The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 226 Miss Jing Tian, ​​please restore your wealth!
……

Event Horizon, special effects company.

"Boss, I've built it exactly as you requested, the effect of a black hole devouring a star... Take a look at the effect."

The scene where the black hole devours the star is the most breathtaking moment in the entire movie.

Lu Zhiyuan can confidently say that this is 100 times more shocking than the black hole in the hat in "Interstellar".

Because that hat-shaped black hole is 2D.

His version is 3D, which places higher demands on the rendering engine.

The requirements for ray tracing algorithms are ridiculously high.

There's also the particle system and fluid simulation in Unreal Engine, simulating particle collisions and irregular dust movement on the accretion disk when a black hole devours a star...

In short, this involves a lot of computational problems.

This scene exists only in theoretical models; astronomical telescopes have never observed it...

To ensure a stronger sense of realism for the audience, the requirements for details will be even more stringent.

For things that actually exist, viewers can use their imagination to compensate for some shortcomings in the details of the visuals. But for things that have never been seen before, the visual presentation must be perfect.

It must meet all physical properties.

Only in this way can the audience feel a true sense of awe.

"Schwarzschild. I can't quite put my finger on it, but my first impression was that black holes don't devour stars like this."

Tell me, which step did you skip?

Lu Zhiyuan didn't know much about physics, but his intuition was always very accurate.

At this moment, under Lu Zhiyuan's questioning, Schwarzschild smiled awkwardly: "Our special consultant told me that the matter near the event horizon of the black hole appears almost frozen due to gravitational time expansion, while the surrounding matter rotates at high speed, forming a strange slow-motion scene."

This is physical science.

It doesn't sound like something a human would say.

It all sounds so convoluted, how could he possibly do special effects?
Schwarzschild expressed his difficulty.

"Okay, I remember."

"When I'm editing, I'll make the pilots in the mechs that are close to the black hole appear blurry and sticky in the footage."

"Give the audience a hint."

Lu Zhiyuan had to admit that Schwarzschild's description of "slow motion" was very difficult to understand; it took several mental steps to grasp it.

It's indeed very difficult to handle when it comes to creating special effects.

However, Lu Zhiyuan can use montage editing to give the audience enough hints to show the extreme physical environment near the black hole.

"Besides that..."

Clearly, this image has more than just a few missing details.

Lu Zhiyuan needed to get this scene sorted out before he could move on to other tasks.

If this scene loses its appeal, the film's original 95-point rating would likely plummet to below 80.

Because this scene is the finishing touch that brings the whole movie to life.

If this one shot is filmed well, it could be enough to go down in film history.

Schwarzschild was slightly relieved to see that Lu Zhiyuan hadn't forced him to take on a difficult task, but instead helped him solve the problem.

"In addition, our special consultant told me that due to the high-temperature radiation, the gas around the black hole will produce a strange red glow."

"However, there are two possibilities."

"If this black hole is moving rapidly toward us, the light emitted around it will exhibit a blueshift phenomenon."

"Conversely, if it is far away, then a redshift phenomenon will occur."

Here, the contradiction arises.

In Lu Zhiyuan's plan, this black hole will rapidly approach the vicinity of the Earth-like planets where they will land.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the light emitted by a black hole would exhibit a blueshift phenomenon.

However, due to the high temperature radiation near the black hole, a red glow is produced.

Is it blue light or red light?

Or do both exist?

Schwarzschild thought about it for a long time, and his head was spinning.

It's completely unmanageable.

"Find our specially appointed physics expert to help us calculate the phenomenon of gradual change in light... no matter how much it costs."

Faced with this problem, Lu Zhiyuan had no way to deal with it.

This was completely beyond his knowledge.

All he knew was that this phenomenon was probably the Doppler effect.

In that case, there's only one way left.

Pay an expert to calculate it for him, and then have Schwarzschild use special effects to display it on screen.

"I knew it would turn out this way."

Upon hearing this, Schwarzschild was on the verge of tears.

Doesn't he know that this is the right thing to do?

The problem is that the resulting effect may not conform to cinematic visual aesthetics.

What if he ends up with a messy, chaotic image?
They spent tens of millions of dollars and produced a pile of crap?

Who could withstand such a blow?

"Any other questions? Please continue. I'm here to help you solve your problems."

Lu Zhiyuan felt that Schwarzschild had gone astray and was no longer a straightforward tech geek. Instead, he had been corrupted by Kun Ge and had learned to be cunning and sly.

But none of this could escape his eyes.

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan's strong thirst for knowledge, Schwarzschild could only helplessly say, "Also, the closer you get to a black hole, the stronger the gravitational waves you can feel."

"To put it another way, there is a huge basketball not far from us, bouncing back and forth on the ground, which not only vibrates but also creates a low-frequency rumble."

"Low-frequency rumbles are not visible in the vacuum of space. But once they encounter a medium like a spaceship, the low-frequency rumbles will become very noticeable."

"Pilots in a spaceship would quickly become dizzy from the low-frequency roar."

Is this even possible?

Lu Zhiyuan was also greatly surprised when he heard this.

The universe is truly mysterious.

The starry sky is truly mesmerizing.

Science fiction films are simply the pinnacle of human imagination; they're incredibly captivating.

When Schwarzschild saw that Lu Zhiyuan hadn't given up at all after hearing about these difficulties, but instead his eyes were full of excitement, he thought to himself, "What a weirdo."

"In short, boss, with the current level of science, we simply cannot determine what kind of extreme environment exists near a black hole. There are even several different models that speculate on it."

"It's inherently difficult for us to create a sense of realism."

I hope you understand.

