Lu Hao, wrapped in a white pullover, a black hat, and a mask, took a taxi, randomly chose a movie theater he liked, and walked in.

I looked at my watch and it was still twenty minutes until midnight.

Some people go to the movies to accompany their boyfriends, some to accompany their girlfriends, some to hold hands, some to kiss...

But some people just like watching movies.

For example, Lu Hao.

It was the dead of night, and he was all alone. It was obvious that he was a single man.

In fact, many people invited me.

Chu Wen, Jiang Xianyu, Zhou Xiaomeng, and countless young ladies on Weibo.

Lu Hao refused.

When he watches a movie, he likes to watch it alone in silence.

This is also a little quirk.

…

"Dear, would you like to see 'The Dancing Girl' or 'The Dancing Girl of Izu'?"

In front of the ticket machine, a young couple was holding hands, and the tall and strong boy asked.

"I...I can do anything."

The girl blushed slightly.

I thought it was okay not to watch it.

"So you're going to see them all?"

"How about watching 'Dancing Girl' first, then 'The Dancing Girl of Izu'?"

"Let me tell you, Lu Hao is quite talented. The movie 'The Piano Tuner' that I recommended to you last time was also directed by him. Isn't it great? These two movies were also directed by him. They have the same theme but different styles..."

He said a lot of things.

The girl looked up at him and sighed silently.

"It'll be almost four o'clock by the time we finish watching it."

The boy waved his hand.

"Hey, what's the big deal? When I stayed in the internet cafe all night, from midnight to eight o'clock, I didn't even go to the bathroom in between."

…

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Hao smiled and bought a ticket from a machine next to him. He decided to watch Chu Wen's "Dancing Girl" first.

Actually, this is the second time.

I watched it once before in the company's cinema.

However, last time I looked at it from the perspective of an investor and a director.

And this time, it's purely from the audience's perspective.

Ticket checking.

Come in.

The attendance rate was pretty good, nearly 60%.

You have to know that this is midnight and tomorrow is a weekday.

Those who can come at this time are true fans.

Lu Hao sat down quietly in the middle of the last row and turned off his cell phone.

The movie will be released soon.

…

…

Hotel.

The dancer twisted her body to the sound of dynamic music, and a man in a suit was filming her with a camera and a cruel look in his eyes.

Lens transition.

After making love, the two lay in bed, covered with the quilt.

The man smokes and the dancer cries.

Upset by her crying, the man grabbed her by her hair and slapped her hard across the face.

“Crack!”

A voice rang out.

Three people appeared in the hotel room: the director, the cameraman, and the lighting technician.

The director grabbed the man in the suit by the collar and yelled, "Are you fucking sick? Why are you hitting him so hard?"

The man in the suit apologized timidly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it..."

After scolding the man in the suit viciously, the director asked him to send the dancer to the hospital.

The man in the suit respectfully agreed and went out with her, leaving the filming site.

When going out.

He turned to look at the director and made a V sign.

…

In a taxi.

"Does it hurt?"

The man in the suit sitting in the back seat asked with concern and consideration.

"I'm really sorry. I just got divorced yesterday. You and my wife, oh no, I should call her ex-wife now, look a bit alike."

"Um?"

The dancer was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at him, her clear eyes revealing curiosity and a bit of sympathy.

"Why?"

She asked.

"We're actors, that's how it is. She couldn't stand me filming with other women, and I couldn't stand him either. The conflicts accumulated day by day, and finally it came to this."

"The main reason is that I'm not famous. Unlike you, you became the leading actress as soon as you debuted."

"The director is very good. If you follow him, you will definitely become famous."

The dancer lowered her head and smiled shyly, her eyes sparkling and full of longing for the future.

…

The members of this crew, the director, cameraman, lighting technician, and the man in a suit, are all veterans who have been in society for many years and have considerable connections in the film and television industry.

Under the pretext of filming, starting with that slap, they continued to test the dancer's bottom line.

Someone played the bad guy and bullied her intentionally or unintentionally.

The dancer in the middle resisted and tried to escape.

But the director always plays the role of a good guy, taking good care of her and soothing her emotions.

She worked hard to pursue her ideal.

Until one day, the time is almost right.

The director said he would take her to meet an investor, which would be very beneficial to her future. The dancer hesitated but decided to go.

She was drunk, of course.

That night, she lost her virginity as a matter of course.

When she woke up in the morning, she looked at the five people in the room, the director and his brothers, and she felt completely hopeless and almost went crazy.

"Don't you want to be famous?"

…

"You have to pay a price to be famous..."

…

"Fame, money, flash lights, the spotlight... who wouldn't want such good things? But no one can give them to you for free. If you want them, you can only exchange them for what you already have..."

…

"This... is the supreme law of this circle."

…

"And you, what do you have? Face? Figure? Youth? Or... soul?"
