The leisure trade, this glamorous place, as most individuals inside and out of doors the trade know, was full of all types of dust and superficiality. Many younger individuals had been conscious of what goes on on this circle, but they nonetheless wholeheartedly pursue it.

The rationale was easy: they need to stand below the highlight, to benefit from the envious gazes and adoration of others. It is comprehensible; cash and fame will all the time be the first objectives for many atypical individuals.

However what number of younger individuals who aspire to be actors actually love the occupation itself, fairly than the fabric and self-importance it brings within the highlight?

When Yu Weiguang initially selected to check directing and later entered the movie trade, his love was real, as was his want for fame and fortune. He hoped that his works can be acknowledged by the general public, even when a few years later, after he had handed away, his movies would nonetheless be remembered by future generations.

He wasn’t stunned that Tune Yan additionally hunted for fame and fortune, however he was stunned that he requested about it now.

If this youngster initially selected to turn out to be an actor for the sake of fame and materials possessions, then he ought to have readily accepted Yu Weiguang’s provide when he first approached him.

Yu Weiguang did not ask for his causes; he solely advised Tune Yan:

“Appearing is a occupation that locations nice emphasis on innate qualities. This occupation can legitimately depend on appearances to make a dwelling. You already possess higher innate qualities than most individuals. However, youngster, if you wish to benefit from the status it brings, you could have the power to grab it. Whether or not you may succeed and earn some huge cash, I am unable to assure that in the mean time. It is determined by you.”

Over time, Yu Weiguang has shared this recommendation with many newcomers whom he personally found and gave alternatives to look on the display screen.

Immediately, he repeated these phrases to Wen Li.

“Solely Ah Yan actually grasped it,” Yu Weiguang mentioned, “No matter his preliminary motivations for coming into this circle, I’m glad he grew to become an actor. He lived as much as my expectations and his personal.”

Throughout the promotion of their film in China, there have been numerous media studies. Tune Yan was not and infrequently went on-line to learn them. At first, Yu Weiguang thought it was as a result of he was new to the trade and could not deal with seeing unfavourable feedback about himself on-line. In spite of everything, regardless of how good a film was, there would all the time be reward and criticism.

However later, [Paper Airplane] grew to become an enormous field workplace success, sweeping your complete East Asian movie and tv trade. Optimistic evaluations flooded in from worldwide web sites in numerous languages. Tune Yan did not care concerning the home suggestions and as an alternative went over the to the worldwide web sites to learn their feedback and evaluations.

Yu Weiguang could not perceive why Tune Yan cared a lot concerning the opinions of these international fangirls. They weren’t skilled movie critics and he did not know why Tune Yan hooked up a lot significance to them.

He teased Tune Yan, saying, “You might have large ambitions. You have simply taken your first step within the home market, now already you need to broaden abroad.”

However Tune Yan, with a seemingly unrelated response, mentioned, “However I am unable to sing or dance.”

At the moment, idol teams from abroad had been significantly standard, and plenty of children appreciated them. They had been like fanatics. Speaking about this, Yu Weiguang curled his lip in disdain, “It is advantageous for ladies. However these boys, with their lengthy, brightly coloured hair, what do they even appear to be? Fortuitously, I persuaded him to turn out to be an actor.”

Confronted with Yu Weiguang’s disdain, Wen Li compelled fun, not daring to say that she herself was as soon as a fan of these abroad idol teams when she was in her teenagers.

She even made it her purpose and eagerly went overseas to turn out to be a trainee.

Once they had been younger, they did not have many mature ideas. They had been harmless and optimistic, daring to struggle with unwavering braveness for that beam of sunshine that they might by no means have the ability to grasp.

Eighteen-year-old Tune Yan, who appeared like a great scholar, turned out to be a fan of idols.

Their pursuits had been so related.

Wen Li acquired to find out about Tune Yan’s unknown darkish historical past from Yu Weiguang.

Yu Weiguang defined it intimately, however what Wen Li actually wished to ask was about Tang Jiaren and Tune Yan’s filming, however earlier than he may say it, Tune Yan got here on the lookout for them as a result of that they had been exterior for too lengthy and the meals was already served.

Tune Yan noticed his trainer and spouse standing collectively and speaking about him. He simply merely sighed and walked over to name them in to eat.

“The meals is served?” Yu Weiguang sighed, “I could not maintain my mouth shut when reminiscing about you along with your spouse. Mrs. Tune, We’ll proceed our dialog subsequent time, let’s return.”

Seeing that they could not get to the principle, Wen Li felt considerably upset however nonetheless nodded, “En.”

