Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 115 Huang and Zhou tear off their mask, casting for [Ip Man]
The box office performance of "The Shallows" was indeed as strong as predicted.

The following day, the revenue reached 1540 million.

On the third day, the revenue reached 1330 million.

On the fourth day,...

On the 29th, the star-studded film "Seven Swords" was released.

The film had an investment of 1.4 million yuan and was heavily promoted before its release, emphasizing that it learned from the failure of "The Legend of Zu" and had carefully polished the script for several years.

Tsui Hark's "Once Upon a Time in China" series is a classic of martial arts films of its time.

Therefore, as soon as "Seven Swords" was released, it attracted many martial arts film fans to the cinema.

When the two-and-a-half-hour film ended, the audience remained seated in stunned silence.

What kind of movie is this? It's just a romance story disguised as a martial arts film.
"Old Master Xu has run out of ideas!"

"The plot is loose, the characters lack tension, and there are no memorable moments after watching the movie."

"The whole thing is a low-quality version of 'Seven Samurai,' with a chaotic plot, disorganized editing, and the original work has been completely altered!"

Online, the reviews are overwhelmingly negative, with many saying they didn't understand what the plot was trying to convey.

The box office on the first day was 720 million, which was also below expectations.

In contrast, The Shallows bucked the trend and saw a surge in box office revenue, breaking the 10 million mark again in a single day.

The film grossed 5380 million at the end of its first week.

The major investors and producers of "Seven Swords" have been busy, and the actors' promotional efforts have never stopped. All the main actors have joined forces to travel all over the country for promotional tours.

Meanwhile, some film critics stepped forward, praising the beautiful and stunning visuals and the clean and crisp action scenes.

However, viewers who saw the film were not impressed, believing that the actors' performances were wooden and that they only remembered the many stars.

The word-of-mouth collapsed, and the box office couldn't be saved.

Moreover, there's also "The Shallows" in theaters, which has received good reviews and performed well at the box office.

August 1st.

All the film and entertainment news has been drawn to the latest issue of [Men's Health] magazine.

Eye-opening.

Huang Shengyi debuted with "Crazy Supermarket," which was also Tian Xiaole's first film.

Immediately afterwards, he starred in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle," becoming an overnight sensation across the country.

Whether it's Tang Xiaolian or the image of the mute girl.

They all had a pure, refined, and charming appearance.

The agency also portrays her as a pure and innocent young woman in their public image.

In the latest issue of [Men's Style] magazine, Huang Shengyi is wearing a bikini and striking various provocative poses.

Wet and alluring, lips slightly parted, breasts half-concealed, various sexy and sensual poses are openly displayed to the public.

Huang Shengyi's pure and innocent image is the object of many people's fantasies. The photos in the magazine, however, are a complete shock.

Most people online can't understand why, given her current momentum, she has the potential to become a top-tier female star.

They believe this is a publicity stunt orchestrated by the agency, and that Huang Shengyi was definitely forced into it.

The contrast between innocence and sexiness made this issue of "Men's Health" magazine a bestseller, stimulating its exclusive consumer group.

Tian Xiaole scrolled through the news on Leyu.com with a spectator's mentality, critically appreciating the photos.

I know she has a wild streak, but her personality is too soft to be controlled. She can't tell if someone is being sincere or not when they say nice things to her.

Upon learning the news, Star Shine Company was furious.

Unexpectedly, before Xinghui could respond, Huang Shengyi contacted the media and held a press conference as a victim.

She unilaterally announced the termination of her contract with Star Overseas, accusing the agency of a series of unfair treatments, being neglected, and being oppressed and threatened by the company, speaking tearfully.

He stated that he would spare no expense to terminate the contract, even if it meant leaving the entertainment industry.

A passionate speech, coupled with an Oscar-worthy performance, made it seem as if someone was orchestrating all of this.

Soon, all the blame was directed at Tian Xiaole.

The news media, like cats smelling fish, camped out downstairs at Xiao Le Film Studio, eager to interview him, the "person involved."

Besides starring in her first film, Huang Shengyi's photos at Xiao Le Pictures were leaked online before the magazine was published.

"These reporters don't think this has anything to do with them, do they?"

Tian Xiaole didn't want to get involved in this mess, but more and more media reporters were gathering around.

