Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 72 Chicken Bro Offers Advice! Dark Wind Xiaotian! Boat Girl Gets Backstabbed! See You at Neuschwanstein Castle!

The next morning.

The Shanghai Theatre Academy campus.

Cai Xukun asked the company for leave, suspending his training career. Early in the morning, he went to the girls' dormitory of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, called Tian Xiwei down, and gave her some advice.

"Tian Dali, it's 8 a.m. now. In two hours, around 10 a.m., your older brother will come to your school to conduct an interview and select a female supporting actress. You know about this, right?"

"Wang Ma should have told you, right?"

Although Tian Xiwei often helped Wang Ran criticize Cai Xukun in the group, Cai Xukun felt that as a grown man, he didn't need to argue with a girl.

If Tian Xiwei gets a supporting role in Lu Yunzhou's work, it could be the best springboard for her to enter the entertainment industry.

Moreover, based on Cai Xukun's understanding of Lu Yunzhou, as long as Tian Xiwei performs well, she will definitely be signed directly by Lu Yunzhou to the company, where she will receive at least 20 yuan a year.

This is a huge sum of money.

Tian Xiwei comes from an ordinary family. If she could earn 20 yuan a year while in college, wouldn't she be overjoyed?

If he could help Tian Xiwei pass the interview smoothly, Cai Xukun would be Tian Xiwei's savior.

With this favor, when I become a superstar someday, I can call Tian Xiwei to be my backup dancer and bodyguard at the same time—it's killing two birds with one stone.

"Boat Girl, I've already told you. You don't need to worry about it."

1

Tian Xiwei sensed that Cai Xukun seemed to want to do her a favor, which made her feel a little strange.

She felt it was unnecessary.

Wang Ran has already taken care of everything for her.

Could it be that Cai Xukun is trying to transfer this favor from Wang Ran to himself?

That damn chicken, he's got some pretty good ideas.

For a moment, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking Cai Xukun up and down, feeling that this guy was more cunning than she had imagined.

"You don't need me to worry about it?"

Cai Xukun looked at Tian Xiwei speechlessly, pointed a finger at her forehead, and said irritably, "With that big forehead of yours, you expect me not to worry about it?"

"Do you think that just because Aunt Wang pulled some strings for you, your brother will definitely choose you?"

"Please understand, this is a visual blockbuster with an investment of over $1 million, it's Big Brother's ticket to the world."

Do you think this is child's play?

"This project is crucial to whether my brother can become a world-class superstar and a world-class director. Aunt Wang said she can help you get it done. What can she handle?"

"If she could really handle it, she would have taken the role herself. Why would you have a chance?"

Cai Xukun's lightning-fast five-question barrage made Tian Xiwei's eyes widen in surprise, and she was stunned for a moment.

That makes sense!

If Wang Churan could handle it herself, she would have taken the role. How could it possibly be her turn?

There are indeed things here that I haven't figured out.

"What should I do then?"

For a moment, Tian Xiwei felt a pang of panic.

As a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Tian Xiwei naturally had a dream of becoming a star, and at this moment, a super luxurious cruise ticket was placed in front of her.

Someone has even stamped the ticket.

She only needed to reach out her hand to get the ticket—if it were snatched away at this crucial moment, she would probably be furious.

She probably won't be able to sleep for the next thirty years.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

Seeing Tian Xiwei flinch and reveal a hint of vulnerability, Cai Xukun laughed heartily, patting his chest with an air of self-assurance: "I'm the one who understands Big Brother best in this world. Wang Ma is nothing!"

"I've prepared everything for you."

Cai Xukun winked at Tian Xiwei, then took out two pieces of hair extensions from his bag and placed them in Tian Xiwei's hand.

"Didn't your older brother tell you to grow bangs? Your current bangs are sticky and not thick enough, they look awful."

"Remember, your bangs must be thick."

"Besides that, you should be playing a villain, so your eyes need to be cold enough. Remember to go back and do some smoky makeup and apply some eyeshadow. Also, use a contouring pen to sculpt your cheeks to give them more definition."

"What are you standing there for? Take out your phone, open the notes app, and write this down properly!"

Oh, oh, oh.

Tian Xiwei suddenly realized what was happening and was scolded by Cai Xukun like a grandson.

However, at this moment, she had no choice but to believe Cai Xukun's lies.

Seeing that Tian Xiwei was so obedient today, Cai Xukun was very satisfied and patted her on the shoulder: "I'll go to the cafeteria to order food first."

Half an hour from now, I hope to see a completely new you.

Cai Xukun clapped his hands at Tian Xiwei in an encouraging gesture: "I'm not the same person I used to be. I've become a superstar. If you want to be friends with me, you'd better be a top female celebrity, right?"

"I look forward to meeting you at the summit!"

"Go, Tian Dali!"

screw you!

Seeing Cai Xukun's arrogant demeanor, Tian Xiwei curled her lips, stretched out her hand, made a gesture like a kitchen knife, and pretended to cut a chicken's neck at Cai Xukun.

However, Cai Xukun's opinion was not bad.

Taking advantage of the little time she still had, Tian Xiwei hurriedly ran back to her dormitory and decided to change her makeup.

