Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 157: The plot takes a dramatic turn! The ship's mother gets too caught up in the drama and starts teaching her daughter! Tangtang takes over Jiahang! Empress Hu arrives!

After the 10th episode of "Queen of Tears" aired, all the character development had been fully presented to the audience.

Although this is a TV series, Lu Yunzhou is not very familiar with the pacing of TV series and arranged it entirely according to the three-act structure of a movie.

The first 10 episodes establish the relationships between the characters!

The middle 20 episodes develop the conflicts and contradictions between the characters!

The final 10 episodes will resolve all the foreshadowing from earlier episodes!

Therefore, episode 10 is a key turning point, presenting viewers with a wealth of information and making them aware of the complex relationship between the male and female protagonists.

The next night, I watched episode 11 on the first try.

The daily active users of iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video have skyrocketed!

-

Thanks to the show, the number of members on the three platforms surged by more than 10 million in the third quarter!

Many people were originally die-hard users of free TV channels.

However, because the show has gone viral online and generated various discussions on social media, many people are itching to watch it.

The TV station is updating at a snail's pace; they've only released up to episode 7.

On online platforms, the male protagonist has become the protagonist's savior—how can the audience tolerate this?

I have to see it first!

I'm going to buy a membership! I'm going to buy a membership like crazy!

Episode 11.

This follows immediately after episode 10.

The male and female protagonists talked about a shipwreck that happened more than ten years ago.

The male protagonist, as one of the parties involved, vaguely remembers the incident and feels that it did not happen naturally.

It's more likely caused by human intervention.

However, after so many years, the identity of the male lead is still uncertain.

On the contrary, the female protagonist, upon learning that the male protagonist had also been there, took the matter to heart—she subtly inquired about it at home.

News came quickly.

Sun Yanzi, who plays the older sister, says in a carefree manner, "Our Zhiyuan has always been a boy with an overflowing sense of justice. When he was in middle school, he even saved a girl who had fallen into the water. He became a little hero in our surrounding villages."

"The place where we fell into the water was not far from the beach we went to."

"However, that girl's family was really rude; they didn't even come to thank us. We don't care about their apologies, but how can people act like that?"

The older sister muttered to herself, clearly still bothered by the matter.

Hong Ziyi suddenly paused, stunned: "So it was him—"

A strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Bai Zhiyuan's window.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhiyuan was still fast asleep in his room.

The camera pans over.

Sun Yanzi, who plays the older sister, suddenly sighed and continued, "But thinking about it carefully, I can understand. I heard that their son died, so they probably didn't have time to care about him then."

At this point, the older sister suddenly said mysteriously, "I heard from people afterwards that there were some strange things about that shipwreck."

Strange?

Hong Ziyi frowned slightly and looked carefully at her sister: "Sister, could you tell me more specifically?"

Sun Yanzi said nonchalantly, "How could it be difficult to go out to sea while wearing a swimming ring? Besides, there are two of them at once. They're siblings from the same family. The probability is even lower than hitting a shark."

Hong Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Are there any sharks here?"

Sun Yanzi burst into laughter: "I've lived here for 40 years and I've never seen a shark, but I have seen giant octopuses."

My sister had almost finished tidying up and was getting ready to go back to her room when she smiled at Hong Ziyi: "I just got some fresh seafood at noon. I'll make fish cakes for you tonight. You're in for a treat."

"Thank you for your help, sister."

Hong Ziyi said something politely, then turned around, her eyes darkening.

The shipwreck back then seemed to be more complicated than it appeared.

Someone killed her older brother and almost killed her too!

who is it?

She's determined to find that person!

She learned that her savior was none other than her husband.

From that moment on, Hong Ziyi's attitude towards Bai Zhiyuan underwent a tremendous change.

During the meal, Hong Ziyi would steal glances at Bai Zhiyuan from time to time.

"Ziyi, your favorite fish cakes."

During the meal, the older sister first put a fish cake on Hong Ziyi's plate.

Hong Ziyi said thank you, but instead of immediately bowing her head to eat, she looked around the table and found braised baby octopus.

