Chapter 77 Spreading Money! (First Update)
"Director Shen!"

Bright lights shone on Zhou Yang.

His whole body seemed to be bathed in golden light, shining brightly.

His gaze fell upon Shen Long, who was sitting below.

"Two months ago, we were huddled in that tiny rented room, living on instant noodles and in the dark, counting down the days until the rent was due and how we would make our next meal..."

"But, the silent perseverance only brought an increasingly distant dream and an increasingly cruel reality..."

"We started to doubt ourselves, we even thought about giving up, we even thought our lives might be over!"

"but……"

"This moment!"

"bring it on!"

"Be grateful to the version of yourself that persevered!"

"..."

Under the dazzling lights, passionate emotions surged like a tide, sweeping through the depths of everyone's hearts.

The once insignificant and humble Shen Long now trembled as he straightened his suit. His excitement made him walk unsteadily.

All eyes were on him; at this moment, he was the focus of everyone's attention!

The enthusiastic applause lasted throughout the room.

In the distance, the place where Zhou Yang stood resembled a supreme podium, so inspiring!
The moment he stepped onto the stage, he saw Zhou Yang pat him on the shoulder, and then take out a stack of money from the box and hand it to him.

He took the money with trembling hands, weighed it slightly in his hand, and then looked at Zhou Yang in shock.

It wasn't the one yuan in the red envelopes of the past, nor ten yuan, nor fifty yuan...

Instead, it's one hundred yuan!

Yes!

At this moment, the money in my hand is a full bundle of one hundred yuan notes, a small bundle of one hundred notes. It's brand new money that I just withdrew from the bank. I weighed it in my hand and there were more than twenty bundles of it!

More than 200,000!

I grass!

Shen Long stared at Zhou Yang in disbelief.

Zhou Yang, on the other hand, had an exceptionally serious expression, his eyes growing increasingly deep and full of encouragement.

"Everyone who perseveres for their dreams deserves the feedback they receive from those dreams!"

"This amount of money is not much; it's just a drop in the ocean!"

"But, Director Shen, believe me, in the future, we will go higher and see further, step by step, and stand in a more brilliant position, reaping even more enthusiastic applause!"

"..."

Shen Long nodded.

I wanted to say something, but in the end, I couldn't say anything at all.

He nodded to everyone, his eyes blurry, and finally, trembling, he slowly walked down. When he sat down in the chair, looking at the heavy cash in his hand, his mind went blank!
……

"Chen Jianfeng! Teacher Chen!"

"..."

Chen Jianfeng, who was below, suddenly saw Zhou Yang calling his name!
He was clapping and subconsciously stood up. Then, on the stage in the distance, Zhou Yang, with a bright smile, appeared.

He saw Zhou Yang nod at him.

Immediately afterwards...

"I once said..."

"Fate will not let down anyone who braves thorns and brambles on their journey..."

"We hide in the darkness, and nobody cares about us..."

“We were ignored, looked down upon, and everyone thought we were just insignificant outsiders…”

"but……"

"The trials and tribulations along the way will only make us stronger, strengthen our resolve, and allow us to break free from the dark and muddy prison, shining brightly and being seen by countless people!"

Amid Zhou Yang's resounding and impassioned voice, Chen Jianfeng silently accepted the heavy sum of money that Zhou Yang had handed over.

That moment...

He felt as if his whole body was enveloped in a ball of flames and burning.

He recalled countless days and nights on set, constantly bowing and scraping, yearning for, and even begging for, a role.

But even the humblest desires ultimately only brought deception and cold stares. Repeated disappointments destroyed his confidence and even caused his body to gradually become hunched over.

But at this moment, he raised his head and nodded sharply at Zhou Yang!
……

"Zhang Yunyi!"

"Our genius photographer!"

"Our artists!"

"..."

..............................

"Fuck!"

"He's really giving away money!"

"real!"

"Damn it, is this guy crazy?"

"..."

outside the window.

Starry.

Reporters, carrying cameras, recorded scene after scene.

In this world, besides burning dreams, the most exciting thing is bright red banknotes!

The reporters were all staring intently!
They saw stacks of money being distributed to everyone present!

The intense sensory stimulation made their hearts tremble violently, and their hands holding the camera were almost unable to hold steady.

"This person's name is Chen Jianfeng!"

"Two months ago, he was just an unknown, poor student..."

"I saw him on the set of 'Love Ferris Wheel,' and I saw him struggling to carry one prop box after another..."

"..."

Among the media, some people stared blankly at Chen Jianfeng, who was sitting in a chair in the room, looking somewhat dazed.

As his voice faded, more and more media outlets instinctively turned their cameras toward Chen Jianfeng. Shock, disbelief, jealousy, but eventually, it gradually turned into fervor.

