Chapter 89: Chapter 89: God Slayer Press Conference

Translator: 549690339

God Slayer?

At first, there was silence below the stage, followed by a commotion.

Who didn’t know that the film Fan Mengxue was replaced in was called War of the Gods.

Now they intended to shoot God Slayer—wasn’t this a clear provocation?

But did this man not know that the investor behind War of the Gods was the Xie Family?

By doing this, wasn’t he afraid of angering the Xie Family?

Many people looked at Xue An differently.

It was as if they were looking at a fool who was too ignorant to recognize the extent of his folly.

Meanwhile, many reporters sensed the whiff of a big news story.

A rather bold female journalist even stood up and asked, “Excuse me, sir, since you plan to help Miss Fan Mengxue make a movie, who will the director be?

And how much do you plan to invest?”

These questions went straight to the heart of the matter.

Xue An smiled without answering directly, but instead asked, “Which press are you from?”

The female journalist was stunned by Xue An’s smile, and then her face slowly turned red.

“I’m from Entertainment Weekly, my name is Chen Xiaoyi.”

“Miss Chen, your questions are excellent. I will answer them one by one. First of all, we already have a director; his name is Cao Zheng.”

Cao Zheng?

The crowd below exchanged looks, many having never heard of the name.

However, the faces of some older journalists changed.

Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes lit up, “Is it Cao Zheng who was once known as the director of genius?”

Xue An nodded, and at that moment, Cao Zheng, now in formal attire, came onto the stage.

Although he looked weathered, many still recognized him at a glance.

Indeed, it was the director of genius!

Things were getting interesting! Xue An continued, “As for the investment, Xue An paused, then held up a finger.

Many in the crowd began to stir and speculate.

“How much is that? One billion?”

“I doubt it. That guy doesn’t look like some wealthy heir. He probably comes from some local nouveau riche family, looking to pick up girls under the guise of making a movie. I think it’s at most ten million!”

“Ten million for making a movie? What would that amount to?” “Who knows? Maybe he intends to just slap something together.” Chen Xiaoyi was also curious, “May I ask how much that is?”

Xue An smiled, “Let’s tentatively set it at… ten billion!”

Ten billion!

This figure froze the smirks on the faces of those who had just scorned the idea, suggesting a figure of only ten million.

In recent years, the film industry in Huaxia had developed rapidly, and large-budget movies were not uncommon.

Generally speaking, anything over three billion was considered a big production.

If it was over five billion, that was virtually a top-tier mega production.

For example, the rumor was that the Xie Family had invested four billion in War of the Gods.

And if what this man spoke was true, then this movie would not only be a top-tier production in the country, but it would also be at the highest level internationally.

Many couldn’t help but look alarmed.

Chen Xiaoyi, however, grew more enthusiastic, “May I then ask what is your relationship with Miss Fan Mengxue? Why are you helping her like this?”

This question piqued the interest of many.

Fan Mengxue’s expression became tense.

Xue An simply smiled, “I can only say, she is my best friend!”

This answer deftly avoided the crucial point, making Chen Xiaoyi somewhat frustrated, just as she wanted to press further.

At this moment, An Qing, leading Xue Xiang and Xue Nian onto the stage, gathered attention.

As the two young girls appeared, they immediately caught the eye of many.

As journalists, they had seen plenty of attractive children, especially the children of celebrities, who often appeared in front of the media. But while those children were indeed beautiful, they all seemed a bit too mature.

Even with their still youthful faces, they often wore standardized, insincere smiles, and although their gestures and actions were cute, they gave off a rather fake impression.

Yet these two little girls provided a breath of fresh air.

First off, they were beautiful.

If one could score beauty, these two little girls would definitely earn a perfect score.

It was the kind of beauty that could soften the heart of even the most hard-boiled tough guy.

Secondly, they were pure.

Many had never seen such pure, clear eyes before.

They were like the finest, unblemished gemstones, captivating anyone who looked into them.

And lastly… well, they were adorable.

Just imagine, two extremely beautiful and pure little girls with double the lethal cuteness, and then picture them holding hands, hopping and skipping onto the stage.

Who could withstand that?

Therefore, many couldn’t help but reveal an infatuated grin, while some quick-acting journalists aimed their cameras at the little girls and snapped away tirelessly.

Xue Xiang and Xue Nian approached Xue An and called out in their babyish voices, “Daddy!”

This “Daddy” petrified many on the spot.

Daddy?

This man was actually the father of these two little girls?

Xue An then put on an indulgent smile, bent down to embrace the two girls in his arms, and said to the crowd below, “Sorry, I need to take the kids away now, goodbye!”

After saying that, he turned and left, completely ignoring the questions coming from behind him.

To Xue An, nothing was more important than his two children, including himself.

In Xue An’s heart, his children and wife ranked first, with himself…

begrudgingly in second place.

And as he left, the rest of the journalists turned their attention to Han Yao.

After all, she was Fan Mengxue’s agent and also a recognized top agent in the industry, with good relations with the journalists.

“Han, tell us what’s going on! Who exactly is this gentleman?”

“Han, as the filming of the movie begins and Miss Fan gets another chance, how do you feel?”

“Han…”

These inquiries made Han Yao somewhat flustered.

Qin Yu stood backstage, watching the busy scene unfold with a hint of a smile on her face.

Mr. Xue surely was impressive.

When she, Cao Zheng, and the others had returned to the hotel, they then discussed their first move.

Xue An had said that since they were going to start filming, they might as well make a big deal of it.

Hence Fan Mengxue’s Weibo post and today’s press conference.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoyi stood in the chaotic audience, biting her lip in irritation.

What the hell!

To leave without finishing his speech?

And who was this man?

Why had he never been seen before?

All these questions intensified Chen Xiaoyi’s curiosity about Xue An.

She bit her teeth, turned, and left the press conference venue. When she got back to the hotel, she compiled the material she had prepared into an article.

“Fan Mengxue’s Star Path Hindered, New Movie Revived from the Dead?? Who is the Mysterious Man?”

In the article, Chen Xiaoyi couldn’t help but lean towards Xue An’s side, first reviewing all of Fan Mengxue’s achievements since her debut, and then subtly implying that some people’s blacklisting was unreasonable and tyrannical.

After finishing, Chen Xiaoyi was very satisfied with the article and sent it to the editor-in-chief.

She was certain that it would definitely be published this time.

But unexpectedly, a short while later, the editor-in-chief replied.

Rejected..
