Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 201: 6 nominations for the Hundred Flowers Awards! A legacy passed down from the eldest brother, officially recognized! A legacy for kung fu films!

After the celebration banquet, Tian Xiwei did not return to the "Zhu Xian" production team.

Because, two days later, she was going to Foshan with the crew of "The Fairy Castle of Dresden" to attend the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony for popular films!

She received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

"Haha, haha—I didn't expect to be nominated too! Cunzi, it's my treat today! Let's go get our hair done!"

I'm going to an awards ceremony in a couple of days, and there will definitely be a red carpet event, which is an occasion for every female celebrity to show off her beauty.

Tian Xiwei, of course, was not to be outdone.

She invited Liu Haocun to go out and get her hair done.

Liu Haocun looked puzzled, glancing at Tian Xiwei every now and then, his eyes darting around, the question marks practically jumping off the screen.

Tian Xiwei laughed and hooked her arm around Liu Haocun's shoulder, asking, "Are you trying to ask me what method I used to get my older brother to pull strings and force me to get a nomination?"

Liu Haocun nodded slightly. She was indeed very puzzled.

If we had to award a Best Supporting Actress award for "The Fairy Castle of Dresden," it would definitely go to Zhang Tianai.

Zhang Tianai's portrayal of the willow tree fairy is very popular overseas.

Some international students even wrote an article on foreign social media platforms in support of Zhang Tianai, the willow tree fairy.

The article is titled "Why is she a willow tree fairy, and not some other fairy?"

The author of this article breaks down the farewell culture of ancient China in detail—why do Chinese people say "breaking off a willow branch as a farewell gesture"?

Why are willow trees so special to Chinese people?

The other party even went on to list a whole bunch of poems about willows from ancient Chinese literature.

The conclusion drawn is that willow trees represent a kind of emotional attachment for Chinese people.

Even after moving to Dresden, "Master Li" did not forget to take the willow trees from his hometown with him, and even cultivated them into spirits.

The article was originally quite serious, but after several rounds of discussion in the comments section, the topic completely veered off course.

Netizens only care about one thing: "How do you grow such a willow tree fairy?"

In short, even foreigners can see that Zhang Tianai is the most outstanding supporting character in the Fairy Castle series, even more popular than the female lead "Xue'er".

As for the cool and sassy female villain played by Tian Xiwei, she clearly doesn't deserve that nomination.

Tian Xiwei has now been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. In Liu Haocun's mind, it must be because Tian Xiwei slept with Lu Yunzhou overnight and got him to give her the extra reward.

"Cunzi, don't overthink things."

Just go with your first instinct.

"You guessed right, my older brother loves me the most and can't stand seeing me suffer. He insisted on getting me a Best Supporting Actress nomination. What can I do?"

"I'm helpless too."

Tian Xiwei's arrogant demeanor made Liu Haocun clench his fists, wishing he could smash the dimple that Tian Xiwei revealed at the corner of her mouth with one punch!

Tian Xiwei's face of showing affection really deserves a beating.

"However, I am the best actress."

Coming to his senses, Liu Haocun convinced himself not to be angry with Tian Xiwei. Even if Tian Xiwei got in through connections, so what? She definitely wouldn't win the award.

She's different; she's more likely to win an award.

However, she relied on her own abilities, while Tian Xiwei relied on Lu Yunzhou's support—thinking about this, Liu Haocun felt a little bitter.

In November, the wind blowing from the Huangpu River already carried a hint of coolness.

Liu Haocun instinctively wrapped his coat tighter around himself, tucking his neck inside, and quickly followed Tian Xiwei into a nearby beauty salon.

"Xiaotian, what's the boatwoman's personality like?"

After the two finished their hair treatments and sat there waiting for the medicine to take effect, Liu Haocun casually turned to Tian Xiwei and asked her a question.

Why are you asking this?

Tian Xiwei turned her head and snorted, "Whether my second sister has a good personality or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Liu Haocun rolled his eyes. Tian Xiwei was just asking a question she already knew the answer to, deliberately trying to disgust him.

Seeing Liu Haocun pouting and remaining silent, Tian Xiwei laughed, her eyes darting around, and said seriously, "To tell you the truth, my second sister has an absolutely terrible temper. You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself, or if she finds out, she'll kick you to death."

Tian Xiwei was deliberately scaring herself.

Liu Haocun understood.

At this moment, ignoring Wang Ran's bad words, she couldn't help but say, "I heard from people at the game company that the Middle East, with over 20 countries and nearly 5 million people, including about 3 million internet users, is the fastest-growing game market in the world. Annual game spending is around 50..."

Around $100 million, which is roughly equivalent to the domestic film market.

"Fairy Castle is our company's flagship product. Once this game has established itself in the market, we will continue to develop many games in cooperation with Tencent."

Liu Haocun's implication was that Tian Xiwei had actually already obtained the ticket to the ship, and that the company might be very valuable in the future.

After all, most of the major internet companies in China make money primarily from games.