If they don't respond, people will really think they've agreed.

With the help of security guards, Tian Xiaole voluntarily accepted an interview with reporters and the media.

"Director Tian, ​​before Huang Shengyi terminated his contract with Star Shine Pictures, he appeared at Xiaole Pictures. What role did you play in it?"

“She did come to Xiaole Pictures, and I met with her. We talked about cooperation. I also said that if there was a cooperation opportunity, I would contact her agency directly. I was unaware that she terminated her contract with Star Overseas.”

"Director Tian, ​​if Huang Shengyi saves money, will you sign her?"

"No, if we were going to sign, we would have done so long ago, not waited until now."

Tian Xiaole's straightforward answer surprised the reporter.

Based on the information currently available, he should be the mastermind behind Huang Shengyi.

"Director Tian, ​​what's your opinion on Huang Shengyi's contract termination? And are what she said true?" a reporter pressed.

Without much thought, Tian Xiaole said directly, "Of course I'm just watching the show. I don't know anything about what she's accusing me of, and I have no interest in knowing anything about it."

Just after finishing an interview with reporters, Tian Xiaole's personal cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

Those who get his phone number are usually close friends or family members, so they answer the phone directly.

"Hey, who is that?"

A voice in broken Mandarin came through the phone.

“Tian Dao, ren hao le, wo Si Zhou Xing Chi.”

Tian Xiaole was surprised that Zhou Xingchi actually called him, and still politely asked:

"Hello, Director Stephen Chow, what can I do for you?"

"I'd like to ask you, is Huang Shengyi's contract termination related to you? We can sit down and talk about it."

Xinghui saw the news report and realized that if Tian Xiaole, a local strongman, supported the termination of the contract, he would have the advantage of location, people, and connections, making it very difficult for them to win the case.

So, as soon as I got Han Sanping's number, I called to ask if he had any support.

After all, he's no longer well-regarded in Hong Kong and is now focusing more on collaborating with mainland film and television companies.

“Mr. Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with me. How you want to handle it is your business.”

"Then thank you, Xie Tianshengla."

Tian Xiaole hung up the phone. This matter had inexplicably involved her. She hoped it wasn't a deliberate scheme, or she would have to experience what it meant to be a prince of the Beijing social circle.

After receiving a positive response from Tian Xiaole, Xinghui issued a statement immediately.

First, they refuted Huang Shengyi's claims of coercion and inducement one by one, and refused to accept unilateral termination of the contract. They also warned that if any more defamatory remarks were published, legal action would be taken.

The first round has ended.

Given the practices of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, mainland netizens overwhelmingly support Huang Shengyi's decision to terminate his contract.

Hong Kong media condemned this behavior, arguing that it lacked contractual spirit and that if actors followed suit when they wanted to terminate their contracts, then how would agencies continue to train actors?

In the film market, the decline of "Seven Swords" is unstoppable.

With an investment of 1.4 million yuan, the box office in the first week was only 2600 million yuan. Let alone making a profit, it would be difficult to even break even.

It all depends on how well it performs in overseas markets.

Xu Ke's martial arts films have a certain appeal in the Southeast Asian market.

South Korea also invested in this movie, so we'll see how it is received there after its release.

With Tian Xiaole expanding into Hollywood and now adding Hong Kong Island collaborations, large sums of money are flowing in and out every day. The finance staff at Xiaole Films are extremely busy, and assistant Xiaowen is also juggling multiple roles.

It's a waste of time to have to consult us on everything, big or small. Looks like we need to hire a general manager to handle the company's external affairs.

I called my assistant and asked her to post a job ad for a director, preferably someone familiar with film and television production and with some management experience.

"Boss, I've been waiting for you to say that."

The assistant seemed to be liberated, no longer having to do several jobs by himself.

"I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year."

"You were so cool when you said that."

The assistant chuckled and made a joke before heading off to post the job advertisement.

The script for "Ip Man" has passed the review and has been published in the latest announcement from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Film and television companies, actors, and celebrities in the entertainment industry who were eager to see Xinghui fail immediately turned their attention to it.

"Contact Xiao Le to inquire about the investment and role details."

“Wang Jinghua’s contract is about to expire, and we must have a project that we can present to stabilize the situation.”

