Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 657

The pre-screening was to be held at 8pm at one of Beijing's biggest theaters.

As one of the most influential actors in Beijing, there was no doubt that there were plenty of attendees at the pre-screening. Amongst them were friends from the industry, big names in film and television, as well as people like President Wang who relied on contacts to get their hands on an invite.

Tangning did not enter via the red carpet and did not undergo any interviews. After all, she was pregnant, and as a surprise guest, she was naturally led into the venue via a secret entrance.

However, something was a little different tonight. The person accompanying her was not her husband, but the nimble young lady, Chen Xingyan.

To match Tangning, Chen Xingyan was dressed in a little black dress. Although she wasn't as dazzling as Tangning, underneath her usually baggy clothes was a surprisingly good figure.

On the way to the pre-screening, Tangning sat opposite Chen Xingyan and smiled, "With you protecting me, I feel quite relaxed."

"As long as you aren't worried that I will attract trouble," Chen Xingyan replied honestly.

"What kind of trouble could you attract?" Tangning teased.

"I might embarrass you..."

"Sheng Ge is my friend and could be considered as my mentor. On his territory, even if you were to cause trouble, I'm sure he'd give me some face and go easy on you. Of course, that only applies if you don't kill someone."

"Good," Chen Xingyan nodded.

Around 7pm, Tangning arrived at the theater. But, due to the fact that she was a surprise guest, Lin Sheng's manager arranged for her to wait inside a special waiting room.

While Chen Xingyan was in the bathroom, Tangning said to the manager, "I'm afraid I need to ask you for a favor."

"Oh Tangning, you don't need to be so polite. We are like family. Go ahead and tell me what you need," Lin Sheng's manager had a relatively high-pitched voice, like an exaggerated supporting actor in a Thai drama. He was extremely stylish, but his feminine persona did not effect his performance in the industry because he always handled matters smoothly and efficiently. This was one of the main reasons why Lin Sheng advanced steadily in his career.

Tangning pulled the manager closer and whispered in his ear. After listening to Tangning's instruction, the manager did an 'OK' gesture.

"For you to actually ask for assistance in dealing with someone, that person must be horrible. Don't worry, the pre-screening tonight will be spectacular."

"But, will this have a negative impact on Sheng Ge?"

"Of course not," the manager shook his hand as he looked at Tangning, "This will happen before the pre-screening starts. Plus, the little nobody will end up being scolded by Sheng's fans."

"Thank you, Mr Luo."

"Why are you being so polite? Our Sheng gained a whole heap of resources because of 'Stupid'."

It was obvious that Lin Sheng's manager was a grateful person. He knew that Hai Rui had invested a lot of resources into 'Stupid', otherwise, the great results that followed wouldn't have been possible.

Although Lin Sheng had won Best Actor three years in a row, he tried to keep a low profile, so just like Bei Chendong, he didn't get many international opportunities. Bei Chendong was weird, so he didn't care, but Lin Sheng strived for better opportunities and roles. Hence, he did not eliminate the possibility of working overseas.

And 'Stupid' opened him up to these possibilities.
