Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 123 To snatch a role! Naza's quick thinking sparks infighting within the D8 group of friends!

"You guys go downstairs and order your food. I'm going upstairs to meet our big director! Let's try to get you a role, and we'll give you a bonus next year."

We arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Naza touched up her makeup in the car for a while, making sure her appearance was flawless, before finally going upstairs in her high heels.

"Go Zacchaeus!"

The assistant and executive agent are truly impressed with Nazha this time.

In the past, when such things happened, the company's agent would step in to talk to the director and producer, explaining that although Nazha's acting skills were very poor, she was at least beautiful and had a good reputation among the public.

Most importantly, the prices are very low; making movies is almost free, and the pay for making TV series is also very low.

Naza mainly relies on film and television dramas to gain recognition, and then uses her beauty to get fashion endorsements—no matter what kind of film or television drama it is, there are always some pretty vases.

This is Nazha's exclusive track; no one else can beat her.

But this time, Nazha clearly wants to ask Lu Yunzhou for an important role.

"Xiao Wang, do you think Sister Zha can handle it?"

The executive broker turned to ask the assistant.

The assistant hurriedly shook her head: "Definitely not. We all know what kind of professional skills Sister Zha has. Hopefully, she won't be scolded to tears by Director Lu."

"I don't see it that way."

The assistant may not know many things, but the executive agent knows very well that Nazha had gotten into Lu Yunzhou's car at least twice.

Although the longest he ever did was only 2 minutes and 28 seconds, he then came out cursing.

Regardless, the relationship between Nazha and Lu Yunzhou is definitely much stronger than that between Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou.

Given that it's a Middle Eastern-themed film, as long as Dilraba doesn't try to steal the role, Gulnazar has a high probability of getting a good part.

Because Nazha doesn't have meal replacements.

In his hotel room, Lu Yunzhou had ordered room service and was currently enjoying his meal in complete comfort.

Outside is the scenic view of the East Fourth Ring Road.

To be honest, it's just average.

Beijing's urban development is inferior to that of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and many of China's new first-tier cities.

After all, this is an old city.

Older cities, in terms of urban development, are never as able as newer cities, which can plan with the latest concepts from scratch and have the advantage of being latecomers.

This is why many Chinese tourists find old cities abroad to be very dilapidated.

Because those urban developments were built decades ago when the local human resources were at their peak.

Next, due to population issues, aging populations, and maintenance costs, cities will gradually age.

These are physical rules.

"Boss, Miss Nazha is here."

Lu Yunzhou was accompanied by an assistant, a bodyguard, and a driver when he went out.

Upon hearing the knock, the bodyguard glanced outside and opened the door, but did not let Nazha in rashly.

"Let her in."

97

Lu Yunzhou waved his hand gently.

As the group let Nazha in, they immediately realized that the two had something important to discuss, so they quietly left the room.

"My Yarm, you're putting on quite a show now."

Naza walked in without even changing her shoes, wearing high heels, and sat down in front of Lu Yunzhou, deliberately crossing her legs.

Her long, slender, and fair legs swayed in front of Lu Yunzhou.

She deliberately leaned down, revealing her neckline to Lu Yunzhou's eyes, and noticed that Lu Yunzhou glanced at her chest.

Naza then said, her voice tinged with jealousy, "Why did you change your assistant? Wasn't the last young man quite nice?"

Now it's a tall, beautiful girl with long legs, and she walks so gracefully, truly elegant. Who arranged this for you? Did Sister Tangtang arrange it for you? She's so thoughtful of you."

Lu Yunzhou came out now with a beautiful female assistant by his side.

She has a great presence and looks to be over 1.75 meters tall.

When she came in, Nazha bumped shoulders with the other person and was almost thrown off balance—clearly, this is no mere pretty face; she's incredibly strong.

In a critical moment, he could probably even be used as a bodyguard.

Have you eaten yet?

Lu Yunzhou clearly didn't want to discuss this topic further, and directly set out a bowl and chopsticks for Nazha: "If you haven't eaten before, have some with us."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Naza put her handbag aside, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and ate with Lu Yunzhou.

However, Nazha's hand holding the chopsticks quickly became hesitant, and she couldn't help but complain, "You eat so much meat and fish every day, how am I supposed to eat? Do you want me to become a little fatso?"

Lu Yunzhou eats meat and fish every day; he's a pure carnivore.

Naza recalled how she endured hunger to lose weight, occasionally indulging in bland, healthy meals that lacked flavor.

Both are celebrities, so why does she have to work so hard?

"After I finish eating, I'm going to the gym. You think you can lose weight just by starving yourself?"

Lu Yunzhou could tell at a glance that Nazha's figure wasn't achieved through exercise, but rather through starvation.

"Wait a minute, I'll work out with you."

Naza grinned at Lu Yunzhou.

