HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Changsha, Hunan.

After getting off work in the evening, Yang Ying and Liu Yan were snuggling on the sofa, eating snacks and watching TV, gossiping non-stop, talking about this and that, criticizing everyone in the station one by one.

Just then, Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise and waved to Yang Ying.

"Barbie, come look! Has Lang Ge officially announced it?"

"What was the official announcement? Let me see."

Yang Ying leaped to Liu Yan's side and looked at the newspaper in her hand.

"Is a cross-border romance on the horizon? South Korean actress Park Si-yeon was photographed on a date with renowned Chinese photographer Xu Lang."

[Photo Gallery: Park Si-yeon secretly meets with up-and-coming photographer in Beijing; their interaction on the street is described as ambiguous!]

"Is Park Si-yeon, who played the Third Holy Mother in 'The Lotus Lantern,' in a relationship with a mainland photographer? The two took a late-night stroll together."

. . . . . .

"what?"

Seeing these headlines and looking at the pictures in the newspaper, Yang Ying recognized the figures at a glance, even though they were blurry.

It's Xu Lang!

She knew exactly how many hairs were on Xu Lang's body, how could she not recognize him?

Wow~~~!

Yang Ying yelled and started punching the cushions on the sofa, muttering angrily and viciously.

"Xu Lang, you heartless bastard! You're not satisfied with what you have in China, so you've started to indulge in foreign delicacies!"

I'm so angry!

Looking at Yang Ying's outburst, Liu Yan felt both understanding and helplessness.

During this time, she worked with Yang Ying, and since they were in the same studio, they grew closer and closer.

Liu Yan is very tolerant, and Yang Ying is very easygoing. Living under the same roof, they get along quite well.

Yang Ying tells Liu Yan everything, especially intimate things with Xu Lang, where she speaks without restraint.

It carries both the connotation of showing off and the idea of ​​asserting sovereignty.

Every time Liu Yan heard Yang Ying talk about her and Xu Lang, she would feel a pang of envy and a strange sourness in her heart.

After all, Xu Lang was a good person, handsome, talented, and his own boss.

Who wouldn't want someone like that?!

Although she felt a pang of sadness, Liu Yan listened with great interest whenever Yang Ying spoke.

Not for any other reason than to learn more about Xu Lang from Yang Ying.

"Sigh, what can I do? I'm the least noticeable nobody in the studio. I bet even Brother Lang has forgotten about me."

Liu Yan often sighed like this.

This time, seeing Xu Lang's gossip in the newspaper, her heart ached again.

Looking at Yang Ying, who was on the verge of madness, she finally felt no envy, only pity.

"Alas, the deeper she fell, the deeper her wounds!"

"Xu Lang, you big pervert!"

Yang Ying crumpled the cushion, then suddenly announced loudly,

"No way, I'm quitting tomorrow. I'm going back to Beijing to keep an eye on him. Otherwise, if he gets seduced by that little vixen, I'll be miserable!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yan quickly stopped Yang Ying.

"Barbie, don't be impulsive. You're currently the station's most popular young actress. What will happen to the show if you leave?"

"I don't care, I'm leaving!"

Unlike Yang Ying's outburst, Zhang Liangying from Chengdu was much quieter.

Looking at Xu Lang's information in the newspaper, Zhang Liangying sat there without moving for more than an hour.

However, her slightly trembling shoulders betrayed her state of mind.

Tears streamed down her face, soaking the sheet music on the table.

After a long while, her hands trembled as she picked up the "Super Girl" application form, a moment of hesitation crossing her mind.

"No, I have to go to Beijing. I can't stay in Chengdu any longer."

With a heavy heart, Zhang Liangying tore the registration form she had just filled out to shreds.

Hengdian World Studios.

The crew of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" has just started filming.

Inside the hotel suite, An Yixuan and Tang Yan were originally in their respective rooms.

But soon, An Yixuan, holding a newspaper, hurriedly knocked on Tang Yan's door.

The door opened, and Tang Yan's eyes were red and moist, clearly she had just been crying.

An Yixuan glanced at her and asked:

"You watched it too?"

Seeing An Yixuan's worried expression, Tang Yan knew what she was talking about without even asking.

"Yes, I saw it."

Then, Tang Yan couldn't hold back her tears and they started falling again.

"Sister An, tell me, why isn't he satisfied?"

"Hmph, he's a big pervert!"

Originally, An Yixuan and Tang Yan would never have lived together.

After all, Tang Yan knew about the ambiguous relationship between An Yixuan and Xu Lang;

An Yixuan was also aware of the ambiguous relationship between Tang Yan and Xu Lang;

They were practically rivals in love, if not rivals.

But after spending a long time away from home, the two found that they had no one to talk to.

The two began to grow closer because they came from the same studio.

As the conversation progressed, it naturally inevitably turned to Xu Lang.

Soon, the two went from being enemies to sharing a similar plight.

So the two of them decided to book a suite and move in together.

It's fun to curse Xu Lang together every now and then.

"Tangtang, let's ask for leave and go back to settle accounts with Xu Lang!"

Tang Yan was also very tempted by An Yixuan's suggestion.

After all, she didn't want Xu Lang, such a valuable asset, to be snatched away by outsiders.

In the past, even An Yixuan hadn't revealed anything to Xu Lang; everyone kept things private, which made it easier for Tang Yan to accept.

Now that someone has spoken out, the others are immediately feeling uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's ask for leave and go back to settle accounts with Xu Lang!"

The two looked into each other's eyes and found courage and support in each other's eyes.

Jiuzhaigou, the film crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Qin Feifei felt a strange pang of pain in her heart after seeing the gossip about Xu Lang in the newspaper.

Originally, she was a proud woman, but because of Xu Lang, she lowered herself and willingly became the lover of an underground party member.

After her last near-drowning incident, Qin Feifei felt she had come to terms with things.

"Why ask for so much? Just focus on the present and be happy."

But seeing Xu Lang's gossip at this moment, she was still unable to maintain her composure.

"That little pervert, he's even gone abroad to have his way with women! He's utterly shameless!"

Clenching her fist, Qin Feifei made up her mind.

"Fortunately, the crew has just assembled, and I need to go back before filming officially starts."

Meanwhile, in the room not far away next door...

Liu Xiaoli was holding a newspaper and giving a lesson to Liu Yifei.

"Look, look, I told you that kid was no good, now he's hooking up with foreign girls."

You still think about this kind of person every day, my silly daughter, he's not worth it!

Upon seeing the message, Liu Yifei felt inexplicably choked up.

But on the surface, she still smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Mom, these are just paparazzi rumors. Look, they didn't do anything overtly intimate. It's probably just a publicity stunt!"

"Popularity stunt?"

Liu Xiaoli pointed to Liu Yifei's forehead.

"You're so generous? Then why didn't you agree to cooperate with Brother Hu in this publicity stunt a while ago, when Tangren asked you to?"

"Well..."

This question really stumped Liu Yifei.

After a long pause, Liu Yifei finally spoke:

"Mom, I don't think we can make things too tense with Tangren. Why don't you send a reply to President Cai and tell him that I agree to cooperate with the company's publicity stunt?"

"Well..."

This time, it was Liu Xiaoli's turn to be surprised. She couldn't quite understand her daughter's thought process.

"Did he go crazy from the shock?"

Just as I was about to ask, I heard Liu Yifei say:

"By the way, Mom, I'd like to go back to Beijing these next couple of days while filming is off. I need to ask Xu Lang about the script for 'Struggle'."
