Rebirth: An Outlier in the Entertainment Industry

"Yang Mi, you son of a bitch, where are your hands?!"

When Huang Yiliang opened his eyes, he was already back at the hotel.

Lying in front of Huang Yiliang was Yang Mi. Not only was her sleeping posture unsightly, but her hand was also inside Huang Yiliang's pants.

Yang Mi opened her eyes groggily.

"Kiss!"

"Go to hell!" Huang Yiliang immediately turned Yang Mi's head to the side. Her mouth was so foul first thing in the morning.

Yang Mi: "......"

You weren't like this last night.

Huang Yiliang grabbed Yang Mi's arm and pulled her hand away.

Damn it! It even brought out a few small, black, curly hairs.

Huang Yiliang turned to the other side, where Zhang Li was.

Zhang Li's long leg was pressed down on Huang Yiliang's body. No matter how beautiful a long leg is, if it's pressed down on you for a whole night, you'll go numb.

Since she's been pinning me down all night, it's not too much to just touch her, is it?

Ugh! Never mind, it's too disgusting to grope a girl while she's asleep.

but.

Huang Yiliang, after all, lacked the open and honest noble qualities of his fellow readers.

This guy is a despicable scumbag.

So he touched it.

To be fair, Zhang Li's legs are really long and smooth.

"Wait, where's my beloved little assistant?" Huang Yiliang suddenly sat up in bed.

Zhao Liying was sleeping peacefully on another bed, but the little girl was sleeping restlessly, kicking the blanket to her feet.

Huang Yiliang rubbed his head, which was a little dizzy from consuming a lot of mental energy. He got up and went to Zhao Liying's bedside to cover her with a blanket.

As for Yang Mi and Zhang Li, adults should learn to cover themselves with blankets.

Huang Yiliang discovered that this was Zhao Liying and Yang Mi's room.

When he returned to his room, he realized that his room key was missing from his pocket. Luckily, the door wasn't closed tightly, and he opened it with a gentle push.

"Depend on--!"

After Huang Yiliang pushed open the door, he felt completely distraught.

There were seven or eight people sleeping haphazardly in his room, no wonder he ended up sleeping in Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's room.

Moreover, Wang Zha has taken stinginess to a whole new level; couldn't he have booked a few more rooms?

This guy is the director and the lead actor.

Yue Xiaojun lay sprawled on the floor by the door, nearly crushed by Huang Yiliang's foot when he came in.

Ning Hao, Guo Tao, Huang Bo, Dao Ge, and Xie Xiaomeng squeezed onto Huang Yiliang's bed, with Dao Ge and Xie Xiaomeng sleeping upside down.

Dao Ge, perhaps to get revenge on Ning Hao for writing him a character who was cuckolded, almost poked Ning Hao's mouth with his foot. Coincidentally, Ning Hao breathes through his mouth when he sleeps, and his mouth is quite large.

No, this moment has to be captured on film.

Huang Yiliang immediately took out his phone and started snapping photos.

After thinking for a moment, the guy rearranged the positions for the people on the bed, and Dao Ge's big toe was shoved directly into Ning Hao's mouth.

Another series of "bang bang" sounds.

Huang Yiliang put away his phone with satisfaction, preparing to take a shower, change his clothes, and go downstairs for a stroll. To be honest, this was his first time in Chongqing, both his previous and current lives combined.

"Ah—! Holy crap!"

Huang Yiliang opened the wardrobe and was almost scared to death by Gao Qiqiang and Wang Zha. These two lunatics were actually sleeping inside the wardrobe.

Especially Gao Qiqiang, whose eyes were still open.

Huang Yiliang stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Gao Qiqiang's eyes to confirm that this idiot was sleeping with his eyes open.

Thankfully, no one was sleeping in the toilet.

After taking a shower, Huang Yiliang went downstairs.

The weather in Chongqing today was rather gloomy, shrouded in mist. However, Huang Yiliang was in high spirits, strolling leisurely along the cobblestone path. Passing by a small stall, he even chatted with the old man who was teasing birds.

