Chinese entertainment industry has been booming since 2008.

On April 6th, Shu Chang finished filming his scenes in "Those Years".

For actors, wrapping up filming is a very common occurrence.

Many actors, whether famous or just extras, frequently travel between different film crews, and finishing filming is a regular occurrence for them!

On the night filming wrapped, Shu Chang left the crew without any big celebration. After all, he was just a minor supporting actor, so what was there to celebrate?

With Shu Chang's scenes wrapped up, the filming of the entire movie was coming to an end. There would be at most another week of filming. During this time, Zhang Yang's mind was constantly on edge.

To be honest, always being so tense is harmful to both your mental and physical health.

This is also why there are couples in the cast; actors need to release their emotions. Zhang Yang originally wanted to take the opportunity to win over Liu Yifei, but unfortunately, Liu Xiaoli was like a leech, sticking to him all day long, and he had no chance to make a move.

Fortunately, Guo Biting provided Zhang Yang with a way to release his emotions.

Sure enough, when Guo Biting received such a call, she rushed to the hotel where Zhang Yang was. However, the first thing she said was, "Director Zhang, can't you let me rest for a bit? You've ruined this place."

Guo Biting's words left Zhang Yang speechless. "Damn it, how can you talk to your sugar daddy like that?"

However, upon closer examination, although these words were sarcastic, they were actually a compliment to him.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, those girls put in so much sweat and effort, you should learn to respect their hard work.

Seeing Zhang Yang's somewhat embarrassed expression, Guo Biting, who had originally intended to say something, quickly changed her attitude to a pleading tone, saying, "Director Zhang, I've been so bored lately I'm starting to gain weight!"

"Hey, Snow Beer needs a model for their 'GG' shoot, I recommend you!"

Snow Beer?

Guo Biting was initially delighted, but then asked with some doubt, "Director Zhang, will Xuewei Beer use me? I'm not very famous in the Chinese entertainment industry."

"Don't worry, I'm the second son of Xuewei Beer. My sister is the head of the GG department, so she'll give me that much face."

Guo Biting, the second son of Xuewei Beer, blinked slightly, then said in a coquettish tone, "Director Zhang, could you sign me as your spokesperson?"

This guy is really overconfident and will take any opportunity to shine; he's really dreaming.

However, not wanting the profits to go to outsiders, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Sure, but the money might not be much. How about 300 million over two years?"

"300 New Taiwan Dollars is quite a lot, thank you Director Zhang."

Seeing Guo Biting's delighted expression, Zhang Yang said somewhat speechlessly, "It's 300 million RMB!"

Guo Biting came to Zhang Yang's side, hugged his arm and rubbed against him, saying in a coquettish voice, "Director Zhang, you said I'd open my own snack factory and then be the spokesperson myself..."

"What if something goes wrong?"

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes. This girl from Taiwan was really daydreaming and didn't think things through at all. If making food was that simple, why didn't he see many people doing it?

Guo Biting said somewhat dismissively, "What problems could possibly arise?"

Food safety!

Seeing Guo Biting's somewhat confused look, Zhang Yang said speechlessly, "Never mind, forget I said anything, come here!"

"what?"

"Fuck...you!"

......

An hour later, looking at Guo Biting leaning against his chest, Zhang Yang remembered her earlier suggestion. Speaking of which, so many celebrities in later generations have side businesses, such as Chef Xie and Chen Chichi.

"How about this, I'll register a milk tea brand, and you can be the nominal boss. I'll give you some shares and pay you a higher salary."

Zhang Yang wanted to open a milk tea shop because he had come up with an idea: to recreate some of the most popular snacks from later generations and have these women run them. This way, these women would be much quieter.

Of course, Zhang Yang wouldn't give out too many shares. If they can succeed, then they can succeed; if they can't, it doesn't matter. It's just giving women like Guo Biting a chance, so they won't bother him all the time.

In the era of internet traffic, it has become standard practice for any celebrity with a bit of popularity to open a store or establish their own streetwear brand, which can be considered a form of personal IP merchandise development.

The reason why celebrities are keen on doing side jobs is naturally because they can use their own fame to promote their side jobs. Those with a lot of fans can directly reap the benefits of their fans and make a lot of money.

In fact, many celebrities have tasted success in business and made it their main profession, completely retiring from the entertainment industry.

Of course, there are downsides too. For example, if the quality of trendy clothes is poor, it will affect the celebrity's reputation. Of course, fans probably don't care, since those who follow celebrities are all wealthy people.

"Director Zhang, you're so kind to them!"

"Then how will you repay me!"

"you guess!"

......

April 13th, Beijing, a five-star hotel!

The enormous crystal chandelier illuminated the banquet hall as if it were daytime, and the air was filled with the pleasant aroma of flowers, food, and champagne.

Liu Yifei wore a light purple dress, looking fresh and refined, as if she were still Shen Jiayi. She chatted quietly with familiar staff members, with a gentle smile on her face, but deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a trace of sorrow that was not easily detected.

Qiao Shan, Zhu Yilong, Chen Xiao, Shu Chang, and others chatted about embarrassing incidents that happened during filming.

After everyone had arrived, Zhang Yang, holding a champagne glass, walked to the makeshift stage, tapped his glass, and the entire room gradually quieted down, with all eyes falling on him.

Looking around the entire venue, Zhang Yang's gaze slowly swept over every face, from the photographers, lighting technicians, production assistants, to the main cast and crew.

"Everyone, over the past two months, in order to make 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' a success, we've been through rain together, stayed up all night together, repeatedly polished a single shot on set, and laughed until we couldn't stand up straight over a certain line..."

His words brought everyone back to that time filled with sweat and laughter, and many people's eyes began to glisten with tears.

"I remember Qiao Shan being so nervous in front of the camera that he forgot his lines the first time. I remember Yi Long's hard work in playing the role well. I remember Chen Xiao's serious analysis of the character that made us all laugh. Of course, I also remember how Qianqian perfectly presented the best Shen Jiayi in my heart time and time again."

Some of those whose names were called smiled shyly, while others clapped enthusiastically. Liu Yifei, on the other hand, lowered her head slightly, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Zhang Yang's tone became incredibly solemn: "This isn't just my film; it's a film created by everyone here, through your talent, hard work, and passion. Thank you!"

He raised his glass and bowed deeply.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and many emotional staff members couldn't help but wipe away tears.

After the applause subsided, Zhang Yang took a deep breath and spoke in a loud voice, filled with anticipation and blessings: "I wish our film great box office success! And I wish everyone here a bright future! Cheers!"

"Cheers!!!"

The entire audience stood up, the clinking of glasses creating a lively atmosphere, and laughter filled the wrap party once again.
