The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 355 The three older sisters agreed! "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is released!
……

Nazha ran into Hanikezi in her office building.

Although the two have opened their own independent studios, their office buildings are in the same location, only their offices are different.

The office location was simply moved from downstairs to upstairs.

It's still inside the Yuankun Media building.

However, this floor used to be used as a conference room, as well as Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan's offices.

Aside from the meeting room, there are only two offices. Everyone in the company can guess what Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan do in the office every day.

"Honey, right now, I want to sing you a song."

A couple of days ago, Nazha asked Hanikezi if she wanted to go out and have fun together.

As a result, Hanikezi told her that he was waiting for someone at Sayram Lake.

Who is she waiting for? Even a fool could guess that she is waiting for Lu Zhiyuan.

As a result, Hanikezi returned dejectedly after only a few days.

Naza guessed that she probably didn't wait for Lu Zhiyuan and might even have been scolded.

Otherwise, why is Hanikezi so listless today?
They'll definitely get a lot of flak.

Even worse than Dilraba back then!
So, as a good friend, Nazha couldn't help but secretly rejoice... no, she should say she felt a little sorry for Hanikezi and wanted to comfort her.

"What song is it?"

Hanikezi raised his head, stretched, and rubbed his sleepy eyelids.

Lu Zhiyuan did not refuse her, which made her so excited that she couldn't sleep for two nights. She had already started to fantasize about how happy and fulfilling her life would be from now on.
Every day, lying in bed, she couldn't help but dream about the future.

One moment I'm wondering if I could get pregnant before Dilraba?
If Reba gets really angry, how should I comfort her?
Then she thought about how she had become Lu Zhiyuan's favorite, and how Dilraba and Jing Tian would glare at her every day, but they couldn't do anything about it...

Stop!

This is not how I, Hanikezi, conduct myself.

I must maintain good relationships with my three older sisters so that we can all get along well. We've agreed that Lu Zhiyuan can only have four female confidantes!
Because that's what it says in that ancient, sacred book.

If there are more than four, the family will definitely not be happy.

In short, although Hanikezi had plenty of free time on his body these past two nights, his mind was quite busy.

“Honey, listen carefully. This is how the song goes.”

When Nazha saw that Hanikezi was indeed looking upset, with her eyes starting to redden, she felt that she had guessed correctly.

Hanikezi must have gotten a good scolding from Lu Zhiyuan!
As a close friend, Nazha began to comfort Hanikezi in her own way.

At this moment, Nazha unleashed her enigmatic singing voice: "The price paid for love is unforgettable."

"All the sincere and devoted words will forever remain in my heart, even though he is no longer here."

"Let's go, let's go, people always have to learn to grow up on their own..."

and many more!

What song is being sung?

It sounds somewhat familiar, but that's about it. How come the lyrics and melody are on completely different levels?
At that moment, Hanikezi was a little confused until Nazha sang the climax, "Let's go, let's go," and she finally came to her senses.

The song is called "The Price of Love".

A classic song filled with regret, youth, and letting go.

Most importantly, let go.

After all, people have to learn to grow up on their own.

"Sister Nazha, thank you so much."

Hanikezi rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Although you mean well, I don't need it. You can sing it to yourself when you're bored!"
You're welcome. We're best friends.

Naza smiled and put her arm around Hanikezi's shoulder, wanting to give her some warmth.

Hanikezi couldn't keep up the act any longer and tried to change the subject: "Sister Nazha, congratulations on landing the Prada endorsement. From now on, you'll be the 'Queen of Prada'."

You're so silly.

But you are a nice person.

"Hehe, congratulations to you too."

Naza was particularly happy when this was mentioned.

While Hanikezi stole most of the limelight from her role as the female lead in "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Gulnazar has also found her own niche.

She is the next luxury princess after Anne Hathaway!

Although Hanikezi is also a princess, she is a spirited, lovely, and pure little princess.

She is the kind of radiant, mature princess that mature men admire!

Although both are princesses, they follow different paths, and their fashion styles don't overlap. They can still remain good friends.

There's no need to tear each other apart over resources.

"Sister Nazha, take your time and enjoy yourself. I'm leaving now."

Hanikezi has tasks to complete today, so she won't be chatting with Nazha at the company.

Naza asked with some surprise, "Honey, you left so early? Yuan is still in a meeting upstairs. Aren't you going to wait for him to get off work so we can leave together?"

"Not suitable."

Hanikezi gave Nazha a deep look, and then, following Nazha's intellect, said with a hint of coldness and ruthlessness, "Not suitable."

It looks like love turned to hate.

"Yes, yes. It's really not appropriate. You can go now."

Naza quickly covered her mouth, expressing her apologies and saying that she didn't mean to bring up your sad story again.

"hehe."

Naza's acting is terrible; she practically has gloating written all over her face.

Hanikezi was too lazy to even say anything.

