Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 120 A calculated move! A systematic short-selling attack on Jiaxing! Xiaotian's lipstick! Sister Zhao from Changshan invests!

Just then, the grand prize was announced.

Yi Yangqianxi won the Most Popular Male Idol of the Year award, and Dilraba Dilmurat won the Most Popular Female Idol of the Year award.

The lights suddenly shone down and fell on Dilraba.

The stage lights seemed to be deliberately positioned about 50 centimeters in Lu Yunzhou's direction, allowing the audience to see that Lu Yunzhou was sitting next to Dilraba.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou smiled broadly and clapped gently for Dilraba with genuine joy.

After a moment of stunned silence, many people smiled and applauded Dilraba enthusiastically.

Many of them look like they're stirring up trouble.

In the very next second—

Seeing the enthusiastic applause from the audience, Lu Yunzhou suddenly stopped smiling and leaned slightly closer to Tian Xiwei.

At that moment, the online comments section went wild!

"Depend on!"

"The organizers have malicious intentions. Why did they make Zhouzhou sit with that old woman, Dilraba?"

"Did Jaywalk Studio bribe the organizers to arrange for Zhou Zhou and Dilraba to sit together, so that Dilraba could continue to generate rumors?"

"That's disgusting!"

"Rejecting being tied to others—We, Zhouzhou, are beautiful on our own!"

"Isn't Xiaotian next to Zhouzhou?"

"Xiaotian, you spend all your time doing squats at the gym, why don't you just rush up and punch Dilireba right now? Make sure she never laughs again!"

Dilraba had no idea that because Lu Yunzhou had just leaned slightly towards Tian Xiwei, she had already been cursed by hundreds of thousands of people online.

At that moment, she clutched her chest with great joy as she went up to accept the award, looking extremely honored.

Meanwhile, Yi Yangqianxi, who won the Most Popular Male Idol of the Year award, kept looking in Lu Yunzhou's direction—this is it, we're doomed.

Lighting technicians are a killer!

Lu Yunzhou's popularity is at least 10 times that of him.

Lu Yunzhou's failure to win the Popular Male Idol award has put him in a difficult situation—will he be cyberbullied online?

Although Lu Yunzhou himself probably doesn't care.

However, his royal guards were unreasonable.

"Fortunately, I don't have any conflicts with Brother Zhou. I'll take a picture with him later and just say I'm his fan."

Faced with this situation, Yi Yangqianxi still has his own little tricks.

However, during the award ceremony, Yi Yangqianxi deliberately stood far to the side, as if there was a mountain between her and Dilraba.

Who would dare approach Dilraba?

At this moment, Yi Yangqianxi had only one thought in his mind: If we get too close, will she try to create a CP (couple pairing) between us? My female fan base is over 90%! That's even higher than Lu Yunzhou's!

After the awards ceremony.

Tian Xiwei saw on her phone that Hu Lianxin had sent her more than a dozen messages.

-

She took a moment to open it and saw that it was full of questions about why she hadn't "killed" Dilraba with one punch earlier, and that it had also caused Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou to have another scandal.

"What the hell?"

Tian Xiwei was full of question marks. She scrolled through the group chat and saw that when Dilraba won the award, Lu Yunzhou was clapping at first, but then he noticed something and his expression changed slightly. He then politely moved to the right a little.

Netizens are going crazy right now.

One opinion is that Dilraba won the award, but the lighting technician deliberately focused the spotlight on Lu Yunzhou. Lu Yunzhou didn't want to steal Dilraba's thunder, so he leaned towards Tian Xiwei, appearing very gentle and considerate.

"Damn it! 'Considerate' my foot!"

"This is definitely Dilraba's fans exaggerating!"

"Does Dilraba Dilmurat even deserve it?"

"Who cares about a popularity award presented at a fashion gala, except for Dilraba's own fans?"

"The older brother clearly doesn't want Dilraba to continue being associated with him for marketing purposes."

As a female celebrity, and as a fan who watched Lu Yunzhou being constantly associated with and exploited by Dilraba Dilmurat, Tian Xiwei understood Lu Yunzhou's feelings very well.

As a celebrity, Lu Yunzhou is like a luxury item.

Any item displayed alongside luxury goods will bask in this glory, causing its value to skyrocket.

Dilraba is just an ordinary product, but by riding on the coattails of a trending topic, she has finally made it onto the market.

However, her popularity is very superficial; she doesn't have any truly outstanding works.

As for how beautiful the red carpet photos are?

The heavily edited photos that netizens see are one thing, but Tian Xiwei often meets with Dilraba Dilmurat, so doesn't she know how good-looking Tian Xiwei really is?

If Gulnazar's looks are rated 95, Dilraba's would be at most 75.