Under the watchful eyes of her family, she picked up a braised baby octopus and placed it in Bai Zhiyuan's bowl.

Bai Zhiyuan also looked up in a daze.

Hong Ziyi said with a hint of shyness, "It's your favorite food. You've had a hard time these past two days."

"oh."

Bai Zhiyuan didn't think much of it, feeling that he had indeed worked very hard.

Hong Ziyi went missing yesterday, and he searched for her all night.

"hey-hey."

"Now that's more like a married couple."

Seeing that the couple seemed to be making up, the whole family secretly drifted around to each other, their mouths agape as they ate their meals, smiles playing on their lips.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

After dinner, back in his room, Bai Zhiyuan felt increasingly uneasy. He muttered to himself, "No. This isn't right. I'm getting a divorce. How can I waver? She's acting. I can't fall for it again."

Just then, Hong Ziyi gently knocked on the door and softly asked, "Would you like some freshly cut mango?"

"I...I don't like mangoes."

After leaving a message, Bai Zhiyuan seemed guilty and hurriedly ran out the door.

"Don't you like mangoes?"

Hong Ziyi stood there, stunned, and began to recall.

The footage included numerous flashbacks.

In their past life and work, Hong Ziyi would eat some dried mangoes, and Bai Zhiyuan would always stare at these dried mangoes.

Hong Ziyi would ask from time to time, "Do you want it?"

Bai Zhiyuan would always shake his head decisively: "No, thank you."

There were three such flashbacks.

Hong Ziyi came to her senses and gently shook her head: "So, he wasn't just being polite. He really doesn't like mangoes."

After realizing this, Hong Ziyi kept repeating in the room, "She likes to eat braised baby octopus, but doesn't like mangoes—"

Although, in terms of cinematic language, this scene appears very heartwarming.

If you're just a casual viewer, you might find the emotional transitions here very smooth and natural.

This gave them hope for the future.

However, Lu Yunzhou's fans are a crucial part of the show's core audience, and they do not accept this change.

"It's fun to mistreat your husband for a while, but chasing him back will be a nightmare!"

"After so many years of marriage, she doesn't even know what her husband likes to eat or doesn't like to eat—is this what you call a wife?"

""

"Let's get a divorce already!"

"I'll take over Lu Yunzhou!"

"I also like braised baby octopus, but I don't like mangoes because I'm allergic to them—Lu Yunzhou and I are a perfect match!"

"We beg the King of Chu to spare our Zhouzhou!"

"You're not fit to be her wife!"

From the very first episode of this drama, a bunch of people have been calling for Lu Yunzhou to get a divorce.

But this is an idol drama, how could they really get divorced?

These fans are certainly aware of this as well.

But why do they still do this?

It's because these fans heard some rumors—they suspected that Wang Churan was the real sister-in-law.

Therefore, when they complained in the show and urged the two to divorce, they were actually implying that Lu Yunzhou should break up with Wang Ran as soon as possible.

Wang is not worthy!

The story continues.

Bai Zhi left his home and wandered around the village, eventually arriving at the home of a relative.

The distance wasn't explained in detail, but judging from the name and the relationship between the two, the audience should be able to guess that this is probably one of the male protagonist's cousins.

"Zhiyuan, it's been so long! When did you get back? Want to come over for a drink? I still have some fresh dried squid here."

-

At his cousin's invitation, Bai Zhiyuan went inside and started drinking with him.

Before long, he was slightly tipsy.

"Brother Zhixue, there's something I've always wanted to ask you. Why don't you get married?"

This cousin is the eldest in the Bai family generation. He is over 40 years old but has never married and is a well-known bachelor in the village.

Although he was a bachelor, he lived a life of luxury.

He lived alone in a small Western-style house in the village.

The yard is filled with flowers and plants, and there are two small dogs, making the whole house like a paradise.

There are so many seafood snacks at home that we can't possibly finish them all.

"What's the benefit of marriage? Just having another person means having more troubles."

This man, like an enlightened monk, spoke eloquently.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Zhiyuan, "I've been storing bayberry wine for eight years, would you like some?"

Wow! You're in for a treat!

