The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 349 The Four Great Flowers of 85 Gather in "The Great Wall"!
……

Although Tang Yan's thoughts may not be the same as Lu Zhiyuan's.

But Tang Yan at least consulted experts.

Two celestial beings, one tall and one short, stabbing each other in the back—it's thrilling just to think about it.

Moreover, Wang Churan, the third generation of the Celestial Immortal, stabbed himself to death with a single sword... Clearly, this was not because the opponent was powerful, but because he held back at the crucial moment, precisely to die in a way that was full of tragic aesthetics!

Liu Yifei imagined this scene in her mind and found it very exciting.

If filmed in slow motion... the moment the sword was drawn, the blood on her body first gushed out like a fountain, then dripped onto the ground, and finally shattered into countless petals, blooming like a rose.

With a loud thud, the guzheng snapped!
The camera cut back to the previous scene.

That would be a beautiful shot full of oriental charm!

It was filled with a sense of destiny.

It was filled with a sense of helpless sorrow.

The trailer for "The Assassin" has been released, and Liu Yifei has already seen it.

Judging from the trailer, it seems like they filmed many scenes like this. But how does Shu Qi's appearance compare to mine?
With Shu Qi's catfish-like face, if she were given a close-up shot for more than a second on the big screen, the audience would probably find it unbearable!

If it were me, that would be an absolutely beautiful shot!
Unfortunately, director Hou Xiaoxian didn't come looking for him!
Otherwise, this movie's box office would definitely be much higher... and maybe I could even walk the red carpet at Cannes!
"Tangtang, I'll go back with you!"

In order to kick Liu Shishi out of the game, Liu Yifei shamelessly prepared to go back.

Standing next to Wang Churan, with similar height, similar temperament, and similar appearance... she was even more convincing!

Unfortunately, the two of them couldn't change into their period costumes for the time being.

Otherwise, let Lu Zhiyuan see today a world-famous painting featuring two celestial beauties on stage at the same time!
……

At Lu Zhiyuan's home.

After Jing Tian came in, she glanced at Lu Zhiyuan.

She smiled and gently tapped his chest with a finger, her eyes filled with a meaningful look: "Dilraba went to work, but you're at home? That brat, has she finally come to her senses and is creating opportunities for the two of us?"

Lu Zhiyuan ignored these words and asked in return, "Are you really that worried? I promised you that I would be the female lead in the 'Great Wall' project, and that promise won't be broken."

"That's hard to say."

Jing Tian snorted: "Someone even wrote a song for me, about a promise that was left unfulfilled for ten thousand years. Later I found out that the ten thousand years that person was talking about was actually two and a half years?"

"According to the time dilation effect, I should have fallen into a black hole by now, right?"

The flow of time inside a black hole is completely different from the flow of time outside.

Two and a half years inside a black hole is equivalent to ten thousand years outside – that's actually quite possible.

"Send Reba to the constellation Perseus, leaving me and Liu Shishi on Earth. What are you thinking? Others may not understand, but don't you know perfectly well?"

Lu Zhiyuan likes to include various hidden meanings in his movies.

Dilraba went to the constellation Perseus, became the ruler of that galaxy, and unified the world. Meanwhile, she and Liu Shishi waited foolishly on Earth, never getting a result.

Isn't the meaning of this ending clear enough?

What a hateful guy!

Does having talent mean you can do whatever you want?

At this moment, Jing Tian reached out and straightened Lu Zhiyuan's shirt collar, then gently patted his shoulder and said expectantly, "Real Steel 4, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Jing Tian had thought about it for Lu Zhiyuan in "Real Steel 4".

The story of Perseus probably can't be made into a movie anymore.

However, on Earth, there are still many hidden storylines that can be explored further.

The best ending, of course, is that Perseus is swallowed up by the black hole, and Reba and her group die without a burial place. Then, the story returns to Earth.

Of course, this is impossible.

How could Lu Zhiyuan possibly ruin Dilraba's character?
Therefore, Jing Tian could only hope for another outcome, namely that things would also be properly settled on Earth.

Ms. T's story will also come to a perfect end!
"As you wish, esteemed Miss T!"

It was clear that Lu Zhiyuan was in a good mood; he even joked with Jing Tian.

The trailer for "Mojin: The Lost Legend" went viral worldwide, generating immense buzz and even surpassing the popularity of "Jurassic World," which was currently showing in theaters.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this movie will definitely gross over 10 billion US dollars!
When Lu Zhiyuan was in a good mood, he was very open-minded and didn't care about Jing Tian's sarcastic remarks at all.

Furthermore, Jing Tian's ideas for Real Steel 4 can also be taken into consideration.

"Did you put honey on your lips today? Let me taste it."

Jing Tian looked at Lu Zhiyuan in surprise, then hooked her arms around his neck and quickly kissed him.

Before Lu Zhiyuan pushed her away, she took the initiative to let go of his hand.

Just taste it and stop.

"It's really sweet."

Jing Tian gave a very haughty comment, then walked into the living room with her head held high.

Kissed!
We finally kissed!
How many years has it been?

