Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 193: "Fairy Castle 2" Box Office Surpasses 10 Billion US Dollars! New Talent Arrives!

February 10nd, morning.

Online voting for the Golden Eagle Award's "Most Popular Actress" is in full swing.

Before 11 a.m., Dilraba and Yang Xiaozhi's votes were rising alternately, with the two taking the lead almost every 10 minutes.

Their respective fans were thrilled.

In order to help their favorite actress win this big prize, many big fans rallied their online friends in countless groups to vote for their favorite actress and make sure she was outmatched!

However, after 11 o'clock, it was as if Dilraba's side had suddenly run out of bullets, and the rate of increase in votes suddenly slowed down.

It was as if they were about to surrender.

While Dilraba's side was short of firepower, Yang Xiaozhi's votes suddenly surged ahead of everyone else.

In less than half an hour, she had surpassed Dilraba by more than 100 million votes!

"We won!"

"As long as the official support doesn't intervene and the backend doesn't change the data—our Sister Zi is guaranteed to win!"

"However, please continue to vote!"

"Never take any chances until the very last moment!"

Yang Xiaozhi's fans were incredibly excited to see her lead widening.

Being able to help Yang Xiaozhi trample Dilraba underfoot was the most satisfying battle they had ever fought. It was something they could brag about for a whole semester.

Even if Yang Xiaozhi is past her prime, they can still boast in other fan groups that they helped Yang Xiaozhi take down Dilraba back then.

It is estimated that it will inspire the worship of countless newcomers.

Just think about it!

The Golden Eagle Awards last for three days.

Yesterday was the opening ceremony.

An industry seminar was scheduled for today.

Yang Xiaozhi had just attended an industry discussion that morning, mainly listening to industry leaders discuss with each other—Lu Yunzhou was also among the participants.

Yang Xiaozhi and Lu Yunzhou were not very familiar with each other.

However, she filmed "Ashes of Love" with Chen Yuqi.

Because she knew Chen Yuqi's identity, the two got along well during filming.

really.

Lu Yunzhou treated her well during the Golden Eagle Awards.

The morning meeting had just ended, and Yang Xiaozhi returned to the hotel. Before she could even have breakfast, her agent informed her that she had taken a commanding lead in the online voting, far ahead of the competition.

Something's not right.

Yang Xiaozhi instinctively sensed a dangerous atmosphere and turned to ask her agent, "Why did Dilraba give up? She's not the kind of person who gives up easily."

"I don't know."

The agent slowly shook his head, his expression also showing some confusion.

Yang Xiaozhi's current management contract is still held by H&R Century Pictures.

Her agent's name is Qin Fei. He helped Yang Xiaozhi manage the production of "Ashes of Love," which propelled Yang Xiaozhi to the position of a top-tier celebrity.

"Ashes of Love" is Yang Xiaozhi's first truly big-budget female-centric fantasy drama.

Therefore, she trusted her agent very much.

"Let's take a break. I don't think things are that simple."

How many votes can you get by relying on netizens to cast their votes?

They are all organized.

Moreover, Yang Xiaozhi spent a lot of money to cast 1000 million votes in one night.

But now, she hesitated.

Should this vote-rigging battle continue?

Normally, Dilraba should have been exchanging boosts with her—but in the end, Dilraba's manager couldn't take it anymore and asked Hunan TV to intervene and adjust the data in the backend.

Delete her votes.

Let's boost Dilraba's votes.

Dilraba won this vote-rigging competition through such unfair means. The entire internet will feel sorry for her; even if they didn't win against Dilraba, they still deserve respect.

After all, Dilraba was officially chosen, and she has someone protecting her.

She was elected by the people, representing the love of netizens.

But what's going on now—Dilraba suddenly stopped posting and withdrew from the battle?

What's the point of her doing it all by herself?

"Okay. I'll have someone stop."

The agent also sensed that something was wrong and quickly sent some messages in the group chat.

After a short while, the increase in Yang Xiaozhi's online votes slowed down.

It seemed that within a minute, those netizens who voted suddenly remembered that they had to go to work or school, or that something had suddenly happened at home.

In short, these people lost their internet connection almost instantly.

But it seems a little too late.

Because Yang Xiaozhi has already surpassed Dilraba by more than 500 million votes!