Cold, dark style, thick bangs.

Wait a minute?

She suddenly realized that the sides of her head were a bit big, and she had to make the hair on the sides more voluminous in order to cover up this flaw.

Half an hour later————

Looking at her newly made self, Tian Xiwei nodded slightly, but still felt that something was missing.

"Oh, right!"

"Put on the complete set of Swan Tears jewelry."

A while ago, on Tian Xiwei's birthday, Wang Ran gave her a "Swan Tears" jewelry box.

From earrings and necklaces to rings, and even glittering brooches, everything is available.

This is the most precious birthday gift Tian Xiwei has ever received in her life.

Worth at least 2!

From then on, Wang Churan, though two years younger than her, was the big sister in her eyes.

"That's about right."

"Let's go out and go to the street!"

Wearing a low-cut floral shirt, Tian Xiwei layered a black trench coat over it, creating a striking contrast between her inner and outer layers.

Walking on campus today, she attracted an incredible amount of attention.

Many of her classmates didn't recognize Tian Xiwei at first and could only stare at her back and chatter amongst themselves.

"Who is this?"

"Is that famous senior student back?"

"Possibly. I heard that Zhouzhou comes to the school at 10 a.m. to select a supporting role, which may have attracted some graduating seniors to come back and compete for the role."

"Are they crazy? Those senior students are shameless. We said we should give the newcomers in the school a chance, and these already established seniors want to come and steal our opportunities?"

Hearing the murmurs behind her, Tian Xiwei realized for the first time that Cai Xukun's opinion was quite reliable.

A few minutes later.

Tian Xiwei arrived at the cafeteria and, under the watchful eyes of many, found Cai Xukun.

She placed her small bag on the table, sat down opposite Cai Xukun, leaned forward slightly, and let her long, beautiful hair sway in front of Cai Xukun's eyes.

Cai Xukun looked up.

Smoky makeup, huge eyeshadow, thick bangs, and a cold gaze—an indescribable sense of oppression washes over you.

He was momentarily stunned, and didn't even dare to look Tian Xiwei in the eye.

This girl is so cool!

I can't believe I've managed to attract such high-quality girls as fans—I'm so cool!

At that moment, Cai Xukun took a deep breath, his face tense, and said coolly, "I didn't expect you to recognize me even though I was dressed so casually. Want an autograph or a photo?"

As he spoke, Cai Xukun had already taken out a pen from his pocket.

He even prepared some of his own photos.

Because Lu Yunzhou helped him promote his products, Cai Xukun's single "Just Because You're Too Beautiful" suddenly appeared on the charts of many music apps yesterday.

Sales exceeded 10 units.

Although Wang Ran argued with him, she still logged onto the Weibo account 【船桨仅三寸】 and posted some photos of Cai Xukun and Lu Yunzhou together.

Now, everyone on the internet knows that Lu Yunzhou's younger brother has debuted as a singer and even released a song called "Chicken You Are So Beautiful".

In a short time, it attracted at least several million people to watch the spectacle.

Cai Xukun became an overnight sensation.

Cai Xukun doesn't care how he became famous—anyway, he's famous!

Seeing that Cai Xukun had mistaken her for someone wanting an autograph, Tian Xiwei couldn't help but scoff, "You little brat, what's wrong with you? Who wants your autograph or a photo? Go get me a hot bowl of beef noodles. I'm freezing!"

Following Cai Xukun's advice, Tian Xiwei dressed very coolly and stylishly.

She even changed into a short skirt in November.

However, the temperature suddenly dropped today, and Tian Xiwei felt something was wrong when she came out. But in order to maintain her cool and stylish look, she could only force herself to walk through the campus and arrive at the cafeteria.

"I'll go right away."

It's Tian Dali! Oh my god!

Women are so deceptive.

Cai Xukun couldn't help but glance back at Tian Xiwei, and then he couldn't help but look at her a second time, muttering to himself, "My God, a woman can look so different with and without makeup."

"Tian Dali, you look so good with just a little makeup on?"

"If anyone believed that her inner self was just like her outward appearance—sometimes a sweet and adorable girl, and sometimes a cool and sassy mature woman—they would surely be caught off guard and killed by her one night, right?"

"Fortunately, I saw through her true nature long ago and there's no way I could be fooled."

A female Chiyou from Shandong, a female Tyrannosaurus Rex from Sichuan and Chongqing.

Cai Xukun felt he had a discerning eye and could see through their true nature at a glance.

After a while, Cai Xukun brought over a bowl of beef noodles: "Eat up, I added double the amount of beef for you. Once you're full, go and beat them to a pulp! Don't embarrass me."

"Do I need you to remind me?"

Tian Xiwei lowered her head and slurped up her noodles. After drinking two mouthfuls of hot soup, she immediately felt much better and regained her strength.

After she snapped out of her cold-blooded state, she looked up at Cai Xukun and finally said with mixed emotions, "Thanks, Kunkun."

"What did you say? You're sleepy?"

Cai Xukun was playing on his phone at the moment, asking Lu Yunzhou when he would be coming over.

