Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 41: The Peak of Bai Tang's Acting Skills! The Entire Audience is Stunned! Bai Tang Has the Potential of an Award-Winning Actress!

4 hours later.

Episode 6 has finally aired.

At the end of episode 6, the high school student played by Zhang Ruonan is knocked unconscious by the bully played by Dai Si with a single blow.

She fell to the ground, her vision gradually blurring.

Her breathing became rapid and labored, and then she felt her heart begin to beat heavily.

She struggled to stand up, but after a few attempts, she eventually lost her strength.

During the struggle, a box of high blood pressure pills fell out of her bag and landed in the mud.

Rain poured down from the sky.

Drip, drip, splashing onto the box of high blood pressure pills.

That was the medicine she bought for her mother on her way home—a visual element that captures the core of the mother-daughter relationship in the entire series.

The torrential rain kept washing over the box of high blood pressure pills, as if it were also washing over the hearts of all the viewers.

A few seconds later, the world before Zhang Ruonan's eyes became blurry and distorted.

"Mother----"

A soft murmur, like shattering glass.

The two-word line instantly turned the mood of all the viewers into an extremely bad one.

An indescribable pain and repression permeated their hearts.

Life is so fragile.

A beautiful girl, as lovely as an angel, died right before their eyes, leaving everyone with an indescribable sense of regret.

This is the aesthetics of tragedy.

First, the female protagonist is portrayed as flawless, and then she is quietly shattered. This creates endless regret in people's hearts, as well as an urgent desire to undo the regret.

"what!"

The scene switches back to the [Reincarnation Library].

Tang Yan opened her eyes, her head covered in sweat, her eyes bloodshot, her teeth clenched, and tears fell silently, leaving two scratches on her pained face.

At that moment, she clenched her fists, her whole body trembling, ignoring the fact that her huge black-rimmed glasses had slipped off her nose, and let out a hysterical scream.

Tang Yan, in a state of utter distress, lunged at the Grim Reaper played by Lu Yunzhou, but was blocked by an invisible barrier, looking like a fly struggling inside a glass bottle.

"Do you feel pain?"

"I haven't even come looking for you, and you dare to choose suicide!"

"Your punishment has only just begun."

Lu Yunzhou took another copy of "The Book of Life and Death" from the bookshelf with one hand, turned a page gently, paused for a moment, turned his chin slightly by 15 degrees, and glanced at Tang Yan out of the corner of his eye.

His tone was icy, condescending like a god, judging the character of Tang Yan.

Lu Yunzhou's face appeared lifeless, but through his tone, the audience could sense a raging rage hidden within his chest.

"Next episode!"

"Put on the next episode already!"

The entire audience was stirred by this emotion; they wanted to know what other tricks Death's punishment might have up his sleeve.

In this episode, they truly felt pain from the depths of their souls.

Zhang Ruonan's portrayal of the delicate high school student, a pure and innocent little angel, brought a lot of sunshine to everyone.

They all wanted to see a turnaround in Zhang Ruonan and her mother's relationship after Zhang Ruonan's successful college entrance examination.

Because this is a truly supportive family.

The mother is loving and the daughter is filial; even in adversity, the two support each other.

Everyone wants to see them have a happy ending.

Who knew that death would be so merciless, still ending the life of Zhang Ruonan's character.

At this moment, the audience realized that Tang Ruyi had a next life and could go back to make up for everything, and a sense of urgent anxiety welled up in their hearts.

"there is none left."

The secretary checked the video library and found that it was the last episode; all six episodes had already been played.

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed softly, filled with regret.

"This show is truly captivating."

"Each episode is a unit consisting of two episodes. The first episode tells the story of the original owner, and Tang Ruyi's time travel is inserted in the middle. The second episode unfolds the entire storyline, and then it ends abruptly at the end. The Grim Reaper and the original Tang Ruyi reappear and give clues for the next episode."

"Although it is a cyclical episodic drama, you can still get a sense that these stories are connected to each other."

"There's a very subtle feeling."

"I really want people to know what the ending will be like."

Even some of the top executives at Kiwifruit wanted to know how the finale of the show would be presented.

At that moment, they realized that the show's completion rate must be very high.

After watching the first few episodes, they were captivated by something strange and felt compelled to watch until the very end.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to Tang Ruyi, who had suffered so much at the hands of death.