This data is outrageous.

After getting people to stop the vote-buying activity, the agent then indirectly contacted a staff member at Hunan TV to inquire about the situation.

Has Dilraba requested Hunan TV to help modify the data?

Did Dilraba's agent vehemently criticize Hunan TV for data manipulation and accuse Yang Xiaozhi's team of vote rigging?

"no."

"They haven't made any demands since last night."

"Our leader was still a bit uneasy this morning, so he specifically went to see Director Lu to inquire about Dilraba's voting situation."

Mr. Lu said, "Just vote normally, follow the rules."

Lu Yunzhou said to follow the rules.

So, does vote rigging count too?

These days, who doesn't try to win awards? It's a common occurrence.

Anyway, Yang Xiaozhi and Dilraba both posted, so neither of them can say the other is innocent.

Now, Dilraba has official support, yet she still can't beat Yang Xiaozhi. Is that logical?

It's likely that Lu Yunzhou gave instructions, which is why Dilraba swallowed her anger and didn't hold back, determined to retaliate.

But is this how Dilraba's career ended?

Did he simply hand over the trophy to Yang Xiaozhi?

real or fake?

Is she really that magnanimous?

"That's really strange."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaozhi's agent looked puzzled, plopped down on the sofa, and pondered for a long time: "This Most Popular Award is also quite significant for Dilraba. She just gave it up so easily."

"That's not like her at all."

"She appears to be indifferent to worldly affairs, but in reality, she'll fight for everything. She can be quite ruthless."

Yang Xiaozhi is Dilraba's biggest rival.

Yang Xiaozhi's agent is also the one who knows Dilraba's management team best.

What kind of person is beautiful inside and out?

That's because netizens haven't seen how Dilraba's team and Yang Xiaozhi had their feud.

They're all old rivals, ancient demons, who are they trying to fool?

Yang Xiaozhi bit her lip and remained silent.

After a long while, she suddenly sighed and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Dilraba must have gotten some extra promises from Lu Yunzhou. I guess she doesn't care about this award anymore—but that makes sense. If I had a brother like that, I wouldn't care about these small awards either."

In fact, the Golden Eagle Goddess award is the biggest award at this year's Golden Eagle Awards.

Dilraba became an instant sensation at the opening ceremony, stealing the spotlight.

She continues to win Most Popular Actress and Most Popular Actress awards—but that's just icing on the cake.

Even a single misstep can trigger a backlash from the network's traffic.

Right now, she has generously given up the other awards—in this way, Dilraba will not attract any backlash in terms of popularity, and will instead show her composure and style.

In Dilraba's room.

She held a coconut and took a small sip.

She didn't really like the taste.

I don't know why Lu Yunzhou likes to drink this.

While sipping her coconut water, Dilraba turned to her manager and asked, "Aunt Xue, how's it going? What's the reaction from my fan club members?"

The agent is checking messages in the group chat.

Dilraba's fans are furious.

They never felt they weren't working hard enough.

After all, they've already done enough data for Dilraba.

However, Yang Xiaozhi's price increase last night was clearly not due to normal voting behavior.

It was definitely done by a team.

The agent looked up at Dilraba, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Your fans are currently hurling insults at Yang Xiaozhi in the group chat, calling her uncivilized—from now on, let's not call her Yang Xiaozhi anymore, let's just call her 'Shua Zi' (meaning 'swipe purple')."

Paint it purple?

Hahahaha!

I knew it would be like this!

The Tao Te Ching says: "It is precisely because he does not contend that he is without fault!"

As long as you don't argue, you won't make a mistake.

Just imagining Yang Xiaozhi struggling desperately, gritting her teeth, makes it clear to netizens how ugly she must have looked.

I bet the silicone implants on her face are about to burst.

Thinking of this, Dilraba sneered a few times, put down the coconut in her hand, and said to her agent, "Aunt Xue, prepare the press release—let the whole internet know how ruthless she is in her pursuit of victory."

"You can't just take advantage of me like that!"

In this world, only those who make me willingly do things can take advantage of me.

Yang Xiaozhi?

Save your breath!

You took the trophy that rightfully belonged to me, and I will make you pay a hundredfold price!

"Understood, leave it to me."

The agent put down his phone and nodded slightly.