The company she serves as the legal representative of has taken the lead in penetrating the Middle East market, becoming the first to try something new. Coupled with Lu Yunzhou's own influence in the Middle East, her company is expected to be very profitable.

She already holds the position of legal representative of Lu Yunzhou's large company, so why can't she enter his home?

Tian Xiwei should treat her as a good friend.

Why is your attitude still the same as before?

"Oh, that's very good."

But when Tian Xiwei heard this, she just picked at her ear, completely unconcerned.

Because Lu Yunzhou was only a co-investor in this game company.

After investing in the game company, it was simply to make it easier for him to take on some game special effects work, and to support the special effects team at his own Swan Man Special Effects Studio.

Lu Yunzhou never considered the game company as his main business.

But Kiko in Tian Xiwei's hand is different.

Lu Yunzhou tried every means to help her rise in status and to help her make friends with all kinds of female celebrities, including actresses born in the 85s, 90s, and 95s, and even those born in the 00s like He Shiyu, bringing them all to Kiko's camp.

As long as Kiko grows bigger, Tian Xiwei will be the Empress Wu Zetian of the entertainment industry!

Every time these female celebrities see her, they have to toast her and call her Empress Tian!

Liu Haocun still dares to show off in front of me?

"Xiaotian, my brother entrusted me with so much money; he really trusts me. I'm very touched. He trusts me even more than I trust myself."

Liu Haocun, still thinking about how good Lu Yunzhou was, looked up at Tian Xiwei with a blank stare and asked the crucial question, "But, do you trust me?"

I'm not worried at all!

Of all these people, you're the worst!

Tian Xiwei suddenly realized something and turned to look at Liu Haocun: "Are you planning to become a traitor? Did Zhang Yimou poach you?"

"Um."

Liu Haocun nodded slightly, a troubled look on his face: "During the filming of 'One Second,' Director Zhang Yimou seemed to admire me quite a bit and asked me if I wanted to join his company. He said that he would promote me as the female lead in any major projects he undertakes in the future. Moreover, he promised to promote only me. He is getting old and doesn't have that much energy to promote so many people."

"How dare you!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei's face darkened, but she turned her head away, not wanting to look at Liu Haocun again. Her tone was icy as she said, "Your elder brother has been incredibly kind to you, and you've chosen to betray us? From this day forward, our sisterly bond is severed. You'll have to pay for your own hair later!"

Seeing Tian Xiwei's furious expression, Liu Haocun gently covered his mouth and chuckled, "Little Tian, ​​why are you so angry? I didn't agree to it."

"You didn't agree, but you wavered—that's your biggest mistake!"

Tian Xiwei snorted softly, her eyes no longer turning to him, and said coldly, "Cunzi, you did nothing wrong. But I can only say that you are no longer my sister. You are a stranger—because you hesitated. This is a betrayal of our elder brother."

I wouldn't hesitate at all, and no one would be so blind as to ask me if I should switch jobs?

After all, I'm Kiko's boss!

This company is now worth 20 billion euros — those people should weigh their own worth before they start fooling themselves.

"I didn't hesitate! I refused Director Zhang Yimou's offer on the spot."

Liu Haocun couldn't help but emphasize it again.

She never expected that just because she showed a hint of hesitation, Tian Xiwei would already regard her as a traitor, wishing she could carve the word "traitor" on her face so that she could never clear her name for the rest of her life.

These die-hard fans are toxic!

Taking a deep breath, Liu Haocun could only argue, "Xiao Tian, ​​I just wanted to tell you that I'm very valuable. I can help my older brother make a lot of money."

"In the entire entertainment industry, I've counted all the actresses my age, and none of them are as good at acting as I am pretty. Those who are prettier than me aren't as good at acting. And those who are both better at acting and prettier than me don't have as good a figure or as cute and clever as me."

"I am unique."

"Of course, Oda, you are one of a kind."

"We're two unique actresses, we should be best friends. If all else fails, next time you star in a movie, I'll play a supporting role."

Liu Haocun actually wanted to be best friends with Tian Xiwei.

However, whether Tian Xiwei deliberately didn't understand or was intentionally making things difficult for her, she kept repeating the same few sentences, trying to push her far away.

At that moment, Tian Xiwei turned to look at Liu Haocun and snorted coldly: "Cunzi, don't think I don't know what you're talking about. We're best friends, I'll give you anything, but you can't be so treacherous and try to steal my man."

"I will not allow this!"

"Unless you go and get rid of Zhang Jingyi."

Should I go and kill Zhang Jingyi?

Liu Haocun was stunned for a moment, a bitter taste appearing in his mouth.

Tian Xiwei's request is simply outrageous.

Lu Yunzhou went to Yanjing for an event, but deliberately sent her to Guangdong for a roadshow, just so he could have an affair with Zhang Jingyi.

Lu Yunzhou even resorted to underhanded tactics for Zhang Jingyi.

He had never done this for any girl before.

It's easy to see why Zhang Jingyi holds a special place in Lu Yunzhou's heart.

This Hunan five-step snake is their real biggest threat.

