Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

The two best buddies are different, whether it's Huang Bo or Xu Guangtou.

They are all character actors, and they have all risen to the ranks of top-tier actors.

The former is just that his appearance makes him very selective about the roles he plays; if the role doesn't suit him, even the best acting skills are useless.

Huang Bo, who rose to the ranks of A-list actors last year with "Crazy Racer," naturally wants to solidify his status.

Due to his age and temperament, the latter was only cast in supporting roles, and any leading roles he was invited to play were in television dramas.

Now that they want to transition into directing, building connections becomes unavoidable for the two of them.

However, there were too many people surrounding Wu Yang, and the two best buddies couldn't squeeze in.

I can't just leave after squeezing in half, so this is really tough.

Despite the compliments from everyone, Wu Yang remained humble and greeted everyone with a smile, chatting with each person as if they were old friends.

To outsiders, Wu Yang is an internationally renowned director who achieved fame at a young age and is humble and polite.

But as someone who knows his own situation, Wu Yang, as a member of the transmigrated army, was well aware of the nature of the entertainment industry.

Once you become famous, you'll be surrounded by kind people; once you're not famous, even people you've never met will want to kick you while you're down.

If you're surrounded by compliments but don't have many people around you, it means you're just popular and can only bring returns to investors.

If you are surrounded not only by compliments but also by a large crowd, it means that you can bring returns to investors.

It can also provide jobs for many people, such as directors like Wu Yang. As long as you are in his film, even a supporting role will be promoted!

Zhang Ruoyun and others are the best examples. They went from being nobody in the entertainment industry to starring in two dramas about Wu Yang.

Due to the great success of "First Love", she rose to the ranks of third-tier movie stars.

With this achievement, Zhang Ruoyun and others, with the help of Huayi, have now received offers to play the leading male and female roles in TV dramas.

If "Love Like a Bouquet," which is released today, is successful, these people's status will rise even higher.

As a celebrity, having works and popularity means having commercial value.

……

The banquet started at 9 a.m. and ended at 2 p.m.

Because no film was being shown, fans and media left after entering.

After the banquet ended, Wu Yang, as the main character, naturally had to see the guests off.

The banquet didn't truly end until only Wu Yang and Liu Yifei remained in front of the banquet hall.

"Phew... It's finally over! Come on, let's eat something, I'm starving."

Even as she complained, Liu Yifei's eyes still held a smile, and she radiated happiness.

At the banquet just now, because Wu Yang was indifferent to all the female stars, they wanted to get on his good side.

The only way to get involved is with Liu Yifei, her husband. Liu Yifei entered the industry in 02 and has worked with many people since then.

Even if they don't have any scenes together, they're still in the same show, so they can always find something to talk about.

Liu Yifei is naturally good at socializing. People who come around her are all very nice and talkative, and the conversation always revolves around her. As long as they're not trying to steal her man, Liu Yifei will respond enthusiastically.

So at the banquet in the morning, although it was Wu Yang's female companion, the people surrounding her were not familiar with Wu Yang.

Liu Yifei would always talk to people first, then introduce them to Wu Yang, and they would exchange a few pleasantries before exchanging phone numbers.

More than 50 male and female celebrities praised her for her good taste, and the men praised her for her acting skills. Even though she was very tired, she was still very happy.

Of course, Liu Yifei knew that all of this was caused by Wu Yang, but what could she do? She was Wu Yang's girlfriend.

It's only natural to enjoy the attention and care your boyfriend gives you.

I've seen those directors' wives in the industry; sometimes their words carry more weight than the directors themselves.

"You eat first, I need to rest a bit, I feel like I'm about to fall apart!"

The roadshow, which started in the small year, involved a tight schedule and heavy workload, and involved flying to six first-tier cities in the north and south over seven days.

My flight arrived at 5 a.m. today, taking me from Shanghai back to Beijing. After landing, I came here immediately.

In terms of endurance, Chinese men are indeed no match for women.

At least Liu Yifei still has the energy to eat, while Wu Yang can only slump in a chair and close his eyes to rest.

At 5 p.m., Taozi drove Wu Yang and Liu Yifei back to Wu Yang's newly renovated villa.

Wu Yang has only visited this detached villa once since he bought it.

This is the second time we've come here, because Liu's mother was involved in the entire renovation process and even commissioned a third party to conduct the inspection.

The original plan was to complete the renovation in 8 months, with the renovation to be finished in December last year. After 4 months of airing out, the house would be ready to move in by May Day.

This is a normal renovation process; however, there are also abnormal ones.

The so-called "abnormal" means paying extra money, such as overtime pay for the workers, which naturally shortens the construction period.

Even if the money is right and the renovation is done in a detached villa without affecting others, the work can continue 24 hours a day.

Wu Yang subsequently increased the renovation budget, directly halving the construction period. After third-party testing and acceptance, the odor had been dissipated for more than 5 months.

Wu Yang deliberately chose to check in today, and when it was time to get off the bus, he even let Taozi leave alone.

The day before the Lunar New Year, the "One-Zhang-Red" attack was launched, but it was completely repelled this morning.

Wu Yang and Liu Yifei held hands affectionately as they toured the villa from top to bottom and inside to outside.

This detached three-story villa has a total of 11 rooms, 3 bathrooms on each floor, and is fully furnished with all necessary furniture and appliances.

There is a garden in front and a private swimming pool in the back. The villa walls are 3 meters high, and the neighbors on the left and right are 100 meters apart. The isolation zone is surrounded by various green plants.

Because Liu Yifei decided on the decoration style, Wu Yang only offered a few suggestions, and now that he has finished watching...

Wu Yang and Liu Yifei were both very satisfied with the detached villa.

Finally, the two of them went hand in hand to the master bedroom on the third floor, where Peach had already prepared a candlelight dinner.

In the candlelight, Wu Yang saw Liu Yifei's beautiful smile.

Every flicker of the candlelight was the rhythm of Wu Yang's heartbeat.

At this moment, the candlelight made the scene even more romantic, as if to make our love blossom even more.

The melodious background music made their eyes meet.

After dinner, the two danced gracefully, and then embraced...

(50,000 words omitted here!)

……

At 5 a.m. the next morning, Wu Yang was awakened by the urge to urinate. The first thing he felt when he regained consciousness was that he had lost feeling in his left arm.

Looking down at Liu Yifei in his arms, Wu Yang noticed some tear stains on her cheeks and her slightly furrowed brows, which made him feel a pang of heartache.

However, the ever-expanding peripheral light reminded Wu Yang that there was no time to lose!

He could only gently lift Liu Yifei's head to free his arms.

It felt like countless tiny ants were crawling all over my left arm; it was an absolutely awful feeling!

Despite feeling unwell, Wu Yang got up, threw back the covers, and quickly walked towards the bathroom.

After the danger of the explosion was averted, I washed my hands and returned to the bedroom, where I saw a pair of bright eyes.
