Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 52 Dimensional Reduction Attack! Da Vinci's Perspective Method Used for Promotional Photos! Foreshadowing of My Best Friend's Marital Crisis

The Monza circuit was built in 1922 and is the third oldest circuit in the world.

Besides F1 races, this track also hosts various GT challenges, the World Touring Car Championship, and various rally races throughout the year.

Capitalism does not support idlers.

Of course, we can't let this sector, which has received so much investment, sit idle.

Besides being used for racing, the Monza circuit has long since become a famous tourist attraction. As long as you are willing to pay, you can rent any kind of car and take any kind of car to the track.

"Sis, what's going on? Are they not letting us in?"

Naza spent a few days in Milan with her agent, but gradually grew tired of it, mainly because the sunglasses and baseball cap she bought at a luxury store were stolen last night.

They called the police.

However, since there were no injuries or fatalities, the police didn't care at all.

According to the translation, this kind of thing happens far too often in Milan, and the police simply can't handle it all.

The thief was also very careful, only stealing things and not hurting anyone.

Even thieves have their code of honor.

What upset Nazha the most was that the thief didn't take any of the designer bags and clothes she bought, as if he didn't care about them.

I took her sunglasses, baseball cap, and scarf!

These items were her favorite things she bought on this trip—I must say, the thieves in Milan have a really sharp eye.

Her enthusiasm for the trip was greatly dampened, and Nazha gradually began to think about work.

Lu Yunzhou invited her to experience the Silverstone Circuit in the UK in half a month. Nazha wanted to make a good impression on Lu Yunzhou in order to prepare in advance.

Therefore, she decided to come to the Monza circuit first to experience it firsthand, and at the same time find a good guide or coach so that she could experience what it's like to be a race car driver.

At the very least, when Lu Yunzhou asked her questions, she wouldn't be completely clueless.

However, when Nazha, her manager, and her assistant arrived, they discovered that they couldn't go off the track that day.

"Audi has booked the entire track for a promotional event. It seems a high-level partner has arrived. In any case, the visitor area is unaffected, but it looks like they can't go off the track today."

The agent found out the situation and told Nazha that if she wanted to go to the track, she could only come back in two days.

Today, let's learn about the history of the Monza circuit and the rules of various motorsport competitions.

There will be a dedicated tour guide to explain things.

Naza can listen to the stories of legendary cyclists, tour the race control center and press conference area, or enjoy the scenery by bicycle in the park area around the track.

"What does this mean?"

Naza was speechless.

She just wanted to experience the real racing atmosphere on a professional track.

"Sister, I'm sorry."

Naza knew that this was not the manager's fault, and apologized for her tone earlier.

"I've found out!"

Just then, the assistant rushed over, excitedly saying, "It's Director Lu. He's here for an event today. Audi has booked the entire track and brought over a lot of drivers to give him all sorts of experiences."

Upon hearing this, Nazha's face immediately lit up with admiration.

The agent's eyes lit up, and he quickly contacted Lu Yunzhou's agent, Ji Rujing. Ji Rujing then sent over Zhang Ruonan's contact information.

Naza and her group waited outside for about 20 minutes.

They saw a petite and adorable little girl wearing a thick black down jacket, looking like a big penguin from afar, waving at them from a distance.

"My brother asked me to pick you up."

Zhang Ruonan noticed Nazha immediately.

The famous beauty queen of Beijing Film Academy caused a national sensation with just one picture when the academy was recruiting students.

Zhang Ruonan had to admit that Nazha's real appearance was indeed very striking. Even as a girl, she felt a little breathless when she first saw Nazha.

"elder brother?"

Nazha was momentarily stunned by Zhang Ruonan's way of addressing Lu Yunzhou.

The agent, standing nearby, quickly and quietly explained, "She's an artist from Tang Yan's studio. Her school isn't far from Director Lu's mother's company, and she visits Director Lu's mother every few days to pay her respects. The old lady treats her like her own daughter."

"The Day of Death is Coming" was her debut work. She didn't have many scenes, but it was obvious to everyone that Director Lu put a lot of effort into her segment.