What do you mean, earning over 10,000 yuan a month?

Several pretty girls like me, and I'm having trouble deciding which one to choose.

I also know quite a few big stars.

Anyway, when it comes to bragging, you can do whatever you want.

The old man from Chongqing is ultimately better than the old man from Beijing.

He patted Huang Yiliang on the shoulder: "Young man, it's good to have dreams. Who knows, they might come true someday."

"Is your surname Ma, sir?" Huang Yiliang asked in surprise.

"His surname is Xu!"

Damn, you might as well have the surname Ma.

"You made me cry, but you didn't even turn back. The tears you cried have dried..."

Huang Yiliang's phone rang.

"Hey—! Toothbrush, don't you have any scenes to film today? You have so much free time to call me?"

"Yes!"

After replying, Ya Huazi asked, "Are you in Chongqing?"

"Um!"

Huang Yiliang tilted his head, held his phone between his fingers, and bought a cold drink.

"Making a movie?" Yahuazi asked again.

A flicker of wariness crossed Huang Yiliang's eyes: "How did you know?"

After a long pause, Ya Huazi finally said, "Then you're very close to me!"

"It's hundreds of kilometers away! You call that close?"

"Do you want to eat spicy hot pot? I'll have Yang Mi bring you a few packets of hot pot base on her way." Huang Yiliang quickly changed the subject.

"Yang Mi is also in Chongqing? With you?" Ya Huazi's voice suddenly increased by several decibels.

Yang Mi didn't mention such an important matter at all; they were chatting on QQ just yesterday.

"Yes! We came together. Yang Mi is going to stay here for a few days before transferring to Jiuzhaigou." Huang Yiliang pretended not to notice the unfriendly tone in Ya Huazi's voice.

Anyone who isn't completely stupid can sense the subtle tension between a man and a woman.

"Wow! Being handsome is really something!"

"What a nuisance!"

Huang Yiliang also trained under Zhang Yadong.

Dong Ge is truly a remarkable person; he not only gives you money, but he also teaches you knowledge.

"I'm hanging up!" Yahuazi said and hung up the phone.

the other side.

"Love isn't something you can just sell whenever you want..."

Yang Mi's phone ringtone.

"Yang Mi, answer the phone, it's so noisy." Zhang Li pushed Yang Mi forcefully.

Yang Mi has absolutely no sense of public decency. Her phone rang several times, but she stubbornly covered her ears and refused to get up to answer it.

"Feed—! Who is it?!"

"Honey, it's me, Yifei!"

Yang Mi immediately regained consciousness.

"Is Yifei alright?" Yang Mi asked as she walked towards the bathroom.

"Where are you?" Liu Yifei asked calmly.

"Heh—! I'm in my room. I went out with some friends last night and stayed out too late. If you hadn't called me, I would still be sleeping." Yang Mi turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face.

"Where are we going? Is it near your home?" Liu Yifei asked again.

Yang Mi felt a chill run down her spine.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Wuji's lifelong enemy, once said: "The one who understands you best is often your enemy."

Yang Mi immediately noticed that Liu Yifei's voice sounded strange.

Oh no, she knows I'm in Chongqing, and she also knows I'm with Huang Yiliang.

Who tipped them off? Little Potato?

Unlikely; Little Potato prefers to directly confront people.

"Hi! I'm in Chongqing!"

Yang Mi laughed lightly, "I'm going to the film set, so I'm flying to Chongqing and then transferring."

"I'll tell you something you'll never expect!"

Liu Yifei: "What is it?"

Hearing Liu Yifei's calm voice, Yang Mi knew perfectly well that the other woman really did know she was in Chongqing.

"Huang Yiliang is also in Chongqing. It turns out that the movie he invested in was filmed in Chongqing, and I even had a small cameo role!"

Yang Mi in the mirror gritted her teeth, but her voice was cheerful.