At the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony in Hohhot last time, Nazha was almost scared to death by Dai Si while she was eating porridge, which made her have to run away in the middle of the night.

Hopefully no one will bother us this time.

She's been craving this for two months now.

"Let's get down to business first."

As Lu Yunzhou placed a piece of beef on Nazha's plate, he said, "I'm going to Qatar in a couple of days. Would you like to come with me?"

"Okay, okay."

How could Nazha possibly refuse?

Going out with Lu Yunzhou is a great way to earn money and enjoy the pleasures of dating.

"Let me make it clear beforehand, you probably won't get a very important role in this movie."

Lu Yunzhou knew what Nazha was expecting, so he didn't try to fool her this time. Instead, he poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "Although I don't understand Arabs, I understand the thoughts of Chinese audiences. Back then, Zhang Yimou made a film called 'The Great Wall,' which had a foreigner save the Chinese people, and it was heavily criticized in China. The box office wasn't particularly good either."

"If we're going to make a film about Qatari mythology, we absolutely cannot make a similar mistake."

"Although you do resemble Queen Mother Moza somewhat, it's merely Her Majesty's personal admiration. The local audience won't accept that."

"Therefore, the female lead of this movie, or rather, the main character in the plot, still needs to be a local actress."

of course.

Lu Yunzhou only said half of what he meant.

If we only cast local actors, how will this movie be sold worldwide? Especially how will it be released in China?

Therefore, his storyline with Liu Haocun cannot be delayed.

After all, Lu Yunzhou still wanted to use the "Fairy Castle" IP to further develop it and make it a classic.

He is considering whether to borrow the dual-narrative plot of "A Writer's Odyssey," which combines reality and fiction.

In this way, the realistic storyline and the fantasy storyline can be developed into two main storylines, which can simultaneously meet the needs of China and the Middle East.

As for Europe and America—if they want to see fresh fantasy stories, they will probably buy tickets to see it.

The most important thing is that the movie is good.

Just like Chinese audiences, although they may look down on some poor and backward countries in Southeast Asia, they will still go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch any film, whether it is Iranian or Indian, as long as it is well made.

Movies are just commodities.

Few people care where this movie was made.

Of course, there is a premise here—as a product, you cannot offend consumers, you cannot act like a father, but rather you must appease consumers.

"I want to play a Middle Eastern fairy."

"How about the role played by Zhang Tianai?"

Naza is quite clever.

Zhang Tianai's character in "The Fairy Castle of Dresden" only had a few scenes, but like "Brother Jiaqian," she became a viral sensation.

"I wanted to mold you into a pearl-diving girl who represents goodness and beauty, but all you want to be is a fairy?"

Lu Yunzhou clicked his tongue, shook his head, and sighed, thinking that Nazha simply lacked ambition.

Upon hearing this, Nazha immediately put down her chopsticks, ran to Lu Yunzhou's side, hugged him, and said coquettishly, "My dear Yalm, I was wrong. I'll listen to you. You can arrange it however you want, I have absolutely no objection."

The character that Lu Yunzhou designed for me is definitely better than I imagined.

Nazha still trusts Lu Yunzhou on this point.

"I don't have any thoughts right now, I just instinctively feel that if you play the female lead, the ordinary people of Qatar might not be satisfied."

Lu Yunzhou knew almost nothing about the Arab world.

After all, the Arab world is not his primary film market, but it is a blue ocean market for luxury goods.

In order to win over his next biggest customer, Lu Yunzhou was willing to spend a lot of time and energy studying their preferences.

"Oh, by the way, I've prepared a mystery gift for you."

As they were talking, Nazha suddenly remembered something, took out a golden maple leaf from her small bag, and handed it to Lu Yunzhou.

"What are these maple leaves? They're so beautiful!"

When Lu Yunzhou saw the maple leaf, he was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that it was a golden maple leaf.

No wonder it shines so brightly under the lights.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I really like this gift."

Although a single maple leaf might not cost more than a few grams of gold, who could resist such a glittering gift?

"As long as you like it."

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou had almost finished eating, Nazha put down her chopsticks and went to draw the curtains.

She winked at Lu Yunzhou and chuckled, "Have you ever heard a song sung by Jay Chou?"

"The slowly falling maple leaves are like my longing; I light a candle for warmth. In the autumn of the year's end, the aurora borealis sweeps across the sky, and the north wind brushes past your face—"

Naza's singing is really awful, completely inversely proportional to her appearance.

Lu Yunzhou almost burst out laughing, but it took a lot of effort to hold it in.

"Ta-da!"

After singing a few lines, Nazha took out her phone and showed Lu Yunzhou some photos, saying proudly, "What do you think of this neighborhood? It's near the high-speed rail station. Next time you come from Shanghai, just get off at the high-speed rail station, and it's just a few steps to this neighborhood."

