 The movie lineup for the first day of the spring festival was lined up with a lot of blockbusters. A lot of critics predicted a bloodbath between each production. 
Among the lineup for the first day of the spring festival were INTERMISSION directed and produced by Director Ma, BLACKSPOT produced by Star entertainment and Phoenix entertainment and directed by Directo Wang, THE PACKAGE produced by Velocity holdings and directed by Director Antonio Hsu, and dark comedy EDGE OF THE EARTH produced by Lint tv and wow pictures and directed by Director Zhang.
The lineup was filled with many heavy hitters in the industry with THE PACKAGE being the only production from a relatively new production company. Critics had very low expectations of THE PACKAGE because not only was the production company new in the industry, the cast of the movie had a relatively small fan base.
This was why the turn up for the movie during the first showing of the movie was low. Most people bought tickets to pass time while waiting for other movies scheduled to premiere in theaters after THE PACKAGE.
The post-Apocalypse movie THE PACKAGE premiered in all theaters around the country On the first day of the new year. The first showing of the Package was held at 8 am. 
The package was the first movie slated to premiere that day. It was given this slot by cinema owners to act as a warm-up for the other high-demand movies.
At 8 am there were few people in the cinema as most people waited for the next showing at 10 am. All of the viewers present in the theater at that time went in skeptically but came out utterly amazed by the quality of the movie and the spectacular acting of the entire cast down to the extra.
Liu Qiao Qiao, Liu Qinyang, and her brother Liu Qiqiang we're among the first set of spectators in the theaters. Liu Qinyang and Liu Qiqiang escorted Liu Qiao Qiao to view her movie as show support among siblings.
Liu Qiqiang, a decorated navy captain, went in for the movie without much expectation because of how many times most productions failed to properly portray the military system.
Most productions failed to do the proper research necessary and ended up with a half baked finished product that was only good image-wise and nonsensical 
However, that wasn't the case with The package. Not only was the military system, tactics, and skills well portrayed the plot was vet refreshing. Liu Qiqiang was so amazed by his sister's performance all through the movie. 
The Package was very action-packed and interesting. Liu Qiqiang immediately decided to come back with his army brothers. The package was a movie worth re-watching multiple times.
If Liu Qiqiang a hardened military man was so impressed by the package one can only imagine how Liu Qinyang an action flick fan. As everyone exited the theater at the end of the movie, Liu Qinyang couldn't help but take a photo of herself standing in front of the enlarged poster for The package.
Liu Qinyang snapped a photo of her movie ticket which she uploaded on her official weibo page together with the picture of her standing in front of the enlarged poster for the package. 
Liu Qinyang uploaded the pictures with the caption "started the new year with a great movie. The package was so interesting. It was total with the watch. Congratulations big sis on your movie premiere" #THEPACKAGE. #A MOST MEMORABLE WATCH.
Liu Qinyang was one of the major online influencers with over fifty million followers. In just an hour since she had uploaded the post, she post-receive over ten million likes and reposts.
The interest of most netizens was spiked by her post that they began visiting the cinema to check out the movie. Each netizen went home impressed by the acting and plot. Before long #The package became to most searched keyword on the internet.

Articles compared the cinema-quality and acting of the package to other movies that premiered at the same time. The package was so good that it surpassed other big-budget production.
The director and the cast of the package received a lot of praise from critics. Most of the critics were surprised at the thorough research carried out by the director and Scriptwriter. 
Everyone involved in the production received a rise in popularity. The rise in popularity also led to a few disadvantages as a few netizens began to accuse the production of using stunt doubles for all the action scenes.
A lot of fans began to clamor for behind-the-scenes footage. The director Antonio Hsu had expected something similar to this and was already prepared for this. 
The production team immediately released behind-the-scenes footage of each action scene. Footage from the practices sessions of the casts and the stunt director was also released.
Thoroughly shutting down the rumors and also increasing the popularity of the movie as netizens were impressed by all the work put into the production of the package.
Liu Qiao Qiao received a lot of praise for her performance. Most fans had speculated that Liu Qiao Qiao won't dare perform her stunt scenes because he heard the stunts in the package weren't the behind-the-scenes videos that proved them wrong. 
It completely changed people's outlook on Liu Qiao Qiao. Directors and producers in the industry began to see her as a real actress and not an idol.