If it were any other director in this situation, they would most likely just shoot a decent scene and call it a day.

The audience won't mind too much.

As long as the plot is exciting enough and there aren't too many plot holes, that's fine.

However, Schwarzschild knew that his boss was a perfectionist.

In particular, there's a scene in his movie that perfectly captures the essence of the film.

He was willing to risk his life to film it.

Right now, it's just a matter of spending a little more money and having him work a few more months; Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't hesitate at all.

"Not bad, Schwarzschild."

Hearing these descriptions, Lu Zhiyuan not only didn't feel annoyed, but was even a little excited: "Find someone to do everything you just mentioned."

"Without a doubt, if all of this could be perfectly reproduced, we would both be remembered in film history."

"Next, we will create one of the most magnificent and breathtaking cosmic scenes in the world!"

"We will make the world go viral."

"Don't worry, there's no limit to the budget for this movie... The box office revenue from 'Pacific Rim' is starting to come in. Right now, YT Pictures has $5 million in its account."

"You can go all out."

Lu Zhiyuan originally intended to pursue profits and keep costs within 2 million US dollars.

But now, his actions on the other side of Starlight are making him somewhat unhappy.

He no longer wanted to play with them!

Since that's the case, let's just use all the money in the company's account to shoot the footage we want!
As for the film's production costs, they exceeded the budget... what does that have to do with him?
That's the producer's job.

He was just a director, and everything he did was aimed at making this film a classic.

"Boss, I'm all set."

With $5 million sitting there, what else can Schwarzschild say?
If you can't do it yourself, there's not enough time to work overtime, you don't have enough staff, you don't have enough rendering servers... none of these problems matter.

I'm going to find the world's strongest team to be my foreign aid!

There are no shortcuts when it comes to creating special effects.

Just one move!
Burning money!

They're burning through money like crazy!
……

"Brother, you are such an extreme person."

"No one will make movies like you."

"I'm so lucky to be the female lead in your movie."

Just now, when Lu Zhiyuan was in the office discussing special effects with Schwarzschild, Dilraba stood beside him, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her heart and soul filled with Lu Zhiyuan.

Whenever something like this happens, it's as if a flame is burning within Lu Zhiyuan, dazzling and captivating.

It made her want to fly like a moth to a flame.

"Dilraba, you don't need to idolize me like that. Everything I do is for myself. Promoting you as a female star is also to make it easier for me to make a series of movies."

"Because you are smart, beautiful, have a good figure, a strong will, are positive and optimistic, and have a strong learning ability. Your eyes are full of emotions."

"Your smile is innocent and lovely. Your tears are heartbreaking. When you look at people, your eyes can be filled with stubbornness, grievance, playfulness and all sorts of emotions... Your eyes are the kind of ever-changing enchantress eyes that I like the most."

“I flew 3000 kilometers just to find you. At first, everyone questioned my choice. But now, it turns out I made the right choice.”

Lu Zhiyuan's initially cold tone made Dilraba feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But after a while, Lu Zhiyuan started praising himself frankly, which made Reba's lips involuntarily curl up.

Haha!

Sometimes I really hate it when he tells the truth.

But most of the time, she's so cute.

……

This afternoon, Lu Zhiyuan's work came to an end.

Rebala took Lu Zhiyuan to look at some houses near Hongluo Temple.

That area is a villa district with beautiful scenery and a very quiet environment.

It takes about 15 minutes to drive from the villa area near Hongluo Temple to the China Film Digital Base, which is a very comfortable commute.

Next, she will create a warm home for Lu Zhiyuan here.

What Jing Tian couldn't give, she would give.

"Brother, I think this set is pretty good."

Dilraba chose a detached villa, worth about 1500 million yuan. The landlord had just finished renovating it and urgently needed cash flow because his business was in trouble.

Lu Zhiyuan remembers that when he bought the house in Dongshan Villa, it cost a little over 2000 million yuan.

But that was three years ago.

In recent years, housing prices have almost doubled.

"It's your house, you're in charge."

Lu Zhiyuan did not interfere much with Dilraba's choice.

Putting everything else aside, he was truly happy that there was such an outstanding girl in the world who liked him so much and wholeheartedly tried to please him.

“Brother, I can tell from your eyes that you’re not very satisfied with this house. You preferred the 2000 million one, didn’t you?”

"That one has a better view and is quieter."

"Okay, we'll choose the same set as before!"

If it weren't for Lu Zhiyuan, Reba would never want to live in this remote and impoverished place. What does a tourist attraction have to do with her?
She doesn't go out for walks.

However, she felt that Lu Zhiyuan would like this kind of secluded life.

Without anyone bothering him, he can quietly do what he wants to do.

"Reba, I need to take this call."

At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan received a call from Guo Fan. It seemed that there was some problem with the props, and Lu Zhiyuan needed to come back and check.

It's a prop again!

This is the third time this month.

"Reba, I have to go back to work. That's all I can do for you today."

Lu Zhiyuan called the driver to prepare to go back.

However, Reba is preparing to go to the agent to negotiate a lower price.

It's obvious they won't leave so soon.

"Brother, it's okay. I can handle it myself. After all, this is my house, and I can make my own decisions."

"However, remember to think of me while you're working."

"Otherwise, I'll get angry. Humph!"

Dilraba's hunched nose is so cute.

Moreover, being so smart, she naturally knew that Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't be able to get along with her easily for the time being.

Their relationship underwent some subtle changes.

It takes an adjustment period.

This stage is crucial and determines success or failure.

She had to try her best to appear more gentle, cute, considerate, and generous than Jing Tian... Otherwise, why would Lu Zhiyuan choose her?