I finally got to kiss that bastard again!

At that moment, Jing Tian felt her heart beating very fast, and dopamine was being released rapidly in her body, giving her a tremendous sense of pleasure that emanated from the bottom of her heart.

This is the pleasure of detoxification!
"Sister Tian Tian!"

Upon seeing Jing Tian walk in, Hanikezi and Nazha, who were joking with each other, immediately stopped smiling and almost stood up to bow.

Jing Tian smiled and nodded at the two of them: "You two continue having fun, I'm going upstairs to see my goddaughter."

"Scared me."

Nazha and Hanikezi held hands, each patting their chests in relief.

They felt particularly guilty every time they saw Jing Tian.

Nazha didn't even dare to sit next to Hanikezi, and slipped to Liu Shishi's side, deliberately changing the subject: "Shishi, when will filming for season 2 of 'Real Steel' begin?"

Liu Shishi glanced at Jing Tian who was going upstairs, then turned back and said with a smile, "It might have to wait until winter. This time, we'll probably be filming in Northern Europe."

The finale of Pacific Rim was filmed in Iceland.

The second season of "Real Steel" will begin with this starting point, and will be combined with global warming and environmental issues to create a spin-off series.

Nazha asked curiously, "Senior Sister, what's the difference between filming American dramas and Chinese dramas?"

Because she's about to film a spin-off of "Mojin: The Lost Legend," which, although produced by New Classics Media, will ultimately be streamed on Netflix.

Naza felt that she had finally seized an opportunity, so she definitely had to give it her all!
For many actors, this is the only opportunity they have in their lifetime!
She was lucky; her former model agent was a close friend of Kun Ge, and Kun Ge chose her from among more than 30 girls at first glance.

However, she also knew that Kun Ge had chosen her to be given to Lu Zhiyuan to sleep with.

She felt a little awkward at first, and it took a lot of mental preparation before she mustered up the courage.

Who knew, Lu Zhiyuan had absolutely no desire to sleep with her...

This, in turn, caused her to develop a strong rebellious mentality!

The more Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to sleep with her, the more she wanted to sleep with him, to prove her charm!

"American TV series are produced and broadcast simultaneously, usually one episode per week, which puts a lot of pressure on the production team. If any part of the plot is criticized or not performed well, the production team will immediately cut that part of the plot and make large-scale changes."

"Therefore, the script we received at the beginning was completely irrelevant. It required a very high level of adaptability from the actors."

"Apart from that, the biggest difference is that the core creative team is different."

"In American TV series, the director's authority isn't particularly high; it's a writer-centric system. The head writer has a lot of power within the team, controlling the overall content and being able to cut scenes at will. In my understanding, in the American TV series industry, the writer is a bit like a designer, and the director is more like a project manager on the construction side."

"This is completely different from our domestic dramas!"

American TV series have been around for countless years.

The industry has also figured out the best production model.

The screenwriter controls the content, the director controls the artistic style, and the producer controls the budget.

Everyone performs their duties.

In this respect, Korean dramas also draw inspiration from American dramas.

"Nazha, you don't need to worry. Your project is different from 'Real Steel,' it's being produced by New Classics Media..."

Liu Shishi stopped there.

New Classics Media will probably treat Nazha like royalty. That's much better than going to Netflix and being looked down upon.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Naza didn't think too much about it. She simply wanted to show Liu Shishi that they were on the same side and that they would film a spin-off of Lu Zhiyuan's story together!
This is a privilege that no one else receives!

……

Upstairs.

Gao Yuanyuan and two nannies took care of Lu Zhiyuan's precious daughter.

Knowing that Jing Tian was coming, Dilraba deliberately chose to go to work today in order to avoid running into Jing Tian.

"Mr. Gao, let me take a look at my goddaughter. How beautiful is she?"

Xin Yukun was also in the room, circling around Lu Zhiyuan's precious daughter.

This is Lu Zhiyuan's only heir at present.

"Brother Kun, get away from me."

Jing Tian pushed Xin Yukun away, took the little girl from Gao Yuanyuan's hands, and gently teased her: "You're clumsy, don't hurt my goddaughter."

"So beautiful, with big, round eyes and such fair skin."

Jing Tian looked at Lu Zhiyuan's daughter, who looked exactly like Lu Zhiyuan, and felt a very magical feeling.

Normally, she should hate this little girl.

However, this little girl looks so much like Lu Zhiyuan, she's practically a female version of Lu Zhiyuan, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her, she wishes she could just take her away and not give her back to Gao Yuanyuan.

"Let me hug you too."

Xin Yukun also wanted to hug the little girl, but Jing Tian just wouldn't let go.

Nothing.

Xin Yukun could only watch from the sidelines.

This little girl does look a lot like Lu Zhiyuan, except for her eyes, which are somewhat similar to Gao Yuanyuan's.

At that moment, Xin Yukun recalled Reba's eyes and found that they were somewhat similar.

Because Dilraba's eyes are also big and round.

What a coincidence!

awesome.

"Wait... I see."