Director Ma's studio
Director Ma walked into her corner office and took a seat at her desk. She had just come back from the last showing of the package at Xiao's Cinema for the day.
She had decided to check out what all the fuss was about after three days of reading numerous positive reviews for the package. She could scarcely believe that a movie from a relatively new company like Vibe pictures would surpass one of her best projects yet.
Director Ma had blindly believed that the success of the package was fabricated by the parent company of Vibe pictures, velocity holding. She had underrated the package because of how fresh the director and casts were. 
The director Antonio Hsu was a fresh graduate of a popular film school in Berlin. Even though he was proclaimed a protegee by professors in the film school she hadn't paid him much attention because he didn't have any work to prove that.
The package was making a blast in the cinema with ticket sales skyrocketing by the day. In just three days of premiering in theaters the package made over 200 million Rmb in stock sales.
Although the numbers were so impressive, it was the post by popular movie critics Red blur master that got her interests. The critics Red blur masters was a very popular movie critic who gave unbiased reviews of movies and tv series.
Director Ma trusted Red Blur masters review so she had been surprised when red blur masters released a post praising THE PACKAGE. 
The reviewer had compared THE PACKAGE to all the other movies showing in the theater and a meter the comparison he proclaimed the package as "a refreshing and memorable watch".
After reading the post Director Ma bought a ticker and went out to each of the movies. At the end of the two hours showing her view of the movie improved. The director and cast had put in their best to give their best performance yet.
Director Ma was impressed by Liu Qiao Qiao's performance, she checked out the behind-the-scenes footage. As she watched the behind the scene videos Director Ma thought
"if Liu Qiao Qiao could put in this much effort in a movie for a small company then maybe I was wrong in my judgment of her"
Twenty behind-the-scenes stunt videos later, Director Ma picked up her phone and dialed Shi Xiaotong's number.

Meanwhile back at Shi Xiaotong's office in Baiyu Studios.
Shi Xiaotong was seated in her office quietly settling Liu Qiao Qiao's schedule for the new year when her office door was suddenly pushed open and her assistant rushed In with a tablet in her hands.

