With Xiaopang around, Du Yuanzhe easily found out the time for You Yingxue's audition.

This time he did not go to the scene, but asked Cheng Yu to give him the surveillance video of You Yingxue's audition.

The two have worked together before, and Du Yuanzhe knows that You Yingxue has good acting skills. Watching her performance again this time, he can clearly see her improvement.

You Yingxue is not a graduate of professional acting schools. Her acting skills were honed bit by bit. This is very similar to Du Yuanzhe. Both of them are self-taught. However, Du Yuanzhe is luckier than her. He later got guidance from famous directors and veteran actors.

By the way, if You Yingxue passes the audition this time, it will be her second collaboration with Wang Ligang, and she will be playing the role of the female lead. She should be able to learn more from Wang Ligang.

After watching You Yingxue's audition, Du Yuanzhe felt that the role was most likely hers.

"The Luck Plundering System has found a capable host this time."

[You Yingxue and Wei Lingling are in the same crew, the Luck Plundering System will not be at peace]

"Qiqi will send someone to ensure the safety of the crew. Judging from what happened with Liu Chenglian, You Yingxue is at least cautious enough, which is different from my perception of her."

You Yingxue is Zhou Chenlang's girlfriend. Du Yuanzhe had previously focused on Zhou Chenlang's plot, which naturally included You Yingxue.

In the novel, You Yingxue is ambitious and only wants to climb the social ladder. She uses Zhou Chenlang more than she likes him. Although she has never made a big mistake, she has made many stupid mistakes.

Du Yuanzhe has always thought that You Yingxue is just a smart person. She has a clear understanding of her own position, but she doesn't mind taking risks if it helps to improve her status in the entertainment industry, such as what she did with Wei Lingling before.

This person is definitely not prudent, but she is used to weighing the pros and cons.

But in the case of Liu Chenglian, You Yingxue did not leave any trace and was completely invisible. Neither Jiang Chelin nor Xia Ningmi could find any trace of her.

This is actually a scary thing.

Du Yuanzhe guessed: "Is it because You Yingxue hid too deeply, or has the luck-stealing system become smarter?"

[It may also be that Wang Yanxuan is too stupid and always takes actions on her own]

“There is actually another possibility.”

【What? 】

"Zhou Chenlang."

Du Yuanzhe said in a deep voice: "You Yingxue deliberately pushed Zhou Chenlang out to attract attention, but all this required Zhou Chenlang's cooperation, and Zhou Chenlang cooperated too well, just like... he knew exactly what You Yingxue needed him to do."

When I met Zhou Chenlang before, he deliberately concealed some things, and those things might be related to You Yingxue.

【Zhou Chenlang is a romantic man】

Du Yuanzhe sighed: "Zhou Chenlang is the most novel-like character I have ever seen. He is a romantic man both in and out of the play. He knows that the person he likes has been using him all the time, but he pretends to know nothing."

To become the new noble of Yancheng in the future, Zhou Chenlang has both intelligence and means, but he cares too much about You Yingxue, to the point of not knowing right from wrong. This is not what a smart person would do.

But when it comes to love, there's no logic to it.

"The Luck Plundering System has chosen You Yingxue. We will have to deal with more than one person in the future, at least Zhou Chenlang."

"I have a feeling this wouldn't be the first time Zhou Chenlang has covered for You Yingxue."

Zhou Chenlang is much more difficult to deal with than Wang Lianxuan.

[Well, let’s counter it as it happens]

"It's all I can do."

......

Just as Du Yuanzhe thought, You Yingxue successfully got another leading female role. This was not her first leading female role, but it was the one with the most potential.

After all, Wang Ligang is a guarantee of TV series ratings.

After the TV series was officially announced, the search volume for Wei Lingling and You Yingxue began to rise, and the comment section was relatively harmonious. The image of both of them in the eyes of the public was pretty good. However, Wei Lingling has gained a lot of black fans recently. It is inevitable that when a person becomes famous, he will be surrounded by gossip.

Du Yuanzhe no longer has time to pay attention to these things. "Surfaced" has already started promotion, and Du Yuanzhe is once again busy as a dog, following the team to various cities for roadshows, even going to several cities in one day.

Xu Cheng is really a rude person. He fully exploits Du Yuanzhe's popularity.

However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. Du Yuanzhe is exhausted, but his fans are extremely happy. How happy they are to see their idol often.

Especially since Du Yuanzhe is not a business person, his Weibo is always idle, and eight out of ten Weibo posts are about endorsements. Fans have basically given up expecting Du Yuanzhe to post on Weibo.