Meanwhile, a group of savvy female celebrities have already taken action.

They agreed to give Fan Binbin an audition opportunity, but Wang Luodan refused outright, saying she wasn't suitable.

"You don't have that intellectual and elegant temperament, and the female lead is just a pretty face."

Tian Xiaole stroked the soft, delicate body in his arms, making her breathless.

Upon hearing the news, Tang Yan immediately came to block the office door, wanting to play the female lead, taking advantage of Tian Xiaole's doting on her.

"I haven't acted in a long time."

Tang Yan's aggrieved tone reminded Tian Xiaole.

It's impossible for him to work alone to satisfy the contracted artists under his management, and it also depends on whether the role is suitable.

He hadn't had time to look at the project plan that Huayi had sent him.

"Have your assistant find the proposal that Huayi sent me, and see if there are any suitable roles for you."

Tian Xiaole gave instructions to Tang Yan in his arms, whose eyes lit up and she scurried off to do the task.

Soon, Tang Yan came in carrying the schedule, with her assistant following behind, looking aggrieved as her assistant had taken over her work.

Tian Xiaole took it and started looking through it.

It has to be said that this self-proclaimed number one film and television company in mainland China does have some real skills.

There are five films in development alone, in addition to "The Banquet," which has already cast its actors.

There's also the "Baby Project," co-invested by Huayi Brothers and Yinghuang Entertainment, with Chen Long confirmed as the male lead.

【Mo Gong】is also a big-budget production, jointly invested by Huayi Brothers, Hong Kong Island Pride, Little Days, and South Korea.

[Chicken and Dog in Turmoil] A low-budget comedy.

【The Ghost Inside】A romantic suspense film.

In terms of TV dramas, there were some that really caught Tian Xiaole's eye.

"Soldiers Sortie" is a phenomenal hit TV series.

The remaining shows, such as "Young Warriors of the Yang Clan," "The Deer and the Cauldron," and "Children of the Compound," didn't make much of a splash.

After reviewing them, only two projects could satisfy Tian Xiaole.

"The female lead for 'Rob-B-Hood' hasn't been decided yet, but the male lead is Jackie Chan. You'd be perfect for that role."

"This role is good, I'll play it."

Tang Yan nodded immediately. Being able to work with Jackie Chan was something most actors wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"In Chen Long's movies, the female leads are all just pretty faces; you should be prepared," Tian Xiaole reminded her.

The female lead in [Ip Man] is also just a pretty face, but Tang Yan's temperament is not suitable.

Jackie Chan has acted in movies for half his life, but few people remember the names of the female leads in his films.

I heard that before joining the production team, actresses are required not to steal the spotlight and to focus on playing supporting roles.

As we were talking, my phone vibrated.

"I'll get it for you."

Tang Yan moved quickly, handing over the phone on her desk and glancing at the caller ID.

If the phone rings at this time, it's definitely that sly fox again.

She was very satisfied with the result; it was Wang Zhonglei from Huayi who called.

Tian Xiaole saw through her little scheme.

"Xiao Le, don't forget about Huayi Brothers when it comes to allocating the shares for [Ip Man]."

"That's unfortunate, the allocation has already been completed. The film is a collaboration with Yinghuang, not directed by me, so I only brought China Film Group."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was stunned, not expecting to be rejected outright.

On second thought, it's a co-production project, and it's not directed by Tian Xiaole, so it doesn't matter.

"By the way, there are two projects that Huayi sent me that I'm quite interested in. I want the female lead in 'Rob-B-Hood,' and I want Luo Jin to play a role in 'Soldiers Sortie.'"

"【Soldiers Sortie】Apart from Xu Sanduo, the other characters are fine."

But for the female lead in "Rob-B-Hood," Jackie Chan specifically requested Gao Yuanyuan. He also served as the lead actress and producer, and the film's success was largely due to his involvement in box office revenue, so…

Wang Zhonglei patiently explained that he was afraid Tian Xiaole would insist on taking the role. Although he could arrange it, it would offend Cheng Long, and even if he did get the role, he wouldn't have a good time on set.

Tian Xiaole had also considered these points, and thus settled for second best:

"Then let's go with the female lead from 'Mo Gong,' that should be fine, right?"