Xin Yukun recalled that, besides Reba and Gao Yuanyuan, Jing Tian's eyes were also big and round.

Lu Zhiyuan's preferences are indeed very limited!

"Brother Kun, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Jing Tian playing with the child, Gao Yuanyuan pulled Xin Yukun aside and started talking about serious matters.

"President Gao, you have made outstanding contributions to our entire Yuankun Media. Please feel free to ask for anything. I will go through fire and water for you, even at the cost of my life."

Xin Yukun made a joke.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't know which of Xin Yukun's words were true and which were false, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

If Dilraba gives birth to a son next year, Xin Yukun will probably immediately turn against her.

However, Gao Yuanyuan holds 20% of Yuankun Media's shares, a portion of Yuangao Technology's shares, and 5% of Nvidia's shares.

Her precious daughter doesn't need to inherit Lu Zhiyuan's media empire at all; she can inherit her own technology empire!

Gao Yuanyuan pulled Xin Yukun onto the balcony and said directly, "Brother Kun, I have a best friend named Yi Nenjing. You should know her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Yukun's eyes widened: "What? Yi Nenjing is your best friend? Why didn't you introduce Yi Nenjing to me? She's my type!"

Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. How could I possibly push my best friend into a fire pit?
At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan said irritably, "She got married last year. Even if I introduce you to her, you have no chance."

"It seems that there is such a thing."

Last summer, Yi Nenjing and Qin Hao's sudden marriage caused quite a stir.

However, at that time, Godzilla was sweeping the world, and Xin Yukun was focused on Lu Zhiyuan's box office every day.

Who has time to care about these gossip and scandals?
"I even attended the wedding when Yi Nenjing and Qin Hao got married... Well, actually, my relationship with Yi Nenjing is just so-so, but my relationship with Qin Hao is pretty good."

When Gao Yuanyuan saw this, Xin Yukun couldn't believe it at all; she and Yi Nenjing were best friends.

The main reason is that the two have almost no interaction.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Qin Hao and I filmed 'Shanghai Dreams' together, and we have a good relationship."

Because she had a good relationship with Qin Hao, Gao Yuanyuan attended Qin Hao's wedding... Although attending other people's weddings is normal, Gao Yuanyuan was afraid that Xin Yukun, with her big mouth, would tell Lu Zhiyuan right away.

It sounds very strange that she maintains friendships with other men after having a boyfriend.

Although Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't say much, Gao Yuanyuan would overthink it.

She was worried that Lu Zhiyuan would be unhappy, so she changed her approach.

"Qin Hao's acting is good. He has also acted in several art films. With so many actresses in the 'The Great Wall' project, couldn't they have included a male actor?"

It's obvious that Qin Hao won't ask Gao Yuanyuan for a role.

This time, it was Yi Nengjing who helped her husband by asking Gao Yuanyuan for a role.

Because Gao Yuanyuan is the vice president of Yuankun Media. She certainly has the right to offer suggestions to Lu Zhiyuan.

"Qin Hao, he's really good at making crime films, he can portray bad guys very well."

Xin Yukun was deeply impressed by Qin Hao's acting skills.

Upon hearing that there was hope, Gao Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes. He plays those refined scoundrels or psychopaths quite well."

Upon hearing this, Xin Yukun smiled meaningfully: "President Gao, generally speaking, good acting comes from life. Do you know why Qin Hao's acting is so superb when playing these refined scoundrels or psychopaths?"

"Ok?"

Gao Yuanyuan was taken aback, realizing that Xin Yukun's words were clearly loaded with meaning and carried a hint of sarcasm.

"President Gao, Qin Hao's acting skills are quite good. Logically speaking, since you've asked, I should definitely give you face and put in a good word for you with Brother Yuan."

"However, I can tell you clearly that even if I bring it up, Brother Yuan will not use it. I won't tell you the specific reasons. But I will give you three words as a hint."

Xin Yukun's words were rambling and mysterious.

Gao Yuanyuan was so angry she wanted to knock him on the head: "Brother Kun, there are no outsiders here, what's the point of you playing riddles with me? When my daughter grows up, I'll make sure she ignores you!"

"No, no, no! I was wrong!"

Xin Yukun felt an immediate connection with Lu Zhiyuan's daughter.

He doesn't have any children of his own; this is his precious darling!
Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was very curious, Xin Yukun told the truth: "There is a famous case in Northeast China called the Mu Ma Case. The horse that fell from power and was executed was Qin Hao's uncle."

"So, you could say he has quite a bit of life experience in the crime film genre!"

"However, you want him to film period dramas... haha, to be frank, he can't do it. He can't portray that feeling."

Other actors, when filming crime movies, are probably just acting.

Qin Hao has personally experienced similar cases! He will probably never forget such details for the rest of his life.

Who else has had this experience?

Even the most talented actor cannot create a 100% realistic performance!

"real or fake?"

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned. Could such a thing really exist?
She's known Qin Hao for almost 10 years, and she didn't even know about this.

"What did I lie to you about?"

Xin Yukun touched his chin with his finger: "You have a big misunderstanding about me. You think I'm always out there doing nothing productive and hanging out with bad friends. Actually, bad friends can be quite useful."