He kept emphasizing on his phone that he had a friend at the Shanghai Theatre Academy with an absolutely amazing figure and very distinctive looks, which would definitely surprise Lu Yunzhou.

Knowing that Lu Yunzhou would arrive soon, Cai Xukun looked up and saw Tian Xiwei turn her head to yawn.

Recalling what had just happened, when Tian Xiwei said she was sleepy after finishing her meal, Cai Xukun said with exasperation, "All you do is eat and sleep! Are you a pig?"

"Wake up!"

"My older brother will be here soon. He's usually very easygoing, but he gets very serious when it comes to making money."

You're the pighead!

Believe it or not, I'll punch you so hard your head will turn into a pig's head.

Tian Xiwei looked up at Cai Xukun and gradually felt a surge of murderous intent.

But today, considering that Cai Xukun had offered her advice, she softened her heart for once and decided to make a note of the number of times Cai Xukun had been sarcastic and sarcastic, and settle the score later.

"They're here!"

"Zhouzhou is here!"

Just then, a scream suddenly erupted in the cafeteria, and then countless girls rushed out.

They agreed to meet at 10 o'clock, but Lu Yunzhou arrived at 9 o'clock.

He was worried that he wouldn't have enough time in the morning, and today was November 10th, with a Double 11 event scheduled for tonight, so Lu Yunzhou had to fly to Shenzhen.

The Tmall Double 11 event invited hundreds of celebrities, including the Beckhams and Scarlett Johansson, among other international stars.

Lu Yunzhou was also invited.

As a superstar, even if he's not on set, he's still incredibly busy throughout the year. He gets invited to all sorts of offline events, big and small.

Lu Yunzhou couldn't turn down a super gala like Tmall's Double 11.

Because his products are also participating in tonight's Double 11 event, and he wants to make money on the Tmall platform.

All he needs to do is make an appearance at this gala, show up with his new Swan Tears gold jewelry, and then, photos of him looking handsome and elegant will be taken on site.

Following this, various flagship stores began to feature the "Lu Yunzhou same style" product.

At the same time, countless marketing accounts on Weibo will start touting how beautiful this necklace is and how it retains its value as a gold ornament.

In short, with the exposure from Singles' Day tonight, he can at least entice tens of thousands of fans to buy the same items he promotes.

It could earn them at least 1000 million!

"Tian Dali, I'm going now!"

"You need to work hard and not embarrass me."

Lu Yunzhou has arrived, and Cai Xukun needs to go over and say hello.

Before standing up, Cai Xukun placed two fingers on his forehead, making a very cool salute to Tian Xiwei: "See you at the top!"

Damn it.

This guy is such a good actor!

What do you mean by "don't embarrass him"?

I really want to punch him to death.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei felt no excitement at all; she only felt a slight itch in her fist.

"Make way!"

"I'm a staff member."

After a while, Cai Xukun squeezed through the crowd, his hair all messed up, and finally made it to Lu Yunzhou's side.

"Dude, you're super popular now. Look at how silly these people are chasing after celebrities."

Cai Xukun looked at these brainless fangirls with disdain, but couldn't help but fantasize about being surrounded by so many girls one day, screaming: "Honey, you're so handsome!"

He felt that his life had been worthwhile.

"Be careful what you say. Show some respect to your fans."

Faced with this situation, Lu Yunzhou was numb. Led by his school teacher, he went to the newly built, stylish small theater.

He will be conducting a short interview here.

-

Therefore, he came to check out the site first.

"Director Lu, it's still early, shall I show you around the school?"

An hour before the agreed-upon 10 o'clock time, the school's teachers led Lu Yunzhou on a tour of the Shanghai Theatre Academy campus, allowing him to better understand the academy's culture.

This could help Lu Yunzhou develop some feelings for the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

When Lu Yunzhou directs a new film or project next time, he will be more inclined to favor students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"Director Lu, have you visited our school before?"

The teacher in charge of receiving them felt that Lu Yunzhou looked familiar; she was certain she had seen him somewhere before.

"Of course I've been here."

Lu Yunzhou smiled and nodded: "I went to university next door, and I was very curious about the Shanghai Theatre Academy back then."

That's great!

Since Lu Yunzhou already had a strong impression of the Shanghai Theatre Academy and might even have friends studying there, the teacher didn't say anything more and instead took Lu Yunzhou for a casual stroll around the school.

After a brief stroll, the group returned to the small theater.

By this time, the students had gradually arrived at the small theater, whispering among themselves, some of them feeling uneasy.

"Hey bro, see that girl with the bangs? What do you think of her?"

Cai Xukun followed Lu Yunzhou in, his eyes scanning the crowd before quickly locking onto Tian Xiwei, who was sitting in the second row.

"She's really nice. What's her name? Is she your friend?"

Lu Yunzhou also turned his head to look over, and his gaze met Tian Xiwei's in mid-air.

What beautiful eyes!

Large and round, with jet-black eyes, it is very lifelike.

This look is also quite interesting, with a dark vibe reminiscent of Korean horror movies.

However, most importantly, this girl was wearing a set of "Swan Tears" gold jewelry.

Good eye.

The combination of dark style and gold creates a unique effect.

