Reborn in the Chinese Entertainment Industry: You're a Director, But You're a Casanova?

At 11 p.m. that night, after hanging up the phone, Zhuzhu sent a text message with a detailed address, down to the building number, unit number, and apartment number.

Having seen so many shy female college students, this was the first time Liu Yuehua had met such a proactive older sister.

Half an hour later, Liu Yuehua arrived at a high-end serviced apartment near the University of Technology and Business.

As soon as the door opened, an unidentifiable fragrance wafted out.

Zhu Zhu, only 19 years old, was wearing a silk slip dress and holding a cup of coffee.

Liu Yuehua was a little curious. Wasn't this woman's family quite wealthy?

Why is this nightgown so plain? I can't bear to look at it, it's enough to make a grown man like me feel stressed.

Because the nightgown had very little fabric, it clung to her enviable curves, and the tension of the fibers could be seen with every breath.

Liu Yuehua walked in, his gaze quickly sweeping over the apartment's furnishings.

Genuine leather sofa, wow, this sound system must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, right?

The furniture and appliances in the house alone, plus the rent for this location, are definitely not something an ordinary college student or freelance writer could afford.

"Why are you standing there motionless? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Zhu Zhu walked over and sat on the sofa, crossing her long legs and looking at him with a half-smile in her peach blossom eyes.

Liu Yuehua took half a step back and sat down on another single sofa some distance away.

"I won't drink coffee; it's too late to fall asleep."

Liu Yuehua looked at Zhuzhu, his eyes clear.

"Sister, let's be frank. To survive in this world, you need connections and influence."

"The rent for this apartment, plus your outfit, is simply not something an ordinary family can afford."

"I had heard about you before I contacted you; your family background is extraordinary, and you have a strong backing."

Zhuzhu smiled and did not deny it.

"I, Liu Yuehua, am just an ordinary person. I cheat rich people and take advantage of them. You could call it a business game."

Liu Yuehua spoke cautiously.

"But I will absolutely not touch those unspeakable Cthulhu."

"It's the middle of the night, and I'm having coffee with you here. What if tomorrow morning your family stuffs me in a sack and throws me into the river?"

"Or you could force me to give up the whole forest and sign some kind of lifelong contract with you. That's not a good deal."

"I never do high-risk, low-liquidity, unfinished projects."

Upon hearing this pragmatic analysis, Zhuzhu covered her mouth and giggled, her laughter causing the breathtaking blackness on her chest to tremble violently.

"Director Liu, you must have watched a lot of gangster movies when you were in Hong Kong, right? There was even one where a body was dumped in the river."

Zhu Zhu put down her coffee, swayed over to Liu Yuehua, and straddled one of his thighs.

She lowered her head, leaned close to Liu Yuehua's ear, and breathed softly, making Liu Yuehua's earlobe feel hot and his heart itch.

"Put your mind at ease, tonight's event is just an in-depth, exclusive interview for us."

"It doesn't involve any long-term commitment or investment. You give me exclusive news, and I'll give you all the traffic on the internet."

"You help me get the public opinion value I want, and I'll help you provide some high-quality emotional value and stress relief services."

Zhu Zhu's slender fingers gently slid along Liu Yuehua's collar.

"Adults only talk about resource exchange, not emotional entanglements."

"Once we get out of bed, you're still your great director, and I'm still my little editor."

"Is Director Liu satisfied with this disclaimer?"

Now that things have come to this point, if you continue to act all serious, you'll just look like a eunuch.

"I admire Editor-in-Chief Zhu's sense of contractual responsibility." Liu Yuehua put his arm around Zhuzhu's slender waist.

"Now that the disclaimer has been signed, let's begin tonight's exclusive interview."

……

As a fashion editor who is well-versed in media interviewing, Zhuzhu clearly knows how to control the pace of an interview.

She first closed the distance with the interviewee and conducted a detailed microphone test.

The host chatted amiably, using professional recording equipment to skillfully capture signals at key points in the interview, ensuring normal sound quality without any background noise.

The opening of this in-depth report is full of linguistic provocation and instigation.

But Liu Yuehua, having lived two lives and being a seasoned veteran of alcohol, could not possibly be willing to relinquish his voice to others.

After a brief period of probing, Liu Yuehua took the initiative, tearing away the host's pretense and directly steer the interview to its core topic.

Unlike interviews like "Qiang Qiang San Ren Xing" that can be broadcast live on television, this exclusive interview was private and full of routine.

The ensuing formal interview was a true contest between two equally matched opponents.

Young Zhuzhu is very knowledgeable; the knowledge in her mind is like a dictionary that can provide answers at will.

No matter how tricky Liu Yuehua's approach to the topic is, or how frequently he probes,

Zhuzhu always manages to retaliate with perfect words and actions, seamlessly transitioning between them.

The event proceeded from the branch venues all the way to the main venue.

Liu Yuehua is like an editor-in-chief frantically working on a manuscript before the deadline. Every keystroke he strikes on the keyboard is powerful, reaching the core of the article.

Each in-depth analysis drew praise and feedback from reporter Zhuzhu.

"Director Liu, isn't this draft a bit too explicit?"

Zhuzhu's voice became a little hoarse from helping with the proofreading.

So engrossed was she in reading that tears welled up in her eyes.

"How can you grab attention for entertainment headlines if you don't go for something risqué?"

Do you know what "one center and two basic points" means?

Liu Yuehua sensed that the interviewer was impressed by his extensive knowledge. He smiled with satisfaction and continued to control the pace of the entire project.

Since it's an in-depth interview, we have to dig into every detail, analyze the person's inner world, and leave no blind spots.

As the deadline approached, Liu Yuehua typed faster and faster, escalating the conflict in the entire report to its peak.

The inexperienced Zhuzhu also reached her limit. After reading the shocking report from beginning to end, she was also moved to tears.

Finally, it's time to submit the manuscript.

With a final analysis of the character's inner thoughts, Liu Yuehua finally clicked send.

This viral headline, which had been building up emotions and traffic all night, was finally completed, pushed out effectively, and instantly surged to the top of the traffic charts.

This was the first time the server had handled such a large volume of traffic. It didn't react in time, and after its bandwidth was completely overwhelmed, it issued several consecutive overload alarms, started radiating heat, and crashed.

Liu Yuehua patted the server.

"I understand that this is the first time I've read the draft. You'll need to practice more in the future to improve the server's capacity."

After maintaining the server, the intern editor, like a lazy cat, lay listlessly in the arms of the writer, her body aching all over.

"Director Liu, your interviewing style is much more ruthless than the movies you make."

Zhuzhu looked radiant, exuding a lazy air of contentment after a good meal.

"It's just basic procedure. I need you to go to the screening at the Beijing Film Academy in a couple of days. If Old Man Lu dares to publicly renege on his promise, you should immediately release a press release."

"I've even thought of a title for you: 'The Beijing elite who can't afford to lose: The collapse of academic hegemony behind a 1000 million yuan bet.'"

Zhuzhu's eyes lit up, her earlier fatigue vanished, and her ambition to make headlines was rekindled.

She leaned in and gave Liu Yuehua a big kiss on the lips.

"Don't worry, my great director, I'll keep all your exclusive rights for life."
