The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 321 The Year's Box Office Number One! After the celebration banquet, a certain famous director was arrested!
……

9 month 8 number.

The box office for the movie "Godzilla: Monarch" has almost plummeted, with only a little over 300 million yuan left each day.

However, it is no longer important.

Because, as of today, this movie has grossed 30 billion yuan in China in 58 days, which is close to 5 million US dollars!
With a box office of $5 million, this film is also the world's largest single source of box office revenue!

The second highest box office revenue came from North America, at only $2.4 million.

The box office in China doubled that in North America!

Such box office success caused a sensation around the world!

After two months of accumulation, the total box office of "Godzilla: Monarch" has finally surpassed 12 billion US dollars... surpassing the 11.25 billion US dollars of "Transformers 4"!

It became the highest-grossing film of the year!

In addition, this movie will most likely surpass "Real Steel 2: Pacific Rim" at the box office, becoming the second highest-grossing film among all of Lu Zhiyuan's movies!
In an instant, Lu Zhiyuan once again dominated the trending topics on Weibo!
"Godzilla: Monarch surpasses Transformers 4 at the box office, and Yuan Ge, with his role as Dr. Li, is very likely to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar next year!"

The character of Dr. Li actually doesn't have many scenes in the movie.

However, Lu Zhiyuan habitually uses villains as the main plot.

Therefore, after watching this movie, the audience has no memory of what plot the male lead, Tom Hiddleston, actually acted in.
They remembered that Dr. Li had been working on his "Emperor Project" from beginning to end, for more than a decade, from the Philippines to Britain, to Japan, to the United States, to Mexico... He died without regret.

This kind of unwavering spirit is so intense it's terrifying!
It's also very impressive!
However, Tom Hiddleston's highlight moments are mainly in the final climax, but he has the most screen time, so he is, of course, the male lead.

Although Lu Zhiyuan carries the entire plot, his screen time is actually not much; he probably has less than 200 shots from beginning to end.

However, his performance was absolutely phenomenal!
They used those cold yet rational words to describe the most insane plans in the world.

Every time Dr. Li appears, even viewers who are about to have diarrhea manage to hold it in and have to watch Dr. Li's segment before rushing to the toilet!

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan, on once again taking the top spot in the global annual box office!"

"This victory was far too easy!"

"Looking back, the annual battle between 'Perseus' and 'The Avengers' was a clash of titans, with two blockbuster films vying for $16 billion at the box office, attracting countless movie fans worldwide. Thinking about it now, it's truly exhilarating!"

"I admit that Transformers 4 did very well at the box office, but the plot was just too weak. After watching it, I don't even remember what the movie was about. All I remember is Optimus Prime blowing things up!"

"When will Brother Yuan be able to encounter another equally matched opponent like the Avengers?"

"Let me say something on behalf of Brother Yuan... The higher you climb, the colder it gets; life is truly as lonely as snow!"

"I heard that the 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' project is adapted from the tomb raiding novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'... I can bet that if someone else were to make it, it would most likely be a bad movie, but if Brother Yuan makes it, at least the special effects are guaranteed!"

"I've already started to imagine what magnificent wonders the [Ancient City of Jingjue], the [Dragon Ridge Caves], and the [Kunlun Divine Palace] will become?"

"Wait, did the people upstairs forget about the [Weasel Grave]?"

This question has generated a lot of questions.

A kind person pointed out, "Brother, I suggest you take a look at the project proposal released by Yuankun Media. It doesn't mention 'Huangpizi Tomb' at all. Obviously, this part has been skipped!"

"After all, the movie is only 120 minutes long, so the content definitely needs to be selected. I'm already very satisfied with the three amazing scenes!"

The first four volumes of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" include the volume "The Yellow Weasel's Grave," which is basically a flashback and has little to do with the main plot.

It's normal for it to be deleted!

……

After Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan reached an agreement.

A few days later, Gao Yuanyuan moved in and lived with Lu Zhiyuan.

Although the privacy measures at Dongshan Apartment are quite good, as it's a high-rise building, you're bound to run into your neighbors when you're in the elevator!
Given enough time, Gao Yuanyuan's pregnancy would inevitably become a secret.

The situation is different here at Dongshan Villa!

It's a secluded house, completely undisturbed.

Gao Yuanyuan can sunbathe without even leaving the house, because her yard is quite large.

If Gao Yuanyuan wants to buy something, she doesn't even need to ask; Lu Zhiyuan's mother will take care of it immediately!

Given Gao Yuanyuan's homebody nature, she could stay at home for a year without going out!

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuanyuan, which is also your lunar birthday. This is the first time our family has celebrated the festival together. I hope we can be together every year in the future."

Gao Yuanyuan was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival, what an auspicious day!
Therefore, she basically doesn't celebrate her birthday according to the Gregorian calendar, but instead waits until the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate it!