She picked up her small bag and left half an hour early, asking the driver to take her to Lu Zhiyuan's house.

Gao Yuanyuan gets off work at 4 pm and comes home to take care of the child. She's already home by now.

Hanikezi composed herself and approached with a smile: "Sister Yuanyuan, I went on a trip a while ago and brought you a small gift. I hope you like it."

"what gift?"

Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously.

Hanikezi liked to give them small gifts, and at first, Gao Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed to accept them. But after it happened a few times, she began to figure out what Hanikezi wanted to do.

She was initially wary.

However, she gradually realized that being vigilant was useless.

Because she is the kind of person who swallows her anger and would never take the initiative to fight back.

Especially after her older brother gave her a notorious case from game theory, the "mattress problem."

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly realized that Hanikezi was the "mattress problem" in their home.

Everyone knows that Hanikezi has problems.

However, everyone silently pretended not to know and avoided the issue.

Over time, this mattress problem has become the biggest trouble in the family.

"A women's wristwatch."

Hanikezi presented Gao Yuanyuan with a Cartier ladies' watch because she is a Cartier ambassador and the brand has given her many gifts.

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at it and was able to instantly estimate that the watch cost around 50 yuan.

However, for Hanikezi, a young woman with a small fortune, 50 yuan is just her daily income.

After accepting the gift, Gao Yuanyuan asked unhurriedly, "Do Reba and Jing Tian also have some?"

Hanikezi chuckled, neither denying it nor denying it, but emphasized, "Sister Yuanyuan, although I have them all, this watch of yours is the one I chose after careful consideration. It's the most elegant."

"Have a heart."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled faintly, and after coaxing the child to sleep, she gave Hanikezi a meaningful look: "Hani, I know what you mean."

"what?"

Hanikezi was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red with embarrassment: "Is it that obvious?"

Gao Yuanyuan opened the watch and took a look. It was indeed quite beautiful. She tried it on her wrist and was quite satisfied.

She then spoke up, saying, "Ever since we finished filming 'Mojin: The Lost Legend,' you've stopped calling me 'Master's Wife' and have been calling me 'Sister' all the time.' Your little schemes are written all over your face."

A hint of shame crossed Hanikezi's face. She took Gao Yuanyuan's hand, lowered her head, and said pitifully, "Sister Yuanyuan, I'm sorry. I used to think I could control myself, but now I realize I can't control myself at all. I believe you can understand."

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Hanikezi and patted her head: "I understand you. But Jing Tian and Reba might not be as easy to talk to as I am."

In the game of gunfights, the weaker party must always appear weak so that the two stronger parties start fighting. Only then will the weaker party have a chance to break through the encirclement.

In public discourse, when faced with a mattress issue, everyone will step aside because it is the most rational choice each person makes based on their own interests.

Gao Yuanyuan believed in her older brother's intelligence.

Anyway, she was already completely baffled by these complex game theory problems, and her intelligence was simply not up to the task. She had no other choice but to trust her older brother.

Fortunately, over the years, her older brother has never let her down.

"Sister Yuanyuan, thank you."

"I knew it, you're the best to me."

Hanikezi hugged Gao Yuanyuan, pretending to be very moved, but secretly clenched her fist tightly.

Great, I easily got the first one sorted out.

“Honey, I will always remember when I was first pregnant, Jing Tian came to me in a rage, and you stood in front of me, not backing down an inch. You were inseparable from me, protecting me with your small body.”

"Although you are small, only a little over 1.5 meters tall, in my heart, at that moment you were like a little hero, the world's strongest in my heart, Artemis."

Gao Yuanyuan hinted to Hanikezi that although she arrived the latest, the bond between the two of them was the deepest.

"Sister Yuanyuan, actually, I'm 1.62 meters tall."

Hanikezi was very touched by what Gao Yuanyuan said earlier, but she still wanted to emphasize the topic of height again at the end.

Why does everyone think she's only a little over 1.5 meters tall?

She's clearly 1.62 meters tall!

This is data she absolutely cannot back down from!

If you don't believe me, you can go offline and compare it with her!
"Don't always wear platform shoes, they make you look clumsy and silly. You're a grown woman now, if you have time, I'll go with you to buy some high heels."

Gao Yuanyuan's statement was a tactful way of indicating her willingness to accept Hanikezi.

Anyway, she was nameless and had no status, so she couldn't stop anything.

"Sister Yuanyuan, thank you."

Hanikezi hadn't expected things to go so smoothly with Gao Yuanyuan. She thanked her repeatedly and then left in a hurry.

I went to find Jing Tian.

……

Jing Tian is preparing for another film crew.

After Wanda acquired Legendary Pictures, it began working on the MonsterVerse.

Lu Zhiyuan has elevated the Godzilla IP to a whole new level.

So, Legendary Pictures also needs to demonstrate its capabilities and revive the King Kong IP.

