will sell the copyrights at the Venice Film Festival."

Speaking of this, Wei Jin looked at the group and gave a preemptive warning, "However, regarding the copyrights, everyone shouldn't hold too high of hopes; after all, this subject matter..."

"President Wei, no need to say more, we understand."

Ye Ning spoke first, and Han Sanping and La Peikang both nodded along.

"Well, for the promotion during this period, I ask Chairman Han and Chairman La to please put in more effort."

"Rest assured."

Unsurprisingly, as soon as Wei Jin and Ye Ning stepped out of the China Film Group gate, they were surrounded by reporters; fortunately, both were experienced and managed to slip away directly.

By late afternoon, many speculative reports from the media had already come out.

Even many companies in the industry started calling Wei Jin, but he had no time to pay attention to them because he was on his way to the Golden House.

Tonight's invitation was initiated by Yang Rong; Wei Jin found it hard to resist the charm of this mature woman, so he naturally accepted the invitation with pleasure.

Wei Jin arrived at the Golden House with ease, only to see Yang Rong already standing prettily inside the room.

Today, she was wearing a floral sleeveless deep-V long dress, fully revealing her proud figure. Her hair was coiled high, leaving only two elegant strands at her temples, making her look exceptionally grand and noble.

"Sister Rong, you today... mmm..."

Wei Jin had just wanted to offer a few compliments when Yang Rong, who had been lonely for a long time, pressed herself directly against him, sealing Wei Jin with her alluring red lips.

While Wei Jin responded passionately, his hands were not idle either.

His hands split into two paths; one path caressed her full and perky beautiful buttocks through the smooth-textured dress, while the other army firmly surrounded the enemy's stronghold.

It had to be said that Yang Rong's figure was truly domineering, with curves in all the right places; Wei Jin felt that one hand could barely hold it all.

Facing the harassment of Wei Jin's two armies, Yang Rong, who had been lonely for a long time and lacked exercise, was completely unable to resist.

After just a few short minutes, she felt she could no longer stand and collapsed entirely into Wei Jin's arms.

When this kiss ended, Yang Rong's exquisite face was covered in a flush, her large eyes were filled with layers of mist, and her proud assets were heaving continuously.

But as a mature sister, she knew very well what she wanted; without needing Wei Jin to instruct her, Yang Rong took the initiative to lower her head. A mature woman in her thirties has very strong needs; the two played for a full hour in this long-awaited reunion.

Once Wei Jin emptied his reserves, Yang Rong leaned into his arms with a look of satisfaction, letting the man carry her to the bathroom.

Soaking in the warm water, Yang Rong felt as if every pore on her body had opened up, and every cell was cheering; this kind of pleasure was truly too intoxicating.

While feeling the man's caresses, Yang Rong chatted with Wei Jin about recent work.

Come to think of it, Yang Rong was the most worry-free and carefree woman Wei Jin had ever been with.

If there was a play, she would act; if not, she would travel. Throughout the year, she was like a dragon that leaves its head visible but hides its tail.

Her obsession with wealth and fame was minimal; her philosophy was to just get by.

Returning to Beijing this time was because she had just finished the first round of promotional activities for *Boss & Me*.

This drama followed *The Patriot Yue Fei* and began airing jointly on Mango TV and Hui Province Satellite TV at the beginning of the month.

Relying on the gold-lettered signboard that Shanhe Media had always established, as well as the powerful cast of Qiao Zhenyu, Yang Rong, Ni Ni, Luo Jin, and others, the TV series became a hit as soon as it started airing.

The premiere ratings reached as high as 1.68%, with a viewership share of 13.7%.

As the plot progressed, the ratings soared straight up, and in just over ten days, it approached the threshold of breaking 3, reaching 2.83%.

It suppressed competitors like *Fragrance of Love*, *Flowers in Fog*, and *The Ragged Woman Also Has Spring*, landing at number one for the same period.

The online reputation was also good; currently, over 50,000 people had rated it on Yinxiang Net, with a score as high as 7.8.

It might not be a blockbuster hit that succeeded in both reputation and ratings, but at least it could be called a high-quality work.

"Sister Rong, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

Still holding onto her chest and perky buttocks, Wei Jin felt himself trending toward rising again.

"Just two or three days. Before the second and third rounds of promotion start, there are still a few advertisements and magazines to shoot..."

Listening to these slightly troubled words, Wei Jin looked helpless; as long as he didn't arrange things for her, this beauty in his arms could truly be a couch potato until the end of time.

But perhaps it was this go-with-the-flow attitude toward life that allowed this woman to maintain her youthful state even in her forties in her previous life?

Thinking of this, Wei Jin felt it necessary to give the mature big sister a little more nourishment, so that the shelf life of this life could continue to be extended.

Wei Jin's mouth curled into a playful smirk as he reached out to lift the beauty's chin, "Sister Rong, aren't we going to seize the time tonight?"

Facing Wei Jin's teasing, Yang Rong did not show weakness; with a flip, she pressed her proud breasts against his chest, and her delicate fingers grabbed the handle.