So the three of them walked again, with Yu Weiguang within the entrance. Tune Yan deliberately slowed his tempo and walked beside Wen Li, casually asking, “What did the trainer let you know?”

Wen Li pursed her lips and mentioned, “Your darkish historical past.”

Tune Yan frowned, unable to recall any darkish historical past of his personal.

Once they returned to the personal room, the tea tray had been eliminated, and a number of other dishes had been already served. Qiu Ping instantly raised his glass, urging others to cheer and make Yu Weiguang drink a penalty cup.

Yu Weiguang drank it readily, after which a number of males checked out Wen Li.

It wasn’t that they had been afraid to influence Wen Li to drink, however as a result of her husband was right here, they needed to give her some face.

Little did they know, Wen Li was additionally easygoing and mentioned she would drink. She knew it was a type of socializing. If she relied on Tune Yan, it might make them suppose that she, as Tune Yan’s spouse, lacked generosity. Moreover, immediately she wasn’t the accompanying member of the family of Tune Yan, Tune Yan was her accompanying member of the family. This was her territory for socializing, so she should not keep away from ingesting.

“All of you current are my seniors, and I sincerely hope to have the chance to collaborate. Let me take the initiative to thanks all prematurely on your care sooner or later.”

She raised her glass, smiling generously and naturally. Tune Yan was right here, anyway, if she acquired drunk, he would deal with her, so she wasn’t afraid of ingesting an excessive amount of. Her angle was extra simple, and the large pictures on the desk had been happier.

Nobody would dislike an open and simple fairly lady on the dinner desk. These large pictures had been within the trade for a few years. Their attitudes in the direction of girls of various statuses all the time differed. The ladies they privately saved and the ladies they interacted with on the dinner desk had been naturally totally different. In order that they handled Wen Li effectively, did not drive her to drink an excessive amount of, and even requested Tune Yan to assist her drink a bit.

Tune Yan did need to assist her drink, however Wen Li pressed down his hand.

She whispered to him, “I actually need to get this function, so do not assist me, let me deal with it myself.”

“Your face is already purple,” Tune Yan checked out her barely tipsy face and sighed, “I will have a couple of drinks for you.”

Nevertheless, Wen Li insisted on not letting him drink for her.

“Are you silly? You are a person. When you begin accepting drinks, do not anticipate to go house sober tonight. You will find yourself with a perforated abdomen. I am a girl, if I am unable to drink anymore, I can nonetheless act cute and pitiful. They will not really feel embarrassed to let me cease ingesting.”

Tune Yan had no phrases.

It was the primary time a lady may communicate so confidently and immediately concerning the misbehavior on the dinner desk.

However the ingesting tradition was by no means a standard advantage. Some individuals appreciated to influence others to drink, whereas others knew the best way to counter it.

“If I get drunk later, you need to deal with me and serve me. That is your responsibility as a husband,” Wen Li pouted once more, him with glowing eyes, “For those who’re additionally drunk, what use are you to me?”

She was fairly the feminist.

Tune Yan nodded, “Okay, I’ll.”

They whispered to one another, whereas the others on the desk urged, “Tune Yan, be a person and take some duty. We’ll look down on you in case your spouse takes the lead.”

“Elders, I apologize, however I’ll take the lead,” Wen Li laughed twice, with a tipsy tone, arrogantly and humorously saying, “Immediately, it is not about Tune Yan and Tune Yan’s spouse. It is about Wen Li and Wen Li’s husband. I’ve acquired my husband’s again. No matter occurs, come at me.”

Everybody was surprised. It was Yu Weiguang who burst into laughter first.

“Ah Yan! How will you be somebody’s husband and nonetheless have your spouse again you up!”

Even Qiu Ping joined within the teasing, “When your spouse wasn’t right here, nobody had your again. Now that she’s right here, how does it really feel to be just a little man?”

Tune Yan chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “I am having fun with it.”

Everybody burst into laughter.

Qiu Ping raised his glass to Wen Li, “Miss Wen, I will drink this glass for you, I will not be informal anymore.”

Wen Li raised her glass with a critical tone, “Since you have already stopped being informal, I am unable to be informal both.”

Qiu Ping was momentarily stunned. She had lastly damaged the cool and aloof picture she had maintained since they met in Yucheng. She returned to her traditional self when she was with acquaintances and pals, laughing and nodding, “Okay, okay, I will comply with your lead, whether or not I drink or not.”

Laughter and pleasure stuffed the desk. Tune Yan watched his spouse confidently and gracefully socialize with the individuals on the desk, with out even needing his presence.

