Chapter 677 The Dog Thief Master

Then they also revealed that they were raising a ghost child.

Original text: I'll tell you a ghost story from the entertainment industry: Some female celebrities, desperate for fame, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers every day, begging the Bodhisattva to give them an international role. Some even go to Thailand to summon "little ghosts," supposedly dead infants, which can do anything for you—beauty is secondary! Some female celebrities use lipstick made from corpse oil, which is said to guarantee their popularity! They really risk everything for fame...

The female celebrity mentioned here is Li Lianhua. The two had a falling out because of a role in the movie "Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame". Yuan Li later posted on a secondary account that Li Lianhua had stolen her thunder. Although she used a secondary account, netizens still saw through her lie. At this time, she was acting crazy.

She basically faded out of the entertainment industry after that. Later, she went crazy again on a variety show, making Zhang Guoli lose face. No matter how he tried to persuade her, he couldn't. At this point, she was in a state of madness.

It can be said that they had a perfect start, but then they courted disaster all the way down, ultimately ruining themselves.

Watching Yuan Li's swaggering demeanor from behind, Huang Yi secretly nodded in approval. Following her example was the right thing to do; if you wanted to get ahead, you had to find a sugar daddy. Look at her, now she's basking in the limelight by the side of a powerful figure.

"Keep it down, today isn't the time for you to show off," Fatty Yu said, pulling on Yuan Li, who was waving and striking a pose to her fans.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Dong glanced at the audience below the stage, smiled but said in a low voice with a forced smile, "Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? Hurry up and leave. How many big shots are here? Mind your manners. Today is not the place for you to show off. Keep it to yourself."

Yuan Li nodded. She was very obedient. To be precise, she needed to pretend to be obedient now. If you don't act well, you won't get a position.

Rong Xinda's Li Xiaowan, along with her contracted director Li Lihong, top star Xun Ge, her new goddaughter Yang Xiaomi, and her biological son Lin Shenyu, arrived at the scene.

Yang Xiaomi exclaimed, "My God, this is the level of a big director, holding the premiere here."

Lin Shenyu also looked eager: "I wonder when I'll be able to act in Director Zhang's movies."

Li Xiaowan glanced at her son. This was a difficult matter, to be precise, extremely difficult. Given Zhang Yimou's current status, he had no say whatsoever. Rong Xinda originally started with television dramas. They also made movies, but in recent years, their films had been getting progressively worse, with box office returns steadily declining. She was now even preparing to leave the film industry to focus solely on television dramas.

The main problem is that the film industry isn't doing so well these days. Although it's better than before, it's all about big-budget productions, which Rong Xinda can't afford. Making TV dramas is much more stable; as long as it's produced, you can make money. So she doesn't have much influence in mainstream circles.

Even if she wanted to support her son, she didn't have the ability. But since these were things her son, as his mother, wanted, she would definitely do her best.