"Oh—!" Liu Yifei responded with an ambiguous "oh."

"By the way, is there anything you want to eat? There are so many delicious snacks in Chongqing, I'll bring it back for you."

Yang Mi had just finished speaking.

"I'm hanging up!" Liu Yifei hung up the phone.

......

A teahouse with a very stylish interior design.

Huang Yiliang ordered a pot of local Silver Needle tea and sat on a wooden deck chair by the river, exuding a slightly retired cadre vibe.

It's just that his age doesn't quite match up!

While on the plane, Huang Yiliang met Wang Baoqiang and suddenly remembered that he could write "Lost in Thailand".

This movie's early release might mean lower box office returns, since the "囧" (a type of Chinese internet slang term for awkward or embarrassing situations) culture isn't very popular yet. However, its low production cost means it's bound to make money.

Huang Yiliang may not be interested in projects that make money.

However, Huang Yiliang must maintain a strong interest in projects that are guaranteed to make money.

When Huang Yiliang returned to the hotel, Ning Hao and his group had also gotten up.

It was lunchtime, and Huang Yiliang even suspected that they had woken up at the exact time, so he had no choice but to treat them to another meal.

The room was so dirty from what these guys had made that Huang Yiliang decided to move to a two-bedroom hotel suite.

"Boss, one of the extras we arranged to meet suddenly had something come up and can't make it. How about you fill in?" Ning Hao squeezed next to Huang Yiliang while eating.

"I can't do it, I have absolutely no acting experience." Huang Yiliang shook his head decisively.

"It's just one scene; the director and the actors are in sync."

"Look at Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, which famous director hasn't acted? I even had a cameo role as a doctor myself," Ning Hao encouraged.

Huang Yiliang frowned. He felt that Ning Hao's tone was lewd when he said "directors and actors are in sync".

I don't know if it's a legitimate connection.

However, Ning Hao wasn't lying; top directors in China do indeed like to make cameo appearances in their own films.

"But I'm still a student! I'm not in a hurry," Huang Yiliang said, shrugging.

He was telling the truth. Other artists want to become famous as early as possible, but Mr. Huang really isn't in a hurry at all.

Ning Hao and his gang, who keep claiming to be doing this for art, ultimately seek fame for profit and money.

Whether Huang Yiliang becomes famous or not, he can still make money.

"But the crew is in a hurry. There are only a few night scenes left. Every day, people and horses are eating and drinking, and it all costs money!" Ning Hao complained.

"Which scene is it?" Huang Yiliang couldn't help but ask.

"To pick up girls in the car!" Ning Hao replied quickly.

"Hold--!"

Huang Yiliang was involved in the scriptwriting, and Ning Hao knew which scene it was as soon as he mentioned it.

There was this sleazy guy trying to pick up girls in his car. After being interrupted by Brother Bao, he arrogantly got out of the car with a baseball bat, and ended up accidentally killing Brother Dao, who was riding a motorcycle.

This part of the story is extremely important and really can't be cut.

In fact, the script was so meticulously crafted that even in Huang Yiliang's revised version, no scene could be cut.

"Don't you have any backup plans?" Huang Yiliang cursed.

"Boss, it was originally my turn to go on, but Brother Zha said he had booked a guest actor, so I went and played a security guard. I've already shown my face," the director of photography said, raising his hand.

Huang Yiliang looked up and realized that this guy played the sleazy character in the original movie.

"But my image doesn't match. I'm too handsome, and most importantly, it's usually the girls who hit on me."

Huang Yiliang was about to use Sister Yuanyuan as an example to illustrate his point.

Ning Hao immediately said, "Makeup? Our makeup artists are absolutely top-notch in the country."

"That's an exaggeration!"

"Not an exaggeration at all!"

As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, the next scene flashed to the filming location at the entrance of Luohan Temple, and it was already dark.

"Pfft—!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

When Yang Mi and Zhao Liying saw Huang Yiliang's makeup, they laughed so hard they could hardly stand up straight.