Thinking of Zhang Jingyi, Liu Haocun, and Tian Xiwei, they couldn't help but grit their teeth and curse inwardly: Damn incompetent chicken! It's all his fault!

"Yunzhou, seafood porridge, eat more."

Wang Ran went to school, and after Lu Yunzhou got up, he took the elevator downstairs to Tang Yan's house for dinner.

Upon seeing that breakfast was seafood porridge, Lu Yunzhou knew that he would probably become Tang Yan's juice soon.

Let her suck it in!

"Thank you, sister."

The reason why fate is fate is that it is unavoidable.

Tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Tang Yan's new mattress.

Lu Yunzhou planned to eat and drink his fill before making any further decisions.

Watching Lu Yunzhou leisurely eat his breakfast, Tang Yan said with a smile, "Yunzhou, our production company is making more and more money, and our other businesses are also thriving. You've worked hard these past few years."

"It's not hard work. I enjoy it."

Lu Yunzhou waved his hand dismissively.

What's so hard about making movies?

Once on set, everyone listened to him, and every now and then some pretty actresses would try to seduce him. Although he never fell for their advances, he still enjoyed the psychological thrill of it.

After the movie was made and released, the box office soared, it was praised all over the internet, and everyone in the fan group was praising themselves wildly.

During the movie's promotional tour, countless people surrounded him, shouting: "Brother, you're so handsome! I want to date you!"

Although he was physically tired, the mental enjoyment he experienced was something that no other job could provide for Lu Yunzhou.

If anyone says this kind of work is hard, then you should quit the industry! Anyway, Lu Yunzhou has never encountered a job that's more enjoyable than this.

Even being a leader can't compare to this kind of work.

Because, although leaders hold high positions and wield great power, their subordinates may appear extremely respectful on the surface, but in private they may be cursing the leader's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Being a celebrity is still the best.

Those seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls genuinely liked him. He could make them faint with excitement at the slightest wave.

Tang Yan was speechless for a moment when she saw that Lu Yunzhou was not following the usual routine. Then she walked behind Lu Yunzhou, put her arm around his neck, bent down and said, "What I mean is, when you go to Italy to film, I'll go with you."

It's impossible for him to accompany me to filming.

Tang Yan simply wanted to tell herself that the two of them rarely saw each other, and besides, she was getting older, and if she didn't have a child soon, she would become an elderly mother.

Moreover, it is more difficult to recover after childbirth when you are older.

If her body shape were to change, Tang Yan would probably feel even worse.

"Sister, I'm so happy you'd come with me. But there are so many people on set, and if it gets leaked, it'll damage your image."

"How about this, you go to Switzerland and wait for me first."

"I'll only be on set for two months at most, then I'll come to Switzerland to find you."

When Lu Yunzhou gets involved with young girls like Tian Xiwei and Wang Ran, netizens might just gossip and call him a womanizer.

However, if they were to get involved with Tang Yan, the two would face immense public pressure.

At least on the surface, he and Tang Yan were work partners and company partners, like Bo Ya and Zi Qi in the entertainment industry, kindred spirits who found their soulmates.

This persona has already been fixed by netizens. If he tries to break their perception, he'll probably lose his career.

If he were to expose his relationship with Tang Yan, it would be comparable to Liu Shishi's insistence on marrying Nicky Wu back then.

His imperial guards would probably elect Tian Xiwei as the Grand General overnight to attack Xuanwu Gate and purge the court of corrupt officials!

At that time, he will become a deposed emperor.

Tang Yan, mostly amidst the clamor of the army, was given three feet of white silk as a form of mourning.

"Going to Switzerland—that's fine too."

Tang Yan had no objection to this. Anyway, she had already enjoyed everything she could. Now she could find a handsome guy to date. What more could she want?

Moreover, Lu Yunzhou was indeed very good to her.

Not only did he help her make so much money, but he also promoted her to be a big sister in Shanghai's entertainment circle. Now, when other company bosses want to cooperate with Lu Yunzhou, they all come to her first.

Over the years, people have gradually realized that it's useless to approach Lu Yunzhou directly if you want to collaborate with him; he simply won't easily agree to cooperate with others.

However, as long as Tang Yan speaks up, Lu Yunzhou will give her face. Therefore, Tang Yan's face suddenly becomes very valuable.

If anyone else wants Lu Yunzhou's help, they have to go through Tang Yan.

In fact, Lu Yunzhou didn't need to go through all that trouble; he could have made the decision himself.

However, in order to make Tang Yan's status in this circle extremely high, Lu Yunzhou forcibly cultivated a cold and arrogant personality, showing no respect to anyone.

He only gave Tang Yan face.

As a result, even if Tang Yan stopped acting, her status in the industry continued to rise, making her extremely happy.

What about the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to top actresses and actresses known for their high rank and popularity)? Who has her status?

Now, whenever Zhang Ziyi comes to Shanghai for events, she has to go see Tang Yan first.

Just a couple of days ago, Zhang Ziyi asked Tang Yan whether she should accept Dolce & Gabbana's invitation to come to Shanghai for their fashion show in two weeks.