He had come immediately, initially anxious that she would really feel uncomfortable, however little did he know she did not want him in any respect. His function was merely to attend for the meal to complete, for her socializing to finish, after which dutifully step ahead as a husband, taking her house and caring for her as she sobered up.

——

The meal lasted for practically three hours.

Earlier than leaving, Director Qiu mentioned to Wen Li, “Take it simple through the audition in a few days. Your pure state is already similar to Ye Yan.”

Wen Li stood upright and saluted, saying, “Sure, sir!”

Director Qiu laughed so onerous that he hiccuped, “It is a Republican-era drama, not a cop movie.” Then he patted Tune Yan’s shoulder and mentioned whereas hiccuping, “Your spouse is de facto attention-grabbing.”

With such an analysis from Director Qiu, even when Wen Li could not get the function, it was probably that she can be given extra consideration for good scripts sooner or later based mostly on her private allure.

Whether or not she may get this function nonetheless trusted Wen Li herself.

Yu Weiguang nonetheless hoped that Ah Yan’s spouse may get the function, so he took the chance whereas chatting with Qiu Ping and Tune Yan to mysteriously pull Wen Li apart and provides her some literal steering.

“An in depth-up shot on the large display screen is a really actual factor. It is not sufficient to simply have a face. If there’s nothing in your eyes, the viewers will see a fairly wood doll. Director Qiu values expressive eyes in performing. When auditioning, think about that there is somebody in entrance of you, somebody you like or hate. In any case, immerse your self in essentially the most real feelings and do not attempt to deceive him with performing strategies.”

After saying that, Yu Weiguang smiled proudly and mentioned, “Even Ah Yan wasn’t good at expressing feelings by his eyes first. It was solely after I advised him this technique that he had an epiphany.”

At this second, Qiu Ping shouted to them, “Previous Yu! Let’s go! The motive force is right here. For those who do not come, you may need to take a taxi your self!”

Yu Weiguang replied loudly, “Coming, coming.”

Because the director left, the automotive that was selecting up Tune Yan and Wen Li additionally arrived.

Once they got here to have the meal, it was Tune Yan’s supervisor, Ke Bin, who had introduced them. Ke Bin waited till Tune Yan referred to as him to select them up and determined to tell Wen Li’s supervisor, Lu Dan, to return alongside as effectively.

Lu Dan thought that the meal was already over, and whether or not it succeeded or not trusted Wen Li herself. So she got here with Ke Bin and took the chance to ask concerning the consequence.

As quickly as the 2 managers acquired out of the automotive, they noticed Tune Yan, who confirmed no indicators of being drunk, was supporting Wen Li, who was visibly intoxicated.

She greeted the managers with an enthralling smile, “Hey, Brother Bin, Sister Dan.”

“…” Ke Bin checked out Tune Yan as if he had seen a ghost, “What is going on on? Your spouse is drunk, and you are not? When did your alcohol tolerance turn out to be so good?”

“I did not drink a lot,” Tune Yan mentioned, “She was caring for me immediately.”

Ke Bin thought he misheard, however the subsequent second, Wen Li instantly raised her head proudly, snorted, and confidently requested, “I am the one caring for him! Am I superior or not?”

Ke Bin, who did not have a lot contact with Wen Li and did not perceive her true persona, appeared puzzled.

Lu Dan knew her artist too effectively and instantly flattered Wen Li, “You are superior, actually superior.”

Wen Li was glad and nodded, “En.”

Lu Dan sighed and determined to assist Tune Yan help Wen Li into the automotive.

Along with her eyes tightly closed, Wen Li instantly grew to become irritable as her cellphone in her bag began ringing. She instantly threw the bag on the bottom in annoyance, saying, “It is so annoying!”

The cellphone appeared to sense its proprietor’s anger and fell silent.

Lu Dan sneered, “This bag is restricted version and is already out of manufacturing. You will remorse it while you sober up.”

Wen Li additionally sneered, “I am so wealthy. How may I be upset over only a bag?”

“…”

Ke Bin, the one one with each arms free, picked up the bag for Wen Li. However as quickly as he did, the cellphone rang once more. He merely handed the bag to Tune Yan and mentioned, “Reply your spouse’s name.”

Tune Yan requested Ke Bin to assist help Wen Li, took out the cellphone from her bag, and appeared on the caller ID.

[Cold-hearted Capitalist]

He frowned, questioning who it was. Unsure, he answered the decision with out talking, however the voice on the opposite finish, as chilly as an icy blade, started accusing, “Wen Li, you have acquired some nerve. You took so lengthy to reply my name.”