Movie 'Revenge' was to be released in the first week of October but then, Su Yuchen decided to change the dates to the first week of November, to the date when he married Xin Mei, to their first anniversary.
It was simple thought which had crossed his mind and he decided that Revenge would be released on their first anniversary only.
Xin Mei was very surprised when she heard him. She was very happy that the movie which was close to the heart of Su Yuchen would be released on their anniversary. Also, that way they got more time to promote the movie.
Director Zhang and the production team were very happy with this decision of Su Yuchen. In this way, they got more time to do some production work of the movie with perfection.
In the middle of September, a poster of Revenge movie was released and it was liked by many citizens. It became the most liked poster of the country A film industry.
Director Zhang had smartly decided the poster which was released first. The poster had a photo of every main cast, as to not dissatisfy the fans.
Soon after, many more posters of the movie were released, a poster where Su Zixin was climbed on the horse with a sword in his hand and Xin Mei was standing at the feet of the horse and was firing arrows.
A poster where Xin Mei was leaving the kingdom of emperor Kai and was looking ahead with revenge written in her eyes. A poster where Xin Mei and Su Zixin were getting intimate with one another. A poster where Zhou Mingyu and Tang Min were sitting on the throne.
Every poster got many positive reviews which boosted the confidence of the Revenge team. Su Yuchen was also happy with the response which they received. He wanted Revenge to become an iconic movie.
After a week, a ten-second teaser of the movie was released. The teaser had a glimpse of every cast member. It again created curiosity among the fans. Citizens started to discuss the look and role of every character of the movie.
Seeing the curiosity amongst the citizens, it was decided that the trailer would be launched at a very mass level. 
A ballroom of a hotel was booked, every critics was invited as well as media. This all was done at the name of Su Yuchen. So, no one dared to deny the invitation.
**
"I, Su Yuchen welcomes you all to the launch of the trailer of 'Revenge.' I hope you all will enjoy watching it." Su Yuchen gave an opening speech and then signalled to the production team head, Yang Soujin, to play the trailer on the large projector.
Everyone held their breath when the lights of the screen were turned on. The cast who had not watched the trailer was also looking at the screen with many expectations.
Xin Mei was also among them. She looked at the screen without a blink of eyes and held on the hand of Su Zixin. He also squeezed her hand and looked ahead.
The trailer started to play on the screen with the entry of Su Zixin. He was riding on his horse and was killing the army of his enemy at the same time. Then was the entry of Xin Mei, she was also killing many soldiers, all this while, only the glimpse of her face was shown.
The trailer kept playing on the screen and everyone was looking at it without any blink of an eye. They could see romance, fight scenes, revenge filled scenes in a single two minutes trailer. The trailer was small, but it had created curiosity among the guests.
Once the trailer ended, one after other reviews stood up from their seats and started to clap. Reporters were also shocked and they started to clap. They were excited to follow Revenge.
**
After the trailer, the cast acted live on  some scenes from the movie for the reporters to record them. They also gave a small interview about their fun and experience during the movie.
All this while, Zhou Mingyu was kept side casted. Reporters were strictly advised to not ask her any question and Zhou Mingyu was also advised the same. No one wanted to harm Revenge due to her big mouth.
**
Later that night, Su Yuchen, Xin Mei and Su Zixin celebrated the successful launch of the trailer of revenge by drinking wine and eating grilled food.
Within four hours of the release, the trailer had reached millions of views, again breaking records of many movies which were released in the Country A film industry.
The reviews on the trailer were so good, especially about Xin Mei that it made her very happy. She realized she had finally made a place in the heart of citizens.
'Watched the trailer and its so good. Already watched it so many times and now I can't wait for the release of the movie.'
'I watched the trailer to criticize Xin Mei and praise Zhou Mingyu but now I will do the opposite. 
Oh my god! I cannot believe that she was Zhou Mingyu, the best actress. What had happened to her acting? She should learn something from Xin Mei. She is so good!'
'My laptop burnt after watching the trailer. It burnt due to the hot and sizzling chemistry of Chen Bai and Xin Mei.'
'I love you, Xin Mei, will you marry me? I am ready to leave my wife and kids for you.'
'Xin Mei dances so beautifully! Ah, I cannot wait for the dance scenes to get released. I am also waiting for the romantic song of Chen Bai and Xin Mei.'
'Can the release date of the movie be pre-pone? I can't wait to watch the full movie.'
The production team was also impressed with the response which they received. Under the supervision of Su Yuchen, they started to plan the strategy using which the movie was to be promoted.


"These are my conditions. You have to agree upon them before we can get married."

"Accepted. Each one of them is accepted. Any more conditions, soon to be wife?"

"Yes, I want your help to destroy my jerk of an ex-boyfriend."

A sly smile appeared on the lips of the men sitting opposite her. 

"With pleasure." How could he let his competitor stay unharmed? He would be having his own fun in destroying the man who had made him taste vinegar a lots of times.

"Something as?"

Before she could even shake her head, he stood up from his seat and held her hand. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"Civil affairs bureau. Any time later and it will be closed."

Xin Mei looked at the man with wide eyes, and before she could comprehend, she was sitting in civil affairs bureau with a marriage license in her hand.

****

Xin Mei woke up from coma after 3 weeks of long sleep. She faced a brutal reality like every other female lead; her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. Feeling vengeful, she decided to have her revenge.

It's payback time.

"She snatched my boyfriend; I will snatch her career from her." 

"He rejected me. No problem. I will find a more handsome man than him."

"His father made my father beg; now I will make him beg."

And who will help her? Su Yuchen!

Su Yuchen believed that a person can fall in love only once and he had already fallen in it. His belief was broken badly when he met Xin Mei. After tasting a lot of vinegar, he could not wait for another second to make her his wife. He could not lose his second inning in love.

