The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Although the music university majors in music, it also has a dance department. However, it admits very few students, only three classes a year, and most of them are the leftovers from the dance university.

Ms. Mao, Xiaoyue's physical education teacher, is a teacher from the dance department. She also teaches physical education classes every year. Xiaoyue is a rough diamond she met. Although she is not from a professional dance department, her physical condition and talent are top-notch.

She actually had her own selfish motives in letting Xiaoyue lead the dance this time.

Her good friend, the dancer Tao Yuling, who is also a professor at a dance university, has always boasted that she has never met a talented dancer.

So she will send the recorded video to Tao Yuling later to let her see whether Xiaoyue is a good candidate.

After Xiaoyue finished her performance, she received a bouquet of flowers from her three roommates as soon as she arrived backstage.

"Congratulations on the success of the performance!"

"Cheng Xingyue, I didn't expect you to dance so well. Didn't you hear the boys in the audience almost shouting their throats out, calling you 'goddess, goddess' all the time?"

"Thank you for the flowers. Let's go and have a barbecue."

Xiaoyue now gets along very casually with her roommates. She immediately changed her clothes and took the three of them to a snack street near the school.

The boys in the audience waited for the party to end and rushed backstage, but they came back empty-handed because everyone had left already.

On the way home, Xiaoyue always felt something was wrong.

"Master Li, the car behind us has been following us for almost ten minutes..."

It’s not that Xiaoyue is very perceptive, but the car is particularly flashy, orange in color, it’s hard not to recognize it!

Master Li glanced at the rearview mirror, thought for a moment and said, "You know what, it looks familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Could it be from our Pinghu community?"

Xiaoyue also hoped that she was overthinking it. If so, that would be the best. Otherwise, she would have to prepare bodyguards.

Master Li seemed to have remembered: "It really is. It seems to be the car of the owner of Villa No. 2."

"Oh, that's okay."

At Tianyu Company, Zhuo Qiang was standing at the gate with a droopy face, as if his mother had died.

If he hadn't seen the video of the premiere of "Phone Booth" today, he wouldn't have known that the Yue he had been looking for was actually Director Cheng who greeted him every morning.

But when he happily called the employer, it turned out that he had been blocked by the other party.

His five million just flew away like that.

"Xiao Zhuo, the company just distributed some benefits, including movie tickets for 'Phone Booth' at 10 o'clock. Do you want to go and see it?" A colleague asked Zhuo Qiang while holding two tickets. The colleague had good intentions, because he saw that he was in a bad mood since morning and thought that he had been heartbroken.

"Let's go." Zhuo Qiang took one and went to the movies with his colleagues.

It would be a shame if you don't watch it, after all, it's Director Cheng's movie.

In a villa in Beijing, a fashionably dressed girl pushed open the door of the dance studio at home and saw her mother sitting on a yoga mat watching a video on a tablet.

"Mom, I'm back."

The girl's tone was calm, seemingly without any emotion.

Tao Yuling looked up, hummed softly, and said, "I heard that you want to follow a scientific research project?"

The girl walked in and said, "Well, Professor Cheng is very optimistic about me and thinks I am the best person to be in charge of that chip. I guess I won't be back until the end of the year."

"Go ahead and take care of yourself. Also, your birthday present this year is in your room."

Tao Yuling seemed to be just saying this as a routine, because she had said this many times.

"Okay, thank you, good night, Mom."

"Good night."

The mother and daughter seemed to have gotten used to this kind of relationship.

Tao Yuling looked back at the tablet. She had watched this dance video many times. She didn't know why the girl who led the dance always gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Peach blossom eyes? Yes, they are peach blossom eyes, very similar to mine.

Tao Yuling covered the lower half of her face with her hands and looked at the large mirror in the dance studio. They really looked alike, except that the girl was very young, while she was already 42 years old.

Tao Yuling put down her hands and looked at herself in the mirror. She still had the same slim figure and young face, but her eyes no longer had the youthful vigor and brightness.

Time is indeed a ruthless knife, cutting us again and again, and no one can escape it.

