Chapter 80: A Surprise Visit to Dudu on Set!
Chen Duling, currently on set, was unaware that Yuan Linghan had quietly returned to China. Although she longed to see her boyfriend after so long, she knew she couldn't let it interfere with her work. Love was important, but work was more important.
Although news of her relationship with Yuan Linghan hasn't spread yet, it's no secret to Zhao Liying and her company. Many people initially thought Yuan Linghan was marrying above his station.
An ordinary person like me actually had the chance to get a piece of the swan meat of a rising star!
However, with the popularity of the show "Living Alone in the Wilderness," Yuan Linghan has once again become a hot topic online, and her fame is no less than that of top celebrities in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, Yuan Linghan is a true crossover top celebrity.
Besides, what gives him an advantage over top celebrities in the industry is his popularity on international websites. In addition to Europe and America, there are many young netizens in Asia alone who now admire Yuan Linghan.
In short, those in the know now, looking back at Chen Duling and Yuan Linghan's relationship, would sincerely say they are a perfect match. Many even think Chen Duling has excellent taste!
Chen Duling, who is currently filming a period drama produced by her company, is also eager to know when Yuan Linghan will return. Fortunately, she knows that even if Yuan Linghan returns, she will still have to stay on set to complete the remaining filming.
Just as I sat down, I saw the top female employee and shareholder of the affiliated company. Suddenly, she smiled and asked, "Dudu, your boyfriend should be back soon, right? He's really popular online right now!"
"Sweetie, I don't know when he'll be back. But he's finished filming, and there are still some wrap-up things to do in post-production."
If Yuan Linghan were to overhear their conversation, he might realize that the "Sweet Sister" Chen Duling was referring to was none other than the legendary "Jing Tian" who was supposedly impossible to make famous. Of course, the "Jing Tian" who was impossible to make famous only existed in the world where he awakened the mystery within his womb.
In today's world, Jing Tian still debuted by releasing records, but she has since become a top female star in the entertainment industry by starring in many films and television dramas. Chen Duling's personal studio is affiliated with the company she founded.
Chen Duling was quite grateful to her boss, who was five years her senior. After all, she wasn't a graduate of a film academy; she had entered the entertainment industry halfway through. After affiliating with Jing Tian's company, she had indeed received a considerable amount of resources.
For the rising stars in the entertainment industry today, their future rise to the top tier depends on the resources and support they receive. Jing Tian, in particular, is not only a top-tier actress but also a valuable asset in the entertainment circle.
Hearing Chen Duling's honest answer, Jing Tian smiled and said, "Since filming has finished, he probably won't be staying for more than a few days. By the way, has he ever thought about entering the entertainment industry? With his looks and talent, he has the potential to become a new top star!"
To Jing Tian's surprise, Chen Duling quickly shook her head and said, "Sister Tian, he's not interested in the entertainment industry. His personality is actually similar to mine; he likes to stay at home when he has nothing to do. He probably really has no interest in acting."
"That's a real shame! I've seen videos of him killing the giant python and shooting the wolf; he must know kung fu, right?"
When asked, Chen Duling thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "I'm not too sure! He's an orphan, but he served in the army for three years and even received a commendation. I haven't asked him much else."
"An orphan? That's quite surprising! Dudu, when he comes back, I'll treat you to a meal next time. After all, he's 'kidnapped' our company's starlet, so I should at least meet him, right?"
"Sweetie, when he gets back, I'll tell him we'll treat you to dinner."
"That's okay too!"
In fact, domestic entertainment companies are all eyeing Yuan Linghan right now. Especially after learning that he is extremely popular in Southeast Asia and overseas, these entertainment companies all want to sign Yuan Linghan and quickly create a top star.
These entertainment companies believe that Yuan Linghan's skills would make him perfect for action or kung fu films. Jing Tian, as a capital investor, naturally wanted to sign such a cash cow. But now it seems there's little hope.
While the two women were chatting privately, Yuan Linghan drove alone from Shanghai to Dongyang Film and Television City. As one of the most famous film and television tourism cities in China, it receives a large number of tourists and film crews every year.
Although Yuan Linghan didn't know which hotel Chen Duling was staying at, he ultimately booked a guesthouse in the mountains. While the price was a bit high, the environment was quiet and undisturbed, and the security was quite good.
After booking his accommodation, Yuan Linghan called Chen Duling. Chen Duling, who had just finished a day of filming, was instantly delighted to see her phone ringing again and the caller ID displaying the number.
After the call connected, he said with some delight, "Brother Han, you're back in China?"
Previously, she had been contacting Yuan Linghan via satellite phone, but now that he had switched to a domestic number, Chen Duling immediately guessed that he must have returned to China. However, to her surprise, Yuan Linghan smiled and said, "Dudu, I'm back. Have you finished filming?"
"Yeah, just finished filming! Brother Han, I'll probably have to film my remaining scenes for about another week. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
"Silly girl, how could I blame you? Do you have any other plans for tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Duling paused for a moment before saying, "Wait, Brother Han, you've come to Dongyang?"
"Yeah, I missed you. I drove here as soon as I got off the plane. Don't worry, I won't disturb your filming, I just wanted to see you as soon as possible. If it's convenient for you, give me your hotel location, and I'll drive over to pick you up later."
"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I need to take a shower and change my clothes."
"Okay, one hour is enough for you?"
"That's enough! I know a restaurant with really good food, I'll take you there later."
"good!"
After ending the call, Chen Duling's mood instantly brightened. She hadn't expected Yuan Linghan to give her such a surprise. Although she knew what would happen after they met, she was still quite impatient!
The filming schedule was for tomorrow afternoon, which meant she could sleep in. With Yuan Linghan by her side, she felt confident she could get a good night's sleep. The process might be tiring, but the quality of her sleep would definitely be guaranteed!
After a quick wash and simple makeup, and changing into clean and refreshing clothes, Chen Duling sent a text message to Yuan Linghan. Shortly after, an SUV with a Shanghai license plate appeared in front of the hotel where Chen Duling was staying.
The car door opened, and at Yuan Linghan's prompting, Chen Duling ultimately chose to sit in the back seat. Once the door closed again, the SUV quickly disappeared from the hotel entrance. The paparazzi waiting outside the hotel soon sprang into action.
The problem was, when they started their car to follow, they quickly lost track of the SUV. The paparazzi immediately regretted not getting the photos and news they wanted.
When the paparazzi tried to find out whose car Chen Duling got into by checking the license plate, they discovered that the SUV was registered under Chen Duling's name. This meant their chances of finding out who picked up Chen Duling were now completely gone.
While it's possible to fabricate scandals about rising star Chen Duling based on dubious photos, one must be prepared to be sued. In this world, fabricating scandals and rumors carries serious legal consequences.
Chen Duling's agency is a well-known film and television company in China. If they really get into a lawsuit, the consequences for these paparazzi will likely be quite dire. After all, fabricating rumors without evidence has a very high chance of resulting in a loss!