Gu Weiwei and the main cast told the audience about their roles and afterwards, Fu Shiyi sang the theme song of the movie, "Awakening From the Dream", then the premiere started.
The movie lasted for a total of two hours, and the lights were turned on after the end credits had rolled.
The host stepped forward and asked the viewers, "Is our movie, Sleepless, good?"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
Gu Weiwei and the main cast returned to the stage and bowed to the audience.
The fans looked at the girl who was dressed in a simple gown. They were here to support her because they liked her acting and also because of what she had been through.
Therefore, not many people had high hopes for a movie that she had directed.
But after seeing it, they realized that their idol had never disappointed them.
Whether as a director or an actress, she truly showed her best.
It was well deserved that this movie was nominated for the Lugano Film Festival.
After the screening, Gu Weiwei and the rest of the main cast were asked questions by the media reporters and fans.
Due to the program of Dialogue the night before, she, who had been at a disadvantage, suddenly turned the tables around on Li Xing'er.
So almost all the questions were about her grudge with Li Xing'er.
"Mu Weiwei, you and Li Xing'er are half-sisters, why have you never mentioned it to anyone?"
Gu Weiwei smiled bitterly. "I don't think it is worth mentioning. I hope that everyone is paying attention to me because of who I am and my work, not because of anything else."
"Mu Weiwei, do you think that the car accident was an accident or planned?"
Gu Weiwei sighed and said, "First of all, thank you all for your concern, but today is the premiere of the movie, I hope that your further questions will be about the movie."
Some media outlets gave her face and stopped asking about it.
"Mu Weiwei, you have only made two movies, why do you want to be a director? Some people who have been in the industry for decades would never want to be a director!"
Gu Weiwei said, "Compared to being an actress, I wanted to be a director more. But I was not famous enough and neither did I have any movies to become a director from, so I became an actress first, so I can learn from the crew."
"Are you kidding me? You wanted to be an actress just to be a director?" Fu Shiyi complained.
The crowd burst into laughter and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
After the media interview, the audience started to leave.
Gu Weiwei greeted Cheng Yibai when she saw him.
"Mr. Cheng, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"I never expected that not only are you an excellent actress, but also an excellent director." Cheng Yibai excitedly shook hands with her.
At the beginning, he did not believe that her work would be nominated for the Lugano Film Festival.
It was not until he saw it for himself that he realized that she was indeed capable.
If he had not seen her entering the industry, he would not have believed that she was the director.
Whether it was the script or the shooting style, they were not inferior to the top directors.
She was even better at highlighting many details than them.
"I will become prideful if you praise me like that." Gu Weiwei smiled naughtily.
Cheng Yibai said, "You have the right to be proud."
This movie would definitely be the most influential work seen in the Chinese film industry, this year.
And she would become the legendary new director of the film industry.



Gu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Gu Family in A Land, is seriously injured during an attack. Her best friend, Ling Yan, who has been suffering from a heart disease, takes this opportunity to kill Gu Weiwei and snatches her heart for her own transplant surgery.
 Unexpectedly, however, Gu Weiwei is reborn and became Mu Weiwei, the adopted daughter of the most wealthy and powerful Fu Family in Hua Land and somehow ends up having a one-night-stand with the heir Fu Hanzheng. 
From that night on, strange things start to happen. Firstly, Fu Hanzheng, who has no interest in any women, especially not in the noisy young Mu Weiwei, suddenly falls for Mu Weiwei—who now has Gu Weiwei’s soul inside. 
Gu Weiwei decides to take this second chance of life as a precious opportunity to take revenge for both Mu Weiwei and for herself. 
Subsequently, Gu Weiwei uses her own talents and skills and becomes the most popular and beloved movie star in the entire world using Mu Weiwei’s body and successfully crushes all her enemies. 
Meanwhile, she gradually develops a lovely relationship with Fu Hanzheng, who is deeply devoted to her and only her.

"So let's not waste everybody's time and start interviewing the main cast of 'Shades of love' on their upcoming movie." the host smiled. "So let's start with Director Ye..." 

"So Director Ye what are your thoughts regarding the movie 'Shades of love'?" the host asked. 

"Shades of love is a very good film. It nicely depicts the various sides of love. Love is an emotion that cannot be described in a few words. It has different meanings for different people. For some people love can be possessive, but for some, it is all about sacrifices but then again for someone else, it can be different. And all these different shades of love are shown in our movie through a very beautiful story of two sisters who fell in love with the same person. I'm sure when the netizens see this movie, they will be going through a rollercoaster of emotions." 

"I'm intrigued." the host laughed. "Then Director Ye how about the cast? Did you face any difficulties while choosing the cast?" the host asked.