"I just placed my order last month!"

"From now on, I'll also keep a mistress in a golden house."

After saying that, Nazha leaned against Lu Yunzhou's chest, scrolling through photos of the room on her phone, and said to Lu Yunzhou, "Although it's not as beautiful as your 6000 million yuan mansion, I think it's still quite beautiful."

"It's quite pretty."

Since it wasn't his own money, Lu Yunzhou definitely has the emotional intelligence to say a few nice words to make Nazha happy.

"Don't waste my time—I have some things to do later."

Naza checked the time; she had been up there for an hour, half an hour for eating and half an hour for chatting.

Now everyone's starting to look at houses.

She almost forgot the main purpose of her visit.

At that moment, Nazha whispered a mysterious Uyghur spell in Lu Yunzhou's ear: "ajia—nanaomu—"

niyala!

(Being a simp for my older sister!)

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou's expression stiffened, and he covered his forehead, saying, "Where did you learn that phrase? Can't you be a little more polite?"

Naza chuckled and said, "Tell me, did that have any effect? ​​Look at you, you immediately felt uncomfortable after hearing that, didn't you?"

They had finished their meal and drawn the curtains. Both of them knew exactly what was going to happen next, so what were they waiting for?

"Be nicer to me from now on. At least smile more."

"If you smile at Dilraba once, you have to smile at me at least 10 times."

"I think I'm at least 10 times prettier than her."

At that moment, Nazha took the initiative to hook her arm around Lu Yunzhou's neck and leaned close to him affectionately.

After saying that, she kissed him, but quickly realized something was wrong and stopped.

After kissing for a while, Nazha suddenly sensed a strange taste.

She lowered her head and sniffed Lu Yunzhou's body, her face full of doubt: "My dear Yalm, what perfume are you wearing today? This scent is a bit intoxicating."

As she spoke, Nazha reached out and touched Lu Yunzhou's waist and abdomen.

The abs do feel really good to the touch.

Lu Yunzhou wasn't lying after all—he really had been training a lot lately, and the results were remarkable. He was in much better shape than when we last met.

This made Nazha even happier.

Drink your porridge, hurry up!

Her assistant and agent are still waiting downstairs.

"no?"

"Wait a minute?"

"Something's wrong with you—"

"Brother, please let me go."

"Brother, I have an event later, I'm going to be late."

Naza set aside three hours to have dinner and date with Lu Yunzhou, enjoying the pleasure of drinking porridge.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Lu Yunzhou went to take a shower and get ready.

"My Yarm, you hid so well!"

When Lu Yunzhou returned, she quickly hugged him. The blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, and her eyes exuded an indescribable charm.

"So this is what porridge tastes like."

The events of tonight are truly unforgettable for Nazha.

She murmured for a while, then whispered in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "Tell me honestly, did Dilraba drink it?"

Lu Yunzhou snorted softly, then poked Nazha's lips with the base of his thumb, teasingly asking, "Would you believe me if I said no?"

"I don't believe it."

Na bared her teeth and brandished her claws at Lu Yunzhou, saying jealously, "Every time she sees you, she looks like a resentful woman. You tell me she doesn't? Who would believe that? Nobody on the internet would believe it."

"To be honest, nobody listens."

Lu Yunzhou and Dilraba Dilmurat had only met a few times.

For some reason, in the hearts of many netizens, Dilraba is an unforgettable white moonlight.

His fans, on the other hand, have been clarifying across the internet that Dilraba was a snob who gave up the opportunity to work with Lu Yunzhou.

Now that Lu Yunzhou has become rich, Dilraba is sticking to him like a leech, without any sense of shame.

Fans hope that the entire internet can see through Dilraba's scheming nature.

Although both sides have their own version of events and argue fiercely online all day long, no one believes that they are innocent.

Even Zhang Ruonan, Wang Ran, Tian Xiwei, and Liu Haocun did not believe what he said.

Every time these four people see Dilraba, they feel an inexplicable surge of anger—Lu Yunzhou didn't understand before, could their hatred for Dilraba be greater than his own?

Now, he seems to have realized something from Nazha's answer.

"Nazha, what did you say you wanted to talk about?"

Just then, Lu Yunzhou suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Nazha.

Naza snapped out of her daze and screamed, "Oh no! I have an event tonight! I'm doomed!"

Naza scrambled to get her phone, which contained dozens of missed calls and dozens of WeChat messages urging her to hurry up.

"We're going to be late."

Starting in November, it's settlement day for fashion stars.

Naza happens to have a project this year, "Sewing Machine Band," as well as a major show at Milan Fashion Week.

She's been generating a lot of buzz in the fashion world this year.

Basically, there's a fashion event to attend every week. These fashion events are like battlefields for Nazha.