Tao Yuling watched the video again. It seemed that she had the same dancing level when she was young. She was talented and spiritual.

Oh, I wish my daughter also liked dancing.

Look at your own daughter, she has a pretty appearance and a high IQ, but she has no interest or talent in dancing and just likes to do scientific research. She did not inherit any of your genes. It's all that man's fault. She must have inherited his genes.

How abominable!

Tao Yuling angrily turned off the tablet and went back to her room to rest.

Recently, the short story section of the novel website has been unusually lively, with many people coming to check out Lou Zhongyue’s daily updates.

A parent wrote in the comments section: "My child used to like listening to Lou Zhongyue's fairy tales, but now he likes listening to her fables. Now every time I finish reading a story at night, my child can tell a lot of morals based on the story. Sometimes if it's not right, I will point it out and tell him the real meaning of the story. Now my child is becoming more and more sensible and much more well-behaved than before."

"My children are the same. Thanks to Lou Zhongyue, the "Lou Zhongyue Fairy Tales" is to weave children's dreams, and the "Fables" is to know that children understand more truths."

"After hearing what the person above said, it really is the case. Lou Zhongyue must be a kind old grandfather who cares a lot about the children."

"After what you guys said, I'm embarrassed to call him Lou Lao Mo."

"He's not an old devil, he's just an old grandfather."

Old Xing looked at the comment section and couldn't help laughing.

"Old Xing, what are you laughing at?" Old Wang looked at Old Xing in front of his computer in confusion.

Old Xing suddenly realized that he had lost his composure and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the comment section is very lively!"

"That's right. Let's go home too. It's already past ten o'clock."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lao Xing hurried back to his office, turned on his computer, took a screenshot of the comment section and sent it to Xiaoyue. He really wanted to know what expression Lou Zhongyue would have when he saw these comments.

After Xiaoyue finished updating "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" at 11 o'clock, she checked her mailbox.

After reading Lao Xing's email, Xiaoyue was in a state of confusion.

How did she become a grandfather? People on the Internet always thought she was a man, an old man at that?

But it’s also good, this way no one will ever suspect me.

Suddenly, Xiaoyue noticed something flashed outside the window, and the computer screen reflected the light into her eyes.

What is it? A flash? Oh no, a camera? Someone is filming me?

Xiaoyue squatted down subconsciously, slowly crawled to the open window, quickly pulled the curtain closed, and then slowly stood up with her legs trembling a little.

Xiaoyue tried hard to suppress her inner panic and think carefully.

The direction that the light comes from seems to be...Villa No. 2?

So, it wasn't a coincidence that we met the car from Villa No. 2 tonight?

Now Xiaoyue feels that she has no sense of security at all. Should she move?

On the top floor of Villa No. 2, a handsome young man wanted to slap himself in the face when he saw the curtains suddenly drawn.

This borrowed camera is just unreliable. I just managed to capture a profile picture, but it turned out to be in night flash mode. It's so bright that you have to be a fool not to know someone is taking pictures of you.

Who knows, he might even know that it was him who took the photos.

"I'm going back after only following you for two days. Will my aunt beat me to death?"

The young man rubbed his shaved head in distress, but decided to go back and report.

As a man, you should take responsibility for your actions.

The next morning, Xiaoyue packed a box of clothes, said that she would stay at the company for a few days, asked everyone to take good care of Dahuang's family, and went to work with her suitcase.

In the morning, Zhuo Qiang stood at the company gate with mixed feelings.

He watched Phone Booth last night, which was a really great movie and made him feel guilty.

She is such an excellent girl, and you want to take pictures of her for money, this is immoral...

"Good morning." Xiaoyue shouted, then pulled the suitcase into the gate.

Zhuo Qiang stupidly replied: "Good morning, Director Cheng!"

In fact, he really wanted to shout, "Good morning, Goddess Yue!", but ended up shouting "Hello, Director Cheng" out of habit.

This damn habit.

Now there is a list of yesterday's movie box office data in front of Liu Zhonglei.

He watched and commented.

