During the live stream, the camera focused on the man's tall and perfect figure; he was wearing ordinary black sunglasses.

With her high, straight nose and perfect lips, she strode into the villa, while the young actors inside could no longer contain themselves and shouted excitedly.

"It really is him, it really is him!"

"I thought Director Zhu was just bragging when he said he would invite a world-renowned director, but he actually did!"

"Ahhh, I need to get a pen and get an autograph! I'm a fan of An!"

Director Zhu followed behind An, a smug smile on his face.

It's worth noting that An has always been low-key; aside from film releases, she hasn't accepted any other interviews or television appearances over the years. This is An's first variety show appearance!

He already had a shortlist of five directors, all of whom were very famous.

But now he has to reconsider.

He had previously sent invitations to several big directors, but as soon as they heard it was a variety show, seven out of ten of them backed down. But once today's live broadcast goes off, those people will have to come back to him.

With An as his living advertisement, he can tackle even the toughest challenges!

Zhu Ze smiled smugly behind An's back.

An wasn't interested in Zhu Ze's future plans or ideas; he only came to this variety show and participated in the program for one person...

Lulu, Fang Yaming, is someone even the usually arrogant Song Hansheng eagerly anticipates welcoming. He has directed many popular classic films and is an idol to many.

However, An, who was being stared at by everyone, straightened his collar, took off his sunglasses, and looked around, but he did not see her.

Zhu stepped forward, wanting to take the suitcase from An's hand, "Let me carry it for you." An, however, pulled the suitcase slightly behind her hand: "No need, I can do it myself."

Zhu Ze didn't look disappointed even after being rejected: "We've reserved rooms for several directors on the third floor. Why don't you take a look around first, and then decide which room you want to stay in?"

After scanning the scene, An still couldn't find the person he wanted to see. He frowned slightly, feeling quite disappointed.

"good."

Shen Lian gracefully emerged from the corridor carrying a cup of coffee, smiling naturally: "Aoli, long time no see."

She raised an eyebrow again: "I really didn't expect you to participate in this variety show. Aren't you going to say hello to everyone?"

[Did you get to know An after you became an actress?]

His English name is Ollie.

[Isn't that normal? One is a brilliant film director, and the other is a stunningly beautiful actress. They might even collaborate in the future!]

An glanced back at Chen Lian, then nodded and looked at everyone: "I am An. For the next three months, I will be working with everyone to complete this variety show."

Lulu couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" in surprise. Director Zhu led the applause, his hands and face turning red from clapping. Fang Yaming and the others followed suit.

Zhu seized the opportunity and said, "Director An, you are the first person to come to the program team, and you are the idol of many people here..." Zhu said shamelessly, "Actually, you are also my idol. I watched your movies before I debuted."

"Could you perhaps give our actors a lesson tonight? Everyone likes you so much?"

The assistant director mentally gave the director a thumbs-up like firecrackers going off: No wonder he's a director! It would take him over a decade to develop that thick skin!

You know, a director like Ann, who is popular and has won awards, could have his courses auctioned off and people would buy them!

An, who is thirty years old this year, looked at Zhu, who is forty years old, and remained silent for a moment.

"Okay." It was he who suggested joining the show midway through.

Shen Lian's slightly flickering gaze fell on An's face: This is an internationally renowned director. As long as she associates with him, she can easily showcase herself on the international stage.

The "Actress System" gains energy for two reasons: first, by humiliating the female lead, Bai Yan; and second, through each success she achieves. Her domestic status is unlikely to rise much in the short term, but her international standing is...

Looking at An Junmei's godlike Eastern face, Shen Lian smiled slightly. She was confident that with her current charm, no man would want to refuse her.

...

After An reached the third floor, he put down his suitcase and looked around. His father was one-quarter German, so he was taller than the average Chinese person.

The multi-story villa he was renting for the show was so cramped that it was clearly not suitable for his height... but he could only put up with it for now.

He thought again, she was an actress, she should live on the first or second floor, maybe he could run into her. With that thought, he quickly straightened his clothes and went out towards the escalator.

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor rang out, and then a slender figure appeared opposite him.

"Olive, I just brewed some coffee. Want to go to the balcony and have a cup together?"

The photographer was taking pictures. The sun was at its most comfortable at this moment, warming people without being scorching, just like Chen Lian's smile.

The photographer couldn't help but be captivated. Looking at Chen Lian in the lens, he thought, "What man in the world could resist such a beautiful woman?"

“Sorry, I’m allergic to coffee,” Ann said.

Despite being rejected, Shen Lian still smiled gently: "That's such a pity." She pressed the coffee cup to her face: "I often rely on this to stay up all night when filming; it's my best partner."

She looked incredibly beautiful and sexy against the cup, drawing praise from fans in front of the camera.

However, An only felt annoyed. She was blocking his way downstairs. Why did she have to stand in the middle?
