Huayu: Just started as a stagehand, but the director's comeback system

Throughout October, the news in the entertainment industry revolved around the two new directors.

Lu Chuan, who just finished filming Hoh Xil, and Jiang Huai, who just won a double yolk award at the Golden Rooster Awards.

Seeing that the trend of praising had already taken hold, various media outlets also jumped in to follow suit, truly making them equals for the time being.

Jianghuai is very satisfied with the current result. Everything is ready, and they are just waiting for the right opportunity.

Not only did the private planning go smoothly, but the filming also went very smoothly.

The film "Beauty Inside" was originally scheduled to wrap up filming at the end of November, but now, before October is even over, most of the scenes have already been filmed.

"Director, I haven't had much work lately. I'd like to take some time to relax with my wife and think about the script."

Since Tong Dawei finished filming, Ning Hao has handed over all of his work in Team B to Jiang Huai, so it doesn't make much difference whether the crew has him or not.

"Alright, let's have dinner together tonight, and you two can go back to Beijing tomorrow."

Jiang Huai thought for a moment and felt that Ning Hao was no longer of any value here, so it would be better to let him go back and study the new script properly.

Therefore, at the dinner that evening, after arranging some internal media work for the other party, Jiang Huai booked the earliest possible flight for Ning Hao and his wife.

The days that followed were much simpler. He filmed movies during the day and worked hard at night, which caused Jiang Huai to lose even more weight, which was already quite little.

Seeing Jiang Huai's behavior, Tong Liya felt that she had gone too far at night and even offered to stay in separate rooms for a few days, but Jiang Huai resolutely refused.

Just like the old saying goes: "All the world's lakes and seas are one pool of water, and the couple's bedroom has five legs."

Jiang Huai was not willing to let her off easily, and he needed to save this disguise for later when he wanted to play the victim.

After going to the hospital for a checkup and confirming that he was perfectly healthy, Jiang Huai became even more reckless.

On November 6th, filming wrapped up for the movie "Beauty Inside". By then, Jiang Huai's dark circles were so severe that makeup couldn't cover them up.

At the wrap party, Jiang Huai declined everyone's concern and, after instructing that the photos taken of him should not be circulated, left the party alone.

This was Jiang Huai's second-hand arrangement. Regardless of how he became so weak, the answer was that he had put too much effort into making the movie.

Once the focus shifts to Lu Chuan, he'll feign misery and reap the rewards.

……

"Honey, have you seen the news lately? Everyone online is praising you."

Zhang Jun noticed that her husband, Lu Chuan, always looked worried and didn't know what was on his mind, so she could only read him news articles praising him.

"You can go out now. Let me have some peace and quiet."

Looking at his wife's smile, Lu Chuan felt annoyed. What bothered him now was not anything else, but how to ask her for a divorce.

This marriage was originally arranged by their parents, and although Lu Chuan agreed to it without hesitation for the sake of his future.

But things are different now. No matter what event he attends, he always sits at the table of famous directors. Lu Chuan no longer needs the help of his wife's family.

Moreover, the other directors' female companions were either celebrities or young models, which had long tempted Lu Chuan. Now he didn't have such high expectations; it wouldn't be a problem to find someone prettier.

After Zhang Jun left the study dejectedly, Lu Chuan felt particularly irritated watching her retreating figure.

Even if the other person's appearance and figure are considered above average among ordinary people, they are absolutely not a good match for him, a famous director.

After locking the study door, Lu Chuan immediately dialed his father's number.

"Son, what's wrong?"

"Dad, I want a divorce."

Upon hearing the words on the phone, Lu Tianming, born in 1943, immediately reprimanded the other party sternly.

Having lived through too many extraordinary times, Lu Tianming had a clear understanding of his son; he had some talent, but he couldn't be considered a genius.

But this talent could make him or break him, so he needs someone around him to keep an eye on him.

That's why he asked his old friend for permission to marry her back then. In the past few years, things have gone smoothly, just as he expected, with Zhang Jun by Lu Chuan's side, despite some ups and downs.

"Dad, no matter what you say, I'm going to get a divorce. I didn't agree to this marriage back then, and I don't need your permission to get a divorce now."

Lu Chuan listened to the lecture on the phone and immediately threw the phone aside. Only after Lu Tianming's side went silent did Lu Chuan express his thoughts.

In the past, he was known as Lu Tianming's son when he went out, but now it's time for the other party to be known as Lu Chuan's father.

Before his father could react, Lu Chuan hung up the phone.

Pushing open the study door, the first thing Lu Chuan saw upon entering was Zhang Jun, whose eyes were red and swollen.

Seeing this, he felt a little sad, but thinking about their future happy life, Lu Chuan felt that the other person was too pretentious and was indeed not suitable for him.

"you……"

"No need to say anything, I'll go pack my bags now and head to the Civil Affairs Bureau later."

Zhang Jun had just come to deliver fruit to Lu Chuan and had overheard the entire conversation between the father and son while standing outside the study.

Having followed Lu Chuan for so long, she truly never expected him to be so ruthless. But it's alright, at least it saves her from suffering in the future.

"Okay, good that you understand. I'll leave you some money."

Seeing how sensible Zhang Jun was, Lu Chuan changed his mind, even though he had originally planned not to give him a penny. Anyway, Zhang Jun was destined to become a great director in the future, so what was a few hundred thousand?

"I don't need it."

Having seen Lu Chuan's true face today, Zhang Jun couldn't bear to look at his disgusting demeanor for even a moment longer.

Back in the bedroom, Zhang Jun wiped away her tears and cut the wedding photo hanging on the wall in half.

The two only have this one photo together. Zhang Jun had thought about taking more photos in the past, but Lu Chuan always used the excuse that he, as a director, needed to pay attention to his image. Ironically, she actually believed him back then.

She didn't have much luggage in the room. After stuffing her clothes and cosmetics into her suitcase, Zhang Jun ignored Lu Chuan's offer to drive her and took a taxi directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Zhang Jun's phone kept ringing in the taxi. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lu Tianming, then hung up immediately.

But Zhang Jun couldn't resist the other party's persistent calls, so he finally answered.

"Dad, you don't need to say anything more. It's impossible for us to be together anymore. I know it's not your fault."

Although Zhang Jun was angry, she knew that Lu Tianming had always been on her side. However, this was the last time he would call her "Dad," and from now on, she would have no connection with the Lu family.

"Sigh, child, it was Lu Chuan who wronged you. I'm apologizing to you on his behalf."

Hearing Zhang Jun's resolute voice, Lu Tianming understood that there was no room for reconciliation between the two. For so many years, she had been the one to tolerate Lu Chuan, and she had suffered a lot.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jun went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Without even glancing at Lu Chuan following behind her, she went directly to the divorce window.