"Go home early after you've seen the house. I might have to work overtime tonight."

Before leaving, Lu Zhiyuan gave Dilraba a light hug, then got into the driver's car and went straight back to China Film Digital Base.

No sooner had Lu Zhiyuan left than Reba called Hanikezi and Nazha, asking them to come over and help her negotiate the price.

"Honey, Nazha, I'm going to buy a house for our wedding!"

"Come here quickly and give me some advice."

what?
You don't even have a boyfriend, yet you're already planning to buy a house for your wedding?

There is definitely something wrong.

Upon hearing Reba's words, Hanikezi and Nazha, who were still at school, couldn't stay still any longer. They grabbed their backpacks and quickly hailed a taxi to the vicinity of Hongluo Temple.

……

That night.

The three sisters didn't go back.

We found a guesthouse near Hongluo Temple and gathered together, looking rather sneaky.

“Honey, you’re on my side, right? Back when we were filming ‘Real Steel,’ you didn’t know anything, and I taught you most of the acting skills.”

“Nazha, you’re on my side too, right? When you first came to Yanjing, you had nowhere to stay, and I was the one who took you in. I also introduced you to many business resources.”

Reba felt that Hanikezi and Gulnazar were her fellow townsmen, her juniors at the art school, and would also be her juniors at the Beijing Film Academy in the future.

In their early stages, both of them were carried by themselves.

These two girls have no reason not to be on my side.

"Sister Reba, although you are very kind to me, no matter what, I can only stand on the teacher's side."

Hanikezi munched on beef jerky while looking at Reba with suspicion.

It's so unscientific.

It's only been a few days, and I'm already getting a new master's wife?
In the end what happened?
"Senior Reba, me too. You're so good to me, but Brother Yuan is even better to me. I definitely can't betray Brother Yuan."

Naza also had a strange look in her eyes.

What's going on?

I only went to school for two days, why are they changing the boss lady?

"Now that you say that, I feel relieved."

Instead of getting angry, Reba presented the two of them with luxury goods: "Sister Tiantian will be back in a couple of days. If she invites you to dinner, find a reason not to go. Can you promise me that?"

"This is acceptable."

Hanikezi thought about it and realized that he had an exam in two days and didn't have time anyway.

"My dad isn't feeling well, so I'll take a couple of days off to go home."

Naza also gave an excuse.

Although she couldn't openly support Dilraba's rise to power, she didn't oppose it either.

Whether it's Jing Tian or Reba, these two are the big bosses. They stab each other in the back, and even if they stab each other until they bleed profusely, it's still Lu Zhiyuan's hands and backs.

However, if she dares to do something foolish and chooses the wrong side... the consequences will be dire.

……

The next morning.

After the agent called the homeowner over, Reba quickly placed an order and completed the transaction with full payment.

"No wonder she's a big star, she really has guts."

The homeowner is a businessman who, of course, doesn't follow celebrities. He just remarked that celebrities earn so much these days, often buying villas outright.

A house worth 20 or 30 million is like buying cabbage.

Such remote villas in Huairou are most likely only suitable for vacation use, and it's impossible to live here year-round.

This further demonstrates the money-making effect of big stars.

“Brother, the house contract is signed and we’ve got the keys. I’ve arranged to meet Hani and Nazha to go furniture shopping. I’ve set up a studio for you on the top floor; would you like to buy anything? I can buy it while we’re at it.”

When Dilraba sent a message to Lu Zhiyuan, Gulnazar and Hanikezi were right next to her.

The two men stared wide-eyed.

Let's see, is Dilraba really going to rise to the top?
after awhile.

Dilraba's phone beeped, and the two of them quickly leaned over to look at the chat window on the phone.

"No need. I'll buy it myself. You don't understand the tricks involved; be careful not to get scammed."

"These are the little things."

"Most importantly, you should quickly find out which restaurants are good around here. Remember to book meals regularly and have them delivered to your door. I'm a very picky eater."

OMG!

Unbelievable!

Nazha and Hanikezi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

"Sister Reba, no, Master's wife..."

Hanikezi was the first to accept reality and changed his address to Reba, calling her "teacher's wife," which made Reba overjoyed and unable to resist hugging Hanikezi.

"Do you believe it now?"

Reba pinched Hanikezi's cheek and smiled smugly.

"I believe it."

Hanikezi nodded repeatedly.

Lu Zhiyuan even asked Reba to check which restaurants were nearby and to book meals regularly, which clearly indicates that the two are preparing to live together.

How could I not believe it?
I just don't know what happened to Jing Tian.

"Hani, I will treat you even better in the future. I will definitely treat you even better than Jing Tian did." Reba's first person to win over was Hanikezi.

This is Lu Zhiyuan's precious apprentice.

We'll have to take care of them in their old age and see them off when they die.

"Sister Reba, can you tell me what happened during the past week I've been at school?"

Hanikezi was completely baffled.

Could it be because Jing Tian was filming outside, allowing Dilraba to successfully sneak into his home?

Impossible.

Although she kept saying that she would trick Dilraba into becoming Lu Zhiyuan's concubine, it was just a joke.

How could a top star like Dilraba possibly become someone's mistress?
If it gets exposed, Dilraba's career will be ruined.

Lu Zhiyuan also needs Dilraba to be his leading lady, helping him make a continuous stream of movies and create box office miracles...

Other men might be overcome by lust and momentarily lose control.

However, if this person is Lu Zhiyuan...

Hanikezi couldn't believe that her teacher would make such a mistake.

"Hehe, he said I'm his weakness."

Dilraba whispered to Hanikezi and Gulnazar about her new role.