For female celebrities, every awards ceremony is basically a stage for feuds. It's just that this year they're feuding with one person, and next year they'll be feuding with another.

If all else fails, they can always direct and act in their own performance.

In short, it absolutely has to trend on social media!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

Originally, Dilraba was prepared to have a public feud with Wang Ran—just to continue the feud between Yang Mi and Tang Yan, two actresses born in 85.

This made her and Wang Ran destined to be enemies.

Netizens love watching it.

Her fans also love watching it.

After all, in the eyes of Dilraba's fans, Dilraba is Lu Yunzhou's ideal woman.

Who does Wang Ran even count for?

She's just Dilraba's body double.

Anyway, 90% of netizens can't tell the difference; Dilraba and Wang Ran are now backed by the same powerful figure.

All netizens know is that Tang Yan and Yang Mi have a grudge.

Dilraba and Wang Ran's feud continues; they definitely have grudges and will inevitably clash.

Actually, the story has been updated several times.

Although they have a grudge against each other and can't stand each other, they would never actually fight. Unless Lu Yunzhou agrees.

It doesn't matter though.

Anyway, netizens just want to enjoy the gossip and don't care at all about the capital behind her and Wang Ran, which is actually closely related and even points to one person.

Now that Yang Xiaozhi is willing to step forward, it suits Dilraba's wishes perfectly.

Let's spare Wang Ran for now and focus our attacks on Yang Xiaozhi!

Dilraba remained completely unmoved when Yang Xiaozhi was hit.

Anyway, she has no connection with Huanrui—Yang Mi, on the other hand, has a close relationship with Huanrui, as Huanrui produced "Gu Jian Qi Tan," the show that revived Yang Mi's career.

However, Yang Mi has already left Jiahang and is no longer her eldest sister.

Starting from the evening of the 13th, the nickname "Shua Zi" was mentioned sporadically on Weibo's main page.

Under the guidance of certain marketing accounts, Dilraba's fans have been bringing up the issue of Yang Xiaozi's vote-rigging in various topics related to the Golden Eagle Awards.

Some of them were genuinely furious.

Some people are simply disgusting that Yang Xiaozhi is manipulating votes.

Many people were swayed by marketing accounts and joined in the criticism of Yang Xiaozhi.

Life is so tough. What's wrong with venting your frustrations by criticizing celebrities? After all, they earn so much!

7:30 PM on the 14th.

The awards ceremony officially began.

The red carpet ceremony proceeded as scheduled, with Dilraba wearing a red gown designed for her by Dolce & Gabbana—she smiled at everyone she met, as if she were about to receive an award.

This expression made many of the actors attending the awards ceremony look strange.

"Yunzhou, you are truly magnanimous."

Cherry was the center of attention, with many people expecting her to come over and sound out Lu Yunzhou. Helpless, she could only walk over and chat with Lu Yunzhou for a few minutes.

Lu Yunzhou thought they were referring to the title of "Best Actress" and said with a smile, "Sister Cherry, you are undoubtedly deserving of the title of Best Actress at this year's Golden Eagle Awards."

Cherry paused for a moment, then slowly shook her head and whispered, "I was referring to the online voting for the Most Popular Actress award, where Yang Xiaozhi overtook Dilraba."

If Lu Yunzhou gave the word, all the votes Yang Xiaozhi had swiped would probably be confiscated by the organizers.

However, Lu Yunzhou didn't say anything.

He really played by the rules.

The rules allow vote rigging, so let's see how skilled each person is.

Dilraba can't beat Yang Xiaozhi, so she has to accept her fate.

"You mean this?"

Lu Yunzhou had heard about this matter and casually said, "Azi rigged the votes, and the whole internet knows about it. This isn't a good thing for her."

This is true.

Even Cherry knew that Yang Xiaozhi had been rigging the votes so badly that everyone else couldn't stand it anymore.

On the contrary, Dilraba, who was clearly the pre-selected most popular actress, actually kept quiet and let Yang Xiaozhi rig the votes, putting her down and suffering a lot of grievances.

Many people believe that Lu Yunzhou deliberately suppressed Dilraba, letting her know that her position was due to the company's efforts and had little to do with Dilraba personally!

This is to set a rule for Dilraba.