Darkness symbolizes cruelty and death.

But gold symbolizes hope and life, as well as a noble quality.

If you add some red blood, it becomes gothic.

But who is this girl?

Because Tian Xiwei's outfit today was a bit exaggerated, Lu Yunzhou didn't even recognize her at first, only feeling that the girl looked somewhat familiar.

"Her name is Tian Dali. She's incredibly strong, definitely suited to be an action star."

Cai Xukun blurted it out.

The name Tian Xiwei is really hard to remember, and it has too many strokes.

However, if Lu Yunzhou knew her name was Tian Dali, he would definitely remember it vividly, which would be of great benefit to Tian Xiwei.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou sensed that Cai Xukun was on the verge of getting beaten up, and reminded him, "What kind of girl would have a name like that? Don't give people random nicknames."

Upon hearing the nickname "Tian Dali," Lu Yunzhou immediately understood that it must refer to Tian Xiwei.

Unexpectedly, her temperament can be so complex and versatile.

interesting.

Noticing that Lu Yunzhou was looking over and nodded slightly to her, Tian Xiwei quickly put on a sweet smile.

"Unexpectedly, the little dead chicken finally turned out to be reliable for once."

Tian Xiwei thought that Lu Yunzhou had only looked over because Cai Xukun had spoken well of her on his behalf, and for a moment, she felt extremely grateful to Cai Xukun.

Tian Xiwei decided to cross out a few lines for Cai Xukun in the Book of Life and Death.

Next.

It was a series of interviews.

To be honest, among Tian Xiwei's classmates, there are countless beautiful and well-proportioned girls.

After all, these people are able to get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy because their looks and physiques are impeccable.

However, Lu Yunzhou still chose Tian Xiwei.

Because Tian Xiwei was able to emerge from another time and space and become a top star, she must have her own unique abilities.

-

Office.

In addition, Tian Xiwei is also a big fan of his.

In addition, Cai Xukun also spoke up for Tian Xiwei.

Even Wang Churan put in a good word for Tian Xiwei.

This girl is very popular; almost everyone likes her.

"Oda, we meet again."

Lu Yunzhou and the others were all very professional, but when Tian Xiwei came for the interview, he suddenly smiled and said, "You have bangs, very pretty."

"Thank you, Director Lu."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei smiled, revealing her signature dimple on the right corner of her mouth.

Because it was Lu Yunzhou who suggested her bangs.

"Xiaotian, I just watched your acting, and to be honest, I'd give it around 60 points. It's not particularly good, but it's passable."

.

"However, I really like your outfit today. It's obvious you've put a lot of thought into understanding the character I need. I appreciate that dedication from you."

"The role I need for this movie requires you to undergo a certain level of martial arts training. Are you willing to accept that?"

"You might get very tired during this process. It's as tough as three months of basic training. Without a lot of perseverance, it's hard to stick with it."

Lu Yunzhou said that Tian Xiwei's acting skills are so good that she would have no problem acting in idol dramas.

However, film is an art form that is eternal in a fleeting moment, requiring a moment of emotional tension, which Tian Xiwei clearly lacks.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Yunzhou can create this shot for Tian Xiwei through editing and lighting.

Most importantly, Tian Xiwei has to be obedient.

"Director Lu, I'm from Chongqing."

"We Chongqing girls may have some shortcomings, such as being too sweet-looking, having too good a figure, and having fair and tender skin—but we have a huge advantage, which is that we are not afraid of hardship."

Tian Xiwei has a rather humorous way of speaking.

Sweet and cute, with a great figure and fair skin, is that a flaw?

At that moment, not only Lu Yunzhou smiled, but the other screenwriters who came for the interview also smiled, and they all gave Tian Xiwei a thumbs up in their hearts.

People with a sense of humor tend to be more resilient to stress.

"After three months of training, can an ordinary person like me take on three opponents at once?"

Lu Yunzhou pointed to himself and gave Tian Xiwei a target task.

"no."

Tian Xiwei shook her head hurriedly.

Just as Lu Yunzhou frowned, Tian Xiwei spoke up to explain, "Director Lu, you are my idol, how could I hit you? I would rather get hurt myself than hit you."

After speaking, Tian Xiwei saw Cai Xukun standing behind Lu Yunzhou, her eyes burning with fighting spirit as she said, "I don't need three months of training to take on three of someone like him. I can take on three of them right now."

Cai Xukun curled his lip.

Forget it.

Today is an important day for you, so I won't hold it against you.

"That's interesting."

Lu Yunzhou smiled, turned around and chatted with the others for a while. The others nodded in agreement, finding the girl quite interesting.

Very expressive.

He looks extremely arrogant.

She perfectly fits the character's description in the script—the arrogant female supporting character.

"I have no objection."

"I also think she's a good person."

"Director Lu, let's choose her."

In fact, they could all tell that Lu Yunzhou and Tian Xiwei obviously knew each other, otherwise why would Lu Yunzhou say "We meet again" as soon as he opened his mouth?

They even praised Tian Xiwei's bangs as beautiful.

The others don't receive this treatment.

