Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 102 The Main Wife's Dimensional Reduction Attack! The Little Octopus Reveals Its Identity and Takes Down D8! "The Abyss" Screening

[The No.1 Fan Group for Congee King Restaurant in Shanghai.]

"Xiao Tian, ​​Empress Tian—something terrible has happened! A female fighter has joined your company!"

"Your ecological niche has been stolen!"

After Dai Si announced that he had joined Lu Yunzhou's studio, Lu Yunzhou's fans were very happy to welcome him.

After all, Dai Si is a very rare female action star on the market.

Lu Yunzhou often reveals that he wants to work with real female action stars and dreams of making a real action movie.

Dai Si's arrival fulfilled half of Lu Yunzhou's dream.

As for the other half?

Then we'll have to wait for Lu Yunzhou to draw the "Action Superstar" talent—if he doesn't draw that talent and tries to become an action superstar on his own, he'll probably only get beaten up and won't be able to show off at all.

However, Dai Si's arrival will also affect the interests of some people.

For example, Tian Xiwei.

The girls in the group all know that Tian Xiwei is incredibly strong and spends all her time at the gym. She looks sweet and cute, but when she rolls up her sleeves, her muscles are more developed than many guys.

She's definitely a supermodel Barbie!

Therefore, Tian Xiwei is referred to as General Tian in the group.

"I'm not on the same path as Sister Dai Si. She's a top-notch supporting actress, but I have the opportunity to become a leading lady in the future."

Although Dai Si is quite good, he switched teams from Yang Mi's side and is not part of Lu Yunzhou's original team, so his level of trust is limited.

But she was different.

Like Wang Churan, she was Lu Yunzhou's personal warhorse!

The degree of closeness or distance between them is self-evident.

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore, I've been feeling a bit depressed lately."

Having been in Canada for over a month, Lu Yunzhou focused intently on his work every day, leaving Tian Xiwei and Liu Haocun with no opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The two kept a close eye on each other, not allowing either of them to make a move.

But gradually, the two reached a tacit understanding, giving each other a chance from time to time to see what the other could do.

Then, we learn from each other and each draws on our strengths.

Just when the two thought they were about to have the final say, an unexpected event occurred.

Zhang Ruonan is here!

The two had just revealed a little bit of ambition when Zhang Ruonan gave them a casual glance, and they immediately lowered their heads, turning into little quails, not daring to have any wild thoughts.

Even glancing at Lu Yunzhou made her feel like she was making a mistake.

It doesn't matter if they offend Wang Ran, there's nothing Wang Ran can do about it — Wang Ran herself is just an aunt, her position is illegitimate.

Offending Zhang Ruonan would be disastrous—because Zhang Ruonan is the legal representative of the family company.

After Lu Yunzhou makes his decision, Zhang Ruonan still needs to stamp it.

This matter cannot be completed without Zhang Ruonan's stamp.

"Cunzi, aren't you going to dance in the living room today?"

Tian Xiwei wasn't the only one feeling down.

At this time of day, after Lu Yunzhou returned home, Liu Haocun would deliberately place a yoga mat in the living room, twist her waist like a snake, and then flaunt her long legs.

But today, Liu Haocun was listless. He lay down on the bed, hugged the blanket, and went to sleep, not wanting to do anything.

Amidst the banter, Tian Xiwei opened her phone and saved a dmo song for Liu Hao.

"I heard you've found happiness too, I shouldn't struggle anymore!"

In the end, I realized my persistence was a joke!

"Unfortunately, I can't stop you from going to someone better."

"I just want to ask one question: Is he really good to you?"

A few days ago, when Lu Yunzhou returned home, he suddenly started humming a lively dance tune called "Longing Becomes a Disaster."

Liu Haocun choreographed a dance for this piece overnight.

When she danced, she always felt something was missing—Lu Yunzhou happened to notice and reminded her that she was missing a silk scarf.

When singing the line "Is he really good to you?", it would be more impactful to cover your eyes with a scarf and pretend you can't see it.

Since then, Liu Haocun, a dance student, did not shine at school, but found the perfect fusion of jazz dance and moonwalk in Lu Yunzhou's living room.

"Oda, you're so annoying!"

Upon hearing the dance music, Liu Haocun picked up a pillow and threw it at Tian Xiwei.

Because she couldn't stop Lu Yunzhou from heading towards the better Zhang Ruonan—all she wanted to ask now was, was Zhang Ruonan good to him?

Drink your porridge gently.

Don't drink it all, leave a sip for the ladies!

In another room.

Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan lay in bed together, watching the hottest TV series of the summer, "The First Half of My Life".

The "leading lady" vibe in this drama is just too obvious.

Lu Yunzhou didn't like watching it.

But the show did have very high ratings, breaking 2 on two channels!

Absolutely unbeatable.

-

Was "Eternal Love" a hit? While its ratings only surpassed 1 on two channels, "The First Half of My Life" almost doubled in popularity!

Of course, online streaming makes "Eternal Love" even more impressive.

That year, television and online broadcasting created a huge divide.

Overall, television stations are gradually declining, while the three major online platforms are gradually gaining control of the narrative.

After all, online platforms pay more.

As the production company, they would definitely prefer the kind of ancient romance dramas that the platform likes.

This trend will continue for many years to come.

From a consumer goods perspective, men are very proud, and products that can please women are unlikely to please men.

However, some products that please men may also please women across genders.

After watching "The First Half of My Life" for a while, Zhang Ruonan switched to "The Advisors Alliance" and watched it with great interest.

"Xiaonan, which of these two dramas do you think is better?"

