After leaving the hospital, Zhou Yiyang walked aimlessly on the streets of Melbourne.
Soon he received several calls, all from Zhang Yingyuan's original actors.
Except for Helian Bei, several other leading actors chose to withdraw.
Zhou Yiyang wasn't surprised and respected their decision. After all, these actors did have their own aspirations, so it was normal for them not to believe in themselves.
Besides, telling him now is better than disappearing after filming starts. At least Zhou Yiyang still has plenty of time to find a new actor.
"It doesn't matter," Zhou Yiyang said as he unknowingly walked into a bar. Fortunately, it was a quiet place, not too noisy. "I still feel a little regretful. Well, it's like I'm being disdained. As expected, in the eyes of most people, I'm just a commercial film director."
Zhou Yiyang ordered a glass of wine and sat at the bar alone, drinking it slowly.
He found that being in a foreign country had its advantages. At least he didn't have to worry about being recognized all the time.
Yes, he has to be careful when going out now. If he is recognized, he will still be stared at crazily, as if he is a panda.
However, here, Zhou Yiyang didn't have to worry about such things at all. Anyway, he didn't know anyone in Australia.
It feels great to be able to drink freely without being disturbed.
I don’t know what the current situation is in the country.
Zhou Yiyang took the opportunity to open their circle of friends.
…
Tang Yue hugged her phone excitedly and yelled, "Oh my God, we broke the record!"
"Broken another record?" Lin Xuan'er had become much more relaxed about breaking records. Since their debut, the four of them had broken at least dozens of records.
"Yeah," Tang Yue subconsciously turned around and realized that the only person who could share her joy was Lin Xuan'er. Wang Xingrui had already left for Xiangcheng, and Su Yin was still on set. "Harper's Bazaar is promoting it so heavily this time. You can see it on any app. The first-day sales of today's special issue have undoubtedly broken records!"
"Not bad!" Lin Xuan'er wasn't too excited. Their lineup was already impressive, so breaking the record wasn't entirely surprising. "We kind of broke a record."
"I thought so at first, too." Tang Yue swiped the screen vigorously. "But then I read some articles by a few fashion bloggers. They're all very professional and probably didn't take any money. They all spoke highly of the four of us, saying that we weren't suppressed at all. Instead, we used our strengths to attract attention."
"Really?" Lin Xuan'er leaned against Tang Yue tightly, their long hair tangled together, and they could smell each other's faint shampoo scent. "But the finished product is indeed eye-catching."
"Yes, the editor-in-chief is really good at taking photos." Tang Yue, like a child showing off her toys, twinkled her eyes and whispered in Lin Xuan'er's ear, "Xuan'er, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. I just received an invitation from a very talented independent designer, hoping that I can wear his clothes to an event. This is my world debut!"
Lin Xuan'er was genuinely happy for Tang Yue, as her performance at the Shanghai Fashion Week was indeed noticed by others.
"As expected of our Tangtang, so awesome!"
"So, Xuan'er, when are you going to record the show? I can't wait to see you make all the venomous comments as a mentor!"
"You're overthinking it," Lin Xuan'er dotingly poked Tang Yue's forehead with her finger. "You're the one with the sharp tongue, and I can't bring myself to say anything! I should stick to the professional commentary route!"
"That's not bad either," Tang Yue said with a silly grin, "Everyone will definitely be impressed by the professionalism of our Professor Lin!"
"I'll practice a new song for a while," Lin Xuan'er grabbed Tang Yue's hand. "Listen carefully and point out my mistakes. Be a little sharp-tongued!"
"no problem!"
…
On the set, Yang Ping was indeed the same as all the directors. When they stood behind the camera, they completely changed.
Suyin calls it the director's volatile territory.
"I really like Director Zhou's idea," Yang Ping said loudly through a megaphone, his voice echoing across the set. "But everyone, you're all famous actors, why are you acting so awkwardly? Don't you know how to speak if there's no dialogue planned for you?"
Wang Shuyuan whispered in Su Yin's ear, "Director Yang is good in every way, except that he drools too much. Director Zhou needs to be more careful."
"Yeah." Su Yin nodded, trying hard to hold back her laughter so as not to be caught as an example.
"Teacher Fang, it's true that you're a professor at the Film Academy, but you speak so elegantly. No one speaks like that in real life. It's unnatural, absolutely unnatural! I hope you won't let Director Zhou down!"
After Yang Ping went to drink water, Su Yin finally spoke: "As expected, taking over someone else's project is very stressful for any director."
Although Zhang Yingyuan's affairs were not made public, Wang Shuyuan's connections naturally knew about it.
She consoled him, "Mr. Zhou is fine. After all, the film he took over hasn't started shooting yet."
"Yeah," Su Yin nodded, lowering her head to continue reading the script: "Brother Yang, you don't need me to worry. I'd better think more about how to act! Don't let Brother Yang down!"
"As the boss, he must be very good to you, right?" Wang Shuyuan suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"That's right." Su Yin said calmly, "From the beginning to the end, Brother Yang never treated us as a tool to make money. He treated us like family."
"Family..." Wang Shuyuan didn't know what she was thinking about, and she was quite envious. "That's great. No wonder you care about him so much. With a boss like this, being an artist can be more worry-free."
Su Yin didn't ask any more questions. As a fan of Wang Shuyuan, she naturally knew her story.
She and Yu Lina used to belong to Hongtao Entertainment, and were fondly called the Hongtao Twins.
However, at an awards ceremony later, Hongtao Entertainment chose to publicize the Best Actress award for Yu Lina, sacrificing Wang Shuyuan.
Since then, Wang Shuyuan followed Milan's example and went out on her own.
She must be very envious of Yue Shao's friendship and Zhou Yi Yang's character.
"But sometimes you feel he's quite nagging, and that's a compliment." Su Yin laughed. "Brother Yang thinks about us, the other artists in the company, and his friends all day long, and often neglects himself. So we all hope to become more famous so that Brother Yang can have an easier time."
"That's great." Wang Shuyuan said enviously, "I'm still filming in this industry, but sometimes I feel confused. Why should I continue? What you said today really woke me up."
…
"Have you ever seen Xiangcheng at three in the morning?"
Wang Xingrui has seen it.
She was so into rehearsal that she fainted.