Otherwise, how can we connect with the MonsterVerse?

Therefore, Legendary Pictures started a new project called "Kong: Skull Island", with Tom Hiddleston as the male lead and Emily Blunt as the female lead!
Godzilla and King Kong both star Tom Hiddleston.

In this way, two monster movies can be forcibly linked by Tom Hiddleston as the male lead.

Regardless, Legendary Pictures plans to film it first.

When Lu Zhiyuan has free time, we'll link the two universes and create a super box office hit!
Jing Tian played a supporting role in this movie.

She originally thought that since she was the female lead in the "Great Wall" project, she might not have time to go there to play the female lead, so she asked for a supporting role.

Who knew that her leading lady would be stolen away by Fan Binbin!
It's really unpleasant.

……

"Sister Tian Tian, ​​are you leaving for Los Angeles next week?"

Hanikezi found Jingtian and was utterly astonished to discover that Jingtian was packing her clothes.

Is Jing Tian really going to such lengths to become a female celebrity? What drove her to be so determined to surpass Dilraba?
"Ah."

Jing Tian calmly nodded, then began to complain about Lu Zhiyuan: "That jerk, he's always criticizing my acting. I just don't believe that I can't become famous without him?"

It definitely won't be a hit!
I don't even want to watch movies with high tolerance for mere curiosity, let alone anyone else.

Hanikezi silently complained to himself.

But on the surface, she hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not. Sister Tian, ​​you are beautiful and have a great figure. Looking at the whole world, you are the most beautiful woman. You are full of oriental charm and are simply a national beauty."

Hanikezi showered Jing Tian with flattery, making her laugh: "You silly girl, I know exactly what you're thinking. Since you call me sister, I naturally won't treat you like an outsider."

"I suspect that Gao Yuanyuan won't refuse either."

“I know Gao Yuanyuan; she has a very soft personality. As long as that bastard likes her, she will almost always obey him. That’s her way of dealing with people.”

"Your biggest challenge is figuring out how to convince Reba, your wonderful older sister!"

“I remember, Reba was there when that bastard took you as his apprentice. She was willing to do anything for that bastard back then. I don’t even need to guess, she must have made a lot of promises to you.”

Now, Dilraba, just like herself, has been hit by a boomerang, hasn't she?

Ha ha!

You have today too!
"Sister, thank you. This is a gift I'm giving you to show my respect."

Hanikezi was amazed to hear how clever Jing Tian was; she knew what Hanikezi was thinking even before Hanikezi had spoken.

It's really frightening.

Fortunately, Jing Tian's only thorn in her side is Dilraba.

It has nothing to do with her.

At this moment, Hanikezi hurriedly presented his gift, a Cartier ladies' watch, with both hands.

“Good taste.”

Jing Tian glanced at her watch, praised it, and casually placed it aside: "Go on with your work. Next time we have a family dinner, I hope you can formally call me 'sister'."

"Sister, I'll always be on your side."

Hanikezi quickly swore an oath to show his loyalty.

Jing Tian turned around to pack her clothes, waving her hand: "Go ahead. I hope Dilraba is as easy to talk to as I am. Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain."

Hanikezi frowned immediately.

There are three major hurdles, and two have already been overcome. Only Reba remains as the remaining hurdle.

Could it be that Dilraba, who is closest to him, has become his biggest obstacle?

No way?
……

The movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" is about to be released.

Dilraba is currently with Happy Twist, preparing for the final screening of her film. She will be the organizer of the upcoming premiere.

This was the first time she had ever handled something so important.

In the past, Xin Yukun would handle these kinds of things for Lu Zhiyuan, and she would just follow Lu Zhiyuan around, acting as a pretty vase.

Now that she's in charge, she realizes that these trivial matters are incredibly numerous and complex.

My subordinates are all idiots.

Even how guests sign in upon arrival requires her confirmation?

"Sister Dilraba, why are you still working overtime?"

Hanikezi had already had a big meal outside. After eating and drinking her fill, she called Reba and learned that Reba was still working overtime at Happy Twist.

She was dumbfounded.

Because Dilraba has become a strong woman, and strong women are never easy to talk to!

"The movie is going to be released tomorrow, and this is the most crucial battle for me to prove myself. I'm afraid I'll have to stay up all night at the company tonight."

When a female celebrity reaches the end of her career, she needs to find a new path to prove herself.

In the entertainment industry, celebrities are just tools.

Those capitalists, if they want to promote someone, can do so at any cost. If that doesn't work, they can just promote someone else.

In short, capital always has a way.

In particular, there is a great director like Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan doesn't care who the lead actors are in his special effects blockbusters.

If he just randomly picked two pretty young girls, Lu Zhiyuan could easily spend a little more time making a very good movie.

If a movie becomes a box office hit, even if the female lead is Sister Feng, she can become famous all over the world.

of course.