"For example, how could a good girl like you possibly know about these messy things? No one else would tell you either."

"And my cronies, when I buy them a few drinks, they tell me all sorts of messy things."

“I flattered them a little, and they got all cocky, eager to tell me their most unbelievable stories.”

"Honestly, these inside stories are much more exciting than domestic crime films."

Movies are, after all, fiction.

However, some stories about certain people in the entertainment industry are true. Most people just don't know these things.

If they really knew, none of these actors could make a living.

"By the way, Mr. Gao, have you seen the news recently... a certain internet celebrity, the one who looks a lot like Hani, just signed with an MCN company, and then was sent to a talent show to dance, which caused a huge sensation. It seems that she is preparing to debut and film an idol drama."

"Honey doesn't film idol dramas, but many viewers really want to see her in one. This company has a keen sense of opportunity and knows how to seize market opportunities."

"But they forgot one thing: the value that Hani alone created was more valuable than their entire company."

"Moreover, 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' is about to be released. At this critical juncture, more than a dozen leading companies in China are all waiting for this movie to make them a lot of money."

"At this moment, anyone who tries to ride on Hani's popularity is making enemies of everyone."

"So, the result is... In the past few days, marketing accounts across the internet have been stirring up trouble, claiming with certainty that an internet celebrity once said... God showered down beauty, but only the Han Chinese held up umbrellas."

"She's done!"

"Although she is beautiful, no less so than Hani, and even has a better figure than Hani, she will never become famous in her lifetime."

Xin Yukun told Gao Yuanyuan an interesting story.

The other party didn't actually do anything.

Looking like Hanikezi is an opportunity bestowed upon her by God.

Moreover, that internet celebrity is much taller and has much longer legs than Hani.

After watching that talent show, Xin Yukun had an urge to sign that internet celebrity and train her properly.

Who knew that the other party had already signed with a company, and that company wanted to ride on Hanikezi's popularity.

Is this still available?

There's no need for Lu Zhiyuan to give any instructions about this kind of thing.

The dozen or so companies that invested in "Mojin: The Lost Legend" were united in their anger and immediately put a full-blown anti-explosion package on that internet celebrity.

That internet celebrity's social media platform gets tens of thousands of people hurling insults at them every day. Those with weaker mental health might even develop depression.

The entertainment industry is just that cruel.

Without anyone protecting or supporting you, it's incredibly difficult for an ordinary person to get into this circle.

Even if someone protects you, it's useless. If you're in the same ecological niche, unless you have absolutely no weaknesses, it's only a matter of time before someone wants to destroy you.

Either be smart and concede some benefits.

Like that internet celebrity, if she were smarter, she could have approached Xin Yukun or Zhang Tianai and joined Yuankun Media.

In recent years, live streaming by internet celebrities has become increasingly popular.

Yuankun Media can also do this kind of business. If the other party comes, they will become the top female internet celebrity under Yuankun Media.

There are plenty of resources.

Unfortunately, he's an idiot and completely misses the point!

He chose a path that would inevitably lead to his death.

"You guys are so ruthless! With just one sentence, you ruined that girl's future."

Gao Yuanyuan could sense the malice in those words.

"God showered beauty upon the world, but only the Han Chinese held up umbrellas." What person with a normal IQ would say such a thing?
And she's someone who wants to be a star!

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that someone is stirring up trouble and spreading negative rumors.

But the key point is that, with the saying "three men can make a tiger," such propaganda is everywhere, and many people simply don't think about the logic behind it. As fellow Han Chinese, they just feel that the statement is mocking them.

Under these circumstances, that internet celebrity would have no chance of entering the entertainment industry.

When Gao Yuanyuan expressed sympathy for the internet celebrity, Xin Yukun remained unconvinced: "In this game, if you can't be a winner, you're doomed. We also went through countless hardships to climb to this position."

"Besides, the other party's methods are not clever at all."

“At any other time, we wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to wipe them out. But the timing they chose is just disgusting.”

"They're doing this at this time to destroy 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'!"

"I have reason to suspect that this is a hostile foreign force trying to sabotage our grand strategy of cultural outreach!"

Once a serious accusation is leveled against someone, even if they don't intend to, they'll have no choice but to admit their mistake.

After all, "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was a prequel to "The Great Wall".

Only after "Mojin: The Lost Legend" successfully opened up the European and American markets can "The Great Wall" then achieve great success worldwide.

At such a critical moment, everyone is being extremely careful.

The other side completely fails to grasp the situation and dares to go against the tide?
If we don't crack down on this evil trend, others will think that Yuankun Media is a pushover!

"Brother Kun, I'm sorry, I didn't think that much about it. But thinking about it carefully, the other party is indeed disgusting. You did the right thing; we can't tolerate this kind of thing."

Gao Yuanyuan had no intention of riding on Hanikezi's coattails.

