Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Shen Ze did indeed pay attention to Tangren Media, but he most likely wouldn't go, unless there really wasn't a better opportunity, since he had to consider Dilraba's feelings.

Gulnazar is quite capable; she can accomplish something by both seeking revenge and helping others, and you can't really blame her. However, it seems that for her, this is actually a troublesome matter. It seems that she really harbors some resentment towards herself; it's been three years already.

Tangren Media's most famous artists are undoubtedly its top male and female stars, Hu Ge and Liu Shishi. Coincidentally, the former is one of Shen Ze's few idols, while the latter is beautiful, sentimental, and a member of the "85 Flowers" (a term referring to actresses born in the 1980s), among other labels.

These two are already top-tier celebrities in the film and television industry. Below them is Gulnazar, and there don't seem to be any other very popular artists for the time being.

Tangren Media is also a somewhat declining company. They are a company with the ability to produce their own dramas. Their previous works, such as the "Chinese Paladin" series and "Xuan-Yuan Sword", were very famous TV series.

Although it is not as powerful as it once was, and there are many competing companies, such as Huanrui, it is still a behemoth to Shen Ze.

However, for Shen Ze, it didn't matter whether Tangren Film and Television was declining or not, as long as he could help activate the system.

……

"Baby, did you miss me?" After getting off the train, Dilraba glanced around, then ran straight to Shen Ze, hugged him, and greedily inhaled his familiar scent.

"Yes, I want to, but I don't need the luggage." Shen Ze hugged her and quickly pulled the suitcase up.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted." After getting into the taxi, Dilraba leaned against Shen Ze and complained.

"I told you not to come back, that I could go there alive, but you wouldn't listen." Shen Ze stroked her hair.

"That's different. We agreed that on our birthdays, no matter what, even if it's raining knives, we'd be together. How can I let you come to me on your birthday? I'm not that selfish," Dilraba muttered.

She came back specifically to celebrate Shen Ze's birthday. She is currently filming an ancient costume drama series in Hengdian. After finishing "The Ladder of Desire," she didn't rest and went straight into filming again. Compared to before, it's a sweet trouble.

For aspiring actors, although they all dream of becoming big stars, the reality is that they all know it's just a job. In the entertainment industry, being able to act means income, which is naturally sweet.

"Baby, I hope you can be happy every day in the future, blowing out candles and making wishes." In a Western restaurant, Dilraba celebrated Shen Ze's birthday. It was just the two of them, simple and warm.

"What did you wish for?" Dilireba asked as she watched Shen Ze blow out the candles.

"Won't it come true if I say it out loud?" Shen Ze said. What kind of wish was he making? He was just pretending to blow out the candles.

"Okay, but I know that I'm definitely in your wishes, baby. Ta-da, here's your birthday present." Dilraba rested her chin on her hand, looked at her boyfriend with a happy expression, and then took out the gift.

"What is this, a camera?" Looking at the object in front of me, the dark brown camera shape just felt so cartoonish.

"Ultra camera, you can use this to take some beautiful photos of me, won't you be happy?" Dilraba said.

"I'm so happy, you've struck it rich! You're buying luxury goods now." Shen Ze didn't know what to say, then looked at another gift; he recognized the LV logo.

"It's not as expensive as you think, it's just a small item, but baby, I think it's worth it. I'm giving you this wallet because I hope you can make a lot of money and take very good care of me," Dilraba said.

"Yes, Dilireba, are you tired?" Shen Ze understood that this should be the real gift. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere changed a little. Dilireba seemed to think of something and blushed a little. Shen Ze suddenly said something, and before she could say anything more, the two held hands and went home.

After eating and drinking some red wine to liven things up, it's easy to imagine what happened next.

In fact, Shen Ze was really looking forward to this birthday. There are many holidays throughout the year, but it is on birthdays that one can go a little too far. Dilireba can only cross the line on birthdays.

This is also why Dilraba was embarrassed. Even though they've been married for a long time, she still blushed because she knew that Shen Ze was definitely going to use some strange methods again. To be honest, she felt a little embarrassed. Couldn't you be a little more proper? This is not healthy at all.

"Wow." Patting Dilraba's back and watching her rinse her mouth, Shen Zezhi was smug. Birthdays are great, they have to be celebrated. Anniversaries can be a little more extravagant than usual, but compared to a birthday, they are far from enough. Last year on her birthday, Dilraba tacitly allowed him to use her mouth, but only for a short while.

For future anniversaries, we might add a little more time, but this birthday was a big step forward; he was made to confess directly. Normally, Dilraba wouldn't have agreed to this.

"I rolled my eyes, can't you see? You want to kill me? You'll see on my birthday," Dilraba said.

"No need to wait, I'll help you now." Shen Ze raised an eyebrow. Although he was also a little hesitant, people have to be fair, and it's all about fun.

"Dream on, you want a reward too?" Dilraba said helplessly. What to do when your boyfriend is so shameless?

"How did the signing go? Any follow-ups?" After finishing their business, the two hugged and chatted about work and career.

"Huayi can sign a contract, but they haven't promised any resources. Those small companies that are just trying to take advantage of the situation are just picking up the scraps. Enlight Media probably won't stand a chance. There aren't many options," Shen Ze said.

Nowadays, some companies have started recruiting on campuses, and he has received some opportunities. But as he said, even if a big company can sign you, you still have to make it on your own. Huayi Brothers is notorious for being a graveyard for newcomers.

"Didn't you say you were particularly optimistic about that Mahua FunAge?" Dilraba asked.

"I tried out for Happy Twist, but there was no follow-up. They wanted someone focused on stage plays, which is a bit of a contradiction. Big companies have more resources, so the competition is more about training, and newcomers have no say. Small companies are unreliable," Shen Ze said.

This interview experience taught me that signing with a company isn't particularly difficult, but getting someone like Dilraba, who's actually offered several roles, is extremely challenging.

Shen Ze didn't want to just find any company. He wasn't opposed to signing a contract, but he couldn't be too casual about it; the company needed to provide support.

"But there's a company I can consult, Tangren Media, the company of my idol Hu Ge. They seem to have high hopes for me," Shen Ze said. Tangren Media had contacted him first, probably with the help of Gulnazar.

"Tangren Media, Hu Ge, that's not Gulnazar's company, you're not allowed to go. Could it be that she introduced you to it?" Dilireba's IQ immediately went online.

"What do you think about all day?" Shen Ze did not answer directly.

"Oh, she's not jealous. She trusts you the most. Her relationship with you isn't that great. She's just trying to annoy me. Don't fall for it." Dilraba hugged Shen Ze's head and tried to brainwash him.
