Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Zhang Xianzong, my tooth hurts." Chen Yao covered her face and looked at the camera.

"Passed." Lin Yufen's voice rang out, and the scene immediately became lively.

"Thank goodness we made it through, otherwise I would have been burned to a crisp." Shen Ze said as he stood up. This was his last scene, and he never expected that it would actually be the last game. Zhang Xianzong finished filming, and so did he.

"Come on, you weren't in the fire. If you were, I might have passed it on the first try," Chen Yao said.

"Oh my, at such a young age, you're thinking so ruthlessly. You really miss me, don't you? I'm still in the fire." Shen Ze laughed.

"Congratulations Shen Ze on wrapping up filming! What are you chatting about? Be careful not to develop feelings for each other. Hurry up and cut the cake!" Wang Yanlin rushed out before he could say more than a few words to Chen Yao.

We're all young people, and these days we don't really distinguish between different social classes. We chat and laugh together, and when we have time, we might even go to karaoke or something. We're pretty good colleagues, so we can talk to each other quite casually.

Shen Ze was the first among the young people to finish filming. Because he was the second male lead, he received some recognition. Although it wasn't a huge cake like a painting, he still got a cake about ten inches in size, which was enough to show his appreciation.

The production crew's lack of funds stems from various factors; the budget is limited. The fact that they provided a cake already shows they value the production.

"Thank you all for taking care of me all this time. Thank you, director. Thank you, brothers," Shen Ze said gratefully.

"No, Shen Ze, where are the sisters? We're not human!" Jin Chen suddenly said.

"Yeah, we're not human." Chen Yao chimed in, joining in the fun.

Amidst laughter and chatter, filming for the first movie officially wrapped up, and Shen Ze was able to spend a decent year with his earnings.

Filming wrapped up late at night, and they left early the next morning. He had been preparing to leave at any time for the past two days, and he didn't feel any reluctance. As a fan, he might want to get closer to his idol, but for the actor himself, although the atmosphere on set is sometimes not bad, it's just work. How many people can truly enjoy their work?

……

Shanghai.

"Baby, you're finally here! I'm exhausted." In the evening, Shen Ze opened the door, and Dilireba rushed in, hugging him tightly.

"Why are you here? Didn't I say I was coming to find you?" Shen Ze said.

"I want to see you as soon as possible. Have you missed me?" Dilraba said.

"Of course I miss you." The two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Ever since their anniversary when they met once in between, they would visit each other every few days, though it was a bit tiring.

However, this matter only stopped recently when Dilraba went to South Korea to film. After all, the male lead of "Diamond Lover" is Korean. There were already filming plans, and he had only just returned a few days ago. He went to film some locations, such as several filming locations of the hugely popular Asian drama "My Love from the Star".

"When will you and Yang Mi film your movie?" Dilraba asked. Shen Ze was in Shanghai for work as well, for the movie version of "My Sunshine".

"It'll be in the next couple of days, just wait and see. There's not much plot, just a few lines," Shen Ze said.

"That's already pretty good. Look, the TV series is a hit, and if the movie also does well at the box office, it'll be a valuable resume," Dilraba said.

"That's true." Shen Ze didn't refute. He actually knew that the movie was terrible and couldn't compare to the TV series. The TV series was a real blockbuster, incredibly popular. In his previous life, he felt that the TV series was quite popular and famous, but in this life, he was calculating and knew even more about how popular the TV series was.

The 85 Flowers are truly amazing, one hit after another. Yang Mi's "Swords of Legends" was a huge hit a while ago, and "My Sunshine" was a huge hit at the beginning of the year.

The TV series "He Yichen: A Lifetime of Cultivation" is a bit of a mystery. I wonder if the movie version will face any pressure. I don't know the actors' mindset, but the director and producers of the movie version should be quite happy. The TV series is a hit, which will definitely attract a lot of viewers to watch the movie version.

It's a pity that the filming started too late. If it had been filmed earlier, it might have made it to the Valentine's Day slot. Now it's definitely too late. But I guess it will be released sooner. They're filming overtime. I heard they didn't even take a break during the Spring Festival. That's scary.

"By the way, has it been decided yet? Will there be a holiday for the Spring Festival?" Shen Ze asked, thinking about the New Year.

"I don't know, but it seems like it's not going to air yet. They're filming right now, and there's still a lot of footage they haven't shot," Dilraba said.

"It's her fault for being late, but I guess no one dares to say anything. She's a big star, and just when she joined the cast, 'My Sunshine' became a hit. What kind of luck is that?" Shen Ze stroked Dilraba's back, and she was lying on him like a cat.

"Yeah, I'm envious, but it's okay, they don't give holidays anyway," Dilraba said.

"Silly girl, they're from Shanghai, so they can go home for New Year's Eve dinner. What about you? Never mind, you guys don't seem to care much about the Spring Festival," Shen Ze said. In his girlfriend's hometown, the Spring Festival wasn't a big holiday.

The two of them snuggled together, listening to each other's heartbeats, and chatting about their recent experiences. It was a very warm and cozy time. However, since they were both young men and women, the atmosphere could become ambiguous the moment their eyes met.

"No, I just want to try it." But Dilraba is a bit of a troublemaker.

"Stop messing around, hey, we can't film this." Shen Ze was startled. Where did he learn such a bad habit?

"What are you afraid of? Ah, stop making trouble, okay?" Dilraba felt a lightness in her body and quickly said.

Her boyfriend is great, but there's a slight sense of disharmony. In the past, they both suffered losses, which was pretty much the same. But her boyfriend is still growing, and she can clearly feel the difference, especially since she loves helping Shen Ze with his medical checkups.

Shen Ze sometimes couldn't understand why Dilraba loved taking photos and posing for pictures. He hadn't noticed it before, but it wasn't a big problem. After the photo-taking incident, everyone became very cautious about these things.

Another night of fooling around. In the middle of the night, she reluctantly sent Dilireba back to her hotel. She was really not afraid and even wanted Shen Ze to sleep in her room, not even afraid that her assistant would find out.

However, it seems the company already knows about their relationship. It's not about dating, but about them meeting up after leaving the set. They even called to discuss it, but no one listened.

The next day, Shen Ze went alone to a supermarket on Dongping Road, an organic food store, and saw a group of people gathered at the entrance, along with filming equipment. Shen Ze knew he had found the right place.

Once she arrived in Shanghai, she no longer had an assistant. The entertainment industry and companies are quite pragmatic, strictly adhering to the level of fame.

I glanced around and saw a familiar face, Zhao Ruoyao. I have to say, big stars are different. He and Dilraba both use assistants arranged by the company, but their manager and leader, Zhao Ruoyao, is also an assistant to Yang Mi, just the kind of assistant with subordinates. This is what you call a proper executive agent.