But when the other party wanted to sabotage Lu Zhiyuan's movie, Gao Yuanyuan immediately felt a sense of shared hatred and wanted to personally take action to destroy that company!
"Mr. Gao, I've prepared a news article for you. Please take a look at it first. If there are no problems, I'll have the matrix marketing accounts publish it for you."

Xin Yukun knew that Gao Yuanyuan was a kind and innocent person.

He didn't take it seriously. At this moment, he smiled, took out a completed article from his phone, and sent it to Gao Yuanyuan for a quick look.

The article is titled: "The Power Struggle at Yuankun Media: Haibuna Seizes Power from Ruan Wen"

The article states that Dilraba returned to Yuankun Media before her maternity leave was over, taking back control of the company's operations and demonstrating her strong work ethic.

Gao Yuanyuan, the vice president who was originally in charge of the company's operations, was tricked by Dilraba into staying at home to take care of the child after she recognized Dilraba's daughter as her goddaughter.

Publishing such an article is simply laughable.

Dilraba's biological mother went to the company to seize control of the business, showing her strong ambition.

Gao Yuanyuan, Dilraba's godmother, helps Dilraba take care of her child at home, just like a naive and innocent female lead who is completely fooled by a vicious female supporting character.

However, after publishing so many articles like this, the paparazzi became too lazy to even take pictures of Gao Yuanyuan when she was out with her daughter.

Because Xin Yukun has already proactively published an article.

Dilraba is a workaholic who is determined to help Lu Zhiyuan become the greatest of all time, and she is even too lazy to raise her child.

Gao Yuanyuan, the company's vice president, has to manage the company's accounts while also helping Lu Zhiyuan's daughter calculate the cost of baby formula.

“Mr. Gao, I’ll have someone publish a similar article every month. When your child turns one, you’ll be able to openly take him out shopping.”

Xin Yukun said with a smile.

That's just how public opinion works.

Whoever speaks the loudest, whoever says it the most, is the one who holds the truth.

Because most people are too busy with work and study to have any extra energy to care about things that don't benefit them.

"Brother Kun, thank you!"

Gao Yuanyuan thought about it for a moment and felt that this approach was feasible.

Although she's a bit of a homebody, she still really wants to take her child out shopping, to the amusement park, and to experience a normal life in the future.

"You're welcome. I have high hopes for you becoming Consort Ling!"

Xin Yukun smiled, waved his hand, and turned to go downstairs.

"Consort Ling?"

Upon hearing this word, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

She lowered her head and thought for a while. Wasn't Consort Ling the gentle and virtuous concubine in "My Fair Princess" who didn't fight for anything?

In actual history, it seems that Consort Ling's son did indeed inherit the throne!

……

downstairs.

Lu Zhiyuan was scrolling through the news on his phone.

Suddenly a large number of messages popped up.

They're all about that internet celebrity who looks just like Hanikezi.

Although these marketing accounts' articles differ from one another, they all aim to convey the same message: "God showered down beauty, but only the Han Chinese held up umbrellas."

Upon seeing these articles, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

In another time and space, he seemed to have seen similar marketing copy.

He couldn't quite remember, but the rumor was that it was Hanikezi's company that was marketing her beauty.

What kind of marketing is this?

The person in charge of marketing is most likely an undercover agent sent by the rival company!
This completely ruined Hanikezi's public image.

At this very moment, he saw similar news on his phone, but it was used to promote an internet celebrity who looked just like Hanikezi.

It made him feel a strange sense of destiny and reincarnation.

At this moment, out of a bit of amusement, Lu Zhiyuan called Hanikezi over: "Hani, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Hanikezi ran over with a smile and plopped down next to Lu Zhiyuan. Before Lu Zhiyuan could ask, she blurted out, "Teacher, I'm willing."

You're willing my ass!
I haven't asked anything yet!
"Haha."

Nazha knew what Hanikezi was thinking and couldn't help but laugh.

Hanikezi is definitely asking for it; he deserves a beating.

"Don't be naughty."

Lu Zhiyuan gave a light rebuke, then asked seriously, "Honey, among the people you know, who do you think is the best-looking? Answer seriously, no need to flatter."

Of course it's Dilraba!
Hanikezi was about to blurt it out.

But upon closer reflection, since Dilraba isn't home today, she wouldn't hear me flattering her.

So, Hanikezi pretended to think about it seriously for a while before saying, "Of course it's Sister Yuanyuan!"

"She has a gentle and intellectual appearance, huge eyes, amazing skin, and an incredibly sweet smile. If I could be reborn, I'd want to look like her!"

Although Gao Yuanyuan did not appear, she was upstairs taking care of the children.

But Hanikezi knew that Gao Yuanyuan would definitely hear it.

At this moment, Nazha raised her hand defiantly and asked, "Honey, do you think I'm prettier, or is Sister Yuanyuan prettier?"

Hanikezi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Nazha, don't tease me. When you first came here, your skin was yellow and dark, and you had two big, upturned nostrils."

Over the years, Gulnazar has undergone a lot of skincare and maintenance treatments.

My skin became white and smooth.

In addition, I had a nasal retraction procedure and the tip of my nose was also raised a bit, giving me a small, upturned nose that looks very beautiful from the side.