Wang Zhonglei hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

The female lead was originally intended for Fan Binbin, but now they have to change her.

In comparison, the projects Tian Xiaole has are more important.

"Brother Le, you're so kind."

Tang Yan listened intently the whole time, not daring to breathe too loudly. Only after the phone call ended did she rush over.

"Where's the good?"

Tian Xiaole pinched her chin and asked.

"It's good everywhere."

Tang Yan took the initiative to kiss her.

···
They exchanged a few sweet nothings, but nothing happened. The assistant knocked and came in, saying someone had come for an interview for the director position.

After seeing Tang Yan off, she left satisfied, having secured the opportunity to play the lead role in a movie.

Tian Xiaole looked at the resume as she walked towards the conference room.

Chen Zhixi graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 04 and has acted in the TV series "Walking Out of the Blue River".

And that was it; the resume was clean and concise.

I think I've heard of this person's name before, but my memory of it is vague.

As I was about to enter the meeting room, my phone vibrated in my pocket; it was an unfamiliar number.

After thinking about it for a moment, I answered the call anyway.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello Director Tian, ​​I'm Cheng Long."

Jackie Chan's Mandarin is definitely among the most standard of any actor from Hong Kong.

"Brother Cheng Long, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I heard from Mr. Wang that you need to recommend actresses for the 'Baby Project'. I would welcome both part-time and lead actresses."

During the Cannes Film Festival, Chen Long's film "The Myth" also went there for promotion.

He took a liking to Gao Yuanyuan at first sight, feeling that she had a kind of gentle on the outside but strong on the inside temperament. The co-production film just happened to need a mainland actress, so he took the initiative to invite her to cooperate.

"That's true. I heard you've already made your choice, so forget it."

"Given Director Tian's discerning eye, recommending actors would definitely be more suitable..."

"..."

···
Tian Xiaole smiled as she looked at the phone that had just been hung up.

I pushed open the office door and saw the people who had come for the interview.

She was dressed in a black urban suit, with her hair down her back. She appeared to be less than 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly long face, a high hairline, and a rather large mouth.

As an actress, she's not particularly pretty, and her demeanor isn't great either.

"Hello, Director Tian."

Chen Zhixi stood up to call for someone, appearing somewhat nervous.

She graduated from the Central Academy of Drama a year ago and acted in a TV series, but because her appearance was not outstanding, she never had a chance, so she wanted to change careers.

"Sit down, and tell me why you're considering a transition to working behind the scenes?"

"First, I'm not pretty enough, so my appearance has cost me a lot of opportunities."

Chen Zhixi gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued:

"Being an actor is too passive, like being a commodity, only having the option to be chosen, and you're also vulnerable to unspoken rules. Working behind the scenes makes it easier to achieve creative freedom..."

That was very frank and direct.

Tian Xiaole also remembered that Chen Zhixi's personal experience was very inspiring.

She went from being an actress with no background to becoming the top female producer in mainland China in just four years.

She was the producer of "Lost in Thailand," the first film to gross over 10 billion yuan at the mainland box office.

She was the executive producer and producer of films such as "Hi, Mom" ​​and "Detective Chinatown".

The total box office revenue of the films produced has exceeded 350 billion.

Named "Asian Film Producer of the Year" by The Hollywood Reporter.

He has a very keen business sense and is good at creating blockbuster movies.

"Xiao Le Pictures has a very wide range of businesses, covering films from mainland China, Hollywood, and Hong Kong, and may also be involved in television drama production in the future."
As a director, I sometimes get very busy and need someone to help coordinate and summarize tasks. With your current experience, I imagine it would be difficult for you to handle, but I'm willing to give you a chance.
"The producer of 'Ip Man' is willing to let you give it a try."

Chen Zhixi's expression kept changing. At first, she was frustrated and blamed herself for not being capable enough. But when she heard that she could be given a chance, she was somewhat incredulous.

As the director of Xiaole Pictures, she knew what this position meant.

She would be fawned over and flattered by countless actors and celebrities.

Having come from an acting background herself, she knows all too well that some actors are willing to give anything to get a role.

"Thank you for your trust, Director Tian. I will definitely not let you down."