Lu Zhiyuan has always had very high standards of aesthetics; without exception, all the female protagonists in his movies are beautiful young girls.

The movie was a huge hit, the character was perfectly designed, and she had a youthful appearance. How could such a leading lady not become a star?
Dilraba originally thought she was unique.

Without his own voice, Lu Zhiyuan's movies might not have been so popular.

But "Mojin: The Lost Legend" was a box office smash.

It became Lu Zhiyuan's highest-grossing film besides "Real Steel 3".

This made Dilraba realize that if Hanikezi and Gulnazar were given the opportunity, they could become just as famous as she was.

She is nothing special.

This put a lot of pressure on Dilraba.

At this moment, Reba looked up and glanced at Hanikezi: "What's wrong? Tell me quickly. I have a meeting to attend later."

Hanikezi originally wanted to speak her mind.

But at this moment, before she could finish speaking, she changed her mind: "Sister Dilraba, I'll be going to the premiere of 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' with my teacher tomorrow to help you generate some buzz."

"Then thank you in advance."

Reba didn't think much of it at first, but after pondering for a while, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She looked up, her gaze immediately sharpening as she stared at Hanikezi: "What do you mean? You two are walking the red carpet together? What about me?"

At that moment, Dilraba almost laughed out of anger.

Hanikezi mustered her courage and said hesitantly, "If Hu Bayi and Ding Sitian walk the red carpet together, the buzz might be even greater."

“Sister Dilraba, walking the red carpet with the teacher will generate a lot of buzz for the movie, which will be very helpful for your career. Isn’t that right?”

That being said.

But something seems a little off.

Dilraba let out a long sigh, then couldn't help but ask, "Can't you walk the red carpet with Gulnazar?"

Hanikezi gave a wry smile and said, feigning helplessness, "What kind of two female celebrities walk the red carpet together?"

"Too."

Reba thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Then wear a pair of nicer high heels tomorrow, don't always wear your platform shoes. They look awful."

"understood."

Hanikezi nodded obediently.

Dilraba was indeed difficult to win over; she wouldn't listen to reason.

We still need to wait for the right opportunity.

“Sister Reba, I went back to my hometown a while ago and made a special trip to Sayram Lake to get you a lucky charm.”

"May it bless you to have a son soon."

Reba wasn't interested in receiving any luxury gifts, but Hanikezi knew exactly what Reba wanted.

Children are Reba's Achilles' heel.

Upon hearing this, Dilraba became very interested, her eyes lighting up: "Where's the lucky charm? Let me see!"

"This is it."

Hanikezi took out a string of ruby ​​bracelets. Each ruby ​​was like a pomegranate seed, and its brilliance was dazzling.

Reba quickly put the ruby ​​bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile, "It looks very useful. Thank you, honey!"

"You're welcome."

Hanikezi hesitated for a moment, then decided to leave temporarily: "Sister Reba, I'm leaving now."

"and many more."

Reba called out "Wait a moment," then looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Hanikezi: "Hani, I know what you want to say."

"But I advise you not to do that."

"Everyone else is fine, but you are not."

Upon hearing this, Hanikezi was struck dumb, his whole body swayed, and a strange sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.

Tears couldn't stop flowing.

"why?"

Hanikezi gritted his teeth and asked Reba.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jing Tian both agree, but you disagree.

Aren't we best friends?

Back then, wasn't it you who tricked me into coming to Yanjing with you?
If it weren't for your persuasion, I might have hesitated for a while longer.

Reba closed the door, looked down at Hanikezi, their eyes met, and she said resolutely, "Because what you're doing will ruin his reputation!"

"In the future, when others mention him, they will most likely say something like, 'Oh, him? He's a great movie actor, but he's quite old and had a teacher-student relationship...' You definitely won't like topics like that."

Hanikezi couldn't help but want to refute, "Who said the teacher is old?"

He's only 8 years older than me, not 18!
But she had to admit that Dilraba was right.

Teacher-student relationships are generally considered unpleasant. Moreover, since they are public figures, public opinion will only be more demanding of them.

"You can all do it! Why can't I? This isn't fair to me!"

Hanikezi practically yelled those words at Reba, then turned and walked away.

Lies don't hurt people.

The truth is the sharpest knife, cutting her heart to the core!
……

The next day was Qixi Festival.

Considering Lu Zhiyuan's schedule, the premiere of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was scheduled for 6 p.m.

If the event is held in the early morning, Lu Zhiyuan will most likely... come as well.

This is Dilraba's first film after joining Mahua FunAge, which has been in preparation for a long time.

If this movie becomes a hit, Dilraba will have proven herself, showing that she can succeed even without Lu Zhiyuan.

Her status in the entertainment industry will rise dramatically! Of course.

This is just Dilraba's own opinion.

Without Lu Zhiyuan, she wouldn't even know which way the door to Happy Twist would open... Mr. Zhang, the general manager of Happy Twist, wasn't stupid either; how could he possibly let her invest?
Entertainment companies are never short of funds.

