Chapter 1285 - How Do You Feel, Sis-in-law?
Chapter 1285: How Do You Feel, Sis-in-law?
Every meal at Man Jiang Lou cost at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan…
Everyone knew that Cai Jingyao had previously been very popular. Besides that video with Song Yao, it was also because after she left school, she had taken the path of a model. Later, in Morocco, she pursued a career in the entertainment industry. Cai Jingyao had participated in many of the major overseas productions. Although they were all minor characters, she had worked with a powerful production team before. She even had scenes with some of the industry’s big names. This was enough to make a large number of female celebrities in the country envious.
After putting down the phone, Cai Jingyao called out to Lu Jinbei, “Xiao Bei, my classmates said that they’re going to have a gathering tonight to welcome me. Come with me! You know everyone!”
“Okay!” Lu Jinbei replied casually.
…
After “Red Rivers” was released…
Most fans had initially come to watch the movie because of Director Hu and Lin Nuan’s popularity, but all of them had tears in their eyes as they walked out of the theater. They were overwhelmed with emotions as they talked about how tragic the Bai family’s daughter-in-law was.
Lin Nuan’s acting had received unanimous approval. Even Yun Liuli’s acting had improved by leaps and bounds. Yun Liuli, who was acting as Bai Wanqin in the movie, looked completely different from the girl who had acted as the vampire queen in Fu Tianci’s MV.
Lin Nuan’s character was perceived positively. As a magnanimous and ambitious woman, she didn’t lose out to any men on the battlefield. She was intelligent and scheming; her reputation as a female warrior was enough to make one tremble in fear. She was also a dainty girl who treated her brothers and sisters gently, and she remained chaste despite her fiancé’s early death!
This character was nearly perfect…
As for Bai Wanqin, who was played by Yun Liuli, she had been pampered at home since she was young. In comparison, she was a little unruly. Although she regarded her eldest sister as her idol, she spoke rudely, wanting to surpass her.
In an attempt to prove that she was more outstanding than her eldest sister, she didn’t obey her orders and chased after her tottering foe and was captured alive.
However, in front of the battle between the two armies, Yun Liuli shouted out those words hysterically. After she was shot, her complicated gaze and smile caused all the movie fans in the theater to forgive this young lady. Even though she was unreasonable and had no respect for her elders, in her young body, she was already like her eldest sister, having been imbued with the principles that both country and family were important.
Bai Wanqin begged for death, and when she fought with Bai Wanyan, it showed the spirit of the Bai family. The moment they died, they were the backbone of the state of Shu.
The targeted audience for “Red Rivers” was primarily women, but many men were also moved to tears. The movie had caused their patriotic feelings to surge.
Some people talked about how Director Hu had prepared this movie for ten years. From this, one could see Director Hu’s high standard when it comes to filming a movie. Regardless of the aspect of filming, whether it was the costumes, the props, the story, the rhythm, or even the selection of actors, Director Hu had good foresight and was meticulous.
Before they entered the theater, some people didn’t have faith in Director Hu’s choice of Lin Nuan. After all… Lin Nuan was a TV host, not an actress.
However, after watching the movie, they understood why Director Hu had chosen Lin Nuan. Only people who had truly seen the cruelness of war would be able to portray such emotions of grief and sorrow for humanity. Only people who had truly seen flesh and blood on the battlefield would be able to reveal such harrowing expressions.
Other than Lin Nuan, no one else could portray Bai Wanyan’s role in this movie so perfectly.
Some film critics even claimed that no other director would be able to surpass “Red Rivers,” at least for the next five years.
Ever since Red Rivers’ theatrical run was over, and it was broadcasted on various major online platforms, many people went to watch it twice. Some even watched it thrice. While they were praising Lin Nuan’s amazing acting skills, they also applauded Yun Liuli’s acting skills. Her acting skills had tremendously improved, making others admire her.
Some people also said that they were used to seeing women from large families scheming against each other. But the women in the Bai family were different. Regardless of whether it was the wives or concubines, when all of the Bai family’s men had died in battle as a united front, they didn’t harbor any thoughts of scheming against each other. The audience suddenly felt that they were noble!
It turned out not all of the inner yards of noble families in ancient times were filthy, full of conniving women. Women like them could be great too. They could also be popular. The women’s passion as portrayed in the movie was something that everyone should aspire to.
Someone predicted that the production crew of “Red Rivers” would most likely appear in the public’s eye during the upcoming awards ceremony.
At night, when Cai Jingyao was treating them to a meal, the classmates chatted after drinking. At the dining table, they talked about the popular “Red Rivers” and naturally talked about Lin Nuan, then naturally talked about Bai Xiaonian.
“When Bai Xiaonian rescued President Lu of the Kaide Corporation in the United States, she was simply too cool!” a male classmate said, “Back then, I also wooed Bai Xiaonian, but it was a pity that Bai Xiaonian didn’t fancy me. Back then, who was Bai Xiaonian with again? Oh, right! Wasn’t it Lu Jinbei?”
“That’s right. Back then, when Bai Xiaonian got together with Lu Jinbei, they looked so compatible!” The other classmate, who had been drinking too much, had just finished speaking when he realized that Lu Jinbei and Cai Jingyao were together now. He hurriedly corrected himself. “But Lu Jinbei is more compatible with Jingyao now! Back then, he probably liked her! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to be with her in the end!”
This matter… was referring to Lu Jinbei’s affair with Cai Jingyao back then.
“That’s right! It’s still Lu Jinbei’s blessing. First, it’s Bai Xiaonian followed by Cai Jingyao. They’re all top beauties in our school!”
Lu Jinbei’s countenance didn’t look good, and he didn’t say a word.
Cai Jingyao smiled as she picked up her teacup and took a sip, not saying anything.
“Eh? Lu Jinbei… Lu Jinnan?” Someone came to a realization. “Hey… Lu Jinnan has already killed someone! Lu Jinbei… your older brother has also killed someone before. Don’t tell me your older brother is the Kaide Corporation’s president, Lu Jinnan?”
“You’re right! It shouldn’t be such a coincidence. Your brother must really be Lu Jinnan!”
Someone looked at Lu Jinbei, waiting for him to gossip. However, Lu Jinbei kept a straight face and didn’t say anything. Everyone then turned to look at Cai Jingyao to verify.
Cai Jingyao nodded.
“Wow! My ex-girlfriend has become my sister-in-law! Damn… That’s so messed up!”
“Sure! Hahaha…”
“Interview Lu Jinbei, how do you feel about your ex-girlfriend becoming your sister-in-law?”
Everyone started joking around after drinking too much.
But Bai Xiaonian was a sore spot in Lu Jinbei’s heart, and she was his bottom line… Anyone who crossed it was in for a bad time.
Lu Jinbei looked up, his eyes murderous.
“Hahaha, f*ck… Could this Bai Xiaonian have made use of Lu Jinbei to get close to Lu Jinnan back then? Seeing how capable Lu Jinnan is, she made use of Lu Jinbei and Cai Jingyao’s affair to get together with Lu Jinnan?”
“It could also be that Lu Jinnan saw the beautiful Bai Xiaonian through Lu Jinbei and stole her from his younger brother!”
This sentence pierced Lu Jinbei’s heart.