Lu Yunzhou, with his arm around Zhang Ruonan, casually asked a question.

"If it were two years ago, I might have liked the drama 'The First Half of My Life' more. Because the female lead in that drama does nothing and is pampered by all the men in the world. It's the life that every woman dreams of."

"But right now—I think this show is so childish!"

"The biggest flaw is—the female lead's husband only earns 50 yuan a year, yet he can afford to let her go to luxury stores and choose shoes at will?"

"The screenwriter is so lacking in common sense!"

"Or did the screenwriter graft the practices of old-fashioned department stores from Europe 100 years ago onto the Chinese context?"

Two years ago, Zhang Ruonan was a high school student who hadn't seen much of the world and might have been fooled by this drama.

But at this moment, Zhang Ruonan is like the kind of rich housewife portrayed on TV; if she goes to any luxury store, the door will be closed immediately.

At that moment, all the staff in the store served only her.

of course.

Zhang Ruonan didn't really like this kind of atmosphere.

However, once she reached a certain level of wealth, she associated with wealthy women—people who lived this kind of lifestyle.

But in any case, you need at least 10 billion in assets to afford this kind of service.

With an annual salary of 50 yuan, how can one expect to receive this kind of service in a place like Shanghai?

Basically impossible.

Perhaps the manager of the luxury store earns more than the female lead's husband!

"In comparison, Uncle Xiubo in 'The Advisors Alliance,' with his eagle-eyed and wolf-like gaze, is exactly the Sima Yi I imagined!"

"Unfortunately, the ratings for this show seem to be just average."

Although "The Advisors Alliance" received very good reviews online, its viewership ratings were only so-so during its broadcast.

The show was sold to two television stations.

The highest viewership rating for Jiangsu Satellite TV was only 0.8%.

Anhui TV's rating is around 0.5%!

It looks like a flop.

Fortunately, the main battleground for TV dramas now is the online platform.

Youku Tudou was the buyer of this drama series, and made a lot of money from it in terms of attracting new members!

"Uncle Xiubo's acting is so good, it doesn't even seem like acting."

After watching the last episode, Zhang Ruonan closed her tablet and muttered to herself, "Can someone's acting be this good? It's so perfectly in line with the character's temperament. I always had a feeling he wasn't a good person."

"9

Haha!

Lu Yunzhou has no comment on Uncle Xiubo.

He gently hugged Zhang Ruonan: "Go to sleep early, we're going back to China tomorrow. Your TV series, 'I Want Us to Be Together,' is about to air. Are you nervous?"

Zhang Ruonan shook her head slightly: "I don't know how to describe this feeling. It's like a dream. I'm really worried that one day I'll suddenly wake up and this dream will shatter."

After saying that, Zhang Ruonan snuggled into Lu Yunzhou's arms like a kitten, muttering softly, "Brother, you're so cunning, abandoning the family business. Taking care of those businesses at home is much more tiring than acting. There are at least thousands of eyes watching me. I can't eat or sleep properly every day."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaonan."

Every time Lu Yunzhou said this, he meant it sincerely.

Because he knows how annoying those trivial matters are.

"Brother, but after thinking about it, I still have to help you. Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering. I can't bear to see that."

Zhang Ruonan looked up and grinned at Lu Yunzhou.

Someone has to suffer this hardship.

Otherwise, what would they leave to their son?

"Brother, I almost forgot to prepare a little surprise for you."

Zhang Ruonan suddenly realized that she couldn't just fall asleep like that.

Otherwise, when will I be able to give birth to my son?

So she got up and started rummaging through her suitcase.

As she rummaged through her suitcase, she gave Lu Yunzhou a sweet smile, then tiptoed into the bathroom to change.

A moment later, Zhang Ruonan was dressed in an Air France flight attendant uniform.

This uniform was designed by the famous designer Christian Lacroix for Air France.

With navy blue as the main color, paired with a red belt and scarf, it remains the iconic uniform of Air France flight attendants to this day!

It is exquisite and elegant, yet indescribably dazzling and luxurious.

Zhang Ruonan was dressed neatly, and even slightly adjusted the angle of her scarf. The light shone on her angelic face, as if a thin layer of rouge had appeared.

She was even more gentle and lovely than usual.

"Buy it!"

Lu Yunzhou pulled Zhang Ruonan into his arms, holding her wrist, which felt smooth as jade.

Zhang Ruonan gently withdrew her hand and said coquettishly, "Buy what? Thanks to my brother, I'm quite expensive now."

Lu Yunzhou laughed heartily, "I'm talking about the designer of this uniform. I want to buy his studio!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but smile slightly: "I heard the other day that his studio went bankrupt and is apparently collaborating with the Spanish STL Group on some kind of co-branded licensing deal. Since you like it, I'll have someone talk to him about it in a while."

"Xiao Nan, you're radiating a strong scent of money right now, it's so charming and adorable."

Lu Yunzhou held Zhang Ruonan in his arms and gave her a light kiss.

The two separated, and he looked down. He saw Zhang Ruonan wearing that flight attendant's fitted skirt, with a pair of high heels peeking out from under the skirt, their pointed tips making her even more attractive.

He couldn't help but pick Zhang Ruonan up in his arms.

Zhang Ruonan exclaimed in surprise, then punched his shoulder and said coquettishly, "Brother, be careful, don't hurt your back."

""

"I've been exercising recently. My health is much better than before."

With a 9-to-5 job, Lu Yunzhou had a very regular schedule and time to exercise, although he hadn't yet reached 8...

I don't have abs, but at least the results are good.

"Really?"