The lights in the screening room came back on, and after a few seconds of silence, applause began to erupt.

"Teacher Tang, you acted so well."

Mr. Ma clapped lightly, and the other vice presidents and senior executives, realizing what was happening, also began to clap.

Based on the first six episodes, they have full confidence in the quality of this drama.

Mr. Ma glanced at Tang Yan with surprise. In his impression, Tang Yan's acting skills were mediocre, but as a popular celebrity, Mr. Ma couldn't ask for too much.

After all, apart from Zhao Liying, the other actresses born in 85 are all of average talent and rely entirely on mutual criticism and hype to maintain their popularity.

But based on her acting in at least the first six episodes of this drama, Tang Yan is definitely qualified to compete for Best Actress next year.

"Teacher Tang's acting is phenomenal."

After praising Lu Yunzhou, Mr. Ma got up and asked his secretary to book a hotel. The hotel was almost booked, but after learning that Lu Yunzhou liked Italian food, he immediately changed the hotel.

We must make Lu Yunzhou feel at home.

At this moment, other executives came over and greeted Tang Yan warmly.

Although the platform now has money, resources, and a team, good actors will always be a scarce commodity in this industry.

Especially for a popular celebrity like Tang Yan, even when she didn't have much acting skill, everyone would vie to work with her, hoping to use her popularity to promote a promising newcomer that the platform favored.

After all, Tang Yan's popularity could fade at any time, and her acting skills are clearly unlikely to improve in this lifetime.

The platform invites these popular celebrities in the hope that they will use their popularity to support talented and promising newcomers, replacing the veterans with newcomers.

This is something that all platforms, and even all companies, do.

However, the executives at Monkey Fruit never expected that Tang Yan would undergo a complete transformation in this drama, becoming a super-powerful actress.

In the previous episodes, especially the last scene of episode 6, Tang Yan's performance was absolutely phenomenal, worthy of an award-winning actress.

Those with real ability will always be respected, no matter where they go. This is a fundamental code written into our genes during the process of human evolution.

Respect for the strong.

"Mr. Tang, I feel you'd be perfect for directing suspense dramas. I have a project on hand; how about we chat sometime?"

"Teacher Tang, I recently heard that Zhejiang TV is preparing a variety show called 'The Birth of an Actor.' You could totally be a mentor, Teacher Tang."

"Teacher Tang, with your acting skills, you could totally star in a female-centric drama. I think it would do well at the box office, especially in a suspense or crime film. It would be much better than Yang Mi's performance in 'The Witness'."

It's hard to tell whether the compliments from these executives were genuine or not.

Tang Yan couldn't understand it at all.

But she vaguely sensed that her image in the eyes of these people had changed.

She felt a genuine respect from them.

Unlike before, when those people were very polite to me, there was always a hint of contempt in their eyes.

After all, these people are either graduates of prestigious universities or technical experts who have won many awards in the industry.

In addition, these people control the platform's resources.

To expect these people to respect me, a pretty face who only attracts attention, is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Popular celebrities may seem glamorous in the entertainment industry, but in reality, they can't afford to offend anyone.

The director? You have to respect him. What if he makes a bad film of you? You'll look terrible on screen.

The producer? This is the big boss who controls the money. If he doesn't like me, he can kill me at any time.

The platform? That's the big spender. If the platform doesn't like you, who will you sell your shows to?

Reporters? They're the uncrowned kings. If they don't like you, they'll publish dirt on you every day. How can you survive like that?

In short, while celebrities may appear glamorous, they have to be extremely cautious in their daily work. They basically have to exchange pleasantries with everyone they encounter.

"Teacher Tang, I'll toast you a few times later. Thank you for your wonderful performance. If nothing unexpected happens, this drama will definitely be a bombshell in the first quarter of next year, blowing up the entire internet."

The marketing director of the kiwi fruit company also attended the screening, and she already had several marketing plans in mind.

Based on the quality of this drama alone, it is comparable to the top-tier annual CCTV dramas, let alone today's online dramas.

But Lu Yunzhou only spent a mere 8000 million.

A comparison will make it clear.

Tang Yan's upcoming historical drama, "The Princess Weiyoung," has a production cost of 1.5 million yuan. Aside from costumes and props, in what aspect can it compare to "Lu Yunzhou"?

