Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu

Where are you going?

Dilraba was lying lazily in bed, not wanting to move, but as soon as Jiang Yang got up, she clung to him.

Nizi is being a bit clingy lately.

"Go rent a place, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go on dates."

Jiang Yang booked a room by himself today, and then Dilraba sneaked in.

This was only possible because neither of them were famous. Later, as they gradually became celebrities, paparazzi would find them everywhere when they met at the hotel.

It's time to set up a base.

Upon hearing this, Dilraba shyly pulled the blanket over her face, but secretly peeked out her eyes.

Dating?

There's no such thing as a date, it's all just...

Even now, recalling it brings a blush to her cheeks, yet she can't help but feel a touch of anticipation.

She gave a soft "hmm" and acted coquettishly.

Jiang Yang understood immediately, lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Overworked, Dilireba was satisfied and went back to sleep.

After filming two dramas, "Legend of Chu and Han" and "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," Jiang Yang had enough money to rent a house.

With a sufficient budget, his top priority is privacy.

Remembering what Jiang Jingfu had said earlier, he immediately made a phone call.

Let's talk about it when we meet.

Jiang Jingfu gave him an address; it was for a gym.

As expected of Fu-zai, a weightlifting fanatic.

Jiang Yang rushed to meet up with them, only to find there was still one person there.

"Lin Gou" (林狗).

"What are you yelling about without any respect? Call me 'Senior Brother'!"

Lin Gengxin corrected him, but he wasn't really angry.

He was in the 07 class of the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He has a good personality and can take a joke. Moreover, back in school, not only Jiang Yang, but everyone called him that.

This guy even calls himself "the dream of 900 million girls".

They are all fellow students, only two levels apart, and now they are all in the same field. He often works out with Jiang Jingfu.

Oh, not that often.

Lin Gengxin prefers playing video games, and working out is just a routine for him as an actor to maintain his physique.

When Jiang Jingfu heard that Jiang Yang was moving out of the school and looking for a place to live, he went out of his way to recommend that Jiang Yang live in the same neighborhood as him, and was just short of inviting him to be his roommate.

The young actors who had just started out in the industry didn't live in luxury.

The apartment isn't large, just two bedrooms, with a floor area of ​​no more than 100 square meters. It's definitely enough for one person.

Jiang Yang wasn't a picky person, and besides, actors would be away filming for several months at a time, so renting a house was more like a warehouse for storing things.

"By the way, haven't you signed with a company yet?"

"How about I introduce you to Sister K? She should be interested in you."

"We might end up in the same company, and maybe we can even act in a movie together!"

K-sister is Cai Yinong, the author of the sugar figurine.

Jiang Jingfu is now a semi-amateur; he hasn't quite transitioned into this new identity yet.

She enjoys lively company and enthusiastically brought Jiang Yang into the company, thinking she was finding him a playmate. In reality, besides cooperation, there's also competition among colleagues…

Lin Gengxin remained silent, showing no intention of hoping that Jiang Yang would sell sugar figurines.

2012 was the peak year for sugary people.

With a distinguished lineup of talented men and women, including the renowned "Blind Sister," their ancient costume fantasy dramas stand out in the industry, making them a top-tier television production company.

Cai Yinong even blacklisted Yang Mi.

However, big companies have their own domineering ways; their contracts are notoriously harsh, and neither of these two could endure until the end of their contracts.

"You sugar figurines..."

"What's wrong with us sugar figurines?"

Before Jiang Yang could finish speaking, a crisp sound rang out from behind him.

The three of them turned around. Oh.

"Nazha, what brings you here?"

"When you come to the gym, of course you're there to work out."

Gulnazar's expression: What a stupid question, you idiot.

Jiang Jingfu is right, all the artists in their company work out here.

Gulnazar knew both of the Sugar Man actresses, having already worked together on "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky." However, this was her first time meeting Jiang Yang, and she cast a curious glance at him.

