Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Chapter 52, Eight Trigrams: Things Everyone Knows

"Looks like another big star is about to emerge from our class..."

Zhang Zichen also looked envious.

She's a "Stephen Chow Girl"! Huang Shengyi became famous after the news broke, and she might become a star after the movie is released!

But then he immediately revealed a gloating expression.

"Guess who in our class least wants Huang Shengyi to become famous right now?"

"That must be her boyfriend!"

Wang Hongyu was also somewhat gloating.

The drama "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" just finished filming last month. Unless Jia Nailiang, the male lead, becomes an instant star after the show airs, he and his girlfriend Huang Shengyi will definitely not be able to stay together.

Sun Haidong and Zhang Zichen nodded in agreement.

They're about to be juniors, and after two years of classes together, how could they not see that Huang Shengyi is very ambitious?

Jia Nailiang wasn't exactly a handsome guy; he wasn't even among the most good-looking in his class, and his family background was just average.

So they all knew that unless Jia Nailiang became famous, Huang Shengyi would almost certainly choose to break up with him!

"I heard that our teacher, Ms. Huang, seems to be in a bad mood these past few days!"

Zhang Zichen added.

At the beginning of this month, the TV series "Like Water Flowing Years," written, directed, and starring Huang Lei, a teacher in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, was broadcast on CCTV-8 and is now nearing its finale.

When it first aired, the school encouraged students to watch it together, and the reviews were alright, at least not that bad.

Some media outlets have compared this drama to the previously popular "Jade Goddess of Mercy" and the currently airing "Princess Pearl 3".

It is said that a few days ago someone encountered that teacher Huang at school, and he was walking with a swagger.

Two days ago, a report suddenly appeared stating that the ratings for "Like Water Flowing Through Time" were somewhat low.

This morning, Sohu Entertainment reported the specific ratings for the show, which were "as high" as 0.05%, setting a record for the lowest ratings in the history of CCTV-8!

Their class had previously attended a public class taught by that teacher, Mr. Huang. Leaving aside the teaching content, Mr. Huang's reputation for "extra classes" and "extending class time" was absolutely real, and many students deeply resented it!

Moreover, it's simply unacceptable for a teacher to prey on their own student, especially when the student is a freshman in college!

"Our teacher, Mr. Huang, has become famous this time, but he was already quite famous to begin with..."

Wang Hongyu also joked.

Then, curiously, she asked, "Do you think the story about our Teacher Huang and that milk tea girl is true?"

Milk Tea is Liu Ruoying, a female singer from Taiwan, nicknamed "Milk Tea," and is also the female lead in Huang Lei's "Like Water Flowing Through the Years."

The two had previously collaborated on a TV series called "April Rhapsody," at which time rumors of a romance between them circulated.

Last year, when Liu Ruoying held a concert, it was reported that a man who looked like Huang Lei entered her room.

Later, Liu Ruoying responded frankly that Huang Lei's affair happened a couple of years ago, which reignited the rumors about the two.

The key point is that during this period, Huang Lei and his student girlfriend stayed together and did not break up!

Not to mention that in his first self-written, self-directed and self-acted TV series, he invited Liu Ruoying to play the female lead, while his own girlfriend did not appear in the show!

"It's highly likely to be true; it can't be entirely baseless!"

Zhang Zichen sighed.

Sun Haidong also shook his head: "This Teacher Huang has indeed gone a bit too far..."

Xu Heng smiled but did not participate in the topic.

He remembered that in his previous life there was a report that this Teacher Huang called Liu Ruoying before his marriage and said that he would not get married if Liu Ruoying did not agree. Liu Ruoying herself said this at a concert, but she did not name names.

Two days later, Huang Lei got married, which meant he had indeed found his own destiny.

They chatted about some gossip, and after finishing their meal, they went back to their dorm.

The next day, his three roommates went to class, while Xu Heng continued working on the film's post-production.

About half a month later, in August, the post-production of "Our Times" was about to be completed.

After finishing her classes that morning, Liu Yifei returned to her dormitory to rest and immediately sent Xu Heng a text message.

They hadn't been in touch for several days, and it wasn't convenient for them to meet often at school. She also didn't want to interfere with Xu Heng's work.

Liu Yifei: Is the movie almost finished?

Xu Heng: It should be in the next day or two.

Liu Yifei: When can we watch it?

Xu Heng: If all goes well, it could be as early as Monday.

Liu Yifei: Then let's do Monday, I have class on Monday.

Xu Heng: Okay, then let's schedule the screening for Monday. You can invite your roommates too.

The three roommates glanced at Liu Yifei, who was sitting there sending text messages.

"Effie, who are you texting with?"

Liu Jing deliberately feigned curiosity.

"Who else could it be but our senior brother Xu Heng!"

Wang Jia joked, "It was intentional, too."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhou Yang stopped her, even though she knew that Wang Jia was probably not wrong.

"Yes, I'm in contact with Xu Heng."

Liu Yifei raised her head and readily admitted it.

She and Xu Heng were very good friends, which is something everyone knows.

"Xu Heng said the movie is almost finished and a screening is scheduled for Monday. He also invited you to attend."

Liu Yifei continued.

Zhou Yang's face lit up with joy; she was the second female lead in this movie!

Wang Jia and Liu Jing were just so-so; they were merely background figures and probably didn't even get many shots directly on camera.

However, the two still congratulated Liu Yifei and Zhou Yang, as their dormitory relationship had always been harmonious.

There was one thing neither of them said, and Zhou Yang was even less likely to say it.

That's next Monday, which seems to be Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day)...

While Western Valentine's Day is still more popular in China these days, the Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) is also quite popular in big cities and universities...

After telling her three roommates the news, Liu Yifei continued to text Xu Heng.

Liu Yifei: The recording schedule for Happy Camp is set. It will be on the 21st of this month, and I'll be there on the 19th.

Xu Heng: Congratulations, you've got another excuse to skip class.

Liu Yifei: Am I that kind of person?

Xu Heng: Isn't that right?

Liu Yifei: Hmph

Xu Heng: Perform well then.

Liu Yifei: Don't worry, I definitely will! My singing skills have improved recently!

After "The Story of a Noble Family" became a hit, she received an invitation from Hunan TV's variety show "Happy Camp".

However, she did not agree immediately, especially since she was filming Xu Heng's movie at the time.

Last month, Hunan TV contacted her again, and this time she did not refuse. She even prepared to sing "A Little Happiness" on the show, while also promoting the movie.

Hunan TV also asked her to help contact Xu Heng, but Xu Heng declined the invitation, citing his need to work on the film's post-production.