The lighting effects, the editing and soundtrack, the story framework—if this were a film, it could be submitted directly to the three major European film festivals for a ranking competition.

She had already figured out how to attract investment for this drama, so that those businessmen would fight tooth and nail for it.

"Sister Xiangjun, thank you for your compliment."

Both being women, the marketing director of Monkey Fruit is only two or three years older than Tang Yan, yet she can easily control Tang Yan's fate.

Receiving praise from others is not an easy thing.

Since the other party had said that, Tang Yan knew in her heart that the sponsorship of this drama would definitely exceed her expectations.

"Teacher Tang, I'm still a little curious, how did you manage to portray that deep-seated pain?"

"Honestly, I really felt your soul tremble when you let out that final roar. That emotional transmission is truly amazing."

Marketing Director Xiangjun couldn't understand how Tang Yan had suddenly changed.

"Sister Xiangjun, this is my secret. Secrets make women more charming."

Tang Yan winked at Marketing Director Xiang Jun, but offered no explanation.

This is a secret within the production crew; she can't tell anyone.

Because she couldn't portray that feeling of despair and pain, Lu Yunzhou cruelly had that brat Zhang Ruonan come over and stomp on her foot.

After stomping on her foot, the entire crew sped up work, with everyone watching her.

At that moment, Tang Yan felt like the most pitiful person in the world.

They are even more pitiful than beggars.

Because beggars at least have people who sympathize with them, but no one sympathized with her; everyone was just watching her make a fool of herself.

The desperate scream that Tang Yan delivered at that moment, along with her red eyes and trembling lips, were all genuine.

That damned Lu Yunzhou!

I've been so good to you, and this is how you treat me on set?

Although more than a month has passed since the incident, Tang Yan can still faintly feel that her toes are a little sore.

However, this show is really good.

Tang Yan accepted being stepped on.

"This project is good."

"Tang Yan acted well, and director Lu Yunzhou is also very talented, directing and acting in his own film."

"The company is poised for a great start in 2016."

The executives from the kiwifruit company left chatting and laughing, discussing the release date of the drama and various top-tier promotional resources.

In addition to the company platform, should we allocate some additional budget for post-production and marketing?

Because, judging from the current situation, this drama has the potential to break into a wider audience.

"Brother, my dear brother! You're simply my god. How can you take such great photos? I absolutely adore you."

After the kiwi fruit staff had all left, Tang Yan deliberately lagged behind. Seeing that no one was around, she couldn't help but reach out and roughly rub Lu Yunzhou's face.

She really wanted to hold that face in her arms.

Although the short film "Dream" was very well made, it was only three minutes long, leaving Tang Yan feeling a little unsatisfied.

However, the series "The Day Is Coming" has a total of 24 episodes.

Tang Yan watched the entire six-episode sample episode from beginning to end, and her admiration and respect for Lu Yunzhou reached its peak.

She knows very well what level her acting skills are at.

I never imagined someone could capture her acting so brilliantly. Especially the nuanced and layered performance.

What has happened here?

She didn't appear very often; aside from the opening scene of the first episode, almost all of her scenes were filmed in that library.

But she could easily sense that her emotions were different each time.

"Canon, repeated again and again, only changes the placement of the vocal parts slightly."

"You figured it out, didn't you?"

"By changing the light and shadow, along with adjusting the narrative rhythm, you can make your acting appear very layered."

"Just a little trick."

'

"Has no one ever filmed like this with you before?"

For Lu Yunzhou, this was a little trick.

But for Tang Yan, the fact that the director was willing to put so much effort into her made her feel incredibly flattered.

This is definitely a form of favoritism.

Talented men are so handsome.

Unfortunately, this man wasn't very interested in her.

Otherwise, she would definitely have shown Lu Yunzhou tonight just how far she could go for a man once she was in love.

"Stay put by my side tonight and don't wander off. Kiwi Island has lots of beautiful hosts; they'll go crazy for you once they find out what's going on here."

Even though this man doesn't belong to me, it shouldn't matter if I roll up my sleeves, right?

Tang Yan was overjoyed today. Ignoring Lu Yunzhou's objections, she went up and grabbed his arm, forcefully declaring that the male lead was hers.

"Sister Tangtang, does your foot still hurt?"

As they were leaving, Lu Yunzhou noticed that Tang Yan's walking posture seemed a little awkward, so he couldn't help but ask her a question.