"What? This is it? You were just daydreaming!"

Hanikezi and Nazha were speechless after hearing this.

Upon learning that Dilraba and Lu Zhiyuan were completely innocent and nothing had happened, the most that happened was that Dilraba's secret kiss with Lu Zhiyuan was captured by the security camera in Lu Zhiyuan's house.

what is this?
It was just a small misunderstanding.

Also, what is a weakness?

“Sister Reba, I am also the teacher’s weakness. If I get hurt, or if I am kidnapped by bad guys... the teacher will be very anxious and upset.”

Hanikezi's implication was that what you're saying definitely doesn't count.

Hearing this, Nazha nodded repeatedly: "Senior Dilraba, I feel like you've been fooled by Brother Yuan. He just wants you to focus on filming and not cause any trouble. He's just trying to put your mind at ease with those words."

You're the one who got fooled.

I'm so smart, how could I possibly be fooled by him?

Although he wanted to refute them a hundred times, Lu Zhiyuan had learned from past mistakes.

At this moment, Dilraba couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Those two brats are just jealous of me."

"When I finish renovating the house and move into the new place, I'll let those two brats see for themselves how I show off my love."

Reba secretly made up her mind.

Not in a hurry.

At most one month.

Once the house is renovated, she'll simply ask Lu Zhiyuan to live with her.

Shut everyone else up.

……

A few days later.

Miss Jing Tian has returned from Hong Kong Island.

They brought back lots and lots of gifts for everyone.

"Brother Kun, this is yours."

"Sister Shanshan, this is yours."

“Ah Yuan, of course I won’t forget you… Patek Philippe Starry Night collection, my entire salary for this movie is here.”

After distributing the gifts to the three people, Miss Jing Tian turned her head and frowned immediately; several people were missing.

"Dilraba, Xiao Ai, Gulnazar, Hani... why aren't they here? Have they all been this busy lately?"

Jing Tian pursed her lips and tossed the four gifts to Xin Yukun: "Brother Kun, next time you see them, give them the gifts."

After filming "Special Identity" was completed.

In a few days, Jing Tian's other movie, "Shadow Lover," will be released.

She had to leave home again to go out and promote the product.

That's life for celebrities. They earn a lot of money, but they're also very busy and rarely have time to spend with their families.

Dating can be dangerous too.

Sometimes, while filming on set, you might suddenly find yourself dumped... all the media outlets are scrambling to report on it, but you're the last to know.

Jing Tian is used to seeing breakups and makeups in the entertainment industry.

I also know about the incident involving the couple on set.

Her views gradually changed, and she even became willing to accept Dilraba's help in keeping an eye on Lu Zhiyuan on set.

Anyway, Dilraba doesn't dare to expose it.

After all, Dilraba has worked hard to become a world-class superstar. If she wanted to be a mistress, she could only do it secretly, not openly.

It's so unseemly.

They'll be ridiculed by the whole world.

The only person she guarded closely was Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan already had a bad reputation, and when she met Lu Zhiyuan, she was like a poisoned person, completely disregarding everything and stubbornly pushing him forward.

If she couldn't defend against it, she resigned herself to her fate.

Anyway, given Gao Yuanyuan's character, she'll at most be a mistress; she's unlikely to step forward and compete with her for the position of the first wife.

"Tian Tian, ​​thank you for the gift, but it's too expensive. Take it back to your dad."

Since it's a Patek Philippe Starry Night collection item, it's unlikely that it's a low-end model purchased by Miss Jing Tian. The high-end model would cost around 300 million yuan.

Too extravagant.

Lu Zhiyuan felt that the Rolex worth hundreds of thousands of yuan that Gao Yuanyuan gave him was already very extravagant.

It's simply not necessary.

Moreover, he doesn't like wearing watches.

For people who are used to smartphones, what use is a watch?

Besides, he doesn't need to use luxury goods to enhance his social standing.

Now that he has reached his current status in the underworld, even if he wears cloth shoes, people will only praise him for his good taste.

"My dad has his mistress to buy it for him, of course. Why would he need me?"

When her father was mentioned, Jing Tian's tone suddenly became somewhat unhappy.

Her parents have officially divorced.

She plans to bring her mother over, and from then on, the mother and daughter will depend on each other for survival.

Jing Tian was just making casual remarks.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became very silent.

Zhao Shanshan and Xin Yukun both looked somewhat awkward, as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, they looked at each other and neither of them spoke first.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything and just ate his food silently.

Why are you all staring at me like that? Eat your food.

Jing Tian felt that the atmosphere today was particularly strange, probably because she had been filming outside for too long and was not used to it.

"Okay, let's eat first."

Zhao Shanshan and Xin Yukun exchanged a glance and silently began to eat. However, no matter how well-prepared the food was, it tasted bland and tasteless.

"Tian Tian, ​​I have some things to take care of at the company, so I might not be back tonight. Sister Shan Shan, please stay home and keep Tian Tian company tonight."

Lu Zhiyuan quickly finished his meal, kissed Jing Tian's forehead, and prepared to leave as usual.

"Ah, get away from me. Your mouth is all greasy."

Jing Tian complained and pushed Lu Zhiyuan, but there was a hint of affection on her face.

At this time in the past, Zhao Shanshan would always make a few jokes, and Xin Yukun would whistle to tell the two of them to tone it down and stop showing off their affection every day.

But today, the two of them did nothing, like wooden figures.

Xin Yukun accompanied Lu Zhiyuan down to the underground parking lot.

Without calling a driver, Lu Zhiyuan planned to drive himself to the company.

