Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 105 Two Women Fighting
The moment Yang Mi put the grapes into Shi Lei's mouth, Shi Lei saw a camera hidden in a corner of the dinner party. He didn't know how many more he hadn't seen.

These paparazzi are truly omnipresent and always find a way to get into the dinner party.

Of course, this is also related to the security level of the organizer. It’s just a premiere dinner, and the security level is not high.

Moreover, some of the paparazzi might be allowed in by Taolin Film and Television. Just like the in-depth cooperation between the concert and scalpers, Taolin Film and Television also has some cooperation with paparazzi, and some of the paparazzi are even hired by Taolin Film and Television.

The entertainment industry is like this, it's quite chaotic. Even formal companies like Taolin Film and Television sometimes have to use some shady means. Letting paparazzi release unfavorable information about the rival company is one of the means. Sometimes paparazzi are even assigned to secretly take photos of the rival company's artists.

Of course, Taolin Film and Television is a large company with great momentum. The film market is not yet saturated, so these shady methods are rarely used.

However, what is necessary is still there. Taolin Film and Television not only secretly maintains paparazzi, but also secretly maintains water armies, and even places spies in rival companies.

As the company grows, we need to have everything we need. We don’t have to have a sword, but we must have a sword!
The others who saw Yang Mi's actions were stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, but they all secretly complained in their hearts, thinking that Yang Mi must be crazy!
There is a consensus in the circle that it is okay to date, but it is best not to make it public. Even if some artists are married, they try their best to conceal it and pretend to be unmarried in front of the public.

What Yang Mi is doing now may not be considered self-destruction, but it has added some difficulty to his path to fame.

Zhao Liying was even more stunned. It would have been fine if Yang Mi had just fed him, but Shi Lei actually opened his mouth. Doesn't this boss know the consequences of doing this?

Aren’t you afraid that it will affect the ratings of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy III”?

If Shi Lei knew what Zhao Liying was thinking, he would give an affirmative answer that the impact would not be significant.

"Chinese Paladin III" is different from "Chinese Paladin I". "Chinese Paladin I" made the audience remember Liu Yifei, but the effect of promoting stars in "Chinese Paladin III" was not ideal. It could make the three actresses famous to a certain extent, but not to the point of becoming huge stars.

The most famous character Yang Mi in the whole play is thanks to "Palace".

Some TV series are like this, they have high ratings and are rebroadcast for a long time, but the actors in them are not very popular.

This era is not like the future. A popular TV series can break through the circle through the Internet. In the era of short videos, countless edited videos have appeared, so even if people don’t watch the TV series, they can hear about it. They don’t know what the star looks like, but they have heard of the star’s name.

Yang Mi became famous thanks to "Palace" because the Internet has developed to a certain extent.

Yang Mi looked natural. She picked up another grape with her white jade fingers, peeled it, and then drew a graceful arc in the air with her snow-white fingers and put the peeled grape to Shi Lei's mouth.

Shi Lei opened his mouth and bit Yang Mi's fingers together, and the juice splashed everywhere. The ordinary grapes became unusually sweet.

The two of them just showed off their affection like no one else was watching.

Zhao Liying's head was buzzing, her face flushed red, and her ears were burning. Yang Mi was like this, she couldn't beat him.

Looking at the two people who acted as if no one was around, she couldn't stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

Yang Mi looked at Zhao Liying's departing figure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Hmph, you are still a little naive to fight with me."

She did this naturally to compete with Zhao Liying. Ever since Zhao Liying became the heroine of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", she knew that Zhao Liying posed the biggest threat to her in the entire company.

The two are of similar age and were recruited into the company before they reached adulthood, which shows how much Shi Lei values ​​them.

"Pah." Shi Lei slapped Yang Mi on the buttocks and said with a smile: "Look at what you did. You even got Zhao Liying away."

"Hey, Brother Lei, this is a public place, how can you hit someone..." Yang Mi screamed and looked around. He saw many people deliberately avoiding his gaze. Some of them did not shift their gaze. These people either did not react or had a distorted expression.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's find a place with fewer people." Shi Lei also became interested.

"Okay~~" Yang Mi said in a charming voice.

Shi Lei stood up, and Yang Mi took Shi Lei's arm. The tight evening dress outlined Yang Mi's figure. When others saw this scene, they all had the same thought, "What a perfect couple."

The two men first said goodbye to Ning Hao, and then said hello to some people. Although it was still early, no one said anything about Shi Lei's departure.

Shi Lei's status is high enough, and the nominal host of this dinner is Ning Hao, so it is harmless for Shi Lei to leave early.

The main reason is that Shi Lei has a high status and no one dares to complain!

