Chapter 133 - Money is Power

Lu Shanhe had a hot temper. Change the female lead?

No way!

Seeing that the netizens were roasting him so badly, Lu Shanhe decided to upload the online game promotional video that Gu Manxi and Lin Xiaozhou had shot previously.

@Lu Shanhe: Watch the online game promotional video that went viral. The female lead was Manxi.

The online game promotional video that Gu Manxi had shot previously without showing her face had caused quite a stir. Her back was delicate and beautiful, and she didn’t even have any lines throughout the video. However, the audience could feel that the world of Wuxia was overflowing with her acting.

Many of Cao Yuezhi’s fans even claimed that the female lead in the online game was Cao Yuezhi.

However, Lu Shanhe’s statement was completely unconvincing.

A passerby lamented, “… so the goddess on my computer screen is her…”

Another person was puzzled, “My mom just said that the female lead of Director Lu’s new movie is ‘Fu Meng’. Which one of you can tell me who Fu Meng is?”

Most of the netizens were confused.

“I’m dying of laughter. You can tell her acting skills just by looking at her back?”

“This is the back of my pig. Her acting skills are pretty good, right? I can tell that she’s a pig just by looking at her.”

“The movie industry is really chaotic these days. He gave up on an excellent actress for the sake of somebody with connections.”

“I understand now. Miss Gu must be very capable in bed. Even the director was conquered by her.”

“Change the female lead! Change the female lead! Change the female lead!”

…

Gu Manxi rarely went online. Like all the female leads in romance novels, she had a “tolerant, kind, silly, and sweet” personality. Even if she had to bear the blame, she would not think of fighting back.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had been working hard to maintain her figure, memorizing lines and polishing the script. She had put in all her effort to improve herself.

When Lu Shanhe was free, he came to look for Gu Manxi and brought Jiang Cheng along. Jiang Cheng was quite serious with the script this time. He had delayed the commercials and endorsements for the next six months and seemed to have made up his mind to follow Lu Shanhe.

Every time Lu Shanhe came to look for Gu Manxi excitedly, Jiang Cheng would follow him closely.

He used the excuse that the male and female protagonists had to familiarize themselves with the script in advance and rehearse the scenes together.

That afternoon, Jiang Cheng and Gu Manxi continued to rehearse their lines. Lu Shanhe was bored. He crossed his legs and drank tea in the living room. His eyes narrowed as he watched Gu Chu and Lin Xiaozhou play video games.

“Chuchu is such a smart kid. You’re quite good at video games.” Lu Shanhe could not help but praise her.

Song Chen raised the corners of his mouth. “Of course.”

Look at who Chuchu’s father is. Like father, like daughter.

Lu Shanhe rolled his eyes. “Can’t you be any more shameless? Also, don’t you have a home? You come to Manxi’s house every day.”

Song Chen, who had a lot on his plate, came running over to show his presence again.

Song Chen focused on watching his daughter play games. “I’m happy to do it. Why do you care?”

Lu Shanhe sneered. “If you really care about Manxi, you should at least think of a way to shut the mouths of those stupid netizens instead of watching her get exposed online. I remember that Cao Yuezhi is the number one actress in your company. Her fans are going crazy, yet you’re not doing anything.”

Song Chen was quite calm. He made a cup of coffee and sipped it.

“Don’t worry, it’s being handled.” Song Chen knew Gu Manxi’s strength. She was definitely worthy of being the female lead of the movie. It was just that the internet’s memory was limited, so people forgot about her existence.

Lu Shanhe did not believe this scumbag. He sneered, “You’re handling it? Ha, what ability do you have to handle it?”

Song Chen said calmly, “I have money.”

The corner of Lu Shanhe’s mouth twitched. He was actually speechless.

The next day, a piece of news blew up on the internet.

The banned movie “In the Prime of Time” from five years ago was released once again.
