HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

"Xu Lang, let me tell you, if you dare to lie to me, I'll teach you a lesson."

Even after arriving at Xu Lang's doorstep, Liu Tao was still muttering "fiercely."

"Sister Tao, why would I lie to you? Don't worry!"

With that, Xu Lang opened the door and pushed Liu Tao into the room.

"Bang!"

The door closed, and Xu Lang pinned Liu Tao against the wall, laughing as he said:

"Sister Tao, before we look at the characters, I need to help you review our relationship, otherwise you might forget it."

As he spoke, he smiled and kissed Liu Tao's red lips directly.

"Well..."

Liu Tao patted Xu Lang's shoulders with both hands, muttering incoherently.

"Xu Lang, you liar! I knew you were up to no good! You... Waaah!"

Xu Lang treated Liu Tao's struggles as nothing more than a bit of fun.

Sure enough, Liu Tao soon wrapped his arms around Xu Lang's neck, and the two began to kiss passionately.

The phrase "Come back with me to see the script" is just like the later saying "Come back with me, my cat can do backflips"—the speaker is being hypocritical, and the listener is only half-heartedly agreeing.

Once you agree, something is bound to happen.

But if you just "read the script" or "watch a cat do a backflip," the story will turn into an accident!

Liu Tao already carried the label of "charming and virtuous wife," and this wasn't her first time with Xu Lang, so she naturally didn't have much restraint.

There's no need to pretend!

The two were like dry tinder and a raging fire, ready to ignite at the slightest touch.

Or rather, Liu Tao was more anxious.

On the plane, she was flirted with by the designer the whole way, and if Xu Lang hadn't "revealed the secret" beforehand, she would have gone with him.

Now that Xu Lang has snatched the prize from her, she's channeled all the energy she had for being flirted with by the designer onto Xu Lang.

Under the influence of the Succubus Divine Skill, Xu Lang was only able to maintain a balance of offense and defense with Liu Tao, going back and forth, thanks to his attribute points.

The sound of geese being sung never stopped from mid-afternoon onwards.

Fortunately, Xu Lang rented an apartment in a high-end residential area with decent soundproofing.

Even so, Xu Lang was determined to buy a detached villa once Huayi Brothers' first payment arrived.

Otherwise, you can't even scream freely, it's so stifling!

"Ahhhh!"

Liu Tao groaned and collapsed completely onto the bed, his face flushed with satisfaction.

Xu Lang wiped the sweat from his brow, lay down beside Liu Tao, and held her delicate body in his arms. Xu Lang whispered:

"Sister Tao, only I can withstand your succubus skills. From now on, you'll stay with me and stop harming others."

"Are you trying to get yourself killed? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Although Liu Tao complained, she was genuinely growing to like Xu Lang more and more, and she was even starting to agree with what he said.

"You know what, Xu Lang is definitely the most capable!"

Lying on top of Xu Lang, Liu Tao asked with a smile:

"What, are you determined to keep me as your sugar daddy?"

"Of course, I'm absolutely serious about that."

Seeing Xu Lang's expression, Liu Tao just smiled and didn't say anything.

However, looking at Liu Tao's expression, Xu Lang knew that she still felt his strength was not enough.

Thinking of this, he wasn't in a hurry and said to Liu Tao:

"Sister Tao, you don't need to rush this. Three years. Give me three years, and give yourself three years. Then you can choose, okay?"

"Three years?"

Liu Tao was genuinely surprised by Xu Lang's persistence.

"Three years has passed; you're probably already tired of me."

"How is that possible?"

Xu Lang categorically denied it.

He too had come from a life of romance, and he agreed with what Liu Tao said. After all, even the most beautiful person can become tiresome over time.

"Sister Tao, you're different. Your succubus charm is magical; I can't get enough of it."

"You little rascal, all you do is sweet-talk me into being happy."

"As long as I'm happy, what more could I ask for!"

The two of them were talking nonsense, one after the other.

Then, Xu Lang stood up, took a piece of paper from the table, and handed it to Liu Tao.

"Sister Tao, I've analyzed all the female lead characters in 'Lotus Lantern,' and I think the one who suits you best is Chang'e."

"Chang'e?"

Upon hearing that it was just a supporting role, Liu Tao couldn't help but purse her lips. She thought Xu Lang was being perfunctory, but when she saw what was written on the paper, she was stunned.

The paper was covered with dense writing, the first part of which was an analysis of her figure, temperament, and suitable roles.

The following section includes character analyses of the main female characters: Xiaoyu (female lead #1), Dingxiang (female lead #2), and the Third Holy Mother (female lead #3).

After the analysis, the next step is to determine the compatibility with Liu Tao.

Liu Tao was quite surprised to see this analysis. She had previously thought that Xu Lang brought her to see the character analysis purely for the sake of intimacy.

"I didn't expect you to actually prepare something for me?"

Liu Tao excitedly kissed Xu Lang, feeling a surge of emotion.

"You've put your heart into this!"

As Liu Tao spoke, he looked at Xu Lang's literal evaluation and analysis of himself:

Tao Jie is 168cm tall and weighs 50kg. She has a well-developed frame, smooth shoulder and back lines, an upright and dignified posture, and a well-proportioned and elegant figure.

With a gentle and reserved temperament, he possesses a profound sense of compassion. His acting skills lie in concealing struggles and regrets beneath a calm demeanor, conveying emotions through his eyes.

. . . . . .

After a lengthy analysis, Xu Lang wrote a few words, which served as a summary of Liu Tao's analysis:

The hardness beneath the gentleness!

Upon seeing these words, Liu Tao was deeply shocked. Looking at Xu Lang, who was embracing her, she thought to herself:

"This young man's analysis of me is really quite insightful, even more accurate than my own. His summary of 'hardness beneath gentleness' is excellent!"

Thinking of this, filled with emotion and excitement, she climbed onto Xu Lang's chest once more.

"Xu Lang, I appreciate your sincerity. I'll listen to you. Whatever role you ask me to play, I'll play."

Before she could finish speaking, she eagerly kissed Xu Lang.

Soon, the sound of singing about geese rang out again, this time with Liu Tao's voice filled with extra passion and emotion.

In the following days, Liu Tao simply stayed at Xu Lang's house.

Xu Lang went to the neighboring Beijing Film Studio every day to audition for roles in "Lotus Lantern".

At first, Xu Lang was full of expectations for the audition, thinking he would see a lot of beautiful women.

But in reality, the preliminary interviews were a complete disaster, with all sorts of bizarre people appearing, which made Xu Lang lose interest. He was looking forward to it every day.

When is Park Si-yeon, who plays the Third Holy Mother, coming to the show?!

However, one sentence from the assistant director immediately made him give up.

"These kinds of lead roles will have to wait until after the new year; we won't be going through the open audition process."

"Well..."

Xu Lang was speechless for a moment, and immediately lost interest in this visual director.

Helpless, he could only turn his interest to other things.

Seeing that Xu Lang would finish "studying" him every day and then concentrate on reading, Liu Tao was quite surprised. He flipped through the books Xu Lang was reading.

"Hey, you're reading books about directing now? What, are you switching careers to become a director?"

"That's the idea!"

Xu Lang didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.