"My dear Yarm, next time you come, don't stay in a hotel, just come to my house." After giving Lu Yunzhou a big kiss, Nazha got dressed and went downstairs without hesitation.

"Sister Zha, you're finally down! If you hadn't come down, I was going to call the police. Let's hurry up and get going, we should still make it in time."

The executive agent and assistant waited for a long time in the lobby downstairs.

Upon seeing Nazha appear, the two quickly surrounded her and hurriedly led her into the garage.

"What's the rush?"

Naza appeared very anxious in front of Lu Yunzhou.

-

However, after returning to her comfort zone, Nazha lazily said, "Our director Lu promised me that he'd give me a small supporting role in 'The Fairy Castle 2.' I'll go on a business trip to Qatar with him in a couple of days."

"Emperor Zah is mighty!"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at Nazha excitedly: "If we can get such a role, it doesn't matter if we lose fashion resources! After the news spreads, more fashion resources will come to us!"

For female celebrities, their work is the most important thing!

Because a work can help a female celebrity build popularity, change her personal image, and enhance her personal reputation!

If you don't have any work to show for it, but you walk the red carpet every day and want to maintain your popularity, you can only spend money every day to release press releases and tell others that you don't want to join a film crew because you don't need the money.

But what is the reality?

Who among those who truly have plenty of money would say to others that they don't need it?

It's like a good person constantly proclaiming that they are a good person. What's the point? Anyone who does that every day is probably hiding something.

"Zha Huang, have you successfully become a sister-in-law?"

The assistant and executive agent realized something at that moment and turned around, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Nazha.

If Nazha becomes their sister-in-law, their status will rise accordingly. They'll be able to do whatever they want at the company, and if they're unhappy, they can just jump ship with Nazha.

"What sister-in-law? You're all overthinking it. Actually, I begged him on my knees until my knees were swollen. You won't believe me, just look."

As she spoke, Nazha rolled up her trouser legs so the two of them could see them.

It's definitely a bit red, and there are some small cuts.

I guess they really knelt for a long time.

For a moment, the two felt sorry for Nazha and kept complaining, "That Lu Yunzhou guy, is he really that bad in private? He's so heartless! You even made a movie with him before."

"Yes, he's a very hard-hearted person."

Naza nodded seriously and said to the two of them, "Find a suitable time and spread a rumor for me, saying that Lu Yunzhou is ruthless and hates female celebrities who don't know their place. If you want to get any resources from him, you'll at least have to get a lot of flak from him. In short, I've suffered so much to get this role."

"Dilraba probably suffered a lot, which is why she turned her love for him into hatred."

Naza thought to herself, if others knew how enjoyable it was to drink porridge—wouldn't all those female celebrities go crazy and come to compete with her?

This is absolutely not possible.

At this moment, she had no choice but to go against her conscience and spread rumors that Lu Yunzhou was ruthless, so that those female celebrities would think twice before trying to get resources and instead be verbally abused and humiliated in public.

"Sister Zha, you've really suffered. Let me put some medicine on you, just bear with it."

The assistant felt sorry for Nazha.

At this moment, she took out some anti-inflammatory medicine from her bag and applied some to Nazha's knees.

Being a celebrity is really tough.

They even had to kneel down and beg for resources—no wonder Nazha wouldn't let them go upstairs.

"Sister Zha, when we get back I'll find a rag doll, write Lu Yunzhou's name on it, and prick the doll with a needle to curse Lu Yunzhou to a terrible death."

The assistant shared Nazha's hatred of the enemy and wanted to show her loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Nazha immediately turned around and glared at her assistant: "What's wrong with you? Why are you cursing him?"

He's my Yarm!

The assistant said very loyally, "He treated you so badly, I'm trying to help you. And you're actually speaking up for him?"

I don't understand.

That makes sense.

Naza was stunned for a long time, but she couldn't find any flaw in her statement.

Fortunately, the executive agent jumped in, slapped the assistant on the head, and said, "Are you stupid? Sister Zha knelt and begged him for so long to get a minor supporting role. If you curse him to death, wouldn't Sister Zha's kneeling have been for nothing? Next time, can you think before you speak? Don't say whatever comes to mind."

The assistant rubbed his head and muttered, "Well then, after the movie is released and Sister Zha becomes famous, I'll curse him then. In short, I won't let him get away with it."

Hey!

Tired.

Naza heard the two whispering and discussing how to curse Lu Yunzhou, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Why are other people's right-hand men so clever? My right-hand men have the same IQ as me; they believe any rumor.

"Have you heard? A certain actress with a four-character name knelt for an hour to beg for a small role from director Lu Yunzhou. Her knees were swollen from kneeling, but he still didn't agree."

"I don't think that's what I heard. The female celebrity not only had to kneel on the ground, but also kowtow and shout that she was wrong."