It's easy for industry insiders to tell how much effort a director puts into the characters of a film.

Of the 12 episodes in "The Day Is Coming," apart from the final episode, Lu Yunzhou put the most effort into the episode featuring Zhang Ruonan.

Various lighting and shadow techniques, as well as different camera languages, were used to create memorable scenes for the character Zhang Ruonan.

And facts have proven this.

Zhang Ruonan gained some popularity with this role, and for a time, she became the most beloved actress among countless middle-aged and elderly women!

"So it was someone with connections."

Nazha immediately understood that Zhang Ruonan was someone she needed to curry favor with.

In an instant, Nazha knew what to say and went up to Zhang Ruonan, taking her hand: "Little sister, you are so cute."

"Director Lu must really like you, right?"

"hey-hey."

Recently, Zhang Ruonan has been deeply in love, which has lowered her IQ considerably. The smile on her face almost gave away her relationship with Lu Yunzhou.

However, given Nazha's intelligence, she wouldn't have noticed anything.

She thought that Zhang Ruonan, as a young girl, was somewhat vain because she was pampered by her big-name director brother.

This is perfectly normal.

If it were her, she'd be strutting around like crazy.

Naza's agent and assistant didn't think too much about it, because all they knew was that Zhang Ruonan and Lu Yunzhou's families had a very close relationship.

Firstly, we're from the same hometown.

Secondly, during her time at school, Zhang Ruonan would frequently visit Lu Yunzhou's home to pay her respects. The old lady was very fond of Zhang Ruonan.

Lu Yunzhou seems to be a very filial person. I heard that he gave his first earnings directly to his mother.

If the old lady were to suggest that Lu Yunzhou give Zhang Ruonan a compliment, it would be perfectly reasonable.

"Sister Nazha, my brother said there will be three important female characters in this movie. One of them is a career partner who grows up alongside the protagonist, and that role is reserved for Sister Tangtang."

"The other one is a first love, like a white moonlight, whose smile is full of healing power, so that when the protagonist is in a low point or experiencing setbacks, just thinking of that smile will rekindle his fighting spirit. My brother said that this role is reserved for me."

"In addition, we need a distinctive female supporting character who can leave a lasting impression on the audience even in just a few scenes, a key figure in the main theme's harmony, and a strategist who provides the protagonist with various tactics. This character needs to appear extremely intelligent —"

Does he have to look very intelligent?

Naza immediately took a deep breath, raised her neck slightly, and frowned slightly, imagining herself with her intelligence fully activated.

But the manager beside her had already covered her forehead, her brows furrowed deeply: "Nazha, playing a strategist? Is that even believable? Is Director Lu playing us for fools?"

If Gulnazar plays a decorative role, it's absolutely a natural fit for her.

Playing a strategist? Are you kidding me?

But Nazha's appearance is indeed distinctive.

The agent couldn't imagine how Lu Yunzhou planned to portray the character for Nazha—but the project was said to require a high investment, at least 200 million yuan, and Lu Yunzhou probably wouldn't joke around with 200 million yuan.

Lu Yunzhou and Audi Italy CEO Stadler were sitting in a VIP box at a high vantage point, overlooking the racetrack below.

-

Audi's GT race car is being tested on the track.

"Road, this is our secret weapon for the new season. What do you think? Isn't it super cool?"

Stadler poured Lu Yunzhou a glass of red wine, and the two stood in front of the huge glass window, looking down at the track below.

Next to them was the team's engineer, a former F1 test driver.

If the two had any questions, the team's engineer would provide an explanation. Although the engineer was somewhat annoyed, wondering what right some laymen had to interfere with his team's decisions.

But considering this was the big spender, he could only put on a formulaic smile.

During this period, the entire team was in a state of panic. Rumors began to circulate within the team.

Audi plans to cut most of its racing spending after the season ends.

Because Audi is preparing to enter the electric vehicle industry. The era of roaring engines seems to be coming to an end.

He hoped to perform well in front of the two major sponsors and that Audi headquarters would give more consideration to the century-old racing culture and not give up so easily.

"The rhythm is off."

"It's going to fly away."

