Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 171 Enjoying Time with the Concubine
The best outcome for Phoenix Legend, a powerhouse duo that dominated the ringtone era and square dancing scene, and even remained popular in the later short video era, is naturally to keep it in their own hands.

Just like Lu Jiang is now single-handedly poaching Dao Lang and others.

So after securing Peacock Records, Phoenix Legend had their "arsenal," and they could then officially begin the process of acquiring individual artists.

Li Chao has already begun to make specific arrangements, and we believe good news will come soon.

After signing the contract with Chen Rentai, Lu Jiang made a side trip to Tencent.

Tencent's IPO countdown has begun.

The collaboration between Lu Jiang and Pony Ma is currently very stable, although this is not entirely due to the generous compensation.

There are plenty of people with money. If they really want to cause trouble, it won't be easy for Lu Jiang to maintain his shareholding with his limited reputation.

Fortunately, Lu Jiang is from another time. In addition to money and fame, he also has creative output, such as QQ Space, QQ Show, and QQ Game Hall, which are Tencent's future revenue-generating projects. These systematic "advanced ideas" make Lu Jiang's value shine in the eyes of Pony Ma's team.

This also shielded Lu Jiang from potential risks on many occasions, allowing him to maintain his status as a major shareholder until now.

This also made Lu Jiang think several times, "Why not do it myself?"

Maybe next time. If there's another chance to time travel, then I'll play by myself.
After having a small meal with Xiao Ma's team, Lu Jiang returned to the Hengdian "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" studio at 3 a.m.

After taking a shower and lying in bed, I sent Gao Yuanyuan a text message: "1".

In less than a minute, Gao Yuanyuan opened the slightly ajar door.
After a two-week-long battle, Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Jiang discussed the upcoming scenes.

The rescue operation at Bright Summit has ended.

The next scene is just one big one: Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo's wedding.

This scene also marks Zhou Zhiruo's complete descent into darkness, demanding a high level of acting skill.

However, Gao Yuanyuan was not concerned about the acting skills, but rather the plot.

"I've been thinking about this a lot these past few days."

Gao Yuanyuan, listening to Lu Jiangxian's heartbeat, spoke weakly.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, if I were to crash your wedding with Fan Binbin, would you come with me like Zhang Wuji?"

"You're thinking of yourself as Zhao Min?"

"It's strange, isn't it? But I really feel like I am Zhao Min, and Fan Binbin is Zhou Zhiruo."

"Stop overthinking, go to sleep. We have to get up early to film tomorrow."

"You haven't answered me yet, will you come with me?"

"will not."

"I knew it."

"You know and you still ask?"

"I just couldn't help it."

"Can't resist? You won't actually be unable to resist and try to steal the bride, will you?"

"That's possible, aren't you scared?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled playfully.

Lu Jiang, however, wouldn't tolerate it: "If you really want to do that, then we should break up as soon as possible!"

"I'm kidding you!"

Gao Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes, looking wronged and pitiful.

"This kind of joke isn't funny."

"Okay, I won't do it again!"

Gao Yuanyuan continued to draw circles on Lu Jiang's chest muscles with a wronged expression, then asked again, "Lu Jiang, will you give me a wedding?"

"How can I give it to you? If I do, my house will collapse."

"It's fine if it's not made public."

"Let's talk about it later."

Lu Jiang didn't give a definite answer.

We don't even know if we'll be able to stay together in the future.

Gao Yuanyuan refused: "You won't even lie to me once?"

"What, do you really want me to lie to you?"

"I don't want that."

"That's it then, go to sleep!"

Nothing happened that night, and the crew began filming the wedding scene early the next morning.

The wedding ceremony was to last at least two days, and everything went smoothly on the first day.

The next day, Zhao Min will appear halfway through, and Zhou Zhiruo will begin her descent into darkness.

With Lu Jiang present, Gao Yuanyuan's expressive eyes still looked wonderful to Lai Shuiqing, perfectly capturing her character's dark side.

However, the aftereffects of the dark turn seemed to be quite strong, which had a significant impact on Gao Yuanyuan, leading to Lu Jiang suffering the consequences that night.

"Ouch~, be gentle!"

Lu Jiang covered his groin, his tone reproachful, "Why are you so angry today?"

Gao Yuanyuan wiped her lips, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred: "I hate you!"

"We're not on set right now, so don't get too immersed in the role!"

"I know, but I just hate you! Why did you leave me and go with Zhao Min?"

"."

"From now on, if Fan Binbin just waves her a hand, will you immediately abandon me?"

