I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Originally, the female lead in "The Forbidden Kingdom" was supposed to be her older sister, but for some reason, Liu Yifei got involved and the role was taken away.

It would be strange if Li Shuangbing wasn't angry to see the female lead he had just gotten snatched away.

Logically speaking, Liu Tianxian shouldn't have been able to snatch the lead role from Li Shuangbing, since Li Shuangbing is much more famous than Liu Tianxian.

Although Liu Tianxian became a sensation in the country because of her role as Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

But compared to Li Shuangbing, there is still a gap.

But what can you do when Liu Tianxian has powerful backers?
Speaking of which, we have to mention Liu Tianxian's godfather, Chen Jingfei.

This business tycoon is Liu Tianxian's most important benefactor.

This godfather wasn't someone who just acknowledged someone and then ignored them; he paved the way for Liu Tianxian to enter the entertainment industry.

Chen Jingfei's actions were truly audacious.

He co-founded Red Starwood Media Company with Liu Tianxian's mother.

To everyone's surprise, this company only had one artist, Liu Tianxian.

Just like when Lu Zheng founded Starlight Brilliant Company, there was only one artist, Da Tian Tian.

Under Chen Jingfei's management, Liu Tianxian, a newcomer to the industry, grew like a rocket. After successfully being admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, she continued to receive offers for major IP dramas, such as The Story of a Noble Family, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and Chinese Paladin.

It has to be said that Chen Jingfei has a really good eye for choosing scripts. Every role she plays is a perfect match for Liu Yifei's temperament, allowing her to showcase her most charming side based on her true self.

However, Chen Jingfei's support for Liu Tianxian goes beyond this.

When Liu Tianxian turned 18, Chen Jingfei spent 1.8 million yuan to hold the "Crystal Princess · Philippines and Vietnam 18th Birthday Party" at the State Guest House.

The guests present at the time were all heavyweight figures in the entertainment industry.

The significance of this birthday party goes beyond its surface. After the party, Liu Tianxian signed a contract with Little Days Records and went there to study for half a year, officially entering the singing industry.

Despite her less-than-smooth musical career, this opened up more possibilities for Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian was able to get the female lead role in "The Forbidden Kingdom" thanks to Chen Jingfei's great efforts; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to snatch the female lead role from Li Shuangbing.

Unfortunately, neither Liu Yifei nor Chen Jingfei knew that "The Forbidden Kingdom" was a terrible movie, a Hollywood film that was trying to make money in China.

In another version of the story, after making this film, Liu Yifei not only failed to gain fame and fortune, but also fell into a low point in her acting career.

I took on several film and television projects, but none of them were very successful.

Although Liu Tianxian suffered setbacks, she did not give up. Instead, she chose to work harder to hone her acting skills.

In every role, Liu Yifei gives her all, never taking on multiple projects at once, and always showing great respect to directors and co-stars.

This kind of dedication is something that very few people in the entertainment industry possess.

"Sister, why don't we go find Brother Tao? See if he can do anything?" Li Xue suggested, her mind racing.

The "Brother Tao" that Li Xue mentioned is Li Shuangbing's boyfriend and also her benefactor.

Li Shuangbing's rapid rise to fame in the entertainment industry was all thanks to the support of three benefactors.

One of them is Ren Quan, her fellow villager and best friend. Under Ren Quan's careful guidance, Li Shuangbing's acting skills have gradually improved.

Ren Quan also took her to perform in the community to earn money.

Li Shuangbing won a national sketch comedy competition, which laid the foundation for his career in the entertainment industry.

The second benefactor was the second man Li Shuangbing encountered, and the two developed a romantic relationship. This boyfriend of Li Shuangbing was a real estate tycoon, who also helped her open the door to resources in the entertainment industry, allowing her to meet industry bigwigs such as the Wang brothers.

With the introduction of this "benefactor," Li Shuangbing signed with Huayi Film and Television Company and began to make a name for himself in the film and television industry.

If things were to unfold according to the alternate reality, Li Shuangbing would break up with this 'benefactor' this year.

Although they broke up, Li Shuangbing's ex-boyfriend is still supporting him through investments and other means.

To be honest, this benefactor was still a 'sycophant'.

Li Shuangbing's third "benefactor" was her younger sister, Li Xue.

After Li Shuangbing became famous in the entertainment industry, she did not forget the people around her. She let her younger sister, Li Xue, work with her. Under the guidance of Wang Jinhua, Li Xue grew into an outstanding agent and became another "benefactor" on Li Shuangbing's road to fame.

With her innate business acumen and keen sense of the entertainment industry, Li Xue began selecting important works for Li Shuangbing that would allow her to shine.

As an agent, Li Xue's first challenge was to select the most suitable role for Li Shuangbing from hundreds of casting options.

After careful consideration, Li Xue chose the highly popular TV series "A World Without Thieves".

The drama not only features a dramatic and suspenseful plot, but also a very well-developed character of Li Shuangbing.

Under Li Xue's meticulous planning, Li Shuangbing portrayed this complex role with ease, becoming one of the strongest contenders for the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

"A World Without Thieves" opened the door to both fame and critical acclaim for Li Shuangbing, and Li Xue decided to press her advantage.

She once again selected from a large number of new scripts those that could fully showcase Li Shuangbing's acting skills.

She has appeared in works such as "The Knot" and "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan". The first two films earned Li Shuangbing the Huabiao Award for Best Actress and the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, among other domestic and international awards.

The collaboration on "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" also marked Li Shuangbing's first step into Hollywood.

Besides film and television, Li Xue has also put a lot of effort into advertising endorsements.

She first secured the Asia-Pacific ambassadorship for Montblanc jewelry for Li Shuangbing, and then, unprecedentedly, made him the ambassador for the international luxury brand Gucci in China.

This undoubtedly greatly enhanced Li Shuangbing's reputation and popularity both domestically and internationally.

It can be said that Li Xue was the one who helped Li Shuangbing the most in his acting career.

Li Xue's contribution to Li Shuangbing's future success as an internationally renowned actor is undeniable.

However, Li Xue has not yet matured and is not of much help to Li Shuangbing.

"Walk."

When Li Xue mentioned going to find Brother Tao, Li Shuangbing felt a little resistant. After all, she had already decided to break up with her boyfriend and didn't want him to help her anymore. But when she thought about Chen Kai's new film, this slight resistance immediately disappeared.

……

Cheng Sheng looked at Li Xiaoran, who was a little drunk, and then at Zhao Yazhi, whose face was flushed, and shook his head helplessly.

After paying the bill, Cheng Sheng asked Zhao Yazhi, "Sister Zhi, what's your room number?"

"Xiaoran lives in 906, and I live in 908," Zhao Yazhi said, leaning on the table.

Cheng Sheng helped Li Xiaoran up and said to Zhao Yazhi, "I'll take you back first, and then I'll leave the hotel."

"Ah."

Zhao Yazhi hadn't drunk as much as Li Xiaoran and remained sober. Without needing Cheng Sheng's help, she followed him out of the private room. (End of Chapter)
