Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"What's wrong? What were you talking about? You don't look well." Seeing Dilraba return to her apartment looking lost in thought, Shen Ze knew that something must have happened at the company.

"Yang Mi contacted me today," Dilraba said.

"What did you talk about? Was it about that movie again?" Shen Ze asked.

"I guess so. I didn't mention 'Love in the Dark,' but I did talk about some things that are unavoidable when filming. The main thing was to tell me what a healthy relationship is," Dilraba said.

"What did she say?" Shen Ze knew that the crux of the matter had been found. Actually, he was quite speechless. It made him seem really petty. You can't fake the camera angle when you shoot, you can't not be so intimate. Just convey the meaning. It can only be said that they are not big stars and don't have many choices.

"She told me..." Dilraba actually did tell him, after all, in her eyes, Shen Ze was her man, and there were some things she couldn't hide from him.

"That old woman is too scheming. What does respect mean? She thinks this intimate scene is a good thing. If she likes to film it, she should take off her clothes and run naked in the street for everyone to see. The ratings would definitely be off the charts. Why drag others down with her?"

Don't be fooled by her. She's speaking from the company's perspective. Why doesn't she say that if she could help you turn down intimate scenes, and you still get the role, that would be a win-win situation and demonstrate the company's capabilities?

"Her so-called career is quite suitable for her. She's willing to do anything for popularity, without any bottom line. Okay, let's not follow her example." Shen Ze directly retorted. He originally had some sentimental feelings for older women, after all, he had the filter of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, but at this moment, they were completely shattered.

"But I'm really afraid the company will retaliate against you. I'm starting to regret it. I was only thinking about how we'd be together every day, and I forgot that after we signed the contract, the company would control us." Dilraba looked a little lost.

"Then I'll have to go to Tangren," Shen Ze said.

"Don't tease me. You think you can just go whenever you want? I may be jealous, but you're not anyone to them, so why would I help you?" Dilraba said.

"Maybe, okay, just kidding. Don't overthink it. Even if I don't sign with you, you'll still have to face this situation. There are some principles we still need to uphold."

Don't fall for this scheming woman's tricks. She sees everyone as a self-serving animal. Everyone loves money, but there should still be some bottom line.

However, she was right about one thing: your first thought should be whether you want to be willing, and everything should be based on your own thoughts. Shen Ze said.

"Hmm." Dilraba's brows were still furrowed with worry. Shen Ze watched this scene helplessly. He knew perfectly well that Dilraba was reluctant to give up this project. Not to mention being the first female lead, she was also reluctant to give up the profits.

However, she has to figure these things out herself. He has already told her his thoughts. He is not very willing, but if Reba agrees, he will not say anything.

Should he break up with her directly? He didn't know. Before the incident, he didn't know how to handle it. But how should he put it? He knew that his expectations for Reba were higher than anyone else's. But precisely because of this, even if she betrayed him in the slightest, Shen Ze might be more disappointed than others.

A woman who is your virgin will always have high expectations, but he also clearly understands that she is free and he can't control her.

This has nothing to do with his ability. He is capable, and Dilraba may be able to dodge once or twice, but there will always be a time when she has to make a choice. If he is always the one to cover for her, then the relationship will not be very interesting.

For the next two days, the two of them stayed in the small house and didn't go anywhere. Dilraba's work before "City of Backlight" was already finished, with only a little filming left, but it seemed that the company didn't contact her. Even though she knew this was the company's way of putting her in a difficult position, she was still unhappy.

Shen Ze is already concerned about how much it will cost to terminate the contract. A person who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. The Superstar System has been activated and will not be shut down. The company has been helping him, but now, things are obviously a little different, and he needs to prepare.

However, on the third day at home, Dilraba received a message that she went to the company. When she came back, she was happy and even brought Shen Ze his favorite fried chicken nuggets.

"Baby, I told you, Sister Mi is a good person. You can't call her an old woman anymore. The company said that Sister Mi specifically spoke up, and we can figure out a way to make intimate scenes. We can just use camera tricks. We won." Dilraba was very happy.

"Really? That's a good thing." Shen Ze smiled, sharing Dilireba's happiness. However, he wondered why it might be difficult to change partners.

Actually, the guess was pretty much right, but the company also put in the effort. This matter itself wasn't a big deal; it's just that the company felt the intimate scenes wouldn't have any impact. It's just that Dilraba wasn't happy about it, so they decided to communicate.

It's just a short drama anyway. The contract has already been signed. If the company doesn't make an effort to make it happen, and Dilraba really doesn't want to film it, the company can't do anything about it and will end up losing money. Normal companies wouldn't do something like this that results in a lose-lose situation.

As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about it later. The contract that has already been signed must be fulfilled. In comparison, if the company says that Dilraba's path is not suitable, the production team will understand. As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about it later.

"Did you hear that? They really put in a good word for you. They even said that if there's a TV series filming next time, they'll let me help you out. There's a jewelry drama that's currently auditioning actors, and the company has someone recommending you for it," Dilraba said.

"Alright, I won't call her an old woman anymore, okay? Why am I involved in this?" Shen Ze said, wondering if this was a case of slapping her and then giving her a sweet treat. Interesting.

"Maybe they think you have potential. Besides, it's your turn. The movie you were preparing for doesn't seem to be going to start this year. We can't just let you sit idle forever," Dilraba said.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say it would be filmed after October?" Shen Ze asked curiously.

"We need to coordinate with Yang Mi's schedule. From what we heard during our chat today, it seems that Yang Mi will officially make her comeback in October and then go to film a movie. As for the TV series, the male lead hasn't replied yet, so it might not be until next year."

"After all, this is the company's first TV series in production, so we need to be especially careful and ensure that Yang Mi is fully recovered," Dilraba said.

Yang Mi has actually been taking a break for a while, but because she has filmed so many projects, such as "The Breakup Guru" in June, "Tiny Times" in July, and "Swords of Legends" which is currently showing in theaters, it seems like she has never had a break.

"The new movie has a great chance. It's mainly controlled by DMG, and their company is a deep partner of ours. There's a good opportunity," Dilraba said happily.

"It's definitely a good opportunity," Shen Ze said, shutting down his computer. Just then, a news article flashed by. It was a job Shen Ze had found for himself, part of an experiment for his system. (Can you guess what it was?)
