Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.
Chapter 77 Four Years of Hard Work
In the evening, netizens who have been deeply involved in the entertainment industry uncovered the truth behind the three "scandals" from the morning.
[Everyone, let's disperse. Stop tearing each other apart and smearing each other.]
A prominent celebrity blogger posted: "I won't mention their name, but there were three trending topics this morning. Those who know, know; those who don't, don't ask."
A well-known domestic director is collaborating with an official TV station on a major project and needs a custom-made song. You know, someone's share of the profits has been encroached upon. To secure the resources, that company has resorted to drastic measures.
Some might say, "There's no smoke without fire," but what I do know is that a famous director arranged for a big shot from a certain company to compete against FRX on the same stage.
That morning's rumors were pure fabrication and designed to demoralize people. The music selection for the project has now been finalized, and FRX has already started sending out a barrage of legal letters.
With that, the matter between Chen Hong and Li Ming was considered over.
As for Director Zhou...
The old lady was very insightful; she uninstalled her blog as soon as something happened. Her main principle was: out of my sight, out of mind.
Zou Rong booked a private restaurant and treated the entire company to a meal.
The lively meal completely dispelled the unpleasant feelings of the three parties involved.
Wang Liping messed things up and forced Zou Rong to drink a lot of water.
But the rich kid's drinking capacity was no joke. On the contrary, Wang Liping was drunk and passed out. The drunk Wang Ge kept crawling under the table.
Li Ming also maliciously recorded the video.
They laughed and joked around until 10 p.m. before finally breaking up.
Drunk and slurring his words, Wang Liping grabbed Li Ming and said, "You're so stupid! Dating a female celebrity, creating a CP (couple pairing), and the rumors would just fall apart... wouldn't that be better? But you insisted..."
Then, Li Ming covered his mouth.
King Li calmly replied, "He's drunk."
A black van pulled up in front of the private restaurant, and Fang Ruoxi and Zhang Xiaomeng got in.
Director Zhou stepped forward and said, "Xiao Fang, I'll pick you up at Blue Harbor at 7:45 tomorrow morning."
Fang Ruoxi agreed and waved goodbye to everyone.
After getting home, I washed up and rested.
The next day, Fang Ruoxi got up at 5 a.m. to go for a run.
When Zhang Xiaomeng woke up, Fang Ruoxi had just finished a one-and-a-half-hour jog.
"Huh? What time did you get up to run?" Zhang Xiaomeng was dumbfounded when she saw Fang Ruoxi, who was drenched in sweat.
Fang Ruoxi said, "Five o'clock."
She insists on running every day.
Director Zhou scheduled the run for 7:45, so she had to move the time earlier.
Fang Ruoxi glanced at the time, grabbed a towel, and went to take a shower.
At 7:40, the two finished breakfast, got ready, and went out.
Director Zhou's understated black business car was parked downstairs.
As soon as Fang Ruoxi and Sun Xiaomeng got into the car, they saw Director Zhou sitting in the passenger seat.
The driver was a young and handsome man.
"Director Zhou," Fang Ruoxi greeted Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen introduced with a smile, "This is my son, Zang Tianze."
"This is what I always say, Xiao Fang, Fang Ruoxi."
Zang Tianze looked at Fang Ruoxi in the rearview mirror and said, "Hello, Fang Ruoxi, your song 'As You Wish' is really good."
No singer dislikes hearing this compliment.
Fang Ruoxi smiled and said, "Hello, thank you for your liking."
Director Zhou said, "I drank a bit too much last night. My son was worried that I would be caught driving under the influence, so he insisted on driving me home."
Zang Tianze drove out of Blue Harbor and laughed, "If you hadn't been drinking until 11 p.m. when you got home, I wouldn't have had to be your driver this morning."
Zhang Xiaomeng glanced at the rearview mirror and then sent a message to Fang Ruoxi on her phone.
[Ahhh! So handsome!!!]
[Aaaaaah! From this day forward, I declare Director Zhou to be my mother-in-law! And her son to be my wife!]
Fang Ruoxi: "..."
On the way, Director Zhou talked about the movie his mentor almost won an Oscar for.
