Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
At this moment, Liu Qianqian was feeding Manyu the snacks she had prepared. Manyu really liked Liu Qianqian. Manyu was enjoying the snacks Liu Qianqian was feeding her.
"Sisi, why are you only arriving now? And who is this?"
She had seen Liu Xiaoli and Huang Boman before, but she didn't recognize Shen Lanlan, who had short hair and a neutral style.
Shen Lanlan looked at Maggie Cheung with excitement.
"Idol, I'm your fan!!! Ah!!! Idol, you're so beautiful!!!"
Maggie Cheung is used to such crazy fans and is not intimidated. Hong Kong fans are much crazier than those on the mainland.
Liu Qianqian sat next to Man Shen, kicking her legs and eating dried mango.
"Sister Manyu, she is Brother Shenfang's granddaughter. I recently got a role in a TV series, the second female lead, but I'm not happy there, so Brother Shenfang brought me here to play and have a vacation, hehe."
Zhang Ziyi, standing to the side, watched Liu Tianxian with great curiosity, captivated by her exceptional beauty. This reminded her of an old classmate, Zeng Li. While Liu Tianxian was still young and not yet particularly striking, Zhang Ziyi knew that she would undoubtedly grow up to be a stunning beauty.
At this moment, Shen Fang also came over.
"Sister Manyu, it's been a long time. Wow, you look so beautiful! Sister Manyu, you look absolutely gorgeous in your red dress today."
Maggie Cheung smiled as she looked at Shen Fang.
"Handsome, long time no see. Oh, by the way, the woman next to me is Zhang Ziyi, the second female lead in this movie."
Looking at Zhang Ziyi, who still looked quite young, Shen Fang had to admit that she wasn't very good-looking. She was too thin, and her appearance was just average, not Shen Fang's type.
"Hello. My name is Shen Fang."
Upon seeing Shen Fang, who possessed an outstanding temperament and striking good looks, Zhang Ziyi immediately extended her hand enthusiastically.
"Hello, I am Zhang Ziyi."
Zhang Ziyi looked at Zhang Manyu with a puzzled expression.
"Sister Manyu, who are they? Actors?"
"This handsome young man is an investor in our film. He invested over 20 million yuan. He's quite accomplished at such a young age. Ziyi, you two can chat with him more to make a better impression."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziyi's eyes immediately lit up with desire. Young, rich, and so handsome—wasn't he a diamond bachelor? No way, I have to seduce him!
Zhang Ziyi leaned against Shen Fang and put her hand on his shoulder: "Handsome, where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Beijing. Are you an actor too? What role do you play in this play? Do we have any scenes together? What does your family do?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I'm still a student."
"A student? How old are you? Do you have a girlfriend? Am I pretty?"
Faced with Zhang Ziyi's enthusiasm, Shen Fang simply responded with a smile.
She's internationally disgraced, a typical gold digger, dating only wealthy men, appealing to all ages, and somewhat unscrupulous in her methods. She even stole a role from her classmate Zeng Li in school. She has terrible connections in the industry, and her films are heavily influenced by Western themes. If she hadn't failed in Hollywood, she definitely wouldn't have returned to China. She's done so many shady things, just the nude photo scandal alone—it was an eyesore.
Liu Qianqian felt a surge of anger upon seeing Zhang Ziyi's appearance. What a wicked woman!
Liu Qianqian's face immediately turned cold.
Shen Fang keenly sensed the sudden change in Liu Qianqian's expression.
"Sisi, what's wrong?"
Liu Qianqian snorted and turned her head away. Then she got up and walked out.
Shen Fang looked at Maggie Cheung apologetically.
“Sister Manyu, Xixi seems a little unhappy. I’ll go talk to her.”
Who is Maggie Cheung? She could tell what happened just now just by looking at the situation.
She smiled and said, "Go ahead, Sisi has quite a temper."
Zhang Ziyi was also secretly annoyed; that little brat was causing trouble.
Watching Shen Fang walk away into the distance.
Manyu looked at Zhang Ziyi.
"Ziyi, you're being way too enthusiastic."
Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "Sister Manyu, I think Shen Fang is my soulmate. He's so handsome, young, rich, and has an outstanding temperament. Sister Manyu, please help me set him up."
Maggie Cheung shook her head and said, "I've only met Shen Fang once, and he definitely wouldn't be interested in you. Didn't you see the girl next to him? She's only 14 years old, but she's already a beauty. Besides, Shen Fang's attitude towards you was very perfunctory. There's no chance between you two."
Zhang Ziyi glared at the little girl Liu Qianqian with hatred.
“Little girl, Sister Manyu, please help me introduce Shen Fang to you. I really fell in love with him at first sight.”
Manyu cursed inwardly, "What love at first sight? You're just after her body and her money. You have no sense at all. She doesn't even acknowledge you, yet you still shamelessly try to get close to her."
However, Manyu still agreed to Zhang Ziyi's request because she knew that Shen Fang would never be interested in Zhang Ziyi.
Shen Fang caught up with Liu Qianqian.
"Sisi, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?"
Liu Qianqian snorted.
"What a nasty woman! She makes me angry just looking at her. She's been clinging to you since we just met. I hate her."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fang burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect you to have such a sharp eye, Sisi. Not bad, not bad. You should stay away from her in the future. This woman is ruthless and scheming, and most importantly, she has no shame."
Liu Qianqian glared at Shen Fang angrily.
"Then why are you chatting with her, and even smiling? Humph."
Shen Fang pinched Liu Qianqian's little face.
"Okay, it's the first day we've met, let's be magnanimous. If we see each other again, let's not chat too much. Don't be angry, you won't be pretty if you're angry."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian looked at Shen Fang.
"Then you should stay far away from her from now on. Brother Shen Fang is so annoying."
Shen Fang nodded.
"I know, you stingy person. He's your senior. If you give him attitude like that, he might say you don't know the rules."
Liu Qianqian said indifferently, "Tch, who would believe the words of a bad woman? I don't care at all, ╭(╯^╰)╮."
Shen Fang patted Liu Qianqian's little head. This child is indeed simple-minded. She directly shows who she doesn't like. You could say she's genuine, or you could say she has low emotional intelligence. To be precise, her mother, Tianxian, has protected her too well.
It was 6 p.m., and the sky was getting dark.
Zhang Yimou led the cast and crew to a small inn, where the lead actors would stay, while the others would sleep in tents.
After Shen Fang and the others settled down.