The two went out and got into the car they had been waiting for for a long time. As soon as the car started and the tailgate rose, Yang Mi wanted to sit astride it.

"Hey, don't do that. Safety is important. Don't violate traffic rules." Shi Lei quickly spoke out to stop him.

Yang Mi blinked her shining eyes and said in a tender voice: "Okay~~ I'll listen to Brother Lei."

She gave up trying to sit astride him, but she stretched out her slender little hand...

In the villa, Shi Lei entered the room with Yang Mi with great respect.

After Yang Mi entered the room, Shi Lei immediately closed the door and locked it.

"I'm going to take a shower first. Please wait for a moment."

Not long after, Shi Lei came out wearing a white bathrobe.

At this time, Yang Mi was sitting on the edge of the bed. She smiled coquettishly at Shi Lei and reached out to take it off herself.

"Let me do it, that's how it feels." Shi Lei chuckled.

"Okay, Brother Lei." Yang Mi smiled sweetly.

Yang Mi is wearing white high heels, a white dress, and warm flesh-colored stockings today, which makes people's heart beat faster just by looking at her.

Shi Lei did not reach out to touch Yang Mi's clothes, but put his hands on Yang Mi's flesh-colored thighs. The visual impact of the flesh-colored stockings aroused Shi Lei's interest, and the touch of the flesh-colored stockings was very comfortable.

I couldn't help but start kneading Yang Mi's stockings and massaging her feet.

As Shi Lei massaged her, Yang Mi gradually relaxed.

She felt that her heels were no longer so sore, and instead there was a comfortable feeling spreading from her heels to her body.

I couldn't help but squint my eyes and enjoy the comfortable feeling of Shi Lei's massage.

She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels at the dinner party, and she was very tired from standing. Her feet were sore, but now after Shi Lei's massage, she felt so comfortable.

"Thank you, Brother Lei. Your massage was very comfortable. My feet aren't sore anymore." Although she didn't have any roles to perform during the day, she still watched from the side. Her feet were a little tired after standing for a whole day.

Shi Lei put Yang Mi's right leg on his shoulder, kneading her calf muscles with his right hand, while his left hand gently kneaded and stroked Yang Mi's charming flesh-colored stockings.

"Mmm~~~Comfortable~~~" Yang Mi couldn't help but moan, "Brother Lei's massage skills are really good, better than those in the club!"

"Are you still going to the club?" Shi Lei was a little unhappy and stopped what he was doing.

As soon as Shi Lei stopped, Yang Mi rubbed his chest with her foot and said in a tender voice: "Brother Lei, keep going! Don't stop! I called a female technician~~ She does a regular massage, hehe."

"Pa!" Shi Lei slapped Yang Mi and said with a smile: "Girl, you did it on purpose!"

Yang Mi's feet caressed Shi Lei's abdominal muscles and she said delicately, "I didn't mean it. It's obviously Brother Lei, you're overthinking."

"Brother Lei, don't stop. It feels so good to have your feet massaged~~" Yang Mi urged him in a tender voice. Shi Lei felt numb all over after hearing that voice. He enjoyed it very much and increased the strength of the leg massage.

"Oh~ it hurts, Brother Lei, you're pressing me~" Yang Mi cried out in pain.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Shi Lei laughed out loud and said, "It's good that it hurts. Pain means the massage is effective."

"Hmm, Brother Lei, you are bullying me~~This is not scraping~~"

"Hehe..." Shi Lei laughed happily. He restrained the strength in his hands and gave Yang Mi a regular leg massage.

Not long after, Shi Lei changed his leg, bent his right leg and started massaging his left leg.

Although Yang Mi had his eyes closed, his face had turned into a sunset glow, and there was something strange about his body.

After massaging for a while, Shi Lei asked, "How does it feel?" "Very comfortable!" Yang Mi said softly with his eyes closed.

"I'll massage your waist to relieve your fatigue. Foreign actresses often get massages. My massage technique was introduced from the island country."

"Okay." Yang Mi agreed happily.

She couldn't help but feel a little excited, looking forward to Shi Lei's massage skills.

Shi Lei turned Yang Mi's body over, with her back facing up, and then Yang Mi tilted her head. Shi Lei slowly pressed on Yang Mi's waist through her skirt.

The strength is appropriate and the technique is superb.

Yang Mi shuddered all over and felt strong hands pressing on her waist. Through her dress, she could clearly feel the trajectory of Shi Lei's hands pressing on her. The rustling sound of her skirt rubbing against the waist was heard. She felt an indescribable comfortable feeling in her waist and could not help twisting her body a few times.