He looked like a child showing off his amazing toy, his face full of childlike innocence.

"Wait here, I'll go get it!"

The man left in high spirits, leaving Bai Zhiyuan alone in the courtyard, under the grapevines, where he drank a few cups of wine by himself.

The moonlight was slightly cool.

Bai Zhiyuan's feelings were also complicated. He poured himself a drink and muttered to himself, "I have confidence. No matter what happens to Hong Ziyi, I can pretend I don't care."

"Because I no longer love her."

"not at all."

"The me who took a bullet for her, I died three years ago. I died from her indifference, arrogance, domineering nature, and coldness!"

"I hate her, I even despise her a little — don't think about it too much, just get through these last few months."

"As a husband, I have fulfilled my duties, and that is the end of it."

2

"Just hang in there for a few more months—it's that simple, right?"

"Keep going, Bai Zhiyuan! Perseverance leads to victory!"

"You are about to regain your freedom—"

"Ha ha."

Bai Zhiyuan was already slightly drunk, and he forced a happy laugh.

Just then, Hong Ziyi, outside the courtyard in a corner, overheard these words—

"I----"

She paused for a moment, then lowered her head in disappointment, turned around and went home without saying a word in rebuttal.

Next shot.

Hong Ziyi pushed open the door to her room, quietly closed it, and came back panting, clearly having run back.

She didn't want Bai Zhiyuan to know that she had overheard these things.

The camera cuts back to Bai Zhiyuan.

He gazed at the bright moon in the sky, desolate and lonely. So many years have passed, the world has changed, yet the moon remains the same.

.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed softly, "But, how strange—I just can't bring myself to do it."

"Bai Zhiyuan, you piece of trash."

"What are you still expecting? Stop deluding yourself, okay?"

He tilted his head back slightly, his eyes slowly closed, and two clear tears slid down his cheeks.

at the same time.

Back in her room, Hong Ziyi asked herself softly, "Since when did we start drifting apart?"

Flashback.

It was given two years ago.

When Bai Zhiyuan came home from get off work, he saw the nanny and maid tidying up a baby's room that he had prepared. He went up to them and asked, "What are you doing?"

The maid replied, "Miss said to move all the things out."

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and went to look for Hong Ziyi, who was on the phone with someone, and it seemed to be quite important.

She put down the phone and looked at Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan then spoke up: "Why are you moving your things?"

Hong Ziyi said very seriously, "Is there any need to keep it?"

After she finished speaking, she continued making the call, her expression so cold it was almost inhuman.

Bai Zhiyuan returned to that room and said to the servants, "Move everything to my room. Don't take a single thing out."

Then he dismissed the servant.

A person lies on that small bed, looking at the ceiling, which displays stars and the moon, along with some fairytale-like rotating light and shadow.

Clearly, this is what he's planning for his future children.

At that moment, lying in bed, looking at the stars and moon in the sky, and the fairytale castle-like light and shadow, he suddenly covered his face and cried.

The camera pans outwards.

-

After finishing her phone call, Hong Ziyi squatted on the ground, looking disheveled and vulnerable, her eyes slightly red. She glanced back at the window of the small room.

After a while, Hong Ziyi wiped away her tears and returned to her room.

She produced an ultrasound report showing that she had been pregnant.

But now, she took a deep breath, her hands trembling, and prepared to tear up the ultrasound report.

Given the previous plot developments, viewers already understand that she probably lost her child.

At this moment, tears slowly slid down Hong Ziyi's cheeks.

But she quickly calmed down and muttered to herself, "You have no right to be sad here. Shedding tears is the most pointless thing!"

The two had almost mended their relationship because of what happened last night.

As a result, the plot of episode 11 dealt another heavy blow to the audience.

It turns out that the rift between the two was more than just a small one.

Two years ago, after the couple lost their baby, they started sleeping in separate rooms, and their marital relationship had long since come to an end.

The two of them reverted to their cold indifference.

After staying at home for a few days, I returned to Italy and to the Queen's Castle.