If Tian Xiwei's skin condition is a 90 out of 100, Dilraba's skin condition is at most a 60 out of 100! It's even worse than many ordinary 25-year-old women.

Large pores, wrinkles, skin separated from bone and flesh.

This is a side effect of dieting too drastically.

Some of these are side effects that occur after receiving cosmetic injections.

Dilraba is only 25 years old!

Lu Yunzhou was constantly being tormented by Wang Ran, and when they sat together, he looked like he was 10 years younger than Dilraba.

"Dude, you're trending again."

After reading all of Dilraba's comments, Tian Xiwei found that most of them criticized Dilraba for trying to ride on Lu Yunzhou's popularity, and many fans also accused Jaywalk Studio of spending money behind the scenes.

She felt a little helpless and told Lu Yunzhou about it.

"I knew this would happen."

When the lighting technician shone the light, Lu Yunzhou had anticipated this. The reason he dodged was to get Dilraba trending on social media.

If Lu Yunzhou hadn't dodged—

In a couple of days, given Dilraba's habits, she'll probably start saying she's Lu Yunzhou's white moonlight again.

After all, when Dilraba won the award, Lu Yunzhou seemed happier than anyone else, with a particularly genuine smile on his face.

Now that he has avoided Dilraba's "white moonlight skill" early on, it makes it difficult for Dilraba to ride on his coattails.

Whenever she mentions it, netizens laugh at her—Lu Yunzhou avoids her faster than lightning!

However, Dilraba probably wouldn't care; she'll still bring it up.

They're already in the entertainment industry, what's the point of having any shame?

"Let's go, no need to worry about such trivial things. Let's go to the dinner party. I wonder if there'll be anything good to eat?"

Lu Yunzhou has been hungry all the time lately.

Otherwise, at such a fashionable dinner party, he would at most drink a little red wine and wouldn't eat a single thing, lest someone take pictures of him feasting.

"Big brother, are you still planning to poach Dilraba's boyfriend?"

Tian Xiwei could imagine that if Dilraba jumped ship from Jaywalk Studio, the first thing she would probably do would be to drag Lu Yunzhou into creating scandals every day.

Once Dilraba truly becomes the "big sister-in-law," she will kick Lu Yunzhou aside and monopolize all the fans for herself.

Then, true to Dilraba's nature, she would probably add that she's just an ordinary working person and there's nothing she can do about what the company wants to do.

-

Finally, let me say this again—she was a victim too!

This evoked immense sympathy for her across the internet.

No matter what happens, Dilraba always relies on these three tricks.

Especially this last trick: no matter the situation, you have to portray yourself as a victim—a weak, innocent, and pure little white rabbit.

Tian Xiwei thought this woman was disgusting.

Playing the victim every day.

It made the whole world want to harm her.

Lu Han was ruined by Dilraba, and he didn't even say he was innocent—Does Dilraba even deserve to be called innocent?

"Poaching someone from another company is one thing, but whether she switches jobs or not is another."

Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly, then found a corner, opened his phone, and showed it to Tian Xiwei.

The next second, Tian Xiwei's eyes widened in surprise.

This is a screenshot of a conversation between Tang Yan and Yang Mi.

Tang Yan: "Honey, what have you been up to lately? Why are you back to filming idol dramas? Didn't you say you were going to make it to the big screen?"

"Didn't we agree to meet at the summit?"

Yang Mi: "I'm afraid I'll crush you on the big screen. Besides, if there's money to be made, why wouldn't I? What's wrong with me filming period dramas? I earn just as much as you do in movies."

Tang Yan: "Clapping GIF, but I heard that Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao owed 100 million yuan behind your back, and the other party has already sued your company."

Yang Mi: "Where did you hear this rumor? How come I didn't know the company owed 100 million?"

Tang Yan: "Evidence JPG. Still trying to deny it? I've met Dilraba and her agent; they're planning to switch companies together. Do you want to come with me? If you do, I'll put in a good word for you with Yunzhou and get him to take you to film an art film, go to Berlin or Venice, and win a major award."

Yang Mi: "Where did you get this picture? And how could Dilraba leave me? Do you have any evidence?"

Tang Yan: "Guess."

The conversation has ended.

However, Tian Xiwei could tell that Yang Mi most likely had doubts about Dilraba and her agent.

Tian Xiwei turned to look at Lu Yunzhou: "Big brother, Sister Tangtang's scheme to sow discord is too obvious. They won't believe it, will they?"

Lu Yunzhou gently patted Tian Xiwei's shoulder and said with a smile, "Whether you believe it or not is not important. What's important is that it has already happened."

As he spoke, Lu Yunzhou clicked on the online video of tonight's Fashion Awards.

In the video, before Dilraba won the award, he was whispering to her with a smile on his face.

