HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Neither of them could convince the other.

Finally, Zhu Zhu, his face grim, said directly:

"I don't care, you just have to help me figure something out."

"Ha, so you're trying to cling to me? Do I owe you anything?"

Xu Lang wasn't buying it. He scoffed, pushed away Zhu Zhu, and started to get up.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhu was both angry and anxious. She had come here to act coquettishly, throw a tantrum, and ask Xu Lang for some benefits.

But Xu Lang was stubborn and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Seeing Xu Lang about to get up, Zhu Zhu quickly hugged him.

"How can you be like this? You turn on me so easily, can't you even try to comfort me?"

From the moment Xu Lang first met Shen Qingyue after his rebirth, he refused to coax her.

Although I kept saying that the next one would be better.

But after spending more time with him, he would still soften his heart.

For example, just now, Reyza asked him for help. He was initially unwilling to help, but in the end he obediently went.

After all, feelings can develop over time!

Looking at Zhu Zhu, who was embracing him, Xu Lang said:

"Trying to coax you? You'd have to actually listen to that!"

Zhu Zhu, disregarding his naked body, sat up straight, tears welling in his eyes, and sobbed as he spoke.

Do you think I don't know what Jin Jun means?

If there were any other way, why would I bother with him?

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang smiled knowingly and asked curiously:

"Tell me honestly, did you sleep with me just so I would take free photos of you?"

He immediately regretted asking the question and quickly shook his head, cursing under his breath.

"Damn, how could I have asked such a stupid question!"

He tried to stop Zhu Zhu, saying, "Never mind, you don't need to answer this question."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhu still said:

"Yes, but not entirely, you..."

Zhu Zhu looked up at Xu Lang and said in a low voice,

"You're more handsome than him, and you're also... better in that area."

"Damn, you little vixen!"

Xu Lang was "conquered" by this answer. His previously gloomy face turned into a wry smile. He grabbed Zhu Zhu and they pounced on the bed together again.

"Haha, you have good taste. My looks beat 80% of people."

Xu Lang said this with considerable arrogance.

Zhu Zhu, unable to understand Xu Lang's utter nonsense, vented his frustration by getting entangled with Xu Lang again.

After a long while, the sounds of fighting in the room finally subsided again.

Looking at Zhu Zhu beneath him, Xu Lang truly believed the saying "love grows over time".

With a sigh, he said:

Regarding your car issue, I can only say I'll try to think of a solution, since I don't have the resources in that area.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu embraced Xu Lang instead and whispered:

"It's not your fault, I was just too anxious. But I'm content with what you said!"

While Xu Lang and Zhu Zhu were entangled in their passion...

Hengdian World Studios.

The cast and crew of "Chinese Paladin".

At the routine party, Cai Yinong asked the production team, "Is there anything important happening today?"

"Mr. Cai, I have something to attend to."

Huang Haoran, who was in charge of music, recounted his conversation with Xu Lang that day.

"Xu Lang?"

After hearing Huang Haoran's explanation of Xu Lang's identity and requirements, Cai Yinong frowned again; this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Seeing that Cai Yinong did not speak, director Li Guoli continued:

"This Xu Lang is quite a character; he suddenly became famous overnight."

I asked my friends at EE-Media, and they confirmed that "Sour and Sweet Is Me" and the song we've been following, "Always Quiet," were indeed written by him. He also managed Zhang Hanyun. His photography and songwriting skills are both incredibly impressive.

After Li Guoli finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

After a long pause, Cai Yinong asked thoughtfully:

"What do you think Xu Lang means by releasing this song and video at this critical juncture?"

"Looking back now, it definitely wasn't just because I liked the character Lin Yueru."

Li Guoli's words drew nods of agreement from everyone.

"If it's not for that reason, then he only has one purpose."

Cai Yinong's eyes suddenly lit up as she realized what was going on. "Xu Lang's real purpose is to introduce the girl in the video to us."

"you mean..."

Li Guoli frowned as well. "He wants that girl to replace An Yixuan?"

"ha!"

As soon as Li Guoli finished speaking, Producer Liang couldn't help but laugh.

"Who does he think he is? Does he think we can just change him whenever he wants? What a joke! If you ask me, discussing him here is a complete waste of time."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that if what Cai Yinong said was true, then Xu Lang's idea was simply too naive.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Cai Yinong pinched the bridge of her nose and said to Huang Haoran:

"Since such a big production like 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' has already given the cinematographer position to Xu Lang, we don't need to hold back. If he wants the cinematographer position, let him have it. Let's finalize that song first."

As for the rest?

Cai Yinong pondered for a moment and then said:

"Let's see how things go first."

As she got up to leave, she turned back to Li Guoli and instructed him:

"By the way, is An Yixuan still promoting 'The Outsiders' in Taiwan? You'd better contact her there too, but be careful not to mention our opinions, just inform her and don't show any bias."

"Okay, I understand."

Because of Xu Lang's meddling, Cai Yinong didn't get a good night's sleep again.

The next day, Monday.

Xu Lang and Zhu Zhu were busy for most of the night again.

It's already nine o'clock, and the two of them are still sleeping with their butts sticking up.

"Ring ring ring".

Xu Lang's phone rang. He picked it up groggily.

"Hello, who is it?"

Then they heard Zhang Hao's urgent voice coming from the other end.

"Teacher Xu, Brother Xu, Grandpa Xu, where are you?"

"Didn't we agree that there would be an awards ceremony this morning, and an interview with the cast and crew of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"

Holy crap!

Xu Lang checked the time, then slapped his forehead. "Sorry, I overslept. Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

Xu Lang hung up the phone and searched everywhere for his underwear.

Zhu Zhu rubbed his eyes and climbed off Xu Lang.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I have to go right now. There's an awards ceremony this morning, and I'm the main character. I can't miss it."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu became interested and began to speak while quickly tidying himself up.

"Wait for me, I'll go with you."

After last night, especially after Xu Lang promised to find a way to help her with GG, Zhu Zhu stopped thinking about it and completely relied on Xu Lang.

9:30.

The two rushed out of the hotel, hailed a taxi, and sped off to the school.

Fortunately, the hotel wasn't far from the school; it only took about ten minutes to reach the school gate.

As soon as he got out of the car, Xu Lang sensed that something was wrong.

Looking at the huge banner at the entrance, the red carpet, and the backdrop, Zhu Zhu was also a little confused.

"Xu Lang, what's going on? Are there any celebrities coming to your school today?"

Xu Lang also had doubts, "Why make such a big fuss over an awards ceremony?"

As he was lost in thought, he heard someone calling him from not far away.

"Teacher Xu, over here."

Xu Lang looked up and saw Su Wan waving at him from inside the doorway, waving so vigorously that her breasts seemed to shake.

Xu Lang strode over and looked at Su Wan in surprise.

"Why are you even wearing a formal dress? Are you going to a cocktail party?"

Before Su Wan could speak, another anxious voice came from the side.

"Xu Lang, why don't you change into something more formal?"

Looking back, it was Qin Feifei who was speaking; she was also dressed in a luxurious gown.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go change your clothes!"

Urged on by Qin Feifei and Su Wan, Xu Lang hurried towards the dormitory.

After changing into more formal clothes, Xu Lang went downstairs and followed the crowd toward the awards ceremony.

As they were walking, they heard the voices of Jiang Wei, Mao Jian, and Zhang Yanbin behind them.

"Third brother, you're in good spirits today! Come on, let's go see which bastard pulled some dirty tricks and stole your championship!"

"Well..."

Hearing this, Xu Lang felt helpless.

"Damn, getting insulted like this and not even being able to talk back is so frustrating!"