"Brother, leave the family matters to me. I know what's troubling you."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it perfectly for you, and I'll make sure you have two women on your left and right and enjoy the bliss of having two wives."

"As for the group behind the dazzling stars... you've handled it beautifully enough. I'll clean up the mess for you and make sure they're speechless. They'll never dare to mess with us again."

Brothers for many years.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't need to say anything; Xin Yukun understood immediately.

Now that they have gained enough power, it's about time for them to lay their cards on the table.

They helped Starlight Brilliant earn billions, and had long since repaid their debt of gratitude for their help back then... The other party showed no restraint and still wanted to cling to them like a bloodsucker for life.

Do they think they have no temper?
"Brother Kun, I don't care what others say about me."

"I just want to make the best movies in the world."

"I've been a bit busy with work lately. That Schwarzschild guy is complaining to me every other day. If I don't go back and keep an eye on him, the work will be too slow."

Filming Interstellar on location was very simple.

However, the special effects made Schwarzschild's already sparse hair almost fall out completely.

Lu Zhiyuan had no choice but to go himself.

As for relationship issues, he never thought they were a big problem.

As long as a man has a career, why worry about not having women who like him?

Conversely, if he fails in his career, who will respect him?
Even a dog on the street will bark at a worthless man.

"clear."

"I'll handle these little things for you. It won't take up your precious brainpower."

Xin Yukun patted Lu Zhiyuan on the shoulder with a smile, telling Lu Zhiyuan to focus on his career, as whether he could marry 10 wives in his lifetime depended entirely on him.

"Ten wives? That's such a big boast, you might get kidney stones."

We're all men, what does it mean to have 10 wives...? Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, completely ignoring Xin Yukun.

……

After seeing Lu Zhiyuan off.

Xin Yukun whistled, put his hands in his pockets, and returned to Jing Tian's house once again.

obviously.

When the two of them came downstairs, Zhao Shanshan had already told Jing Tian what had happened.

Jing Tian was feeling somewhat depressed.

After all, that brat Reba did indeed sneak into her house while she was away.

Although she had expected this day to come, it was still happening, so of course she wasn't in a good mood.

"Sister Tian, ​​are you in a bad mood? Tell me about it, let me help you analyze it. Maybe it will make you feel even worse."

Xin Yukun's sarcastic manner made Jing Tian very angry.

"Brother Kun, are you plotting against me behind my back?"

Jing Tian stared at Xin Yukun, her eyelids twitching, her expression filled with murderous intent.

In the past, Xin Yukun would most likely have said a few witty remarks to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But today, his expression turned cold.

He said in a stiff tone, "Sister Tian, ​​it's not me who's messing with you. It's you and those people behind President Zhao who are messing with A Yuan."

"Sister Tian, ​​let me ask you a soul-searching question... Who told you to install so many cameras in the house?"

“The other party must have been telling you that you have a lot of valuables at home, and that you and A Yuan are often not at home, so installing some cameras can deter thieves.”

“You might not care if your things are stolen, since you have more money than you can spend. But if the other party tells you that it doesn’t matter if your things are lost, but if A Yuan’s paintings upstairs are lost, he will be heartbroken.”

"So, you've definitely been persuaded by the other party."

"You might also think that these cameras, besides keeping out thieves, can also keep out other shady women, right?"

Ok?
How did you know?
When Jing Tian heard Xin Yukun's words, her eyelids twitched wildly, and she silently turned her head to glance at Zhao Shanshan.

It's as if asking: Did you tell him that?
Zhao Shanshan remained silent, while Xin Yukun was clearly making veiled accusations!

"Sister Tian Tian, ​​they all think you're a fool."

"I can tell you definitively that if A Yuan wants to have an affair, you'll never find any evidence against him. Because your IQ is only this low."

Xin Yukun showed his little finger to Jing Tian.

"On the contrary, I don't need to emphasize how smart A-Yuan is. If he wanted to deceive you, he could make you a happy fool for the rest of your life."

Jing Tian felt that Xin Yukun was constantly provoking her today.

It's so abnormal.

There must be something wrong here.

At this moment, Xin Yukun turned to look at Zhao Shanshan: "President Zhao, are they very satisfied with the leverage that A Yuan left them?"

"But have you considered... that all A-Yuan needs to do is announce to the public that he and Reba are in a normal relationship?"

"The leverage they have will be worthless."

"After all, in the past few years, the world's media have been frantically reprinting their love story."

"Even... did you see the Weibo posts from a few days ago? An early Tianya user found a special screenshot."

"That was three years ago when A Yuan took Reba to Bulgaria to shoot a photo for 'Upgrade'."

"In front of a church in Bulgaria, under the warm orange sunset, A Yuan was writing and drawing. Reba, with her back to him, showed half of her face and took a selfie. She even posted it: 'We're on our honeymoon.'"

Damn!

Damn it!

Who is it?

Jing Tian, ​​Liu Yifei, and Zhang Tianai all saw this photo. It was assumed that after Dilraba deleted it, there would be no further developments.

Who knew that it would suddenly resurface a few days ago.

It instantly became a viral sensation across the internet.

The rumored romance between super director Lu Zhiyuan and Alita: Battle Angel is so juicy... The whole internet is waiting for the next development!
"Sister Tian, ​​who do you think this mysterious netizen is? So incredibly knowledgeable? No doubt... it's none other than myself."

Xin Yukun readily admitted it.

"you--"

Jing Tian was instantly furious, wishing she could strangle Xin Yukun.

But after calming down, she gritted her teeth and looked at Xin Yukun: "Brother Kun, I think I've treated you well, why did you do this to me?"