Suddenly, Lu Yunzhou looked at the race cars below, as if he had foreseen something.

The next moment, the car on the track swayed a few times while going around a corner, suddenly went off the track, and circled on the grass.

At this moment, Steid, who was swirling his wine glass, and the team's engineer couldn't help but look at Lu Yunzhou.

The engineer was extremely surprised: "Mr. Lu, you can see that?"

Actually, he had just noticed that the car was making a mistake in its line selection when cornering, and that it braked a meter too late.

If it were a previous generation race car, it should be able to be controlled.

But this generation of race cars has a much more powerful engine, and if the braking point is even one meter too slow, it's very difficult to recover. The most likely outcome is that the car will go off the track, but it should be able to stop on the grass.

The facts were pretty much as he predicted.

However, how could Lu Yunzhou, a complete layman, possibly see that?

"This feeling is hard to describe."

Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "Just now, that car drove past me. Based on its speed and the rhythm of my braking, I could almost see where it would appear next."

Lu Yunzhou was very clear that this was the change that "Eagle King Vision" had brought to him.

When a falcon hunts in the sky, it swoops down from high altitude. The prey will not stand still and wait for it to pounce, but will constantly move around and run wildly on the ground.

The reason why eagles and falcons can hunt so easily is because of their dynamic vision and their ability to predict the various movements of their prey.

The most crucial thing is————

Lu Yunzhou could almost feel the driver's emotional changes as he shifted gears and braked in the car just a moment ago.

This gave him an excellent visual experience.

It was as if, at that moment, he was that driver—he could actually experience that perspective? It was a very unique feeling.

Next, Lu Yunzhou predicted several more situations that might occur during the race.

For example, when braking, the force is too strong, and it's not the optimal angle for entering the corner.

For example, if the engine sound rhythm is wrong, the straight-line acceleration will be slightly slower than the previous car.

As for how much slower, Lu Yunzhou had no experience.

But he could intuitively sense that this car was slightly slower than the one above. Because the rhythm was off.

"0.05 seconds?"

"Mr. Lu, you can even sense such a subtle difference?"

Mr. Stadler stared at Lu Yunzhou in disbelief, then burst into laughter: "Lu, you're just like Cheng himself!"

The team engineer next to Lu Yunzhou looked thoughtful, then showered him with flattery: "Mr. Lu, the company has excellent foresight in inviting you to be the brand ambassador for the second-generation Audi R8!"

"I believe this car will be a huge hit in China!"

The second-generation Audi R8 was launched in Europe last November and sells four to five hundred units per month.

It is not yet available in China and North America.

Lu Yunzhou's top-of-the-line Audi R8 was shipped from Europe; there are fewer than 10 such cars in the entire Shanghai area.

辆。

Therefore, this car looks extremely cool when it appears on the road.

Now, many people online know that Lu Yunzhou drives his supercar every day from near the opera academy to work in Songjiang.

Some positive news stories even use Lu Yunzhou as an example, saying that he drives a limited edition supercar worth millions and still works nine to five every day. What reason do we have not to work hard?

"The road, our race car is very elegant."

"I have a suggestion. When you're making this movie, how about we do more close-up shots of our race cars from different angles? What do you think?"

The Audi marketing director is the uncle of the young Stadler standing before us.

He was willing to do more publicity work for Audi on behalf of his elders.

As long as his uncle can firmly hold onto this position as the head of the publicity board, his position as president of the Italian region will be rock solid.

"Mr. Stadler, you may be good at marketing, but you clearly don't understand film."

Lu Yunzhou shook his head slightly.

Stadler did not object, but instead adopted a listening posture.

Lu Yunzhou continued, "When audiences enter a movie theater, they are watching racing, but we can't just show them racing cars directly. That wouldn't be a movie; it would be an Audi product manual."

Steidl couldn't help but chuckle.

If it were just an Audi product manual, viewers could easily read it online for free; there's no need to buy a ticket to the cinema.

"Regardless of the subject matter, a good drama film always portrays the joys and sorrows of humanity."

"Racing is just a shell."