"."

Do you love me or not?!

Lu Jiang finally couldn't take it anymore: "You don't love me! Are you satisfied now?"

"I knew it!"

Gao Yuanyuan burst into tears, got up, put on her clothes, slammed the door, and left.

The door slammed loudly; it was only because there were only three main characters on this floor that it attracted attention.

Lu Jiang ignored her.

That’s crazy!
However, a short while later, Jia Jingwen called.

As soon as the call connected, Jia Jingwen asked, "Why are you bullying Yuanyuan?"

You could hear Gao Yuanyuan crying on the phone.

Lu Jiang closed his eyes, feeling speechless.

Jia Jingwen on the phone said again, "Since you've decided to be with her, then treat her well. She's already accepted that Fan Binbin is above her, she's already pitiful enough, why do you still want to bully her?"

Lu Jiang was furious: "Why don't you ask her what she did to me?"

"What's wrong with her?"

"Ask her, she's not gentle with her hands."

Jia Jingwen then looked at Gao Yuanyuan and asked, "What did you do to him? What did he say about you hitting him too hard?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan was initially confused, but then her ears turned red.

How could I possibly say something like this?

So she simply buried her head in the pillow.

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing, though still unsure of the specific reason, had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Suddenly, her gossipy nature kicked in: "You didn't kick him, did you? How could you do that? Men are very sensitive down there!"

"He wasn't kicked."

Gao Yuanyuan vehemently retorted, but quickly realized she had let something slip, so she turned into an ostrich and buried her head back in the pillow, only this time her ears turned even redder.

Jia Jingwen had already understood.

She immediately burst into laughter.

But Gao Yuanyuan quickly responded with a flying pillow: "What are you laughing at!"

"It's nothing, you bit well!"

Gao Yuanyuan felt utterly ashamed. After all, this was a difficult topic to discuss, so after hesitating for a long time, she could only manage to utter, "...I didn't mean to."

Jia Jingwen, however, stared at her mouth with great interest. Gao Yuanyuan noticed and quickly covered her mouth, saying, "No way... Oh, you're so lewd! What's there to talk about?"

"I'm just worried about you. He's so capable; if he accidentally hurts you, I can cover for you."

"Shut up!" Gao Yuanyuan blushed again, but quickly noticed the key words in Jia Jingwen's words, "How do you know he's amazing?"

Now it was Jia Jingwen's turn to be dumbfounded: "Me..."

"I knew you two had a past!"

"No, you are overthinking."

"Admit it, I don't mind. Actually, many times I've even thought that we don't necessarily have to be as incompatible as Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min. In fact, we might be able to drain him dry together, and maybe Fan Binbin will start to dislike him after a while!"

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Jia Jingwen and jokingly shared her thoughts, though it was unclear whether they were true or not.

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing was initially shocked by what she had just said.

Gao Yuanyuan is actually so open?

But he quickly became very interested in Gao Yuanyuan's suggestion.

Two against one—that does sound very constructive.

But her eyes quickly dimmed again: "It's impossible. My situation is different from yours. Okay, go back, apologize to him, and behave yourself in the future. Don't be so impulsive."

"No, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Aren't you going to comfort him? You're the one who made the mistake."

Gao Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, she realized that Jia Jingwen was right.

She was already at a disadvantage in front of Lu Jiang, and if she really acted out, she would only suffer in the end.

So she immediately tidied her clothes and hair, and prepared to go out.

Jia Jingwen then jokingly remarked, "You're not even wearing a bra, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"I forgot to take it."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't explain much; all she wanted to do now was go back and appease Lu Jiang.

But as soon as he opened the door and peeked out, he saw Lai Shuiqing knocking on Lu Jiang's door.

No need to guess, this must be Lai Shuiqing talking to him about work.

She had experienced this scene three times before, back when she was in Xiandu. Each time, she had to hide in the closet, which is why she didn't have a good impression of Lai Shuiqing.

When Jia Jing heard her shrink back again, she asked, "Why aren't you going again?"

"Director Lai talked to him about work again."

"Then let's wait a bit."

A short while later, Jia Jingwen's phone rang. It was Lai Shuiqing: "Wenwen, come to Lu Jiang's room. Let's talk about the schedule. By the way, we can't get through to Gao Yuanyuan. Can you find her too?"

Jia Jingwen: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Jingwen looked at Gao Yuanyuan and said, "You can borrow mine first."

A little while later, the two arrived at Lu Jiang's room.

The four discussed their upcoming schedule.