Xin Yukun drank a cup of tea, speaking slowly and deliberately, but his demeanor showed that he was in complete control.

He glanced at Jing Tian and said earnestly, "Sister Tian, ​​it's not that I want to mess with you. It's that President Zhao and the people behind her want to mess with us."

"Right now, Dilraba is ready to officially announce her relationship with A Yuan at any time."

"Sister Tian, ​​if it really comes to that, you'll become the other woman."

After Xin Yukun said those words, Jing Tian was completely stunned.

I just went out to film a movie, and when I came back, how did I become a mistress?

Is there no justice in this world?
Also, I couldn't understand a single word of what Brother Kun just said.

"President Zhao, you think you have A Yuan under control. Actually, it's just because A Yuan has genuine feelings for Tian Tian, ​​and he doesn't want Tian Tian to be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position."

"However, you've gone a bit too far."

"Recent events have left us disheartened and speechless... After careful consideration, we have decided to sever all cooperation with Starlight Brilliant!"

"However, this also brought Ah Yuan and Tian Tian's relationship to an end."

"From the perspective of the company's business, we are not at a disadvantage. Starlight Entertainment is not at a disadvantage either, after all, it went public and everyone made a fortune."

"The only one who suffered a loss was Tian Tian."

“She is clearly A Yuan’s official girlfriend, but you are going too far, so we have no choice but to fight back… Under these circumstances, her three-year relationship with A Yuan will probably be wiped out.”

At this point, Xin Yukun suddenly remembered something: "Those people behind you shouldn't even think about getting industry insiders to endorse you."

"Because, under the current circumstances, no one will offend A Yuan."

The movie Interstellar used actors from many other companies, thus binding the interests of many people together.

Although filming for the movie "Project Gutenberg" hasn't started yet, Lu Zhiyuan has already spread the word that he's given New Classics Media a sufficient share, and they can also bring in more people.

Now they are invincible.

If a movie is a box office hit, every company in the industry can make a fortune.

Who would offend the God of Wealth?
"Mr. Zhao, you should know that all the companies in the industry are now hoping that A Yuan will completely break ties with Starlight Brilliant."

"Besides, is it only those with connections who are truly successful? In this industry, who doesn't have connections when they run a company?"

"Those people behind you need to understand one thing: ever since 'The Warring States,' Starlight Entertainment has been blacklisted by almost everyone in the mainland entertainment industry."

"If it weren't for that, the people behind you wouldn't have gone to the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles to find those short mules to help you operate."

"Also, regarding the 'Warring States' incident, Sun Honglei ultimately stepped forward to take the blame. Who do you think he did it for? Starlight Media? Don't be ridiculous!"

"It was A Yuan who called Sun Honglei and used his influence to help Tian Tian regain her dignity."

Xin Yukun is giving it his all today.

I can’t bear it anymore.

What's so great about starlight?
Don't you even bother to find out how bad Starlight's reputation is outside?

If it weren't for Lu Zhiyuan as a fig leaf, which celebrity would be so bored as to collaborate with Starlight Brilliant?
Some people are like frogs in a well, completely ignorant of their own limitations.

Still trying to control them?

I did it before because of Jing Tian.

Now, they're going all out, they don't care anymore!

Who should be worried?

You'll find out soon!

"Brother Kun, what are you saying? I don't understand at all."

Jing Tian was getting a little anxious.

He could tell that Xin Yukun was very angry today and was ready to break off all ties with her.

Lu Zhiyuan had anticipated this, so he left early.

He disliked the scene of the argument and didn't want to see anyone behaving in an undignified manner.

"Sister Shanshan, say something."

Jing Tian grabbed Zhao Shanshan's arm, urging her to say that it wasn't like that.

But Zhao Shanshan knew that was how it was.

She can't distort the truth.

Xin Yukun smiled and put on an invincible air: "Sister Tian, ​​now it's time for you to choose sides. If you want to be a big star and have someone who truly loves you, then stand on my side."

"If you want to help them keep up their old ways and continue doing those shady things, then stand next to Boss Zhao."

Anyone who makes it in the entertainment industry, are they a fool?

After "The Warring States", everyone knew what Starlight Brilliant was up to.

In the mainland entertainment industry, well-known actors know the power of Iron Fist and are unwilling to get involved with it at all.

Only those directors and stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan who are fearless, or rather, unfazed by anything, would collaborate with Starlight Entertainment.

"Brother Kun, aren't we family? Why did we have to make things like this? It's awful. Wouldn't it be better to go back to how things were before?"

Jing Tian finally understood, and her expression changed slightly.

Lu Zhiyuan helped her and Zhao Shanshan secure a way out, but Starlight Brilliant and its shareholders seemed dissatisfied and wanted to leech off Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan took a step back and created a private equity fund, allowing Zhao Shanshan and her associates to join the fund, invest in Netflix, and continue making money.

But some people disagree.

Because not everyone is optimistic about Netflix's model.

They still prefer established, predictable methods.

But Lu Zhiyuan didn't like doing it that way.

So these people tried some underhanded tactics... but Lu Zhiyuan discovered them, which led to the current conversation.

At that moment, Jing Tian felt she had been utterly betrayed.

She was angry, but also helpless.

On one side is her lover, and on the other is her family.

How is she supposed to choose?
This was the most difficult moment of her life.

If she had known that coming back would lead to this situation, she would have been better off not coming back at all.

Seeing Jing Tian remain motionless, Xin Yukun sighed with emotion: "Sister Tian, ​​I understand what you mean. After all, you can find any boyfriend, but family is the most important."

"I respect your choice."

"Besides, A Yuan doesn't know about these things; he's been busy with the movie."