"What we've done is use this metal box to demonstrate just how precise and rational a human being can be."

"The G-force of a race car, engine speed, tire temperature—these are not just simple data on the surface, but powerful weapons to stir up the emotions of the audience."

At this point, Lu Yunzhou turned to the team engineer beside him: "Tom, what do you think?"

For a driver, the driver himself is of course more valuable than the car.

Racing is just a tool.

The driver is the soul of the race.

If a group of driverless race cars were circling on a track, how many people would watch?

Spectators come to watch racing not for the performance of the cars, but for the competition between the drivers.

Humans will always see human stories.

"Mr. Lu, although I haven't seen your movies yet, I believe this will be a good one."

The team engineer, in any case, adhered to one principle: no matter what Lu Yunzhou and Steider said today, he would just stand by and flatter them.

But he said it from the bottom of his heart.

Just then, the engineer received some information. He nodded slightly, then smiled at Lu Yunzhou and said, "Mr. Lu, the vehicle testing is over, and the track is now clear. Would you like to try out the GT3 version of the R8? It's a true thug in a suit."

"good!"

Lu Yunzhou doesn't actually like driving fast because it's disrespectful to his own life, but this is a racetrack, and he's the only car there, so he can give it a try.

After all, this is a rare experience.

Julia.

Mr. Stadler put down his wine glass and called out to a tall, beautiful Italian woman behind him, "Have the publicity team get ready to take some nice promotional photos."

As the brand ambassador for Audi R8, Lu Yunzhou's appearance at the Monza circuit driving the GT3 version of the R8 is a huge publicity stunt.

In addition, Lu Yunzhou is also going to shoot a racing movie targeting both the Chinese and European markets, which will be another huge publicity stunt.

Before Lu Yunzhou's movie was made.

Lu Yunzhou's treatment at Audi is absolutely that of a top-tier global partner.

Unless Lu Yunzhou's movie flops, his treatment will not decrease.

However, after a brief conversation with Lu Yunzhou, Steid felt that the chances of the film flopping were not too high.

"Road, before we get on the track, shall we take a few photos?"

Before Lu Yunzhou went onto the track, Julia and her makeup team gave him a very handsome look.

Then they had Lu Yunzhou hold the race car driver's helmet and stand next to the GT3 version of the Audi R8 for a few photos.

These photos can be used for various purposes, whether as promotional materials for the film's pre-production or posted directly on social media.

Just like taking photos and checking in when you travel.

Celebrities leave behind photos and various promotional materials whenever they attend any event. This is to let the big boss know that they are not playing around, but working seriously.

"Photographer, take two steps back, a little to the left, a little more to the left—squat down, squat down even more. Shoot from a slight upward angle."

"This is the scent of dreams."

"good!"

"It should be around this location."

Unlike other celebrities who are directed by photographers, Lu Yunzhou, as a director, has an extremely keen sense for photography.

He glanced at the lighting conditions, then at the camera and aperture in the photographer's hand, and automatically created a shooting plan for himself.

"That's a ghost."

The photographer was initially a little impatient with being directed by Lu Yunzhou, but gradually he noticed that Lu Yunzhou's adjustments were getting closer and closer to the best shooting angle.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

OK!

'

The photographer took several photos in succession.

The best one was chosen.

He instinctively went over and asked Lu Yunzhou to check him out.

In the photo, the background is the sky, the middle ground is the race car, and the foreground is the tires level with the horizon.

In this photo, the three visual elements of sky, race car, and ground are integrated into one, clearly conveying a sense of space while inexplicably uniting them together.

It gives people a sense of dreams and youth.

Photography doesn't photograph people or objects; it photographs stories.

"Why is the road like this?"

The photographer felt that this photo was somewhat different from the ones he usually took, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

"This is Italy. Haven't you studied Leonardo da Vinci's perspective?"

Lu Yunzhou pointed to the horizontal line on the track, the ridge line on the car's hood, and the position where he had just placed his hand.

All the lines subtly draw the eye to the Audi logo.

"Hehe—of course I've studied it."

The photographer stubbornly insisted.

Damn it!

