Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

In the evening, the film crew hosted a banquet for Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou wasn't in a hurry to leave. He hadn't settled things with Gu Zhiyan yet, so how could he leave?

"Gu, your acting is amazing!"

Zhang Yimou gave a thumbs up, and he meant it sincerely.

Zhou Ye and Liu Haochun looked proud as Director Zhang praised Gu Zhiyan.

Brother Xiaoyan, you're just that amazing!

"Director Zhang, you flatter me," Gu Zhiyan replied modestly at first, then raised his glass, "I'd like to toast Director Zhang."

"Incredible, truly incredible," Zhang Yimou exclaimed, putting down his wine glass.

Anyone else would have been flattered by such praise, but Gu Zhiyan remained calm and composed.

Just as Zhang Yimou finished reminiscing, he saw Liu Haochun and another girl named Zhou Ye vying to serve food to Gu Zhiyan.

I immediately felt a little heartbroken; daughters grow up and leave home!

Forget it, let's take care of the important business first.

So he said, "Xiao Gu, I have a movie starting production next year, and I feel you'd be perfect for the male lead. Would you like to audition?"

As soon as Zhang Yimou said that, the atmosphere at the table immediately fell silent.

This is a film by the renowned director Zhang, and I'm the male lead.

Even though his films aren't commercially successful right now, every one of them is a focus of attention in the industry, and the buzz surrounding them is off the charts.

Being able to act in a film by Director Zhang, even if you are an unknown newcomer, will immediately make you famous and your status will soar. Just look at Liu Haochun sitting there.

This is an opportunity that many actors would kill for.

"Director Zhang, could you elaborate?" Gu Zhiyan didn't rush to agree.

He doesn't lack acting opportunities; if he really wanted to film, he could film 365 days a year without stopping and still not finish.

Zhang Yimou's films haven't been doing very well at the box office, so he needs to see what kind of films they are.

If it could bring him an award, then he could accept it.

Gu Zhiyan has no shortage of box office success, especially since there's still "The Wandering Earth" that hasn't been released yet.

Now it's time to think about awards.

"A spy thriller..." Zhang Yimou briefly described the general plot.

Upon hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Gu Zhiyan immediately knew which movie it was.

Cliff Walkers

This role is acceptable; I won many awards in my previous life.

However, Gu Zhiyan did not show any impatience. After all, it was Zhang Yimou who invited him, and he couldn't run away.

"I haven't directed a spy drama before, but I'm quite interested. Director Zhang, could you send me the script to take a look?" Gu Zhiyan remained as calm as ever.

"Well... the script isn't finished yet," Zhang Yimou said with an awkward smile. "But it'll be done soon. I'll send it to you as soon as it's finished."

Hearing Gu Zhiyan say this, Zhang Yimou felt there was hope.

It's good that you're interested. As for Gu Zhiyan asking to see the script, that's only natural.

For an actor of Gu Zhiyan's stature, it's not enough to just read the script; they have to read the entire script.

Gu Zhiyan nodded: "Okay, Director Zhang will just send me the script. We can discuss the specifics after I've read the script."

"We'll discuss that in more detail later."

Zhang Yimou understood that Gu Zhiyan's intentions were now quite clear: to follow the script.

He will accept a role as long as the script moves him.

Zhang Yimou is quite satisfied with the result; he has confidence in the script!

After finishing our business, the next step was naturally to eat and drink, and chat about romantic things.

After the dinner ended, Zhang Yimou glanced at Liu Haochun standing next to Gu Zhiyan and said, "Gu, please take good care of Haochun."

"Director Zhang, don't worry, I treat her like a younger sister." Gu Zhiyan nodded.

Junko massages his shoulders and legs every day, so it's only right that he takes care of her. Oh, and Noko too.

Zhang Yimou: I think it's Qingmeimei (a female friend/sister).

Eyes don't lie; Liu Haochun's gaze towards Gu Zhiyan was clearly strange.