"Only I can do this kind of dirty work. Otherwise, this job can't be done. If he sees you crying, even the hardest heart will soften."

"You must remember, he loves you. I was the one who caused all of this. If you want to hate someone, hate only me."

After saying that, Xin Yukun turned and left.

"Ha ha!"

"That felt great!"

"I've wanted to curse them for ages! A bunch of idiots, utterly clueless!"

After stepping outside, for some reason, Xin Yukun felt a sense of boundless freedom.

From then on, there was no need to be restrained anymore.

There's a big undertaking waiting for them!
The little trouble caused by the dazzling starlight is nothing more than a minor ailment.

……

Not long after leaving, Xin Yukun called Zhang Tianai: "Xiao Ai, go up on Dilraba's Weibo and make it official. Otherwise, they'll still be hoping to find some dirt on A Yuan and force us to collude with them?"

Lu Zhiyuan deliberately gave Jing Tian leverage, hoping to gain a quiet filming environment in return...

However, Xin Yukun received a hint in the next moment.

The other party wanted to increase expenses on props during the filming of "Interstellar." For example, the price of a miniature model would be increased fivefold.

Good guy.

How dare you even ask?
Guo Fan's side encountered prop defects every few days, initially thinking it was because the supplier deliberately used inferior materials.

He also planned to use Lu Zhiyuan's name to intimidate people.

But later, he found that this trick worked for a few days, but then it stopped working.

He checked carefully, pulled up the list of suppliers, and took a look...

Depend on!
The relatives from Zhao Shanshan's hometown came to visit.

What can he do?
They had no choice but to pass this hot potato to Xin Yukun.

……

On the evening of September 30th.

Dilraba Studio is working overtime to prepare for the impending storm!
After midnight, it was May 1st.

On Dilraba's Weibo, she posted a self-portrait, which was painted by Lu Zhiyuan three years ago in the soft mist style of Morimoto Sosuke.

Below this portrait, Reba added the inscription: "I only paint one person in my life."

This is not the point.

The key point is that Dilraba's account tagged Lu Zhiyuan.

This time.

It caused a sensation across the internet.

This is a blatant confession.

Moreover, everyone on the internet knows that before becoming a director, Lu Zhiyuan dreamed of becoming a painter... This portrait, so delicate and masterful, is clearly painted by Lu Zhiyuan for Dilraba.

"what's the situation?"

"I woke up to find the sky had fallen?"

"Alita, the battle angel, falls in love with a failed art student... This must be the last fantasy of an art student before he dies, right?"

"Wait, don't rush to confirm. The person involved hasn't responded yet. It might be fake."

"Fake my foot! Brother Yuan has already responded! Go check it out!"

Weibo staff felt the servers were under immense pressure today, on the verge of crashing. They had no choice but to quickly add more servers to alleviate the load.

They had a feeling that tonight might see a surge in traffic.

"I have spent my whole life chasing light and shadow, but suddenly I discovered that there is someone who is already in my light and shadow."

After posting this message, which resembled a confession, Lu Zhiyuan also posted a quick sketch of Dilraba.

It looks like it took a long time to draw.

The paper is almost yellowed.

"my God!"

"it is true!"

"Yuan Ge and Dilraba have officially announced their relationship!"

"I was watching this online drama, and it gave me diabetes!"

This caused a sensation across the entire internet.

Lu Zhiyuan himself rarely posts anything on Weibo except for movie trailers.

This was the first time he had ever posted such an artistic and literary love quote.

He sent it to his leading lady, who is currently the most popular female celebrity on the internet.

"marry!"

"A perfect match!"

"For the first time, the foreign media has been reliable. Two years ago, I was in Los Angeles and saw your rumors. Today, it's finally confirmed!"

"I don't believe it. It's definitely a publicity stunt! Why would they announce a relationship out of the blue? Unless Dilraba is pregnant! No, I don't believe it! It must be fake."

The entire internet was abuzz, and the news was being shared everywhere.

There were some who cursed, but they were scattered and quickly drowned out by the messages of blessing.

They're a perfect match, what kind of monster are you, daring to jump out and spout nonsense?
Lu Zhiyuan is not some old geezer, but a very handsome and artistic young man, and an internationally renowned director!

Many fans of other female celebrities are saying enviously... Dilraba has married into a wealthy family! No wonder she keeps getting roles in Hollywood blockbusters, turns out she's a director's wife!

Why didn't their mistress have this fate?

However, Dilraba herself is also very outstanding. She is the top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry and has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for the first time.

Apart from that, she is quite low-key and has no other messy affairs. Since her debut, she has always played the leading lady in Lu Zhiyuan's films.

From an outsider's perspective, these two seem like a match made in heaven.

……

"Depend on!"

Weibo is inaccessible!

"Damn it, I want to keep watching... dig up some information about them!"

"There are too many clues to their relationship... Anyone with a keen eye would have noticed it three years ago. What a fool I am, only realizing it now!"

At this time, all sorts of messages were flying around on Weibo, and the number of people watching the drama was explosive.

Many websites have crashed and cannot be opened.

The discussion online is in full swing, and various social media platforms are buzzing with activity.

Most people believe that these two are serious.

Because they didn't suddenly get together; there were many signs beforehand.

However, some people remain stubbornly defiant, refusing to admit it. Perhaps these two are playing some kind of truth or dare game.

After losing the game, he teased netizens on Weibo.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei stepped in at this moment, providing an excellent assist and delivering a heavy blow to these doubters.

"Hey, you two, that's enough! I treated you to dinner at the cruise ship restaurant in Los Angeles. I still remember when someone drew a bull's head for me and a cybernetic empress for the girl across from me... I hold grudges. Humph!"