Zhang Ruoyun plays the main antagonist, Hong Ziyi's former college senior, who appears at her home and treats her with utmost tenderness and care, seemingly trying to steal her away from Bai Zhiyuan right in front of him.

"Do you think I'd be jealous? I'm just waiting to be free."

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan stood in the rain, smiled contemptuously, and insincerely showed his ruthless nature.

Back in her room, Hong Ziyi closed the door and gave a disgruntled snort: "That wretched guy, isn't he even a little bit jealous? Not even a bit!"

Meanwhile, Zhang Ruoyun, who plays the villain Yin Sheng, is sitting in the downstairs living room drinking tea, while Yin Sheng is drinking coffee by himself.

However, a flashback scene gave the male villain an explanation.

It turns out that he had secretly dug a huge pit, intending to drag the female lead's Queen Group down with her, ultimately causing it to become insolvent, so that he could acquire Queen Group's shares at a low price.

Episode 11 has ended.

Immediately afterwards, episode 12 will begin airing.

After all, it's a TV series, so it's impossible not to add filler. The first 10 episodes are very fast-paced, and each episode is sweeter than the last.

Starting from episode 11, the conflict erupts, and the plot enters a state of being both sweet and heartbreaking.

Anyway, netizens have already subscribed.

Even if you watch episode 11 and then leave, you still won't get a refund for this month's membership fee.

Although episodes 11 and 12 were a bit padded, the plot is still moving towards the finale—viewers already know that the main villain is the character played by Zhang Ruoyun.

Starting from episode 12, the scheming second male lead, played by Zhang Ruoyun, takes up a significant portion of the plot and introduces various business projects of the Queen Group.

Meanwhile, the focus of the male and female protagonists gradually shifts from their emotional connection to the battle to protect their family's assets.

However, these episodes weren't without their highlights.

The plot here directly introduces the acquisition battle of [Karei], as well as the real-life stories of [Karei] versus [Dulbanna] during Milan Fashion Week.

This is a real business battle.

Most other TV dramas are basically made up—but this drama, because it has real-life examples, makes the audience very curious.

As a result, viewership ratings steadily increased.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone is very interested in this real-life transnational business battle!

And after the 12 episodes finished airing.

Netizens finally have a complete understanding of this drama.

"I don't know why, but every time I see Wang Ciran cry, I want to cheer loudly. I glanced at the comments, and everyone was frantically typing 'Serves her right'."

"But every time I see Zhouzhou cry, my heart aches, and I wish I could kill Wang Churan."

"Why do you think this is happening?"

-

In the drama "Queen of Tears," the male and female leads cry from beginning to end.

The crying scenes of the male and female leads were brought up by netizens and commented on from all angles.

"In the first episode, I saw Zhou Zhou drunkenly complaining about himself. He said that when he cried, he looked like a broken ice beauty, even more handsome than usual. I thought it was a funny scene."

"After watching episode 12, I counted, and Zhouzhou cried a total of 29 times. Every time he shed a tear, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken."

"After thinking about it carefully, I realized it's entirely because if such an outstanding boy appeared in my life, I would absolutely not be able to bear seeing him shed a single tear."

"If I had even the slightest chance, I would kill Wang Cheran immediately, steal her husband, and then hug Zhouzhou tightly to my chest!"

"I'm speechless—the screenwriter is showering us with sweet moments while simultaneously torturing us, Zhou Zhou!"

"Those lousy screenwriters knew exactly what we were doing: we couldn't bear to see Zhouzhou suffer, and we'd all be cheering him on like crazy, waiting for him to turn the tables and become the master!"

"Those damn writers guessed right! I absolutely have to watch this show to the end!"

"I must see Wang Chiran die of a terminal illness!"

Because he was abused in the drama, abused by his wife, abused by his love rival, and wronged by the Hong family—while off-screen, his fans gave him tremendous compensation.

Although Lu Yunzhou has never appeared in public, he is constantly trending on Weibo due to the popularity of the TV series.

His name is all over the Weibo super topic square.

Because his character in this drama is just too good!

Whenever a good person is wronged or misunderstood in the drama, fans will give Lu Yunzhou tremendous support in real life and keep sending him warmth.