Zhang Ruonan touched Lu Yunzhou's abdomen and found it to be quite different from before.

She chuckled and glanced at Lu Yunzhou's clothes: "Wait a minute, I'll check your homework. Let's see if you've been behaving yourself lately."

Two beautiful young women live across the hall, and Zhang Ruonan is already prepared.

Men are like cats; they're bound to stray sometime.

Lu Yunzhou untied the hairband from Zhang Ruonan's head, revealing her dark hair scattered all over the pillow. He leaned down and kissed her.

After a short while, Zhang Ruonan's body went limp. She closed her eyes and just kept panting, her hands tightly gripping the blankets, but she had no strength left.

However, Lu Yunzhou suddenly stopped moving.

Zhang Ruonan frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"

Lu Yunzhou lowered his voice and said, "I just heard footsteps. Do you think it's possible that those two brats, Xiaotian and Cunzi, are eavesdropping at the door right now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruonan was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she reached out and hugged Lu Yunzhou's back, gently pulling him towards her.

She deliberately made a huge commotion, as if venting, as if showing off, as if openly declaring some kind of sovereignty.

However, anyone could tell that she was extremely happy.

Like a soaring lark.

"Hmm~~"

Outside.

After listening for only a short while, Tian Xiwei and Liu Haocun's cheeks turned as red as monkey bottoms, as if they were about to burn.

The two looked at each other, their eyes both glistening with tears.

Her body involuntarily twisted slightly.

Coming to his senses, Liu Haocun spoke first: "I didn't hear anything."

Tian Xiwei scoffed and said disdainfully, "I heard everything clearly. Tell me, is that how you enjoy it?"

Liu Haocun seemed to have been electrocuted, hurriedly lowering his head and muttering, "Why are you asking me these questions? I've never tried them."

The two exchanged a glance, their faces instantly turning red with embarrassment, and tiptoed back to their room.

That night, they both suffered from insomnia.

The next morning.

Zhang Ruonan felt refreshed and got up early to wash up.

Meanwhile, several assistants she brought also came to her home to help pack her luggage.

-

Lu Yunzhou stayed here for about two months, which was a short-term rental. Now that his work is finished, he is going back to China.

Some important documents and equipment had to be packed up and taken back.

The rustling sounds outside woke Lu Yunzhou up. He checked the time and realized it was already late. He stretched and got out of bed.

"Brother, did I wake you up?"

After Lu Yunzhou finished washing up and changing his clothes, he went out and saw Zhang Ruonan directing his assistant to carefully move things.

Watching her busy little figure, Lu Yunzhou's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he couldn't help but think: The eldest son's wife and the adopted concubine are really different experiences.

It gives me a greater sense of security and peace of mind.

Auntie, you still have to guard against her running off with someone after you fall from grace.

The legal wife is different; if she goes bankrupt, she'll definitely suffer along with her.

After all, Zhang Ruonan is the legal representative of all of Lu Yunzhou's businesses.

Even if he goes bankrupt, he still has time to run away with Auntie, and Zhang Ruonan, the legal representative, will have to stay behind to cover for him.

"You don't need to clean it all up."

"I packed the important things a couple of days ago. The rest are optional."

Lu Yunzhou stepped forward and put his arm around Zhang Ruonan's shoulder.

He asked, "Your TV series 'I Want Us to Be Together' is about to air in a couple of days. Do you want to continue being a big star?"

Zhang Ruonan smiled slightly: "If I become a big star, I can't promote products for my family, so the cost-effectiveness is too low."

Zhang Ruonan never thought about becoming a leading lady.

Before entering the entertainment industry, her dream was to become a billionaire.

Her sister is worth hundreds of billions, so she must be worth at least tens of billions!

And now, she has almost finished.

Because the businesses she manages are valued at over 10 billion.

"Brother, you're incredibly talented and perfectly suited for the entertainment industry. Don't worry, I won't believe those rumors online."

Zhang Ruonan told Lu Yunzhou not to overthink it.

He can create scandals at will.

She would never be jealous of Dilraba Dilmurat or Li Lin—because these people simply cannot steal her niche.

The family genealogy records her name as Zhang Ruonan!

Lu Yunzhou's parents only acknowledge Zhang Ruonan!

Of the thousands of employees in the company, only she, General Manager Zhang, is known!

Those women came and gave themselves away for free—their family wouldn't lose out anyway!

"What rumors? I'm so busy with work, I can't be bothered with them. Who knew they'd go so far? They even said Dilraba gave birth to my son, and I gave her 200 kilograms of gold as a gift for the birth of my son—later, you need to find me some good lawyers and sue all those marketing accounts!"

You have to listen to women in reverse.

Zhang Ruonan said she doesn't care about those rumors, which means she does care.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

Lu Yunzhou decisively recognized this danger signal and immediately stated that he had no relationship with Li Qin or Dilraba.

"Alright, then let's sue them to death!"

Zhang Ruonan smiled as she looked at Lu Yunzhou's angry expression.

Two hundred kilograms of gold were given to Wang Ran. Didn't she know? With so much gold being shipped out of the company warehouse, the people in the company must have reported it to her.

Poor Dilraba, she took the blame for Wang Ran and now she's being exploited by marketing accounts for her traffic.

Now, it has to be denied by Lu Yunzhou, the person in question!

That's horrible!

However, Zhang Ruonan doesn't feel sorry for Dilraba at all.

Who told Dilraba to rise to fame through this kind of hype? From now on, whenever something similar happens in the entertainment industry, everyone will ask her to take the blame!

Magic City.

Pudong International Airport.

After a long journey, Lu Yunzhou and his group finally returned to China.