"It doesn't hurt anymore. I should thank you for letting Xiaonan step on my foot. It allowed me to reach the peak of my acting skills."

Tang Yan smiled and shook her head. In such a joyous occasion, tears can only be swallowed; how could she tell others?

Kiwi fruit, CEO's office.

Marketing Director Xiangjun, a confidante of Mr. Gong, the owner of the kiwi fruit business, reported back immediately after reviewing the sample videos.

"Boss, the six-episode sample episodes of the project that Mr. Ma insisted on working on, 'The Day of Death Is Coming,' have arrived. The quality is excellent, definitely S+ level. It's on par with CCTV's top-rated dramas."

"Mr. Ma is a master at producing variety shows. His only weakness is that he has a slightly weaker grasp on film and television projects."

"But now, Mr. Ma has come up with the 'Death Is Coming' project. After the show airs, the other directors on the board should try to persuade Mr. Ma to stay."

Xiangjun's question is, should we change the personnel appointment plan?

Wang Xiaohui, who will soon succeed Mr. Ma, will be in charge of film and television projects, while Mr. Ma will continue to be in charge of variety shows.

The two of them each did their own thing.

We must at least try to retain Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma has truly made outstanding contributions to the company this time. It makes no sense to discard him now that he's done his bidding.

"It's too late to try and stop them now."

"Moreover, Lao Ma has his own plans. He's almost finished making arrangements and will open a content production company outside, becoming his own boss, specializing in producing variety shows."

"How about this, to thank Lao Ma for his contributions to the company over the years, we can relax the terms of the content licensing agreement we signed with his company a little."

Mr. Gong didn't want to make things too ugly.

Because at their level, every single thing they do is watched by countless people both inside and outside the industry.

Face is very important.

They will only become completely shameless when they are at their wits' end.

However, kiwifruit is clearly not at that stage yet.

"The boss is brilliant."

Seeing that the boss had made a decision, Xiangjun said nothing more.

Her next task is to figure out how to win over Lu Yunzhou, the top director.

With a top-notch director like this, wouldn't it be easy to promote as many popular stars as Tang Yan as you want?

After watching the six sample episodes, she was absolutely certain that Zhang Ruonan was going to become a star.

Filming location of "Hot Girl".

"Dilraba, filming for this drama wraps up tomorrow, so get ready."

Dilraba's agent, Sister Gong, showed her her upcoming schedule.

After filming "Hot Girl", Dilraba didn't have time to rest at all and had to rush to the next film set.

"21 Carats" is adapted from the stage play of the same name and is the third installment in director He Nian's "Three Lives Three Worlds Love Trilogy".

Besides Dilraba Dilmurat, the main cast also includes Guo Jingfei, Bao Beier, and Da Peng. Just looking at the cast, it's already quite impressive.

This is the best project Dilraba could get.

It's still a film project.

From this perspective, the company has indeed treated Dilraba very well.

"Reba, here, have a piece of cheese to replenish your energy."

Just as Dilraba was packing her things in the hotel, Dai Si knocked on the door and came in, smiling as he pinched Dilraba's cheek and then gave her a piece of yogurt snack.

With Dai Si intentionally getting close to her, and since there was no longer any competition between them, Reba was willing to be friends with Dai Si.

After all, they were from the same hometown and worked for the same company, and Dai Si was so enthusiastic, she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Having eaten their food, Dilraba casually asked, "Sister Dai Si, about the drama you filmed, 'The Day Is Coming'?"

When will it be released? Post-production should be almost finished, right?

"It's probably being prepared for the New Year's Day performance, to be the opening act of the year and make a great start."

While eating a piece of cheese, Dai Si said innocently, "Xiao Nan told me yesterday that after watching the six episodes of the sample episodes, Mr. Ma from Kiwi was almost ecstatic and treated our Boss Lu to an Italian feast."

"Those female hosts from the kiwi company were trying every trick in the book to toast our Master Lu at the banquet—luckily, Sister Tangtang blocked a lot of them, otherwise, our Master Lu would definitely have been picked up by some little bitch last night."

"If that were the case, Xiao Nan would probably be so angry that she would transform into Ultraman and destroy the Earth."

In the TV series, Dai Si played Zhang Ruonan's mortal enemy, and even killed Zhang Ruonan's character with a single blow.