"Lu Yunzhou sat on the sofa, drinking coffee, condescendingly humiliating the other party. This female celebrity is too humble for a role."

"In my opinion, she should just stick to making TV dramas and not let others trample on her dignity for the sake of a role."

"What four-character female celebrity? Just say Dilraba's name. If I were Lu Yunzhou, I wouldn't agree either."

"If I were Lu Yunzhou, even if Dilraba knelt down and begged me, or even if Yang Mi knelt down and begged me along with her, I would never agree."

Liu Haocun is studying at the Beijing Dance Academy. After listening to Lu Yunzhou's advice, he decided to study hard.

As a result, one morning when she woke up, she suddenly discovered that the whole school was talking about Lu Yunzhou humiliating a certain four-character female celebrity.

How many female celebrities in the entertainment industry have four-character names?

It seems like there's only one Dilraba.

As for Nazha?

She couldn't possibly kneel down and beg Lu Yunzhou—there was absolutely no need. Because Nazha was Kou Rui's spokesperson.

She doesn't even need to ask Lu Yunzhou for help; if there's any good project, Lu Yunzhou will take her along.

"Dilraba is going too far. She's starting to play the victim again, staging her own drama and making up stories to torture herself online."

Liu Haocun felt an instinctive aversion to Dilraba.

Because every time Dilraba stirs up a scandal, she always starts from a unique angle, then takes a detour and suddenly acts like a pure and innocent person, as if she is the most pitiful person in the world, and everyone else is either an accomplice or trying to harm her.

Since the fashion awards ceremony ended, Lu Yunzhou hasn't seen Dilraba for a full 20 days, and the two haven't had any contact at all.

How come he's started abusing Dilraba again in the blink of an eye?

Is it even worth the torture?

Even if we take a step back and Dilraba begs Lu Yunzhou, and he doesn't want to give her movie resources, is there a problem?

If movie resources can be obtained simply by begging, then what is the point of my existence as the female lead?

Why should I bother developing my acting skills?

Why should we listen to Lu Yunzhou and study hard at school?

He could just kneel down in front of Lu Yunzhou every day.

Liu Haocun didn't feel wronged.

While kneeling on the ground, she could also conveniently wipe down the floor in Lu Yunzhou's house. She definitely wouldn't harbor any resentment.

"Cunzi, you went through a lot of hardship to get this lead role, didn't you?"

The students were initially filled with jealousy that Liu Haocun had suddenly become the female lead in Lu Yunzhou's movie, after all, the movie was about to break the 10 billion US dollar box office mark, which would definitely be a landmark project in film history.

Liu Haocun may become the most famous alumnus in the history of Beijing Dance Academy.

As a result, some negative information about Lu Yunzhou suddenly surfaced online, saying that he particularly enjoyed abusing actresses.

"hehe."

Faced with this question, Liu Haocun couldn't help but sneer sarcastically, wanting to shout out loud, "The greatest hardship I've ever endured in my life is earning 3000 million a year!"

Do you even know how hard it is to earn 3000 million a year?

He would always specifically tell me not to get my feet wet and to apply some ointment, otherwise it would form a scar and make it look bad when I wear skirts.

You actually spread rumors online that he likes to abuse actresses?

Although she wanted to defend Lu Yunzhou, Liu Haocun adopted the same strategy as Nazha at this moment: "You're all right—Director Lu Yunzhou is indeed not easy to get along with. Filming with him is really tough."

Although it's tough, I'm willing to endure it.

Liu Haocun didn't know what to call her actions at that moment—but she vaguely felt that she seemed to be shorting the entire generation of young actresses in the entertainment industry!

Actresses who can't endure hardship and suffering will stay away from Lu Yunzhou in the future and won't try to piggyback on his film projects.

Most actresses born in the 95s are from wealthy families, and very few of them are willing to endure such hardship.

But it doesn't matter, as long as she's willing.

Beijing Film Academy, school library.

"Shh."

Zhang Jingyi is quietly reading a book by herself, studying some acting methodologies.

Wang Junkai popped up again, holding a book to cover his face, and said to Zhang Jingyi, "Jingjing, have you seen the rumors online? A female celebrity with the nickname 'Four Characters' revealed that Brother Zhou made her kneel as punishment in private."

"Fake."

Zhang Jingyi sighed softly: "The rumors circulating online these days are outrageous. Some people online are even saying I'm his stepmother, and Liu Haocun is his godmother. Do you believe that?"

"I certainly don't believe that."

Wang Junkai laughed and said, "This rumor is a bit too outrageous."

Zhang Jingyi and Liu Haocun are clearly Lu Yunzhou's younger sisters, so how did they become godmother and stepmother?

"However, I'm somewhat inclined to believe the treatment this four-character female celebrity received—if she wanted to ask Brother Zhou for a role, it's only natural that he would make her kneel as punishment."