Previously, Lu Zhiyuan had promised Dilraba that he would accompany her back to her hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival... However, Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan had reached an agreement to have Gao Yuanyuan's child registered under Dilraba's name!

Then, after Dilraba became pregnant... she entrusted the child to her good friend Gao Yuanyuan for care.

Over time, the child became attached to Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan also treats the child as her own, and they have a very good relationship. The child is very close to Gao Yuanyuan and even doesn't want Dilraba as his biological mother anymore.

In any case, they are just looking for a suitable reason to give the public an explanation.

However, Lu Zhiyuan was quite surprised to see that Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan got along so well without any conflict.

Happy birthday, Yuanyuan!

Dilraba bought Gao Yuanyuan a very delicious jasmine grape cake and cut a big slice for her.

Lu Zhiyuan's mother checked the sugar content of the cake and quietly said to Gao Yuanyuan, "Don't eat too much, it's easy to develop gestational diabetes!"

Lu's mother has always been very concerned about health and wellness, and now she is just casually paying attention to the pregnant woman's physical condition.

"Mom, I'll just have one bite."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan almost pleaded.

She wasn't afraid of Lu Zhiyuan because he was very easy to talk to when he wasn't working... Now, she was really afraid of Lu Zhiyuan's mother!
Gao Yuanyuan could even understand why Lu Zhiyuan was so silent every day.

Because he figured he couldn't win against his mother when it came to reasoning, he figured it was better to remain silent than to humiliate himself.

"Mom, Yuanyuan can't eat this, save it for me."

Dilraba laughed and snatched a piece of cake from Gao Yuanyuan's hand.

Mom glanced at Dilraba and said in an annoyed tone, "You're like a little kid, always so greedy. Keep eating, or you'll turn into Fatty Dilraba!"

Dilraba didn't say anything, but pouted, stared at Lu Zhiyuan with her big eyes, and said pitifully, "Honey, I want to eat."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, letting them discuss it themselves!

He went outside to make a phone call: "Honey, where are you? Why didn't you come over for dinner?"

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hanikezi was still studying at school when Lu Zhiyuan invited his beloved apprentice to his home for dinner.

Otherwise, Hanikezi would be all alone, which is quite pitiful.

"Teacher, guess!"

What else could be happening to Hanikezi?
When she went out, she ran into Jing Tian and was immediately taken away!
"I understand. Eat more, I'll come pick you up later."

Lu Zhiyuan immediately guessed what it was.

……

Moon Festival.

Jing Tian didn't go back to her hometown either, because at this critical juncture, she had no intention of going home.

Going home won't change anything.

She had to stay here day and night to prevent any further mishaps at Lu Zhiyuan's place!
"Honey, order whatever you want to eat, don't be shy."

Jing Tian took Hanikezi to a restaurant owned by herself, where the two of them were the only customers!
Rich women can be so capricious!
During holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival, while other restaurants are packed with customers, her place is deserted; she'd rather not make any money!
"Thank you, Master."

Hanikezi didn't stand on ceremony with Jing Tian and ordered some of her favorite dishes. Then, after thinking for a moment, she ordered some desserts to take back to school and share with her roommates.

"Honey, I've asked you to come here today because I have two favors to ask you for."

Jing Tian was quite happy to see that Hanikezi wasn't being polite to her. She felt that she had been so good to Hanikezi in the past, and this little girl still remembered their old friendship.

She didn't stand on ceremony and got straight to the point.

"Teacher's wife, just tell me. As long as I'm not allowed to betray our teacher, I'll definitely help you with everything else."

While eating, Hanikezi took a few photos to report to Lu Zhiyuan.

"The first thing is that the 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' project will be going out to scout locations in a few days. According to your teacher's habits, we will be filming on location in the Gobi Desert, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands."

"These places are mostly remote and have extremely harsh natural conditions."

“His health has never been good, and Reba used to accompany him. Now that Reba has decided to get pregnant, it's naturally not appropriate for her to go hiking with him. This responsibility should be taken over by you.”

Jing Tian looked at Hanikezi intently!

Upon hearing this, Hanikezi couldn't even hold onto the meat with his chopsticks and stared blankly at the sky.

what's going on?
Am I being ordered to pick up girls?
No, I have obtained the master's wife's permission to accompany my teacher in the mortal world, to the ends of the earth.
"What, you don't want to go?"

Seeing Hanikezi staring blankly, Jing Tian frowned slightly.

"No, no, no, I'll go back and pack my clothes right away! Don't worry, Master's wife, although I'm petite, I'm very healthy and strong!"

Hanikezi used to envy Reba, who could travel the world with Lu Zhiyuan.

Now, her chance has finally come.

She was overjoyed; how could she possibly refuse?

"besides."

Jing Tian nodded slightly and continued, "After the celebration party for the movie 'Godzilla' ends in a couple of days, Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan will go to the United States to prepare for their pregnancies and avoid being noticed by others."

"I will go with her to take care of Sister Yuanyuan. At the same time, I will help keep the news under wraps and contact the hospital. This is a way of preparing for the future and accumulating some experience."

