Chapter 28: Female Celebrities After Shen Lang’s Looks? Women Understand Seduction Better!
The next second, Shen Teng asked, “Xiao Lang, did you finish writing the song for Hello Mr. Billionaire like I asked?”
“Don’t tell me you forgot!”
Shen Lang chuckled helplessly. “Uncle Teng, don’t worry, I didn’t forget.”
Shen Teng sighed and began venting about the troubles during Hello Mr. Billionaire’s filming—how he resisted investor interference to secure Shen Lang’s role in Pegasus.
As his uncle rambled, Shen Lang waited for the right moment.
In his past life, Hello Mr. Billionaire’s promotional song was “Calorie”, performed by Rocket Girls 101—the girl group formed from the survival show Produce 101 China.
The show premiered on Tencent Video at 8 PM on April 21.
Shen Lang had seen plenty of Produce 101 promotions lately.
Once Rocket Girls 101 debuted, he’d invite them to sing the film’s theme song for maximum hype.
As Shen Teng said, even though Hello Mr. Billionaire had a forced female lead, he still wanted box office success.
Only with strong earnings could he defy investor demands and ensure Shen Lang’s role in Pegasus stayed secure.
Hello Mr. Billionaire was set for a July 27 summer release.
Meanwhile, Pegasus would start filming on July 16, wrapping in November after accounting for Shen Teng’s promotional commitments.
It was already slated for the 2019 Lunar New Year slot—February 5.
Shen Lang murmured, “Two movies in one Spring Festival?”
“I’m the lead in The Wandering Earth—though Wu Jing got roped into co-lead status by the director.”
“And I’m a main cast member in Pegasus, though secondary billing…”
“Either way, both are major roles. The box office potential—”
He didn’t recall Pegasus’ exact earnings, but it surely cleared 1 billion yuan.
The Wandering Earth had made nearly 5 billion. With “Stars and Oceans” as its theme and his own influence, could it go even higher?
“Xiao Lang, what’s on your mind? Still upset, I interrupted your time with that girl?”
Shen Lang shook his head, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Their conversation continued late into the night, with Shen Teng sharing Spring Festival Gala insights and warning against scandals—”Even if Tian Jing’s keeping you, avoid paparazzi. And don’t play with girls’ hearts.”
Eventually, Shen Teng crashed in his nephew’s room, declaring they’d “bond like old times.”
By morning, Shen Lang woke exhausted—his uncle’s snoring had kept him up till 4 AM.
“Xiao Lang, your uncle’s still asleep?”
Meng Ziyi waited outside his door.
“Let’s grab breakfast, then head to set.”
He smiled. “Uncle Teng’s never a morning person.”
She deliberately called Shen Teng “Uncle”—asserting her closeness to Shen Lang.
Same generation = obvious relationship status.
Shen Lang didn’t correct her.
At noon, Shen Teng finally arrived on set bearing gifts—fruit, milk tea—”Thanks for looking after my nephew!”
He even promised the cast Ace vs. Ace invites once The Untamed aired.
The producers flocked to entertain him, though no cameo offers materialized.
Before leaving, Shen Teng assured Shen Lang: “Focus on filming. I’ll handle the rest. And if you need help, come to me—not Tian Jing!”
Shen Lang: “…Is Uncle jealous?”
He vowed to rely on his uncle for Spring Festival Gala prep too.
Once Shen Teng left, Meng Ziyi barged into Shen Lang’s messy room, grumbling, “How can two men live ?”
“That’s why I have you,” he teased.
“What if I wasn’t here?” She eyed him pointedly.
He dodged the implied “Get back together” plea, instead asking her to keep helping during his upcoming crunch schedule.
Meng Ziyi rolled her eyes. Why won’t he just commit?
I wouldn’t even mind him being Tian Jing’s boytoy—as long as I’m the main girlfriend!
“You’re really doing those concerts?” she pressed. “You’ve only got one song. Why you?”
Suddenly suspicious, she gasped. “Wait—are Jane Zhang and G.E.M. just after your looks? Are they trying to keep you too?”
“Stop imagining things. You’re the only one obsessed with my face.” He flicked her forehead.
But privately, he wondered: Could she be right?
Men weren’t the only ones who objectified beauty.
Women understood seduction better.