What's lacking is the network of contacts and various resources that this funding can bring!

Without Lu Zhiyuan, Dilraba would just be a beautiful female celebrity, absolutely unqualified to become a member of the capital group.

Just look at Fan Binbin and you'll know.

With such a big reputation and so much money, all he can do is set up a studio and invest in producing some random TV dramas.

Where is the opportunity to become a top-tier capital firm?
The class barriers in the entertainment industry are much stricter than you might imagine.

……

The early morning of Qixi Festival.

Hanikezi is having trouble sleeping again; this is the third day already.

Two days ago, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about all sorts of things and dreaming about her wonderful future.

But today, Dilraba's comment about a teacher-student relationship woke her up!

She really couldn't sleep; she just couldn't fall asleep.

And I was feeling very down.

"Sister Nazha, today is Qixi Festival, and I feel so sad. Can you go see a movie with me?"

Among the movies released on Qixi Festival, there will definitely be youth films.

Hanikezi needs to watch a coming-of-age film right now.

By seeing how much pain others experience in coming-of-age films, she can compare herself to them and realize that she's not so miserable after all.

"right away!"

"Honey, I knew it! You've been holding it in for the past couple of days. Today, you finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and I was all ready!"

Nazha thought Hanikezi had been heartbroken for several days, and that she hadn't shown much reaction the first two days because she was just slow to react.

It's past midnight now, it's already Qixi Festival.

really.

On Qixi Festival, Hanikezi's heartbreak completely erupted.

Naza felt that she was really loyal to her best friend, staying up late to watch the excitement... no, to accompany her best friend to heal her wounds!

……

The two women, wearing masks and hats, had their personal assistant casually ask around and choose a movie that nobody was watching.

"Cities in Love," starring Yang Mi.

God knows when Yang Mi filmed this?
They're all from the same company; they didn't hear a thing.

"Sister Mi even takes on such terrible movies. She's really pitiful. I think Brother Yuan should treat her a little better."

At that moment, Nazha even felt a little sorry for Yang Mi.

This is a film with no production value, no funding, and no quality control.

Aside from Yang Mi, the director is a newcomer, and the other actors have some fame, but not many.

Judging from the movie's title, it's likely to flop.

"A movie starring Honey is bound to be terrible. But if I could see Honey crying her eyes out in the movie, I might feel a little better."

Hanikezi said bluntly.

She just wanted to see some female celebrity suffer even more than her.

She could find some solace in that.

really.

When she heard that Yang Mi was the female lead in this movie, she immediately remembered that Yang Mi was still struggling to film her idol dramas in China, and couldn't even get close to Lu Zhiyuan.

Hanikezi feels that her love life has been difficult, but her career has been very successful!
She's at least better than Yang Mi!
At that moment, she felt much better.

……

Not long after, the movie started playing.

A film with no budget, no funding, and no production costs; it couldn't even afford a premiere.

Yang Mi didn't have time to come here for the premiere.

Because she didn't take this movie seriously at all.

She couldn't even imagine that this movie would be released on the same day as "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Yang Mi was sacrificed for this movie!

"At this very moment, I bet Sister Mi is at home, chanting something like this... May all the Buddhas above, and I, Yang Mi, below, offer up the talent and future of the entire 'Cities in Love' crew, and gather all the incense's power upon Sister Mi... Bless 'Goodbye Mr. Loser' to be a huge success."

Naza stood beside Yang Mi, mimicking her tone.

She even deliberately pinched her nose, squeezed out a soft, childlike voice, and muttered incantations, using the "incense transfer technique."

"Haha."

"Sister Nazha, your imitation is so perfect!"

“However, Sister Mi would definitely not call herself the believer Yang Mi... she would call herself Zi Xi. You are still not professional enough.”

When Nazha interrupted her like that, Hanikezi couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears.

“Then I’ll do it again! I swear in Zi Xi’s name.”

When Nazha is filming movies, she seems a bit wooden, but in real life, she's very funny and playful every day.

Moreover, she is sometimes so innocent and adorably silly.

……

The two playfully wrestled for a while.

Nobody watches this movie.

The two of them, along with two assistants and two bodyguards, booked the entire theater to watch this movie.

People at the cinema even thought the movie was pretty good; at least six people watched it, so they at least made back their electricity bills.

……

The plot of the movie is actually not bad.

As a coming-of-age film, it does follow some familiar formulas, but if the viewer is emotionally connected, it can easily bring tears to their eyes.

"Just as he appeared out of nowhere, he vanished just as suddenly."

“I wanted to do so many things in my life: kiss someone, love someone, see all my children with him have toys… but I can’t, I can’t wait any longer.”

"What I thought was destiny turned out to be just a mistake."