Seeing this, Shi Lei kneaded her even harder, causing Yang Mi to cry out in pleasure.

"It feels good...Brother Lei...harder..."

"It feels so good...Brother Lei's technique is amazing."

After a while, Yang Mi was immersed in the enjoyment. Shi Lei's mouth curled up slightly, and suddenly took his hands away, "The massage ends here."

The comfortable massage suddenly stopped. Yang Mi was still not satisfied. She turned her head, squinted her eyes and said coquettishly: "Brother Lei, I want more..."

"You still want it? No problem, now it's time to massage her shoulders." Shi Lei peeled off Yang Mi's dress and began to massage her smooth and flawless shoulders.

Smooth, delicate skin that feels comfortable to the touch.

"Brother Lei... give it to me quickly... I want it..." As time passed, Yang Mi felt unbearable all over and began to beg.

"Wait a minute, the massage isn't over yet!"

Time passed slowly, and Shi Lei's massage range became wider and wider. Shoulders, back, waist, neck... were all touched by Shi Lei.

"Brother Lei... give it to me quickly... I can't take it anymore..."

Shi Lei did not stop massaging his hands.

"I really can't do it anymore... It's time to start..."

Shi Lei's hands still didn't stop.

Yang Mi suddenly froze and then began to tremble.

"Brother Lei... I have no strength left."

"I haven't even started yet, and you can't do it?"

"Brother Lei's massage is so comfortable. Brother Lei, please let me take it easy." Dong Xuan said weakly.

"Why wait? Now is the right time!" Shi Lei disagreed.

"Brother Lei, let me help you first." Yang Mi pushed Shi Lei down and started to massage him.

"No need, let's get straight to the point." Shi Lei rolled over, took the upper hand, and went straight to the dragon's lair.

The next morning, Shi Lei dragged himself to catch the plane.

……

After a few days of rest, "The Pursuit of Happyness" officially started filming.

Compared to "300", "The Pursuit of Happyness" is much easier to shoot.

Of course, filming is easy, but his requirements have become higher and he requires very high acting skills from the actors.

"300" is about muscles, fighting, and war scenes, while "The Pursuit of Happyness" is about the struggle of the protagonist.

So if Smith made a slight mistake, he would reshoot it.

But Smith is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is his son.

"Smith, let's talk privately." Shi Lei shouted to Smith.

The two came to a remote corner. Shi Lei looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. He said, "This child is not good! You lost your job and took him around everywhere. He had to live in shelters, public toilets, and even sleep on the streets. After this kind of experience, such a young child should..."

“Well, have you ever seen the kids from the ghetto?”

"You have been unemployed for not a few days or months, but two or three years. Even if you feed him, sleeping on the streets for so long will cause him some physical and mental problems."

Smith frowned, "There is indeed this problem. You are the director, just tell us how to solve it."

"Well, let him go and see the homeless, go to the black area and see how the children there live, and let him experience life for a few days." Shi Lei gave the solution directly.

Of course, he didn't have high hopes for a child. He just hoped that the child wouldn't act so spiritedly, and that the child's clothes wouldn't be too good.

Even if the clothes are clean, at least they are washed white.

"Okay, I'll take him there." Smith agreed readily.

It's just a few days of experiencing life, which is not a problem for an actor. His son also wants to be an actor in the future, so this difficulty can be overcome.

"You take him with you? Then our filming will have to stop. You need to talk to the producer about this."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the producer." Smith responded and turned to leave.

Shi Lei nodded without commenting.

The film was produced by Columbia, but Smith was in charge.

Smith has high ambitions. Not only does he want to win an Oscar, he also wants to promote his children.

If he remembered correctly, several films were made to promote this child, but none of them became popular in the end.

That evening, Shi Lei received a message from the producer that the entire crew would stop filming for a few days.

The next day Smith invited him to go with him, but he declined.

See the homeless? Go to the black area? Even if he followed Smith, he didn't want to go to those places.

What if there's a gunfight?
It’s safer to stay in a crew with security forces.

His itineraries in North America were all in urban areas with high safety factors, and he would not even go to areas with slightly worse security.

When walking outside, safety is the most important thing.

Five days later, Smith returned to the crew with his child. The two got to know more about real unemployed people. The first things that changed were their attire and makeup.

My clothes became worse and I became a little thinner.

Shi Lei also slightly changed the script, for example, the child forced a smile to encourage his father, and after his father left, the light in his eyes instantly disappeared.

To shoot this scene, he asked the children to imagine 'losing their favorite toy'.

Unfortunately, the effect was always a little worse. Finally, Smith came up with a solution to make the child lose the light in his eyes.
