As the saying goes, if someone is younger than you, they won't call you "sister," and they might be a bit unconventional.

At this moment, Liu Xinyou seemed to have also noticed Mingbei's intense gaze. Her eyes darted left and right, and she didn't dare to meet his eyes.

"Alright, let's order and eat," Mingbei smiled, not saying much more.

"I'm starving! You're a local, why don't you order something?"

Liu Xinyou remained silent, but then turned around and landed on the opposite side.

With Tang Wei present, she naturally wanted to sit with the person she was closer to.

Now that the outsiders have left, she still feels more comfortable sitting face-to-face.

This restaurant was quite well-known, and Liu Xinyou came here occasionally, so ordering food was a breeze for her, and she placed her order quickly.

"Oh, by the way," Liu Xinyou said, trying to avoid an awkward silence while waiting for her food.

"You just said you reached a cooperation agreement with Stephen Chow's side?"

Ming Bei waved the paper document in his hand, "This is Stephen Chow's screenwriting insights. He said he wants to train me to be the next generation's leading figure in film..."

As expected, these words earned him another eye roll from Liu Xinyou.

Some people don't look good when they roll their eyes, but others do it with a certain charm.

Clearly, Liu Xinyou belongs to the latter category.

"His portrayal of Zhu Bajie was inappropriate," Mingbei finally spoke the truth.

"He said I was too dazzling, and the contrast between my human and pig forms was too great, which might disrupt the overall storyline!"

"After all, the character of Zhu Bajie is just a transitional one; he can't take up too much screen time, lest the audience's memory remain stuck on the previous scene when they watch the next segment..."

That's true. While Zhu Bajie needs to have contrasts before and after, the audience's viewing anchor point can't stay there for too long, otherwise it will be difficult to attract them to the subsequent plot.

Otherwise, Stephen Chow wouldn't have thought about it for so long before deciding not to let him star in the film.

As for the cameo role, it ended up dying as soon as it appeared, and the screen time was minimal.

It can provide the audience with a great visual feast at the beginning, smoothly introduce the plot, and also add humor.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinyou glanced at Mingbei.

"So, being too handsome has its downsides?"

The current situation is a profound reflection of this statement.

A person can be handsome, but not too handsome, not so handsome as to be earth-shattering.

Otherwise, playing a supporting role would result in the guest overshadowing the host.

The story of "Scarlet Heart" is mainly plot-driven, not a simple idol drama, so the Fourteenth Prince is noticeable, but not overly so.

The Four Great Constables are set up as villains who are born strong and almost invincible, capable of beating up the main characters, so it's normal for them to be dazzling.

"Indeed," Mingbei nodded slightly and said solemnly.

"So, sometimes you have to share some of your looks so that others can also look good..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinyou fell silent instantly.

While on the set of "Scarlet Heart," she witnessed firsthand how Liu Shishi's appearance changed.

At that time, it was dazzling every day!

Not long ago, she saw a selfie of Liu Shishi. It was completely natural and unedited, but her overall skin texture was clear and firm, and her spirit was radiant. It was obvious to the naked eye!

Given this, even though she found Mingbei's words somewhat absurd, she still harbored a sliver of trust in them.

"You and..." Liu Xinyou pursed her lips, her expression slightly hesitant.

"So what are your plans next?"

She hesitated for a long time, but in the end she didn't say what was on her mind. Instead, she asked a question about her work.

"Expanding the studio's business scope will most likely involve establishing a company," Mingbei said frankly to Liu Xinyou.

"Then I began my series of plans..."

Before I could explain the plan in detail, the waiter brought over a plate of food.

"Eat first, eat first," Mingbei urged.

"Let's eat first and then talk!"

This meal lasted for an hour, after all, Mingbei was also hungry, and now was a time when he could eat a lot.

Liu Xinyou only tasted a few of the dishes he ordered, and most of them ended up in his stomach.

After the meal, Mingbei patted his belly and suggested taking a walk to digest his food.

Liu Xinyou searched her memory for a moment and then took him to a place where she often stayed alone and enjoyed the breeze.

Looking out, the waves are surging in the distance, and a small terrace protrudes nearby, making it a nice viewpoint.

Moreover, there are hardly any other people around, so it can almost be enjoyed all to oneself.

The two stood on the terrace, one facing forward and the other backward, leaning against the railing.

A sea breeze swept in, blowing Liu Xinyou's skirt and tossing her long hair.

Mingbei squinted, enjoying the massage of the wind, looking particularly content.

He quite enjoyed this feeling; it was subtle and comfortable.

"Your phone looks really good; I've pre-ordered one for myself!"

After a while, Liu Xinyou, who had been glancing at Mingbei from time to time, finally spoke, breaking the silence between the two.

"Optimistically, its lifespan could exceed ten million," Mingbei straightened up, turned around to sit next to Liu Xinyou.

"That's why I changed my strategy and became a little more aggressive..."

If a single phone model costs over ten million, that would be a very impressive performance, even in the peak era of my previous life!

If there are tens of millions of units sold, then the total sales revenue will be more than 20 billion!

Anyone with that kind of confidence would be able to be a bit more aggressive!

Liu Xinyou remained silent. Is this even a little bit?

You've only just entered the industry. Before, you were honestly looking for opportunities to audition and act. Now, in the blink of an eye, you're going to start doing things on your own!

They even dared to try and recruit Tang Wei into their group!

That's ridiculously radical!

That's not the normal pace for people in the industry!

However, she could actually understand it to some extent.

In her opinion, if Orange Phone succeeds this time, Mingbei's family background will be in a league of its own in the entertainment industry!

Perhaps no one is as wealthy as him!

He's an inside fish, and he can completely dominate everyone else!

The so-called capitalists and princes are this kind of people.

He might even be one of the best among them.

Under such circumstances, it feels like one can do whatever one wants.

Of course, this "doing whatever you want" is done under reasonable and legal conditions, not by doing anything illegal or criminal.

In other words, he is rich.

Even if you spend money recklessly and don't recoup your investment, the pressure certainly won't be that great.

"Yeah, that's good. Keep it up!"

Liu Xinyou sent her blessings to Mingbei. She felt that the two of them were now more like two straight lines that, after intersecting, gradually drifted apart and it would be difficult for them to meet again.

The sea breeze was gentle, ruffling her hair, and it seemed to ruffle her heart as well.

Her mind had been in turmoil lately. She had thought things would get better after seeing Mingbei, but now it seemed...

Things seem to have gotten even more chaotic.

Her thoughts were like a spider web, trapping her and making it difficult for her to break free.

At this moment, she also couldn't quite see her own true feelings.

Mingbei was silent for a moment, then reached out his hand.

"So, are you interested in joining my group?"
