Chapter 78 - Sign the Contract and Debut (2)
“Mom, I’ve signed the contract. I hope that our movie will top the box office and become well known to all.”
Ye Tianxin took some time to read the script for “Red Cherry”. She felt slightly shocked because the famous director, Jin Xin, had not directed this movie when she had died in a car accident in her past life.
The storyline for “Red Cherry” was captivating. Furthermore, since it was a drama film, many people could surely relate to it.
If she acted well, she might even win an award for her role in “Red Cherry”.
Du Juan smiled when she heard Ye Tianxin’s blessings. She said, “I don’t have any hopes for the ticket sales. I just want to make a movie using the story I have in my heart. Tianxin, up until now, everyone has been making commercial films. It would be difficult to top the box office. It won’t be too bad if the movie becomes known to all, though.”
Du Juan did not tell Tianxin that she had mortgaged all her properties to the bank.
She had put all her eggs in one basket for this endeavor.
If she failed, she failed.
If she succeeded, she succeeded.
This was her destiny.
“Red Cherry” was her obsession.
It was for her to remember those people and those things that had happened.
“Mum, with Uncle Jin and you—oh, no! With me as well. This movie of ours will definitely become a dark horse in the box office.”
Du Juan had already decided to put everything she had in the movie. One could imagine how complex her feelings were.
Ye Tianxin’s words were a form of support and a great encouragement to her.
“Yes, we will definitely succeed.”
Du Juan stretched out her hand and stroked the back of Ye Tianxin’s hand softly. “I have gotten someone to hire a reliable caregiver for your grandmother. Your grandmother and I are hoping that you focus on your studies and achieve good results at your college entrance exam. Tianxin, although I think that while taking the exams and going to college might not be the only path that everyone has to take, pursuing a degree is also a different experience in life. You will get to see different things in college. I hope that you do the things you love the most. Don’t waste your youth. Life is, well, short. We only get to live once, for a few decades. I hope that you will have no regrets.”
Li Qingcang left the room and strode to the elevator lobby.
Lu Jijun was immediately filled with courage when he saw Li Qingcang.
“Where did you hide my daughter?”
The security guard stopped Lu Jijun, not allowing him to get near to Li Qingcang.
Li Qingcang raised his hand. His eyes were calm as he stared at Lu Jijun.
At that moment, Lu Jijun felt as if he was not looking at a young man, but a blood-thirsty demon that had emerged from a mountain of corpses.
Li Qingcang’s aura was strong.
It was so strong that Lu Jijun did not even dare to breathe. A shiver ran down his spine. He could feel his knees weakened. He had cold sweats in his palms.
“Give my daughter back to me!” Lu Jijun roared pitifully.
Li Qingcang’s cold and thin lips twitched up slightly. Then he spoke, “Your daughter? Mr. Lu, do you have proof when you claim that Tianxin is your daughter?”
Lu Jijun retorted, “She is the proof. My blood flows in her veins. I gave her life.”
“Are you really that shameless?”
Ye Tianxin was almost 18.
If Lu Jijun really wanted to acknowledge her as his daughter, why would he wait for 18 years?
Ye Tianxin’s grandmother not allowing him to acknowledge Ye Tianxin was just an excuse.
“No, you are shameless.” Li Qingcang ignored Lu Jijun, who suddenly turned pale. He turned around and said to the guards, “Escort this man out. If he comes back, throw him out again! If he comes back more than three times, break his legs…”