"I don't need a wedding, a diamond ring, flower girls, or a custom-made wedding dress. I just want to go to a foreign country with him, walk a road that seems like we'll be walking it for the rest of our lives, and do a few things that we might never do with anyone else."

"Of course, I also have my own kind of desires. I want to go to Sayram Lake with him on the night of Qixi Festival to watch the Perseid meteor shower. We would ride horses together, lean against each other, and not say a word until the sky is bright."

"Woooooo~~"

"Sister Nazha, I feel so bad."

“I don’t want to be an actor anymore, I don’t want to be a star anymore… I have $1 million, I can retire.”

Most actors will never earn $1 million in their entire lives!
1 million US dollars is equal to 6.5 million RMB.

If a person's career lasts 30 years, they would need to earn at least 2000 million every year to accumulate that much money.

To earn 2000 million, after deducting personal income tax, one's normal income would need to be around 3000 million.

If you consider opening a studio, you'll need to support a large number of staff, and you'll also need to issue press releases and engage in media relations from time to time.

In addition, female celebrities need to spend a lot of money on facial care every year to maintain their beauty, and they need to buy a lot of luxury goods to maintain their style.

In this case, the annual income must be over 4000 million, or even 5000 million!
Hanikezi, at the age of 19, has already achieved what most top stars spend their entire lives to accumulate!

"Honey, I've been in many relationships, but none of them have hurt me as much as yours. I never knew that truly loving someone could cause such heart-wrenching pain?"

After watching the movie, Hanikezi completely broke down and cried for a long time in the theater.

Naza held many tissues in her hands, using both hands to wipe Hanikezi's tears and snot at the same time.

"what's the situation?"

Is this movie really that tear-jerking?

"Wait a minute. Isn't that Ding Sitian? And that one next to her, isn't that Shirley Yang?"

After the midnight screening ended, it was already 2 a.m., the last showing, and the cinema was preparing to close.

The staff who came in to clean recognized Nazha and Hanikezi.

They were completely dumbfounded.

This terrible movie has practically no viewers. Could it be a hidden classic?

Otherwise, would Hanikezi and Nazha be crying their eyes out?
"Honey, run! We've been recognized!"

"Oh no, we're both going to be on the front page tomorrow!"

In the early hours of Qixi Festival, the two big stars secretly watched a youth romance movie together, and then hugged each other and cried their eyes out.

What plot is this?
The news spread like wildfire... the lesbian community was ecstatic!
……

It turns out.

Naza's concerns are very valid!
The next morning, before dawn, news spread that Nazha and Hanikezi were watching a youth movie in the cinema and cried their hearts out.

There was even a blurry photo that someone took.

Hanikezi's eyes were swollen from crying. Nazha handed her tissues with her left hand and her right hand as well... She even offered her shoulder to lean on while crying.

"love!"

"I believe this is love!"

"Unexpectedly, Ding Sitian and Shirley Yang are a couple. Where is Hu Bayi right now?"

"Are you crazy upstairs? Of course, Brother Yuan stays home with his wife and kids. He has a very stable daily routine and never goes out wandering around in the middle of the night!"

"Has anyone investigated when this situation between Nazha and Hanikezi started? They've known each other for about five or six years, haven't they?"

According to unreliable sources, during the filming of "Real Steel," Hanikezi saw Gulnazar's portrayal of a flying apsara from Dunhuang and fell in love at first sight!

"Hani, full of heroic spirit and the strongest mecha warrior in the world, Artemis, met Nazha, a bright and charismatic alien princess... I'm absolutely certain that after she met Reba's alien fleet and confirmed the safety of the entire Earth expeditionary force, she secretly returned to Planet RT-1 to find Nazha. From then on, the two lived happily ever after!"

"The lesbian community has a new killer couple!"

Suddenly, rumors spread like wildfire that Hani was a T (masculine) and Nazha was a P (feminine) and that the two were in a GL (girl love) relationship!
However, compared to BL (Boys' Love), the audience for yuri (lesbian romance) is much smaller, so it can't make much of a splash.

……

"I'm truly impressed."

What on earth are these two doing?

Nazha and Hanikezi had just started their own studio when they gave him a huge project, leaving Lu Zhiyuan speechless.

"Reba, wait a minute, go pick up Hani."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't think too much about it.

After a pause, he added, "Let's bring Gulnazar along too. Since the two of them can generate this kind of scandal, let them walk the red carpet together and add some buzz to the movie."

Instead of letting traffic slip away, it's better to convert it into box office revenue.

No matter how low the conversion rate is, once it's converted, it's at least real money.

Otherwise, after a few days of online discussion, netizens will forget about it, making it a wasted opportunity to trend on social media.

"understood."

Reba turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan and found that he seemed to know nothing about what had happened.

But yes.

Hanikezi, that brat, didn't dare to say it out loud.

Before leaving, Dilraba looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile and asked emphatically, "Tonight, we'll walk the red carpet together, right?"