Tune Yan acknowledged the voice. It was Wen Yan, her uncle.

He calmly mentioned, “That is Tune Yan.”

There was a couple of seconds of silence on the cellphone, then the identical icy tone, resembling an interrogator, continued, “I heard from Wen Zheng that you just had been having dinner at his restaurant. Have you ever left?”

Tune Yan replied, “Sure, we have left.”

At that second, Wen Yan’s black Bentley had simply entered the VIP parking zone. The motive force turned a nook and occurred to see the nanny automotive, Tune Yan standing subsequent to it, and his niece who was so drunk she may barely stand, needing two individuals to help her as they acquired into the automotive.

“So what I am seeing within the parking zone now’s your twin?” Wen Yan sneered, “After understanding you for thus a few years, how come I by no means knew that Younger Grasp Tune had a twin brother?”

Wen Yan hung up the cellphone, acquired out of the automotive, and walked in the direction of Tune Yan.

A poker-faced man in a tailor-made go well with was strolling in the direction of them. Each managers felt that this man appeared considerably acquainted, however Ke Bin had a greater reminiscence and murmured, “Is not this Xingyi Gr——”

“You guys wait within the automotive.”

After giving the directions, Tune Yan additionally walked in the direction of Wen Yan.

The 2 managers helped the barely-conscious Wen Li into the automotive and adopted go well with. Sitting inside, they exchanged bewildered glances after closing the door.

Lu Dan requested, “That was President Wen from Xingyi Group, proper?”

Ke Bin nodded, “Sure, he got here to our firm for a gathering with President Bai as soon as. I’ve seen him.”

With the affirmation of the id of this poker-faced, chilly man, the 2 managers grew to become much more perplexed.

Not lengthy after, Wen Li, who had her eyes closed within the again seat, instantly awakened. Her voice was thick with the scent of alcohol as she hoarsely requested, “The place’s Tune Yan?”

“You are awake? President Wen from Xingyi Group simply got here to search out him. He went to speak with him,” Ke Bin replied.

Wen Li sat up straight, fully sober now, with a flicker of fireplace in her eyes. “It is advantageous if different girls like my husband, however even that heartless man dares to covet my husband!”

“…”

“…”

The 2 managers indicated that they did not perceive, however Wen Li had already gotten out of the automotive by then.

“I will go and convey him again! This untrue man!”

——

Tune Yan acquired into Wen Yan’s automotive, and as quickly as he closed the door, he heard accusing phrases from Wen Yan, “You had been socializing with Wen Li let her get drunk; Younger Grasp Tune, is that this the way you deal with my niece?”

“She was anxious about me and did not let me drink,” Tune Yan replied.

Wen Yan could not imagine that Tune Yan would say such a factor. He turned his head to have a look at him incredulously and requested, “She was anxious about you?”

“Sure.”

“What sort of dream are you dwelling in, Younger Grasp Tune?” Wen Yan raised his eyebrows, his tone mocking, “She solely causes fear for others, does she even know the best way to care for somebody?”

Tune Yan smiled faintly and calmly mentioned, “Mr. Wen, you have by no means skilled your niece caring for you. It is best to not make such assumptions.”

Wen Yan’s expression froze.

“You, a person, anticipate my niece to look after you. How audacious,” Wen Yan sneered.

“Is not that how {couples} are? What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Tune Yan paused for a second and mentioned, “I forgot, Mr. Wen, you are still single and do not perceive this stuff. My apologies.”

“What are you bragging about?” Wen Yan smirked, his voice chilly, “Do you anticipate me, Younger Grasp Tune, to congratulate you for lastly utilizing true like to defeat me, the feudal patriarch who interfered in your relationship?”

Tune Yan’s voice additionally grew colder, displaying no respect as he mentioned, “No want, your congratulations imply nothing to me.”

Wen Yan took a deep breath, not thinking about partaking on this meaningless debate. He spoke immediately, “I referred to as Wen Li a number of occasions earlier, asking her to return house for dinner. She had time to socialize, however had no time to return house and have a meal along with her household. Now that she’s drunk like this, I am unable to motive along with her. Please inform her for me, if she does not come house after I ask her subsequent time, then she ought to by no means come again.”

Tune Yan frowned and instinctively defined for Wen Li, “She’s busy with work, that is why she could not return.”

Wen Yan chuckled, “Do you suppose I am unable to afford to help her?”

“She does not want you to help her.”