Outside the VIP passage, in the standalone terminal building, Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan boarded the company-arranged van, traveling light.

As for Liu Haocun and Tian Xiwei, they got into another car.

"Yunzhou, how are you doing in Canada?"

Inside the car, only Ji Rujing was present.

Tang Yan went out to work.

At Lu Yunzhou's suggestion, Tang Yan invested a lot of money in the drama "Ashes of Love" and became one of its producers.

In addition, Chen Yuqi, the senior sister of Tang Yan Studio, was also cast in this drama as the second female lead.

Chen Yuqi gained some popularity thanks to her role as the second female lead in this drama.

of course.

The drama is currently being filmed, and apart from Lu Yunzhou, no one knows how popular it will become.

In response to Ji Rujing's teasing, Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Someone like me who lives a monotonous life between two points every day has no way of understanding life in Canada. Perhaps Xiaotian and Xiaocun have more to say about it."

Lu Yunzhou goes there to work.

Tian Xiwei and Liu Haocun went with him on vacation.

These two worked very hard during the filming process, and Lu Yunzhou really put in a lot of effort during their last summer vacation.

Although the two are still in university, they will enter the cutthroat world of entertainment after the movie is released.

The battles in the world of fame and fortune are fought silently.

You never know when, but suddenly things go wrong and you end up trending on social media.

Everyone is very anxious.

Wang Churan is a typical example. She became popular with a sweet drama, but was soon taught a harsh lesson by the variety show "The Birth of an Actor".

"Xiaomeng, are you unhappy to see me?"

Wang Ran also came with Ji Rujing to greet Lu Yunzhou.

But at this moment, Wang Ran had long lost her earlier liveliness and cuteness, leaving only a taciturn demeanor after being ruthlessly struck by reality.

"Brother~~"

Wang Churan looked up at Lu Yunzhou, her eyes instantly reddening, looking as if she was about to cry.

Lu Yunzhou knew what Wang Ran had been through recently, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms: "Cry if you want to. After you've cried, I'll give you some good news."

Wang Ran's first appearance on a variety show landed her on the trending topics list, where the topic remained for a long time.

However, she has always been strong and has never shown any weakness.

It wasn't until Lu Yunzhou returned that she found a backer and finally let down her guard, crying her heart out in Lu Yunzhou's arms.

She cried and said aggrievedly, "What good news could there be? I'm already the queen in 'Ant Empire'."

This generation of netizens is truly talented.

After the first episode of "The Birth of an Actor" aired, they photoshopped Wang Churan's face onto the ants from the BBC documentary "Ant Empire," making these "ants" race around in the anthill.

A large number of parodies and fan-made videos went viral on Bilibili.

Wang Ran was able to enjoy Cai Xukun's treatment ahead of time.

Now, the entire internet is being manipulated by malicious individuals to mock her for being a "connected" actress. They say that although she has no acting skills, she has connections to promote her—she debuted as the leading lady.

She's never even played the second female lead.

Now, the backlash has begun.

Her reputation plummeted overnight, and she's now firmly labeled as a "resource-backed" celebrity.

"The Ant Queen is also a queen—"

Lu Yunzhou joked, then said seriously, "Did Zhang Ziyi tell you how to act with that silent but preoccupied expression?"

Wang Ran nodded slightly: "Although my aunt scolded me on the show, she did teach me some tips later."

"That's fine then."

Lu Yunzhou had long anticipated Zhang Ziyi's harsh criticism of Wang Ran's acting skills.

A good actor is made through criticism, not praise.

The reality show "The Birth of an Actor" at least didn't just target Wang Ran for criticism; all the actors who appeared on the show were criticized.

Later, various young actors and actresses who appeared on the show were all severely criticized by Zhang Ziyi.

In fact, netizens have long forgotten who Wang Ran is.

Because, in every episode of this show, someone gets hung on a street lamp.

But the more this is the case, the more people rush to get on the show, hoping to be criticized by Zhang Ziyi and become famous.

Black and red are still red.

It's better than being unknown.

Wang Churan's parody video, "The Ant Queen," has garnered an exceptionally high number of views on Bilibili.

Now, Wang Churan even has her own nickname.

"They also call me Sister Congee."

Upon seeing Lu Yunzhou, Wang Ran didn't think she was bringing shame to the family. She boldly added a little more information.

This is what she saw on Douban.

Moreover, the nickname "Sister White Porridge" is extremely widespread.

Why?

Upon hearing this nickname, Lu Yunzhou was stunned.

What's going on?

Is fate really this difficult to deal with?

Why did Wang Ran still get this nickname?

Wang Churan looked up at Lu Yunzhou and said cautiously, "There are rumors online that Li Qin and Dilraba are just targets you set up to attract attention. I'm your girlfriend. They even said I wasted my time drinking your porridge."

That's it!

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou didn't feel much. He said to Wang Ran, "Remember how you feel right now. This sense of injustice, this feeling of helplessness, this anger of wanting to clear your name after being wronged—I believe you're the best choice for the lead role in 'The Queen of Tears'!"

"I?"

Even though she was called the Ant Queen and Sister White Porridge, Lu Yunzhou still chose her as the female lead?

This sense of trust and being the only one cherished filled Wang Ran with mixed feelings.

In that instant, she couldn't help but have a thought: she had no way to repay Lu Yunzhou in this life but to give him ten sons!

"Of course it's you."

Lu Yunzhou gently pinched Wang Cheran's cheek: "Could it be that you think I would choose Zhao Liying as the female lead?"