Jing Tian calculated the time.

Gao Yuanyuan got pregnant in mid-July, and her due date is around the end of April!
By then, the post-production of the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend" will be almost finished, and Lu Zhiyuan will go to Los Angeles to hold a test screening of the film.

The timing is perfect!

They held a movie screening while waiting for the baby to be born.

Therefore, Jing Tian is also planning to stop working in the second half of the year and go to Los Angeles to study!

In another timeline, Jing Tian did indeed go to the United States for a period of time to study in order to film her next Hollywood blockbuster. However, in this timeline, what's the point of her studying?

The director is Lu Zhiyuan!

She may not understand other people's shooting styles, but she knows Lu Zhiyuan's shooting style inside and out.

She could direct Lu Zhiyuan's movies with her eyes closed!
Because Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't have high expectations of her; all he needed was for her to sit there dressed in the elegant and luxurious Queen Mother of the West costume.

She faced the audience sideways, her eyelids lowered, revealing only half her face. Behind her were snow-capped mountains looming in the distance, and rolling clouds.

No lines need to be spoken.

You don't need to make any facial expressions.

Lu Zhiyuan would naturally instruct the cameraman to capture her magnificent demeanor and extraordinary bearing as the Queen Mother of the West, the "Queen of All Immortals"!
Playing the female lead in Lu Zhiyuan's movie is so easy!

The only challenge is how to get Lu Zhiyuan to willingly make her the leading lady.

"Teacher's wife, did you tell your teacher you were going to Los Angeles?"

Hanikezi was startled.

Could Jing Tian be plotting against her junior brother?
If that's the case, she won't eat this meal; she'll report Jing Tian!
Jing Tian said calmly, "I told him. But he didn't reply. Honey, you know him. If he doesn't object, it means he agrees."

"That's all I have to say."

Hanikezi breathed a sigh of relief.

How could Lu Zhiyuan possibly answer such a question?

Having agreed, Jing Tian didn't need to overthink it; she felt she still had a chance.

Lu Zhiyuan disagrees? It's no use! Jing Tian has her own feet; if she wants to go to Los Angeles for a few months, can Lu Zhiyuan stop her?

"The second thing I want to say is... you absolutely have to keep a close eye on Nazha, the female lead! Don't think I don't know, Nazha was specially brought in by Brother Kun as a backup for that deadbeat!"

At this point, Jing Tian glanced at Hanikezi: "Nazha is a bit stupid, I don't like her. Moreover, not only is she stupid, she also likes to be smug, which makes her even more annoying."

"Ah."

Hanikezi nodded, agreeing, and said, "Sister Nazha is indeed a bit silly. She does like to be smug and always thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world."

There's no problem with that.

Naza is indeed quite beautiful, and she has the right to be vain!
But, of all the times, she shouldn't have... called me a traitor a few days ago!!

Am I a traitor?

My loyalty belongs only to my teacher!

I must let her know who the teacher's darling is!
"Honey, your teacher's wife didn't spoil you for nothing!"

Jing Tian smiled and gently touched Hanikezi's face, then gave her a card: "Hani, this is a special membership card for the restaurant. From now on, you can come and eat for free with this card!"

This restaurant is located near the Beijing Dance Academy!
If Hanikezi likes, he can come here every day and have the whole place to eat.

“Master’s wife, I thought you were going to give this restaurant to me.”

Hanikezi couldn't help but smile.

Gao Yuanyuan gave her a sports car directly.

However, she didn't want to drive, so she declined.

If she gets a sports car, she won't be able to ask Lu Zhiyuan to pick her up in the future.

"I'll give you the restaurant, but you don't know how to run it. If it loses money, that bastard will definitely blame me."

Jing Tian offered an explanation.

It's not that she's stingy!
The main problem is that restaurants aren't like banks, where you can always make a profit. If they're not managed well, the losses can be huge!

"Master's wife, you've become more and more gentle and considerate."

Hanikezi was immediately impressed by Jing Tian, ​​not expecting her to be so thoughtful and considerate.

If she had been this careful back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Do you think he would like me like this?

Jing Tian didn't trust any of the other women, feeling that they were all rivals to her becoming Mrs. Lu again.

However, she had no suspicion of Hanikezi.

After all, in a sense, this girl was raised by Lu Zhiyuan.

"definitely!"

"Teachers like dance students who are gentle and considerate, speak softly, don't cause trouble, don't swear when arguing, and are willing to tolerate their minor flaws!"

Women and men often have very different understandings of a single sentence.

Most men will focus on the specific details mentioned before the sentence, such as gentleness and consideration, soft voice, and dislike of arguing.

But women are not!
Their focus is often on the last sentence.

For Jing Tian, ​​the real key point in Hanikezi's words was the phrase "dance student"!
"No wonder that bastard spoils you so much! Among all these people, you dance the best, definitely at the national team level!"