"Of course. Is there any doubt about that?"

Lu Zhiyuan was somewhat puzzled.

Lu Zhiyuan's confusion made Reba overjoyed. She hugged Lu Zhiyuan and kissed him, saying, "Husband, Manszni Soman (Uyghur for 'I love you')!"

……

Hanikezi had already bought a house in Yanjing when he was 18 years old.

However, she spent most of her time either at school or at Lu Zhiyuan's house.

It's rare for me to be staying at home today.

Hanikezi's assistant, who had taken care of her all night, had just fallen asleep when he heard the doorbell and could only yawn as he opened the door.

When the assistant saw it was Dilraba, she almost lost her mind.

She knew perfectly well who Hanikezi had been crying for last night.

At that moment, the assistant rushed back to the room and shook Hanikezi awake: "Hani, the boss's wife is here."

Hanikezi, with his eyes closed, muttered, "Go open the door and let her in! What's there to be afraid of? Even the teacher doesn't scold me!"

"Oh."

The assistant was very well-behaved and ran to open the door for Dilraba.

Dilraba stood at the door, dressed in a black dress, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, bright red lips, and dark eyes. Her aura was so powerful that it made her assistant tremble with fear.

Reba entered Hanikezi's bedroom with practiced ease and then closed the door.

Hanikezi pretended to be asleep, wanting to see what Reba was going to do.

Reba stood by the bed with her arms crossed, and said irritably, "Honey, you were so embarrassing last night, you know that?"

Upon hearing this, Hanikezi jumped out of bed: "Sister Reba, you have the right to criticize me now. When you were embarrassed before, when you were rejected by the teacher, did I say a word to you? I was always there to comfort you and give you advice."

Reba sighed, her expression softening. "Honey, I know how you feel about him. But you're too hasty. You can't tell everyone you've fallen in love with him while still holding the title of his apprentice. The whole world will despise you!"

“You’ll make him a laughingstock of the whole world. I will never allow you to do that.”

After scolding him a few times, Dilraba softened her tone and said, "Let me ask you first, how far are you willing to go for him?"

Hanikezi stubbornly replied, "Whatever you can do, I can do too."

"Okay. Remember what you just said!"

Reba nodded and pointed out a path for Hanikezi: "Leave the entertainment industry, change your name, and never appear in the public eye again."

"can."

Being a female celebrity is interesting, but not that interesting.

Some things, once you've experienced them, are just another thing.

Hanikezi thought for a moment and said, "After the 'Real Steel' series is finished, I'll retire from the entertainment industry. As for changing my name, I've already thought of it. My Han Chinese name will be 'Ding Siyuan,' and my Uyghur name will be 'Dilai.' To outsiders, doesn't it sound like I'm your sister?"

"you……"

This name almost made Dilraba furious.

The name "Ding Siyuan" just popped into my head... You can imagine that that brat Hanikezi had already thought of this kind of scheme.

As for 【Dilai】, this name is quite common among Uyghurs. It roughly means that one's heart is as pure as the moon.

That brat, she clearly wants to be my little sister!
"Sister, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. Thank you, sister! Sister, I knew you were stubborn but soft-hearted. You can't bear to see me heartbroken."

Hanikezi hugged Reba, and was so happy she wanted to jump up.

"Keep it under control. Don't tell anyone about this. I'm afraid they'll follow suit. Especially Nazha, you need to be careful around her!"

Reba actually knew that Hanikezi had liked Lu Zhiyuan for many years. She couldn't remember exactly when it started.

Some truths are often expressed in the form of jokes.

Hanikezi painted a portrait of Lu Zhiyuan in the soft, misty style of Morimoto Sosuke as a birthday gift, and whispered in Lu Zhiyuan's ear, "I will only paint one person in my life."

Dilraba chased and beat him.

At that moment, Reba knew that this brat wasn't joking.

She is serious!
"Sister, I, [Dilaiyi], swear to God that I will listen to whatever you say from now on."

Hanikezi nodded seriously. She wouldn't even tell her own mother, let alone Nazha!
What the hell is this [Dilraba]?!
Hearing this name, Dilraba was speechless!
I really want to beat this brat up!
However, she also knew that if she beat up Hanikezi, Hanikezi would pretend to be pitiful to Lu Zhiyuan and then have Lu Zhiyuan carry her to the hospital and take care of her for several days.

In the end, it's yourself who suffers!
"Tonight, you'll walk the red carpet with Nazha. Don't forget to check in at 5 PM. Eat dinner early, don't let yourself get hungry."

After leaving a message, Dilraba turned and left.

……

When Reba returned home, Lu Zhiyuan had already gone to work at the company.

After the casting of Fan Binbin as the female lead in the film "The Great Wall," Lu Zhiyuan needed to redesign the character arc, color scheme, and composition for Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin and Jing Tian have different temperaments, after all.