Someone swallowed hard!
They stared intently at the wad of banknotes in Chen Jianfeng's hand. Someone roughly counted it and estimated it to be at least two hundred thousand...

Their gaze returned to the makeshift platform seen through the window.

They looked at Zhou Yang as if he had a grudge against money, calling out one name after another, and handing out all the money in the suitcase, one bill at a time, to everyone present.

It was all hundred-yuan bills, bundles and bundles, without any attempt to hide them or even avoid the camera. It was so blatant it was insane!

Some media outlets even have red eyes from watching!

Especially after seeing the money in the suitcase dwindling and Zhou Yang showing no sign of stopping, the shock from the depths of his heart was overwhelming!

Fuck!
They work themselves to the bone, covering news for a whole month, and how much do they get paid?
Meanwhile, Zhou Yang...

But it's as if they hate money; they're practically throwing money around!
wrong!

What the hell!
It's like throwing money around!

After seeing that Zhou Yang had distributed some money in his suitcase, they actually took the suitcase and walked step by step to the door...

Countless media outlets surged in, frantically crowding towards that direction.

But the security personnel remained on guard.

"Brother Zhang!"

"what?"

Two months ago, Zhang Shun, who used to work as a security guard at Yanying Academy, subconsciously turned around.

Seeing Zhou Yang silently take a bundle of money and, under everyone's gaze, stuff it into Zhang Shun's pocket!
Zhang Shun was completely stunned!
The media was stunned at that moment!

Zhou Yang has gone mad and is even bribing the security guards?
"Brother Zhang, two months ago, when I was at my lowest point, thank you so much for taking care of me. If it weren't for your help two months ago, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

"During the past month or so of filming, we are so grateful to you for watching over all our equipment and helping to take inventory and organize it..."

"Keep this money for now!"

"..."

……

Zhang Shun felt Zhou Yang stuff a wad of cash into his pocket!
He stared at Zhou Yang in shock.

At this moment, it seemed that Zhou Yang didn't have much money left in his suitcase.

Only tens of thousands of yuan are left!
but……

Zhou Yang had no intention of keeping the tens of thousands of yuan; instead, he took out all the money.

Under the watchful eyes of the media, they were all distributed to each and every security guard!
The six security guards stared wide-eyed.

"Everyone!"

"after……"

"As long as those who follow me..."

"I will not let anyone fall behind!"

"I'm not very good at talking!"

"I'm not a refined person, and sometimes I'm quite vulgar!"

"You will follow me, whether you are in the present or in the future..."

"Just follow me!"

"Anyone who has a dream, is willing to persevere for it, and believes in me..."

"I will give wings to your dreams! I will make your dreams shine!"

"Anyone who works diligently and does their job well at [Xuanshi Entertainment]..."

"As long as I have a bite to eat, you won't go hungry!"

"I'll eat the meat in big mouthfuls, and you can drink the soup in big mouthfuls too..."

"..."

Zhou Yang looked at the empty suitcase, then smiled, looked at all the media, threw the suitcase aside, and slightly raised his hand!
The security guards were shocked!

They never dreamed that they, who had just been recruited by [Xuan Shi Entertainment], some of whom hadn't even been there for a week, would achieve such success!
I was suddenly given such a large bonus!

They were all hundred-yuan bills!
In 2003, this sum of money was almost half a year's worth of their wages without eating or drinking!
At this moment, everyone, including Zhang Shun, was utterly shocked!
And right at this crucial moment!
Countless media outlets broke through their defenses and rushed excitedly towards Zhou Yang, surrounding him!
"Mr. Zhou, have you gone mad?"

"Mr. Zhou, what exactly are you doing?!"

"Mr. Zhou, you..."

"..."

The security guards realized what was happening and tried to stop them.

However, Zhou Yang shook his head, letting himself be surrounded by the media and subjected to a barrage of close-up shots.

He was not flustered at all, and even enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

Under the camera's lighting.

He seems to be an eternal protagonist.

He pushed up his glasses.

"If I'm going crazy for my dream, then I must be a madman!"

"Money, to me, is merely a gift on the road to realizing my dreams. I have expectations, I'm passionate, but I don't care whether I've had it or not..."

"In this world, countless people have dreams, and those dreams are all passionate!"

"I believe even more in everyone..."

"Including you, including me, we can all shine!"

"..."

Zhou Yang's gaze swept over the group of media.

Finally, my gaze settled on one of the thin men, whose smile grew wider and wider.

"No matter what you're doing right now..."

"I don't care what your current status is!"

"As long as you have talent and dreams..."

“Join me!”

"Just like them!"

Let's make our dreams shine together!

"..."