So, many people came to sound out the situation and see if that was really the case.

However, judging from Lu Yunzhou's tone, Cherry clearly disliked Yang Xiaozhi's vote-rigging, especially the ruthless way she did it—he was still on Dilraba's side.

This left Cherry a little confused.

All I can say is that Lu Yunzhou's tactics are beyond Cherry's comprehension.

"What a pity."

"Originally, Dilraba was expected to win three awards this year. Now it seems that the Golden Eagle Goddess title is her only honor this year."

"She won't get either the title of Best Actress or the Queen of Popularity."

"If I were her, wouldn't I be furious?"

"Dilraba just changed her boss, and her management team's strategy has changed quite a bit. Anyway, let's wait and see; every cloud has a silver lining."

Many people were whispering among themselves.

Some of these words reached Dilraba's ears.

She lowered her eyes, a bitter expression on her face, like a pitiful child who had been abandoned—every now and then, she would turn her head to look at Lu Yunzhou.

His pitiful expression, yearning for attention, was so lifelike.

This caused many of the guests present to feel a pang of sadness.

"Dilraba's life has been tough too."

"I heard that she's been treated like a beast of burden by Jiahang for the past three years. She hasn't had much rest in three years, and she got sick recently."

"With the combined achievements of 'The Flame's Daughter,' 'Sweet Dreams,' and 'Pretty Li Huizhen,' she does fall a little short of the Best Actress award. However, in terms of popularity, she undoubtedly deserves the title of 'Queen of Popularity'!"

"Yang Xiaozhi went a bit too far this time."

After people saw Dilraba's pitiful little expression, many people's opinions of her changed dramatically.

Lu Yunzhou sat in his seat, listening to the hushed discussions around him.

He was somewhat surprised.

The butterfly effect of this year's Golden Eagle Awards is even greater than he imagined.

Dilraba didn't even reach the same level of popularity as Yang Xiaozhi, and in the end, she beat Yang Xiaozhi to win the Most Popular Actress award?

At the crucial moment, she actually let up.

And so we watched as Yang Xiaozhi surged ahead, her votes far surpassing others, and climbed to the top.

Isn't this just making Yang Xiaozhi look bad?

Because the entire internet saw that Yang Xiaozhi had rigged her votes, garnering over 1000 million votes in one night, more than in the previous two weeks combined.

Yang Xiaozhi is now hanging on the flagpole, completely unable to get down.

Yang Xiaozhi must be dumbfounded right now.

Because Dilraba didn't vote with her, her overwhelming lead in votes stood out even more.

Wang Ran, standing next to Lu Yunzhou, heard many guests in the room expressing their regret for Dilraba and couldn't help but grit her teeth inwardly.

"The cunning Dilraba!"

"What a brilliant strategy of retreating to advance!"

"This move...it seems so familiar."

Wang Ran turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, feeling that this move had Lu Yunzhou's influence in terms of style.

Lu Yunzhou himself is very good at this kind of tactic of retreating to advance.

However, in the past few days, Lu Yunzhou had stayed by her side and hadn't gone out to look for Dilraba at all. Could it be that someone had given Dilraba some instructions?

who can that be?

You noob, is it you again?

You deserve to die!

The awards ceremony that day.

As expected, Lu Yunzhou won two awards, becoming a double TV King born in the 90s.

At the same time, Zhang Yi also won the Best Actor award (there are two awards for Best Actor and Best Actress), and at the age of 40, he held the Golden Eagle Award in his hands. In addition, he had already won the Magnolia Award for "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky".

Zhang Yi also successfully won two imperial titles!

The Best Actress award went to Cherry and Ding Liuyuan, both of whom deserved it!

Ding Liuyuan stars in "Begonia Still," which tells the story of Premier Zhou Enlai—it would be a miracle if this film didn't win an award.

There's nothing wrong with these awards.

There is very little controversy online.

Before the draw, apart from Uncle Xiubo's sudden collapse, which allowed Zhang Yi to get a good deal, the other three were basically recognized by netizens.

The real bombshell is coming.

Yang Xiaozhi surpassed Dilraba Dilmurat at the last minute to win the Most Popular Actress award, also known as the "Queen of Popularity" or "Best Actress" award.