He's a true Italian, yet he had a Chinese person teach him what Leonardo da Vinci's perspective method is.

"Finished filming? I should test drive it now." There's a big difference between a racing car and a regular family car.

Lu Yunzhou was quite interested in this new toy.

After taking the photos, he followed the instructions and went up to play with the go-karts.

He was the only car on the entire track.

He can play freely on the track.

"Boss, this guy is very special." Julia told Steid about the scene where Lu Yunzhou was directing the photographer to take pictures.

At the same time, Julia also showed the photo she had just taken to Steider.

Stadler didn't find anything special about the photo, but he could vaguely sense that the Audi logo was very prominent in it.

As for why?

He doesn't understand.

He was German and didn't understand Leonardo da Vinci's perspective.

Julia explained briefly: "Da Vinci believed that light emitted from objects, like a pyramid, converges into the human eye."

"Therefore, Leonardo da Vinci created a compositional method that not only shows a strong sense of spatial depth, but also makes the viewer feel as if they are on the scene."

"Most importantly, it acts like a magnet, naturally guiding and locking everyone's gaze onto the absolute core of the image."

"Director Lu used this technique when he was adjusting the pose and guiding the photographer to take the picture."

After Julia finished speaking, she murmured again, emphasizing, "He used it so easily. It's amazing."

.

After hearing this, Steidl was stunned for a long time.

As a German, he couldn't help but express his feelings in Italian at that moment.

"Osolemio!"

(Italian: My Sun) (Chinese translation: Holy crap!)

"Whoosh! Boom!"

"Zi"6

Whether it's the roar of the engine when you floor the accelerator or the screech of the brakes on the pavement, Lu Yunzhou felt that these sounds were incredibly vivid.

"For a racing movie, this is the perfect soundtrack!"

No soundtrack can compare to the roar emanating from the Steel Roar itself.

Even heavy metal music can't compare to the roar of an engine, which conveys a sense of passion and power.

On the VIP viewing platform.

Zhang Ruonan led Nazha and her group to the VIP box, only to learn that Lu Yunzhou had already left the track.

Mr. Stadler received a phone call halfway there and has already left.

The team engineer stayed behind, standing in front of the glass window, silently watching Lu Yunzhou's car drive by, his lips slightly pursed, his emerald green eyes revealing a mystery.

Julia, a tall and beautiful Italian woman, was fiddling with her slightly wavy hair and even took out a makeup mirror to touch up her makeup. It's unclear who she was trying to seduce.

Seeing Zhang Ruonan enter with a large group of people, Julia didn't think much of it. She pointed to the racetrack below, licked her red lips, and said, "Your brother looks really handsome driving, doesn't he?"

Julia overheard Zhang Ruonan calling Lu Yunzhou "brother" the whole way and assumed that Zhang Ruonan was Lu Yunzhou's sister.

After all, Zhang Ruonan was staying at Lu Yunzhou's house, and the two of them had come out together. Moreover, in Julia's eyes, Zhang Ruonan looked like a teenager.

By Italian standards, Zhang Ruonan looks to be about 14 years old.

If Zhang Ruonan travels alone by bus or train, as long as she doesn't reveal her real age, the kind Italian ticket seller will definitely guide her on how to buy a ticket at half price.

Because in Italy, children under 14 years old enjoy a 50% discount!

Wow!

"After adapting to the car's performance, he's now close to the limit for the amateur group. His track memory is quite high, even among professional drivers."

Just then, the team engineer, Tom, exclaimed in admiration: "Has he really never received professional racing training?"

In the eyes of engineer Tom, Lu Yunzhou's adaptability was simply too strong.

This can only mean one thing: his mind is extremely sharp.

After just five laps, Lu Yunzhou had memorized almost all the best cornering points on the track.

The reason he hasn't reached the professional level yet is because Lu Yunzhou's body limits him.

He couldn't floor the accelerator on the curves because Lu Yunzhou's untrained body couldn't withstand the extreme G-forces!

Most professional race car drivers have very thick necks, precisely to withstand the extreme G-forces that come with cornering!

