This kid is wasting his talent by not writing novels.

I don't even drink much normally, but he's become a heavy drinker.

Seven or eight bodyguards? In this society governed by law, do they think they're mafia bosses?

However, Yu Le was too lazy to correct him and just treated it as watching a free stand-up comedy performance.

The lights in the theater went out.

The dragon emblem appeared, and the movie officially began.

On the big screen, Huang Bo, sporting messy hair and wielding a broken iron hammer, is furiously attacking a used car.

"Bang! Bang!"

The hammer struck the car door, shattering the glass.

Xu Zheng, with his bald head and wearing a floral shirt, was jumping up and down anxiously, desperately trying to stop him.

A burst of laughter erupted in the theater.

Ning Hao's comedic pacing remains consistently solid. The multi-narrative structure, combined with the road movie framework, vividly portrays two men experiencing midlife crises.

One is a miserable man whose wife cheated on him, and the other is a womanizer. When these two get together, the chemistry is off the charts.

Li Zhe sat to the side, legs crossed, shaking his foot.

"Huang Bo is so ugly, how can he play the male lead? The current film market is truly an era of 'aesthetics of ugliness'."

Yu Le looked at his greasy hair, which was coated with half a pound of hair wax.

"All the handsome guys are sitting in the audience."

Li Zhe was pleased and straightened his tie.

"That's right. If I went up and acted in it, the box office would be at least 200 million more."

The plot unfolds. The two travel westward, encountering all sorts of bizarre events.

He was caught having sex in his car.

Encountering an Avatar girl.

He was sprayed in the face with self-defense spray by a punk girl.

One burden after another was thrown down.

The entire audience roared with laughter. Several men in the front row even spit out their cola.

Yu Le laughed along with him. Ning Hao really had some talent; he portrayed the joys and sorrows of ordinary people perfectly.

The scene shifts. Sunlight in Dali shines on the bluestone slabs.

Tang Yan, who plays Kang Xiaoyu, pushes open the wooden door of the inn.

She wore a long bohemian-style dress, her slightly wavy long hair cascading over her shoulders. Holding a small mixed-breed dog, she wore headphones, lost in her own world.

That slightly affected yet incredibly genuine artistic young woman's qualities instantly struck a chord with many male audience members.

Li Zhe leaned close to his assistant's ear, speaking in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Yu Le to hear.

"Tang Yan is just average. Last month at a dinner party, she insisted on adding me on WeChat. I thought she was too thin, so I didn't give it to her."

The assistant gasped.

"Zhe-ge is awesome! He doesn't even fancy Tang Yan!"

Yu Le silently put her hands into her hoodie pockets.

You probably can't find a single truth in this guy's mouth.

The movie is coming to an end.

Huang Bo has finally emerged from the shadow of being cuckolded, and Xu Zheng has also ushered in his own romantic encounter in Dali.

The end credits song began to play.

The lights in the entire venue were turned on.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Many people stood up and cheered in the direction of the creative team.

Several well-known film critics in the front row huddled together, frantically taking notes in their notebooks.

"Although it doesn't have the grand patriotism of 'Wolf Warrior,' it is definitely a landmark masterpiece in the field of domestic comedy films."

"The contrast between Huang Bo and Xu Zheng is a perfect match!"

Li Zhe stood up, straightened the hem of his suit jacket, and patted his assistant on the shoulder.

"Come on, follow me to the front. It's a pity that General Manager Yu didn't seem to be here this time. Let's go say hello to Director Ning."

Yu Le remained seated, pulling his hat brim low, preparing to slip away through the back door after the group dispersed.

on the stage.

Ning Hao, holding the microphone, was beaming.

Huang Bo and Xu Zheng stood on either side of him, grinning from ear to ear. Tang Yan stood at the very edge, maintaining a polite smile.

"Thank you to all our media friends and viewers!"

Ning Hao shouted loudly.

"Today, the film is able to meet everyone thanks most to Mr. Yu from Xianyu Entertainment! Without his full support, there would be no 'Breakup Buddies'!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

Li Zhe squeezed into the aisle, craning his neck to look around, trying to find the figure of the "Mediterranean beer belly" among the group of big shots.

Ning Hao's gaze swept across the entire arena.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

He stared at the far corner of the third row. A person wearing a black hoodie and a black baseball cap was looking down, trying to minimize their presence.

Ning Hao grinned and raised the microphone.

"Oh my god! Mr. Yu! What are you doing out there?! Are you on a secret visit?"

Ning Hao's shout echoed throughout the entire theater through the high-fidelity speakers.

The previously noisy hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone's eyes turned in unison in the direction Ning Hao was pointing.

The lighting technician reacted extremely quickly, shining a high-intensity spotlight directly onto the corner of the third row.

Yu Le squinted because of the bright light.

There's no escaping it now.

He sighed, gripped the armrest of his chair, and stood up.

Li Zhe, standing in the aisle, was less than half a meter away from Yu Le.

He turned his head and looked at the "passerby" who was bathed in the spotlight.

Yu Le raised her hand, took off her black baseball cap, and casually scratched her flattened hair.

He revealed a young, handsome face, completely free of bald patches and a beer belly.

Li Zhe's jawline dropped instantly. His mouth opened, and a meaningless "clucking" sound came from his throat.

The memo in the assistant's hand fell directly to the ground.

Snapped.

It makes a crisp sound.

The entire theater fell into a deathly silence that lasted for five seconds.

Then, the crew erupted in thunderous cheers.

"President Yu is awesome!" Huang Bo shouted at the top of his lungs on stage.

Xu Zheng clapped along, his hands turning red from clapping.

Tang Yan stood to the side, covering her mouth, looking at the man who was wearing an ordinary hoodie but radiated brilliance with admiration.

The media reporters went crazy, all their cameras and microphones pointed at that corner, and the flashes turned the room into daylight.

"It was actually General Manager Yu who came in person!"

"Quick, take a picture! We've got this as a headline!"

Neutral film critics and audiences were severely shocked by the impact on their values.

"Is this the entertainment industry godfather with a net worth of tens of billions?"

"Wearing a hoodie and sitting in the corner? That's way too low-key!"

Li Zhe, at the center of the storm, completely lost his mind.

This guy is President Yu?!

The boast he had just made kept replaying in his mind.

"Mediterranean hairline, beer belly, big gold chain..."

"I'll take you to toast him..."

"Tang Yan insisted on adding me on WeChat, but I didn't give it to her..."