The first rule for working people is to quickly understand what the boss is thinking, and before the boss can speak, to say what the boss is thinking, and then praise the boss for being wise and capable.

"Xiaotian, you've grown into a beautiful young woman in just a few months."

The interview is now over.

Lu Yunzhou no longer needed to pretend and chatted casually with Tian Xiwei: "How have you been feeling these past few months studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

"fine."

With the teacher watching, what could Tian Xiwei say? She could only praise the school's excellent atmosphere, the outstanding students, and the dedicated teachers.

Seeing her teacher smile, Tian Xiwei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She really wanted to say that the school food was not to her liking.

She came here to study for two months, partly because she was trying to lose weight, and partly because the school food didn't suit her taste.

She lost 10 pounds without much effort.

The beggar-faced infant was so fat that he was almost unrecognizable.

"Xiaotian, I still have high hopes for you."

"However, the company has its own rules."

"Before joining the production team, come to my company to sign a contract for artist management. Like Liu Hao, you'll sign a contract with Su for 200 million. Do you want it to be paid in installments over 10 years, or in one lump sum? You can consider it when you get back."

Even without signing with Su, Tian Xiwei would definitely be willing to join Lu Yunzhou's company. However, as a boss, it's important to treat all subordinates equally.

If Liu Haocun gets 200 million, and Tian Xiwei doesn't get a penny, she'll definitely be upset.

Just like raising children, although parents will certainly have their own preferences, they should at least be fair and just in public.

Otherwise, the two children will harbor resentment and hate each other.

This is not the kind of scene Lu Yunzhou wanted to see.

"200 million?"

Before Tian Xiwei could speak, Cai Xukun couldn't help but say, "Brother, aren't you being too nice to her? Aren't you afraid she'll just take the money and then slack off?"

"You're the one who's just giving up!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei, unable to suppress the urge to punch Cai Xukun to pieces, said to Lu Yunzhou, "Director Lu, thank you for your high regard. I will never be like what some people say, taking money and then shirking my responsibilities. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

"I know that words are not enough."

"For the next two months, whatever kind of training you arrange for me, I will accept it. If my name is Bi Shengku, then I'm not Tian Xiwei."

"From now on, I will change my name to Tian Dali!"

Changing her name to Tian Dali is, frankly, a gamble that, for this girl, is tantamount to gambling with her life.

But for Lu Yunzhou, the more motivated Tian Xiwei is, the higher the probability that he will be able to play the role well.

Hearing this, he looked at Tian Xiwei seriously, then suddenly smiled: "Good child. From now on, you and Ah Kun will call me Big Brother. Big Brother won't treat you badly."

Working for the boss is like being an animal.

Calling your older brother is called being loyal.

The driving force is not the same.

"Big brother, can I really call you that? I feel like I'm dreaming." Tian Xiwei felt that she had no right to do so.

She was previously just a small fan of Lu Yunzhou in the city's fan club.

They hadn't spent much money on Lu Yunzhou.

When Lu Yunzhou encountered a rival who was turning against her, she led the charge, driving away many people with her words and simultaneously blocking 100 people from the scene.

Many gnarled little bees.

"Why can't we do that?"

Lu Yunzhou smiled at Tian Xiwei and said seriously, "In the next ten years, we will spend more time in Biqi than you and your parents will spend in Biqi."

"At Jinshi Company, we are all part of the Bi family; this is part of our company culture."

Dong Ge (Liu Qiangdong) fosters a brotherhood culture; anyone who doesn't work hard to make money for the company isn't considered one of his brothers.

Lu Yunzhou felt that this public business culture was excellent.

However, the female artists in his company, if they can't be brothers, then let's treat them as family.

Anyone who doesn't work hard for this family isn't part of their family.

"Come on, let's celebrate you joining our big family. Today it's on me, you can choose any restaurant in Shanghai."

Lu Yunzhou made Tian Xiwei realize in the first instance that joining his company meant becoming one of his own, and that as the company's big brother, he would take good care of his family members in every way.

"Thank you, brother."

"However, I don't want my older brother to break up with Su. How about we just grab a bite at that hot pot restaurant across from the school?"

Even if she joined the company, Tian Xiwei felt that she couldn't betray Lu Yunzhou, who was the boss she would have to respect for the next 10 years.

However, Tian Xiwei was not entirely convinced by Lu Yunzhou's use of the word "family."

Dong Ge's brother, who used to be known for his coin-related phrases, is now quite famous in the martial arts world.

Who still believes in these coin scams?

However, Lu Yunzhou was willing to give her 200 million to sign a contract with Su — for Tian Xiwei, Lu Yunzhou was the best older brother in her heart.

Tian Xiwei had been in the school for two months and had heard some older female students talk about the dark side of the industry.

I've heard that some talent agencies trick artists into signing contracts, then only give them a few thousand dollars as a guaranteed minimum wage, or sometimes not even that, thus holding them hostage.

If the other party wants to terminate the contract, all sorts of training programs will be expended, and they won't be able to leave the company without paying millions.

Many companies make their fortunes by terminating contracts with Su.

Lu Yunzhou's initiative in giving her 200 million yuan was essentially a reassurance, making her realize how much Lu Yunzhou valued her and that this represented future training.