However, as an idol star, Lu Yunzhou's neck is no different from that of a normal person, and obviously cannot withstand the pressure brought by extreme turns.

"Director Lu is truly an amazing person."

Naza never saw Lu Yunzhou; she only heard from others that Lu Yunzhou was driving the race car.

She watched with great interest for more than 20 minutes in the VIP box.

Lu Yunzhou lapped the track again and again, breaking his own record. The car became more and more stable, like a silver shark darting around the Monza circuit.

She began to understand why race car drivers were always surrounded by so many beautiful women.

That's so cool!

Supercars are like a man's steel armor, bringing him immense charm.

"Xiao Nan, if this movie is released, your brother will be the envy of countless people. He probably won't be able to stay single anymore."

Naza looked at Zhang Ruonan and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no background music, no story-driven shots, just Lu Yunzhou lapping around the track, setting new lap times, and Nazha thought, "This guy is just too cool."

Zhang Ruonan inwardly scoffed; her brother wasn't single to begin with.

But on the surface, she gave Nazha an innocent smile: "My brother is naturally charming. Countless girls like him. However, he has very discerning tastes."

"It's better to be a little tricky."

Nazha nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Zhang Ruonan, and asked softly, "Little Nan, what do you think of your older sister?"

Ha ha!

I knew you had unrealistic ideas.

Zhang Ruonan didn't try to put Nazha down. Instead, she calmly mentioned a custom in Wenzhou: "Sister Nazha, I'm not trying to disparage my hometown. Men in Wenzhou don't like dating. Because dating is too much of a waste of time."

"An excellent Wenzhou man will only focus on two things in his life: making money and having sons."

What can you bring to your brother?

Can you help him make money, or can you help him have a son?

You have nothing.

Are you still dreaming of the future?

Who doesn't like being in a relationship?

Naza believes that being in love is the most wonderful thing in the world.

Zhang Ruonan raised her hand, looking helpless, and said, "You've seen it now. If you don't believe me, you can try asking him."

"However, I'm warning you beforehand. Knowing my brother as I do, he won't say anything to you. Instead, he'll quietly replace the role originally prepared for you with someone else."

After saying that, Zhang Ruonan thought of another name: "Sister Nazha, what do you think of Dilraba? She seems like a smart person, which is more suitable for the role."

Dilraba is Gulnazar's biggest competitor.

Upon hearing this, Nazha instinctively blurted out in her dialect, "Amai!" (Uyghur for "don't")

The next second, Nazha's expression changed drastically, and she pleaded with Zhang Ruonan, "Little Nan, no, Little Nan, I was wrong. Please let me off the hook. Don't tell Director Lu about this. Actually, I'm not love-struck; I'm very career-oriented."

Zhang Ruonan also reverted to her sweet and adorable self: "Sister Nazha, I was just joking with you. It's impossible for my brother to change the role to Dilraba. It's possible he could change it to Dai Si."

Do you know why?

How would I know why?

Naza slowly shook her head, looking at Zhang Ruonan with anticipation: "Sister Xiaonan, I know I'm not very smart, but I'm willing to work hard. I don't even need the pay, I just ask Director Lu to give me a chance."

How much can a film's salary be?

If this movie becomes a hit, Nazha feels that even if she only gets a few shots, she can go back to China and enjoy a ton of business opportunities.

Online shopping is very popular now, and many Taobao stores need spokespeople.

Especially those who sell through WeChat.

Naza is almost overwhelmed with orders.

Because those micro-business owners won't go for top celebrities like Yang Mi or Tang Yan; they can't afford that kind of money, but they still want to find a pretty actress with good national recognition.

Naza is the best choice!

However, the prices offered by the micro-business owners were not high, and Nazha felt that she was part of their scheme to receive kickbacks.

She needs to increase her market value and competitiveness, and if she can make a high-quality commercial film, Nazha feels that she can make a fortune.

Once I've made some money, I'll find a handsome guy to date.

"Sister Nazha, I can't make that decision about who should play the role," Zhang Ruonan slowly shook her head.

Because this is an endurance racing movie, there are two drivers in addition to the main character.

Since there are three main male characters, there should also be three female protagonists for symmetry.