When Yang Xiaozhi went on stage to receive the award, she was beaming with enthusiasm and had a radiant smile.

In contrast, Dilraba sat in the audience with a dim gaze and a bitter expression, but when the camera panned over, she had to force a smile to maintain her composure.

At the same time, the camera panned to the other people in the audience—

Most of the actors, including veteran artists such as Hou Yong, Wu Gang, and Lin Yongjian, showed expressions of surprise.

After all, before they came to the awards ceremony, they heard that Dilraba would win the Golden Eagle Grand Slam.

As a result, apart from being named the Golden Eagle Goddess, Dilraba didn't win a single trophy.

That's really surprising.

As a talented actress, Cherry won the Best Actress award, which many people felt was a sign that the organizers had a change of heart and suddenly became fair and just.

However, Yang Xiaozhi is also a popular actress, so how did she suddenly steal Dilraba Dilmurat's popularity queen?

This has led many to suspect that someone deliberately released false information before the awards ceremony to mislead public opinion and make Dilraba take the blame.

Such discussions and doubts arose not only inside the awards ceremony venue, but also among netizens outside, who were also greatly puzzled, and even Dilraba herself was no exception.

That evening, the hashtag "[Feeling sorry for Dilraba]" immediately topped the trending searches.

The picture accompanying the trending topic was taken in dim lighting, showing Dilraba with drooping eyelids, a bitter expression on her lips, and a pitiful look as she forced a smile.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaozhi picked up the trophy on stage, beaming with joy, as if she were standing at the pinnacle of her life.

In addition, some netizens also added a third picture.

When Yang Xiaozhi received the trophy, Lu Yunzhou turned around, glanced at Dilireba, and looked at her with a question mark in his eyes, as if asking: What happened? Why didn't you and I receive the award together?

This immediately caused a huge online buzz!

These three pictures alone have inspired netizens to imagine a 40-episode drama of love and hate.

Without a doubt, Yang Xiaozhi is the biggest villain in this drama.

Suddenly, the phrase "coined words that night" appeared on Weibo's trending topics.

【Paint purple】.

The entire internet has been educated on how Yang Xiaozhi used unfair vote-buying methods to forcibly snatch the Best Actress award from Dilraba Dilmurat!

Meanwhile, the Douban rating for "Ashes of Love," starring Yang Xiaozi, continued to decline, dropping by a full 0.5 points.

Minutes!

Because many netizens were resentful after learning that Yang Xiaozi had obtained the title of "Queen of Popularity" by rigging votes, they gave "Ashes of Love" negative reviews.

Meanwhile, Dilraba's Weibo account received countless blessings and expressions of love.

"Don't cry, sister! We love you!"

"Dilraba, be a brave girl!"

"I'm totally shipping them! The moment Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Dilraba, I started believing in love again! Can you guys please make an idol drama? Please!"

"LD couple, please, just get married right now!"

The awards ceremony was halfway through.

Dilraba has already topped the trending search list.

The entire internet is feeling sorry for her.

Although Yang Xiaozhi won the "Queen of Popularity" award, she became a laughing stock on the internet.

The internet slang term "刷紫" (shuā zǐ, meaning "to brush purple") has been forever associated with her.

Who actually made the money?

It's hard to say.

"Congratulations, Dilraba!"

"After this battle, your fanbase has become much more cohesive!"

"They all feel sorry for you, and they all hope that you, brother, can love you just once—before you officially announced your relationship, they would all feel sorry for you."

I love you, I'll do all the data work for you!

"Your fan base is unparalleled among all female celebrities in China! No, it's a league of their own! In today's trendy terms, you've already entered the net level!"

Not long after the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony ended, data compiled by agent Aunt Xue from various sources proved just how clever Dilraba's "tortured persona" was this time.

The entire internet data exploded.

Many brands want Dilraba Dilmurat to be their spokesperson.

For example, Anmuxi milk.

This kind of lifestyle brand, even though it doesn't look high-end, actually pays a lot in endorsement fees.

After all, being able to endorse such a brand is a symbol of national popularity.

"Just a small test."

Dilraba showed no arrogance, gently blowing on a tuft of hair beside her, her tone tinged with regret: "It's a pity I couldn't have someone shoot me. Otherwise, if I had survived this ordeal, all my fans online would have sworn to love me."