Li Lin? Yang Mi? Or Dilraba Dilmurat? Who are they? What do they have to do with me? Why should I cast them in my drama?

Wang glanced at Zhang Ruonan, who was silently standing beside her, and whispered, "Where's Sister Nan? — Doesn't she want to play the female lead?"

Zhang Ruonan turned her head and smiled: "I'm the female lead. Why would I need to act?"

That's a beautiful sentence!

It was a resounding statement.

At this moment, Ji Rujing, who was in the front row listening to the opera and watching the excitement, couldn't help but want to applaud Zhang Ruonan loudly.

The principal wife speaks with authority.

"That's true."

Wang Churan was speechless for a moment, but although Zhang Ruonan spoke sharply, she was still quite kind to her younger sister.

The biggest rival withdrew from the competition.

This is a huge boon for Wang Ran.

She asked cautiously again, "Cunzi, where's Xiaotian?"

Lu Yunzhou shook his head again: "Cunzi is too delicate and demure; she's not suitable to be a queen. Xiaotian's smile is too sweet; she's more like a girl next door, lacking the aura of a queen."

"I hope that the female lead in this drama walks with a fierce momentum, her big feet stomping on the floor tiles with a loud thud, so that all the employees who hear her footsteps will tremble involuntarily."

The large footsteps made a resounding sound as they stomped on the floor tiles.

Isn't this a role tailor-made for me?

After hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Wang Ran was filled with confidence and rushed over to kiss Lu Yunzhou on the cheek: "Brother, thank you."

Wang Ran thought that Lu Yunzhou would dislike her acting skills and replace her—she was anxious for a whole month.

But Lu Yunzhou didn't!

Lu Yunzhou chose to believe her!

At this moment, Wang Ran was truly moved and could not express his feelings in words!

"Don't thank me yet."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Wang Ran and said seriously, "When you have time, practice more with Zhang Ziyi. If you can learn even a third of that aloof and unapproachable demeanor, you'll be able to handle this drama."

Wang Churan nodded in deep agreement: "Auntie is really hard to approach. Just seeing her standing there makes me afraid to get close."

That's right!

Zhang Ziyi herself has an annoying quality in real life, which is the same as the female lead in "Queen of Tears".

Living under the same roof with a woman with such a bad temper and a world-weary face every day, Lu Yunzhou must want a divorce too!

It's absolutely disgusting.

In this respect, I really have to admire Teacher Wang!

Lu Yunzhou asked with some doubt, "I gave Zhang Ziyi a Borsalino co-branded with a master designer, didn't she smile at you?"

Wang hesitated, trying to find the right words, before saying, "She laughs, but it's just uncomfortable to watch. In short, I don't like her."

"It's okay if you don't like it."

Lu Yunzhou also disliked Zhang Ziyi's sour face, but Zhang Ziyi's state was very suitable for the character's arc reversal.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou gave Wang Ran a suggestion: "You should study Zhang Ziyi as your lifelong enemy—know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ziyi have fallen out.

Wang Churan roughly understood what kind of role Lu Yunzhou wanted her to play.

"Xiaomeng, in the drama 'Queen of Tears,' you are the main character. I'm just following your lead."

"Therefore, you must adjust your state to be the best."

Wang Ran's face isn't really suitable for making movies.

The main reason is that Wang Ran is tall, which makes her head appear larger as well—in real life, Wang Ran is a stunning beauty.

However, when filming movies, wide-angle lenses automatically enlarge faces and heads, making Wang Ran's flaws all the more apparent.

In particular, the difference is very obvious when she stands next to Liu Haocun.

Therefore, Wang Churan can only pursue a career in television dramas.

"The Queen of Tears" is the project that Lu Yunzhou can think of for the time being that best suits Wang Ran.

Wang Ran only needs to learn Zhang Ziyi's "annoying" temperament, and that will be enough.

Occasionally, Wang Ran only needs to subtly showcase her sweet and charming personality, which can suddenly bring the character to life.

Zhejiang TV.

"The King's Woman," starring Dilraba Dilmurat, also known as "The Legend of Li Ji," will premiere on August 14th in the weekly drama slot, airing Monday through Thursday at 10 PM.

The online copyright was sold to Youku Tudou.

Before the show aired, Dilraba was invited to Zhejiang TV for a promotional event and to conduct some interviews.

The interview had just ended when the executive agent assigned to Dilraba by Jaywalk Studio rushed in like a madman: "Dilraba, Lu Yunzhou is here too. Fix your hair and change to a heavier makeup."

"What? Who's here?"

Dilraba had just finished recording a program and was about to leave work to go back to her hotel for a good night's sleep. Her brain was in a state of euphoria, so she didn't hear clearly.

"Lu Yunzhou".

The executive agent briefly explained, "He brought his god-sister, Zhang Ruonan, to record the show. Their company has a youth drama series that might take over the time slot of our 'The King's Woman'."

Dilraba frowned slightly: "The drama that will take over our time slot won't be for at least two months, right? Why are you here recording a show so early?"

"Who knows?"

The executive agent shook his head: "Anyway, don't rush to remove your makeup. Make it as heavy as possible. Highlight your strengths. We may lose the game, but we won't lose face."

Dilraba's light makeup looks rather underwhelming; heavy makeup is her forte.

However, while heavy makeup may look good in photos, in reality it looks like applying oil paint to one's face, which not everyone can accept.

But for Dilraba, there was no other choice.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly—call the makeup artist over!"

After hesitating for two seconds, Reba decided to go all out, at least to avoid being completely defeated by Lu Yunzhou.

She had to act like a queen, silently walking past Lu Yunzhou without even glancing at him.