From then on, she became the stunningly beautiful Gulnazar, with a flawless appearance from every angle.

But Hanikezi has seen what the original Nazha looked like.

She felt that she was inferior to him!

"You brat, I'll deal with you later."

Naza waved her little fist at Hanikezi, thinking, "Let's find a secluded place and show her what I'm capable of!"
Although these two are good friends, after filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend", they both clearly realized that, from a certain perspective, they are competitors!

However, they've known each other since childhood and often slept in the same room at Lu Zhiyuan's house, so their relationship is much stronger than the fake friendships in the entertainment industry!
……

"Ding dong."

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Hanikezi hurriedly ran to open the door.

She saw the four people who came through the video doorbell.

Liu Yifei left but then returned.

Tang Yan and Yang Mi arrived a little late, probably due to traffic.

"Wait, why is there another Liu Yifei?"

Hanikezi saw a little girl behind Tang Yan.

At that moment, the little girl was looking around, and her profile looked about 70-80% similar to Liu Yifei's!
Wow!
Liu Yifei has competitors now?

This is exciting!
"Sister Honey, Sister Sugar, you're here! Please come in!"

Hanikezi hurriedly opened the door.

Because, in a little while, a fierce battle will surely break out in Lu Zhiyuan's home.

There's a great show to watch today!
It is highly likely that Hanikezi will not star in the project "The Great Wall".

Because she had just finished filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend," the fame and fortune brought by the movie were so great that she was overwhelmed and had enough to keep her busy for several years.

She is not greedy either.

Anyway, if she behaves herself, Lu Zhiyuan will arrange everything perfectly for her.

If she is too opinionated, Lu Zhiyuan will think that she has grown up... and then he will treat her as an adult and ignore her, letting her develop on her own.

If that's the case, she might as well stay a child forever and never grow up.

……

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

Tang Yan came over, very politely, and brought a box full of children's toys.

What kind of doll would a typical person give a girl if they hadn't done their research?

But actually, babies should not touch dolls at all, as they may inhale the plush material and affect their respiratory system!

Tang Yan gave away mostly hand-held toys.

It is more suitable for babies to enhance their tactile development and perceive the world.

"Tangtang, you're so thoughtful."

Lu Zhiyuan asked Hanikezi to take the gifts up to the second floor, and then invited Tang Yan to sit down.

Tang Yan originally wanted to sit next to Liu Shishi, but after thinking about it, she sat directly opposite Liu Shishi.

Yang Mi originally wanted to sit next to Tang Yan, but she suddenly realized that if she sat next to Tang Yan, Liu Yifei would have to sit next to Liu Shishi.
How embarrassing!
So, she had a sudden inspiration and sat down next to Lu Zhiyuan!

Good guy!
At that moment, everyone turned to look at Yang Mi, filled with disbelief. "Are you really that brave? Aren't you afraid of getting your head smashed by Jing Tian and Dilraba?"

"Brother Yuan, I'll go to the kitchen and get you a glass of grape juice."

Yang Mi isn't afraid.

Ever since he learned that she had undergone plastic surgery, Lu Zhiyuan has treated her like a top-tier beast of burden, no longer as his top-tier paint.

Dilraba and Jing Tian never took her seriously.

"Tangtang, I know why you're here. Baoqiang has already told me. No problem, I'll reserve a role for you in the 'The Great Wall' project."

Wang Baoqiang wanted to pursue Tang Yan, and Lu Zhiyuan was well aware of this.

He was willing to act as a matchmaker and help Wang Baoqiang defy fate.

Tang Yan is not bad.

Although he had some messy scandals when he was young, he has basically stopped messing around after becoming famous and still cherishes his reputation.

"what?"

Is this done?
Hearing Lu Zhiyuan's words, Tang Yan was taken aback, because she hadn't sent Wang Cheran away yet!

"Your role might not be very big. I'm letting you know that now. However, if you have a good presence on camera, I'll make sure to contact you for auditions next time there are any roles available."

If Lu Zhiyuan agrees, the role will definitely be Tang Yan's.

There may be further changes to the production teams of other people.

But in Lu Zhiyuan's production team, his power was like that of an emperor. Basically, once he spoke up, very few others objected.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan!"

Tang Yan was so happy she didn't know how to express it. She immediately beckoned Wang Cheran over: "Brother Yuan, this is my niece. She's 16 years old this year. What do you think?"

"Cough cough!"

Just then, Hanikezi returned from upstairs and coughed heavily upon hearing this.

What exactly does Tang Yan mean?
I just turned 18, and you brought your 16-year-old niece over?
Tang Yan realized there was a loophole in her words and hurriedly explained, "Brother Yuan, I know you might be filming some period dramas soon. My niece looks especially beautiful in period costumes. She's from a drama school."

The prestige of girls from opera schools wearing ancient costumes is something those in the know understand.

"You don't need to explain, I understand what you mean."

Lu Zhiyuan looked at Wang Churan and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize him at the moment.

After all, Wang Cheran after becoming a big star is a completely different person from Wang Cheran during her student days.

