      by MarineTL — Chapter 102: Film Emperor (22) By the time Zaiye and Tong Jianxu arrived at the gates of Yunxiang Temple, Assistant Zhang had already been sitting with Qian for quite a while. Qian was clutching a boiled corn cob in both hands, gnawing away at it. Assistant Zhang was even holding a cup of soy milk for her. Half of the child's face was hidden behind the corn, and the cob had been gnawed into a lumpy mess. The three of them had come straight here early in the morning without eating breakfast. According…

      Slacker Second Gen C103 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 103: Film Emperor (23) Zai Ye could definitely hold his liquor. Left to his own devices as a teenager, he’d gone rebellious early and picked up drinking long before it was legal. After starting his own company, social drinking became routine—he could drink three “President So-and-so” types under the table in a single meal. In the industry, he was famously good at drinking. On the other hand, Film Emperor Tong, with his perpetually gentle smile, looked like the kind of person who…

The relationship between Tong Jianxu and Zaiye, the new and old dad, also entered a new phase—beating each other before becoming friends.

Zaiye would occasionally drop by to visit Qian, and he and Tong Jianxu were now able to sit down and…

      Slacker Second Gen C105 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 105 – Film Emperor (25) Even on days when he didn’t have any scenes, Duan Hui would still linger around the Illusory Pagoda of No Regret set. He was a small-time actor who had played supporting male roles for years, never really rising to fame—just a steady presence in various crews. People would politely call him “Teacher Duan.” He’d occasionally help the staff with odd jobs, usually sitting near the private rest areas of the main cast, chatting with other minor actors who were also…

      Slacker Second Gen C106 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 106: Film Emperor (26) Before the police and the agent arrived, Tong Jianxu stood in the lounge, showing no intention of leaving. Even the assistant director had been asked to wait outside. He had just finished a major scene and looked disheveled. The sheer costume clung to his body, ribbons and strands of hair stuck to his shoulders and arms, and traces of fake blood still stained him. He had lost his usual smile. Standing motionless, he stared at the bathroom door, a dangerous darkness brewing…

      Slacker Second Gen C107 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 107 – Film Emperor (27) Tong Jianxu quickly wrapped up his scenes and left the Illusory Pagoda of No Regret crew. Although the film boasted a fifty-billion investment and a star-studded cast, after filming for several months, Tong Jianxu didn’t have high hopes for it. While Wang Chenqi’s early films, though often overly cryptic, still had a spark of inspiration, his career had gone downhill in middle age as he recycled old material from his youth. Now that he was older, he was trying to…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 108: Film Emperor (28) Zaiye picked up a call, his face darkened as he shut his laptop, then drove straight from the company to Tong Jianxu’s townhouse. The moment he parked, he got out of the car in big strides and started pounding on the door like he was collecting a debt. The loud knocking startled the assistant, A Yan, who came to open the door. Zaiye walked in and headed straight to the third floor. As he stepped onto the third floor with a stormy air about him, Tong Jianxu was still…

      Slacker Second Gen C109 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 109: Film Emperor (29) Ever since he heard things from the child that were far beyond imagination, Tong Jianxu had become even more anxious about her. He had rarely participated in events or galas before, and now he avoided them altogether whenever he could, choosing instead to stay home with the child. Even the two bodyguards introduced by Assistant Zhang, who had previously been dismissed, were now brought back. Because of health reasons, Tong Jianxu never liked having too many people in his…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 110: Film Emperor (Arc End) Feng Yu once again received a rejection from Tong Jianxu and, after looking at his working schedule for the year, grew a little worried. In the past few months, whether it was endorsements, variety shows, or scripts that had been passed along, Tong Jianxu had turned them all down. The first two categories were understandable—routine rejections. After all, with his current status and positioning, every endorsement needed to be carefully considered, and variety shows…