People online keep saying she's riding on Lu Yunzhou's coattails and then on Lu Han's.

So what?

Even after those two collapse—she might not collapse.

Years later, looking back, all that remains are piles of corpses—yet she still sits high above the heavens like a queen, looking down upon all living beings!

Lu Yunzhou, that guy, even has a fiancée, he's 100% guaranteed to have his marriage ruined.

We'll see when it comes out.

Dilraba is ready and waiting for the day when Lu Yunzhou's reputation collapses, so she can send him a sweet blessing.

"Yunzhou, I heard you're going to film a modern idol drama. Where are you planning to film it?"

"Florence?"

"Has the female lead been chosen? Zhao Liying or Li Lin? Neither?"

"I told you, what's going on online can't possibly be true. Zhao Liying doesn't have the aura of a queen. Li Qin is also too bland; she's only suitable for playing a wealthy heiress seeking revenge, not a queen who controls everything."

A director at Zhejiang TV had known Lu Yunzhou for many years.

Back when Lu Yunzhou was filming the short film "Dream," this director was also present when Paradise Umbrella was receiving the goods.

At that time, he extended an invitation to Lu Yunzhou, asking him if he was interested in becoming a director at Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Lu Yunzhou, of course, had no interest.

"Director Yao, please allocate more promotional resources to this drama of ours. Ruonan's performance is very nuanced and emotionally powerful. You've seen it for yourself, so you should know the potential of this drama."

Lu Yunzhou helped Zhang Ruonan frantically type GG.

"Yunzhou, if you were the male lead in this drama, it would be aired during prime time without a doubt. However, Ruonan and Qu Chuxiao are both newcomers with little to no fame."

"It can be placed in the [Starry Sky Theater] — Oops, I slap myself. I misspoke again, the theater has been renamed, it's now called China Blue Weekly Theater."

"The King's Woman, starring Dilraba Dilmurat, is a big IP, but it can only be shown in this theater. I really did my best, brother."

Director Yao's unspoken message was that he had already given Lu Yunzhou a lot of face.

Under normal circumstances, this drama should be similar to Wang Ran's "A Love So Beautiful," and be released online first.

Only if the broadcast is well-received will a TV station acquire it.

TV stations now only look at big IPs or whether there are popular celebrities promoting the shows; they simply won't give newcomers any chance.

Newcomers can only rely on the older generation to guide them.

Lu Yunzhou became popular because of Tang Yan's influence in promoting his products.

Director Yao believes that Lu Yunzhou can understand this.

"Yunzhou, how about this—'The Birth of an Actor,' this variety show is quite popular right now. How about I do you a favor and get Ruonan into this show?"

Director Yao felt he was very loyal.

However, when Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan heard this condition, strange expressions immediately appeared on their faces.

"Wang Ran, isn't she from your company? She's been trending on Weibo several times lately because of this variety show. Once it was for 'Ants racing for 10 years,' and last week she was trending again, everyone's calling her 'Sister White Porridge' — I checked today, and it seems she's trending again, this time because of a Bilibili fan-made video. Now, she's become the 'Queen Ant with Bigfoot'!"

Director Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with these black traffic sources.

Does Dilraba have any positive influence?

Not all of them are fans converted from these black traffic sources.

Over time, everyone will forget what these "black traffic" figures were, and will only remember that Dilraba became popular, and that Dilraba has a great reputation and is a traffic superstar.

What is the work?

"The King's Woman" — This is Dilraba Dilmurat's first time taking on a leading role in a period drama!

He collapsed instantly!

This shows that Dilraba is simply not suited for period dramas.

But no way.

Historical dramas are the hottest genre; not making them is tantamount to losing the biggest market!

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and endure being mocked for her hard-looking face and ugly appearance in period costumes—she could only blame the stylist.

"Director Yao, thank you for your kindness. But it's alright."

This time, Zhang Ruonan couldn't hold back any longer and politely declined the other party's offer. She then changed the subject, saying, "Our [Kou Rui] just launched the sub-brand [Kou Rui Yi Ren] this year, and I'm planning to invest in some projects on Zhejiang TV. Director Yao, could you recommend some reliable people?"

What?

[Kou Rui] Is this your decision?

Upon hearing this, Director Yao turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, his eyes filled with a question.

"Director Yao, it's just what you think."

Lu Yunzhou did not deny it, and introduced Zhang Ruonan's identity to the other party in a generous manner: "President Zhang, currently in charge of the company's operations."

Mr. Yao suddenly remembered a piece of online gossip: "Are you... Sister Octopus?"

"Doesn't it look like it?"

Zhang Ruonan gave a soft snort, turned her face to the side, revealing her pair of gold earrings.

This is LDC's newly released "Angel's Tears," which is not yet available on the market. Its design is unique and elegant.

Although Director Yao did not recognize the earrings, he could tell they were quite valuable.

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Zhang, this way please."

After confirming her identity again, President Yao immediately changed her expression, kept handing Zhang Ruonan her business card, and quietly changed how she addressed her.

He addressed Zhang as "General Manager Zhang" repeatedly.

If Zhang Ruonan were just a minor actress, Director Yao might be a little more polite to her out of respect for Lu Yunzhou, but that would be about it.

But if Zhang Ruonan is the current head of LB Group, then he's the big spender, the client who gives money to the TV station.

Then naturally, good tea should be served.

For a time, Director Yao served him with exceptional enthusiasm, going to great lengths to attend to him.

The elevator entrance on a certain floor.

Dilraba pretended to be waiting for the elevator, staring intently at the floor number as it came up one floor at a time.