"Oh! Not at all..." Director Ye laughed. "I had already seen one movie of Yong and Roulan and I loved their chemistry, so I had already decided to cast them together. And for Xiaolu, all I can say is that she is a hidden gem. Working with her it will be a pleasure for any director and I'm 100% sure that she going to have great success in her career. "

"Yes, we all hope that Miss Li Xiaolu would have tremendous success in her career. " the host said. "So my next question is to Miss Li Xiaolu, Maam as this is your first movie, how was your experience? Were you nervous during the shoot?" 

Li Xiaolu gave a beautiful smile to the host as she replied, "I had a very wonderful experience while working with the whole team. Instead of being nervous I think I was damn excited to act." 

"That's wonderful to hear, Miss Xiaolu. " the host smiled. "What made you choose this film and what do you think about your character - the pyscho sister?" he asked.

"Umm... my manager Sister Yang Mi picked up the script for me and I instantly fell in love with the story I read. But what made me really choose the script was my character - Zhi Xing, the pyscho sister. The way that my character portrays itself throughout the whole movie is very exciting. I'm sure the netizens would love my character despite it being an antagonist role." 

"So did you have any trouble or difficulty while portraying such a hard character?" 

Li Xiaolu laughed, "No. Infact, it was an interesting character and I had too much fun while doing it." 

The host smiled, "Then I give all my best wished to Miss Li Xiaolu for her first film and I am sure that the netizens are going to love you." 

"They are going to love her." Sun Yong interjected. "Even I have turned into her fan," he said. For the next 10-15 minutes, he questioned Li Xiaolu and Sun Yong respectively regarding the movie or their characters. He also questioned Director Ye some questions regarding his upcoming projects. Till now all the questions which were asked were all related to the movie. 

Then by looking at the camera, the host smiled and said, "Now let's move on to our next segment and it's the most interesting one." 

"So guys in this segment, I am going to ask you some questions that the netizens want you to answer." The host informed. "So let's start with Mr. Sun Yong..."

"Ahh... Why me? I thought it was always ladies first..." Sun Yong joked but as he prepared himself for answering the questions.

"Mr. Sun Yong it's a hypothetical question. Suppose you are still single and you would have to choose a girlfriend between Miss Li Xiaolu and Miss Li Roulan. Who would you choose?" 

"Now that's an interview question..." Sun Yong said as he glanced at both Li Xiaolu and Li Roulan. "Hypothetically if I had to choose anyone between them, then I would choose Miss Xiaolu. Because if don't then I think the psycho sister will kill me for sure." Sun Yong joked. 

"Of course, Lui Wei don't forget you are mine. You can only love me..." Li Xiaolu said repeating a dialogue of their film. Everybody laughed except for Li Roulan. There was a smile on her face, but her heart was full of hatred. 

"The next question is for our beautiful Goddess Li. Miss Roulan recently everybody saw you getting engaged with Mr. Chen Yufan. So, when are we going to hear the wedding bells? " 

Li Roulan gave a beautiful smile towards the camera and replied, "It's going to be very soon. Maybe after the movie release..."

"Also Miss Roulan, recently we have all heard about the Chen Corporation. What are your thoughts regarding the whole situation? "

"Umm... see in every person's life there comes a time when he is surrounded by troubles. And whatever my Chen Yufan is facing today is all the result of his enemies schemes" Li Roulan said giving a side glance to Li Xiaolu. "They are jealous of his achievements and so they are creating all these troubles of him. But when a person encounters these troubles with the love and support of their loved ones, they triumph over it. And that loved one for Chen Yufan is me, my family, and my parents. I'm sure he will overcome all these small troubles eventually." 

"How romantic..." The host complimented Li Roulan. 

"The next question is for the beautiful Miss Li Xiaolu. What do you think is love? Miss Xiaolu, everybody wants to know if you have any special someone in your life? Are you single or are you in a relationship with someone?" the host asked.

On the day of her marriage, Li Xiaolu was forced to watch her beloved younger sister marry her fiancé. 

Betrayed by her love, her family, she was killed. However, she is reborn to three years before where it all began. She aims to take her revenge while also fulfilling her dreams at the same time. 

Still one day, she falls for her sister's underhanded schemes where she meets the domineering CEO. 