Tang Yan and Zhang Ruonan were both pre-selected.

There is one more female lead, whose temperament is vastly different from the other two.

Yang Mi fought for this role.

However, Yang Mi herself didn't understand the point at all and kept flattering Lu Yunzhou, while what Lu Yunzhou needed was for Yang Mi to win Tang Yan's forgiveness.

As long as Tang Yan doesn't forgive Yang Mi, Yang Mi will never be able to make Lu Yunzhou's movies.

After all, Tang Yan is Lu Yunzhou's financial backer, a minor shareholder of Lu Yunzhou's film and television production company, and a core business partner of Lu Yunzhou.

He couldn't let Tang Yan pay the money and then suffer a loss.

"However, as long as you swear to God that you want to focus on your career and don't want to mess with my brother, I'll give you a hand."

Naza is a bit silly, and Zhang Ruonan thinks he can lend her a hand.

Dilraba won't do.

Because when Lu Yunzhou was filming his short film, the first person he went to was Dilraba, and Dilraba's alma mater and Lu Yunzhou's alma mater are only 2.1 kilometers apart.

Who knows what kind of story these two had when they were in college?

Zhang Ruonan certainly doesn't want anyone to cheat on her.

"Xiao Nan, I, Nazha, swear to God, I won't mess with your brother."

Naza raised her hand to swear, but in her heart she was thinking, how could I possibly mess with Director Lu Yunzhou? Focusing on my career is the only thing that matters. As long as the movie is a hit, what kind of handsome guy can't I find?

I, Gulnazar, am not an ungrateful person like Dilraba!

Tang Yan used her resources to find Tongling Jewelry as a client and invested in and filmed a TV series, with Dilraba Dilmurat in the cast. However, Dilraba Dilmurat turned around and slandered Tang Yan. — Although I, Gulnazar, am not very bright, I would never do such a thing!

"Remember your vow."

Zhang Ruonan smiled slightly, then whispered in Nazha's ear, "[Canori], a Sicilian cream roll, my brother likes this dessert. There are still two hours until dinner—"

After hearing this, Nazha asked her agent to search for what the dessert looked like.

The reason she asked her agent to search was because her phone was stolen not long after she arrived in Italy; it was a heartbreaking story.

"It looks delicious."

Not to mention Lu Yunzhou likes this dessert, Nazha felt that she would definitely like it too after just seeing a picture of it online.

"Xiao Nan, wait for me a moment, I'm going now!"

After saying that, Nazha hurriedly left with her assistant, leaving her manager there to continue cultivating a good relationship with Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan is a cold stove, and I have to make sure it's burning brightly.

With her younger sister protecting her, no one can steal her role.

"Ms. Zhang, although Nazha seems a bit silly, she's actually a nice person. She's very serious about this project, and she came to Monza this time to experience what it's like to be a race car driver."

After Nazha left, her agent continued to help her.

The agent didn't exaggerate; instead, he told Zhang Nan their plans and intentions for the past two days in detail.

"Actually, I think Nazha is quite suitable for that role. Nazha looks a bit like an Italian beauty."

"Moreover, it's even more exquisite."

"If this movie were to be released in Europe, Gulnazar would probably be even more popular."

On the way here, Zhang Ruonan noticed that many tourists were stunned by Nazha's beauty and couldn't help but stare at her.

In comparison, Julia, who was sent by Audi, paled in comparison.

"Julia, what do you think?"

Zhang Ruonan turned to look at Julia, the concierge sent from Audi's headquarters in Italy.

"I agree with Ms. Zhang's opinion."

Julia nodded with a complicated expression.

Naza is indeed a rare beauty.

In front of a beauty like Gulnazar, Julia didn't even bother with makeup. No matter how good her own makeup was, could it compare to Gulnazar's?

Hengdian.

The cast and crew of "The Princess Weiyoung".

"I am free—"

Although filming is not yet finished, Tang Yan has been invited to attend the opening ceremony of the 66th Berlin International Film Festival next week.

She's going to walk the red carpet looking gorgeous again!

"Thanks to Little Boat Bro, I became famous in Berlin!"

