Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

Yang Mi sat in the car on her way home, watching the lights flash by outside the window, a slight smile playing on her lips. The next second, she frowned slightly, because her lips were a little sore.

However, these were just minor hardships, and she didn't care at all. She knew that she had already achieved her goal for tonight.

She appeared when Zhang Yang needed comfort the most, offering support and warmth in her own way, and subtly reminding him who truly cared about him.

As for that old woman Fan Bingbing, in Yang Mi's eyes, she was just a passerby in Zhang Yang's life who would eventually leave, while she, Yang Mi, would be the one by Zhang Yang's side. She was determined to take the position of Mrs. Zhang.

A day later, Zhang Yang was still clueless and had no idea who was targeting him. Although Yang Mi had comforted him with her magnanimity last night, he was still very angry.

The phone rang suddenly. Zhang Yang picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.

who is it?

Zhang Yang frowned, but still pressed the answer button.

The voice on the other end of the phone was an altered electronic voice, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.

"Mr. Zhang, how's the investigation into the video going?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed: "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is whether you want to know who's trying to get you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I'm giving you a free tip: the video was filmed by someone who took it by accident, and then a paparazzi from Hong Kong found out about it and sold the video to Next Media in Hong Kong."

Zhang Yang was deeply shocked, but his voice remained calm: "Why should I believe what you're saying is true?"

Believe it or not, I've told you everything!

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because I can't stand people treating everyone like fools. Mr. Zhang, you'd better watch yourself."

After the other party finished speaking, they hung up the phone immediately.

Hearing the busy tone coming from his phone, Zhang Yang frowned deeply.

Hong Kong? Next Media?

Zhang Yang knew about this media company; it was Fatty Li's company, a garbage company that didn't do anything. However, he had no connection with Fatty Li and no grudge against him, so why would that piece of trash target him?

Zhang Yang used all his connections to verify the information provided by the mysterious person, and the result sent chills down his spine. It turned out that the person who wanted to ruin his reputation was indeed Fatty Li from Next Media.

However, after confirming this, Zhang Yang did not give up criticizing "If You Are the One". After all, Wang Xiaoer is very vengeful, and since they had already made enemies, there was no need for him to feel wronged.

Faced with the instruction to continue criticizing "If You Are the One," assistant Sun Yu cautiously suggested, "Boss, shouldn't we temporarily ease tensions with Huayi? After all, Huayi is the number one entertainment company in China."

Zhang Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, his back view tall and solitary.

"Easing?"

He scoffed, "I just want Huayi to back down. Do you think they can resolve their grudges with me? Since they can't resolve their grudges, why should I humble myself? Huayi is very powerful, but don't forget, the female lead in 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' is Liu Yifei. Since we are destined not to coexist peacefully, why not relentlessly pursue them?"

"What about Next Media..."

"He's hiding behind the scenes, watching me and Huayi both suffer heavy losses so he can reap the benefits?"

Zhang Yang turned around, his eyes filled with a cold arrogance that looked down on everything: "Just a dog that bites for money. This time, I'll teach him that offending Zhang Yang will be a losing proposition!"

.....

The atmosphere in Huayi Brothers' conference room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Wang Xiaoer looked at the latest film reviews and theater feedback on the table, his face turning ashen. Although a lot of money had been spent to suppress Feng Xiaogang's sex scandal, the negative impact had already been caused, and the reputation of "If You Are the One" had been significantly affected.

One of the executives said indignantly, "President Wang, Zhang Yang is like a mad dog biting someone!"

"Exactly! That mad dog Zhang Yang is just too unruly!"

Wang Xiaoer rubbed his temples in frustration: "What's the use of saying all this now? The most urgent thing is to maintain the box office of 'If You Are the One'! That's our biggest hope for this year's Lunar New Year film season!"

Another executive suggested, "Should we try communicating with Zhang Yang?"

"communicate?"

Wang Xiaoer sneered, "Look at him now, is he the type to listen to explanations? He's convinced I did it, and any explanation is just a cover-up!"

He was also suffering in silence. He did hope that Zhang Yang would be in trouble and he would indeed use some underhanded tricks, but he swore that he had really been tricked this time.

"Then we..."

"Keep suppressing news! Increase publicity for 'If You Are the One'! Also..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Wang Xiaoer's eyes: "If Zhang Yang is so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. Go, release some of the dirt you've collected on Zhang Yang's activities abroad! Remember, release it slowly, little by little. I want him to taste what it's like to be constantly on the run!"

.....

The two-day holiday flew by, and Zhang Yang returned to the film crew.

After returning to the film set, Zhang Yang's condition improved significantly.

Jing Tian noticed that Zhang Yang's eyes were once again focused when reading the script, and she was more patient when guiding her acting.

"Don't rush to finish your lines here!"

Then, Zhang Yang demonstrated: "First, pause, look into my eyes, and let the audience feel your inner struggle."

Jing Tian performed the act again according to his instructions, and the effect was indeed much better.

During the break, Jing Tian mustered up his courage and said, "Thank you, Yang-ge, and... welcome back."

Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback, then gave a genuine smile: "Thank you."

Not far away, Wang Like and Lin Yushen watched this scene, exchanged a smile, and then Wang Like said with a smile, "It seems that President Zhang has made up his mind."

Lin Yushen nodded: "This is the Mr. Zhang we know."

Zhang Yang's return brought a lot of liveliness to the crew. Despite the occasional probing glances from the staff, Jing Tian maintained a polite but distant smile and diligently completed every requirement of the director.

Although her acting skills were a bit green, her attitude was extremely focused. The way she was well protected, naive, yet eager to prove herself gradually changed the minds of some staff members who initially had prejudices against her.

Watching her performance on the monitor, Zhang Yang whispered to director Liu Junjie beside him, "Director Liu, did you see that? She has a kind of 'purity' that is rare in this industry. This quality is exactly what the female lead of 'The Heirs' needs most. What we need to do is to bring out this quality and protect it."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, your eye for talent is amazing. Jing Tian is truly gifted."

Zhang Yang thoroughly enjoyed Liu Junjie's flattery and also realized the true value of Huang Bo's words, "When you become famous, you'll be surrounded by good people."

However, in the next scene, Jing Tian had to do more than twenty takes in a row. Just when everyone thought Zhang Yang was about to get angry, he walked in front of the monitor and played back the footage.

Zhang Yang pinpointed the problem: "Jing Tian, ​​you're imitating Fan Bingbing, but you're not her, you're Lin Wan'er."

Afterwards, he let everyone take a break and spent half an hour giving Jing Tian a private talk about the play.

When the camera turned on again, Jing Tian's eyes changed, transforming from a stubbornness that was deliberately imitated into a resilient look that belonged to Lin Wan'er, exuding nobility.