Zhe Han: "You dare to run away after sleeping with me?"

Li Xiaolu: "Umm... can you consider it a one night stand?"

Zhe Han: "Take responsibility."

Li Xiaolu: "What???"

Zhe Han: "Marry me.."

Li Xiaolu: "....."

William never knew that the original happy ending can be so hurtful; he also never knew that the original happy ending can be so cruel.
 
The sound of trivial sobbing came to his ears, listening to his nostrils, without turning his head to know that it was Hope, not only Hope, around the girls have been crying, sobbing. But William did not cry, compared to crying, dull and depressing is the most real picture.
 
The kind of chest stuffy to depressing bitterness, shouting silent, want to cry, opened his mouth, but found a little sound can not be issued. William did not move his body, so quietly sitting in the darkness, unprecedented to enjoy the darkness of the moment, listening to the vicissitudes of the moving song, let yourself enjoy this one moment.
 
In this moment, he wanted to believe in love.
 
The orange lights of the screening room slowly lit up, as if the reins, the audience from the depths of the water pulled out of the water, the audience from the movie inside to the reality, the warm glow spilled down, so that the cold bone-chilling blood regained its temperature, lingering in the chest of the dullness and bitterness slowly dissipated.
 
William could not wait any longer, "Teng" stood up, but because of the numbness of the feet and did not succeed, the whole person fell in a mess in the chair, but he did not care, re-use both hands to support the armrests, after adjusting his posture, stood up again, and then slapped his hands, slapped his hands with all his strength, palms came a slight tingling, reminding him of how wonderful the movie just now really was.
 
Graham looked at his friend who stood up in shock, because he knew how much William disliked romantic movies, and he knew how indifferent William was to such romantic stories, but now, William was leading a standing ovation? Moreover, William's focused and serious expression looks nothing like a false courtesy, which really opened Graham's eyes.
 
This makes Graham can't help but reveal a smile, that heavy mood has also been slightly relieved.
 
But Graham had to admit that this is indeed a film that is enough to move every audience, delicate and real emotional migration, easily let people fall deep into it, unable to extricate themselves. He was no exception. So he also stood up and joined William's ranks, applauding together.
 
More and more audience members stood up one after another, applause from small to large gradual process, so that people can feel the emotions in the screening room just by ear, how many people are silent, how many people can not help themselves, and how many people are broken.
 
Tessa realized that she was "behind", looked up and found herself in a "forest", even Hope had stood up, and she was the only one left in a large circle of people around. However, the collapse of the emotions still raging in the chest, it seems impossible to stop.
 
Just recalling that last look in Jacob's eyes, she was hit hard, as if she had unloaded all her weapons and equipment, standing naked and defenseless in the middle of a hail of bullets.
 
Deep breath, deep breath again. Tessa heaved two hiccups, which calmed her down a little, and she hurriedly wiped the tears off her cheeks with both hands, too late to deal with her wretchedness, and quickly stood up, slapping her hands hard, exhilarated and excited as never before, even raising her hands high in the air and offering the loudest applause.
 
Out of sight, Tessa saw the cast members on their feet, and she caught a glimpse of Renly and burst out in a controlled shout of, "Ah! Oh!"
 
She liked Renly, not just because of his temperament, and not just because his appearance was her type, but because of the man, the actor.
 
Just rely on just one movie time, she fell deeply in love with Renly, that a heartbreak to numb eyes, dead burned in her mind now, can not help but depict that a piece of heart like dead water in the eyes, regained the appearance of stars.
 
"Young master!" The call was heard by Renly and turned back, Tessa could not help but lose her voice again and scream, "Ah!" The inexpressible exhilaration and excitement spurted out in a steady stream, filling every cell of her body with happiness, and she jumped right up in place, waving her hands vigorously, "Young master! The most handsome man in the world!"
 
Whether or not Renly heard, Tessa does not know, but it is certain that a circle of nearby audience heard, Hope, William and others have turned their heads, Tessa, however, did not feel embarrassed in the slightest, but instead showed a big smile, a determined look, nodded vigorously to show that he was not joking, and then continued to scream, "Aaahhh! "
 
Applause, cheers, screams, shouts.
 