In return for her kindness, she should also consider Lu Yunzhou's needs.

"Big brother, I want to eat French cuisine."

Cai Xukun didn't have much interest in hot pot, but he winked at Tian Xiwei and said, "Tian Dali, I'll give you another chance. Choose French cuisine. What's so great about hot pot? You can eat it anytime you want."

Tian Xiwei completely ignored Cai Xukun.

She turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, trying to save him money: "Brother, it's not easy for you to earn money. You should save as much as possible on the food and supplies you usually eat. Let's spend the money on the better ones. Don't listen to those people who just complain and think they can get free meals and supplies."

After this, Lu Yunzhou finally understood.

Tian Xiwei and Cai Xukun definitely have a grudge against each other; they can't stand each other.

However, Cai Xukun had clearly spoken well of Tian Xiwei before, so why would Tian Xiwei dislike Cai Xukun?

What a strange relationship.

Half an hour later.

Under the threat of Tian Xiwei's slightly clenched fist, Cai Xukun went to a hot pot restaurant with an average price of about 200 per person to celebrate Tian Xiwei joining the company.

"Please come in!"

"There just happens to be a private room with a dragon-shaped roof."

"I'm sending you 10 bottles of Tianfu Keye; I hope you, my distinguished guests, will enjoy them!"

The hot pot restaurant owner, seeing Lu Yunzhou bring Bi Xingren to eat hot pot, felt like he'd been given a windfall and was so happy he almost fainted.

He took the lead in organizing things and even gave Lu Yunzhou some Tianfu Cola, saying that this cola was especially refreshing to drink while eating hot pot.

The other customers in the hot pot restaurant also couldn't help but stare in surprise when they saw Lu Yunzhou and the pedestrians coming.

After they realized what was happening, they all started taking photos and videos.

"I didn't expect Zhouzhou to eat hot pot here too?"

"Is this hot pot restaurant a trendy spot? Or does the owner have some special recipe that we don't know about?"

"No problem, let me post something exciting on my WeChat Moments first—I tripped over a big star while eating hot pot!"

"Zhou Zhou is so handsome in person! Even more handsome than in the movie. I almost had a stroke when he walked over."

.

"Celebrities are truly amazing, they're flawless from every angle."

With the box office of "Crazy Racing" approaching 45 billion, Lu Yunzhou's GG Dai Li's fashion photos are flooding the streets and alleys of Shanghai.

Although Lu Yunzhou rarely participates in variety shows, clips of his interviews are all over the internet.

He is now the number one internet celebrity in China.

[Lu Yunzhou spotted at a hot pot restaurant] There are pictures and videos. This news was just posted on the internet and immediately received various smart push notifications.

It was pushed to netizens who usually follow Lu Yunzhou's news.

"Which hot pot restaurant is this?"

"Hey everyone, could you give me my cryptocurrency address? I need to rush over there now, is it too late to stall? I heard that Zhouzhou is full of unexpected charm. In movies, he's a cool crypto guy, either the Grim Reaper or a racing king, but in real life he's very easygoing, always treating his fans to meals and providing them with milk tea."

"Even Chicken Bro is getting in on the act with 'You're So Beautiful'!"

"Next to Brother Chicken is a pretty girl named Bi Qiu. Who is she? A new actor's stunt? She's quite attractive."

"I know! She's a supporting actress in the new project, 'The Abyss'!"

"I have a rumor that after Zhouzhou was cast as the female lead at the Beijing Dance Academy, capital from Shanghai is aggressively pushing actresses from low-budget productions to join her cast! If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this long-haired, straight-haired beauty! Although she's a resource-backed actress, I have to say, this curvy beauty is pretty cool!"

"I found out that her name is Tian Xiwei. She's not some kind of resource-backed actress. She was born in Chongqing to an ordinary family and just got into the Beggars' Theatre this year. Other than that, there's nothing special about her."

"Since she's not someone with connections, then it must be based on her talent! I'm really looking forward to Zhou Zhou's new movie!"

"I'm looking forward to it too. Zhou Zhou's movies are full of style, with handsome men and beautiful women, and the racing scenes are so exciting they'll give you goosebumps—an absolute visual feast! I've reviewed all the movies I've seen this year, and Zhou Zhou's films are still the best for me!"

While Lu Yunzhou was eating, netizens were discussing the matter of the pastoral scriptures.

Tian Xiwei never expected that in such a short time, her family background and various private matters would be dug up.

She was almost always the subject of countless incidents.

Fortunately, she had never done anything bad from childhood to adulthood; otherwise, she would probably have been involved in a scandal before even making her debut.

Things are different now. With the internet so developed, any trace an individual leaves behind can potentially be uncovered.

-

"Dude, your data usage is terrifying."

Tian Xiwei put down her phone and finally realized what a super traffic star was.

She went out for a meal with Lu Yunzhou, and after someone took a picture of her, people immediately dug up all her family history.

"You'll get used to it from now on."

Lu Yunzhou was deeply saddened by this situation, as he had virtually no privacy in China.

Even when he's dating a girl, he has to use smokescreens.