"It's her fault for always trying to ride on other people's coattails. If it were me, I wouldn't even bother to see her; I'd just tell her to get lost!"

Wang Junkai also had his own reasons.

Dilraba won't get many good movie roles because Yang Mi can't protect her.

However, the relationship between Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou is not as deep-seated as the internet claims. Wang Junkai has seen Lu Yunzhou and Dilraba at a fashion gala event.

Lu Yunzhou was generally quite friendly towards Dilraba.

If Dilraba needs a film resource—plus, it's already widely circulated online that Lu Yunzhou has secured a film order from the Queen Mother of Qatar, possibly to shoot an epic fantasy film set in the Middle East.

Dilraba's face has a very Middle Eastern feel to it.

If she asks for the role at this time, she has a chance of getting it.

As for whether Lu Yunzhou would make things difficult for him—Wang Junkai imagined that if he were Lu Yunzhou, he would definitely make Dilireba show her attitude.

Under these circumstances, it's not impossible for Dilraba to steel herself and kneel down to beg Lu Yunzhou.

"My brother isn't that kind of person."

Zhang Jingyi was too lazy to explain to Wang Junkai.

Although she didn't have many interactions with Lu Yunzhou, she could generally sense that he was a very mild-tempered person.

He is a calculating person at heart.

But what they care about is profit, not personal face.

If Dilraba could bring him huge benefits, Lu Yunzhou would agree without even kneeling down.

However, if Dilraba could not bring him significant benefits, Lu Yunzhou would not humiliate her by kneeling.

"Holy crap!"

"Jingjing, the Weibo square is full of topics denouncing Zhou Ge on behalf of Dilraba. There must be someone deliberately leading this."

After being criticized a few times, Wang Junkai has gained some experience.

The dynamics on Weibo's public platform are mostly orchestrated by individuals; they couldn't possibly be spontaneously generated.

Whoever sets the tone at this time is the biggest mastermind.

"Where are they? I'll log in and give them a piece of my mind!"

Zhang Jingyi was originally a quiet little girl, but when she heard a lot of people online denouncing Lu Yunzhou on behalf of Dilraba, her face immediately darkened.

Lu Yunzhou didn't care about the various rumors circulating on Weibo.

Ji Rujing will help him send various lawyer's letters, directly using legal means to stop this rumor-mongering behavior.

-

However, he still had some doubts.

Although I keep my distance from many female celebrities in the entertainment industry and maintain a cool and aloof image, when did I become a tyrant in the eyes of many people?

On the plane from Beijing to Qatar.

Sitting next to Lu Yunzhou, Liu Haocun watched as the online buzz gradually died down and couldn't help but complain to Lu Yunzhou, "Brother, Dilraba is really annoying. She fabricated rumors about you just to ride your coattails. Luckily, everyone knows your personality, and not many people believed the rumor. The buzz died down in just two days."

Lu Yunzhou gently shook his head, resting his chin on his hand and asking疑惑地问道, "Xiao Cun, I know a bit about Dilraba. Spreading these kinds of rumors doesn't benefit her at all. Why would she do something so thankless? Do you think she's trying to express her situation through this rumor?"

Liu Haocun thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. I heard that their company is in serious turmoil. Yang Mi has been ousted from management. Another artist in their company said in an interview that Yang Mi is not their boss. I guess their company is taking sides. Those who choose the wrong side may be purged."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou seemed to understand something.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Lu Yunzhou's face, Liu Haocun became anxious: "Big brother, are you thinking of taking over Dilraba?"

"Did I write words on my face?"

Lu Yunzhou laughed and rubbed Liu Haocun's cheek: "Why do you think I want to take over Dilraba's career?"

"A woman's intuition."

Liu Haocun turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, gently tugging at his sleeve, and said, "Brother, we all hate Dilraba. If she joins the company, things might get chaotic."

"Don't worry, I never thought about that."

Lu Yunzhou recalled a sentence he had heard somewhere.

A complex external environment makes the internal environment relatively simple.

However, if there is a powerful enemy outside, it will unite everyone inside.

He gradually realized that the reason why all the young women in his company were united and never fought amongst themselves was because they all had a major hidden threat.

This refers to Dilraba.

They all felt that Dilraba was Lu Yunzhou's ideal woman, and that Lu Yunzhou was single-mindedly waiting to take over Dilraba.

Realizing this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

This is a tremendous injustice!

However, unknowingly, Dilraba has garnered everyone's hatred, making all the female heroes on her side want to protect Lu Yunzhou closely to prevent him from being hurt by Dilraba again.

"Nazha, why are you so quiet today?"

Accompanying Lu Yunzhou to Qatar, besides the female lead Liu Haocun, was also Nazha, the spokesperson for Kou Rui.

Next week, Kou Rui will open a flagship store in both Dubai and Doha.