"That year, a Chinese-language film was nominated for the Academy Awards for the first time, but it lost to a romance film... Sigh."
Fang Ruoxi doesn't know much about the 'film history' of this world.
But I did a quick check last night.
The film directed by Liu was a war film, but it ultimately lost to a romance film.
"For the next forty years, my mentor never tried to win an Olympic award again. I thought that the blow was too great for him."
"I didn't expect that..."
Zang Tianze, who was driving, exclaimed, "Old Liu has spent forty years honing his skills!"
The car drove out of the city.
There is a villa area on the outskirts of the city called 'Huitang'.
Mr. Liu and his wife bought a small villa here.
It was clear that this was not the first time Zang Tianze had visited the elderly woman with his mother; once inside the residential area, the car navigated the area with ease.
The neighborhood is quiet, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and features Suzhou-style garden designs everywhere.
The public garden features winding streams and pavilions, with a beautiful view every ten steps, and is filled with flowers, trees, and shrubs along the way.
Zhang Xiaomeng rolled down the car window and took a deep breath, feeling that the air here was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
"Sigh! It's so good to be rich!" Zhang Xiaomeng exclaimed.
After reading it, Fang Ruoxi simply said, "We'll be able to earn it sooner or later."
She believed she could earn it.
Zang Tianze glanced at her in the rearview mirror and smiled, "You have a very independent personality."
Fang Ruoxi didn't understand why Zang Tianze suddenly said that. "What?"
Zang Tianze shook his head. "You'll understand when you meet Director Liu's wife."
Then, he was glared at fiercely by his mother, Ms. Zhou.
At a roundabout in a central garden, Director Zhou was confused. "Son, shouldn't we turn left here?"
Zang Tianze shook his head, "Mom, you haven't been here in a long time, have you forgotten?"
After saying that, the car slowed down and stopped in a small courtyard full of flowers.
Finally, Director Zhou recognized the courtyard and said awkwardly, "It's been a long time since I've been here, and I can't quite remember the way."
Director Zhou couldn't help but add, "I haven't visited you much these past few years."
Zang Tianze smiled and continued on behalf of his mother, "It's not that my mother and Old Liu don't get along, it's just that Old Liu's 'little wife' is too troublesome."
Fang Ruoxi and Zhang Xiaomeng exchanged a glance.
Zhang Xiaomeng, the "gossip queen of the entertainment industry," whispered to Fang Ruoxi, "Director Liu was divorced and then married a woman more than forty years younger than him..."
Fang Ruoxi's expression remained unchanged.
This is all too common in the entertainment industry.
Then, she realized what Zang Tianze meant by those words.
So, she glanced at Zang Tianze.
Zang Tianze immediately understood the meaning behind that look and explained with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, if you drive around here, you'll see quite a few 'couples with age gaps'."
"There are older men with younger women, and older women with younger men; in all cases, the younger one is good-looking. These days, someone with your looks who thinks they can move in on their own merits..."
Before Zang Tianze could finish speaking, he was chased and beaten by Ms. Zhou, who had lost all patience.
The commotion outside the courtyard attracted the villa owner to come out and investigate.
They saw a young woman, no more than thirty years old, wearing a sapphire blue cheongsam and a fur shawl, opening the courtyard gate and peering in their direction.
Upon seeing Director Zhou and Zang Tianze, the woman immediately put on a fawning smile.
Then she saw Zhang Xiaomeng, her gaze lingered on Zhang Xiaomeng's face for a moment, and then she ignored her.
Finally, there's Fang Ruoxi.
Fang Ruoxi met the woman's gaze and clearly saw that the woman's expression instantly turned hostile upon seeing her.
Fang Ruoxi: "?"
"Director Zhou, you really are... It's been so long since you last came. Pingwei thought I had offended you and gave me a good scolding." The woman greeted Director Zhou with a smile.
Her voice was soft and affected.
Putting aside the three women present, even Zang Tianze, a grown man, was finding it hard to handle.
"Hiss." He hissed softly, as if he had a toothache.
Director Zhou couldn't manage a smile; he only nodded politely to Director Liu's 'little wife'.
"Please lead the way."
Director Liu's 'little wife': "..."