For example, everyone on the internet knows that he likes tall, beautiful women, so some people are frantically searching for his whereabouts among those tall, beautiful female celebrities.

Nobody knew that Zhang Ruonan's short legs were his girlfriend's.

"Dude, you're so calm. Is this the confidence of a superstar?"

'

At this moment, Tian Xiwei looked at Lu Yunzhou with a sense of admiration.

She didn't think too much about it; she just found the coins very novel.

In just half a day, from the moment she was chosen by Lu Yunzhou, her life underwent a dramatic change, and she entered a completely new world.

This world was so new and exciting for her.

Even having a meal gets you talked about?

Walk into any hot pot restaurant, and you'll find countless people discussing online whether it has some kind of secret recipe for its hot pot.

Tian Xiwei felt it was somewhat absurd, yet so real.

"Brother Chicken?"

"I'm going crazy! Who gave me that nickname? I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Cai Xukun also saw that he had appeared on the internet. He thought he was a minor pop star and wanted to hear the positive comments from netizens about him.

Who knew—it was a bolt from the blue!

He is clearly a super idol, handsome, with a great physique, and extremely loyal. Everyone who knows him gives him a thumbs up.

Even Tian Xiwei, that strong girl, who was always nagging him, still had to thank him in private, didn't she?

It's all thanks to him that we've taken off.

He thought that after becoming a big star, he would have a nickname called "Handsome Kun".

If all else fails, [Lang Kun] will do.

What the hell is Chicken Bro?

This is such an insult to one's own image.

Seeing Cai Xukun struggling and upset, Lu Yunzhou put down his chopsticks and asked, "How about you make a movie with me, and I'll help you clean up your image?"

Cai Xukun looked up at Shi Luyunzhou and shook his head.

He relied on the signs of fire, and he didn't go astray on this path, but the way the fire came about was somewhat unexpected.

But he was still unconvinced.

"Brother, I chose the path of music, not the path of evil. See, I'm not a troublemaker, am I?"

"I believe that as long as I continue to produce more classic musical works, they will give me some better nicknames."

"Given for example, a soulful singer."

"Like a dancer in the clouds."

Cai Xukun looked out the window, his eyes filled with determination.

He knew that with Lu Yunzhou's level, taking him to make a movie would definitely make him much stronger than Lu Yunzhou in the music industry.

However, he is truly passionate about the music industry.

Moreover, could it be that his own music business and Lu Yunzhou's involvement in film production were just a coincidence?

The music business is his own.

The movie belongs to Lu Yunzhou.

Therefore, even though everyone laughs at his abstract singing and calls him "Chicken Bro," he will never give up on his dream.

One day, he will make sure everyone hears his voice!

"Then I'll wait and see."

Lu Yunzhou smiled knowingly, not surprised that Cai Xukun refused again.

Cai Xukun, despite being a beggar, possessed a kind of magical power. In reality, he hadn't done anything wrong; he was doing perfectly legitimate things.

However, fate always makes this matter very abstract.

Now, Lu Yunzhou actually has some respect for Cai Xukun. He is a true seeker of the Dao, and very steadfast in his beliefs.

Such people, as long as they don't die halfway through, will always be able to accomplish something.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou stopped trying to persuade her and turned to Tian Xiwei: "Little Tian, ​​I once visited the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. There is a couplet in the temple that I still remember vividly. Before you enter the entertainment industry, I am giving you this couplet, hoping that you will keep it in mind."

"Though the rain is heavy, it will not nourish grass without roots; though the Tao is vast, it only guides those with affinity."

Looking at Tian Xiwei, who just turned 19, she was still a naive young girl with a longing for the entertainment industry and the expectation of becoming a big star.

Lu Yunzhou hopes that Tian Xiwei can stay true to her original aspirations and not lose herself in the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.

"Brother, that's a very profound statement; I'll keep it firmly in mind."

Looking into Lu Yunzhou's earnest eyes, Tian Xiwei suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

The most common type of boss in the entertainment industry is the unscrupulous one. Tian Xiwei has heard many dark stories about the entertainment industry from her senior classmates.

It was precisely because of the contrast with these dark stories that she suddenly felt that following Lu Yunzhou might really be the luckiest thing in her life.

Only someone like Cai Xukun, a junior high school graduate with little education, wouldn't listen to Lu Yunzhou's good intentions and would think he was right.

I, Tian Xiwei, am a proper college student. Although my reading comprehension score wasn't perfect, it was definitely just above the passing grade.

Cai Xukun is the rootless weed that Lu Yunzhou mentioned.

I, Tian Xiwei, am the person Lu Yunzhou spoke of as a destined soulmate.

To be honest, Tian Xiwei just couldn't understand why Cai Xukun, who had been by Lu Yunzhou's side for so long, would go off to sing instead of being a movie star.

Take a look at Tang Yan?

Take a look at Zhang Ruonan?

No, Cai Xukun is doing well.

"It's almost time. You guys take your time eating. I need to catch my flight."

Lu Yunzhou looked at Tian Xiwei and finally instructed, "Take some time these next few days to go to the company and sign the contract with Sister Ji. After that, Sister Ji will arrange for a martial arts coach to train you."

