Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 251 Sacrificing for Art?
"Shut up!" Fatty Di quickly covered Zhou Yang's mouth with her hand. After looking around and making sure no one was paying attention, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fatty D withdrew her hand, pouted, and snorted, "Hmm, if you bring this up again, I'll ignore you!"

"Hmm." Zhou Yang nodded slightly, knowing that this matter was not urgent. He smiled and said, "Let's discuss work matters instead."

Upon hearing about work, Fat Di immediately showed an unhappy expression.

"I've been looking at the script for the past few days, and I feel that this role is not suitable for me at all, it doesn't fit my image at all," Dilraba complained.

Indeed, while Ruan Wen's character has a unique temperament, she is somewhat mature, while Fat Di is more like an immature version of Ruan Wen.

However, Zhou Yang already had a plan.

“It’s okay. Once we get to Honggang, I will personally teach you how to play this role well and fully immerse yourself in it,” Zhou Yang encouraged.

Fat Di's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "That's great, Zhou Yang, thank you so much."

After playing popular roles such as Gao Yao, Zhang Xiaojing, Lü Shouyi, and Wang Duoyu, everyone has witnessed Zhou Yang's outstanding acting skills.

Fat Di had been quietly following Zhou Yang's lead. With guidance from such a talented actor as Zhou Yang, she felt her nervousness lessen.

Time flies, and amidst Zhou Yang and Pang Di's pleasant conversation, the plane arrived at Honggang International Airport.

Zhou Yang and Dilraba left the airport, and a moment later, staff members appeared and took them to their hotel.

The two pushed their luggage into the room and realized that the rooms were next to each other.

"Can't I visit other people's homes every day?" Zhou Yang joked.

"Pah! You can't come in if I don't open the door!" Fatty Di immediately opened the door and entered the room.

Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly, went into his room, took a hot shower, and rested for a while.

Zhou Yang was awakened from his deep sleep by a knock on the door. He didn't know how long he had been asleep.

Zhou Yangqi put on a nightgown, opened the door, and saw Song Zuer standing playfully in the doorway, also dressed in nightgown.

A faint fragrance wafted into Zhou Yang's nostrils.

Zhou Yang paused for a moment, then quickly invited Fatty Di into the house. He glanced outside to see if there were any gossip reporters, then closed the door.

"Aren't you worried about gossip reporters coming to see me dressed like this?" Zhou Yang teased.

After all, gossip reporters are everywhere these days, and there's practically no juicy story they can't find.

"Don't worry." Fatty Di winked her pretty eyes mischievously: "Think about it, because of what happened two years ago, everyone will definitely think I hate you, so even if rumors spread, no one will believe them."

Zhou Yang glanced at Fatty Di with surprise; this little girl was quite clever.

"Quick, teach me how to play the role of Ruan Wen." Fatty Di handed Zhou Yang a script, hoping he could guide her.

Zhou Yang then began discussing with Fatty Di how to portray the character Ruan Wen, as the two characters have different personalities and ways of speaking.

Because the character actually has two personalities, each needs to be portrayed separately.

When discussing key points, Zhou Yang even personally demonstrated for Dilraba on the spot.

Fat Di admired Zhou Yang's acting skills, saying she couldn't compare to him, whether in terms of the speed at which she immersed herself in the role or her grasp of it.

Looking at the handsome and outstanding man in front of her, Fatty felt a little sad.

A few months ago, when they participated in a program together, Zhou Yang had just debuted and was far inferior to her. But now, Zhou Yang has left her far behind.

What puzzled Fatty Di even more was that she could never find Ruan Wen's transcendent yet mature temperament.

"I think I might have to wait until I'm older to play this role," Dilraba said with a helpless wry smile.

“I have a plan, but I don’t know if you’re willing to make a sacrifice for art,” Zhou Yang suddenly said.

"To sacrifice for art?" Song Zuer looked at Zhou Yang, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yang leaned down and whispered his solution in her ear. Upon hearing Zhou Yang's suggestion, Tang Zuer immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Two hours later, Song Zuer leaned against Zhou Yang, her face full of joy.

"Sigh, if your fans find out, I'm afraid I'll be hunted down." Zhou Yang couldn't help but sneer.

"I...I made a sacrifice in pursuit of art!" Fatty Di's face turned red as she hurriedly defended herself.

"Haha, great! Our Fatty Di is truly amazing! We've given everything for the great art of film!" Zhou Yang praised with a smile.

"Hmph, that's too perfunctory, there's no sincerity at all!" Fatty Di pouted in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yang paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Then what constitutes sincerity?!"

Fatty D smiled slyly and said, "For example, a complete set of Chanel's latest lipsticks, or a limited edition LV bag, aren't too expensive, only a little over a million."

With a soft "pfft!"
Zhou Yang almost spat out his drink. How could they say this wasn't expensive?
"Just kill me already!!" Zhou Yang finally couldn't help but let out an angry roar like that of a poor man.

The next day, Zhou Yang and Dilraba arrived at the filming location together.

Zhuang Wenqiang was greatly surprised to see the two of them.

He was surprised to find that neither of them had an assistant with them.

"Zhou Yang, aren't you popular in mainland China?" Zhuang Wenqiang asked jokingly.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Zhou Yang was a little confused.

Zhuang Wenqiang explained with a smile: "Some up-and-coming artists I've met before, like Kun Kun and Lu Han, all have seven or eight assistants around them. Even supporting actors who only appear in a few scenes have two or three assistants with them. But if you don't have any assistants, you definitely won't become popular."

"Haha, you really noticed. After all, I don't have hundreds of millions of reposts and comments on my Weibo," Zhou Yang said with a laugh.

Zhou Yang introduced Pang Di to Zhuang Wenqiang, who was immediately drawn to her. The woman's appearance and demeanor perfectly matched the image of Ruan Wen in his mind.

Moreover, Fat Di's eyes carry a hint of maturity, which perfectly matches Ruan Wen's character setting.

Just then, a tall man walked over gracefully, his every move exuding composure and elegance.

Upon seeing this person, Zhou Yang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, extending his hand and saying, "Brother Fa, it's a pleasure to work with you."

This person is none other than Chow Yun-fat, one of the veteran stars of the film industry.

Chow Yun-fat politely bent down to shake hands with Chow Yang, and said with a bright smile, "Chow Yang, I've heard so much about you. I watched your performance as Wang Duoyu, it was very funny, I really liked it."

Hearing Chow Yun-fat's praise, Chow Yang's smile became even brighter. This was an idol of several generations, although he knew it was just Chow Yun-fat being polite.
