Film queen Yu Lina was having dinner at a high-end restaurant that required reservations a month in advance.
But for a star of her level, queuing is non-existent. Just like if a region prohibits dine-in, stars can use the back door to book a private restaurant.
"Sister, you should be happier." Yu Lina's agent is her younger sister, a not-so-bright but incredibly ruthless person. "You're definitely going to win the Best Actress award this time."
"Shut up!" Yu Lina frowned, then softened her tone. "What I meant was, don't say that kind of thing in public. Besides, I have so many opponents, who can say for sure?"
The agent smiled and continued, "Sister, among the movies to be released this year, there are only two that seem to be competing with you. Qiao Zishan's new movie, which I heard is a professional movie. And the other one is Su Yin's. These two are from the same company, so they will definitely split the tickets in the end."
Yu Lina chuckled softly, then casually stirred the bowl of soup in front of her with a spoon. "Qiao Zishan just won the Golden Elephant Award last year, so her chances of winning again this year are slim. If I were Zhou Yiyang, I would definitely give her up for Su Yin."
"Su Yin's advantage is her popularity, good reputation within the industry, and the support of a powerful figure." At this point, her agent, Yu Lihong, snorted, "Isn't she just pretty? I think those directors like her because of her face. Sister, do you think there's another layer of connection between her and Mr. Zhou?"
At this moment, Yu Lina's hand suddenly stopped. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't make up stories out of nothing. This kind of thing without any evidence will only cause trouble."
"I know," Yu Lihong sighed. "I've tried very hard to dig up dirt on her, but I really found nothing. And we can't go too far. After all, her mother has connections."
"You work hard!" Yu Lina shook her head. "But she's young after all. If the judges can consider my years of hard work in filmmaking, they should give me some encouragement."
"Yeah," Yu Lihong pursed her lips. "To put it bluntly, with Su Yin's looks, popularity, and resources, it's only a matter of time before she's crowned queen. Why would she bother competing with us? Well, we're familiar with PR. Even Zhou Yiyang wouldn't necessarily be able to beat me."
"Hmm," Yu Lina stared at the plate of sashimi the waiter had placed on the table and suddenly said, "Su Yin and Zhou Yiyang, you should focus on investigating these two. You're right, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and the age difference is not that big, it would be abnormal if there weren't sparks. Men, no matter how righteous they usually act, they are animals who speak with their lower body at heart."
"Okay, sister, I get it." Yu Lihong smiled. "Just look at how many people are fawning over you on Weibo! Every time your movie is scheduled, those people who come to fawn over you and wish you well look like lapdogs!"
"Don't say that," Yu Lina said with a smile, "They are much more popular than me."
However, Yu Lihong's expression suddenly changed, which made Yu Lina look at her again: "What's wrong?"
"Sister..." Yu Lihong bit her lip, her expression unclear whether it was anger or shock. "Su Yin's movie has been scheduled. It will be released on the same day as ours!"
She threw her cell phone heavily onto the table, as if it was not a cell phone but a bomb that would explode at any time.
"What?" Yu Lihong quickly picked up her phone and took a look. The hot search list was surprisingly harmonious.
The most searched topic: #Su Yin’s new movie release date set#.
The second most searched topic: #Yu Lina returns as the best actress, new film release date set#.
She was suppressed by Su Yin again!
"Sister, what should we do?" Yu Lihong didn't expect Zhou Yiyang to do such a thing.
"Let's, let's change the release date!" Yu Lina was a seasoned veteran after all. Although changing release dates was a bit embarrassing, she would rather avoid Su Yin than be completely crushed at the box office.
"Why?" Yu Lihong's head got hot again. "Are we bound to lose?"
This time, Yu Lina didn't answer. Only Yu Lihong stared at the plate of medium-rare steak in front of her, still covered in blood. "Damn it! Popular celebrities are the most annoying!"
In the end, Yu Lina's film was moved up with a very high-sounding reason: "Because the fans are too enthusiastic, in order to let the audience enjoy the film faster, the film company decided to release it a week earlier to give back to the fans!"
However, Yu Lina naturally did not give up the competition with Su Yin for the Best Actress award, and she increasingly wanted to win through unconventional means.
Su Yin later learned about this from Bai Yangyu, and she was deeply touched by Zhou Yiyang's actions.
But she really didn't understand why Yu Lina did this to her.
She even went to ask Zhou Yiyang about this.
The weather was nice that day, and Zhou Yiyang had just signed a big contract for TikTok.
So when Zhou Yiyang saw Su Yin, he invited her to dinner at a restaurant that had been very popular recently.
Of course Su Yin was happy, as she had previously been troubled by the long queues at this store.
"Brother Yang, I remember this restaurant is closed every Saturday, right?" Su Yin asked curiously. At the moment, there were only two of them in the restaurant, and all the waiters were only serving them.
There are two reasons why this restaurant is popular. One is that the food tastes great and the chef has won many competitions in China and is an internet celebrity himself.
The other main issue is the boss's casual attitude. He closes the restaurant on Saturdays, only offers a limited amount of food each day, and is an expert in hunger marketing.
The only reason Su Yin could think of was that Zhou Yiyang took advantage of his privilege through his status and position.
"Well, to be honest," Zhou Yiyang smiled, "the owner of this store is Lao Huang."
"Mr. Huang from the film and television city?" Su Yin was really shocked this time.
"Yeah, he said that Lao Ning and I have a thriving side business, so he wanted to do it too. Then he said that the restaurant industry has been making money in recent years, so he opened this shop. However, he was worried that the shop would be too busy and that things would bother him, so he came up with these rules. After all, he's not short of money."
Su Yin looked helpless and motioned Zhou Yiyang to continue, "So, Brother Yang, you went to Mr. Huang and got some special privileges?"
"This is brotherhood." At this time, Mr. Huang came over with two bottles of red wine worth six figures: "Dedicated to my favorite actress, Miss Su!"
Su Yin laughed out loud: "Mr. Huang, you've gained some weight recently, and you look more energetic."
"Yeah, I'm in a good mood." Mr. Huang put down the wine and left. "I won't disturb you two from chatting."
Zhou Yiyang saw Old Huang winking at him and immediately said seriously, "Don't joke around. I'm not talking about anything shameful. If you want to listen, just sit down."
Old Huang hummed, but he glanced out the window as he left. After entering the kitchen, he whispered a few words to his secretary.
