Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes: "Nothing? You're so generous, but they won't be grateful to you."

She didn't like Yang Xiaomi. She could tell at a glance that Yang Xiaomi was a typical Beijing alley girl—snobbish, carefree, and cunning. From their first meeting, Liu Xiaoli didn't like Yang Xiaomi.

Although Yang Xiaomi was very ingratiating towards them, Liu Xiaoli knew that this was a common social tactic among celebrities. How could such a young girl be so materialistic? Although she was also materialistic, she didn't want her daughter to be friends with such people, fearing that Liu Qianqian would be corrupted.

That's just how double standards they are.

However, what Liu Xiaoli said was indeed the truth, and Shen Fang also thought it made sense.

"Sisi, there are no real friends in the world of fame and fortune. If you become famous, others will be jealous; if you don't become famous, others will step on you. Although I'm here to protect you, you can't be too naive and innocent."

Liu Qianqian pouted and said, "Brother Shen Fang will protect me for the rest of my life."

Shen Fang smiled gently and patted Liu Qianqian's head: "Of course, this is my promise."

"However, you should also learn what you need to learn, otherwise people will think you're a little fool."

Liu Xiaoli nodded in agreement: "That's right. There are still more bad people in Qianqian's circle."

"It's okay for boys, but for girls, especially pretty girls, there are too many bad people."

Huang Xiaoming, who was standing nearby, tried it out, but it's not safe for boys either!!!

However, that statement is not wrong.

Male celebrities in the entertainment industry are really not safe. Many of them have powerful male partners who are into homosexuality. It's one thing for them to be taken advantage of by older women, since they are women after all. But for the male partners, it's a painful experience. The pain can even cause lifelong trauma.

"Mr. Shen, I want to act in movies."

Shen Fang glanced at Huang Xiaoming: "Want to upgrade your status?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "I already have quite a few representative works, and Brother Huang also thinks it's time for me to develop in the film industry."

Shen Fang nodded: "Okay, but it's probably unlikely that you'll be the male lead at the beginning. You don't have a chance to be in Director Zhang's films right now, and it's impossible for him to let you be one."

“A supporting role is fine with me, I’m not picky. As long as it’s a film directed by Director Zhang, it’s a blessing for me to be in it.”

Shen Fang patted Huang Xiaoming on the shoulder: "Find your own way. Try to get along well with Director Zhang, and you'll naturally get the part. I won't make any decisions about Director Zhang's films. He'll arrange everything himself. But you can try to develop your career in the Hong Kong film industry. Have Huang Bin and Shi Nansheng contact each other, and she'll arrange opportunities for you."

"Thank you so much, boss!!!" Huang Xiaoming was overjoyed. With his boss's approval, his job was secure. The Hong Kong entertainment industry was currently his best career path.

If he plays the male lead once or twice in Hong Kong, his status in the domestic market will basically be secured. Why the male lead? Just kidding, Dragon Harvest's status in Hong Kong is unmatched by ordinary people. Huang Xiaoming has done his homework. Since Shen Fang has spoken up, he can't possibly be playing a minor role. At the very least, he'll be the second male lead.

When he takes a look around, it's certain that he'll have a place among the leading men of his generation in mainland China.

"Xiao Fang..." Liu Xiaoli, who was standing to the side, had an idea. There was no way around it; that's just how this industry is. Actors in TV dramas can never compare to actors in movies, and the small screen can never compare to the big screen.

A TV series might sell tickets even if the lead actors aren't currently popular, thanks to its compelling storyline and excellent acting, because it doesn't cost money. But movies are different; they require real money to produce.

Why did major commercial film directors prefer to use Hong Kong and Taiwanese actors in their early careers? Was it because they were good actors? There are plenty of actors in China who are better than them. It's because they have fame and popularity that people are willing to pay to watch their films.

Big-name celebrities bring in box office revenue. Of course, this is a kind of superstition, but it does have some influence. In the early stages of a movie's release, it really does rely on these well-known celebrities to attract audiences, and only then does the movie itself become relevant.

Movies are the true test of an actor's value. That's why Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are so amazing.

It's because people buy into their movies, they're famous, and their acting is good that people are willing to pay to see them.

Being famous doesn't mean you can guarantee box office success. To become a top-tier actor in China, you need to be able to carry a film, have a representative work, and win awards. Just acting in TV dramas won't make you a top-tier actor, no matter how famous you are. You must have a well-known film.

Among the "Four Little Flowers," Liu Qianqian is the only one who truly stands out. The other three, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi, don't have any representative works and are considered pseudo-first-tier actresses, unlike the "Four Dan and Two Bing" actresses, who genuinely possess all the necessary qualities to achieve first-tier status and thus have access to top-tier resources in China.

"Aunt Liu, Xixi is still young and needs a solid foundation. Don't worry about the movie, I'll definitely keep it in mind. We'll go straight to Hollywood to develop our careers."

Liu Xiaoli nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this: "With you here, Qianqian can fulfill her wish."

Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes: "Mom, it's clearly your wish."

Liu Xiaoli pinched Liu Qianqian's little cheek: "Mommy's wish isn't your wish? Don't you want to become a big star?"

"President Shen, you're so good to Yifei. Alas, it's a pity I'm not a woman. By the way, President Shen, what do you think of the human extermination plan?"