The agent burst out laughing upon hearing this.

This is why Lu Yunzhou became an unparalleled top influencer across the entire internet, with an incredibly high level of fan cohesion.

Even though his rumored relationship with Wang Ran is almost confirmed, his fans still remain loyal.

Because Lu Yunzhou is someone who almost died once.

For fans, Lu Yunzhou's remaining life was a gift from heaven.

It was as if Heaven heard the prayers of these fans and released Lu Yunzhou back to the mortal world, just so they could see him a few more times.

Unless Lu Yunzhou himself makes an official announcement, his fans can simply ignore it. Any marketing account spreading such nonsense is asking for trouble.

If hundreds of thousands of people report a single marketing account at the same time, can that account still survive?

"Aaaaaah!"

Why is this happening?

"Get this trending topic down immediately—I don't want to be the one trending in the purple!"

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaozhi was going crazy.

Is there a problem with her receiving the "Queen of Popularity" award?

Is the viewership rating for "Ashes of Love" not good?

Isn't it 100 times better than "Pretty Li Huizhen"?

Why was she ridiculed online after receiving the "Most Popular Woman" award? Why did the entire internet feel sorry for Dilraba?

What's there to feel sorry for Dilraba?

Dilraba has been having an incredibly enjoyable time lately.

In particular, after Jiahang's shares were transferred from Yang Mi to Tang Yan, Lu Yunzhou became the senior disciple of Jiahang's lineage.

The senior disciple of a sect is a world-class expert. Would anyone dare to provoke this sect?

To be honest, Yang Xiaozhi was extremely envious of Dilraba—but instead, the whole internet felt sorry for Dilraba?

Why would I feel bad about it?

After this battle, Yang Xiaozhi realized that her tactics of manipulating public opinion and pampering and retaining fans were no match for Dilraba's management team.

She still needs to focus on her work.

Dilraba is great in every way—except that her appearance is too exotic. Whether she's on the red carpet or at award ceremonies, she's definitely outstanding.

However, Dilraba is definitely not as good as me in acting!

airport.

"Xiao Meng, let's part ways here."

Lu Yunzhou gave a signal, and then his agent and assistant pulled Wang Ran out of the van.

They are going back to Shanghai.

Wang Ran had to go back to school.

As for Lu Yunzhou, he will fly directly from Changsha to Chongqing—he wants to personally oversee the preliminary preparations for the "Assassination of a Novelist" project.

In particular, the female lead was changed.

Zhao Liying actually withdrew voluntarily — in fact, Lu Yunzhou had calculated the time; after giving birth, Zhao Liying would rest for three months before joining the training group.

The training time can be longer, which is fine.

Because this movie won't be finished until at least the end of 2019.

2020 is not a suitable year for film releases.

This movie would be more suitable for the 2021 Spring Festival release.

Therefore, it doesn't matter much if Zhao Liying takes a few more months to recover.

However, Zhao Liying did not think that way; she was under a lot of psychological pressure.

Because she was worried that after giving birth, her body would be out of shape and she wouldn't be able to meet the coach's training requirements—at that time, the whole crew would be watching her and talking about her behind her back.

Although she looks round and plump like a little steamed bun, she is strong-willed and never admits defeat.

She didn't want to be the one who dragged the crew down.

Rather than letting Lu Yunzhou harbor resentment towards her and the entire crew gossip about her behind her back, she decided to step back and give this opportunity to Tian Xiwei.

She trusted Lu Yunzhou and believed he wouldn't treat her unfairly.

In addition, Tian Xiwei would also have to accept her favor—after a few words of encouragement from her husband, Zhao Liying felt that she could at least maintain her popularity.

10 years.

From an idol star to a film industry insider, Lu Yunzhou's go-to tool!

She's going to dominate the 40-year-old actress category!

"Brother, Chongqing girls are fierce—if you go to Chongqing, remember, don't be fooled by their gentle appearance and sweet smiles."

"When you're about to fall for a scam, just think of Oda."

Wang Ran was afraid that Lu Yunzhou would run off to another place and, by chance, meet a cute little girl.

Lu Yunzhou is good in every way, but he has no resistance to cute and gentle girls.

But those cute and gentle little girls are actually Tyrannosaurus Rex in pink.