Liu Yifei suddenly stepped forward to confirm the relationship between the two for netizens.

In that instant, all doubts vanished without a trace.

……

At Lu Zhiyuan's home.

Jing Tian was left alone in her empty room, her face constantly wet with tears.

She didn't know what she had done wrong, or how things had turned out this way.

She went from being the enviable Miss T to a toad spirit who jumped out from some unknown mountain, envying and jealous of this perfect couple.

If it weren't for the unusually cold bed tonight, she would have even doubted that she was dreaming.

Even now, she still can't believe... that she's been dumped?

“Maybe there are people on the Xi’an city wall who swore an oath of no distinction.”

“Maybe I have to go to Dali to be considered serious in love.”

"Maybe no one said they would accompany you and walk hand in hand through life."

"You might laugh through your tears someday, at some hour."

Just then, Jing Tian's phone rang.

It's a ringtone made from her own singing.

In the past, when she listened to her music, she felt that she was the next Fish Leong.

That was a wonderful performance.

It sounds so beautiful.

But today, she felt the song was so heart-wrenching that it inexplicably brought tears to her eyes, and she even started to wail.

The phone rang several times, but she didn't want to answer it.

Unable to bear it any longer, Jing Tian finally answered the phone, her first words being a threat: "Brother Kun, do you want to die? Just say the word and I'll have someone kill you tomorrow."

Xin Yukun calmly asked, "Sister Tiantian, let me interview you. How are you feeling right now?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian was so angry she nearly exploded on the spot.

You still dare to ask me this question?
You're so arrogant!

At this moment, Jing Tian gripped the phone tightly with her right hand, making a cracking sound, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill Zhao Shanshan too. I'm going to kill all of you!"

In the movies Jing Tian starred in before, people often criticized her acting skills online, saying that she had no emotions and was too empty.

She always plays the same naive and innocent character, no matter what role she plays.

Because she had no idea of ​​the bitterness of life, the pain of love, the meaning of regret, or the experience of being hurt.

Now, she seemed to understand everything in an instant.

It's a feeling of utter despair, a pain that makes you want to destroy the whole world and kill everyone.

At this moment, all she wanted was to take indiscriminate revenge on everyone.

“Sister Tian Tian, ​​if I told you that everything you see on Weibo was posted by me, A Yuan would have no idea. He should be working overtime at the company right now.”

"Does that make you feel any better?"

"As for Liu Yifei, I also asked her for help. I promised her that I would strongly recommend her for the other female lead role in 'Project Gutenberg'."

what?
Did you cause all of this?
I told you so.

How could Ah Yuan hurt me like this?

How could he bear to part with it?

So it was all your doing.

You wait, I'll have someone kill you tomorrow!

If I keep you around, who knows how much trouble you'll cause me!

Jing Tian cried and then burst into laughter. "Damn Kun, I'll find you a few big wolfhounds tomorrow and they'll bite you to death!"
"Although I posted this content, the whole internet knows that A Yuan and Dilraba have officially announced their relationship. They are now a legitimate couple."

"Even if we live together, no one will say anything."

"But, Sister Tian Tian, ​​you're in an awkward situation right now."

“I reminded you before that you should be open and aboveboard in your relationships and take the initiative. But you didn’t listen. You wanted to be a big star and were afraid of affecting your popularity.”

"Now, what are you going to do?"

From now on, Dilraba is no longer a mistress, but in the eyes of netizens, Lu Zhiyuan's open and aboveboard girlfriend.

As for Jing Tian... hasn't she always been single?
In online interviews, she consistently claimed that she was single.

I want to find a boyfriend who isn't too handsome, too artistic, or too smart, but is healthy and enjoys outdoor sports.

Based on her description, she was describing the complete opposite of Lu Zhiyuan.

Even if she were to come forward now and claim that Lu Zhiyuan is her boyfriend... netizens would not believe it, and might even think that she is just joking and trying to gain attention.

"Brother Kun, how much did Dilraba give you in benefits?"

"You went to great lengths to make her the official wife, and me the mistress?"

Jing Tian was so angry she almost laughed.

How can the world be so distorted?

Really convinced.

However, she wasn't particularly sad anymore.

After all, it was all a farce.

Behind the dazzling starlight, those who wanted to control Lu Zhiyuan, and Lu Zhiyuan went along with it, handing over a handle to use against him.

However, thinking they had Lu Zhiyuan's weakness, they didn't restrain themselves at all, but instead became increasingly outrageous.

Xin Yukun, no longer wanting to play along, launched a counterattack.

They even helped Dilraba rise to fame, making her Lu Zhiyuan's girlfriend in front of the entire internet!
Now, the leverage is gone.

Those people were dumbfounded!

However, the price was... Jing Tian's boyfriend became Dilraba's.

The thought of this made Jing Tian furious.

"Sister Tian, ​​I should be the one asking you that... Now that things have come to this, do you want to go back to being single, or do you want to become our sister-in-law again?"

"If it's the former, then our conversation can end here."

"If it's the latter... you should seriously consider what price you can offer to get all of us back on your side?"

"Sigh... After the official announcement, Dilraba acted like Aladdin's lamp in the group late at night, letting us make any wish. I said that I would look really cool driving a sports car, and she told me to go and choose one myself tomorrow."

"I suddenly feel that Dilraba being the eldest sister-in-law isn't so bad after all!"

Ha ha!

Miss Jing Tian, ​​regain your wealth and power!
By the way, let me show you what it means to enjoy mistreating your husband for a while, but end up in a nightmare trying to win him back!