Jing Tian looked at Hanikezi thoughtfully.

She was expelled from the Beijing Dance Academy; her dancing skills were only average.

However, Hanikezi is different; in the Beijing Dance Academy, she stands in the very center of the second row!
This is the real center position!
In most dance groups, the person in the center of the second or third row is usually the one who brings the most strength to the group, especially the person in the center of the second row!
They must be someone whose looks, figure, skills, and stage presence are all flawless!

He is the soul of the entire group!
"hey-hey."

Hanikezi was flattered by Jing Tian's compliments. Her greatest strength was her excellent dancing skills.

"Eat more so you can grow taller."

"Both Dilraba and Gulnazar have impressive figures over 1.7 meters tall. When they walk the red carpet, their long legs are so eye-catching that it's hard to look away."

"You're only a little over 1.5 meters tall. If you want to be a big star and outshine them on the red carpet, you still have a lot of work to do!"

Jing Tian's words were so awful that Hanikezi was so angry that he couldn't eat anymore!

Who are you saying is only a little over 1.5 meters tall?
I'm clearly 1.62 meters tall!

……

After the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On September 13th, Lu Zhiyuan specially chose a Saturday to hold a celebration banquet for the movie "Godzilla: Monarch"!
Box office surpasses 12 billion US dollars!
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this film will once again become the highest-grossing film of the year!
Both logically and emotionally, a celebration banquet should be held.

……

Rosewood Hotel.

Lu Zhiyuan took Reba out in full regalia.

In addition, Zhang Ruonan, the female lead, is naturally indispensable.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhiyuan already has Dilraba Dilmurat by his side, so Zhang Ruonan, the film's leading lady, can only follow Xin Yukun around like a doorman.

"Brother Yuan, look at me, just once. I'm your leading lady! Together we raked in $12 billion at the box office, causing a sensation worldwide! I'm not just some random extra!"

Zhang Ruonan stood outside to greet the guests, but her gaze kept drifting towards Lu Zhiyuan beside her.

She didn't ask to stand by Lu Zhiyuan's side, she only asked for a little bit of attention from him!

I don't know what happened...

Since becoming a big star, Zhang Ruonan's initial slight affection for Lu Zhiyuan has taken root and sprouted, like a seed planted in the soil.

Furthermore, as box office revenue continues to rise, this seed is also growing stronger, and in the last few days, it has even blossomed.

This flower is so fragrant!

Every night, Zhang Ruonan was haunted by Lu Zhiyuan's image, wishing she could stick a picture of him on the pillow she was holding.

There seems to be a saying that goes something like this: a woman always fills a man's refrigerator. The first thing a woman takes care of for a man isn't his wardrobe, but his refrigerator!

Zhang Ruonan silently vowed that next time she would find an opportunity to fill Lu Zhiyuan's refrigerator with coconut water, so that he would understand her intentions!
……

"Uncle Chen, Sister Hong, welcome."

Chen Kaige and his wife arrived very early this time as well.

Before Lu Zhiyuan could speak, Reba went up to greet him warmly.

"Watch your step, don't walk so fast."

Chen Hong immediately grabbed Reba's hand, helped her to the side, and whispered a few words: "Reba, how long has it been?"

Dilraba calculated Gao Yuanyuan's timeline and then replied with a smile, "Eight weeks."

"What does it feel like?"

Chen Hong asked with a smile, feeling happy for Dilraba!
A woman is invincible once she gets pregnant!

No matter how unfaithful a man is, his conscience will instantly resurface once a woman gets pregnant with his child.

Needless to say, Lu Zhiyuan has always been very respectable!

Even though he broke up with Jing Tian so long ago, Jing Tian still can't get enough of him!
If a man has an affair and breaks up with his ex-wife, it's already considered good-natured if the woman doesn't hate him so much that she wants to kill his entire family.

Jing Tian didn't hate Lu Zhiyuan at all. Whenever she found an opportunity, she would take the initiative to meet with Lu Zhiyuan and chat for a few minutes.

The main goal is to make a name for oneself!
It can only be said that Lu Zhiyuan must have some merits that outsiders don't know about, which makes Jing Tian unable to forget him.

"Apart from my foot hurting a little, everything else is fine. I see other people feeling nauseous, but I'm not really bothered by it."

Dilraba herself was not pregnant and had no symptoms; she was only talking about Gao Yuanyuan's personal experience.

Chen Hong nodded, not thinking much of it: "It's like this for the first two months. It'll get better after a while."

After a while, she hesitated before asking again, "I heard that Gao Yuanyuan's side..."

Speaking of this, Dilraba deliberately showed a hint of displeasure and said indifferently, "It's all like that now. There's nothing I can do. As long as he's willing to come home, I'll pretend I don't know anything. Now that I have a child, I can't be bothered with him anymore. Aren't all men like that?"

Chen Hong gave a thumbs up: "Now that you're pregnant, you really need to think more positively. Otherwise, you'll be driven crazy by those men sooner or later!"