The two little girls simply squatted down on the ground, clutching their stomachs.

Yang Mi is not easily amused, but she was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face.

"Brother Liang, I'm sorry! Hehe, I was just thinking about something else that made me happy, I wasn't laughing at you." Yang Mi said and quickly turned around.

She really couldn't help but think that the director of this movie was incredibly talented.

How to describe Huang Yiliang's makeup?

Unless someone tells you first that this is Huang Yiliang.

Otherwise, you would never have associated him with anything.

Moreover, this makeup is extremely sleazy; the kind of makeup that makes you instinctively want to slap him just by looking at his face.

"There's no need to remove the mole!" Huang Yiliang felt like killing Ning Hao right now.

"Absolutely, really. I'm telling you from my professional director's perspective, the mole on the matchmaker's face is a stroke of genius," Ning Hao said earnestly.

Huang Yiliang stares at Ning Hao with a deathly gaze.

If you were in "Crazy Racer," I, Huang Yiliang, would proudly declare my gratitude.

"What about the actress?" Huang Yiliang asked.

Yang Mi and Zhao Liying have already appeared on screen, so they definitely can't make cameo appearances as women in the car. However, apart from Zhang Li and the makeup artist, there were no other women on set.

"Isn't this it?" The woman Ning Hao pointed at turned around.

"puff--!"

This time, even Huang Yiliang couldn't hold back anymore.

It turns out that Wang Zha was dressed as a woman.

Although Wang Zha has also played a security guard in a cameo role, he is completely unrecognizable when dressed as a woman.

"No, how much money would you pay to cross-dress?" Huang Yiliang's face contorted with anger.

Wang Zha quickly explained, "Brother Liang, it's not about how much I get, it's that the featured actress is asking for 800, but the director said I'm very suitable, so I'll only get 400."

"Damn, you guys are saving money on this?" Huang Yiliang cursed irritably.

"It's not really about saving money. I've auditioned a few featured actresses, but none of them had the feel I wanted. This one is definitely the best." Ning Hao confidently patted his chest.

"Pfft—! That's Brother Zha!"

Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, who had finally caught their breath, burst into laughter again.

"What are you doing? Never seen anyone pick up girls before!" Huang Yiliang pushed open the car door and yelled at the camera.

"Cut! Excellent, one take. Keep up that 'want to punch someone' mood, there are two more shots to come."

The two subsequent shots of Huang Yiliang were also filmed in one take.

Ning Hao couldn't help but praise, "Brother Liang, why don't you just become an actor? You have a real talent for it!"

Huang Yiliang had an urge to kick Ning Hao in the face.

That bastard dared to mock me for having the potential to be an actor.

"You're going too far. They're called celebrities, it's a noble profession. What do you mean by 'actors'? That sounds awful," Zhou Mengdie said, speechless.

Okay! Zhou Mengdie deserves credit for those scenes just now.

"Alright! Let's start filming the scenes inside the car now."

Ning Hao clapped his hands and asked Wang Zha, "Wang Zha, do you want to get into the mood?"

"No need, I went over my lines with myself many times while I was putting on makeup," Wang Zha said, shaking his head.

"Let's begin!"

"Everyone get ready! We'll shoot straight to the scene. We won't waste film on the boss's scenes," Ning Hao shouted, displaying a particularly double standard.

"Action"

Huang Yiliang: "It's okay, come on!"

Huang Yiliang put his arm around Wang Zha and tried to kiss him.

Wang Zha: "No, don't you think we're moving too fast?"

Wang Zha blocked Huang Yiliang with his hand.

"Too fast?"

Huang Yiliang paused for a moment before starting to sing: "I've been waiting so long the flowers have withered, ahhh!"

Come on, baby!

"Click! Pass, excellent!"

Ning Hao genuinely felt that Huang Yiliang was suited for acting this time. If he had told Huang Yiliang to slow down, he was worried that Huang Yiliang would have actually kissed him. Two men together were too scary.