Chen Zhixi bent over at a 90-degree angle.

"Then start working as soon as possible."

The mainland film and television market lacks everything, especially talent, which is even more scarce.

Tian Xiaole doesn't mind training him in advance.

···
It's time to consider casting as an actor for [Ip Man].

Tian Xiaole called her assistant and asked her to contact Zhao Wenzhuo, as they were preparing to cast him as Ip Man.

With a resolute face and a robust physique, he exudes an aura of righteousness wherever he stands.

Within a day, Zhao Wenzhuo, having received the invitation, rushed over from Hong Kong Island.

In recent years, kung fu films have declined, and kung fu actors are having a tough time, especially someone like him who comes from mainland China.

After transitioning to television dramas in 2000, she made guest appearances in two dramas in 2003-2004, and starred in "The Storm Riders 2" in 2005. That's all.

In the conference room, Tian Xiaole met Zhao Wenzhuo. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and short hair, and his appearance was impeccable.

"Director Tian."

"Please sit down. Did you receive the notification?"

Tian Xiaole gestured, indicating that she would sit opposite him as well.

“My agent told me that many actors in Hong Kong were eyeing the role of Ip Man, but I didn’t expect you to ask me to play it.”

When Zhang Wenzhuo said this, it felt like a windfall.

"Act well, and if the box office is good, this will become a film series," Tian Xiaole advised.

Of course, while I have high hopes for him, if the sequel demands an exorbitant salary, I will not hesitate to replace him.

Zhao Wenzhuo was very excited; he wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

"Take your agent with you to sign the contract."

The signing went smoothly, and the 200 million yuan salary was very low, lower than that of other martial arts actors of the same period, given his background in mainland China.

"Let's publish the audition requirements for actresses."

Tian Xiaole instructed his assistant.

"Okay, boss."

The assistant had just left when Huo Wenxi called.

"Director Tian, ​​the Ye family has given their authorization, but I need to serve as the film's honorary advisor to ensure the film's content is well-received. Also, the film's investment budget has been finalized: 40 million Hong Kong dollars."

"No problem, it's just an extra salary, and the budget is reasonable. Let's get someone to come and sign the contract. By the way, China Film Group also took 20%."

Yinghuang's entry into the mainland market is inseparable from China Film Group, which presents them with an opportunity to connect. Huo Wenxi naturally understood this immediately.

"Director Tian, ​​have the male and female leads been chosen? We've been asking around for actors in Hong Kong."

"Who is there?"

"Those with martial arts skills are all asking about Donnie Yen..."

"Hehe, Zhao Wenzhuo has been cast as the male lead, but the female lead hasn't been chosen yet."

Hearing Tian Xiaole's choice, Huo Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief; Zhao Wenzhuo could be considered a half-Hong Kong actor.

If both the male and female leads were from mainland China, those Hong Kong actors who consider themselves superior would probably be very wary.

On Hong Kong Island.

Yang Shoucheng was in a state of utter distress.

At some point, news of Tian Xiaole's collaboration with Yinghuang was leaked.

Meanwhile, the title of the script was also revealed.

【Ip Man】, a commercial kung fu film.

Many Hong Kong media outlets, eager for a good spectacle, cornered Wang Jiawei for an interview, wanting to hear his opinion.

The project "The Grandmaster: Ip Man" was initiated back in 03.

But two years have passed, and the preliminary work is still in the planning stage.

"You said it yourself, they make commercial films, and I make art films. We focus on different things."

Wang Jiawei, wearing sunglasses, answered reporters' questions with a sour expression.

The clash of themes made him very uncomfortable, and he was also known for being slow to act. The other party would definitely release their film first, and by the time his film was released, the audience would probably have lost interest.

He had considered having Ip Man's descendants stop the other party from filming, but Ying Wong was not someone he could afford to offend, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Actors with martial arts skills in Hong Kong are all inquiring about the project.

Co-productions with mainland China implicitly assume that there is one male and one female lead on each side.

It's natural to assume that the male lead would be played by an actor from Hong Kong.

"Chairman Yang, Director Tian has already chosen Zhao Wenzhuo to play Ip Man, but the female lead has not yet been determined."

"Then pass the word down and tell those with ulterior motives to stop asking around. The male lead has been confirmed."