As the brand ambassador, Nazha naturally has to attend offline events.

"I'm just a little tired."

Naza gave Lu Yunzhou a shy smile, looking guilty, and lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

How did it become Dilraba? She should be the female lead in the rumors.

After all, she really did kneel down.

"Then you should get some rest."

Lu Yunzhou turned off the lights above their heads and covered Nazha with a blanket, saying, "The journey is long, you should get some sleep."

"Thanks."

Nazha didn't know what to say.

She desperately wanted to tell Lu Yunzhou the truth—but if she did, Lu Yunzhou might not blame her, and Liu Haocun, who was standing next to her, would probably post all the stupid things she had done in all the WeChat groups.

Then she'll be too ashamed to face anyone.

never mind!

Since Dilraba has already stepped forward to take the blame, let's leave it at that.

"Big brother, something's wrong with you."

Liu Haocun saw Lu Yunzhou personally cover Nazha with a blanket.

She stared at Nazha for a long time, convinced that there was definitely something going on between Nazha and Lu Yunzhou.

However, she was young and inexperienced, and her eyesight wasn't very sharp; she only had suspicions but no evidence.

"Something's not right?"

Lu Yunzhou knew what Liu Haocun was thinking. At that moment, he covered Liu Haocun with a blanket in the same way and with the same force: "You should rest early too."

"Um.

""

Tian Xiwei wasn't here, and Liu Hao thought to himself, "Why am I taking a break? I should hurry up and catch up on my progress."

She reached out and hugged Lu Yunzhou's left arm: "Big brother, don't go back to what you didn't want. Dilraba isn't right for you."

.

Why go back to an old friend?

I've never eaten it before.

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou felt extremely wronged. Since everyone thought so, he deliberately teased Liu Haocun: "I didn't have any feelings for her originally, but you keep bringing it up, which has made me start to have some thoughts—could she really be that outstanding?"

"Brother, to be fair, she is indeed quite outstanding. In an environment like Jiahang Media, she managed to stand out like a weed. Most people couldn't do that."

Liu Haocun thought for a while and surprisingly did not deny Dilraba, but nodded very seriously.

Just as Lu Yunzhou was wondering, Liu Haocun said very seriously, "However, she has too many things to do, and she's aged a little too quickly."

You have a sharp tongue too.

Lu Yunzhou chuckled to himself and prepared to put on his eye mask, intending to spend the long journey sleeping.

Just then, Liu Haocun whispered in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "Big brother, I've been practicing a sword dance at school lately. It's absolutely stunning. Do you want to see it? I'll perform it for you when we get to Qatar. I even brought the equipment."

Damn.

How could I refuse?

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou was truly tempted, but he held back.

"You're so thoughtful."

"However, let's take care of our business first!"

"The Fairy Castle 2 is crucial to us. If this movie fails, all my plans will have to be rearranged. You might end up working with director Zhang Yimou in the future."

Liu Haocun was a fresh and charming young girl, and Lu Yunzhou could sense her little feelings for him.

But now is not the time.

Naza was still watching from the side.

Liu Haocun was unaware of his affair with Nazha—and Lu Yunzhou certainly didn't want Liu Haocun to know either.

Therefore, when he goes to Qatar, he'd better treat everyone equally.

Otherwise, if both Nazha and Liu Haocun come knocking on his door at the same time, things will get a bit complicated!

"Big brother, I just want to follow you."

Although director Zhang Yimou had high hopes for him and even invited him to direct his art film "One Second".

However, the thought of having to face director Zhang Yimou's face every day after joining the film crew made Liu Haocun feel extremely bad and hopeless about life.

A feeling of impending imprisonment welled up inside me.

Back when she was filming a movie with Lu Yunzhou in Italy, Liu Haocun was always motivated to get up early every day just thinking about seeing Lu Yunzhou's handsome face the next morning.

Tian Xiwei even got up earlier than her!

This is what it means to pursue your dreams!

Working with director Zhang Yimou on a film project is just like doing a job, a regular job.

Can these two be the same thing?

Just as Lu Yunzhou and his group were heading to Qatar, the online story about Dilraba kneeling and begging Lu Yunzhou gradually came to an end.

Throughout the entire incident, Lu Yunzhou did not blame Dilraba's side. Instead, he had Ji Rujing send a lawyer's letter to warn those self-media outlets that were spreading rumors.

After everything had completely settled down, Dilraba finally came to her senses and sent Yang Mi a message with very mixed feelings: "Sister Mi, why did you do this to me?"

Yang Mi saw the message pop up in her hand and snorted, but her words were very innocent: "Dilraba, what's wrong with you? How's your reading of the script for 'One Thousand and One Nights' going? The company has arranged a big project for you, do you like it?"