"Jiang Yang, my buddy."

Jiang Jingfu took the initiative to introduce them, and the two nodded to each other.

Gulnazar's eyes swept over them one by one.

"This is my first time. Which of you three will be my coach?"

She wasn't embarrassed at all.

Being able to work out with this beautiful lady should be an honor they'd love to receive!

It's not fair to call her narcissistic. When it comes to looks, Nazha is definitely an authority. All it took to get noticed by Sugar Man was a bare-faced photo from her art exam period.

Invited by a beautiful woman, Jiang Jingfu and Lin Gengxin were both a little tempted, and Chao Jue unintentionally struck a pose to show off his muscles.

Gulnazar chuckled to herself.

"Among the three of you, who is the best?"

"Beauty is indeed a curse," she said, and even Jiang Yang, who had been the most composed just moments before, could no longer remain unmoved.

The most powerful?

This is a matter of a man's dignity!

The three exchanged glances and unanimously agreed to use the bench press, which is the most demanding test of physical strength, to determine the winner.

Contestant number one, Lin Gengxin.

He's the only one born in the 80s here, arranged by age.

Since Lin Gou only treats fitness as homework, it's obvious he's just filling in the gaps. However, adhering to the principle that it's okay to fail but not to give up, he still insists on giving it a try.

Contestant number two, Jiang Jingfu.

This guy is a true fitness enthusiast and is considered a top-tier amateur.

He lay there and immediately asked for 100 kilograms, while Jiang Jingfu himself only weighed about 80 kilograms.

What's even more terrifying is that he finished steadily and effortlessly, clearly with plenty of energy left over.

Jiang Jingfu confidently spread his hands after raising his hand.

Who else!

Jiang Yang pushed him aside, signaling him to stand aside, saying, "You're too happy, little brother."

I'd laugh if you tried to outstretch your strength against me.

Do you know what it means to be strong enough to lift a tripod?

Jiang Yang silently went to adjust the barbell plates by himself, leaving Jiang Jingfu stunned.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"You guys look really tired from lifting them, let's finish this in one go."

The weight he chose was carefully chosen; it was exactly the sum of the previous two.

Jiang Jingfu was startled and quickly stopped him.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Don't panic, I wouldn't make this joke if I wasn't sure."

Jiang Yang held his breath and straightened his arms.

Fuck!

They actually lifted him up!

Jiang Jingfu was worried that he would get hurt from being too brave, so he specially tried to protect him, only to find that he had gone to great lengths to protect him.

Holy crap, is this even human?

If he knew that Jiang Yang hadn't actually used his full strength yet, and that his current "I've reached my limit" act was just an act, he would probably be even more vulnerable.

Jiang Yang is taller and heavier than Jiang Jingfu, so from that perspective he does have more potential.

But then there's Lin Gengxin...

Lin Gengxin: You're using me as a unit of measurement, aren't you?

Are you being polite?

In conclusion, the outcome of this mini bench press head-to-head competition between the three participants has been decided.

Strength is the most direct expression of masculinity. Among a group of men, women will only stare at the strongest one and won't even give the losers a second glance.

Gulnazar was just like that, staring at Jiang Yang with her beautiful eyes sparkling.

He can lift me up with one hand...

The thought of this fact made her gasp for breath.

"You're the one!"

This result was expected, but Lin Gengxin and Jiang Jingfu, who were eliminated, were still a little unwilling, especially the latter.

"Why choose an outsider over two other companies? Is it because the grass is always greener on the other side?"

"Who told you to be useless?"

Gulnazar is straightforward and says what she thinks, delivering a devastating blow with just a few words.

Jiang Jingfu and his companion were defeated and forced to retreat.

Jiang Yang got the opportunity to be her fitness coach. Although this "prize" was not what he wanted to get, Gulnazar seemed to be very interested in him.

"Didn't you just say you were looking for a place to live?"
