I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Some Choices Are for Life

Lu Yuan felt that Wang Jinxue had disdain for him, and it was from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t change himself just because of that.

The two of them could only be considered partners or friends.

Since she invested in him, he would try to the best of his capabilities to film the movie and promote it. If the movie’s box office rating wasn’t bad, then he’d be considered to have done his part.

Therefore, Lu Yuan felt that there wasn’t a need for him to make some changes.

Moreover, it was to quit smoking.

It was impossible for him to quit smoking. If he were to quit, what else could he do to kill his boredom?

Chew on gum?

Of course, Lu Yuan stopped smoking after getting into the Lamborghini.

Sometimes, people mustn’t go overboard.

There must be a baseline when doing things.

“Have you contacted other companies for advertising sponsorships?”

“No…”

“Ok.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. If you haven’t, then I’ll just take a spot for the advertising sponsorship.”

“You will?”

“Yes.”

“What advertisement will it be for?”

“For clothes.”

“Ok.”

Lu Yuan nodded.

He didn’t have much thoughts about it. After all, the main sponsor was Wang Jinxue, so she could do whatever she wanted.

“Do you have any ideas for your next movie?”

“Next movie? No…”

“Then what about the next step that your company will be taking? Will you be taking on the movie path or agency path?” Wang Jinxue threw a sideward glance at Lu Yuan who was leaning against the window and chewing on gum.

Lu Yuan’s gaze at this moment was very deep, as if he was planning something. That was why she asked this question.

“No…” Lu Yuan shook his head.

“You don’t believe me? Or do you think that I’ll mess up your arrangements?” When Wang Jinxue heard Lu Yuan said that, for some reason, she didn’t feel too comfortable.

She felt a strange sense of distance you got from someone unfamiliar.

This distant feeling was very clear.

It was as if the two of them were from two different worlds.

She didn’t like this feeling.

“No, why would you say that?” Lu Yuan felt a little strange when Wang Jinxue’s tone suddenly turned cold.

“It’s better to take the movie path.” Wang Jinxue didn’t reply to Lu Yuan’s question. “After this movie becomes a success, you can ride on the wave and continue on another movie. If you were to take the agency path, you’re still lacking a capable assistant. But of course, there’s another path you can take.”

“What path?” Lu Yuan listened to what Wang Jinxue said.

“Sign a contract with China Gold. Their S-grade contract isn’t bad. Given your talent and voice, you have the chance to become a top star. However, I know that you won’t pick this path.”

“En, that’s right, I wouldn’t choose that.” Lu Yuan nodded.

Some people who reincarnated or transmigrated might be able to write all sorts of novels and scripts, being omnipotent…

However, Lu Yuan couldn’t do that.

Lu Yuan was just an ordinary person.

“You aren’t willing to be under another person’s control. I know that when you handed me the script, you have been planning a series of things. The truth is that your planning was done right… Even I have no choice but to admire you for your plans.” Wang Jinxue recalled the day when a stranger was panting heavily while he promoted his script. She couldn’t help but feel like smiling.

That day, the sun was shining very brightly.

At that time, there was a strange stubbornness in Lu Yuan’s shy expression. It was as if he was making some kind of important decision.

It was hard to imagine that this big boy was a great talent who had a meticulous side to him, despite usually being quite uncouth.

It was hard to imagine his ambitions.

“You might be mistaken.” Lu Yuan frowned and said, “I’m not planning anything.”

“Haha, do you think I’m a fool?” Wang Jinxue also frowned. Sometimes, she really didn’t like how distant Lu Yuan acted

“No, you aren’t a fool. You’re very smart. It’s just that sometimes, you misunderstood,” Lu Yuan said very sincerely

“Some people have talent but don’t know how to grab onto opportunities. Some people have the talent and know how to grab onto opportunities. You belong to the second group. I don’t believe that it’s a complete coincidence that the internet is full of news about you. If it is a coincidence, then it’s really too much of a coincidence.” Wang Jinxue threw him a glance again from the corner of her eyes.

“So you won’t believe it when I say that everything is a coincidence?”

“I’m not an idiot.” Wang Jinxue shook her head.

“Oh.” Lu Yuan nodded.

He was very honest, but there were times in which no one would believe your words. At the very least, what he was saying now was all true. It was just that Wang Jinxue refused to believe him.

Therefore, he had no intention of explaining anything.

“You have talent, and you have plans. Moreover, you also have an ambition that no one can see through. But you’re still a one-man army. No matter how amazing a person is, they won’t be able to do much.” Seeing that Lu Yuan continued to look out of the window without saying a word, she finally spoke up.

“Would you believe me if I were to say that I am planning to open a food delivery shop?” Lu Yuan knew that Wang Jinxue had misunderstood him. It seemed that her thoughts had run wild.

He fell silent for very long before finally saying this heartfelt word.

“Do you think that I’ll believe in a lie like this, one that has so many loopholes?” Wang Jinxue smiled.

“Would you believe me if I were to say that I wish to set up a leading company in Huaxia to defeat China Gold, buy over Sky Entertainment, and then walk out to the world and into Hollywood?” Lu Yuan was amused by his own words. Even he felt that he had never spoken crap on such a great level before.

But…

“You’ve finally said your heartfelt feelings…” Wang Jinxue nodded and said calmly.

Her tone was very solemn.

She didn’t think that Lu Yuan was talking crap.

“…”

“I can help you.” Wang Jinxue quickly added seriously.

“Why are you helping me?”

“Maybe it’s because you are different…” Wang Jinxue shook her head.

“What if one day in the future, you feel that all of these are but a farce?”

“After I make a choice, I will accept full responsibility for my action. If it’s a farce, then so be it…”

“…”

“A lifetime is too short…”

It should have been a lighthearted topic to laugh about, but Lu Yuan couldn’t laugh after seeing Wang Jinxue’s solemn expression.

He really wanted to say that he had been talking nonsense, that he had just been talking crap…

However, he realized that for some reason, he was unable to say a word.

A lifetime was too short?

What did that mean?

Was she such a person with such a literary side to her?

………

The Lamborghini stopped at the ‘Meeting You’ cafe.

After getting out of the car, Lu Yuan gave Wang Jinxue a strange look.

Wang Jinxue had no intention of getting off.

(Why send me here?

Drinking coffee at such late hours?)

“Someone wants to meet you.”

“Who?”

“He’s in the private room at the very end. He is already waiting for you there.”

“Then what about you?”

“It’s late. I’m a little tired.”

“Wait a minute, that person is…”

“You can choose not to meet him, but it won’t be a bad thing to know him…”

“???”

Before Lu Yuan could react, Wang Jinxue had already driven off.

Lu Yuan scratched his head as he watched the Lamborghini drive off.

(What is the meaning of this?

You’re introducing me to someone, but not telling me who the person is…

Isn’t this too unreliable?

It’d be damn awkward for two people who aren’t familiar with each other to meet like that.

This shouldn’t be the way to act as the middleman, right?)

Lu Yuan was speechless. He stood at the cafe’s entrance and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he went to the store next door to buy two packets of cigarettes.

A packet of “Red Orchid” and a packet of “Huaxia”.

After buying the cigarettes, he eventually chose to enter the cafe.

Although Wang Jinxue was cold at times and seemed to be having greater disdain toward him recently, Lu Yuan knew that she wouldn’t harm him.

Moreover, there wasn’t a need for it.

………

“I’ve sent him to the door.”

“Oh, then come on up. I’ve made tea.”

“I’m going off to sleep.”

“Why?”

“I don’t like to be with smokers, let alone two smokers! It disgusts me.”

“…”