"Around mid-December, I'll take you and Xiaocun, and we'll go to Italy, drive in the Alps, go to Germany, visit Neuschwanstein Castle, and give you a real-life experience of life with crypto."

"Time is tight, you need to hurry."

Only through real-life experience can actors truly understand the characters' living conditions, their inner thoughts, and the changes in their mentality under such conditions—only then can actors truly immerse themselves in the characters during actual filming.

As the director of this film, Lu Yunzhou always felt that such life experience was very necessary before filming.

"Um."

Tian Xiwei nodded emphatically.

To be honest, she was a little dizzy right now, feeling like she had not only been hit by a pie, but that pie might even be made of gold.

Not only do you get paid, but you can also travel to the Alps and experience life at Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

So, making movies is this fun?

No wonder those big stars also want to make movies.

[The oar is only three inches long]: "Xiaotian, how's the situation?"

[The oars were only three inches long]: "And they managed to tow it so easily?"

【The paddle is only three inches long】: "I saw the message online saying that you and your brother went to a hot pot restaurant together. Things should be settled by now, right?"

'

[The oars are only three inches long]: "Why aren't you all saying anything?"

Just then, Wang Ran kept sending messages in their WeChat group asking what was going on.

Tian Xiwei held her phone, her mind racing, unsure how to tell Wang Ran the truth.

"If I told my girlfriend that my brother was going to take me skiing in the Alps, to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and to have the servants of Sleeping Beauty from Disney—would she break up with me?"

Tian Xiwei hesitated greatly when she saw the inscription on the coin.

She cherished the friendship between herself and Wang Churan.

Wang Churan was really good to her.

【Cosmic Number One Coin Handsome Kun】: "Wang Ma, if I tell you, you'll be so jealous. Under my care, Tian Dali successfully passed the interview and got a 2 million contract with Su. Big Brother also said that in mid-December, he will take Tian Dali to the Alps for skiing and to Neuschwanstein Castle for Christmas, so that Tian Dali can experience being treated like a princess."

What?

Want to go skiing in the Alps?

Spending Christmas at Neuschwanstein Castle?

-

I don't even have such servants, so why should Tian Xiwei get to enjoy them first?

At that moment, Wang Churan felt a surge of intense, unpleasant emotions welling up inside him, like a bottle of aged vinegar being overturned.

She hoped that Tian Xiwei could receive some of Lu Yunzhou's favor and, like her, enter the entertainment industry and become a star.

Most importantly, Wang Churan wanted Tian Xiwei to confront Liu Haocun.

However, Wang Ran never expected that Tian Xiwei would receive such great care from Lu Yunzhou, and she had become Lu Yunzhou's most beloved little darling!

At this moment, although Wang Ran wanted to deny it in every way, she could only helplessly admit it in the end—she was jealous and felt that the words on the phone screen were so glaring.

"Wang Ma, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Let's liven things up and create some atmosphere."

"Tian Dali, you're going to become a big star."

"My older brother said that she has exquisite features, and her eyes are very spirited. She can be sweet or fierce. She has very beautiful eyes. After filming this movie, Tian Dali will become an international superstar, or at least a sensation throughout Asia."

Cai Xukun was completely clueless about the situation and frantically stabbed Wang Ran in the chest.

After a long while, Wang finally managed to say with great difficulty, "My cell phone signal is bad."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xukun burst into laughter: "I told you long ago that Apple phones have poor signal in China, and you still bought the top-of-the-line model? Are you stupid? Even a 2000 RMB domestic phone doesn't have this problem."

Just as Cai Xukun was about to give Wang Ran the link to purchase the cryptocurrency phone, Tian Xiwei stretched out her foot and stomped hard on Cai Xukun's coin.

"Holy crap!"

"Tian Dali, why did you step on me?"

Cai Xukun cried out in pain, looking at Tian Xiwei with a puzzled expression.

Tian Xiwei remained silent, staring at Cai Xukun. If Cai Xukun continued talking, she and Wang Ran would no longer be able to be sisters.

"I'm not going to eat, I need to get back to school first."

Tian Xiwei felt she had nothing to say to Cai Xukun. How could this guy be so annoying? He always managed to inexplicably stab her in the back at crucial moments.

I really want to punch him to death.

"Boat girl, I'm sorry about that."

Tian Xiwei knew perfectly well what Wang Churan was thinking about Lu Yunzhou.

But she was also helpless.

"My brother wants to be good to me, so I can't refuse, right? It's an opportunity to visit the Alps and Neuschwanstein Castle—who could refuse such an opportunity?"

"Boat Girl, I believe you can understand."

Wang Ran, who is currently filming "A Love So Beautiful" in Hangzhou, is distracted all day long.

She gripped her phone, scrolling through the group chat history, so angry she wanted to smash it, but then felt it was unnecessary.

However, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"The Alps, Neuschwanstein Castle, right?"

"I'm going too!"

It's just a plane ticket, why are you dragging this out?

Can't I afford slippers?

Thinking this way, Wang Ran suddenly felt that his mood had become very wonderful again.

Although Tian Xiwei is quite cute, does she have long-legged sandals?

No!

Therefore—I win!