After all, Cora and Dolce & Gabbana are direct competitors. Lu Yunzhou clearly doesn't get along with Dolce & Gabbana.

Will her endorsement of Dolce & Gabbana upset Lu Yunzhou? She was hoping that Lu Yunzhou would have some good projects and include her in them.

The appearance fee for endorsing Dolce & Gabbana is not bad, but she is Zhang Ziyi, she doesn't need that little bit of money!

Tang Yan hadn't expected Zhang Ziyi to ask her this question.

After thinking it over, Tang Yan realized that Zhang Ziyi wanted something from her.

After all, although Zhang Ziyi is a high-profile celebrity, she is ultimately an actress, and an actress has to act.

Zhang Ziyi, however, looks down on ordinary directors.

Only a top-tier director is worthy of wielding a weapon of Zhang Ziyi's caliber! However, Zhang Ziyi has a foul mouth and has offended many people.

She has very few directors she can work with.

Lu Yunzhou is the best choice among them.

Tang Yan never imagined that she would have this day.

Overjoyed, she told Zhang Ziyi to let the other party go as they pleased, as Lu Yunzhou wouldn't care.

Dolce & Gabbana's two Asia-Pacific brand ambassadors, Wang Junkai, is currently filming "A Writer's Odyssey," while Dilraba Dilmurat is their devoted follower.

Dolce & Gabbana? Just bones in a tomb.

When Tang Yan finished speaking, Zhang Ziyi's expression was incredibly varied.

Tang Yan felt she had never felt so good in her life.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunzhou was still in Chongqing at the time and had no idea how much fun she had that day.

Now, she'll let Lu Yunzhou experience it!

Air France or China Eastern?

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou was almost finished eating, Tang Yan asked a question with great charm, and then prepared to go back to her room to change her clothes.

Tang Yan's question—Lu Yunzhou felt like he'd heard it somewhere before.

Isn't this a question Zhang Ruonan often asks?

How did Tang Yan find out?

Has her relationship with Zhang Ruonan gotten that good?

"China Eastern Airlines, please."

Lu Yunzhou instinctively replied, "Since we're in Shanghai, let's eat some authentic local food first."

evening.

"Brother, I'm back!"

After a long day at school, Wang Ran returned home and immediately kicked off her flat shoes, walking around the house barefoot.

What about people?

Where did my porridge go?

Who stole it again?

Wang Ran subconsciously pushed open Tian Xiwei's door. Tian Xiwei was fast asleep, her beautiful, silky hair casually...

Scattered on the quilt.

My hair looks beautiful after I just had it done.

Wang Ran snorted and gently nudged Tian Xiwei: "Little Tian, ​​where's your brother? I told you to keep an eye on him. And you slacked off, letting him go out to eat takeout again?"

Tian Xiwei rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said, "Second sister, don't worry. Eldest brother went downstairs to visit the nursing home; he didn't go out fooling around."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ran almost burst out laughing. She gave Tian Xiwei a playful shove and said, "Don't talk nonsense. What nursing home? Show some respect to Lao San."

After saying that, Wang Ran casually asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​what do you want for dinner? You'll be traveling all over the country with your brother soon, which must be tiring. I'll treat you to something nice on your behalf."

I knew that as long as I scolded Tang San, my second sister would be happy.

Having spent so much time with Wang Ran, Tian Xiwei has figured him out and can easily make him happy with just a few sweet words.

Then, her eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "Second Sister, I really liked those spicy butterfly cookies you treated me to last time. How about we have them for dinner?"

Without realizing it, Tian Xiwei praised Wang Ran again.

Wang Ran's mood indeed improved: "This is just a snack, how can it be a main meal? Let me treat you to pork ribs with rice cakes! I know a place that's especially delicious."

"Anything my second sister likes must be good."

Tian Xiwei offered another round of flattery.

Wang Ran went up and gently rubbed Tian Xiwei's cheek, smiling sweetly, "Your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. No wonder, your brother is going to give you his full support."

Tian Xiwei immediately retorted, saying very seriously, "Second sister, how can I compare to you? You are naturally beautiful, while I can only rely on the halo of my roles. If I'm not born with the right features, I can only make up for it with hard work."

At this point, Tian Xiwei sighed again and said regretfully, "It's a pity, Second Sister, your portrayal of the character in 'Queen of Tears' is too deeply ingrained in people's minds. If you were to play other roles now, people would be distracted. Because in everyone's hearts, you are Big Brother's only true love! He took two bullets for you. You were his first love, your childhood sweetheart, and you were the one he went through all the ups and downs with."

"Whether it's you or your older brother, in the past two years, whenever you play a couple with someone else—I reckon the audience will be pulled out of the story in no time."

"Let alone the audience, I can't even watch it myself."

Hahaha!

These few words from Tian Xiwei made Wang Ran overjoyed.

"Xiao Tian, ​​I see Liu Haocun has a rebellious streak; you need to be careful. Don't let her steal all the opportunities that should be yours."

"Queen of Tears" made Wang Ran extremely happy. With just this one drama, she instantly became a top star.