Fan Binbin's eyes are bright and dignified, able to withstand close-up shots from the camera.

Given this advantage, Lu Zhiyuan needs to first outline what kind of lighting effects and camera angles he can use to present Fan Binbin's beauty directly to the audience of the world in just a few shots!

This is a fundamental skill for a director!
The biggest difference between directors who come from art-house film backgrounds and those who come from commercial film backgrounds lies here.

Directors of art-house films who transition to commercial films often focus on stream of consciousness.

Let's put the plot aside for now.

First, create lighting and shadow effects for the characters, making each character a unique presence in the film world.

It's as if each character is a separate individual, existing in a special field.

Lu Zhiyuan is one of the best among them.

……

Gao Yuanyuan didn't go to work today.

Because the child had been crying and fussing at home, it seemed like they had developed a mother-daughter bond. Overjoyed, she stayed home to keep the child company.

Work can be done anytime.

A child's growth happens only once a day, and it can never be repeated.

"Dilraba, you're back so early?"

When Gao Yuanyuan saw Dilraba return with a displeased expression, she casually greeted her.

"Ah."

Dilraba came over and gave the child a warm hug. Looking at the girl's perfect appearance, Dilraba was really envious.

The 4-month-old baby has big eyes, soft skin, and chubby cheeks that feel so cute!
She longs to have a child of her own.

As for the relationship between Hanikezi and Lu Zhiyuan... Dilraba has figured it out: Lu Zhiyuan seems to be poisonous, always attracting female celebrities like moths to a flame.

However, Lu Zhiyuan had one particularly good quality. He always stood firmly behind her.

This gives Dilraba a great sense of security.

“Reba, you’ve gained a little weight since then. I’ll have the housekeeper cook you some nutritious supplements. The house is still a bit too empty. I like it more lively at home.”

Gao Yuanyuan said some nice things.

She had already guessed it.

Reba didn't stop Hanikezi after all. In the end, she must have softened. Because, there was no stopping her anyway.

Who can stop Hanikzi?

If she never marries and just stays with Lu Zhiyuan, what can they do?

You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?

As expected, the mattress problem is absolutely unsolvable when everyone is looking out for themselves!

Big brother is really amazing.

They understood people's hearts very early on.

……

That afternoon.

Around 5 o'clock.

The premiere of "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was held on time at the Wanda flagship store next to Dongshan Villa.

As a guest, Lu Zhiyuan held Dilraba's hand and made a grand entrance as the finale.

The arrival of the two caused a massive crowd to gather at Wanda Cinema, and all tickets for the afternoon and evening screenings were sold out!
Lu Zhiyuan went through the motions and then casually found a place to sit down.

As the producer, Dilraba sat on the stage, giving interviews to reporters, speaking eloquently and exuding charm like a strong woman.

Lu Zhiyuan watched admiringly for a while, then turned to Hanikezi and Nazha beside him and joked, "Congratulations. You cried your eyes out last night, and now you're the lesbian dream girls!"

Being a lesbian's dream girl is useless.

Because the number of people who like yuri (lesbian relationships) is too small.

"Brother-in-law."

When Hanikezi spoke, he called Lu Zhiyuan "brother-in-law," which surprised Lu Zhiyuan.

Hanikezi said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, you've mistaken me for someone else. The one who cried with Sister Nazha last night was Hanikezi, but I am Diliaiyi, Sister Reba's sister."

For teachers and students to get together so abruptly would be a grave offense to the world.

But if it's the sister-in-law and brother-in-law, then... well, that sounds pretty erotic.

"You, you guys?"

Naza was stunned!
She couldn't help but wonder if she had traveled through time.

She hasn't seen this episode!

“Reba is an only child. She only has one cousin, who is the same age as you, named Subi. I have met her.”

Lu Zhiyuan wondered if he was getting old. Why couldn't he keep up with the pace of the young people?

What tricks is Hanikezi playing?
"Honey, I feel like you have too much free time. How about this, I'll enroll you in a CPA training course later."

"I hope that you will pass this exam and get this certificate by the time you graduate from university."

Lu Zhiyuan originally wanted to enroll Hanikezi in an Olympiad math class... but at her age, she probably wouldn't be able to learn Olympiad math.

Then let's enroll Hanikezi in a certified public accountant training course!
That's pretty ruthless too.

That's enough to expend her boundless energy!

“Brother-in-law, please call me Diliai. That’s how it should be written on the registration form too.”

Since we're going to change the name, let's go all the way.

Let's just use Hanikezi as a stage name.

What does my taking the CPA exam have to do with Hanikezi?
"Looks like one CPA isn't enough. Let's add another one..."

Lu Zhiyuan sighed helplessly.

You brat, I refuse to believe I can't handle you!

Upon hearing this, Hanikezi couldn't keep up the act any longer and immediately surrendered: "Teacher, I was wrong! Please don't add any more. I can't waste my youth here!"