"It's infuriating! Imagine those wild women sleeping in our beds, sleeping with our husbands, and beating our children. Just thinking about it makes me so angry I could crawl out of my coffin!"

Hearing this, Dilraba smiled, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

She brought this situation upon herself.

She didn't blame Lu Zhiyuan.

As for breaking up with Lu Zhiyuan? That's utter nonsense.

Dilraba felt that all that money and those movies were made with Lu Zhiyuan's help, bit by bit. She would never let any other woman benefit from them!

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan had run out of tricks up her sleeve.

Because I acted early and snatched the baby from Gao Yuanyuan's belly first!
Otherwise, Gao Yuanyuan, relying on her son, might force the emperor to step down... and end up losing both her money and her life.
……

"Xiao Lu, you're amazing!"

"The box office has once again surpassed 10 billion US dollars, this is the 3rd one already!"

Chen Kaige particularly admired Lu Zhiyuan.

Both Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Zhiyuan are art-house film directors who transitioned to commercial blockbusters, but how come Lu Zhiyuan is so good at it? Especially the special effects, they really get him excited!

The character of Dr. Li is incredibly charismatic.

As an intellectual, someone like Dr. Li, with the power to overturn the entire world order and even reshape myths and legends... is truly something to aspire to!
"I never imagined that a monster movie like Godzilla could be made to this extent by you!"

When Chen Kaige learned that Lu Zhiyuan had obtained the license for the "Godzilla" IP, he wondered what kind of movie Lu Zhiyuan would make.
In his mind, he helped Lu Zhiyuan come up with three versions!
However, when Lu Zhiyuan's version was released, he realized that the version Lu Zhiyuan made was completely different from what he had imagined.

That's incredibly disruptive!

The character of Dr. Li stole all the spotlight!

What's most amazing is that the character of Dr. Li is a perfect match for Lu Zhiyuan's own temperament.

If the Oscar judges aren't blind, Lu Zhiyuan will most likely win the Best Supporting Actor award next year!
However, it’s hard to say.

Visual blockbusters like Godzilla are now finding it difficult to win major awards.

However, getting a nomination is definitely not a problem!

"By the way, Xiao Lu, why have you started growing a beard? When you came over just now, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."

Lu Zhiyuan was always very clean and had a neat appearance.

When Chen Kaige first saw it, he realized that Lu Zhiyuan had deliberately not shaved, probably for more than a month.

It looks a little strange.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and explained, "The male lead for the 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' project needs to be a dashing and unruly outlaw. Growing a beard will make me look a bit more weathered."

"Besides that, in a few days, I'll travel all over the country, exposed to the wind and sun for a while. I reckon I'll develop a kind of wanderer's temperament!"

The character Hu Bayi has explored many places.

Lu Zhiyuan has also been to many places and done many things that only desperate criminals would do, almost driving himself to his death.

He felt that he could play the role well!

After all, Chen Kun, the male lead of the original "Mojin: The Lost Legend," also acted in art films when he first debuted, and he had the air of a pretty boy.

However, Chen Kun's performance in "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was quite good!

He has the carefree spirit of a wanderer and the tenacity of a tough guy!

Before playing this role, Lu Zhiyuan played the role of "Dr. Li"... From the perspective of individual heroism, this role was a game-changer for Hu Bayi!
If he plays the role of Hu Bayi, with suitable makeup and styling, the audience shouldn't feel out of place!
"Xiao Lu, sometimes I really envy you. You have the same boundless energy as A Mou!"

When a director is making a film, their work is extremely busy and stressful. The main task is coordinating everyone on the crew.

In addition, they also have to bear the expectations of investors and the hopes of the market.

Any minor flaw, once it's on the big screen, will be scrutinized by thousands of people.

People with poor mental fortitude will be criticized to the point of being diagnosed with depression!
However, if the director's image is suitable and they are willing to act and give it a try... most directors are better actors than the average actor!

After all, these scenes had already been imagined hundreds of times in the director's mind before filming even began!

The director, of course, understands best what kind of performance the male lead needs to meet the film's requirements.
Of course, most directors are too old to have the energy to do two things at once!
Now, only Lu Zhiyuan does it this way.

Besides Lu Zhiyuan, Xu Guangtou is another one.

However, Xu Guangtou is making a drama film, which is completely different from the artistic requirements of making a special effects blockbuster.

To find the right lighting and shadow effects in Lu Zhiyuan's movies, one would probably have to rack their brains for a long time.

Chen Kaige is also from this school of thought, and he knows that achieving the same effect as Lu Zhiyuan is extremely difficult.

……

The two renowned directors chatted for a while at the entrance.

Just then, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei arrived together.

What's even more baffling is that both of them were sitting in the van, and neither was willing to get out first.

It's as if whoever gets off the bus first loses a level.

Seeing this situation, Xin Yukun, as the head steward, had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

Otherwise, with those two cars blocking the entrance, the guests who arrived later wouldn't be able to get in at all.