"Mom, why do you see me like that?"

After recording a variety show in Hangzhou, Wang Ran went straight back to her home in Shanghai.

After obtaining Lu Yunzhou's consent, she took her mother to the luxury mansion in Huangpu Bay so that her mother could also enjoy the good life with her.

Stay in a 6000 million yuan mansion.

As a result, after only a few days of moving in, Wang Ran realized that the way his mother looked at him was becoming increasingly strange.

It was filled with disdain.

-

"Were you really born from me?"

"How could I have such a blind daughter like you?"

"Zhiyuan is so wonderful—if you could find me a son-in-law like him in real life, I'd go to the temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha for you every day!"

Lu Yunzhou is quite good, but he's definitely not as good as Bai Zhiyuan in the TV series.

Wang Churan's mother is addicted to shipping couples.

"Mom, I'm begging you, please let me go?"

"I get cyberbullied by hundreds of thousands of people online every day. I finally manage to disconnect from the internet, and I even smash my phone in frustration. And then I get home and you still say this to me?"

Wang Churan was completely convinced.

She knew that she would be criticized when the show was released.

However, black and red are still red.

At least, she became famous!

Riding on Lu Yunzhou's popularity, they're taking off!

Now everyone on the internet knows that she is Lu Yunzhou's wicked wife.

A lot of people online are clamoring and jokingly saying they want to form a suicide squad and find an opportunity to assassinate her.

"Look at you, I said a few words to you, and instead of accepting them humbly, you dare to bare your teeth at me? I'm your mother, and you dare to treat me like this."

"It's easy to imagine how you treated Zhiyuan when I wasn't home!"

"I must break this habit!"

"Before Zhiyuan returns to China, I need to teach you a lesson, you good-for-nothing arrogant little CEO!"

After watching the show, other people could only criticize Wang Churan online.

After watching the show, Wang Churan's mother was able to personally make up for the lingering regrets she felt after watching it.

My daughter, Wang Ran, could never become like that.

If it is—I will change her back!

"Daughter, if you get pregnant, remember this: you must stop all work immediately and call me. As long as I'm still on this earth, I'll fly over right away to take care of you and help you keep this baby."

"Having a child will keep a man's heart."

After watching all 12 episodes, Wang Churan's mother realized that the reason the couple had become estranged was because they lost their child.

The couple lost the baby and started sleeping in separate rooms.

They slept in separate rooms and stopped communicating, becoming like strangers, drifting further and further apart.

People are inherently independent; if there is no bond connecting them, they will naturally drift further and further apart.

As someone who has been through it all, Wang Ran's mother has a lot to say about this.

"Mom, what are you saying? I beg you, please don't get too immersed in the show."

Wang Churan was speechless; her mother regarded her as an utterly wicked woman.

This is all Lu Yunzhou's fault.

She created such a great persona for herself, but that queen persona she created is just so annoying.

However, being able to be disliked is also a skill.

Wang Ran was afraid that after the performance, the audience would have no impression of her at all.

Being able to play a hateful character, like Rong Momo, is enough to leave a lasting impression on the audience for 20 years.

This is absolutely proof of her acting skills.

"By the way—Zhiyuan really loves braised baby octopus, but doesn't like mango?"

"Then what are you standing there for?"

"Today, Mom will teach you how to make braised baby octopus!"

Wang Churan's mother completely fell in love with the character played by Lu Yunzhou.

In the drama, the Hong family treated Lu Yunzhou terribly.

However, off-screen, she is Lu Yunzhou's mother-in-law, and she has to treat her son-in-law well.

Montreal.

Lu Yunzhou came home from get off work.

"Brother, today we have your favorite dish—braised baby octopus!"

Zhang Ruonan and Tian Xiwei also watched the show together.

Wang Ran is really wicked. The Hong family is really wicked too.

If all wealthy families are like that, they all support Lu Yunzhou's divorce and want him to leave Wang Ran.

"This tastes...did Oda make it?"

Zhang Ruonan was pregnant after all. Although she could cook and do some light work, her family would definitely not let her cook easily, lest she bump into something.