Wang Ran could tell the difference clearly, but Lu Yunzhou simply didn't have that ability.

She had to offer a few more reminders.

To avoid accidentally having another sister next semester.

"You've reminded me several times already."

Lu Yunzhou gently ruffled Wang Ran's hair to reassure her.

I am not such a casual person.

If he truly encounters his destiny, then whether he goes to Chongqing or not, he cannot escape the blow of fate.

"Brother, I'm going back."

Amidst hurried footsteps and the throng of people, Wang Ran waved to Lu Yunzhou with a bright smile, leaving behind a sweet gesture.

Then he turned around and entered the ticket check channel.

She always felt that she had the sweetest smile in the world. Lu Yunzhou would think that all other girls were just ordinary and unattractive if he looked at her smile more often.

"Brother, remember to think of me~~"

The roar of airplanes taking off echoed overhead every now and then.

The plane's massive iron wings remained motionless, like a roast duck carcass, as it slowly drifted towards the horizon, eventually becoming a tiny black dot and disappearing from sight.

Looking back, Lu Yunzhou could still picture Wang Ran's sweet smiling face.

Although she's quite scheming, she's actually quite adorable when she's not rolling her eyes.

Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly, picked up a travel magazine from the bookshelf in the VIP waiting area, and casually began to flip through it.

"Oh, it's Sayram Lake."

He had been to Sayram Lake, but that was a long time ago.

One summer, he was staying at a guesthouse near Sayram Lake, gazing at the starry sky and watching the Perseid meteor shower.

But at that moment, Lu Yunzhou received a phone call.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Jiang Bing, the senior vice president of the kiwifruit company.

"Brother Xiaochuan, I know these two months are your vacation. You usually don't film after October. I have a show here that needs a few judges, would you like to come and join us?"

"Don't worry, it won't interfere with your schedule at all. It will be recorded in Yanjing, and will definitely be finished before December, in about a month."

"The name is 'The Chinese Style Youth'."

Going to be a judge on variety shows is purely for fun.

Lu Yunzhou didn't need to prepare anything at all; Jiang Bing was essentially giving him pocket money to spend and even taking him out to play.

Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "I can be a judge. However, if there are any scheduling conflicts, I have the right to withdraw at any time."

Jiang Bing laughed and said, "For the first episode, just showing up is enough. With you there, the show is guaranteed to be a hit."

In the first episode, Lu Yunzhou's appearance alone guarantees the show will be an instant hit. Whether it becomes popular later is up to the production team.

"Can."

With this clause in place, Lu Yunzhou agreed: "You can have someone talk to Sister Ji about the specifics."

"Then it's settled."

Jiang Bing chuckled and shared a little news with Lu Yunzhou: "Among the contestants, I took a look and there's a Uyghur girl named Hanikezi who's definitely your type. She's the kind with short legs, but she's really cute."

Outsiders all thought that Lu Yunzhou liked long legs.

Doesn't Jiang Bing know Lu Yunzhou?

When filming "The Day Is Coming," everyone could see that Lu Yunzhou favored Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan clearly has short legs, but she lied to the public and said she was a "little octopus with long legs," which completely distorted public opinion online.

No wonder he invited Lu Yunzhou to go to a party with young models—Lu Yunzhou never went; turns out he likes short-legged girls.

"Old Jiang, you've smeared my reputation, I'm not going."

I originally wanted to give Jiang Bing some face, but Jiang Bing ended up slandering me.

Lu Yunzhou decided not to give them that face.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bing immediately begged for forgiveness, "Brother, I was wrong. I won't say anything nonsense again. Please give me another chance."

Lu Yunzhou's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I was just kidding. I just suddenly remembered that I have to go to Italy. I probably won't have time next month."

Since Zhang Ruonan became pregnant, Lu Yunzhou has hardly spent any time with her.

After scouting locations in Chongqing, Lu Yunzhou will soon be on vacation—he will not participate in any events at the end of the year except for a few award ceremonies that he must attend.

It's like giving myself a break.

Since things had come to this, Jiang Bing didn't press the matter: "Alright then. Next time there's a good event, I'll invite you six months in advance. You now..."

"They're incredibly popular."