In addition, an online lip-reading expert discovered one of Lu Yunzhou's mouth shapes.

Lu Yunzhou's lip movements, when interpreted, meant: "Are you free next month? Come with me to Qatar. I have a new project that might suit you."

Dilraba did not answer.

However, just the shape of her lips in that one sentence was enough to keep Yang Mi awake tonight.

Because, judging others by her own standards, Yang Mi thought that if it were her, she might have betrayed the company and run away with Lu Yunzhou.

Can the company provide her with access to such world-class commercial blockbusters?

Impossible.

But Lu Yunzhou is truly able to provide such resources.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei could sense that Dilraba must be feeling very conflicted.

However, she was even more conflicted.

Tian Xiwei turned to Lu Yunzhou and asked, "Brother, if Dilraba really does leave Jaywalk Studio, are you really going to take her to film '..."

Is it Fairy Castle 2?

Lu Yunzhou gently shook his head: "First of all, there is absolutely no way Dilraba would switch companies."

Tian Xiwei looked completely puzzled: "Why? If it were me, I would definitely switch jobs without hesitation. I wouldn't stay at Jiaxing Media for even a second longer."

That's you.

Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly: "Because you understand me, and we have a strong emotional foundation. I would never play games with you. You also know I wouldn't. So you trust me."

"However, Dilraba doesn't understand me. No, she actually understands me quite well. As an enemy, she can sense my sinister intentions, my cunning and treachery."

-

Haha.

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but grin, revealing her bright dimple in the lower right corner.

She gently patted Lu Yunzhou's chest: "Brother, I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that. It should be described as intelligent and resourceful, not treacherous and cunning. You're using the wrong words."

"That's basically the gist of it."

Lu Yunzhou pulled Tian Xiwei away from the venue and headed to the banquet hall.

The two places are not far apart.

On the way, Lu Yunzhou explained to Tian Xiwei, "We can find out by making a simple game theory model."

"If you were Dilraba Dilmurat, and you switched jobs to join our company, you would encounter the following situations."

"First, you'll wonder if I'll keep my promise and really take you to Qatar, and really provide you with the project?"

At this point, Lu Yunzhou shook his head slightly, a sneer appearing on his face.

"In Dilraba's mind, I probably wouldn't really keep my promise. I just wanted to play a trick on her."

"If this situation really happens, what should she do? She has no way to deal with it because our company doesn't need her."

19

"She is of little value to me."

"There are far too many people in our company who can replace her. If all else fails, I can always find someone like Gulnazar, who I have a better relationship with."

"They are direct competitors for an ecological niche."

If you asked Lu Yunzhou to choose between Gulnazar and Dilraba, he would definitely choose Gulnazar.

Naza is so well-behaved.

Furthermore, Nazha helped Lu Yunzhou walk the runway, earning him a considerable amount of money. She also collaborated with Lu Yunzhou on the film "Crazy Racing".

Naza is also Zhang Ruonan's best friend.

From any perspective, Lu Yunzhou would support Gulnazar, not Dilraba.

"Therefore, there is absolutely no way she can leave Jaywalk Studio, even though Jaywalk Studio is already very wary of her."

At that moment, Tian Xiwei seemed to understand something.

"But, big brother—the message that Sister Tangtang just sent to Yang Mi will make Yang Mi very suspicious of Dilraba. Dilraba's treatment within Jaywalk Studio will also drop significantly."

"Both sides have developed resentment towards each other. I'm afraid they'll never be able to work together as a team again."

After speaking, Tian Xiwei suddenly turned to look at Lu Yunzhou and instantly realized what was going on.

It turned out to be the case.

This is clearly a calculated, open scheme.

This move caught Dilraba completely off guard.

Whether Dilraba Dilmurat leaves Jaywalk Studio or not, her status at Jaywalk Studio will likely change from that of a beloved darling to a disloyal traitor.

If Yang Mi is Cao Cao, who is all sweet talk and treacherous in the heart, then Dilraba is Sima Yi of Jaywalk Studio.

Everyone knew she would defect and rebel, but because of the company's current situation, they still needed Dilraba, so they could only pretend not to know.

"That's called internal friction."

"In a harsh environment, most of an organism's energy reserves are not for outward expansion, but for defense against a knife from behind."

"Trust is the prerequisite for all cooperation."

Lu Yunzhou turned around and took Tian Xiwei's hand: "Xiao Tian, ​​do you believe me?"

"certainly."

Tian Xiwei nodded without hesitation.

Then she added, "We'll drink from the golden cup together, but my blade will show no mercy. My brother and I only share the golden cup; my blade will only be pointed outwards."

"Oda, I believe in you too."