"Shishi, give Brother Yuan some face. Don't lower yourself to the level of that little punk over there."

Xin Yukun went to find Liu Shishi first.

After all, her relationship with Liu Shishi was much better than that with Liu Yifei.

"Brother Kun, I'm sorry. I didn't want to do this either. She hired someone to write a press release saying I'm both blind and pretentious; otherwise, I would have been the wife of a famous director long ago!"

As Liu Shishi spoke, she showed Xin Yukun a gossip article from the internet.

The insidious aspect of this article is that, following Dilraba's "pregnancy," the author dragged out all the female celebrities with whom Lu Zhiyuan had had relationships and marketed them all.

The first one is Liu Shishi!
The article was written as if it were firsthand, saying that Liu Shishi and Lu Zhiyuan developed feelings for each other while filming in the countryside.

On Valentine's Day, Liu Shishi gave Lu Zhiyuan a Canon lens. To this day, Lu Zhiyuan hasn't thrown it away; he still keeps it in his collection cabinet.

Moreover, it was placed in a very conspicuous location.

The author of the article also analyzed that if Liu Shishi hadn't been so aloof and had taken the initiative, she might be the wife of a famous director today!
Then, the author of this article went on to list all the "blinding" actions Liu Shishi took while filming, finding them one by one from her debut works and taking screenshots!

Then, the author went on to boast that Lu Zhiyuan's brilliant use of Liu Shishi's "blindness" in the movie made her the pinnacle of human intelligence, "Miss Raven"!
At first glance, one might think this article is simply a list of female celebrities with whom Lu Zhiyuan had ambiguous relationships.

However, as the protagonist who was maliciously criticized, Liu Shishi could tell at a glance that someone was deliberately trying to put her down!
If we crush her, we can naturally seize her resources!

She has many rivals in the entertainment industry... but there's only one person who would directly benefit from crushing her!
That’s Liu Yifei!
If that article hadn't mentioned that she could become the wife of a famous director, Liu Shishi would have pretended not to see it.

But the other party keeps bringing it up, isn't that like whipping her corpse?

She was absolutely furious!
After all, she really regretted not making a move sooner.

On the day she gave Lu Zhiyuan the Canon lens, if she had kissed him directly and told him that she wanted to be his girlfriend.

Even if Lu Zhiyuan doesn't agree immediately, he'll still treat her as a substitute!

Once Lu Zhiyuan breaks up with Jing Tian, ​​the person standing next to him now will definitely be me!
Hey!
Canon!

He was given a golden opportunity, but he failed to seize it.

In particular, he learned that the lens he had given to Lu Zhiyuan had been kept in a collection cabinet.

Liu Shishi felt even more distressed.

"Shishi, I originally wanted to tell you later. But given the current situation, I have no choice but to tell you in advance."

"In the 'Great Wall' project, Brother Yuan designed a female assassin in red for you to assassinate King Mu of Zhou."

"This fight scene will be at the beginning and will be outstanding. The beautiful sword dance, like a fire spirit, was specially designed for you, combining your physique and dance style!"

"Brother Yuan's movies always like to make a strong first impression. And this time, you've been his winning start!"

Xin Yukun knew what Liu Shishi wanted.

Actually, even without Liu Shishi specifically mentioning it, Lu Zhiyuan had already prepared it for her.

How could he forget Liu Shishi on such a big project?
If she can't be the leading lady, then let her dance captivate the world!

Miss Raven has given up scientific research and transformed into a highly skilled assassin in a mythological epic, tasked with assassinating the Zhou emperor!
Swords flash like shooting stars!

With one step, her crimson dance skirt billowed in the air like flames!
In that instant, the crisscrossing sword energy, the slow-motion close-up of Liu Shishi's figure floating in the air, the ultra-wide-angle view of the enormous palace, and the stunned expressions of countless people... it was definitely a memorable scene!
This is the unique charm of Eastern culture!
Just by imagining it in her mind, Liu Shishi felt that just having such a scene would make her absolutely stunned!
She thought for a moment, then whispered, "Brother Kun, Gao Yuanyuan and Dilraba are both pregnant now. He's away filming, and he needs someone to take care of him. I'll be very free right now!"

"do you understand me?"

I know!

But I can't agree to that!

"Shishi, let's get off the bus first. Everyone's watching."

Xin Yukun couldn't help but reach out, wanting to lead Liu Shishi out of the car and become her head steward.

"Go aside!"

Liu Shishi slapped Xin Yukun's hand away in annoyance and stepped out of the car.

She was slender and graceful, but walked with an air of confidence and dynamism as she approached Lu Zhiyuan.

Liu Shishi nodded to Lu Zhiyuan, then walked to Reba's side and said with a smile, "Reba, congratulations. I originally wanted to visit you at your home, but I was afraid of bothering you."