However, he didn't intend to interfere too much. Everyone has their own choices, and the entertainment industry is a big melting pot. It seems like it's not bad to be able to follow the young and handsome Gu Zhiyan.

At his level, he was fully aware of Gu Zhiyan's background.

Zhang Yimou left that night. He was still very busy, especially with the script for "Cliff Walkers". He planned to finish it as soon as possible, because things might change if he delayed, and what if Gu Zhiyan was unavailable?

Nothing happened that night, and filming continued the next day.

During lunch, Gu Zhiyan glanced at the motorcycles parked at the filming location and felt an irresistible urge to grab one.

Tomorrow we'll be filming the scene where Xiao Bei rides a motorcycle with Chen Nian on the back; this motorcycle is a prop.

I usually drive a four-wheeled vehicle; I haven't ridden a two-wheeled one in a long time.

The feeling of four wheels is naturally different from that of two wheels.

"Brother Yan, do you want to ride it?"

Seeing Gu Zhiyan circling the motorcycle, Zhou Ye spoke up.

"I have that idea." Gu Zhiyan nodded.

"Brother Xiaoyan, you can ride, right?" Liu Haochun followed closely.

"Idiot, Xiao Yan can drive race cars, how could she not know how to ride a motorcycle?" Zhou Ye gave Liu Haochun a disdainful look.

"You're the idiot. Can a motorcycle and a car be the same?" Liu Haochun retorted.

"Alright, you two stop arguing," Gu Zhiyan said, stopping them. "I can ride this thing, and my skills are pretty good."

"By the way, Brother Yan, do you have a driver's license? The traffic police are checking very strictly now," Zhou Ye asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, there is." Gu Zhiyan nodded.

He certainly has a motorcycle driver's license, otherwise he wouldn't have set his sights on this vehicle.

If you don't have a driver's license, you'll be in big trouble if you get caught by the traffic police.

Driving without a license quickly becomes a trending topic and a negative example.

Liu Haochun: "Brother Xiaoyan is amazing, he can do everything."

Zhou Ye: You sycophant! You were just asking Brother Xiaoyan if he knew how.

"Come on, who wants to get on?" Gu Zhiyan said as he hopped on the motorcycle. "Let's go for a ride."

Zhou Ye: "I'll go."

Liu Haochun: "I want to go too."

Gu Zhiyan glanced at the back seat. It was alright; both girls were very slim and could fit comfortably. So he said, "You two come up together."

Liu Haochun: "I want to sit in the front."

Zhou Ye: "Why do you get to sit in the front? I want to sit in the front too."

How wonderful it is up ahead, I can hug Xiaoyan-ge.

Seeing the two girls arguing again about who should sit in the front, Gu Zhiyan said helplessly, "You two take turns. When you go out, one of you sits in the front, and when you come back, the other one sits in the front."

"I'll go first."

Upon hearing what Xiao Yan said, Zhou Ye jumped into the car in a flash.

Liu Haochun was caught off guard and Zhou Ye beat him to it.

This lemon-lover is quick on the uptake.

Hmph, you can step aside for now, this spot will be mine when I come back anyway!

"Sit tight, let's go!"

Gu Zhiyan twisted the throttle hard, and the motorcycle engine suddenly roared, shooting off like an arrow...

"What's that sound?" Director Tsang Kuo-hsiang asked, puzzled.

"Director, it sounds like a motorcycle?" a crew member replied.

motorcycle?

The film crew only had one motorcycle.

"Who rode the motorcycle away? Why didn't you remove the keys? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?" Zeng Guoxiang was furious. "Go and find out who it was!"

The staff didn't dare to breathe and rushed out.

A short while later, he returned and reported: "Director, someone saw that Teacher Gu rode away on the bike, and he was also taking Zhou Ye and Liu Haochun with him."

Tsang Kwok-cheung's head was buzzing. If something went wrong, the whole show would be ruined.

Brother Yan, my goodness, please don't let anything happen to you!
