Chapter 27: A Call from Jessica

  As Song Tang let out a loud roar, the reporters surrounding him suddenly stopped scrambling and looked at him in confusion. Seeing this, Song Tang hastily said: "Please everyone follow order, if it continues like this, I believe even God wouldn't know how to answer these questions again."

  "Haha!" The reporters surrounding Song Tang were suddenly amused by his somewhat humorous words.

  Then, some clever reporters took the opportunity to ask: "Hello Mr. Song, I am a reporter from Los Angeles Daily News, may I ask what's your next step? Are you going to start filming two movies at the same time, is that true?"

  "Yes, as you can see, the two films that were just advertised on the movie screen are the ones that will be shot next!"

  "Then may I ask Mr. Song, can you reveal a little bit about the plot of the new movie?" Another reporter chimed in at this time.

  "Sorry, that's not going to work." Upon hearing Song Tang's response, the surrounding reporters' eyes clearly showed disappointment, but then Song Tang's response did give them some psychological comfort.

  "But I can assure you that both films are absolutely fantastic. 'Jurassic Park' is a purely Hollywood commercial film, it will definitely bring visual shock to the audience, at least for now I can confirm that 'Jurassic Park' will create a box office myth, I guarantee its global box office will exceed one billion US dollars."

  "As for the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption', I guarantee that its plot is absolutely more wonderful than 'Jurassic Park'."

  "Mr. Song, are you saying that the box office of 'The Shawshank Redemption' will be higher than 'Jurassic Park'? Oh my god, how much is it going to make? 1.1 billion, 1.2 billion or 1.5 billion? You're openly robbing us!" At this time, a somewhat sleazy-looking Eastern reporter asked.

  As soon as Song Tang heard it, he looked towards the person who was speaking and suddenly felt happy. Isn't this a reporter from a certain island country? It's really not very knowledgeable. Originally in his previous life, Song Tang didn't like people from that island country very much, but after coming to this world, under the influence of the Song family with its red color, he disliked that Pacific island country even more, except for the women of that island country.

  "Excuse me, don't measure my intentions with inhuman thoughts. However, out of our good human nature, I still want to tell you something." Song Tang said with a hint of a smile.

  "Ah, no!" But when this reporter from a certain island nation saw the disgusted looks of the surrounding reporters, he lost all interest in hearing what Song Tang had to say and hastily escaped the crowd.

  "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Jurassic Park" are fundamentally different types of films. After all, Jurassic Park is a commercial blockbuster that pursues visual effects and high box office sales, while The Shawshank Redemption is a drama film with more artistic connotations. I can clearly tell everyone that this film will be my entry for the 65th Academy Awards.

  Along with Song Tang's low and passionate words, the surrounding journalists were busy recording Song Tang's words, as if everyone saw a new topic for tomorrow's newspaper.

  "Hello Mr. Song, may I ask if the beautiful girl standing next to you is your girlfriend?" The reporter who had previously taken photos of Song Tang and Charlize kissing asked opportunely.

  Finally, the question that all the reporters were most concerned about was asked. As soon as they heard the reporter's question, the surrounding journalists stopped their recording actions and turned their heads towards Song Tang with a smile on his face and Charlie with a blush.

  Upon seeing this, Song Tang smiled and replied: "Hehe, I really hope to have such a beautiful girlfriend, but unfortunately, Charlize is our company's newly signed actress with great potential, which I believe everyone can see. However, for now, the beautiful Charlize will become my assistant. I hope that in the near future, the beautiful Charlize will become my girlfriend!" As he spoke, Song Tang also gave a longing glance to the surrounding media.

  "Excuse me, Miss Charlize, have you agreed to be Mr. Song Tang's girlfriend?"

  "Excuse me..."

  。。。。。。

  "Alright! Everyone, my questions have been answered here, and I hope everyone can do a big promotion for my film." As he said that, Song Tang pulled Charlie away with the help of the staff around him, quickly leaving the scene, leaving behind a group of reporters who were still desperately trying to ask one more question.

  After fleeing the scene, Song Tang quickly pulled Charlie into his own car and sped towards the company. It wasn't until then that Song Tang let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself: These reporters are still putting quite a bit of pressure on me.

  She slightly turned her head to one side, looking at Charlie sitting in the passenger seat. Due to shyness, Charlie's face was slightly red at this time. Song Tang felt a wave of heart palpitations as he looked at Charlie. Looking at the silent Charlie, Song Tang opened his mouth to comfort him: "Charlie, I think you should learn to get used to this atmosphere."

  Charlie heard Song Tang's comforting words, looked at Song Tang with a complex expression, and didn't respond, as if still angry about the kiss in the cinema earlier.

  Song Tang also saw this and no longer made a fool of himself. He began to drive the vehicle with concentration, leaving behind the silent couple in the car.

  The next day, all the major media made a lot of reports on yesterday's events. The Los Angeles Daily News said: "It's hard to imagine that 'Trash' is a film written and directed by an 18-year-old kid. Without a doubt, he will become a shining superstar overnight."

  The New York Times, however, remained skeptical of Song Tang: "I don't know where the courage of Datang Film comes from to shoot two films at once. Are they not worried about affecting the quality of the film? Or is this just a joke, like everything in 'Low Profile'?"

  The most eye-catching one is still a shot of an unknown newspaper printing, a shot of Song Tang kissing Charlie, with the words "Hollywood's smallest director celebrates with his beautiful girlfriend!" On the newspaper, there is also a striking picture, possibly due to the angle, which makes Charlie's face, originally kissed by Song Tang, become a passionate kiss between the two.

  In the morning, Song Tang arrived at the company and was about to hold a meeting when a familiar mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded. Song Tang took out his phone, looked at the familiar number on it, pressed the answer button, and said with a smile: "Dear sweetheart, are you thinking of me again?"

  "Oh no, Song, I think you owe me an explanation. That wasn't true, was it?" Jessica's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

  Until then, Song Tang saw the newspaper on the table that described his scandal, and suddenly felt a thud in his heart, thinking it was not good, how could he have forgotten such a thing? Women in love are prone to suspicion. So Song Tang asked awkwardly: "Dear sweetheart, what exactly do you mean?" At this time, Song Tang had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and silly.

  "Song, is what's in the newspaper today true? I think you owe me a clear answer. What am I to you, anyway?" At this point, Jessica's choked voice came through the phone.

  Hearing Jessica's sobbing on the other side, Song Tang's heart suddenly panicked and said with some tenderness: "Sweetheart, things aren't as you think they are. Yesterday, the company held a premiere for the movie, I thought you should know."

  As Song Tang explained, Jessica on the other end of the phone responded with a casual "uh-huh" to show she understood.

  "This is my first film, I succeeded Jessica, you know how excited I was at that time, yes, I was very excited, so I mistakenly took Charliez as sweetheart, and accidentally made an exciting move, will you forgive my carelessness, right, sweetheart?" Song Tang asked cautiously.

  As soon as Song Tang's words fell, Jessica on the other end of the phone suddenly became silent. Just when Song Tang and others were anxious in their hearts, a calm voice came from the other side: "Charlie, is it the girl by your side? Can you tell me something about her?"

  The more Song Tang heard Jessica's voice, the more worried he became. However, Song Tang still told her everything about how he met Charlie and came to the company to become his secretary, while Jessica listened very seriously on the other end.

  After a long time, Song Tang finally comforted Jessica, although he did not completely eliminate her vigilant heart. Song Tang believed that slowly Jessica would forgive him completely, but this incident also sounded an alarm for Song Tang, it seemed that some things were better kept secret!