Ranked first is "The Dream of Red Mansions", a big production that cost 200 million yuan and starred many film queens and movie emperors. The director is the famous Feng Dao in the circle, and the box office is 32 million.

"Tianyu invested 80 million yuan in this project, so it should be able to make a profit."

The second place is "Mech Tank", a 300 million RMB blockbuster starring action stars, with a box office of 28 million RMB. "Tianyu invested 100 million RMB, but the box office is not as good as expected."

The third place is "Phone Booth", with a box office of 23 million on the first day.

"Isn't this the first day that we've almost made back our investment? It seems that Tianyu only invested 10 million, which is 30%. What a mistake!"

Liu Zhonglei had no interest in watching the rest, because even if Tianyu had invested, it was not much.

Liu Zhonglei regretted it. When he invested, he was only concerned with making his children happy and didn't think about making money at all.

He took out his cell phone and called Zhou Lei: "I want to see the screening schedule for "Phone Booth"."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhonglei suddenly felt doubtful. Was it because he was getting old and was no longer able to judge people accurately?

Thinking about it carefully, I was very generous to Xiaoyue. The shares were 15 billion, but the two plans she proposed had already made Tianyu earn 2 billion. At that time, it was just to keep her. Now it seems that her talent is worth more than 15 billion shares.

That means I underestimated her other talents. I should ask her later if she will continue to make movies. The company will definitely invest heavily in her.

After a while, Liu Zhonglei received the screening plan of "Sniper Phone Booth" sent by Zhou Lei. There were three shows a day, and one time was added later. He opened his computer and searched the reputation of "Sniper Phone Booth" after a day of fermentation.

When Liu Zhonglei saw the official film and television website, he was shocked to find that the score was as high as 9.4, which was an incredible evaluation. He then looked through the comments of the film critics and was also shocked.

All the positive reviews, this movie is expected to have a lot of staying power.

Liu Zhonglei made up his mind that he would watch the movie in his office first, otherwise he would be embarrassed to go find Xiaoyue.

Not only Liu Zhonglei looked at yesterday's movie box office data, almost everyone who invested in movies saw the data.

Director Feng was quite satisfied when he saw that his film "The Dream of Red Mansions" had a box office of 32 million and ranked first.

He continued reading, and by the time he saw the third one, he began to wonder if he was seeing things.

The investment was 23 million, and the box office on the first day was still 23 million, which was a direct return on investment.

The director is Wu Hao, whom I don’t know. He should be an unknown director.

Director Feng stood up, a little anxious.

Is he getting old? Are young people nowadays so fierce?

Judging from the trend of this movie, my first place is unstable and I will be anally raped sooner or later. It's very dangerous.

Director Feng is worthy of being a great director. His guess was really accurate. Within a few days, he was really anally raped.

Director Feng called all the investors and asked them to increase publicity efforts, especially for the leading actors to go on more roadshows to increase the film's influence.

Facts have proved that some publicity is just bubbles. If you can't do it, you can't do it. The content and quality of the film determine everything. That's another story.

As Xiaoyue entered the sixth floor with her suitcase, she saw Chen Xiaofan standing at the elevator entrance.

"Good morning, Brother Fan."

"Good morning, Yueshen. Sister Liu is looking for you, please go over later."

"it is good."

Xiaoyue threw the suitcase into the office and went to Liu Xinran's office.

Xiaoyue came into Liu Xinran's office as if she was familiar with the place, made herself tea, and then sat opposite Liu Xinran.

"Congratulations, it's a big hit at the box office."

"How much is the box office?" Xiaoyue is still concerned about this, but most people can't see the exact data.

"Twenty-three million."

"I made my money back? Haha, not bad..."

Xiaoyue was happy. It seemed that good movies could be popular in any world.

"Yes, the president asked you to meet him upstairs at 10:30. He is busy watching your original movie now." Liu Xinran found it funny when she said this.

"it is good."

Xiaoyue has already figured out the purpose of why President Liu Zhonglei came to see her. Now that Wu Hao has gone to buy the company, she should also lay her cards on the table with the president and make things clear to avoid any misunderstandings.