At the same time, she kept asking the people around her, "How am I feeling?"

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Is there any smudge on your lipstick?"

"Have you covered up the pimples on your face?"

"Damn it—I told you not to apply my eyeshadow so thickly, it looks like I have dark circles."

Although Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou have never officially had any conflict, their fans have been constantly battling online, with Lu Yunzhou's fans hurling insults at Dilraba.

This made Dilraba feel resentful.

No matter the occasion, she had to act like an "ex-wife," be flawless, and outshine all the women around Lu Yunzhou.

Otherwise, people will say she's not good enough for Lu Yunzhou, and the whole thing will just be a mess.

She can't bear the shame.

What's more, she's already a top star—this summer, she's at least in the top five among all female celebrities!

"He's here!"

Just then, the elevator stopped on this floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and Director Yao, along with Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Ruonan, stepped out of the elevator.

Dilraba saw Lu Yunzhou immediately.

Their eyes met, and her gaze, which had been as cold and hard as a knife just moments before, suddenly softened in that instant.

At the same time, she quickly glanced at Zhang Ruonan next to Lu Yunzhou.

Seeing Zhang Ruonan's height, she has no figure, no temperament, no looks, and no sense of style.

She's nowhere near as good as Tang Yan.

She's not as good as him.

A slight smile flickered across Dilraba's lips, and she instantly became much more confident.

"Yunzhou, it's been a long time."

Dilraba turned her head, her gaze falling on Lu Yunzhou. She smiled slightly, lowered her head, and, mimicking Yang Mi's posture, shyly tossed her hair.

The gesture of flipping one's hair perfectly showcases a woman's gentleness.

If you flirt well, you can make a man's heart flutter.

Yang Mi taught her all of this.

"have not seen you for a long time."

At this moment, many people, both openly and secretly, were watching them. It was estimated that the entire television station knew that Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou were about to meet here.

Even the security cameras in the corridor quietly turned around at that moment.

Lu Yunzhou greeted her expressionlessly, then was quickly drawn to Dilraba's dark circles. He pointed to his own eye sockets and said kindly, "Take care and get some rest. Don't overwork yourself."

That’s it again!

Dilraba hates it when Lu Yunzhou tells her to rest. It seems like concern, but he's actually mocking her for aging too quickly.

"The same to you."

Suppressing her anger, Dilraba turned to look at Zhang Ruonan and chuckled, "Which sister is this now?"

Wang Churan, Tian Xiwei, Liu Haocun, Chen Yuqi, or who else?

Lu Yunzhou was just about to introduce who Zhang Ruonan was.

Zhang Ruonan stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Yunzhou. She was small and looked a little thin, but her aura was in no way inferior.

Zhang Ruonan also tossed her slightly curly hair, looked up at Dilraba, and gave her an angelic smile. She said calmly, "I'll be watching your show next month at Milan Fashion Week."

Suddenly, her voice turned cold: "I'd like to see—what kind of clothes that idiot, Stefano Gabbana, can design for you?"

Wow!

They've completely broken off relations!

The staff of Zhejiang TV felt like they had stumbled upon a major juicy story.

"Walk."

After leaving those words, Zhang Ruonan turned around and pulled the dumbfounded Director Yao: "Didn't you say you were inviting us for tea? What are you standing there for?"

2

"Oh, right, right."

Director Yao realized what was happening and led the guests forward.

What does it have to do with him if Zhang Ruonan and Dilraba have a few words to say to each other?

His biggest task right now is to take good care of Zhang Ruonan, his sugar daddy.

After Zhang Ruonan, Lu Yunzhou, and Director Yao left, the onlookers dispersed immediately and went back to frantically search for information.

"Who is Stefano Gabbana?"

"Found it—one of the designers and founders of D&G."

"That young girl was so arrogant. She directly called the founder of Dolce & Gabbana an idiot."

"Judging from her tone, the two sides are clearly enemies."

Normally, it would be impossible for a minor celebrity like Zhang Ruonan in the Chinese entertainment industry to have any grudge against one of the founders of a world-class luxury brand.

After all, how did ants and elephants become enemies?

Even elephants don't know who ants are?

Ants won't make a fool of themselves.

For two people to become enemies, their status must be at least roughly equal.

The staff of Jaywalk Media were dumbfounded.

They thought Zhang Ruonan was an easy target, after all, she looked like she was easy to bully.

Everyone wanted to pinch her cheek.

Who knew she would transform!

The statement, "Stepheno Gabbana is an idiot," left everyone speechless.

"Reba, something's not right."

The managing brokers always felt that they seemed to have missed some important information.

"Who is she? What gives her the right?"

Dilraba had no idea who Zhang Ruonan was; she had only vaguely heard that Lu Yunzhou had a god-sister with whom he had a very close relationship.

However, does having a god-sister mean you can be this arrogant?

Dilraba felt increasingly uneasy.

"It's her!"

Suddenly, in that instant, a lot of information flashed through Dilraba's mind.

Piecing together these scattered pieces of information, she arrived at her final answer: "Sister Octopus! She's the rumored sugar daddy behind Lu Yunzhou, Sister Octopus!"

After arriving at this answer, Dilraba couldn't help but scoff, a hint of mockery on her face: "Tch~~ With legs that short, how dare she call herself long-legged?"

The executive agent quietly added, "But she looks so young. Like she's 18."

Zhang Ruonan's face is full of collagen, and as long as this collagen is not lost, she will always look 18 years old.

In addition, she had lively eyes like Bambi.

Everyone who sees her is filled with affection and wishes they could have such a lovely daughter.