But Du Yuanzhe is too unkind. He is even more mysterious in real life. After he became famous, he was photographed privately only a handful of times, and all of them were near Qianying Entertainment, making Du Yuanzhe the most dedicated clock-in person in the entertainment industry.

Because generally speaking, actors only go to the company a few times a year.

Because it was so difficult for fans to see Du Yuanzhe, this roadshow was so successful that the organizers didn't even have to hire anyone to fill the show. Du Yuanzhe's fans even complained that the place was too small and many of them couldn't come.

Looking at the skyrocketing pre-sale box office every day and the constantly adjusted screening rate, Xu Cheng, this money-hungry guy, is about to laugh out loud, and he keeps saying nice things without paying for them.

"Yuanzhe, you are really my great contributor."

Du Yuanzhe was so tired that he collapsed on his chair and said, "Director Xu, please stop flattering me. Most of these pre-sales are because of you."

"But without you, the pre-sale would be 20% less, and we wouldn't have the current screening rate."

Du Yuanzhe was unmoved: "Director Xu, I have been cooperating with the promotion, can you please stop trying to scheme against me?"

Xu Cheng looked innocent: "What are you talking about? I can't even take care of you, my baby, how could I possibly plot against you."

When the staff nearby heard this, they all turned their heads away, fearing that Xu Cheng would spit on them.

"Well, let's stop asking my brother for help."

Xu Cheng is such a shameless guy that he doesn't care whether his requests are excessive or not.

He actually wanted all the hotels under Du Group to help promote his movie. Actually, this was nothing. Du Group was a business. As long as he could afford a reasonable price, it would be fine.

But Xu Cheng never thought about paying, he just wanted to get it for free.

Du Yuanzhe was so angry that he wanted to hit him.

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "You are talking about this. Yuanzhe, I am not plotting against you. This is your first movie. The better the performance, the better it will be for you. You are the second young master of the Du family. It is normal for you to ask your family for help."

Du Yuanzhe curled his lips and said, "Come on, this movie will be a good success, there's no need to do anything unnecessary."

Du Yuanzhe was too lazy to think about whether Xu Cheng understood the fan circle, but Du Yuanzhe was well aware of the unreasonableness of black fans and their ability to call a black cat a white cat. As long as Du Yuanzhe really let Du's Hotel help promote the movie, the black fans would dare to accuse him of faking the box office or spread rumors that he used off-screen tactics to increase his screening rate.

As Xu Cheng said, this is his first movie and he doesn't want to give anti-fans the opportunity to spread rumors.

Besides, asking Du for help should be the last resort, and this movie doesn't need this method at all.

Seeing that Du Yuanzhe was unmoved, Xu Cheng shook his head in disappointment, then dragged Du Yuanzhe to the next roadshow city.

......

Before Du Yuanzhe worked himself to death, he finally finished the roadshow. Whether he will continue with the roadshow depends on the performance of the movie.

However, Du Yuanzhe did not have much time to rest because it was soon time for the premiere.

Flower Lake Apartment

Du Yuanzhe lay on the sofa and asked, "Qiqi, are you going to the premiere?"

Xia Ningmi sat next to him, stroked his cheek, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your mother and I will run into each other?"

Chen Rongsan didn't want to miss the premiere of her son's movie, and had already said that she would attend. And not only her, but all the members of the Du family had to go, even Youyou, who had not yet learned to walk, had to go to support her uncle.

Du Yuanzhe said confidently, "What's so scary about this? We are in a serious relationship and it's not something we should be ashamed of."

Xia Ning said: "If you want me to go, I will go."

In fact, even if Du Yuanzhe didn't say it, Xia Ningmi would have gone. After all, it was Du Yuanzhe's first movie, and she, like Chen Rongshan, didn't want to miss it.

Moreover, some people would be invited to the premiere, and Xia Ningmi, as the president of Qianying Entertainment, was already among the invited guests.

Du Yuanzhe: "Please tell me your impressions of the movie when the time comes."

"Do you want me to write a review for you?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled: "You don't have to be so serious."

September 20, 6pm

A red carpet had been laid out outside the remote cinema, with reporters standing on both sides of the carpet, holding guns and cameras in their hands, ready to take pictures of the people who would appear in a while.

"I heard that there are a lot of people coming today, including quite a few big shots."

"Of course, you don't even think about who directed this movie. Which of Director Xu's movies didn't cause a sensation?"

"This time is different. I have reliable information that both President Jiang and President Xia will be in attendance."

"That's impossible. These two bosses are so busy, how can they have the leisure to attend a movie premiere?"

"Didn't President Xia serve as the guest of honor for the Spring Flower Awards some time ago? I guess the two bosses may be making big moves."

"Very likely."

The reporters were not idle while waiting, they were chatting and exchanging information with their colleagues.