The main concern was that if they were under the same roof, they might run into Gao Yuanyuan, who was also heavily pregnant... Liu Shishi felt that she couldn't handle such a complicated situation!
"Senior Sister, let's go inside and talk."

Dilraba smiled on the surface, but inwardly she sneered, "Another one trying to seduce my husband and steal him away while I'm pregnant!"

Did you think that because I'm pregnant, you could take advantage of me?
I was faking my pregnancy! You didn't expect that, did you?

……

Liu Shishi got off the bus first.

Liu Yifei no longer needs to hold it in.

She was about to get off the bus, but then she remembered something and forced herself to stay put.

Upon seeing this, Xin Yukun immediately walked over: "Sister Fei, what's wrong?"

Why aren't you getting off the bus!
Two minutes later, Mr. Wang from Huayi Brothers arrived. If he sees you blocking the way here, he'll give you a good scolding.

Liu Yifei hesitated and said, "Brother Kun, these are custom-made shoes. Without a wool carpet, I dare not step on them. I'm afraid I'll damage them."

"Okay! I'll have someone lay out a carpet for you."

Xin Yukun used to think Liu Yifei was a nice person, but now he realizes she's a real pain in the neck!

Even Princess Jing isn't as pretentious as you!
"Someone, someone... go inside and get a few carpets!"

There was a carpet at the entrance of the Rosewood Hotel, but it wasn't laid out to the area where people got out of the car, since it wasn't a real red carpet event today.

However, some people, in their vanity, inadvertently act like divas!

"What are you dawdling about?"

Just then, Jing Tian's car drove in and stopped right behind them, and she got out of the car immediately.

She glanced at her own haute couture shoes, then at Liu Yifei in the distance, hesitantly stepping onto the wool carpet.

She could tell at a glance that the shoes Liu Yifei was wearing probably cost 200 million!
It's ridiculously expensive.

but--

"It's just a pair of worn-out shoes, what's there to be reluctant about?"

Even if it gets damaged, I'll keep buying more!
Small amount!

My deadbeat left me billions!

The interest alone amounts to hundreds of millions a year, and the minimum daily income is over 30!

Jing Tian, ​​wearing custom-made shoes, arrived at Lu Zhiyuan's side first and greeted him with a smile: "You're going to be a father soon, are you in a good mood? Congratulations!"

"Thank you. Please come in."

Lu Zhiyuan called Hanikezi over: "Take Tiantian to get some of her favorite drinks. I specially prepared different flavors of mango juice."

Hearing this, Jing Tian didn't say anything, but a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

I'm in a super good mood!
Sure enough, that bastard only responds to gentle persuasion, not force.

Going against him won't do you any good. If you just go along with him, even if you can't be husband and wife, you can still be friends or lovers for life.

"Master's wife, you're becoming more and more gentle and unpretentious. The way you walked in wearing haute couture just now was absolutely captivating!"

Hanikezi didn't really like Liu Yifei to begin with, thinking that she was incredibly pretentious, with a completely empty head but insisting on thinking she was an artist.

She's barely read any books, yet she's always wallowing in self-pity and acting like a pretentious artsy girl!

The funniest thing was... I ran into Hanikezi and Harrison Ford in Los Angeles once, and they were chatting.

When Mr. Ford learned that Liu Yifei and Lu Zhiyuan were friends, he made a special trip to greet them and complimented Liu Yifei's clothes.

As a result, Hanikezi discovered that Liu Yifei's English was terrible!
His accent is very Mandarin!

Moreover, she uses a lot of American slang, which I can't understand at all!
My English level is about the same as mine.

……

"Sister Fei, please come in, don't get your shoes dirty."

After much fuss, Liu Yifei finally walked in.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything.

Female celebrities are a very strange kind of creature.

They treat every opportunity to appear in public as a battleground, and sometimes, naturally, they react a little too strongly.

In particular, Liu Yifei must be under a lot of pressure lately.

Because the other actresses born in 85 are already fiercely competing in the film market, while she can't seem to stand out at all!
Let's not talk about Liu Shishi.

Yang Mi has Dilraba's backing and is also Lu Zhiyuan's person. She's the female lead or second female lead in domestic films. As long as the role is suitable, she doesn't need to fight for it. It's just delivered to her mouth and she can eat it until she vomits.

Liu Yifei is now sitting at the same table as Tang Yan.

Tang Yan seems to have a good relationship with Wang Baoqiang recently, and they have been photographed having meals together every few days.

I reckon I'll be able to enter Lu Zhiyuan's inner circle soon.

If things continue like this, Liu Yifei will become the bottom-ranked hottie!

Of course she was very anxious!
……

After a while, Mr. Wang finally arrived.

He deliberately changed into an all-black outfit, making him look like a super boss, with a pure and lovely young woman with a classical temperament by his side.

It's Chen Duling!

"Brother A Yuan, it's been a long time."

"I received my share of the profits from 'Art Students'! It's more than I expected. Thank you for helping me make money!"

