Zhou Yang picked up the phone: "Sister Wang, why are you calling me so urgently? What's wrong?"

"Good news."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded cheerful. "Last night, the Golden Wheat Awards jury sent you an invitation to be a presenter at next month's ceremony."

Wang Man gave a brief explanation of the matter.

"Were two of my songs nominated for or won any major awards this year?"

Over the past year, "Blooming Flowers" and "Learn to Meow" have achieved remarkable results and influence, especially by twice surpassing the award-winning composer Wei Ran.

"Nominated for an award? What are you thinking! Those old guys on the judging panel have very picky tastes; there's absolutely no way your two songs will catch their eye."

After some explanation, Zhou Yang understood the general outline of the matter.

As the most authoritative award in the Chinese pop music scene, the Golden Wheat Awards are indeed not worthy of the prestige of my two songs, but the achievements of the works are there for all to see. Moreover, the organizers probably want to take advantage of my popularity as a top star.

Thinking of this, he was about to refuse, but Wang Man said again:

"This ceremony is very important for Vivi and Youyou. Take them around to get some exposure, especially among the mainstream musicians present. Even if you can't build good relationships with them, try not to make things too awkward."

"Okay, I'll ask the director for a few days off next month."

Afterwards, Wang Man asked a few more questions about the filming of "The Temptation to Go Home" before hanging up.

In the afternoon, despite the tacit understanding between the three lead actors and Zhou Yang's occasional "creative insights" from the sidelines, the filming progress was still terrifying.

"Click!"

Hu Dabiao glanced at the setting sun, clapped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teachers. Let's call it a day and go home."

After saying that, he was about to leave when he heard Zhou Yang call out from behind, "Director Hu, wait a minute!"

"Is there something you need, Professor Zhou Yang?"

"Here's the thing, the company called at noon, saying that I've been invited to be a presenter at the Golden Wheat Awards early next month, and I might need to take two or three days off..."

Zhou Yang briefly recounted what had happened during the phone call earlier that day.

"No problem, I'll make some adjustments in the next few days and have your scenes filmed intensively."

"Thank you, director."

Hu Dabiao nodded, his expression showing great approval.

This is his first time independently directing a TV series. Regarding Zhou Yang, a legendary top star, his initial doubts and concerns have turned into "he is a promising young man".

In his opinion, although the script was "terrible," the actor's acting was much better than previously rumored. He was also very proactive on set and didn't act like a diva at all.

Jin Ran, who was about to leave, stopped after hearing their conversation and suddenly said, "Zhou Yang, don't tell me that your song 'Learn to Meow' can get a Golden Wheat Award nomination or even win a trophy."

Zhou Yang raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Do you even know what the value of an original musician is?"

Seeing his smug expression and the overwhelming arrogance about to erupt, Jin Ran couldn't help but retort:

"You're so talented, after this show is finished filming, why don't you just do all the music yourself? Like the theme song, the insert songs, everything, you can do it all. Maybe Director Gao will even give you a bigger share of the profits..."

Jin Ran was joking with him, even being sarcastic, but Zhou Yang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "That's a good idea. I'll do it after filming is over."

When "The Temptation to Go Home" aired in its previous form, the theme song seemed to be quite popular for a while. Zhou Yang couldn't even remember the song title, but she could still hum the first line: "For all the pain of clinging to love." As for the two insert songs, she had no recollection of them at all.

Several songs are available in the store; these high-quality works probably won't be too expensive, so I can just redeem them later.

Jin Ran, however, took it as him showing off again and immediately retorted irritably, "You talk like it's the truth."

As the two were bickering, Hu Dabiao glanced down at his phone and suddenly said, "Director Gao is here. Let's go greet him together."

As the producer and investor of this drama, Gao Xiaoyu would drive to the set every week to inspect it, but she usually came in the morning and rarely came close to the end of the workday.

Outside the film set, Gao Xiaoyu was directing several staff members to unload boxes of coffee and milk tea from a van.

"Director Gao, what brings you here?"

Hu Dabiao led the three main actors to greet them.

"I was just passing by, so I bought some things and came to take a look."

It's practically an unspoken rule on film sets for the lead actor or producer to treat everyone to drinks or buy watermelons, but Hu Dabiao didn't take it seriously.

At this moment, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly nodded to Zhou Yang, indicating that she needed to speak with him.

While everyone else in the crew was getting their drinks, the two went to a secluded spot.

"Zhou Yang, umm... are you free tonight?"

The latter looked curious and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I...I want to be alone with you for a while."

As she said this, a fleeting hint of shyness crossed Gao Xiaoyu's eyes, along with a hint of anticipation.

"I couldn't have gotten it."

"Let's go then."

Gao Xiaoyu was very happy and even took Zhou Yang's hand.

Not far away, Jin Ran watched the two figures disappear into the distance and asked curiously, "Zhou Yang... he wouldn't really have a connection with our Director Gao, would he?"

Compared to the identity of the daughter of Huashi Media's chairman, Zhou Yang's so-called top-tier status was simply insignificant, hence her surprise and astonishment.

The young woman next to him said sourly, "With someone like him, I wouldn't be surprised if he were with any woman."

Jin Ran subconsciously turned to look at her, a look of disbelief on her face, and said, "You wouldn't be with him too...?"

The young woman didn't answer, but just mumbled something as she walked over.

"Sister Xu, don't go! Tell me how you got involved with Zhou Yang!"

Jin Ran felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

.

After leaving the film set, the two chose an elegant restaurant. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, she took the initiative to invite Zhou Yang to her home.

At this point, the situation is quite clear.

Zhou Yang thought that the woman thought the same thing.

As soon as they entered, their eyes met, and they both saw longing in each other's eyes.

Zhou Yang wasted no time and took the initiative to bow his head and offer his warm greetings, to which Gao Xiaoyu responded in an equally enthusiastic manner.

After a long while, the two of them finally separated, panting heavily.

Zhou Yang moved his right hand down and finally grasped the spot he had been longing for, exclaiming, "So perky!"

Of the three women he has been in contact with so far, in terms of curves alone, neither Mrs. Xu nor Lin Youyou can compare to the one in front of him.

Gao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes showed surprise as she asked, "You...you like this spot on me?"

Zhou Yang nodded and recalled, "When I caught it in the fishpond, I couldn't bear to let go."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoyu blushed and said, "I often work out abroad, so... so my [body part] is a little bigger."

Zhou Yang scooped her up in his arms and said, "It must be great, it's fantastic..."
