Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Baby, you won't have to work so hard anymore. I feel tired for you taking such a long green train ride every week." Dilraba said as she walked, linking arms with Shen Ze.

"What, you all agreed that you don't have to go to school in your third year?" Shen Ze knew why she said that; if she went to school again, she would be a third-year student.

In film academies, there's an unwritten rule that's not strictly a rule: it's incredibly difficult for freshmen and sophomores to get leave to film, unless it's a script approved by the teachers and they're playing a major role. But it's not so strict in juniors. As for seniors, even students from ordinary universities are doing internships, let alone those working in the film and television industry.

Dilraba is a junior in college, which means she will have more free time and will spend more time in Beijing. In the film and television industry, there is a practice called "running around to different production teams," which involves auditioning for various projects. Coincidentally, Beijing is the main base for the formation of production teams for major projects in the entertainment industry.

The Sun Palace Hotel, Sunshine Hotel, and other similar establishments are key locations for film crews to meet and meet. Shen Ze and his team also have opportunities to directly recruit from film crews near the Beijing Film Academy. All things considered, these locations offer a much greater chance of success than the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Reba is an undergraduate student at the Beijing Film Academy. Although she doesn't have to wait for roles at the gathering place for extras outside the Beijing Film Studio, she still has to do the unavoidable work of running around to different film crews.

"How could I not go? It's so convenient to take leave, and we can see each other more often. Aren't you happy?" Dilraba said.

"I'm happy, I've almost finished asking about all the houses," Shen Ze said.

"You're so mean, I don't plan to live with you," Dilraba said.

"Alright, I'll find someone else," Shen Ze joked.

"Who? You've been seeing someone behind my back." Dilraba's expression changed, and she pinched him hard.

"Just kidding, just teasing you." Shen Ze quickly reassured her. When he was with Reba, everything was fine, except for one thing: her temper wasn't very good.

However, Shen Ze could accept it. Beautiful women are used to being pampered by society from a young age, so it's normal for them to have bad tempers. He could accept it. She gave you her first time, so what's wrong with putting up with it?

She's usually a gentle girl, but she's hard to coax when she's angry. However, he sometimes likes to tease her.

"That would be for the best. If I find out you're half-hearted, I'll cut you off immediately." Dilraba made a gesture.

"Understood," Shen Ze said.

"By the way, Gulnazar from your class is doing pretty well now. I saw her on Happy Camp," Dilraba said.

"I declare that she and I are just classmates, and I'm completely innocent," Shen Ze quickly said.

"What are you thinking? She's a celebrity, why would she be interested in you?" Dilraba understood that Shen Ze thought she was testing him.

It wasn't a test. What happened back then is in the past. They didn't have much contact afterward. Mainly, her boyfriend would come to Shanghai to see her on Sundays and they would talk on the phone every day, so she felt at ease. What woman would be interested in a woman who already has a boyfriend?

However, she did pay attention to this junior. They came from the same school and both had exotic features. In terms of development, she had indeed fallen behind quite a bit.

"She is indeed doing well, but I believe your future will not be worse than hers," Shen Ze said.

"You're good at sweet talk." Even though I said that, I was still happy.

This summer, Shen Ze and Dilraba looked at apartments together near the school. He did have a target apartment in mind, as renting an apartment outside the school is quite normal. For example, two of his roommates were already living outside the school and had started dating, so it was definitely inconvenient for them to stay in the dorm.

After carefully selecting a place that was roughly the same, Shen Ze gritted his teeth as he paid. It was expensive—three months' rent in one go. Luckily, his sister had already started working, so he could properly use his skills: "Sis, are you there?"

This also shows that it's good to have a girlfriend who is genuinely helpful. Shen Ze didn't expect his girlfriend to spend any money, but she voluntarily contributed several thousand yuan. His girlfriend is much richer than Shen Ze, after all, in addition to the living expenses given by her family, she also has some income from her occasional job, unlike Shen Ze, who is just sitting around and living off his savings.

Besides renting a place, Shen Ze also followed Dilraba to different film sets. The result was embarrassing. When they found out that he would only be a sophomore at the Beijing Film Academy in a few months, there was no follow-up. Shen Ze couldn't guarantee that he would be able to fully cooperate with the film crew's schedule.

However, setbacks in her career cannot overshadow her happiness in her personal life. She is now living with Dilraba Dilmurat, and she will no longer have to endure the pain of separation. She can save thousands of yuan on round-trip train tickets each month.

He has 2,000 yuan for living expenses each month, half of which is spent on train travel. He earns some lucky money during the Chinese New Year, and Shen Yan helps him. Occasionally, Dilireba even has to buy him tickets.

"This is also a housewarming celebration for us." The house isn't big, with one room and one bathroom, and a window. It's decorated very warmly. With a woman around, it's definitely different. Reba has put a lot of thought into it. As for Shen Ze, he just needs to do the work.

"I believe that you will definitely be able to take me to live in a big house in the future," Dilraba said.

"I believe it too. Hot, why don't you have a drink?" Shen Ze said.

"I won't drink it. I'm warning you, don't even think about doing anything bad while I'm happy. Can't you be a little more mindful of this?" Dilraba's face was flushed.

She already knew what kind of person her boyfriend was. At first, it was fine; they lived a normal life. But later, he tried to do something different. She was too embarrassed to even hear about it, let alone do it. She vetoed him. However, she was very happy today, so why not give it a try?

Don't you know who I am?

"That's why I despise you. Don't make any rash moves." Dilireba half-heartedly pushed and half-pushed, and then sat on Shen Ze's lap.

Both of their faces were a little red. Shen Ze had also drunk some alcohol. He didn't actually like drinking, but it wouldn't be right to let Dilireba drink all the time, so he could only keep her company. And that's how it ended.

This liquor was bought by Dilraba at the supermarket. It's a local specialty. At first, it didn't taste very strong, but after a while, it got a bit intoxicating.

A moment later, strange noises came from inside the room. Soon after, it was a woman's voice cursing, saying things like "You attacked me," and it was quite a scene.

On their first day of living together, Dilraba fulfilled one of Shen Ze's wishes. Of course, there was a price to pay: Shen Ze couldn't get up the next day because he was too excited.

Although he works out, he's still just an ordinary person. His relationship with Dilraba is just a matter of personal connection, and he needs to take it easy occasionally when things get exciting.

This was also a little scheme of Dilraba's. Actually, she really wanted Shen Ze to be quick like the first time, so that if he bullied her, she could say, "Bully her to death."

However, it seems she succeeded; the guy couldn't resist. But she just felt a little ashamed.

Shen Ze felt that this summer vacation after his rebirth was the happiest, without exception, even happier than when they first got together.

I had a very enjoyable summer vacation, and I even watched "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky".