Lu Yunzhou gently patted Tian Xiwei's hand: "This is why our company is thriving and has a limitless future, while Jiaxing Media is already at its end."

"Because we trust each other like siblings. They, on the other hand, are left with only endless infighting, suspicion, and distrust."

"Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore."

"It's just a minor scabies, nothing to mention."

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to meet with executives from those brands and help you get some endorsements."

Brand dinners are Lu Yunzhou's absolute domain.

All the celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry combined are not as familiar to him as he is with these brand executives.

Because these people are all his opponents.

While Lu Yunzhou was studying these brands, the executives of these brands were also studying the various products and marketing strategies of the LB Group.

"Lu, 'The Fairy Castle' is fantastic. Your portrayal of Master Li is incredibly handsome."

"Especially the final sealing formation of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One, the moment you fell into the abyss—you used the colors and imagery of Levitan's 'The Abyss,' that poetic and emotional use of scenery to express feelings, right?"

Sephora's senior executives in China showered Lu Yunzhou with praise after meeting him.

Sephora is a cosmetics brand belonging to the LVMH Group and has no competitive relationship with the LB Group owned by the Lu Yunzhou family.

Therefore, Sephora's senior executives in China were the first to come over and greet Lu Yunzhou.

They hoped that Lu Yunzhou would create a marketing plan for them.

Lu Yunzhou's film is less of a visual blockbuster and more of a terrible comedy.

As a fantasy visual blockbuster, this film is estimated to gross around 10 billion US dollars.

But as a GG film, the cultural impact of the products featured in this movie will last for at least 10 years.

Within the LVMH Group, some estimates were made for Lu Yunzhou.

After the movie ended, Cora's brand valuation went from being worthless a year ago to around 10 billion US dollars.

LDC's affordable luxury image has been firmly established.

Many young people who originally chose to buy Swarovski have now formed an idea in their minds—instead of spending money on Swarovski glass beads, they might as well buy LDC gold jewelry.

At least the gold is real.

Who can tell whether glass beads are real or fake?

Aside from die-hard Swarovski fans, LDC is now the first affordable luxury jewelry brand many young people choose!

Moritzburg in winter.

A lone white swan accidentally wandered into this fairytale world.

This is the story plot of "Fairy Castle".

That lone white swan was Liu Haocun.

The single tear that Liu Hao sheds for Lu Yunzhou at the end is the symbolism of the LDC brand—a pure swan's tear!

There are countless explanations and analyses of this movie online.

The jewelry from the brand 【Swan Tears】 is perfect for young couples to express their love, serving as a respectable first gift of their youth.

In short, thanks to this movie, LDC has firmly established its brand, and its popularity among young people has even surpassed that of Swarovski.

If Lu Yunzhou makes a few more similar films, LDC's global brand awareness and sales will likely surpass Swarovski's within 10 years.

This is a market worth nearly $20 billion.

As for the Borsalino hat—this top-tier luxury hat doesn't need any promotion anymore, because every time a new style is released, it sells out instantly.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunzhou had no intention of ramping up production.

After all, Lu Yunzhou didn't create this hat brand to make money—he created it to enhance the "luxury" image of the entire group.

Limited editions and limited styles, even better!

Old money people care about this kind of style the most.

"Lu, is this your new girlfriend? The Miss Rose from the movie?"

Tian Xiwei is a newcomer to the fashion industry.

Because she had only recently debuted with "Fairy Castle".

However, the image of Tian Xiwei with a beautiful rose tucked in her hair in the movie became very popular.

This was a styling and makeup specially designed by Lu Yunzhou based on Tian Xiwei's appearance and temperament, which made her memorable to many viewers despite only having a few scenes and a not particularly outstanding character.

"Her name is Tian Xiwei. In three years at most, she will become a top-tier celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry."

Lu Yunzhou introduced Tian Xiwei to everyone with great enthusiasm.

"Top influencer?"

Someone chuckled softly and turned to look at Dilraba: "Dilraba, that kind of top star?"

"Is she considered a top star?"

Lu Yunzhou chuckled and slowly shook his head: "In my mind, as a popular celebrity, having topics, fans, and buzz is enough. But to become a top star, you need at least one breakout work, one super hit."

"At least, Dilraba doesn't count yet."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile jokingly.

Netizens have all heard that Dilraba Dilmurat is constantly trying to create a CP (couple pairing) with Lu Yunzhou, saying that she is Lu Yunzhou's unrequited love.

But those insiders could sense Lu Yunzhou's deep-seated displeasure with Dilraba in every conversation.

Now, Lu Yunzhou has revealed his standards for being a top star.

You need to have a hit product.

So far, Dilraba Dilmurat doesn't have any blockbuster works.

