Rebirth: A big star falls in love with me

Zhang Yu remained silent.

Liu Yifei continued, "So I want to tell you that whatever you need, I will be there for you."

She stood up, walked to him, and gently hugged him: "Zhang Yu, thank you."

Zhang Yu froze, then gently hugged her back: "Yifei..."

Liu Yifei whispered in his ear, "Don't talk. Just let me hold you for a while."

The two embraced each other in the hotel room late at night, quietly feeling each other's body heat.

On Saturday night, Jing Tian hosted a small party at her home, inviting some friends from the entertainment industry. Zhang Yu, Liu Yifei, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, and Chen Chen were among the invitees.

The party atmosphere was relaxed, with everyone drinking and chatting, having a great time. Jing Tian personally cooked a table full of dishes, which surprised everyone.

"Tian Tian, ​​you have this skill too?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.

Jing Tian smiled smugly: "Of course, I know a lot more."

After dinner, everyone went to the balcony to drink and chat. The city of Beijing was brightly lit at night, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making it a very pleasant experience.

Jing Tian sat down next to Zhang Yu and said softly, "Zhang Yu, are you happy today?"

"I'm happy," Zhang Yu said. "You did a great job."

Jing Tian smiled: "That's good."

She paused, then suddenly said, "Zhang Yu, do you know, I used to be terrified of you."

"fear me?"

“Yes,” Jing Tian said, “I was afraid you would look down on me, afraid you would think I was just a pretty face. So I always wanted to prove myself, and I always wanted to use all sorts of means to get your attention.”

Zhang Yu looked at her.

Jing Tian continued, "But I'm not afraid anymore. Because I know that you are you, and I am me. I don't need to prove anything, and you don't need to give me anything. Being friends is already good enough."

She raised her glass: "Come on, cheers. To our friendship."

Zhang Yu clinked glasses with her. At that moment, he saw the relief and sincerity in Jing Tian's eyes.

After more than two months of filming, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has finally wrapped up. The wrap party was held at a hotel in Hengdian, and the entire crew attended.

As the female lead, Liu Yifei was toasted by everyone in turn. She wasn't a big drinker, and after a few drinks, she felt a little dizzy. Zhang Yu, watching from the side, quietly replaced her glass with water.

"Director Zhang, you're being biased." Someone jeered, "You only take care of Sister Yifei, not us."

Zhang Yu chuckled: "You guys have a high alcohol tolerance, you don't need any special treatment."

Liu Yifei leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Zhang Yu, thank you."

"Of course."

Liu Yifei looked up at him, her eyes glazed over: "Zhang Yu, I like you."

Zhang Yu was stunned. Before he could react, Liu Yifei had already fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Jing Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, saw this scene and her expression was complicated. She walked over and said softly, "Director Zhang, let me help you take Sister Yifei back to her room."

Zhang Yu nodded, and together with Jing Tian, ​​helped Liu Yifei back to her room. After settling her in, the two stood in the hallway.

“Zhang Yu,” Jing Tian suddenly said, “Do you know that Sister Yifei likes you?”

Zhang Yu remained silent.

Jing Tian smiled: "Actually, we all know. You know too, right?"

Zhang Yu looked at her: "Jing Tian..."

"Don't explain," Jing Tian interrupted him. "It's our business that we like you, it has nothing to do with you. How you choose is your business."

She paused for a moment, then said, "But Zhang Yu, no matter what you choose, I will be by your side."

She turned and left, the sound of her high heels echoing in the corridor. Zhang Yu stood there, motionless for a long time.

Gao Yuanyuan's new drama is being filmed at a film and television base in the suburbs of Yanjing. Zhang Yu was invited to visit the set and, incidentally, to see if there was any possibility of collaboration.

The set was bustling with activity, and Gao Yuanyuan was filming a crying scene. She acted exceptionally well; her tears flowed effortlessly, and her emotions were genuine and moving. Zhang Yu stood watching from the side, secretly admiring her performance.

"One take, and we've nailed it!" the director yelled, and Gao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Yu. She quickly walked over.

"Director Zhang, what brings you here?"

"I've come to visit the set." Zhang Yu handed her a glass of water. "You acted very well in that scene just now."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed: "I learned it from you."

The two found a quiet spot on set to chat. Gao Yuanyuan explained the details of the film, the challenges of the role, and the director's requirements. Zhang Yu listened attentively, offering suggestions from time to time.

“Zhang Yu,” Gao Yuanyuan suddenly said, “thank you for cooperating with me that day at the recording of the program.”

"Of course."

Gao Yuanyuan looked at him with gentle eyes: "Zhang Yu, do you know, you are the person I trust the most."

Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Yuanyuan..."

"Let me finish," Gao Yuanyuan interrupted him. "Over the years, I've been through a lot and met a lot of people. But only you make me feel at ease."

She paused for a moment, then said, "So I want to tell you that no matter what happens to you in the future, I will always be by your side."

Zhang Yu looked at her, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him. He reached out and gently took her hand: "Yuanyuan, thank you."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, her eyes slightly red: "You're welcome."

On Sunday, Zhang Yu went to Chen Chen's house to see his son.

Zhang Mingchen had grown a little taller, and when he saw Zhang Yu, he rushed over and cried, "Dad!"

Zhang Yu picked him up: "Mingchen, did you miss your father?"

"I want to!" Mingchen hugged his neck. "Daddy, play with me!"

Chen Chen smiled from the side and said, "He's been waiting for you to come."

The father and son played together all afternoon. Mingchen, who loved to draw, painted another family portrait—this time with a few more people in the picture. Zhang Yu asked him who they were, and he said, "Dad's aunts." Zhang Yu was both amused and exasperated, while Chen Chen chuckled to himself beside him.

During dinner, Mingchen asked, "Dad, why do you have so many aunties?"

Zhang Yu was taken aback and looked at Chen Chen. She lowered her head and ate her food without saying a word.

"Because my dad has a lot of friends," Zhang Yu said.

"Are they all your friends?" the minister pressed.

"Correct."

The minister nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Can I call them aunties?"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Mingchen went to sleep. Chen Chen and Zhang Yu sat in the living room.

“As the child grows older, more and more problems arise,” Chen Chen said.

Zhang Yu nodded: "I know."

Chen Chen looked at him: "Zhang Yu, what do you plan to do?"

Zhang Yu remained silent.

Chen Chen sighed: "I'm not forcing you. It's just that the child needs an answer."

Zhang Yu grasped her hand: "Give me time."

Chen Chen nodded and leaned on his shoulder: "Okay."

After nearly a month of recording, "The Road to Acting" has come to its grand finale.

Six actors have entered the final competition, and each of them must perform a complete scene. Judges Zhang Yu, Liu Yifei, and Gao Yuanyuan sit on the judging panel, their expressions serious.

The performance was fantastic; every actor gave their best. After the last actor finished performing, the entire audience erupted in applause.

During the voting segment, the three mentors and the audience voted together. Ultimately, a young male actor won the championship.