The reason she was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival was because Lu Yunzhou's short film "Dream" greatly increased Tang Yan's popularity in Europe.

Of course, Tongling Jewelry also put in a lot of effort.

Since 2009, Tongling Jewelry has served as the official partner of the Berlin Film Festival for many consecutive years, creating custom red carpet jewelry collections for many celebrities.

Most importantly, Tongling Jewelry is ready to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, becoming the first jewelry company to IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange!

Tang Yan, as the most popular star under Tongling Jewelry, has been doing a ton of promotional activities this year.

Tang Yan herself is also quite promising.

I filmed a short film with Lu Yunzhou, and then filmed a fantasy TV series with him. The latter TV series, in particular, had very complex elements.

Transmigration into a book, travel, family, revenge, love—with so many elements mixed together, it might sound like a terrible movie.

But thanks to Lu Yunzhou's editing and his various eloquent narratives, the entire TV series is complex yet orderly, even well-organized, like a precise clock that strikes the heart of countless people at the very end.

Industry insiders have already predicted that Tang Yan will win many major TV drama actress awards in 2016!

After attending the Berlin Film Festival in Germany, Tang Yan didn't return to China but went directly to Italy to find Lu Yunzhou.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Yan felt very cheerful.

Although Lu Yunzhou has a girlfriend named Zhang Ruonan, Tang Yan will pretend she doesn't know anything about it as long as Lu Yunzhou doesn't make it official.

She could deceive herself like those little fans, even creating a beautiful dream for herself: her brother doesn't like dating, he just hasn't met the person who makes his heart flutter yet, and that's her!

While in a good mood, Tang Yan couldn't help but think of her old rival and best friend.

She couldn't help but send Yang Mi a message: "Mi Mi, I heard you're filming in Korea. Have you found a new boyfriend?"

'

"Are you crazy? I have a husband, don't talk nonsense."

Yang Mi retorted irritably, "You're the one who got dumped, don't blame me. I haven't done anything to you lately."

"You're the crazy one. Who's heartbroken?"

Tang Yan reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly snapping.

After suppressing her emotions, she calmly replied, "I remember that since last October, people online have been spreading rumors that you and Lao Liu are getting a divorce. Last time at the Fashion Awards, I felt that something was wrong between you and Lao Liu. You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

"Tell me the truth, are you the one stirring up rumors about marital discord online?"

There are many rumors circulating in the Chinese entertainment industry, some true and some false.

Tang Yan suspected Yang Mi of the worst possible intentions, believing that Yang Mi was preparing to smear Liu Kaiwei and had done some pre-emptive hype.

Ji Rujing had done this for her once before.

Qiu Ze, who was once incredibly popular, suffered a dramatic drop in reputation after being labeled a "scumbag," leading him to leave the Chinese entertainment industry and never return.

Tang Yanke still remembers it vividly.

"You'll find out then."

Yang Mi neither admitted nor denied it, but felt very tired.

Perhaps due to recent mental exhaustion, Yang Mi inexplicably replied, "I'm sorry about what happened last time."

But the message was quickly retracted.

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misread it.

After regaining her senses, Tang Yan laughed heartily: "Old honey, you've finally met your match! But you have to post it again, I haven't taken a screenshot yet!"

"How can I forgive you if I don't take a screenshot to remember this? How can you beg Brother Xiaochuan to take you to make a movie if I don't forgive you?"

"A racing movie. There's a sequel."

"You won't get the role in this one, but I can recommend you for the sequel."

"Beg me...be good, apologize to me, and I'll forgive you."

Although Yang Mi turned off her phone, Tang Yan felt wonderful today, having achieved a partial victory.

Old Honey finally gave in to her!

Tang Yan also understood that it wasn't because Yang Mi had a change of heart, but because the situation was beyond her control!

Yang Mi finally admitted that Tang Yan was the better one!

All of this is because Yang Mi began to realize that there was a problem with Jaywalk's approach; no talented director would join Jaywalk.

And Tang Yan herself dug out a golden Buddha from a pile of ruins!

She's the real winner!
