Sean's face stretched as long as a train, his voice full of resentment. "Huangliang! You really have it made! I've been pursuing Dong Jiao for six months straight—six months! Not even a handshake, let alone a kiss! Last time at the hotel, I was about to go all the way, but it just didn't work out. And now, here I am—my own tournament finals were on the brink of victory, yet I didn't make it. Honestly, it's just not working out for me! Before I met you, I always had my way—everything went my way. But ever since I met you, everything has gone wrong. I've lost my momentum, my edge—everything! You've taken my spotlight! I'm not buying it! I'm far superior to you—by a hundredfold! Yet you've had better luck, holding onto that heavenly beauty. My heart has been shattered—she's *my* beauty!" After finishing his speech, Sean downed a bottle of French red wine in one go, then slammed the bottle to the floor with force. "Huangliang! If we're in France, I'll make you play! Can you handle that, you young man?"
On Laozi's home turf, Laozi is absolutely the top dog! Hmph! The Cannes Film Festival is just around the corner—right before it kicks off, I'm finishing this film and heading straight for the top prizes!
Ha! That third-rate director you hired—doesn't even have the credentials to enter the festival! Just by raising my voice in the film industry, the entire world of cinema shivers! I am the undisputed king of cinema! You? You're nothing but a pretty face with no real substance—a mere second-rate nobody! You're going to die, Dong Jiao! With you, Dong Jiao's dream of rising to fame is pure fantasy!
With that, he immediately launched into action against Yu Di.
At this moment, Xiang Shen, energized by alcohol, was like a bull in heat, charging straight at Yu Di.
Yu Di swiftly dodged, and Xiang Shen missed his mark—frustrated, Xiang Shen thought, Dong Jiao couldn't handle this. Could it be that even Dong Jiao No. 2 couldn't manage it either? Good heavens!
Before Sean had even lost his temper, Yu Di began speaking: "Mr. Sean, we have a contract in place. If I haven't made it onto the international film scene, you won't be able to treat me this way!" At that moment, Sean was consumed by passion and couldn't care less—his frustration grew. "Yu Di," he said, "you know how much I've invested in promoting you. Surely, you should have something to repay me!" Yu Di chuckled, saying, "As far as I know, the MTV I filmed for you has already generated a million dollars in revenue for you—yet you've never even shared a single slice of that success with me!" "Oh! You're right—I completely forgot! Well, well! I'll immediately give you a 10% share!" Sean's enthusiasm wavered slightly. "Hmph! You're really stingy! The contract clearly stated 50%, wasn't it? How could it have shrunk so much? If this kind of cooperation continues, it'll be utterly pointless. I'm going straight to work with the bearded director!"
"Upon hearing this, Sean immediately panicked. At this crucial stage of filming 'Dreaming of the Red Chamber,' Yu Di, as the lead actress, absolutely couldn't be pulled away—otherwise, Sean's entire effort would come to naught, and the investment partners would suffer massive losses. In that case, Sean's reputation as an internationally acclaimed director would be ruined. He immediately pleaded with Yu Di, saying, 'Alright! Alright! I agree—50% for me, 50% for you—how about that?' Yu Di didn't immediately agree, but simply stated to Sean, 'Add one condition: from now on, you must never touch me again. Our relationship will be purely commercial.' Sean had to nod in agreement, though visibly disappointed. Honestly, he couldn't even touch Dong Jiao, and now this young beauty too—what a hassle! If only he had known how difficult it would be to work with her from the start, he wouldn't have spent so much effort and resources packaging both of them. Packaging Dong Jiao was worth it, given her popularity. But packaging Yu Di—well, that truly required a significant investment."
Come on! You actually won't let me touch you! You dare to defy the unwritten rules? Fine, I'll hold my patience. Once I get to France, I'll have my way with you! Haha! Shawn keeps the malicious plan hidden in his heart. He appears sincerely committed on the surface, but deep down, he's already plotting against Yu Die. You wanted fame and fortune, didn't you? Well, I'll pretend to give it to you. I'll cast a long line and wait for a big catch—let your sisters fight each other to the death in the film and entertainment industry. Neither of you will rise to prominence unless you willingly join my fold. The scene shifts to the Shaolin Temple. Star beauty Dong Jiao is diligently following the rigorous training plan outlined by Gao Liang. The drama "Dreaming of the Red Chamber" is positioned as a historical wuxia series, featuring extensive martial arts sequences, which significantly increases the acting demands, especially for the lead male and female characters. While modern film and television production techniques can compensate for the actors' inherent shortcomings, Gao Liang's artistic vision strives for a truly authentic and perfect recreation.
That is truly a performance of skill and mastery. We are committed to promoting our Shaolin Temple's traditional martial arts, ensuring that our Shaolin martial arts are passed down and admired worldwide, so that people around the world come to appreciate the profound cultural depth of our entire Shaolin Temple. This is our foremost recognition. What I am performing is not merely a film, but the brilliant and rich historical and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. We are dedicated to promoting China's national culture, making it flourish globally, and ensuring that the world understands that only China's outstanding historical and cultural traditions are truly exceptional. As Chairman, Gao Liang has issued a firm commitment to Director the Big-Browed filmmaker, requiring him to take an international perspective and to hold himself to the highest international standards for film and television production, continuously learning and researching the international standards of the cultural and creative industries.
My desire to establish a film and television group came about in this context. Originally a film and television company, it rapidly expanded into a full-fledged film and television group under the decisive leadership of Gao Liang, with strong backing from the board of directors and major shareholders. The group now features clear internal divisions, strict management, and a strong emphasis on talent acquisition—renowned directors, rising stars, and outstanding students from Beijing City Media University have all joined. Gao Liang has hired key personnel with substantial investments and restructured the organization. For instance, Dong Jiao's monthly salary has reached 1 million US dollars—her highest salary to date. Although she earned substantial income during her work on "Dreaming of the Red Chamber," which was filmed under extremely challenging conditions, her current compensation, though still demanding, has significantly improved. If Dong Jiao begins filming officially, her compensation will double; if the market response is positive, it will further increase in several tiers. "The Gold-Sucking Queen!"
The "legendary diva" Dong Jiao has grown increasingly popular as my Wuyu Chengshen Media Group expands. Working alongside her husband has truly paid off—because he consistently invests in himself, Dong Jiao feels deeply fulfilled. Honors, wealth, and status pour in, one after another. Yet her husband isn't letting her take it all for granted; he expects her to work hard. Gao Guang says: "I can offer you a high salary—but you must create corresponding value for me!"