Of course, this does not include Dilraba.

"She looks 18, so how old do I look?"

Dilraba turned to stare at her executive agent, gritted her teeth and shouted, "Say it out loud, I don't blame you!"

""

The executive agent used his highest emotional intelligence: "Baby, with how cute you are, you're only an 8 in my heart."

age."

At this point, Dilraba became even angrier: "You mean, she's genuinely cute, and I'm just pretending to be cute? And I'm pretending to be an idiot?"

You know it in your heart, why say it out loud?

It made everyone feel awkward.

Although the executive agent thought so in his heart, he hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not. You look so adorable, like an 8-year-old child, that I want to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Eight-year-olds are the most annoying.

Who would want to take care of an 8-year-old child for the rest of their life?

[Northwest Wolf, Northeast Tiger, Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex, Rise of China]

This group suddenly changed its name today.

Because a new friend has appeared: Zhang Jingyi, the "Corpse King of Western Hunan".

Cai Xukun added Zhang Jingyi to the group chat and called everyone out: "Let me introduce you to a new friend. She's a very nice person, and she even treated me to dinner."

Tian Xiwei typed a question mark: "What kind of person has so much money they don't know what to do with it, that they'd treat you to a meal?"

Cai Xukun laughed and said, "Say it again, and I'll take a screenshot and show it to Big Brother. Have you forgotten that Big Brother personally cooked for us last time?"

"I was wrong."

Tian Xiwei promptly backed down: "Brother Chicken, the internal screening of the movie 'The Abyss' is in a couple of days. What do you think I should wear?"

Cai Xukun came up with a terrible idea: "It would be best if you didn't wear any clothes. That way, you'll be on the front page. At least it'll save your brother 2000 million in advertising costs."

Tian Xiwei gave Cai Xukun the middle finger in the group chat and then ignored him.

Cai Xukun circled Zhang Jingyi: "Come on over in a couple of days, I'll introduce you to my older brother. He likes quiet girls like you."

Nazha: "Am I not quiet enough?"

Liu Haocun: "I'm the quietest."

Tian Xiwei: "I am mute."

Cai Xukun laughed and said, "Little zombies, I told you they were easy to get along with. Especially our Nazha, even though she's a big star, she's not at all pretentious in private."

"Of course! My name is Nazha, beautiful inside and out, and everyone knows her!"

Naza laughed smugly for a while, then asked, "By the way, why is she called Zombie? Why am I called Northwest Wolf? I object! I want to change my nickname! I want to be [Northwest Phoenix]!"

Cai Xukun immediately objected: "The phoenix is ​​a symbol of the empress. This is inappropriate."

"Little zombie, I'm sorry, but you'll have to be a five-step snake for now."

So, with a flick of Cai Xukun's wrist, Zhang Jingyi's unique nickname changed from "Zombie King of Western Hunan" to "Five-Step Snake of Western Hunan".

Zhang Jingyi showed no reaction to this.

She didn't know what Cai Xukun was up to, but she felt out of place with the group, as if they were all a little mentally unstable.

After a while, Zhang Jingyi asked cautiously, "Brother Kun, are you really taking me to an internal screening? When is it? I might be going to the Beijing Film Academy to report for duty in a couple of days."

"Beijing Film Academy?"

Upon hearing the school's name, Tian Xiwei immediately yelled, "What are you doing, you noob? Find me a rival! Kick them out!"

Liu Haocun, standing to the side, excitedly said, "I'm from the Beijing Dance Academy. Let's hang out together then. Don't pay any attention to those guys."

Naza immediately chimed in, "I'm also from Beijing Film Academy. Call me sister-in-law! I'll protect you. Beijing Film Academy is the best!"

Zhang Jingyi had no idea what Nazha was going on about.

Calling her "senior sister" is fine. But why "sister-in-law"?

"Stop, stop, stop!"

These women are absolutely insane! Cai Xukun is at his wits' end: "Our Five-Step Snake is so quiet, as quiet as a little princess."

"Princess Snake, come directly to Shanghai next Friday, and I'll give you an insider ticket. After the movie, I'll introduce you to my older brother. He likes girls with sharp features and a stubborn streak like you."

These women are all too noisy. If anyone becomes my sister-in-law, the house will definitely be a complete mess.

If I had to choose a sister-in-law, the quiet one would be the best.

Zhang Ruonan remained quiet.

Wang Ran is usually quite quiet.

"Thank you. See you then."

After saying that, Zhang Jingyi muted the group.

"What will 'The Abyss' be like?" Zhang Jingyi asked at home, turning on her computer and checking the official movie promotional account.

A new promotional poster has been updated.

On the poster.

The massive Vaian Dam is situated with a deep lake in front and a 200-meter-high abyss behind it.

Lu Yunzhou, dressed in a black trench coat, stood on the dam, looking as tiny as an ant.

The wind blew his black hair and his trench coat.

Liu Haocun stood on the dam, several dozen meters away.

Her long hair was blown by the wind.

Amidst the swirling snow, Liu Haocun raised her hand, and black flames, centered on her body, transformed into a black dragon that filled most of the blank space on the poster. The fiery black dragon looked down at Lu Yunzhou with fury!

"Is it an enemy?"

"Or will they become enemies?"

"Aren't these two the male and female leads?"

Zhang Jingyi was somewhat puzzled, but she also became curious about the movie.

When Liu Haocun reached out to summon the Flame Black Dragon, he did not use the magic array pattern in the traditional Western sense, but rather the cloud and thunder pattern on bronze artifacts.

This felt very new to her.

Regardless, after all this publicity, she had to go and see it!