"Eternal Love" was certainly a hit, but it was a hit for Yang Mi. What does it have to do with Dilraba Dilmurat?

Just like the movie "The Fairy Castle of Dresden", Liu Haocun is undoubtedly the leading actress, but who would say that this is a work that belongs to Liu Haocun?

"Yunzhou, I heard that your next project is an idol drama called 'Queen of Tears,' intended to promote Wang Churan, the niece of President Qiao from the Fosun Group?"

Some people had heard some rumors and couldn't help but ask questions.

"You're really well-informed."

Lu Yunzhou did not deny it, stating frankly, "I plan to have this work compete for next year's Golden Eagle Award."

.

"Sister Tangtang has won the Golden Eagle Goddess award."

"Zhao Liying also received it."

"Liu Shishi also received it."

"I want to try and see if I can create a Golden Eagle Goddess?"

If the drama "Queen of Tears" is successfully filmed, Wang Ran should have no problem winning the Golden Eagle Goddess award under fair and just circumstances.

But at this moment, many people laughed in a cryptic manner.

They gently patted Lu Yunzhou on the shoulder: "Yunzhou, it's good that you're ambitious, but the competition for domestic awards is more complex than you think. Instead of vying for the Golden Eagle Goddess award, why not consider aiming for the Huading Award?"

Wang Ran would definitely win Best Actress or Most Popular Actress at the Huading Awards.

The Golden Eagle Award is hard to say.

Because Lu Yunzhou doesn't associate with the Mango Entertainment circle.

"I was just joking."

Seeing everyone trying to persuade him, Lu Yunzhou stopped pretending: "I just got the project approved for this show a while ago, and Netflix people have already flown to Shanghai to talk to us about the copyright. If all goes well, this show will be broadcast simultaneously in 190 countries."

"The Fairy Castle of Dresden" swept across the world, becoming the top-grossing film in many countries in October.

Lu Yunzhou has become a globally renowned director of commercial films.

He has his own cinematic language, narrative logic, and aesthetic framework—possessing so many unique aesthetics, he is undoubtedly a film artist.

Netflix is ​​overjoyed that such a film artist is preparing to make an idol drama.

The movie is excellent, and the film market is very profitable.

But for Netflix, TV series are the foundation of their business!

No matter how well Lu Yunzhou makes his movies, they won't have much to do with Netflix—because in this era, Warner Bros. is exceptionally powerful in the film market.

Lu Yunzhou is deeply associated with Warner Bros.

His films will definitely follow Warner Bros.' distribution and marketing system.

However, Warner's streaming service is relatively weak and cannot support the global broadcast of Lu Yunzhou's TV series.

Everyone knows that for Lu Yunzhou, making movies and TV series is just a hobby.

His real purpose was to promote his own products through film and television dramas.

Therefore, the dissemination platform is the most important.

In terms of TV series, Netflix has a much stronger advantage than Warner!

Once we can secure Lu Yunzhou's TV series and establish a foundation for cooperation, Netflix can also collaborate with Lu Yunzhou if he wants to continue making blockbuster movies.

Netflix was originally planning to purchase TV series as well.

Being able to collaborate with a renowned film director with a unique style on a TV series copyright project, build a relationship, and spend a little extra money is definitely worthwhile.

Besides, Lu Yunzhou wasn't particularly concerned about the so-called copyright fees.

What he wants is efficient dissemination!

Netflix is ​​the only streaming platform in this era capable of distributing TV series globally.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

"Yunzhou, as expected of you! You're truly amazing!"

"A big-name commercial film director making an idol drama—this is a case of 'lowering the standard,' it's bullying!"

"Tell us honestly, is Wang Ran your girlfriend? I can't think of any other reason why you'd be so protective of her. President Qiao doesn't have that kind of influence."

Upon learning that Lu Yunzhou's TV series had not yet been filmed but had only just been approved, Netflix came to discuss copyright matters, and a host of brands were impressed by Lu Yunzhou's influence.

This is the true power of top directors and top stars to drive sales!

Even just mentioning the name is enough to convince people that this show won't be too bad.

This is what you call top-tier traffic!

Relatively speaking, Dilraba is not considered a top-tier celebrity.

Yang Mi is undoubtedly one of the top traffic stars in China—as long as she's in a drama, people are still willing to watch it.

Eyes.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi's face has looked a bit distorted after plastic surgery. When I see Yang Mi in TV dramas, I always feel that she is not as beautiful as I used to see her.

"Wait a minute!"

"Yunzhou, what's the name of this girl next to you again? Tian Xiwei! She has a sweet smile and refreshing, captivating eyes. Why does she remind me a bit of Yang Mi from before?"

"She's clever and cute, and also has a very youthful vibe."

Although Tian Xiwei and Yang Mi don't look alike at all, they do share some similarities in their temperament.