In reality, however, because she was not very cunning and was handpicked by Lu Yunzhou to be a little dim-witted, she became the object of care for the entire crew.

Zhang Ruonan also knew that Dai Si might transition into an action star and become the female lead's bodyguard and best friend, providing her with the most physical strength.

In short, Dai Si is a good tool.

Moreover, if you look closely, there really aren't many qualified female action stars in the entertainment industry.

Dai Si, this "tool person," might become quite sought after in the future.

So, without Lu Yunzhou's instructions, Zhang Ruonan and Dai Si became good friends. In the future, if Lu Yunzhou needed anything, she could help him by using his connections.

"Was that show of very high quality?"

Dilraba asked in a low voice.

For some reason, she felt a sour taste in her mouth.

This drama had nothing to do with her. But when she thought about how Lu Yunzhou's invitation had been handed to her first, she couldn't help but feel regretful.

"It's exceptionally good. Everyone says it's movie-quality."

"Assistant director Wu Xiaoqiang, who's always acting like a lackey, praises our Master Lu as a youthful version of Chen Kaige, saying his understanding of the art of light and shadow is absolutely top-tier in China."

When Lu Yunzhou was mentioned, Dai Si immediately switched to praise mode, his face filled with admiration.

But soon, she realized she might have said something wrong and began to shake her head: "No, no. It can't be called movie-level either. The movies our company makes don't seem to have much artistic lighting; they just use a lot of bright white light."

"Anyway, Dilraba, you know what I mean, right?"

What do I know?

Are you trying to mislead me?

Dilraba has filmed two movies with the company so far, "Fall in Love Like a Star" and "Pride and Prejudice". The lighting effects in these two movies use the "big white light" that Dai Si mentioned.

Using techniques from television dramas to make movies results in a complete lack of charm.

And as it turns out, this approach didn't resonate with the audience.

Film is the art of light and shadow—a truth proven by countless people, yet some directors refuse to believe it.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you now. You'll understand once you watch the show."

At this moment, Dai Si exudes an air of invincibility born of detachment from desire.

Because she had no expectations of the company, she didn't need to flatter Dilraba or care about Yang Mi's opinion of her.

She doesn't care if the company blacklists her.

She had already clung to Lu Yunzhou's leg.

Lu Yunzhou explicitly told her that as long as she transitioned to acting, he would definitely look for her for any good roles in the future!

Yang Mi Studio.

"Sister Honey, we spent half a month promoting the movie across the country, but the results seem to be just so-so. Compared to Tiny Times, the movie 'Fall in Love Like a Star' is far inferior."

The agent explained the situation to Yang Mi.

The movie "Fall in Love Like a Star" was clearly designed to make money, and everyone knows that. But now that fans aren't buying it, it's a bit frustrating.

"Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Seeing Yang Mi's sour expression, her agent continued, "They sent us an invitation to the ELLE Style Awards on the 18th. Sister Mi, are you going?"

Yang Mi tapped the table lightly with her fingers, then looked up at her manager: "Silly Sugar, is she going?"

"have no idea."

The agent shook his head: "On the 12th, 'The Princess Weiyoung' starts filming in Hengdian. Tang Yan should be filming on set. This drama is invested in by her own company, and she is the lead actress, so she probably can't get away."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi decisively said, "Then I'll go."

The agent circled something on the schedule and then asked, "The National Drama Awards on the 19th, and the Hunan TV New Year's Eve Concert on the 31st. They've both invited us. Honey, are you going?"

Yang Mi was suddenly in a dilemma.

"I'll definitely be at the National Drama Awards, Sha Baitang."

"Since Sha Baitang has collaborated with Hunan TV on several dramas this year, she will most likely attend Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert."

"No, I can't meet her. I can't give her the chance to laugh at me!"

"Reject them all."

"Let's go to the ELLE Style Awards!"

On the other side, the screening of "The Day Is Coming" has just ended, and many people are already bursting with excitement and starting to brag about it.

The industry has already heard some rumors.

At the same time, official promotional activities for kiwifruit were launched simultaneously.

They tested the waters by first releasing clips of Zhang Ruonan, leveraging her recent status as one of the top ten campus beauties in the country.

Riding the wave of popularity surrounding the top ten campus beauties in the country, Zhang Ruonan officially announced her participation in "The Day Is Coming," playing the female lead in one of the unit dramas.

