This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

[I knew that bumish guy must have bewitched Nazha, that look in his eyes made me so jealous!]

Don't say anymore, the wind tonight is so desolate, it chills my heart to the bone!

I've been dumped again. After being dumped once because of Dilraba, I've now been dumped again because of a washed-up actor!

[Just as I suspected, that slut Nazha got this role by seducing my washed-up actor. It's outrageous!]

[Exactly! If it weren't for some unknown actor's interest, this role would never have been hers!]

[Judging by her love-struck appearance, this washed-up actress must have made the wrong choice this time. Isn't my Dilraba better than her?]

[Do you guys think it's possible that the lesser-known actor chose Gulnazar for reasons we can't see? Just like when Lü Ming chose Dilraba, we didn't believe she could play the role well. Maybe Gulnazar can play the role of 'Shirley Yang' well?]

[Nazha's fans, stop defending her! Don't think you're right just because you write a lot! Do you even believe what you say?]

Why don't you believe it? They're a perfect couple, so why should you jealous toads say such things?

Although there are still some doubts online about Lü Ming's choice of Gulnazar to play the female lead in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", compared to the shock when it was first revealed, netizens are now slowly accepting it.

After all, the selection has already been made, and no matter how much they question it online, they can't change the situation.

It's important to understand that most drama fans don't actually care about the CP rumors between Lü Ming and Gulnazar. Their initial concern was simply that Gulnazar might not be able to play the role well and might ruin such a good drama.

Thanks to the wildly popular "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," screenwriter Lü Ming's presence in the eyes of most netizens is now synonymous with high-quality web dramas.

This is why "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" has attracted so much attention from netizens even before filming began; it's all because everyone believes that Lü Ming will once again bring us an excellent work.

Now that things have been settled, all they can do is hope that Nazha won't disappoint Lü Ming and them, the netizens. They don't expect her to enhance the quality of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," but they'll accept it as long as she doesn't drag the show down.

After interview footage from the opening ceremony of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" was uploaded online, discussions about the series became much more heated.

Compared to the formulaic interviews with Lü Ming and Gulnazar, netizens were clearly more interested in the stories between Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen, especially after learning that Zhang Songwen had hung up the video call on Lü Ming as if he were a fraudster, which made everyone laugh.

[I am Qin Shi Huang, send me money!]

[Hahaha! You've finally met your match, getting mistaken for a scammer!]

Did you hear what Zhang Songwen said? 'Young man, with your looks, you'd be better off as a livestreaming influencer than a con artist!' That's brilliant!

[I never expected Lü Ming to value him so much, personally calling to invite him. I hope he won't let us down!]

Don't worry, I specifically went to watch this person's previous performances, and their acting skills were impeccable!

[Really? Can someone post a link so I can check it out?]

I just want to know how powerful this person is to warrant Lu Ming inviting him so many times?

【.】

The online discussions continue, and are even more heated than before.

However, Lu Ming and his team did not pay attention to the online discussions at the moment. After the interview following the opening ceremony, filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" officially began.

The plot of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is actually not complicated. It tells the story of Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi accepting the invitation of the female lead "Shirley Yang" who is far away overseas, and accompanying everyone to the depths of the desert to search for the ruins of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom.

Due to the filming schedule, the shoot began directly when the group arrived at this small town on the edge of the desert.

"Does this look good on me?"

Having just changed into the costume of Shirley Yang from the drama, Nazha came to Lu Ming, who was sitting next to director Lu Hao, turned around, and asked Lu Ming with some anticipation.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Lu Ming nodded, quite satisfied with Nazha's outfit.

Compared to the actress who played 'Shirley Yang' in her previous life, Nazha's looks and figure are definitely better. Especially after changing into this outfit, the feeling is instantly overwhelming, as if 'Shirley Yang' from the book is standing right in front of you.

Leaving aside Lü Ming, even Lu Hao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but nod in agreement. Putting aside Nazha's acting skills, her appearance alone was absolutely flawless.

After Lü Ming finished her makeup, Lu Hao announced that the filming of the first scene of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" had officially begun.

As Lu Hao shouted "ACTION!", only two people, "Hu Bayi" played by Lü Ming and "Wang Pangzi" played by Zhang Songwen, walked into the frame.

Soon, when Lu Hao uttered the word "good," the onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment.

"So strong!"

Naza looked at the performance between Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen with a shocked expression and said something involuntarily.

Naza could never have imagined that someone's acting skills could reach such a superb level. Compared to Lu Ming's performance in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" that she had seen on TV, the shock of watching it live was far greater than that of watching it on TV.

Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen's previous performances even gave Naza a feeling of watching her teachers in acting classes at school, leaving her wanting more.

"Yes, that's incredible!"

"How did they develop such acting skills?"

Even Meng Ziyi, who came to play the female student in the archaeological team, was also shocked. After glancing at Nazha next to her, she couldn't help but sigh.

Meng Ziyi was very excited to have landed such an important supporting role.

Given her current status and experience in the industry, she would never have gotten such a role if it weren't for her already good relationship with Lü Ming.

Meng Ziyi originally fantasized that after joining the cast of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", she could showcase her acting skills just like Lü Ming did in "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" and become an overnight sensation.

But after seeing Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen's acting skills, Meng Ziyi's little schemes instantly vanished.

With her acting skills, let alone comparing her to that freak Lu Ming, even Zhang Songwen, the one chosen by Lu Ming, is miles ahead of her.

As for Lu Hao, he felt even more confident about "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City".