Sweet and lovely, fresh and lively, with a youthful charm.

A youthful appearance is very rare.

Especially for idol dramas, some actors look like middle-aged women, so how can they play young girls?

The target audience for most idol dramas is teenage girls.

Zheng Shuang has the most youthful charm. Therefore, she has a lot of popularity and her works are top-notch, but unfortunately, she ruined her own career.

Naza is very pretty, but she lacks a youthful charm. She has a shrewd look on her face, like a vixen. She can't be a leading lady.

Dilraba Dilmurat lacks a youthful charm, instead exuding a matronly aura. Therefore, she's difficult to empathize with. Even when she stars in various idol dramas, the ratings are never particularly good.

Tian Xiwei and Liu Haocun are the chosen girls.

One is sweet and lovely, the other is fresh and natural.

"You have good taste!"

"Xiaotian is exactly what my ideal woman should be like. I was captivated by her smile the first time I saw her."

"Moreover, she is very loyal and a really good person. I remember the last time I was surrounded by some fans, Xiaotian was the first to rush over and pull me away, even faster than a bodyguard."

Lu Yunzhou praised the brand executives who noticed the similarities between Tian Xiwei and Yang Mi in their temperament.

Then, he made a joke about himself.

Everyone says Dilraba is his ideal woman, but he has never admitted it. Now, he's placing that reputation on Tian Xiwei.

As a renowned commercial film director, how bad could his ideal woman be?

In this last sentence, he dispelled the concerns of the CEOs that Tian Xiwei would cause trouble—as a loyal girl, what bad things could she do?

For capital, making stable profits is the best option.

They didn't want any surprises!

Of course, it would be even better if Tian Xiwei unexpectedly became a sensation.

"Tian Xiwei? I'll remember that. I'll talk to your agent about it later."

Tian Xiwei has gained some popularity with "Fairy Castle", but as a supporting actress, her character is not particularly well-liked.

Under normal circumstances, some brands might be willing to give it a try.

However, Lu Yunzhou brought Tian Xiwei to the brand's dinner party in a proper manner, and kept praising how wonderful Tian Xiwei was, even giving her the title of "white moonlight".

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tian Xiwei is definitely the person Lu Yunzhou plans to heavily promote next.

Given this, they were willing to take a gamble and buy shares in Tian Xiwei, offering her an endorsement contract in advance.

If you sign now, it might only cost 200 million a year.

If Tian Xiwei becomes a huge star, like Liu Haocun, she could earn at least 800 million, or even 1000 million a year!

Moreover, it doesn't even require Tian Xiwei to be very famous.

As long as Lu Yunzhou includes Tian Xiwei in his upcoming projects, Tian Xiwei's popularity can be maintained.

Most importantly—after Tian Xiwei caught Lu Yunzhou's eye, her future is limitless.

Who is Liu Haocun? A year ago, nobody knew her. Now, if Liu Haocun isn't a global sensation, she's at least a top-tier female celebrity in Asia.

All thanks to one work!

She's always standing in the center position when she walks the red carpet and takes photos!

Now that Fan Bingbing is here, Liu Haocun has to make way for her.

Because the global influence of Liu Haocun's one work is greater than the combined influence of all of Fan Bingbing's works throughout her career!

Zhu Xudan attended this brand gala for the first time, following Dilraba.

Before she came, her agent told her that by staying by Dilraba's side, she could gain favor with some brand executives.

Because Dilraba Dilmurat also attended various brand galas with Yang Mi back then, and through Yang Mi's introduction, she managed to get some...

Few endorsement deals.

But today, Zhu Xudan discovered that no one was paying any attention to her.

People from those brands surrounded Lu Yunzhou and Tian Xiwei.

Lu Yunzhou is certainly a big name. He is not only a top star in the domestic entertainment industry, but a world-class top star, and even the number one male star born in the 90s in the world.

All the people present combined were not as famous as Lu Yunzhou alone.

But what's the situation with Tian Xiwei?

What does it mean that people from those brands are handing out business cards to Tian Xiwei?

Looking around at the empty space beside her, while Tian Xiwei's side was packed with people, Zhu Xudan couldn't help but ask sourly, "Dilraba, why are those brand representatives ignoring us?"

Because you're ugly, and you're dreaming!

Dilraba sneered inwardly, but outwardly remained innocent, gently shaking her head: "I don't know."

she knows.

Because Lu Yunzhou shorted her stock!

Female celebrities are most afraid of aging and losing their beauty.

She was born in 92, and Tian Xiwei was born in 97.

She had been using Lu Yunzhou as her "white moonlight" for two years. When Lu Yunzhou was hanging out with Tang Yan, she could outshine Tang Yan and leave Tang Yan speechless.