As soon as Mr. Wang came up, he gave Lu Zhiyuan a warm hug.

Then, he whispered vividly in Lu Zhiyuan's ear, "You can call this little girl next to me Dudu. I specially arranged for her to be signed. What do you think?"

Lu Zhiyuan turned his head to observe for a moment, then nodded slightly: "From an appearance standpoint, I think it's not bad."

Lu Zhiyuan knew Chen Duling.

He's probably one of the few academic achievers in the entertainment industry.

However, being a top student doesn't necessarily mean you're a good actor.

Some science whizzes are just too rational, and they simply can't portray characters with rich emotional tension!
Chen Duling is a perfect example!
However, Chen Duling's situation is not suitable for acting in long TV series, but she is suitable for acting in movies... Movies do not require character development; as long as the director has good aesthetic sense, the character can be stunning at first glance and leave a memorable scene!
"As long as you like it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately burst into laughter.

He chose her based on Liu Shishi's appearance, and this Chen Duling looks even more delicate and lovely than Liu Shishi.

Her eyes were just as unfocused.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang patted Lu Zhiyuan on the shoulder and said, "Since you think highly of her, are you interested in helping me train her?"

The word "training" is very evocative.

Before Lu Zhiyuan could answer, Young Master Wang gave him a knowing look: "Both President Gao and Reba are pregnant. Don't feel bad about it. I hope you like this gift I gave you!"

Chen Duling, Little Wang has never touched her!

This was a gift he was giving to Lu Zhiyuan, so he certainly couldn't eat it himself first.

As for whether Lu Zhiyuan can handle Chen Duling... Mr. Wang has absolutely no doubt about that!
……

This victory celebration banquet was no different from the previous ones.

The only difference is that Miss Jing Tian no longer glares at everyone with a cold look and finds everyone displeasing.

Today, Miss Jing Tian seemed quite happy, chatting and laughing with everyone she met, and even showing her sisterly bond with Dilraba.

Zhang Ruonan was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? I only went home for summer vacation, less than two months. What happened? Reba and Tian Tian have made up?"

"Didn't they used to hate each other so much they wanted to kill each other?"

This world is changing so fast!
Zhang Ruonan felt that she couldn't keep up with the version iterations.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, the celebration banquet ended in disappointment... The palace intrigue that everyone used to love was nowhere to be seen!

how many years?

Lu Zhiyuan's victory celebration banquet was the most harmonious it had ever been!
……

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly!
The next morning, someone posted a huge piece of news on Weibo.

—[Last night, a famous director was arrested and detained by police for suspected prostitution!]

A famous director was arrested on suspicion of prostitution.

in the country, who can be considered a famous director? The first person that comes to mind is Lu Zhiyuan!
The Weibo account exploded with messages!
[Brother Yuan, is that you? Say something!]

[My wife is pregnant, so it's perfectly normal for her to go out and relax occasionally. There's no need to make a big deal out of it. Don't you all agree?]

[Oh no, Yuan Ge has been arrested! What about my beloved "Mojin: The Lost Legend"? I heard that the female lead is Gulnazar! Could she have been arrested too?]

[Any brothers nearby who could take the blame for Yuan Ge? I'm begging you! I've never had enough of Yuan Ge's movies in my life!]

……

"What the hell?! I got caught along with them!"

Neither Gulnazar nor Yang Mi attended the celebration banquet yesterday!
Yang Mi has already joined the cast of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and won't be able to find the time right now.

Moreover, she is Dilraba's confidante and helps the company make money, which is 100 times more useful than going to the celebration banquet to curry favor with Lu Zhiyuan!
As for Gulnazar... she's already a senior in college!
School has just started.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan hired an acting coach for her to teach her how to play Shirley Yang!
If she doesn't act well, she's doomed!

So, Nazha didn't go to the celebration banquet either.

Right now, Naza is secretly practicing her internal energy in a classroom, waiting for the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend" to be released so she can become an overnight sensation!

Let everyone see that even if someone is an idiot, as long as they are Lu Zhiyuan's leading lady, he can make that idiot look amazing!

Naza never expected that Lu Zhiyuan would be arrested!
Moreover, he was arrested for such an undignified act!

It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone!

After seeing this gossip online, Nazha sent Dilraba a message first thing in the morning: "Dilraba, don't worry... I believe that Sister Tiantian (Dilraba's nickname) won't stand idly by. She will step in at the crucial moment and delete all the negative news!"

"Nazha, what are you saying so early in the morning?"

Dilraba replied somewhat speechlessly.

Nazha felt that a text message wouldn't be enough to explain things, so she called directly, wanting to say a few words of comfort: "Senior Dilraba, I know you're very angry right now, but don't let it upset your health. Listen to me..."

Before Nazha could finish speaking, Lu Zhiyuan said impatiently, "Nazha, calling so early, unless it's something really important, I guess you just want to increase your training intensity!"

what?
You weren't arrested?
Who was arrested?