Next, Lu Jiang will be leaving the crew again the day after tomorrow to attend the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony in France, which will require him to have three days free. "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" is now in its final stage of filming, and many scenes are inseparable from the three main characters. However, Lai Shuiqing feels that some scenes are unnecessary to film, so they need to discuss it carefully.

The conversation lasted more than an hour.

Finally, Lai Shuiqing received a work call from his assistant and left first; he had to go.

Of the remaining three, Jia Jingwen was definitely not going to stay, so she followed them out. Before leaving, she acted as a peacemaker: "It's not easy for you two to be together. Yuanyuan didn't mean it. Let's talk things out."

Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes, not daring to look at Lu Jiang.

Lu Jiang wasn't angry, but he squeezed the empty cup with interest: "Fake!"

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled and hugged him, saying, "I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

"Do you still want a next time?"

"No, I promise! Baby, please forgive me, okay?"

"alright."

Gao Yuanyuan happily kissed him after hearing this.

Jia Jingwen, who was standing nearby, said, "I shouldn't be trying to persuade you!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

A short while later, there was another knock on Lu Jiang's door. When he opened it, Jia Jingwen asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Wenwen, did you bring your room key?"

"Oh no, I forgot to bring it!"

"Oh no! What should we do? I forgot to bring it too!"

"Call the receptionist."

Lu Jiang immediately took out his phone, but Gao Yuanyuan quickly stopped him, "No, there are only the three of us on this floor. It's the middle of the night and neither Wenwen nor I have our keys. How are we going to explain this?"

"What should I do?"

"Let the assistant contact the front desk again tomorrow morning. We can say that we arranged to do yoga together on the rooftop, but we both forgot our keys."

"That's too far-fetched."

"It's not far-fetched. We did just that a few days ago."

"You two are really careless, okay? Let's do it this way, but where will Wenwen sleep tonight?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled slyly: "Why don't you squeeze in with us?"

Lu Jiang immediately waved his hand: "Impossible!"

Two hours later, nearing 3 a.m., all was quiet.

On the large bed, Gao Yuanyuan confirmed that Jia Jingwen was asleep, then whispered to Lu Jiang on her left, "Why don't you sleep in the middle?"

Lu Jiang wasn't fooled, but such temptation was definitely something he had to teach a lesson to.

So he slowly turned around and began to grope her.

Gao Yuanyuan resisted in various ways, but at this moment it was indeed stimulating.

However, Gao Yuanyuan didn't dare to let loose completely, fearing she might actually wake Jia Jingwen, so she restrained herself and didn't make a big fuss.

On the right, Jia Jingwen remained motionless, as if she had truly fallen asleep.

What Gao Yuanyuan didn't know was that Lu Jiang's hand had already crossed half the bed and was wandering over Jia Jingwen's body without her noticing. Jia Jingwen was naturally more careful than Gao Yuanyuan. She didn't dare to make a sound or even move, and could only grit her teeth and pretend to be asleep.

It wasn't until the two seemed to finally lose their temper and secretly got up to go to the bathroom that Jia Jingwen opened her eyes, looked at the two figures behind the glass wall, and gritted her teeth with envy.
The next morning, the two women appeared perfectly normal.

Professional actors are just different.

Next came the planned "forgetting the keys," followed by the usual work and filming.

During lunch, Gao Yuanyuan whispered to Lu Jiang, "Wenwen seems to really not know anything."

Looking at Gao Yuanyuan's relieved and excited expression, Lu Jiang felt as if Gao Yuanyuan had opened Pandora's box.

This is truly delightful.
"Try again next time?"

"No way!"

Gao Yuanyuan grabbed her lunchbox and ran away.
After the afternoon performance, Jia Jingwen took the opportunity to be alone with Lu Jiang and stepped on his instep, saying, "If you have the guts, do it openly. What kind of hero tries to sneak around like this?"

"That's what you said."

"Yes, I said it, as long as you're not afraid Yuanyuan will turn against you!"

Will Gao Yuanyuan turn hostile?

She's fallen in love with these exciting games!

Of course, the premise is that you have to do it secretly.

If things were done openly, Gao Yuanyuan might not necessarily accept it.

However, these things always need to be done step by step.

"I'm afraid you'll be the one to turn on me!"

"If you don't dare, just say so! Stop making excuses!"

Jia Jing rolled her eyes and left.

Is this some kind of reverse psychology tactic?

Dude, he actually falls for that!
But it won't work tonight; I have to go back to the capital.

There are still three weeks until filming of "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre" wraps up. Let's take our time and look for opportunities!