“She might not want it, however Younger Grasp Tune, you do,” Wen Yan laughed frivolously, his expression proud, with a touch of mockery in his eyes. “My father generously supported you to check right here in Yancheng out of goodwill and his friendship along with your father. However as an alternative of displaying gratitude, you took away his granddaughter.”

After saying that, Wen Yan tidied a nonexistent speck of mud from his cuff.

Wen Yan’s sister handed away early, and his brother-in-law, burdened by the lack of his spouse, uncared for the 2 youngsters. Wen Li was taken to her grandfather’s home, however her grandmother had additionally handed away. On this family stuffed with males, Wen Li was the one lady. Her grandfather did not know the best way to deal with his granddaughter, and her uncles, Wen Yan and Wen Zheng, additionally did not know the best way to deal with their niece both. They offered the requirements, materials indulgence, and even some behavioral leniency, however nobody taught her tenderness. She was prickly throughout, spoiled, and had an especially awkward persona. Objectively talking, other than her look, she had many flaws.

Moreover her household, who else would have the ability to tolerate her like this? Wen Yan did not suppose Tune Yan had that type of persistence. He, too, got here from a privileged background, raised with individuals serving him. How may he stand up to Wen Li?

“I will not say a lot else. What’s accomplished is completed. It doesn’t matter what your function was for marrying my niece, take excellent care of her as an alternative of anticipating her to look after you,” Wen Yan admonished sternly.

As quickly as he completed talking, the automotive door was instantly opened from the skin, startling the motive force and the 2 males within the again seat.

Wen Yan was about to reprimand the particular person exterior when the particular person bent all the way down to look inside and shouted, “Tune Yan! You are weren’t there to take care of me, however you are right here speaking secretly with one other man!”

Wen Yan was infuriated by the time period “one other man”.

“Wen Li!”

“Uncle, you have been a single previous bachelor for over thirty years. Moreover your face, which is nugatory, no girl finds you enticing. Now you are making an attempt to covet my man?” Wen Li, with none reverence for her drunk state, pressed on her uncle’s sore spot after which grabbed Tune Yan’s arm, “Come out shortly. Am I no more charming than this previous bachelor?”

“You are itching for bother, aren’t you?”

“You probably have the heart, hit me. For those who dare contact me, I will report you for harassment!”

Wen Yan was so infuriated his respiration virtually stopped. With a stern patriarchal expression, he rebuked her sharply, “Take heed to the nonsense you are spouting! You are actually hopeless.”

“It is you who’s critically hopeless. That is why you may’t discover a girl for your self.”

Wen Li dragged Tune Yan out, forcefully closed the automotive door, and rescued her “lovely man” from the clutches of her devilish uncle. Proudly, she walked along with her man towards her personal automotive.

Again within the automotive, Wen Li hugged Tune Yan’s waist, as if she dominated the world whereas holding her beloved in her arms. With a domineering angle, she ordered the supervisor within the entrance seat, “Drive.”

Instinctively, Ke Bin responded, “Okay.”

The automotive left the parking zone. Lu Dan could not assist however secretly observe the intoxicated girl within the rearview mirror.

Wen Li was interrogating Tune Yan.

“Why did you throw your self into one other man’s automotive? What had been you doing while you left me and went to speak secretly with another person?” she scolded Tune Yan, not caring about her drunkenness.

“I simply exchanged a couple of phrases, that is all,” Tune Yan replied calmly.

Wen Li nodded, “I do know, I do not anticipate you to do the rest,” then she frowned, discontented, and mentioned, “What about Tang Jiaren?”

Tune Yan could not sustain along with her prepare of thought for a second, from Wen Yan to Tang Jiaren. He sounded confused, “What?”

She stared at him immediately, burped first, then contemplated for some time earlier than informing him in a matter-of-fact tone, “I am jealous.”

The 2 managers within the entrance seat unconsciously perked up their ears.

Tune Yan was caught off guard by her simple phrases and checked out her blankly.

Then, with a really conceited angle, Wen Li mentioned to Tune Yan, “However you may’t suppose that I am being unreasonable as a result of that is how I present my liking for you. If I did not such as you, I would not trouble getting jealous. Do you perceive?”

Lu Dan secretly thought to herself, her artist’s mood was tough to cope with. She knew she was being unreasonable, however she nonetheless acted like a boss. Superb.

However Tune Yan actually handled her like a boss. There was a smile in his eyes as he nodded and mentioned, “Sure, I perceive.”

Wen Li nodded in satisfaction after which raised her head arrogantly, her tone haughty, “Because you perceive, then shortly appease me. You’ll be able to’t make me offended as a result of I such as you. Now, please, coax me shortly.”
