The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Chapter 296 A Giant Crawler Enters the Entertainment Industry

While Lingyun and Da Meiyuan were spending their spring night together, the premiere of this avant-garde play tonight had already caused quite a stir in the Chinese entertainment industry.

To be more precise, what caused a sensation was not the play itself, but the heavyweight figures who flocked to support it!

Chaoyang, in a luxurious villa.

After washing up in the bathroom, the eldest of the two kings of Huayi returned to the bedroom and prepared to go to bed.

Just then, Xiao Wang suddenly called.

The king glanced at the time on his phone and answered the call with surprise.

"What's up, Lei Zi? It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Are you still out playing around?"

"Take care of yourself. You're not young anymore, don't ruin your health."

He said that because the loud music coming from the phone was clearly coming from a karaoke bar or a private room in a club.

He knew exactly what kind of person his younger brother was!

No need to ask, it's just another scene of extravagance and debauchery over there.

"Brother, I have something important to tell you. Wait a moment, I'll find a quieter place."

Xiao Wang responded loudly.

"Fine! You called and I had to wait?"

The king grumbled irritably and could only wait with his phone in hand.

A moment later, Xiao Wang's voice came again, getting straight to the point.

"That's right. I just heard from a friend that the play 'Hamlet,' invested by Starlight Culture, premiered tonight at the Poly Theatre and received a standing ovation."

"That's not the point. The point is that there are quite a few important figures who came to show their support, including Director Liu from the Ministry of Truth and Director Zhu from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

"My friend said that they secretly counted about twenty provincial B-level leaders sitting in the first row watching the performance, and each of them was quite influential."

"Besides Minister Liu and Director Zhu, there were also the Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, a deputy director from the General Office, and the Vice Minister of Finance, among others."

"According to information gathered by my friend, these important figures were invited by the behind-the-scenes boss of Starlight Culture to come and show their support..."

Next, Xiao Wang told Da Wang everything he knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

During this process, he also made a special mention of it.

After the premiere of the play, Director Liu and Director Zhu took turns to the stage to congratulate the avant-garde play on its successful premiere and to give it high praise!

Given the status and position of Director Liu and Director Zhu, such an action is extraordinary and something that countless people in the Chinese entertainment industry would dream of!

But it is precisely this avant-garde experimental play that has won this honor, how can it not make people envious?

Even Xiao Wang, who comes from a privileged background, couldn't hide his envy when he talked about this!

Then he brought up another situation.

"My friend said that before the performance started, everyone in the audience was specifically reminded not to take pictures."

"Afterwards, a reporter told my friend that they were instructed not to photograph the important figures in the front row, especially not to photograph or report on the behind-the-scenes boss of Star Culture."

"This mysterious behind-the-scenes boss was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He sat between Minister Liu and the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, chatting and laughing with each leader. They all had very good relationships."

"But nobody in the industry recognized this young man. Judging from this, it seems a giant has entered the Chinese entertainment industry, and we must take it seriously..."

At first, the king was somewhat unconcerned.

As Xiao Wang explained, his expression grew increasingly serious.

After Xiao Wang finished explaining the situation, he remained silent for two or three minutes before giving a response.

"You're right, Lei Zi. If what you've said is true, we really need to take Starlight Culture and this mysterious tycoon very seriously."

"The most urgent thing right now is for you to have someone find out about Starlight Culture and this mysterious boss tomorrow, and find out who this young master really is."

"Since this young master wants to become a reclusive tycoon, we must also be careful to keep it a secret. Only by figuring out his background can we decide what to do next."

"If this young man has a powerful background and amazing abilities, we can consider cooperating with Starlight Culture Company and making money together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wang responded:

"Okay, brother, leave this to me. I'll take care of it at dawn!"

They chatted for a while before ending the call.

After hanging up the phone, the king couldn't fall asleep.

He got up and went to the window, reached out and pulled back the curtains, admiring the night view outside while pondering.

Five or six minutes later, he turned around, walked to the bedside, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and dialed an old friend's number.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, he quickly got to the point.

"Xiao Gang, do you have a good relationship with Director Lin from the Beijing People's Art Theatre? Could you contact Director Lin and ask him about the behind-the-scenes boss of Starlight Culture Company?"

"Or you could ask Pu Cunxin. Didn't you act in a movie with him? You have a good relationship. Pu Cunxin should know this reclusive tycoon."

"This guy has acquired a fashion magazine and Starlight Culture in quick succession, spending lavishly and showing a somewhat aggressive approach. I need to get to know the details."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Feng on the other end of the phone chuckled helplessly.

"To tell you the truth, Lao Wang, I went to see the premiere of this avant-garde play today to support Director Lin. I even went backstage after the performance."

"I saw this young man you mentioned both on-site and backstage. I shook hands with him and chatted for a bit. His aura was definitely not that of an ordinary person!"

"I just found out this young master's name tonight, but I really can't tell you, at least not over the phone. You'd better ask around!"

"To put it another way, the security guards accompanying this young master seem to be from the Ninth Bureau's Special Operations Unit. Everyone who went backstage tonight was instructed to keep it a secret..."

"Wow! Ninth Bureau Special Agents providing close protection, is that even possible?"

The king exclaimed in surprise and was completely dumbfounded.

He then immediately changed the subject and began discussing a film that Director Feng was preparing.

They never mentioned Starlight Culture or the investigation into its owner again, as if the whole thing had never happened. They turned the tables so smoothly!

Before we knew it, it was Monday morning.

As usual, Lingyun got up early, changed into her swimming trunks, and went downstairs to prepare for her morning swimming exercise.

When he arrived at the heated swimming pool on the lower level, he discovered...

Jia Jingwen and Yanzi had already come down for their morning exercise, each wearing a sexy bikini swimsuit, and were swimming around in the pool.

Leilei didn't come to the pool because her period hadn't ended.

Seeing Yanzi and Jia Jingwen swim over, Lingyun asked in surprise:

"Why are you all doing your morning exercise so early? You were busy all day yesterday and slept very late. I thought you were going to get your beauty sleep today!"

Yanzi and Jia Jingwen stopped swimming at the same time and stood up in the water.

She then rolled her eyes at him and complained irritably.

"It's all your fault! You and Yuanyuan were too much of a handful last night. Yuanyuan's seductive moans kept us awake at all!"

"Feeling restless and agitated, we have no choice but to get up early for morning exercise. After we're tired from exercising, you go to work, and we'll go upstairs for a nap!"

"Where's Yuanyuan? Why didn't she come down with you? Judging from how she was last night, will she need to rest for most of the day before she can get out of bed?"

Ling Yun showed no embarrassment whatsoever and nodded smugly.

"You flatter me, that's exactly right. Yuanyuan will be sleeping in bed for the rest of the day, so please take care of her..."

With that, he jumped into the pool with a splash and walked towards Yanzi and the others.