Dilraba gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Honey, this drama is very good, I will film it seriously. What I want to say is, why are you stirring up trouble for me online? Saying that I knelt down and begged him or something? You know very well that I would never do such a thing, and he would never make me kneel down in such an undignified way."

"I want to know, why did you go through all that trouble? He's not really going to invite me to shoot his visual blockbuster."

When Dilraba insisted it was her, Yang Mi stopped pretending and snorted, saying, "Who knows? Who knows—"

First, he still can't let you go and is willing to give you another chance. If you seize this opportunity, won't you truly become the head of Jiahang Media? Then, will I still have to call you "Sister Ba"?

If I can't climb up, neither can you!

Yang Mi knew that her face had already been ruined, and coupled with the many people she had offended over the years, she probably would never get film opportunities from big directors in her lifetime.

But Dilraba is still a possibility.

In particular, Dilraba is known as Lu Yunzhou's "white moonlight".

What if some directors are willing to take a gamble?

Yang Mi even had a premonition that Qatar's film project was a scheme deliberately orchestrated by Lu Yunzhou to recruit Dilraba back to Qatar.

It's really hard to say.

If she were Dilraba Dilmurat, and had the chance to film a visual blockbuster with a production budget of over 1 million US dollars, and it was a sequel to a successful work, she would be willing to kneel down to Lu Yunzhou, or even lick his toes!

So, with a single move, she shattered Dilraba's hopes!

"Dilraba, I know exactly what your trump card is. Don't even think about leaving Jiahang or escaping my control. You'd better do a good job."

"At the very least, make me get back the money I'm entitled to for my shares."

"Once I've made enough money, I'll leave this lousy company. Then, you can do whatever you want with me."

""

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she turned off her phone, left it in the van, and headed to the film set to shoot.

"I treated you like an older sister, and this is how you treat me?"

It will take at least 5 years for Yang Mi to leave after she has earned enough money.

Five years later, Dilraba calculated that she was already 30 years old. How much of her youth could she still squander on the big screen?

Should she play a female version of Özil and make a movie called "Shaolin Women's Soccer"?

Ha ha.

Hehehe!

Feeling frustrated, Reba couldn't help but open Lu Yunzhou's WeChat account, wanting to question him fiercely: Did he foresee everything and just want to make her look like a clown?

At that moment, Dilraba typed a lot of words, but after a while, she deleted them all.

Because if she were to actually question Lu Yunzhou, she would only make herself look more like a clown.

"Sister Dai Si, how did you leave the company back then?"

For some inexplicable reason, Dilraba sent Dai Si a WeChat message, wanting to know how Dai Si so easily terminated her contract with the company.

"It's very simple."

"I brought it up with Sister Mi first, saying I wanted to leave the company. Sister Mi didn't agree, so Brother Xiao called Sister Mi. I don't know what they talked about."

"Anyway, the next day, Sister Mi told me to terminate the contract. She said she wouldn't charge me a termination fee. However, she still hasn't paid me that money."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

39

Anyway, I'm very happy now.

Dai Si didn't hide anything and briefly explained to Dilraba about how he terminated his contract with the company.

After saying that, Dai Si seemed to realize something, and his tone became slightly sarcastic: "What's wrong? Our big star, feeling the pain of meeting the wrong person, huh?"

"Back when I was at Jiahang Media, you beat me, and I was a little resentful. But now, I'm actually grateful to you. You're the one who helped me find a real life and a real job."

At this point, Dai chuckled: "Dilraba, do you often feel like you've lost everything, and the only meaning of your life is to be a slave to the company, fighting for a top position? To prove that your life isn't a joke?"

"I think you should seriously consider who you're really living for?"

After saying that, Dai Si asked again, as if to kill him, "Are you going back to your hometown for the Spring Festival this year?"

Dai Si goes back every year anyway.

The main problem is that everyone else is on holiday, and she has nowhere to go. What else can she do besides go home? Moreover, to avoid not being able to get a ticket, Lu Yunzhou will most likely remind her to go home early so that she can avoid the peak travel season.

"I can't be sure about that either. We'll see when the time comes."

97

This time, Dilraba could no longer deny it.

Because she really missed home.

She even began to envy Dai Si. Although she wasn't as popular as Dai Si, she seemed happy at her new company and didn't have to worry about being sidelined because she couldn't compete with others.

If there's work to do, I'll do it; if there's no work, I'll go to one of LB Group's flagship stores, help out, and attract some customers—that's my contribution to the company.

Lu Yunzhou couldn't possibly treat them unfairly.

On the contrary—at Jiahang Media, Dilraba had to calculate every day how much money the company had made from her and whether she could negotiate for some more benefits.

Should I look for an opportunity to switch jobs?

Spending all day calculating these things, you're like a tightly wound spring; how can you be in a good mood? Where do you find the energy to work on your acting?

They've focused all their energy on internal strife.