"Okay, should we reveal that Zhao Wenzhuo is in the role?" Huo Wenxi asked.

Yang Shoucheng shook his head: "Let Director Tian announce it. Let's not make decisions on our own."

···
After the script for [Ip Man] was approved,

The audition news is something that mainland actors are eagerly awaiting.

Without keeping them waiting long, Xiaole Pictures released the audition requirements for actresses.

Tall and slender, gentle and intellectual, with dignified manners...

There were no audition requests from male actors, which was unexpected.

According to Tian Xiaole's hiring principles, he only uses mainland actors, without exception.

Is it because this is a co-production that he also follows the unwritten rule of choosing actresses from mainland China and actors from Hong Kong?
Many film and television company executives called Tian Xiaole to inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Wang, please stop making wild guesses. The male actor has already been chosen, so the audition information hasn't been released yet. Yes, he's from mainland China."

"Haha...this is the Director Tian I know. By the way, regarding the investment, we really don't need Enlight Media's help to share the costs."

"Let's skip this project and do it another time."

Tian Xiaole refused Wang Changtian, and the other party did not complain at all.

The latter had heard that Huayi, in order to maintain its cooperative relationship with Tian Xiaole, had handed over its own filming projects for him to choose from.

Enlight Media doesn't have many production projects, so they don't have much confidence in their offer to invest.

After hanging up with Wang Changtian, more calls came in.

When so many people came to ask, Tian Xiaole got annoyed and simply announced it directly.

Soon after, Xiaole Pictures' account updated its content.

"Welcome Mr. Vincent Zhao to the cast of [Ip Man], where he will play the role of Ip Man!"

The news was met with enthusiastic praise from netizens as soon as it was announced.

Although Zhao Wenzhuo works in Hong Kong, he is a true mainland Chinese, a fact widely acknowledged by netizens.

Aside from netizens and the mainland entertainment industry, who expressed their relief, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was devastated.

Is this an attempt to break the unspoken rules of co-productions?
Dissatisfied!

complaint!

What is Yinghuang thinking?

There were many dissatisfactions, but Yinghuang resolved them quickly.

The only consolation is that Zhao Wenzhuo debuted in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Mainland actresses were overjoyed, no longer worried about being bullied on set, and those who met the audition requirements all sent their resumes to Xiaole Pictures.

Inevitably, the call from the acting class teacher at the Beijing Film Academy came as scheduled.

They said there were many qualified students, so they were being given a chance.

What else could Tian Xiaole say? He just told them to send in their resumes and that he would pay close attention to them.

Meanwhile, a press conference attracted a lot of attention.
Huang Shengyi held a press conference in Shanghai, accusing Star Overseas of forcing her to accept roles, unilaterally announcing the termination of her contract again, and filing a lawsuit in the local court, seeking 100 million yuan in damages.

Subsequently, Star Overseas filed a countersuit in Hong Kong Island, claiming that Huang Shengyi had breached his contract by accepting private work, such as a photo shoot for "Men's Wear".

The two sides traded blows and began the second round.

···
Gao Yuanyuan has been feeling down lately, with both her career and love life going poorly.

During Cannes, Jackie Chan personally invited her to star as the female lead in "Rob-B-Hood".

I received a notification today that a female lead has been chosen.

She never expected that someone as big a star as Jackie Chan would play tricks on her.

I thought my acting career would go smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter setbacks so quickly.

In terms of her love life, she boldly admitted in Cannes that she had been in a relationship with Zhang Yadong for five years.

Netizens immediately pointed out that she was a mistress who knowingly became a third party.

The man had not yet officially divorced his wife at the time.

She endured all of this, deeply attracted by Zhang Yadong's talent and temperament, and always wanted to have a child with him.

Not long ago, the man was photographed on a sweet date with Xu Jinlei.

A love triangle rumor has surfaced.

The man then publicly stated that he was a non-marriage advocate.

Gao Yuanyuan was dumped unilaterally, without any prior notice.

Her relationship, which was based on the premise of marriage, ultimately became a joke.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to find someone to cry to.

Seeing the audition requirements of Xiaole Pictures, she felt that she was a good fit and, hoping for the best, submitted her resume.

She wanted to numb herself with work.
