Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

One of the staff members shouted, startling everyone around. They stared in fear, scanning the darkness around them, afraid that something unclean might emerge from inside.

The main actors were even worse, especially Xiao Ji, who, after trembling for a while, emitted a strong, foul odor.

Zhao Dekai clicked his tongue and said, "You'd better go change your clothes. We have an interview later, don't mess me up."

Zhao Dekai waved his hand, and Xu Zhen rushed over, asking, "Director, what's wrong?"

"Clean this spot, it stinks."

"Right away, right away!"

Zhao Dekai stood up and went to the staff member who was quite frightened, with Liu Zhongze following behind him.

"Huang Kun, what's wrong?"

Huang Kun shakily got up from the ground, looking utterly disheveled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Zhongze behind the director and hurriedly took a few steps back. He only stopped his flustered movements after being stopped by someone.

Swallowing hard, Huang Kun pointed a trembling finger at Liu Zhongze and said, "A ghost...a ghost."

Zhao Dekai, somewhat speechless, pushed Liu Zhongze forward and said, "My little brother is playing a ghost, not a real one. It's a shame you've been following me around filming all this time. You're such a coward! How am I supposed to use you in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Kun quickly explained, "That's not how it is, Director. When I was watching the play just now, I was a little dazed. When I saw the ghost... Teacher Liu, it was as if he suddenly flew out of the screen and pounced on me. I didn't expect it at all. It was terrifying..."

Zhao Dekai frowned, looking at the screen and then at Huang Kun, before smiling and saying, "Huang Kun, you're tired. Why don't you go home and rest today? We'll pay you based on the number of days you've worked."

"Really? Director." Huang Kun's joy was palpable. As he passed Zhao Dekai, he apologized to Liu Zhongze, "Teacher, you acted really well, but I'm too timid to appreciate it. I'm so sorry."

"It's nothing," Liu Zhongze said simply.

After Huang Kun left, the staff at the scene gradually quieted down.

At this moment, Zhao Dekai patted Liu Zhongze on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I knew this would be a blockbuster horror movie. Did you see the reaction of our staff? They can scare their own people like this, how can we worry that the movie won't be a hit?"

Zhao Dekai walked to his seat with a smile. Xu Zhen had already had the chair cleaned, and Aqi also came over from the room next door.

After the premiere, Zhao Dekai asked Liu Zhongze, "I'm planning to go to Singapore to participate in a film awards competition, bro, do you want to come with me?"

Just as Liu Zhongze was about to refuse, he heard Zhao Dekai say, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Anyway, your situation in China isn't good right now. Why don't you come with me and go abroad to lay low for a while? It'll be a good way to relax. Besides..."

Zhao Dekai leaned close to Liu Zhongze's ear and whispered, "Tian Xiwei's film crew is also participating in the competition there. It's a movie she made with that kid named Lin Youyu. It's a romance film. We can go over there and put their arrogance to a halt."

Although director Zhao Dekai doesn't care about the popular celebrities and gossip in the Chinese entertainment industry, based on his long experience in this circle, he believes that Liu Zhongze is most likely being used as a scapegoat.

After peeling back the layers of the relationship, it becomes clear that it involves a scandal between popular actress Tian Xiwei and rising internet celebrity Lin Youyu.

Liu Zhongze thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, shall I go by myself, or should I come with you?"

"With your brother here, what are you worried about? Little brother, just relax and lie down."

Liu Zhongze's true intention was not to cause trouble for Lin Youyu and Tian Xiwei, but rather to think about Lin Luoying, a woman he still couldn't figure out how to handle his relationship with.

three days later.

Liu Zhongze followed Zhao Dekai and others to Singapore. There were quite a few Chinese people there, but many of them considered themselves superior and regarded themselves as foreigners, which was very different from Johor, which also had a large Chinese population.

The people of Johor know they are Chinese and like to stay within Chinese territory, but Singapore is different. If they encounter tourists from China, they will look down on them, as if they have already become superior.

These days, Singapore and China are in a rather tense international situation.

Once Liu Zhongze arrives here, he will be inexplicably glared at and given the cold shoulder if people discover that he is Chinese.

Liu Zhongze was all too familiar with this look. In the days before the handover, those who looked at people with this kind of gaze were inferior citizens who frantically fawned over Western countries.

It's not that they are inferior in status, but that they no longer possess a complete personality in their thinking. Although they appear arrogant, they are not as practical as a Westerner's dog. After all, for Westerners, a dog is much more important than a person.

"Are you alright, Teacher Liu?" Xu Zhen asked cautiously from the side.

Liu Zhongze shook his head and comforted her, "It's alright."

"The director has already gone to the set, let's hurry over there too."

"it is good."

As soon as they left, the waiter impatiently came over to wipe the table and cursed in the direction they had left.

Liu Zhongze, who had already left, returned. He was different from before. He stared into the eyes of the smiling waiter and said, word by word, "Pu Lingmu, Wulangzai."

The waiter was taken aback; he hadn't expected Liu Zhongze to be able to understand his dialect.

Liu Zhongze's voice was quite loud, and immediately people in the shop gathered around, carrying some kitchen utensils, looking like they had no good intentions.

There was actually a policeman nearby. Liu Zhongze was certain that the policeman had seen the commotion, but he did not choose to intervene or even call for backup. He simply patrolled.

"Don't think you're something special just because you know a few words of Taiwanese."

Liu Zhongze sneered: "When did the Chaozhou dialect become Taiwanese? A bunch of people who are neither northern nor northern."

Liu Zhongze had met many people from Taiwan in the 80s. Most of them were from the Chaozhou or Fujian regions. The two places are very close to each other, so they must have gone there because they had no other choice during the war.

"Wu Yi!" A man who looked like a chef was about to smash Liu Zhongze with a soup ladle the size of a fist.

But he was too slow. Liu Zhongze exerted force, and his fist landed on his abdomen first.

An ordinary person with no training experience could only clutch their stomach and dry heave on the spot.

This scene startled the others, who dared not say anything more.

The waiter who had previously insulted Liu Zhongze tried to intimidate him by pointing at a nearby policeman and saying, "If you don't want trouble, you'd better leave."

Liu Zhongze stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm afraid?"