Jiang Bing almost forgot that Lu Yunzhou had many international projects to work on in addition to domestic ones.

He wants to do a variety show with Lu Yunzhou like before, but that's probably getting harder and harder.

I had just boarded the plane not long ago.

Lu Yunzhou turned off his phone and prepared to take out his computer to finish watching the movie he hadn't finished before.

But at that moment, the familiar system startup sound rang out once again.

[Congratulations, player! Your film "The Fairy Castle 2: The Persian Gulf Court" has surpassed $10 billion in global box office revenue. With two consecutive films exceeding $10 billion, you have become a world-renowned commercial film director.]

[Congratulations, player! Through your creation of the underwater world of the Persian Gulf and your fairy-like depiction of the Gulf region's plants, you have successfully won the hearts of audiences in the Gulf countries. Your name is known throughout the Gulf region, and you have become a superstar.]

[Congratulations to the player who has made the Willow Tree Fairy, played by actress Zhang Tianai, the most beloved female character in the "Fairy Castle" series. The scene where she silently observes the protagonist through the mirror is heartbreaking and sad, becoming one of the most memorable moments of the entire film.]

[Congratulations to the player for once again successfully collaborating with the film to market the brand, perfectly combining Kourei Bridal with dreams and love—thanks to your tireless efforts, you have successfully brought the Kourei brand back into the realm of high-end luxury.]

Blue-blooded luxury?

Lu Yunzhou was very surprised to hear the system's description.

Luxury brands worldwide are known as the "Big Six Blue Bloods" and the "Big Eight Red Bloods".

The six major blue-blooded brands refer to Chanel, LV, Dior, Gucci, Prada, and CK!

Hermès is not among them.

This is not because Hermès is not a high-end brand—but because these six "blue bloods" generally refer to the status of models.

An unknown model can become a famous model as soon as she becomes the face of one of the six major blue-chip brands.

For example, not all of CK's product lines are high-end.

But once you become a CK model, a CK girl, your status in the modeling world can be described as instant fame.

And now, Kou Rui also has this kind of influence.

Once you become a model for Kourry, your value will skyrocket!

This is the influence of a brand.

This reflects the public's trust in Kourry's aesthetic sense!

Zhang Tianai received the biggest benefit.

Zhang Tianai, who played the willow tree fairy in the "Fairy Castle" series, was described by international audiences as having "a classic Chloe look!"

Exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a spirited demeanor.

She has a seductive face, but possesses an unwavering queenly aura.

This is a typical look for Chloe.

Sword and rose, together!

A brand's unique aesthetic is key to its success.

A brand can leave a deep impression on the audience, and even make the audience associate the brand's aesthetic taste with the brand's spokesperson.

This is extremely difficult to do.

For example, when Chanel is mentioned, some people think of a princess style. Simple and elegant.

When you think of Prada, you think of understated luxury.

When you think of Gucci, you think of Florence—intricate, luxurious, and full of artistic tension.

Now, Kou Rui also has her own unique label.

[Congratulations, player! You've achieved significant influence in the Gulf region through the film "Fairy Castle 2: The Persian Gulf Court".]

[Congratulations, player! You've made Abdullah, the commander of Qatar's Royal Guard, a national celebrity in the Gulf states. Abdullah is extremely grateful to you.]

[Congratulations, player! You have received rewards (Abdullah's combat talent, melee weapon talent, horsemanship talent, spearmanship talent, command talent, espionage talent, and language talent)]

Depend on!

Abdullah is a real talent!

How can someone have so many talents?

At first, Lu Yunzhou only knew that this guy could speak six languages ​​and, although he was from a branch of the Qatari royal family, he became the commander of the royal guard because of his exceptional talent.

During the collaboration, Lu Yunzhou discovered that he was also quite talented as an actor.

Lu Yunzhou was initially a little confused.

I only found out today, after looking at his talent chart, that this guy has a spy talent!

"Abdullah's talents are quite useful."

"It just so happens that I was filming 'The Killer's Shopping Mall' and was worried about how to train and improve myself—these talents came at just the right time."

Lu Yunzhou's physical talent is already quite good; among humans, it's already top-tier.

However, some skill-based talents are different from physical talents.

After all, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

Abdullah's fighting skills could be of great help to him!

Action superstar—he's here!