Moreover, this doesn't seem like the traditional Wenzhou approach.

After taking a few bites, Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Tian Xiwei, who was standing next to him, looking for praise.

Zhang Ruonan laughed and said, "How does it taste? Xiaotian spent the whole afternoon learning, and she almost burned the pot."

"It's delicious."

Lu Yunzhou laughed and pinched Tian Xiwei's cheek: "Thank you, Xiao Tian. You're like my fairy godmother, always bringing me little surprises."

"whee."

Hearing Lu Yunzhou's praise, Tian Xiwei was also very happy, and the family enjoyed their meal together.

Braised baby octopus?

The taste was just so-so.

Later, Tian Xiwei will have to let Lu Yunzhou know that braised baby snails are even tastier.

"Brother, this month, Kiko has opened more than 20 offline flagship stores."

"Thanks to the popularity of the TV series 'Queen of Tears,' Xiaomeng's tireless offline promotional activities, and Sister Ji's constant stream of press releases, our brand experienced a surge in both online and offline sales."

"We have won this battle."

Not long after finishing their meal, Zhang Ruonan told Lu Yunzhou about Kiko Beauty, which was their most important task at the moment.

For example, Kou Rui and LDC Jewelry are already featured in the TV series, so there's no need for them to promote the products.

As long as the TV series is still airing, it will have huge exposure, and the number of searches and purchases will continue to rise.

However, the repurchase rate for high-end clothing is very low.

Because the higher the price, the less customers like to wear the same clothes as others; they only want to follow the latest styles.

-

In addition, clothing is being updated and replaced at an extremely fast pace.

The sub-brand Kou Ruiyiren produces 20 new clothing items every month—otherwise, it cannot keep up with the ever-changing needs of its customers.

Because the pace of technological advancement is so rapid, even the biggest brands of footwear and apparel can easily become obsolete.

Relatively speaking, women's shoes are better.

Because there aren't many companies on the market that specialize in women's shoes.

Among domestic brands, Daphne is relatively well-known.

Many women's shoe companies simply use men's shoe molds, making minor modifications, but they don't conform to the ergonomics of women's feet.

Kou Rui's women's shoes focus on human body science and use a lot of high-tech materials.

They published many promotional materials, telling customers how unique their shoes were, and that they had already established brand awareness.

Relatively speaking, the repurchase rate will be better.

However, the business model for products like shoes and hats is ultimately not as good as that for products like cosmetics.

A single successful beauty product can generate billions in sales annually. Moreover, the formula won't need to be changed for decades to come.

This is the best business model!

In another timeline, after several years of operation, the global sales of the Kiko brand would exceed 10 billion euros.

With Lu Yunzhou's continuous promotion of the product, he hopes that the brand's global sales will reach at least 20 billion euros.

At that time, based on a net profit margin of 20%, it will be 4 million euros.

If this company goes public and is given a fair valuation of 30 times PE, that would be a market value of 120 billion euros!

Nearly 1000 billion RMB!

If Yang Mi knew this news, she'd probably be laughing her head off.

Because she owns 4% of the shares, which is nearly 40 billion!

Jiahang Media.

Tang Yan temporarily put aside her work on "The Untamed" and went with Ji Rujing to receive the surrendered generals from Jiahang Media.

"Welcome, Mr. Tang, to our company for guidance!"

Early in the morning, all the middle and senior managers of Jiahang Media, along with celebrities who weren't too busy, gathered downstairs at the company to welcome Tang Yan.

"Sister Dai Si, please take good care of me in the future."

Dai Si, a former general of Jiahang, also came today, following behind Tang Yan.

Originally, Dai Si didn't want to come because of her personality, but Tang Yan insisted on inviting her.

How many times in a lifetime can one have the opportunity to "return home in glory" and stand tall before their former employer?

If Dai Si doesn't come, Tang Yan is absolutely certain that Dai Si will regret it for the rest of his life!

"Sister, something feels off. Shouldn't they hate us? Why are they being so obsequious?"

Dai Si felt a little uncomfortable with the flattery and praise from his former colleagues at Jiahang.

She thought these people would get angry and give them a hard time.