Originally, Lu Hao was somewhat puzzled when Lü Ming chose Zhang Songwen, a minor actor in the entertainment industry, to play the important second male lead, "Fatty Wang." After all, given Zhang Songwen's reputation in the industry at the time, Lu Hao didn't really know much about Zhang Songwen's abilities.

But after seeing Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen's previous performances, there is absolutely no doubt left.

Although Zhang Songwen is not very famous in the industry, his acting skills are in no way inferior to those of the veteran actors in the industry, and his acting skills are very superb.

In just a short performance, he brought the slick and greedy Fatty Wang to life. Lu Hao really didn't know where Lü Ming had found such a talented actor. His acting skills were not only good enough for a supporting role, but they were also comparable to those of the main actors.

"Let's eat some melon seeds!"

When Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen came down to rest, Nazha quickly brought over a chair, then took a slice of watermelon and walked over to Lü Ming's side.

After Lü Ming sat down, she squatted down next to him, looked up at him with admiration.

As for Nazha, although she knew that Lü Ming was very strong, she had only seen him on TV and it was nothing compared to seeing him perform live.

She finally understood why Lü Ming was so popular now.

Leaving aside his looks, Lü Ming's perfect appearance is a game-changer in the entire entertainment industry; otherwise, he wouldn't have captivated Gulnazar and Dilraba.

With such a perfect appearance and such almost divine acting skills, Nazha seems to have fallen even more in love with Lü Ming.

We absolutely cannot let Lü Ming go to Dilraba!

For Gulnazar, this role in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" is not just a stepping stone to a higher level of her career, but more importantly, it allows her to spend nearly a few months alone with Lü Ming, which is the most important thing.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

After seeing Lü Ming sit down and start eating melon, Nazha asked him with great concern.

"Mmm, sweet!"

Lu Ming wiped the watermelon juice from his mouth, then smiled and said to Nazha.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Nazha smiled slightly, her eyes seemingly narrowing together.

Watching this scene unfold, Meng Ziyi and the others became increasingly convinced of the rumors circulating online.

Given their current state, no one would believe that there was no relationship between them.

Soon, after a short break, filming resumed.

Compared to the smooth filming process with Lü Ming and Zhang Songwen, Lu Hao quickly became anxious after Nazha and Meng Ziyi joined the shoot.

"Nazha, your relationship with Lü Ming is just that of acquaintances right now. You don't need to look at him with such adoration!"

"Don't get so close, keep a certain distance. You two aren't a couple!"

"Eyes, eyes! I need you to maintain a curious gaze, not a greedy gaze that wants to devour Lü Ming!"

"Take a break!"

Soon, with Lu Hao announcing a break, Nazha walked listlessly to Lu Ming's side, her head drooping and her face somewhat dejected. She asked Lu Ming with some doubt, "Was my performance too bad?"

Naza knew that there was a big gap between her acting skills and those of Lü Ming and others, but it wasn't until filming actually started that Naza realized just how exaggerated the gap really was.

Even when facing Lu Ming and the others' performances, Nazha couldn't keep up and kept getting out of character.

Do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?

Lu Ming looked at the listless Nazha beside him and said very seriously.

"Tell the truth!"

Naza looked up at Lü Ming, hoping to get some encouragement from him.

"Transfer money!"

Lu Ming took out his phone and placed it in front of Nazha, then said to her.

"What do you mean?"

Naza stared at Lü Ming's actions, momentarily confused, and asked him with a hint of doubt.

"Telling the truth can easily offend people. As a big star, I have to charge for my comments and praise!"

Lu Ming spoke to Nazha in a serious tone, and his solemn expression caught Nazha off guard. Instinctively, she took out her phone and transferred 52,000 yuan to Lu Ming.

"To be honest, there's really nothing to say about your acting skills. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that you graduated from the Beijing Film Academy!"

Lu Ming put the 52,000 yuan that had been transferred into his account, and then spoke to Nazha, who was looking at him with curiosity.

Is it really that bad?

Upon hearing Lü Ming's words, Nazha's face darkened, and the hopeful look in her eyes instantly dimmed, making her look like a wronged kitten.

"It's really bad!"

Lu Ming nodded in a very straightforward manner, then rubbed Nazha's head beside him and continued, "Do you want to hear what a lie is?"

After saying that, he took out his phone again and placed it in front of Nazha, his meaning was very clear.

Looking at the phone that Lü Ming was holding out, Nazha nodded speechlessly, but still obediently transferred another 52,000 yuan to Lü Ming.

For Gulnazar, 50,000 yuan is nothing. You have to know that as the female lead in this "Candle in the Tomb - The Lost City", Gulnazar did not act for free like Dilraba did.

After all, this time, "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City" has two major backers, iQiyi and Tencent Video, so Lü Ming has no need to save money.

Moreover, considering Lü Ming's influence, although the salary paid to Nazha wasn't the highest among female stars in the industry, it wasn't worse than that of a typical top-tier female star. In total, Nazha received over ten million yuan.

So even if it costs more than 50,000 yuan to listen to Lu Ming's encouraging lies, it's worth it for Nazha.

"The lie is that your acting is just like that, not much different from Sister Meng's!"

After receiving the transfer from Nazha, Lü Ming pointed to Meng Ziyi, who had just been severely criticized by Lu Hao, and said to Nazha.

"Brother, do you really have to drag me into this?"

Having just been criticized by Lu Hao and feeling somewhat annoyed, Sister Meng glanced at Lu Ming beside her, who was speaking in a way that was practically stabbing her in the back, and said with a hint of helplessness. (End of Chapter)