After all, Tang Yan is quite old.

However, Lu Yunzhou was smarter this time and brought Tian Xiwei instead.

Under Lu Yunzhou's makeover, Tian Xiwei is fresh, sweet, and adorable, even surpassing the beauty of 20-year-old Yang Mi.

Moreover, Tian Xiwei just had a film released, in which she plays a cold villain with a cold rose pinned to her temple and wearing a Kou Rui dress.

A very charming and distinctive character!

With good looks, a good role, and the backing of a powerful figure like Lu Yunzhou—how could she possibly compete?

"Honey is so useless! She works like a slave for the company, her face is practically ruined, and she's only made a pitiful amount of money?"

"Turn around, and you'll find that Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao actually owe a hundred million! They even have to have Sister Mi film an ancient costume drama to repay the debt."

"What kind of lousy company is this?"

"It's all because Sister Honey couldn't protect us!"

Since her trusted older sister couldn't protect her at the company, Dilraba could imagine that her treatment wouldn't be much better going forward.

On the other hand, look how happy Tian Xiwei is!

Because her older brother, Lu Yunzhou, can protect her.

Not only can they protect people within the company, but they can also protect people in Italy, in New York, and all over the world!

As long as he doesn't go to Brooklyn, Lu Yunzhou is safe.

At this moment, Dilraba finally understood a profound truth: the biggest difference between people lies in their choices, not their efforts.

At the brand's gala dinner, Dilraba returned empty-handed for the first time.

Because she was in a very bad state.

She's been so tired this year.

-

She filmed three works: "The Flame's Daughter," "One Thousand and One Nights," and "Miracles of the Namiya General Store," and in between, she also appeared on "Running Man."

In addition, there are various fashion events and red carpets.

In contrast, Lu Yunzhou only films one project a year. The rest of the time he just shows up at various fashion events, basking in everyone's compliments.

Lu Yunzhou only filmed one project, and he was constantly complaining about being tired.

His fans are even more speechless. They keep saying that their brother works so hard, he should just make one movie every two years, take more photos and do some reality shows, and not put pressure on himself. Dilraba felt like throwing up just listening to them.

After the brand dinner.

Lu Yunzhou left with Tian Xiwei.

"Are you happy? Tonight you outshone Dilraba and became the darling of all the brands."

Lu Yunzhou turned his head to look at Tian Xiwei.

Tonight, although Dilraba won the Most Popular Female Idol of the Year award, she was overshadowed by Lu Yunzhou and Tian Xiwei at the brand gala, and she sulked all night.

This made Tian Xiwei extremely happy.

On the way back, Tian Xiwei held onto Lu Yunzhou's arm tightly, a silly grin spreading across her face, seemingly lost in thought.

"Big brother, you've helped me make money again, letting me enjoy life. How could I not be happy?"

Tonight, Tian Xiwei became Lu Yunzhou's ideal woman, which was the happiest thing for her.

What's more, she outshone everyone tonight, becoming Lu Yunzhou's most beautiful companion. All the brand partners present surrounded her, and even made arrangements for future collaborations.

This is tantamount to giving her money.

If she can secure just one-third of the brands listed here, her income for this year and next year will be guaranteed. Before long, she'll be able to buy a luxury mansion outright.

Then, there won't be a need to fight Wang Cheran.

"Big brother—I'm especially happy tonight, but I don't know how to express my feelings—so—"

At this moment, Tian Xiwei had no way to repay him, and all she wanted to do was hug Lu Yunzhou's head and kiss him hard.

Even though she couldn't drink the porridge, she could at least lick the rim of the bowl to taste it.

"shut up!"

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yunzhou reached out and covered her red lips, saying with great resistance, "I don't like eating lipstick. Besides, your lipstick is on my shirt collar, so this shirt is ruined. I really like this shirt."

If it were someone else, they would probably have given up by now and looked pitiful.

However, Tian Xiwei is no ordinary person.

She laughed heartily, casually hooking her arm around Lu Yunzhou's neck, and said, "Big brother, let me kiss you. If your clothes get dirty, I'll buy you another one."

"I do not want."

Lu Yunzhou really dislikes eating lipstick; it feels like plastic and paint, sticky and very uncomfortable. The experience is extremely unpleasant.

"Okay, stop fooling around, someone's calling."

Just then, Lu Yunzhou's phone rang.

Lu Yunzhou took out his phone from his pocket and waved it in front of Tian Xiwei.

When Tian Xiwei saw the caller ID, she was stunned: "Zhao Liying? Changshan Zhao Liying? No way?"

Isn't this the natural nemesis of Cao Yang fans?

Why call Lu Yunzhou?

Could it be that they want to switch jobs and team up to beat Yang Mi to a pulp?