"Hate us? How could that be?"

Tang Yan laughed and pulled Dai Si aside, saying, "I had the same idea at first. However, Yun Zhou told me a principle: when we can't resolve internal conflicts under the current conditions, we should propose a larger project with more benefits, which will definitely unite everyone's hearts."

After chuckling a few times, Tang Yan asked Dai Si in a low voice, "Guess why I came at this time?"

"I have no idea."

Dai Si has been quite busy lately.

She poached Nazha's boyfriend and got the lead role in "Storm Dance"—because this lead role required action scenes.

Although Nazha is quite beautiful, she didn't want to film action scenes and suggested finding a stunt double. Dai Si didn't mind; she just wanted to film action scenes.

After careful consideration, the project team selected Dai Si.

Although Dai Si is not as beautiful as Gulnazar, she is the female lead in "Wolf Warrior 2," a film that grossed 56 billion yuan. Her status is much higher than Gulnazar's, and her acting skills are also better.

"Xiao Dai, even if you don't know, you can still make things up, and I won't laugh at you. You're too honest, girl."

Tang Yan actually quite likes Dai Si.

She doesn't like Gulnazar; she thinks she's a vixen.

She also dislikes Dilraba Dilmurat; she finds her appearance annoying.

However, as soon as she saw Dai Si, she felt that he was an honest man who would not lie to her, betray her, or steal her boyfriend.

She's willing to mentor a girl like that.

Just like Chen Yuqi—when Tang Yan first saw Chen Yuqi, she felt that Chen Yuqi was an honest person who would not go astray.

really!

Even now, Chen Yuqi remains steadfast in her stance, avoiding coming to the company unless absolutely necessary, lest she be tempted by temptation and be unable to resist becoming Lu Yunzhou's concubine!

"Sister, you're making fun of me again."

Dai Si thought to himself, "If I liked to talk nonsense all day long, would I still have a place in this company? It's precisely because I'm honest and reliable that you like me!"

Tang Yan chuckled: "Xiao Dai, let me tell you. KIKO is a hit, an instant success! Sales are better than we expected! They've completely broken into the Chinese market!"

"My best friend is probably ecstatic!"

"The other shareholders are all thinking right now, could they just give us Jiahang in exchange for Kiko's shares!"

"They're dreaming!"

"However, as long as they have dreams to pursue, they have to be subservient to us and ask for our help."

When will Jiahang's group's pipe dream be shattered, and then everyone will turn against each other?

But not now, at least not yet.

After the beauty products were developed, Lu Yunzhou became a true fashion mogul in China.

After all, there are only a handful of luxury brand ambassadors.

However, there are too many beauty product lines —

□Red cream, face cream, face mask, skincare products — every product line, every best-selling item can find a spokesperson!

If this brand succeeds, Lu Yunzhou can capture all the top female celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry and become their supreme ruler.

There are even extra seats available!

Estée Lauder has about 20 global brand ambassadors, all of whom are top female celebrities or top models from various countries.

If Kiko becomes the Estée Lauder of China, they'll be able to do whatever they want!

"Xiao Dai, there are so many people, I can't recognize them all. Could you please introduce them to me?"

Faced with the flattery and praise of a large group of people, Tang Yan remained unconcerned and nodded slightly to Dai Si.

She will not keep this glory to herself.

After all, she was already quite proud of herself when Yang Mi and Dilraba came to beg her a few days ago!

Now, let Dai Si have some fun too!

Shenzhen.

"Mom, I got my acceptance letter!"

"I'm the top student in the entire country for acting at the Shanghai Theatre Academy!"

Today is Friday, and there are no new episodes of "Queen of Tears." There are only 12 episodes in total.

Because the TV station doesn't update the episodes, the online platform also doesn't update them, resulting in an episode that airs four episodes ahead of the TV broadcast.

Hu Lianxin didn't know how she got through those three days.

However, in the afternoon, Hu Lianxin suddenly received a phone call saying that there was a registered letter that needed to be delivered to her home.

She knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.

After receiving her admission notice, Hu Lianxin went online to research information—many training institutions compile the results and rankings of these performance classes.