Moreover, she even played a couple with Lu Yunzhou!

Childhood sweethearts, an unforgettable first love, lingering regrets, a tumultuous journey, an arranged marriage that blossoms into love—these are common tropes in various female-oriented CEO romance novels.

The whole route was reenacted.

It's sickeningly sweet.

She is still completely absorbed in it and can't pull herself out.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunzhou's die-hard fans wouldn't allow her to be his sister-in-law.

Wang Ran can only go back to school and keep a low profile for a while. Otherwise, whenever she appears in the same frame as Lu Yunzhou, hundreds of thousands of Lu Yunzhou's fans will come and scold her!

She's a celebrity to enjoy herself; if she's constantly being criticized, where's the satisfaction in that?

Even Li Lei, the king of duck soup, suffers from depression!

Only she knows how much pain she's going through inside, beneath her glamorous exterior.

Wang Ran always felt that she and Lu Yunzhou were a match made in heaven, so why didn't the fans in the group accept that she was Lu Yunzhou's girlfriend?

She thought that after her relationship was exposed, everyone would wish her well.

Who knew that during those few days, she tentatively posted a photo of herself drinking porridge, only to be met with sarcastic remarks from a bunch of people in the group.

"Second sister, thank you for taking such good care of me. You always think of me when good things happen."

Wang Ran is actually a good person; it's just that she's always been like a child who hasn't grown up, spoiled by everyone.

Not to mention others, even Tian Xiwei at home would find ways to pamper Wang Ran.

"What are you thanking me for? We're family. We'll all be buried in the same grave eventually. Why be so formal?"

Wang Ran held Tian Xiwei's hand, her big eyes sparkling, sweet and gentle.

Tian Xiwei, however, wasn't buying it. She forced a smile and asked seriously, "Second Sister, who do you want to kill? Tell me. I'll definitely help you."

There is always an ulterior motive behind giving a gift!

Wang Ran is being so nice to me today, there must be something she wants my help with.

Sure enough, Wang Ran's smile vanished, and he said through gritted teeth, "Xiao Tian, ​​do you know where that idiot ran off to? Next time you see him, kill him for me!"

As for the reason?

Lu Yunzhou went to Chongqing. The first day was for work, but from the second day onwards, he stayed in the hotel with Zhang Jingyi.

I didn't go downstairs for three whole days and three nights!

She's never drunk porridge this much before.

It breaks my heart!

"Second sister, I'll help you!"

In front of Wang Ran, Tian Xiwei directly opened their fan group.

Tian Xiwei first sent a red envelope in the group.

In an instant, all the red envelopes were snatched up.

Tian Xiwei then asked unhurriedly, "Does anyone know where Cai Xukun, the number one winner from 'Idol Producer,' is now? @Individual Trainee, do you know?"

Depend on!

Cai Xukun, currently in South Korea, is sharing his new song "It's You," which he released this summer, in a group chat.

0

Right now, Cai Xukun, using the nickname "Individual Trainee," is frantically promoting his new song in the group chat.

"A good song goes unheard—haven't you all noticed how evocative this song is?"

"The lyrics are like poetry, the music is dreamy, and the rhythm is very moving. It is simply perfect Eastern urban blues."

"The person who wrote this song must be incredibly talented."

"I heard he wrote this song in just two days. He composed the music during the day and wrote the lyrics at night, and produced it the next day—all in one go!"

"This is a musical gift from God to us fans!"

"God has sent such a talented musical genius to us. It's truly a gift from heaven. Is there anyone who wants to join me?"

Is it the same feeling?

Cai Xukun is in the group chat, raving about how awesome his new song is.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei jumped out and asked if anyone knew where Cai Xukun was.

They even circled him in the background.

[Individual Trainee]: "Who is Chicken Bro? I do know Kun Bro. We ikun hate haters like you the most."

【No Idle Land Under Heaven】: "Promoting 'noob' in our Imperial Guard's group chat? I think you have a death wish! Don't you know whose territory this is? How dare you act so arrogantly here? I think your death is imminent!"

What's going on?

Am I about to die?

Is Tian Xiwei warning me?

Considering that Wang Ran was also in the group, even though he didn't say anything, he must have been watching the screen the whole time.

Thinking of this, Cai Xukun decisively left the group chat.

Shortly after Cai Xukun left the group chat, Wang Ran turned to Tian Xiwei and asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​I've been observing this 'individual trainee' for a long time, and it seems to be a fan of Caiji. How come a fan of Caiji is in our Imperial Guard group? I don't understand."

As the saying goes, fans follow their idols' lead.

Lu Yunzhou's fans are all profound and elegant.

Cai Xukun's fans, just like him, like to do abstract art. They actually gathered together because of Cai Xukun's abstract art.

How did the same person become a fan of both Cai Xukun and Lu Yunzhou?

One is an abstract eccentric, the other is a top idol in the Chinese entertainment industry with impeccable style.

Doesn't this mean the left and right hemispheres of the brain are fighting each other?

"Xiaotian, do you think it's possible that this 'individual trainee' is actually Noob himself?"

