"OK! OK! OK!" Shawn was extremely satisfied—Yú Dié had never before been so bold in her on-screen performances! He immediately stepped onto the stage, pulled Yú Dié up, and said to her, "Yú Dié, you don't need to take on such roles—just find a stand-in!" When Yú Dié saw it was Dong Jiao, she immediately gave Dong Jiao a cold, sharp look and said, "Why can't I take on these roles? If I don't, someone else will! Since I entered the film and television industry, I've always been behind you, quietly following you. Now, at last, my moment has come. I'll get what I need—both the lead role in this drama and my journey toward becoming an international star!" "You! You've actually replaced my position?" Dong Jiao was completely surprised. At that moment, Shawn walked over to Dong Jiao and said, "Last night, I went directly to Yú Dié's place. Yú Dié is more perceptive than you—she's agreed to all my requests! If you also agree, I'll make you even more popular and successful!" "You! Base! Unworthy!" Dong Jiao finally grasped肖恩's true intentions. He was manipulating the beautiful Chinese women. No, I must stop Yu Di from continuing her performance here. Yu Di is also a talented actress—she would surely shine even more if she worked directly with me. "Yu Di! Hurry up! Come with me! Let's go back to our original production team! The director with the big beard may be strict, but I've come to realize that under such rigorous guidance, one is pushed to achieve real results!" Dong Jiao urged Yu Di, who shook her head vigorously, like a lighthouse, and gave Dong Jiao a cold smile: "The director with the big beard? With his current capabilities, he barely makes the cut for even the shortlist of the Cannes Film Festival. As for Sean, once his film is completed, it will sell out and gain international fame!" "Yu Di, our Chinese film and television industry has tremendous potential. We must contribute to the cultural heritage of our nation!" Dong Jiao is a good girl who deeply loves her country. She wants to reposition herself—she doesn't need to be wildly successful, but she does need to strive hard. But Yu Die simply won't listen, saying, "Dong姐, these big principles have long since become outdated. Right now, all I care about is: I want to become popular, I want to go viral! Only when I'm widely recognized and celebrated can I truly stand out and achieve success in a grand way! Don't try to persuade me anymore—I've made up my mind!" Dong Jiao grits her teeth and says, "Perhaps, we've gone from good friends to competitors. But I hope we can work together!" At this moment, Xiong extends his hand on behalf of Yu Die, saying, "If you can truly collaborate with me, then we won't end up with you and me turning against each other!" He then reaches out, hoping Dong Jiao will willingly extend her hand. But Dong Jiao doesn't take it. She turns to Xiong and says, "Xiong! Isn't this all part of your strategy? I won't work with you. I want to make my mark in the film and television industry After speaking these words, Dong Jiao turned and left without looking back. Our newly established "I Want to Become a God" Film Company, under the I Want to Become a God Group, has appointed the director with a full beard as the overall director, and Gao Liang as chairman. The sequel to "Dreaming of the Red Chamber" is being filmed simultaneously by two different film companies—one by the renowned French director Xiong, the other by the Chinese director with a full beard. Media coverage has consistently favored Xiong's international star, presenting a one-sided positive outlook, while casting doubt on the Chinese director with a full beard. Moreover, negative news about Dong Jiao has been pouring in. By leaving Xiong, Dong Jiao appears to have undermined her own career trajectory, signaling the end of her prominence and fading star power. Meanwhile, the rising star Yu Di has made a strong comeback, brilliantly presented and promoted by Xiong, now shining brightly and poised for a promising future. Dong Jiao was under tremendous psychological pressure. While filming the version of "Dreaming of the Red Chamber" set in another part of China, she often lost her train of thought—especially this time, when she had to shoot on-site at the Shaolin Temple. During one scene, Dong nearly fell from a high building, but was caught by a pair of strong hands. A pleasant masculine scent drifted over, and when she looked up, she saw someone both unfamiliar and yet familiar—Gao Liang. Dong quickly tried to free herself, but Gao held her tightly, gently saying, "I know you've endured a lot. This time, at the Shaolin Temple, it will be even more challenging. You'll have to learn the most authentic Shaolin martial arts with me!" "Really? Are you willing to teach me? Do you have the time?" Dong asked, her eyes wide with wonder. Gao nodded seriously, saying, "Miss Dong! I've thought this through—this production will be entirely self-composed, self-directed, and self-performed!" I believe this film will be even more successful under the historical and cultural context of our Chinese civilization—after all, "the world's martial arts originate from Shaolin!" "Agreed," Dong Jiao nodded. "Starting tomorrow, you must wake up with me. You need to be up by 4:30 a.m. for morning exercises—mountain climbing! After reaching the summit, join me in the Da Mo Cave to practice sword techniques. Then, after sword practice, train in boxing and grappling skills. You must go to bed no later than 10:30 p.m., and remember to review your daily practice before going to sleep. I’ll check it the next day—any items not up to standard will require full retraining. Understood?" Gao Liang delivered his training plan with great seriousness. "You! You treat me like what? I’m not doing it! I won’t do it—I’ll never do it!" Dong Jiao refused. This plan is nothing short of a devil’s training—how could anyone not be exhausted? I absolutely won’t comply. "You must do it—because you are my woman," Gao Liang insisted firmly. Dong Jiao blushed instantly when Gao Qiang said he considered her his woman, immediately exclaiming, "Go! Who's your woman!" And with that, she hurried to leave. Gao Qiang reached out and caught her, embracing her tightly, saying, "Honey! My second lady-in-waiting! My words are sincere—should you fail to meet my expectations, I have the right to dismiss you!" "Oh? Really? Then excellent. I'm no longer playing my part—see how well you can act!" Dong Jiao smiled lightly. Gao Qiang then leaned his lips close to her ear, speaking gently, "Honey, where would we be without you? I'll make up for all that I've missed before—spend more time with you! Because I've realized you're not someone who merely seeks recognition—you've truly passed the test!" "Yes! Husband! You're so bad! You didn't even notice me when I returned! This time, I'll keep you busy every single day! Busy! Busy! Hah!" Dong Jiao had rarely seen her smile with such genuine appreciation. Gao Liang said, "This time, we're going to perform side by side! Let's see who truly shines!" "Excellent! That's exactly what you said! But if I do well, I'll certainly have my reward!" Dong Jiao extended her hand, making a clear gesture for Gao Liang to act. Gao Liang chuckled and replied, "Then, you just take it!"
