Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Zhang Hanyu's words broke through that barrier.

Fang Ruoxi suddenly understood why the eldest young master of the Zhang family, whom she had never met before, had done so many inexplicable things today.

The Zhang family's "wishful thinking" was so disgusting that Fang Ruoxi was too angry to say anything more.

11 points.

Less than ten minutes had passed, but Fang Ruoxi felt she had nothing more to say to the Zhang family.

So, she raised her hand and gestured for Zhang Xiaomeng, who was already red-faced with anger, to leave.

Fang Ruoxi: "It's like this, Miss Zhang may have misunderstood."

"Today I just want to have one last frank and open talk with the Zhang family."

"But clearly, what you said makes me feel that there is no need for that."

"You members of the Zhang family probably wouldn't understand."

After saying that, Fang Ruoxi led Zhang Xiaomeng outside.

Zhang Junyu was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at his usually 'docile' younger sister, Zhang Hanyu, in disbelief.

It was the Empress Dowager's idea to let Fang Ruoxi enter the Zhang family.

How dare Zhang Hanyu cause trouble?!

But now was not the time to question Zhang Hanyu. The eldest son of the Zhang family immediately stood up and blocked Fang Ruoxi's path.

“Miss Fang…” But Zhang Junyu looked down on Fang Ruoxi, who came from an “actress” background, and couldn’t bring himself to say anything conciliatory.

Zhang Junyu took a deep breath. "Do you want to meet my grandmother before making a decision?"

Fang Ruoxi said calmly, "There's no need for that, Mr. Zhang."

"Just please pass on a message."

"Starting this month, any song released by Tianyin will never make it into the top three of the hot song charts."

Zhang Junyu: "..." He was amused by this outrageous statement.

"Ha, Miss Fang, I know Hanyu didn't say anything well..."

Having declared war, Fang Ruoxi had no intention of getting entangled with the Zhang family any longer. She turned and walked past Zhang Junyu.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Hanyu spoke elegantly to Fang Ruoxi's back, "Miss Fang is so arrogant, please don't let me see you at the old mansion again."

Fang Ruoxi left the Zhang family's old house with Zhang Xiaomeng, and Uncle De couldn't stop her.

Zhang Xiaomeng felt really relieved, and as she left the house, she didn't forget to make a face at Uncle De, who was standing behind the threshold with a livid face.

"Hehehe, you feudal remnants, don't mess with Ruoxi!"

The area is surrounded by wealthy and powerful families, so cars from outside are not allowed to drive in.

Fang Ruoxi dialed the driver's number, "Hello, it's me. Yes, please pick us up where we got off—"

Before I could hang up, another call came in.

Fang Ruoxi put down her phone and glanced at the incoming call. It was from the producer of "Princess Cruises".

"Hey, He Zhi..."

Producer He Ying's shrill voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's a hit! Ahhh! The box office exploded today! It jumped 9000 million in one day!"

"Hahahaha!"

"It's not a dream! Teacher Fang! It's not a dream, hahaha!"

Clearly, Producer He was overwhelmed by this incredible wealth.

Fang Ruoxi was not surprised at all by this result. "How is the current screening rate in theaters?"

Producer He's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

A grinding sound came from the other end of the phone: "Ha! 10% screen time, damn it, Wei's Entertainment! Director Liu's award-winning film, these trash guys really dare to do that!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruoxi said, "10%, yet it can still make 9000 million in a single day. Producer Liu, don't worry, after today, the attitude of the theaters will change."

"after all--"

A black Mercedes-Benz van pulled up in front of her. Fang Ruoxi got into the van and whispered to the driver, "To the company."

Then he continued to say to Producer He, "Nobody hates money."

Producer He thought for a moment about the Wei family's 'great achievements' over the years and said, "Well, let's hope so..."

She muttered to herself, "But I heard that the new boss at the Wei Corporation is pretty crazy... A normal person would know to cut their losses in time... I'm just afraid that the guy at the Wei Corporation is mentally unstable, or even insane."

Fang Ruoxi replied, "Aren't they being released simultaneously in European and American theaters?"

Producer He is a shrewd person; her mind works incredibly fast, and she immediately understood the meaning behind Fang Ruoxi's words.

Entertainment to the death, public opinion is a fearsome thing.

If a domestically vying film for awards performs worse at the box office than its international counterpart, even though it's in China's "comfort zone," it will definitely attract public attention.

With proper handling, Weiss could be trapped in his own web.

But how easy is that?

Although Producer He had seen Fang Ruoxi's adapted version of "Princess Cruises," he was even more apprehensive about facing Bolton Fleming, who had won an Academy Award.

Producer He felt that Fang Ruoxi was being too naive.

For a moment, Producer He felt like they couldn't exchange a single word, and sighed sadly, "Sigh... I hope so. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now, Teacher Fang."

……

Country A.

In Country A, major media outlets rushed to report on the topic, completely igniting the discussion about "two renowned directors competing for the Oscars again after 40 years."

Even the most niche media outlets don't believe that Asian director Liu can beat Bolton Fleming at this year's Oscars.

With such massive traffic, well-known internet celebrities who make a living through self-media have no reason not to get involved.

Jimmy Rimbaud is one of these internet celebrities.

"Hi~ my dear fans, look what this is?" Jimmy Rimbaud held up two movie tickets and pointed them at his phone camera.

His background is the entrance to a movie theater in Hughes City.

The live stream was flooded with comments from fans, and Jimmy could only pick out the questions he happened to see to answer, using interaction with fans to pass the time while waiting.

"Yes, I will watch Fleming's 'Death' first, and then watch the Asian director's 'Princess Cruise'."

Jimmy saw a question from a VIP fan who frequently tipped him: "Jimmy, which one are you more looking forward to?"

"Which one are you more excited for? I'm definitely more excited for 'The Soul'!"

"Haha, yes, I'm the kind of person who eats my favorite food first."

"Oh! It's time to go in and watch the movie. Everyone, wait for my review!"

After saying that, Jimmy took his movie ticket for "Death's End" and went into the theater.

Two hours and twenty minutes later, the movie ended.

Jimmy took out his phone and opened the live stream.

Jimmy exhaled, blowing his curly hair away. "Oh! I swear, this year's Oscar for Best Picture will definitely go to 'Death'."

"Bolton Fleming brought out his best, wow, I'm starting to feel sorry for that Asian director now, I heard that 'Princess Cruises' is his 'retirement production'."

"Well, unless a miracle happens, this director will probably hold a grudge against Bolton Fleming until he goes to his grave, hahaha."

Many people in his live stream only watched "The Soul's Demise" and expressed their agreement.

Until one of Jimmy's longtime fans voiced a different opinion.

I've seen both of these movies, and Bolton might lose this time.

His words quickly drew a chorus of opposition, but a few also expressed their approval.

However, as a popular internet celebrity with millions of followers on YOU, Jimmy's live stream was so crowded that the chat was flooded with messages at an alarming rate.

The voices of the small group of people who supported "Princess Cruises" were quickly drowned out by the opposition.

Jimmy shrugged. "Hehehe! Guys, be quiet. I'm off to open the next movie theater. I'll give you the most honest review after I've seen it!"

After saying that, he got up and walked out of the theater, then had his ticket checked again and entered the screening room for "Princess Cruises".