Wang Ran finally realized what was happening.

Several months later, she realized that the way the individual trainees spoke in the group chat seemed somewhat familiar to her.

"I don't think so."

Tian Xiwei smiled awkwardly—Cai Xukun was playing dirty tricks on Wang Ran and was also stirring up trouble in the group chat.

Back when Wang Ran posted photos of herself drinking porridge, the account 【Individual Trainee】was the most active, stirring up trouble on Weibo, saying that they absolutely could not let Wang Ran become their sister-in-law!

Tian Xiwei was incredibly excited at the time.

Wang Ran was beaten away and didn't even have a chance to show affection, so she became Lu Yunzhou's girlfriend in public.

Zhang Ruonan isn't in the entertainment industry, so she can't compete with her for a spot!

Tang Yan is from a nursing home and has already been treated like royalty, so she won't compete with her for Lu Yunzhou's position as his official girlfriend on various occasions.

Only Wang Ran consistently outpaced her.

"What do you mean, 'not'? I can't be wrong, it's definitely him! That tone of voice, he's 100% a noob!"

"What a noob, trying to stir up trouble in my group?"

Wang Ran scrolled through the chat history of the [Individual Trainee], and gradually, she began to have some hallucinations.

It was as if a rooster wearing overalls and with a middle-part hairstyle was waving around in front of me.

Finally, he arrogantly shot the ball right in front of him.

"Useless noob!"

"It really was you!"

"I knew it! How did a photo of me eating porridge cause such a huge uproar? Turns out, you were the one stirring up trouble for me!"

At this moment, Wang Ran felt a tickle in his feet and wished he could kick the phantom in front of him away!

"You noob, just you wait!"

"After 'The Untamed' airs, I'll say you and Fan Chenchen are a match made in heaven, and that you two, the seaweed rice roll couple, will be forever welded together!"

Cai Xukun always boasted that he was a heartthrob, only slightly inferior to Lu Yunzhou.

Wang Ran was determined to show Cai Xukun the reality: the girls he attracted weren't pretty young girls, but all gay men.

When Cai Xukun holds his offline event, all the people who come to watch will be a bunch of round-faced, bearded, chubby Lin Xinrus from Chunxi Road!

Imagine the spectacular scene of Ruby Lin's fans chanting "Kun Kun, I love you" all over Chunxi Road!

Haha.

11 month 6 number.

The core creative team of "The Fairy Castle of Dresden" flew to Foshan to participate in the 27th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the 34th Hundred Flowers Awards.

"The Fairy Castle of Dresden" was nominated for six awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Newcomer!

Lu Yunzhou alone was nominated for both Best Director and Best Actor.

Liu Haocun was nominated for Best Actress.

Tian Xiwei was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer.

Originally, Tian Xiwei was not a contender for Best Supporting Actress.

Zhang Tianai is more popular than her.

However, Zhang Tianai has already been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "The Founding of an Army".

Therefore, the Best Supporting Actress nomination for the movie "The Fairy Castle of Dresden" was given up, allowing Tian Xiwei to benefit from it!

"Big brother, what are my chances of winning Best Supporting Actress?"

Tian Xiwei was quite quick-witted; she noticed that Zhang Tianai received her Best Supporting Actress nomination for "The Founding of an Army," not for "The Fairy Castle of Dresden."

She immediately realized that she had a chance!

There's a lot to consider when choosing which work to be nominated for.

If Zhang Tianai had received her Best Supporting Actress nomination for "The Fairy Castle of Dresden," she would undoubtedly have won the award.

But she is not.

What kind of impression does Zhang Tianai from "The Founding of an Army" leave on people?

almost none.

Therefore, Zhang Tianai is unlikely to win an award this year.

The others were unable to snipe Tian Xiwei.

"Over 80%."

Lu Yunzhou didn't expect the organizers to be so generous this time, making up for all the losses he suffered from the last Golden Rooster Awards in one go.

It is estimated that the organizers were also afraid, and in a fit of anger, Lu Yunzhou went to Italy to paint another Leonardo da Vinci painting. Then, he brought those paintings back to China to participate in the exhibition.

At that time, the judges will continue to be criticized by the entire internet, and even all the dirty deeds they have done in the past will be dug up!

After the Golden Rooster Awards unfairly ousted Lu Yunzhou from the Best New Director award, the scandal involving Teacher Xi and Lin Chong has been widely discussed online.

The entire internet is going crazy over this gossip!

This time, the judges learned their lesson and dared not make any more mistakes.

"Big Brother is awesome!"

Winning the Best Supporting Actress award was an unexpected surprise for Tian Xiwei.

At that moment, Tian Xiwei happily hugged Lu Yunzhou's arm and chuckled, "Thank you for taking care of me, big brother. To express my gratitude, I'll sleep with you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haocun rolled his eyes.

Is this what you call expressing gratitude?

Was this something he said to himself on purpose?

Be sensible and don't knock on Lu Yunzhou's door tonight.

That wretched Xiaotian! She looks so innocent with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she's so scheming? She's much worse than Wang Ran!