Her character in the drama is like a broken jasmine flower, quietly blooming in the wind and rain.

This 30-second promotional video, through the promotional resources of kiwifruit, has already begun to circulate on major online platforms.

Yang Mi keenly sensed the danger.

Zhang Ruonan is just a new actress in Tang Yan's studio, yet Kiwi has spent so many resources promoting her?

It's foreseeable how much resources Kiwi will invest in Tang Yan, the actual female lead, when this drama is finally airing.

Yang Mi would never fight a battle against adversity!

Hengdian.

The cast and crew of "The Princess Weiyoung".

After the screening, Tang Yan immediately returned to the film set to continue filming.

However, as a popular celebrity, Tang Yan received many invitations at the end of the year, and she couldn't possibly turn them all down.

The agent pushed a bunch of offers in front of Tang Yan: "Tangtang, you choose one, which one?"

Tang Yan stared at the pile of invitations, lightly tapped the corner of her lips with her finger, and her eyes flashed with the shrewdness unique to girls from Shanghai.

"My friend definitely won't go to the National Drama Awards. Because she thinks I might go. Because I have a chance of winning an award."

"My friend definitely won't be going to Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert. I have a lot of collaborations with Hunan TV this year, and if I go, I'll definitely be in the center position. My friend is so shrewd, she won't give me a chance to step on her."

"The ELLE Style Awards — I'm not really close to them. My friend guessed that I probably wouldn't go."

"I'm going to do the opposite—that's it!"

"Oh, right, let's invite our Master Lu to come along."

"Let's make our Lu Ye (Master Lu) seduce Old Mi (Lao Mi). Let her see him but not touch him, and be unable to get close to him—just enough to drive her crazy!"

Women are all vengeful.

But in the past, Tang Yan couldn't win an argument with Yang Mi, nor could she write a better article to criticize Yang Mi. She had no choice but to endure it.

Otherwise, in a fit of anger, he might expose his true incompetence, which would be even more embarrassing.

But now, she has nuclear weapons, which, although unusable, can be used to intimidate others.

"Yunzhou may not go crazy with you."

Ji Rujing felt that Tang Yan was becoming more and more childish. She didn't seem like a 32-year-old at all, but rather like a three-year-old child, always trying to compete with her girlfriends.

"Our Master Lu may seem cold on the surface, but he can be quite easy to talk to at times."

In front of Ji Rujing, Tang Yan called Lu Yunzhou, deliberately using a high-pitched, sweet voice, and said, "Brother, I need your help with something. You'll definitely help me, right?"

Lu Yunzhou was speechless after hearing this: "Sister Tangtang, just say what you need to say. Don't talk to me like Xiaonan. Isn't that childish?"

Don't worry about whether it's childish or not.

Just tell me if it works or not?

Tang Yan smiled smugly at Ji Rujing, then said seriously, "Come with me to a fashion gala in a couple of days. Our drama is about to air, and as the male and female leads, we need to maximize our exposure and gain more public favor. This is all real money."

"This is a serious matter."

Lu Yunzhou stopped refusing and nodded, saying, "Send me the schedule. I'll arrange the work."

"immediately."

Tang Yan was overjoyed to hear that Lu Yunzhou had agreed.

At that time, she would take Lu Yunzhou's sleeve and casually greet Yang Mi and Uncle Liu from afar, saying, "What a coincidence!"

She could almost picture how sour Yang Mi's face would look.

Haha.

Yang Mi Studio.

The next morning.

Yang Mi's agent contacted her again: "Sister Mi, the ELLE Style Awards have confirmed our schedule. They sent us the guest list for that evening."

-

Yang Mi casually took it and glanced at it. A moment later, her face darkened instantly.

"Silly Sugar, what's she doing here?"

Yang Mi is truly convinced.

She turned down the National Drama Awards and Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert just to avoid Tang Yan.

Unfortunately, in the most unlikely place, we ran into Tang Yan again!

Moreover, Tang Yan brought Lu Yunzhou, a rising new director, along with her, clearly to show off in front of me.

"Silly Sugar, you insist on doing this, don't you?"

There was no escaping it, so Yang Mi gritted her teeth and said, "Find me that low-cut evening dress—I'm going to outshine Silly Sugar again!"
