Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Chapter 70 I'm leaving first (Seeking first subscription)

"Baby, I've done the math. If we take on more roles this year, we can start thinking about buying a house next year."

Dilraba and Shen Ze were on the phone, and as they talked, the conversation turned to housing. Perhaps she had some money in her account and was thinking about owning her own place, since she was still renting a small room that wasn't even an apartment.

The next day, Dilraba transferred the money directly to Shen Ze's bank card, a total of 200,000 yuan. Shen Ze's bank card was still with Dilraba, which was very convenient, as Shen Ze always used mobile banking.

Shen Ze didn't delay. He didn't actually have much time to stay at home after the New Year; he had to go to work on "Monkey King: Hero Is Back."

The dubbing was done, and it would only last until the Lantern Festival at most. He quickly took Shen Yan to the city to look at shops, gave the money to his parents, and let them decide for themselves; maybe they could save it.

"You think there's an opportunity here? We're almost out of the city." Shen Yan was actually a little confused. Not to mention Shen Yan, even Shen Ze didn't understand. But he didn't need to worry about this. He could just take advantage of the situation.

After two busy days, he called any shop he saw for sale. The prices weren't too high, and were about what Shen Ze had estimated. He paid 100,000 yuan, and his family paid 40,000 yuan, and they bought a shop next door to Dilireba's shop for 200,000 yuan. The place Shen Ze chose was the most prosperous place in his memory.

Shen Ze was also a little emotional. In his previous life, he was so old, but he had never spent so much money at once. In this life, he didn't feel any pain at all when he spent it. This is the security of having a guaranteed return.

He didn't plan to open a few more shops; that would be enough. He wanted to be careful if there was a butterfly effect.

The money was paid readily, and the transaction went smoothly. Next, the renovation would have to be handled by Shen Yan. The shop had to be opened, and there would be additional subsidies for opening the shop, which involved demolition compensation.

And that's how it happened. Sometimes, you can only do what you want if you have money.

"At the time, I was thinking of taking the civil service exam. I never expected that your industry would be so lucrative." Shen Ze actually took out 100,000 yuan, and his family was quite surprised when they learned that Shen Ze's total income last year was more than 250,000 yuan before tax.

"Mom, those big stars make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year. My brother can earn much more in this line of work than by taking the civil service exam," Shen Yan said.

"Is it stable or not?"

"Whether it's stable or not, he's still young, let him work on it first. My younger brother is already playing the second male lead." Shen Ze's family pays close attention to him and knows about his work trajectory. Shen Ze also shared the good news with his family.

"By the way, little brother, some of my classmates wanted your contact information, but I turned them away. You're quite popular these days," Shen Yan said with a smile.

They had a very happy Spring Festival. Shen Ze made contributions to the family, and for that alone, Shen Chun and Lin Fengxia felt proud.

Something interesting happened while visiting relatives. When Shen Ze and Shen Yan went to their maternal grandmother's house with their parents, he was walking around alone when he was hit on by a woman he didn't know. The problem was that the woman was related to him. It was quite a story, but thankfully only the two of them knew about it.

A happy New Year has passed. Classmate reunion, visiting relatives, nothing was missed. I even found a renovation team and enrolled Lin Fengxia in a hot pot training course in the city. I'm grateful to my boastful fellow townsman and my parents who used to regret it. I've heard them say so many times that I'm tired of it.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Ze spent it in Shanghai with Dilraba. It has to be said, this is the drama "Diamond Lover."

The filming period was quite long, making it the longest film crew Dilraba has ever worked on.

"The male lead's schedule is all set, how interesting! Now the second male lead even has an ending where he ends up with the female lead, isn't that hilarious?"

"I'm worried now. It's all so chaotic. I wonder if the TV series will be a complete mess when it comes out." Dilraba was complaining to Shen Ze. As someone who was directly involved, she naturally knew the script, and she herself was a little helpless.

"It's okay, let's just do our own thing. Why do you look so tired? You even have dark circles under your eyes." Shen Ze frowned as he looked at Dilireba.

"What else could it be for? It's for physical training, of course. The start date for 'Six Doors' has been set for next month, so we need to get started training now," Dilraba said.

"It's settled, what date?" Shen Ze asked.

"We'll start filming on the 8th, but it might not be finished here yet. We'll have to run back and forth, which is really inconvenient. I'm suffering, and this is all I can say to myself," Dilraba said, her words sounding like a little rhyme.

"Take a break whenever you can. Career is important, but health is important too." Shen Ze didn't just casually offer the usual platitudes about the importance of health. He said that work can be put on hold if possible, and that this wasn't something he could just make up or ask for leave on a whim. This was competition.

Saying those empty and superficial things is useless. Dilraba has to endure everything she has now in order to become the top female celebrity standing at the pinnacle of popularity.

Although Jiaxing didn't treat Shen Ze very well, they were genuinely nurturing Dilraba. Of course, Dilraba was also lucky; with the company's help, she landed a proper leading role in a TV drama, not a short web series like "Backlight Lovers," but a full-fledged TV series.

A hit drama can directly boost an artist's career, and indirectly so too can a hit drama. With the success of "Swords of Legends," Dilraba Dilmurat, who starred in it, naturally took a step ahead of other artists in the same company.

Previously, everyone was in the same boat, playing the third female lead or an important supporting role. However, with the huge success of "Swords of Legends," Dilraba took the opportunity to land the lead role in "City of Light," becoming the first newcomer from Jaywalk Studio to star in the series.

Jiaxing Media is a company that cultivates artists, and it can't rely solely on Yang Mi. Therefore, it's important who takes the first step. Dilraba also has her own unique characteristics and memorable moments. After taking on "Diamond Lover," she was also lucky. The female lead's drama "My Sunshine" became a hit. Dilraba didn't participate in this drama, but as a modern drama, "Diamond Lover" had a higher chance of becoming popular than other dramas.

At this time, when the original cast of "Swords of Legends" and "Legend of Fragrance" were about to film "Six Doors", Yang Mi and Zeng Jia, who had worked closely with the production team, also put in a lot of effort to push Dilraba to the position of the female lead.

At this point, Dilraba officially took a step ahead of the other female artists in the company. In fact, before "Swords of Legends" became popular, they were all in similar positions. For example, Li Xirui played the third female lead in "Legend of Fragrance," which was the same position as Dilraba in "Swords of Legends."

"I know, if you don't have any projects, will you stay with me?" Dilraba said.

"Okay," Shen Ze said.

"The company too, I've already asked Sister Jia, but they just won't help you get a role in the drama. I'll ask again later," Dilraba pouted.

"You even mentioned it to the company? Don't bring this up. This drama doesn't belong to the company. They've already put in a lot of effort to put you on the lead role," Shen Ze said.