"We can't guess what the two bosses are thinking, but I only know that after the movie is released, Du Yuanzhe will be the biggest winner."

"There is no need to wait for the movie to be released. Just look at the pre-sale box office of over 100 million now and you will know that Du Yuanzhe will have his first box office record."

"Take more pictures of him later. You can see how many fans there are around here. Man, I saw so many people that I thought a movie was released."

Not everyone can attend the premiere. There were so many fans but only a few could get in. To outsiders, it wasn't worth the trip at all.

But in the eyes of fans, as long as they can see Du Yuanzhe, they will be satisfied.

As everyone was chatting, the first car soon stopped in front of the red carpet.

The reporter immediately stopped talking and started taking pictures.

As the invited guests and the main creative team entered the venue one by one, the reporter couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many big names."

"Wei Lingling is here too. That's right. I remember that she has a very good relationship with Du Yuanzhe, and she has just signed a contract with Qianying Entertainment. It is only right for her to come and support her."

"Fuck! President Jiang is really here."

As Wei Lingling walked into the cinema, Jiang Chelin got out of a car behind her.

Suddenly, all the flash lights were on him.

Reporters shouted, hoping that Jiang Chelin would look at the camera, but Jiang Chelin ignored them and walked straight into the cinema. Countless reporters regretted that Xu Cheng did not arrange a host during the red carpet process so that they could interview Jiang Chelin.

Another half hour passed

Xu Cheng and Du Yuanzhe appeared one after another. Xu Cheng said that it would be troublesome to walk with Du Yuanzhe, so he entered the cinema before him.

Du Yuanzhe silently complained that Xu Cheng was not loyal at all, but he still had to keep a perfect smile on his face and stopped in front of the sign board to give reporters and fans a chance to take pictures.

Because the reporters and fans were too enthusiastic, Du Yuanzhe was kept for a long time before he was allowed to enter the cinema.

The premiere was to start at 7:30, but Xia Ningmi was nowhere to be seen.

"Didn't you say President Xia would come?"

"I said it was impossible. It's rare enough that President Jiang can come."

At this time, a reporter answered the phone and said, "No need to wait, President Xia has already gone in."

Hearing this, the reporters were disappointed for a moment, as they had thought they could take a photo of Xia Ningmi.

Inside the cinema

Du Yuanzhe felt like he had a thorn under his butt. He was restless and kept moving around.

Xu Cheng glanced at him and asked, "Do you have ADHD?"

Du Yuanzhe forced a smile: "It's okay."

He didn't even dare to look back, because he didn't know that even if it was arranged by the bastard, Xia Ningmi's seat was actually with the Du family, and Xia Ningmi happened to be next to Chen Rongshan.

[Don't let me know who arranged the seat, I won't forgive him]

Xia Ningmi was in the third row, one row away from Du Yuanzhe, but she could still hear his thoughts. After hearing this, she knew that Du Yuanzhe had no idea who owned this cinema.

The remote cinema was established when President Xia was in office. President Xia knew that the entertainment industry could make money and that movies were the most profitable, so he built cinemas in various cities very early on. Now it is the largest cinema in Yancheng.

However, the seating arrangement was not Xia Ningmi's idea. She asked Yueyue to arrange it. Obviously, Yueyue did not get much information and made a misunderstanding.

Xia Ningmi arrived late. When she arrived, the Du family had already arrived, and her seat was next to Chen Rongshan.

As soon as she sat down, the Du family members who were talking suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Zhimeng whispered, "Mom, how about we change seats?"

Chen Rongsan refused without hesitation. Changing positions now showed that she was afraid.

Xia Ningmi pretended not to notice their strangeness and greeted them calmly: "Uncle, Aunt."

She has accepted Du Yuanzhe's proposal. Although the two of them did not hold an engagement ceremony, they are already engaged. She will show a certain respect to the two elders of the Du family.

Chen Rongsan snorted and said nothing.

Du Yongliang's attitude was much better. He said, "If Mr. Xia is free, you can come to our house and visit us."

Xia Ningmi said: "I will go there in the future."

Zhao Zhimeng held Youyou in his arms. The little guy was very well behaved and didn't cry or make any noise. He was staring at Xia Ning curiously.

Du Yuanwen wanted to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Youyou is obsessed with looks at a young age, just like your uncle."

Xia Ningmi frowned slightly when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhimeng noticed her expression and immediately understood what Xia Ningmi was thinking. He deliberately said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. Yuanzhe is not obsessed with looks. I have never heard him say who is pretty in all these years."

Xia Ningmi's expression softened.

Zhao Zhimeng saw her changes and shook his head silently in his heart. Her possessiveness was really strong.