This is going to be fun!

"Brother, you can answer the phone."

Tian Xiwei didn't intend to force a kiss on Lu Yunzhou, but she still clung to his neck and even sat on his lap.

She leaned close to Lu Yunzhou's ear, wanting to hear what Zhao Liying might have to say.

"Director Lu, I want to tell you a little secret. Qinqin said she's had a crush on you for a long time—she wants to find out if you have a girlfriend, and see if she still has a chance?"

After the call connected, Zhao Liying immediately cracked a little joke with Lu Yunzhou.

The next second, Li Lin's shouting came from the other end of the phone: "What do you mean? Little Boat Brother, don't listen to her nonsense!"

""

Immediately afterwards, a very soft voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Liying, please don't mess with me. He has a girlfriend. You're making me look bad."

"Really? Then it was my fault."

Zhao Liying apologized to Li Lin, then said earnestly to Lu Yunzhou, "Director Lu, I was just joking."

.

"Now let's get down to business—my agency contract is expiring soon. I have my own studio, but I'm not a particularly energetic person; I just want to focus on acting. As for other things, I'd like to find a reliable company to handle them for me—would you like to take me on?"

After talking for a while, Zhao Liying finally revealed her true intentions: she wanted to join Lu Yunzhou's company as a personal studio.

of course.

As a top-tier celebrity with multiple hit dramas under her belt, Zhao Liying isn't here to be Lu Yunzhou's slave.

Instead, she wanted to join Lu Yunzhou's company as a partner, achieving a position similar to Tang Yan's.

She also has a huge ambition: to work with Lu Yunzhou to expand the company and make it the number one entertainment agency in the Chinese entertainment industry!

"Director Lu, I've looked into your company's situation. They're mostly young actresses. Unless you lead the team, it'll be difficult for them to carry a whole drama."

"If I join you, I'll help you carry dramas, film several historical romance dramas, and mentor newcomers one by one until they can carry dramas independently!"

"This is my pledge of loyalty. Once I've rendered outstanding service to the company, I'll use those achievements to exchange for some roles in your movies. What do you say?"

"I don't need a leading lady, any classic supporting role will do."

Zhao Liying knew that her face was suitable for TV dramas, but when she was making movies, her image was too immature and lacked a sense of story.

However, she really wanted to achieve the quality of a movie.

To be honest, after filming so many historical romance dramas, Zhao Liying also felt a bit tired of them.

After all, she was not short of money.

She wanted to pursue the pinnacle of her career, to pursue true art of light and shadow.

Although she and Dilraba are both top-tier celebrities, they are in completely different states—Dilraba has no ambition whatsoever, and her acting fails to evoke empathy from the audience.

Zhao Liying is a talented actress; her explosive acting skills can resonate with many viewers.

She felt that she couldn't keep going in the ancient costume drama genre forever; it would be a waste of her talent and patience.

She hopes to achieve some breakthroughs in her work.

Unfortunately, her resources, her agent's abilities, and her network of connections meant that she could only work in historical dramas!

Fortunately, Lu Yunzhou rose to prominence and became a rising star in the domestic commercial film industry, with a high international reputation, which gave her another option.

Most importantly, Lu Yunzhou and Li Lin have a very good relationship.

She is also Li Lin's good friend.

Li Qin had nothing to offer Lu Yunzhou—but she could.

By tying her career to Lu Yunzhou, she can at least receive the same treatment as Tang Yan once, right?

Even if she's just a supporting actress in a blockbuster commercial film.

The box office of "Crazy Racing" exceeded 7 million US dollars, making Tang Yan a big sister in Shanghai's entertainment circle, and she is sought after wherever she goes.

That was so dashing.

Although Yang Mi didn't say it, she was extremely envious of Tang Yan's sudden rise in status in the martial arts world.

Zhao Liying and Tang Yan had no conflicts, but they also had no interaction—their only commonality was that they had both won the Golden Eagle Goddess award.

Yang Mi has never won it.

"Sister Zhao, I usually don't make decisions before going to bed—how about this, you talk to Sister Tangtang first and see if you can persuade her?"

Zhao Liying's desire to join his company surprised Lu Yunzhou.

However, Lu Yunzhou instinctively felt that this was a good thing for the company's roster depth.

After all, Zhao Liying is an MVP-caliber performer, a true ratings queen. She's incredibly efficient at creating hit shows.

Comparable to Durant!

Which team would refuse Durant's offer?

However, the current boss of the company is Tang Yan. Zhao Liying joining the company will not affect Lu Yunzhou, but it will affect Tang Yan's position in the company.

Tang Yan is the top female employee in the company.

unimportant.

Tang Yan is the third child in Lu Yunzhou's family, and that's the most important thing!