"There's a welcome reception tonight, I'll take you there."

The organizers are hosting a welcome dinner tonight, but not everyone is eligible to attend.

Generally, only top directors, company owners, or major producers can receive such invitations.

Lu Yunzhou is certainly qualified to participate.

However, normally, when attending a banquet, one would bring the female lead. But for Lu Yunzhou, he would only bring Tian Xiwei to such banquets.

"Thank you, brother. I'll love you for ten thousand years."

Tian Xiwei chuckled, holding Lu Yunzhou's arm, but her gaze turned and secretly glanced at Liu Haocun.

Liu Haocun's acting skills are indeed good, but he has too many hidden thoughts, unlike me, who is carefree and doesn't have many ulterior motives.

Lu Yunzhou liked straightforward girls like herself the most.

Liu Haocun is indeed a good green tea.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunzhou doesn't like green tea.

After they got off the plane, the organizers arranged a private car to take them to their hotel.

As a renowned director and a top-tier figure in the entertainment industry, Lu Yunzhou was assigned to the best luxury private room on the top floor.

His neighbor is Wu Jing.

The next room was occupied by the director of "Operation Red Sea".

Actors like Tian Xiwei and Liu Haocun were arranged to sit downstairs.

Most of the actors, regardless of their status, lived on the same floor to facilitate unified arrangements by the organizers.

The entertainment industry is indeed clearly divided into classes.

People of different statuses are assigned to different hotel floors; the organizers must have racked their brains to arrange these seating arrangements.

Because some people in the older generation particularly care about the sense of superiority that comes with these identities.

"Brother, everything's done. I even put up a mosquito net for you. There are still mosquitoes in Foshan in November. Luckily, we were prepared."

Lu Yunzhou brought two assistants with him, who arranged a room for him.

The two assistants really went to great lengths to ensure he got a good night's sleep.

After a while, Wu Jing came and knocked on the door, winking at Lu Yunzhou: "Little Boat Brother, do you know who the innermost room is reserved for?"

Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Fang Long?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing made an exaggerated expression: "Damn, how did you guess? Brother Fang Long is the mystery guest. I just got the news myself."

"It's not hard to guess."

Lu Yunzhou shrugged: "Normally, with my current status, I should be staying in the innermost room. The fact that it's deliberately left open means it's reserved for some big shot. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, who has a higher status than me? Only Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon!"

Lu Yunzhou is indeed incredibly famous right now. However, in terms of global influence, Hendrik Willem Van Loon is still stronger.

A kung fu superstar, no exaggeration.

In the African jungle, there might even be people who recognize Hendrik Willem Van Loon.

Lu Yunzhou's influence in Europe and America is indeed very strong among the younger generation, but in the eyes of the older generation, he is certainly not as famous as Hendrik Willem Van Loon.

Besides, Hendrik Willem Van Loon is a senior figure, and showing respect to seniors is a traditional virtue.

"Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon is an international superstar!"

"I am the image ambassador for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards!"

"Little Boat Guy, have you ever thought about why?"

Before Lu Yunzhou could ask, Wu Jing pointed to himself with his thumb: "We are both kung fu superstars, tough guys, and Chinese..."

The iconic image of the film!

"Did you notice anything?"

"Operation Red Sea" won the Best Film award at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

"Wolf Warrior 2" was originally expected to help Wu Jing win the Best Actor award at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

Kung Fu and tough guys are among the themes of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

Lu Yunzhou asked with a smile, "Brother Fang Long, you're not here to present me with an award, are you? The Best Actor award?"

Wu Jing was surprised again: "Holy crap, you could guess that? How is your brain structured?"

Lu Yunzhou guessed correctly!

Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Wu Jing are both kung fu superstars and representatives of Chinese kung fu films.

However, Hendrik Willem Van Loon is old, and Wu Jing is 44 years old.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon represents the older generation of kung fu filmmakers, while Wu Jing represents the middle generation of kung fu filmmakers—but suddenly, the younger generation of kung fu filmmakers has disappeared from the market.

At this critical juncture, Lu Yunzhou suddenly announced that he was going to transform into an action star, and that the "Killer's Shopping Mall" project was ready to start filming at any time.

Lu Yunzhou even asked Wu Jing to help introduce Zhang Jin to be a martial arts instructor.

This shows that he is very serious about taking over the baton of "kung fu superstar" and carrying forward Chinese kung fu movies!

Kung Fu films – this is a unique film genre in China!

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon, Jet Li, and others transformed Chinese kung fu films into a world-renowned film genre—but then, the next generation of filmmakers didn't want to make them anymore?

Everyone felt that filming kung fu movies was too hard!

What do veteran filmmakers like Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Wu Jing think about this?

They will only think that the new generation of young people are not hard-working and are all just pretty faces!

Who knew that in this era of declining martial arts, Lu Yunzhou would suddenly appear.

Wu Jing had always admired Lu Yunzhou. After all, Lu Yunzhou dared to take a bullet for someone—that was the mark of a true tough guy!