She's number one in the whole country!

"My darling daughter, you're amazing!"

"What gift do you want? Mom will buy it for you!"

"How about I get you a set of Cora Haute Couture? You might need it for the freshman welcome party! Also, how about I get you a set from LDC's new Starship series?"

Rich people are just different.

Hu Lianxin's mother spent at least 10 yuan as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Mom, instead of this, I want to go to Canada for a few days. I've already made plans with some classmates."

Hu Lianxin looked at her computer screen and saw the address of the [Swan Man] visual effects studio that someone had sent her.

It's easy to find.

Right in Montreal, right next to the Ubisoft games store, there's a small red brick building, about five or six stories high.

There is also a domed church diagonally opposite.

If you can't find such a clear goal, how low would your IQ be?

"Daughter, I know what you're thinking."

"Fine then—"

"Mom will go with you."

Hu Lianxin's mother knew very well what her daughter had been thinking lately, spending all her time checking Montreal's road traffic online.

Find the address of Lu Yunzhou's "Swan Man Studio".

Hu Lianxin even made a friend online, a graphic artist from the Montreal Swan Studio.

Her daughter is clearly going to go offline to meet her idol.

Mom thought to herself, "Since I'm free anyway, I might as well treat this as a trip."

"Mom, are you coming too? Isn't that a bit inconvenient?"

The mother felt that she had been very understanding; if her daughter wanted to follow her idol, she would accompany her.

To everyone's surprise, Hu Lianxin hesitated and didn't want to go with her.

What exactly is this brat trying to do?

"Inconvenient? Heh."

The mother gave a few cold laughs, found herself speechless, and turned to leave.

After her mother left, Hu Lianxin took out her phone and chatted with a few friends she had arranged to meet.

[Zhang Changshi]: "Xiao Hu, have you booked your plane ticket yet?"

【Queen of Congee - Nine-Tailed Beard】: "No. My mom said she wants to come too. How can I agree to that? We're going to have congee, what would it look like if I brought my mom along?"

Hu Lianxin's name, when pronounced quickly, sounds just like a fox spirit.

Who was the famous fox spirit queen in history?

Daji, the queen of King Zhou of Shang!

Hu Lianxin felt that she was the one destined by heaven to become the Empress of Congee!

[Zhao Changshi]: "My mother knew what I wanted to do, and she said she also wanted to go see Zhouzhou. I agreed without hesitation. You are still not filial enough."

-

Impressed!

Can you bring your mom along when you go out for porridge?

What a group of filial daughters!

Hu Lianxin felt that she had nothing to say to the two of them.

Moreover, these two are so unreliable in their words and actions that it's clear they can't keep a secret.

She was different; she was about to go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy, then become a big star, and eventually become an empress.

How could someone have such a dark history?

She quietly left the group chat and messaged Lu Yunzhou privately on WeChat: "Brother, Xiao Hezi won the provincial martial arts gold medal last time, and you sent her an invitation to encourage her to keep up the good work. Just now, my acceptance letter came in; I got first place nationwide in the Shanghai Theatre Academy's acting class. Are there any rewards?"

"Number one in the country?"

Lu Yunzhou hadn't expected that Hu Lianxin was quite capable.

Getting the top score in the country at the Shanghai Theatre Academy isn't easy; at least, your academic scores are already very close to the undergraduate admission score.

When Tian Xiwei enrolled in the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she was only ranked second in the country!

"Xiao Hu, I'm going back to China next week."

Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "At the internal screening at the end of next month, I'll give you a classic khaki Borsalino hat as a souvenir. What do you think?"

This classic hat is simply unavailable on the market.

But Lu Yunzhou is the boss behind Borsalino, so having a few hats custom-made by hand is just a matter of a word for him.

But Lu Yunzhou had no idea what that hat represented in the eyes of his fans.

"The Empress's Crown!"

At this moment, Hu Lianxin was overjoyed: "Zhouzhou promised me an empress's crown! Is he hinting at something?"

"It must be!"

"The King of Chu is tyrannical; I must strive to correct him!"