It's like he got a new head.

However, from a certain perspective, Wang Cheran's foundation is indeed quite good. With just a slight adjustment, she can achieve an A-level effect!
As for period dramas, Wang Churan should be rated S!
It possesses an extraordinary ethereal quality.

As expected of a third-generation celestial being, even if she only possesses a fraction of Liu Yifei's peak charisma, she is already stunning enough.

Lu Zhiyuan looked Wang Cheran up and down for a while, then pondered for a moment and said, "Can I ask for a long leave from school?"

That's it!

Tang Yan was overjoyed when Lu Zhiyuan asked this question.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, there's no problem!"

If a student from a drama school has the opportunity to act in Lu Zhiyuan's movies, even if it's just a minor role, the school will definitely give them the green light from the start.

They even regarded Wang Churan as the pride of the school!

If Wang Churan's film goes down in history, and he leaves behind a memorable scene in the film, the school's work report next year will definitely have plenty to write about!
The principal will probably have to give Wang Cheran a special shout-out at the opening ceremony!

"Honey, you're the older sister, please take care of her..."

This was the first time Lu Zhiyuan had met Wang Churan, and under normal circumstances he certainly wouldn't know her name.

At that moment, he looked at Wang and asked, "I still don't know your name?"

Wang Churan looked at Lu Zhiyuan with the expression of a star-struck fan, and then hurriedly introduced herself: "Uncle Yuan, my name is Wang Churan. You can call me Xiaochuan."

Ah!
When Tang Yan heard Wang Churan address Lu Zhiyuan as "Uncle," she almost knelt down before Wang Churan. "I was wrong, I shouldn't have become your cousin." "But, oh dear, please don't do this to me!"

Yang Mi almost burst out laughing!

This little girl is amazing! She's promoted Lu Zhiyuan by a whole generation!
Liu Yifei, who had just been teased by Lu Zhiyuan, didn't hold back at all. She laughed heartily and teased Lu Zhiyuan, "Uncle Yuan, congratulations on having a niece!"

Lu Zhiyuan didn't care at all and called Zhang Tianai: "Xiao Ai, come to my house for a moment."

"Understood, Mr. Lu!"

Zhang Tianai was at the company helping Reba check the accounts. She was Reba's confidante. After hanging up the phone, she gave Reba a puzzled look.

"Sister Xiao Ai, in that case, you go first, I'll go back after I finish reading the financial statements."

Within Yuankun Media, factions are clearly defined.

Dilraba couldn't manage the finances because that was Gao Yuanyuan's territory.

She could only manage her own small territory, namely the brokerage business under Zhang Tianai.

Even so, the brokerage business made a lot of money last year!
Especially that brat Zhang Ruonan.

After the release of Godzilla, she earned tens of millions of dollars for the company.

Besides that, there's Hanikezi. She's maintained her popularity thanks to the "Real Steel" series. Even though she hasn't filmed anything in the last two years, she's still the company's undisputed cash cow.

Of course, the most valuable asset is Dilraba herself!
After the release of "Art Students", she collaborated on a lot of jewelry, and they were all top-tier luxury brands!
Other celebrities also have to attend banquets and promote luxury goods, acting like salespeople, calling everyone "sister" and introducing them to wealthy women.

Reba doesn't need to do this kind of work at all.

Because she herself is a wealthy woman... Lu Zhiyuan has a net worth of 200 billion US dollars. The only people in China who are richer than him are Wang Jianlin of Wanda Group and Jack Ma of Alibaba!
Lu Zhiyuan ranked third nationwide!
Behind Lu Zhiyuan, the fourth person is Pony Ma of Tencent, with a net worth of $178 billion!
There are many catchy rhymes online now.

For example, my father's father is named Jianlin.

For example, Jack Ma of Alibaba.

Lu Zhiyuan, who ranks third on the national rich list, naturally also has a similar jingle.

One of the most famous ones is: "One stab and Jack Ma sheds tears, two stabs and Jianlin's heart breaks, three stabs and Brother Yuan sleeps on the street."

I'm sure everyone understands what this jingle is about; it's obviously about a famous pastry from a certain region!

As for why Brother Yuan sleeps on the street?

That's because they couldn't buy enough local specialties from their hometown, so Reba kicked them out of the house.

However, these are just catchy rhymes circulating online.

No one dares to post this kind of thing under Lu Zhiyuan and Dilraba's Weibo posts. If anyone does, their account will be locked instantly, and they will be banned and suspended.

……

Tang Yan got what she wanted.

She also took the opportunity to send Wang Churan to Lu Zhiyuan's Yuankun Media.

It's like having two safety belts attached, double the security.

At Lu Zhiyuan's home, Tang Yan couldn't resist and took the opportunity to call Wang Baoqiang, her voice sounding especially sweet: "Brother Baoqiang, what do you like to eat? If you have the chance, I'll cook for you myself."

Wang Baoqiang is indeed very reliable.

The suggestions he gave himself were entirely aimed at Lu Zhiyuan's ideas.

For modern dramas, dance students are generally stronger than opera students. However, for period dramas, opera students have a natural advantage.