Currently, Lu Yunzhou has suddenly changed his mind and wants to become an action star.

This made Wu Jing instantly regard Lu Yunzhou as a confidant.

Rich, talented, and with resources—moreover, Lu Yunzhou didn't even want to be a pampered young master; he was willing to endure hardship to train martial arts with him, preparing to become a kung fu superstar and promote Chinese kung fu films!

If this isn't a true friend, then what is?

Wu Jing was very willing to pass the baton to Lu Yunzhou.

Therefore, he and Hendrik Willem Van Loon will present the Best Actor award to Lu Yunzhou together, which is equivalent to handing over the baton from their hands to Lu Yunzhou!

This is a kind of inheritance!

The legacy of Chinese kung fu films!

Lu Yunzhou himself may not know that he has taken over this baton, and from now on, the entire film and television industry will support him.

Because Chinese kung fu films are not just movies; they are an integral part of Chinese culture!

There's a simple criterion for judging cultural confidence: it's something that doesn't need to be boasted about; when others mention it, they naturally feel that it's incredibly awesome.

For example, Chinese kung fu movies!

Does this need to be blown?

Even the locals in the African jungle know that Chinese kung fu movies are number one in the world!

"Brother Xiao Chuan, everyone in the industry knows you want to be the boss!"

"Now that Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon has personally handed the baton to you, it's tantamount to indirectly acknowledging you as the senior figure in the industry—now, let's see how far and how high you can go!"

Anyway, I believe you!

In Wu Jing's view, Lu Yunzhou has a great advantage over Fang Long.

He is younger, more handsome, and more popular in Europe and America. Moreover, Lu Yunzhou has more substantial financial resources.

As long as Lu Yunzhou can focus on making good kung fu films, the future of Chinese kung fu films lies in Lu Yunzhou!

At this moment, in Hendrik Willem Van Loon's room.

Lin Chaoxian, the director of "Operation Red Sea," stroked his bald head and looked at Fang Long with some doubt: "Brother, the organizers asked you to present the award to Lu Yunzhou? Do you know that if you present him with the award, the media will rave about it, saying that you personally passed the position of 'Big Brother' to him?"

"I know."

Hearing a thick nasal voice, he wandered around the room and saw the gift the organizers had given him when he checked in.

He casually opened the gift box, inside was a Chloe silk scarf.

The silk scarf's smooth texture glided through Hendrik Willem Van Loon's rough hands.

Henri Van Loon remarked, "I recognize this scarf brand. It's been very popular in Hong Kong Island lately. It's a century-old Italian haute couture brand with a sword and rose logo. It's quite expensive; it sells for over HK$3000 at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong Island."

"I heard from a friend that this brand is very popular in Europe this year and has once again become one of the four major high-end luxury brands in Italy. Some people in the fashion industry also said that Kourou has squeezed into the ranks of the six major blue-blooded high-end luxury brands and become the seventh major blue-blooded high-end luxury brand."

"In short, he's incredibly good at business!"

"He's a rich young master who doesn't manage the family business but instead comes to make movies. His pursuit is different from that of ordinary actors."

"If an ordinary actor messes up a performance, at most they'll apologize, but they'll just think, 'I'm just an ordinary person, so it's not my fault I messed up. This is all I'm capable of.'"

"But he's different from other rich kids. He's not the kind of lazy, good-for-nothing playboy; he's ambitious."

"If I were him—I wouldn't have any face if I didn't achieve anything in the film and television industry, and I went home to pay respects to my ancestors during the Lunar New Year!"

"The kind of person he is, values ​​face above all else!"

"I presented him with the Best Actor award, acknowledging him as a leading figure in the domestic entertainment industry—he said he wanted to make a kung fu film, and I believed him and led a team to support him!"

"If he messes up the shoot, he'll be embarrassed when he sees me at the next awards ceremony!"

At this point, Hendrik Willem Van Loon lamented, "Moreover, Hong Kong filmmakers are doing terribly these days. Many stuntmen go to Hollywood to work as stunt doubles or action directors, and they still face discrimination. The job market is terrible."

"If possible, having the brothers work with Director Lu might not be a bad idea!"

"As the eldest brother, if I were to put aside my pride and introduce a new way to make money to my brothers, that would be the last thing I can do for everyone."

The eldest brother truly lives up to his name; his vision is truly exceptional.

These words filled Lin Chaoxian, the director of "Operation Red Sea," with immense admiration.

Seeing that Hendrik Willem Van Loon was determined to promote Lu Yunzhou, director Lin Chaoxian also chimed in with a few words of praise for Lu Yunzhou: "Big Brother is right. Kou Rui is indeed very powerful now!"

"I heard that at Milan Fashion Week, Director Lu used his personal connections to bring in a large group of Middle Eastern princes to support Currie, and they placed an order for 7000 million euros on the spot, putting Dolce & Gabbana under immense pressure!"

"If he's this good at fashion, his movies will definitely be amazing. Maybe he'll throw money at Sylvester Stallone to be his supporting actor."

Director Lin Chaoxian couldn't help but look forward to the scene.