"I'm not a picky eater. Steamed buns and pickled vegetables are fine with me. But my favorite is celery. I've heard that if you want to stay young, you should eat more celery."

Wang Baoqiang's words left Tang Yan speechless.

Although you want to date me, our living conditions are just too different. You like steamed buns and pickled vegetables, but I don't.

Besides, I don't like eating celery!
"Tangtang, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Lu Zhiyuan was very enthusiastic towards Tang Yan because Tang Yan had brought him Wang Churan.

Wang Churan, at 16 years old, still has great potential!
Although she is not as beautiful as Liu Yifei herself, her eyes are more expressive, and most importantly, she is young!
Liu Yifei is already 28 years old. Her face is well-maintained and she hasn't aged yet, but her eyes have lost their sparkle.

Wang Churan's eyes were full of spirit.

Tang Yan, perhaps overjoyed, let her guard down around Lu Zhiyuan and suddenly asked like a naive girl, "I want to eat [cifantuan] (sticky rice balls). I wonder if it's available in Yanjing?"

After she finished speaking, she regretted it and felt that she had just lost her mind.

She didn't come here to eat.

"Now that you mention it, I'm tempted to try the 'Cifantuan' (sticky rice ball). I like to add some crispy fried dough sticks inside."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart, and even showed a nostalgic expression on his face.

This is a memory from his junior high school days!

How many years has it been since I last ate this?
"Mmm, I also like to add some fried dough sticks! And I also like to pair them with sweet bean sauce and chili sauce."

Tang Yan nodded like a child, a happy smile on her face.

If Wang Baoqiang were as outstanding and charming as Lu Zhiyuan, and had the same taste in food, he would definitely make her heart flutter and want to marry him immediately!

"Honey, Nazha, you two usually order the food, can you help me find out where I can buy cifantuan (sticky rice balls)?"

Lu Zhiyuan searched for it himself but couldn't find it at all.

However, she believes in Hanikezi and Nazha's abilities.

"You two continue chatting, I'll go upstairs to take a look."

After finishing their business, Lu Zhiyuan turned and went upstairs.

At first, he didn't have much affection for his daughter, but as time went on, he wanted to see her every 10 minutes!
Mainly, the baby's milky scent was really irresistible to him.

"Senior Sister, don't look so gloomy. No one can take your role away from you. That girl named Xiaochuan is just a substitute for now."

Seeing Liu Shishi looking worried, Nazha offered a few words of comfort.

Wang Churan is only 16 years old, what kind of acting skills could she possibly have?

Hanikezi was able to star in "Real Steel" because Lu Zhiyuan couldn't find a replacement.

However, there are plenty of actresses like Wang Churan who can pull off period dramas.

Can't Zhang Ruonan act in period dramas?
She looks quite beautiful and lively in period costumes too!

However, keeping another Wang Churan in the company was not a problem for Lu Zhiyuan at all. He could just consider him a backup plan.

"I know."

Liu Shishi was worried because Lu Zhiyuan hadn't even glanced at her, making all the time she had spent dressing up in vain.

really.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't compare to one's own daughter.

Now that Lu Zhiyuan is a father, all he thinks about, besides movies, is his beloved daughter!

"Hey."

"Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei, and Tang Yan all secured roles. Four of the '85 Flowers' (a term referring to actresses born in 1985), and I'm just an outsider?"

Sitting in the corner, Yang Mi had unspeakable bitterness in her heart.

Actually, if you really want to count, there's one more "flower of the 85s".

That's Zhao Liying, who won the Golden Eagle Goddess award last year for her role in "Boss & Me"!
However, none of the four of them ever took Zhao Liying seriously.

Because they have already left the TV drama industry, and Zhao Liying is now following the same path they have taken.

Moreover, all four of them are backed by super-large companies.

Who is Zhao Liying?
She has to rely on herself to boost her stats!
In this internet age, impressive data is Zhao Liying's biggest advantage! She has to make sure the numbers look amazing.

Liu Shishi and Lu Zhiyuan are having an affair!
Liu Yifei received $200 million to buy a role.

Tang Yan and Wang Baoqiang are having an affair. Lu Zhiyuan is indifferent to female celebrities in the entertainment industry and even has some misogyny. He wouldn't even bother to glance at Liu Yifei.

But this guy is completely devoted to his brothers.

After working with him on several films, Wang Baoqiang became his good friend, and Wang Baoqiang's influence was indeed very useful.

Only Yang Mi remained, afraid to extend her leg for fear that Dilraba would break it.

However, she couldn't find Lu Zhiyuan's good brother to take over.

After thinking it over, Yang Mi could only send a message to Dilraba: "Boss lady, they all have roles now, and I'm the only one left. I have no relatives or friends, and I'm so pitiful. Nobody cares about me."

A while later, Dilraba replied with a message, sounding very confident: "Sister Honey, don't worry, you're mine. Tonight, I'll sleep with him and get him! I'll save a good role for you."

Yang Mi really wanted to reply: If I could, I would like to seduce him myself.