The whole screening room became more and more lively, and finally all the audience stood up en masse, and all the two hundred and fifty seats folded up, each one expressing their respect and love for the cast and crew in their own way. Especially when the cast members walked collectively to the front, the sound of the scene reached its peak, even the roof was still shivering up.
 
This is Sundance, not Toronto.
 
Sundance audiences have always been picky, and if it's a production they don't like, there are not a few cases where they leave the theater halfway through.
 
Because of the special nature of independent films, those who are willing to come are professional and experienced fans, like Tessa, who just come to the audience with enthusiasm, which is gradually increasing in the past few years, but still only a small percentage.
 
The professional audience has no intention of being soft on independent directors, and always looks at each work with a harsh and critical eye. The best works are bound to receive numerous admirers, even if they are several years old; bad works will face relentless blows, but the audience is not mindlessly critical, they can always offer their professional opinions, hoping that those independent directors can make progress and produce even better works next time.
 
So the directors are also willing to accept criticism and communicate with the audience.
 
At Sundance, the collective standing ovation is undoubtedly the best affirmation of the audience to the film, to the director and to the crew. At this moment, the cast and crew of "Crazy in Love" are enjoying this honor.
 
The thunderous applause erupted with earth-shaking energy, which could be felt even outside the cinema.
 
The audience waiting in line at the door to see another movie heard the roar and looked sideways with a look of disbelief in their eyes, knowing better than anyone else how rare and valuable this was. But the fact is right in front of you, that continuous wave after wave of sound came out, and it is becoming more and more obvious, slowly climbing momentum is really staggering.
 
Someone finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What movie is being screened there?"
 
It could be seen that the same doubts appeared in everyone's eyes - a movie that could win such praise would be a fatal attraction for any seasoned professional film fan.
 
The buzz in the screening room was still heating up, with whistles, hisses and cries, especially when everyone saw Renly and Felicity whispering and conversing, and the noise grew louder.
 
Felicity's eyes are slightly red and swollen, this is their first time watching the finished film, although they participated in the whole shooting, but the emotions are still deeply involved, unable to extricate themselves. Not only is she so, Jennifer is also red eyes, speak with a faint nasal voice, the two saw each other's woes, both could not help but smile.
 
Seeing this scene, Drake couldn't help but dumbfounded, patting Renly's back hard, his eyes showing exuberance. No one was happier than he was, and no one could understand his sorrow at the moment, but he knew that the cast had to take credit for the strong response to "Like Crazy".
 
Then Drake took a half step back and patted each actor on the shoulder to express his gratitude.
 
However, because the sound of the scene was so loud, no one understood what Drake meant, and Renly had to explain, pointing to his eyes, indicating that the two girls should stop crying, "He blamed me for the fault because my performance was so good."
 
This instantly made both girls break into tears and laugh.
 
Felicity came up to Renly's ear and said in a raised voice, "Are you sure it's not because Jacob failed Anna?" The flirtatious joke had both of them laughing.
 
And then, the scene exploded.
 
The continuous cheering sound lasted for three minutes. A short three minutes, but an incomparably long three minutes, which is already the highest praise at Sundance, if not for the host Joe came up to the front stage, signaling everyone to quiet down, only afraid that the applause can continue.
 
Because after the applause stopped, the audience remained standing, no one was willing to sit down, as if an upright poplar tree, standing tall, in this most simple way to express the high respect for the crew.
 
Joe looked at the spectacle in front of him and couldn't help but smile, "It's a wonderful movie, isn't it?" A simple sentence was supported by the rising sound of the scene, "Everyone can settle down now. For the next thirty minutes, we will be talking to the cast members and sharing our views on the movie, and I don't think you will want to stay standing."
 
However, no one sat down, and Joe had to raise his hand and press down, "Sit down, sit down, or we won't be able to see your hands raised later." This triggered a light laugh, and then the audience then sat down one after another, "Then I will not talk nonsense, I believe that every audience can not wait to share their own ideas about watching the film, so we will cut straight to today's topic."
 
Joe looked at the actors lined up, "We have a total of five members of the cast coming to the set today, the director and the four leads. Each one of them is open to questions and sharing ideas and anecdotes about the making of the movie. So, who has questions?"
 
The words had just fallen, and the scene hooted and hollered and raised an arm, like a dense forest, layers upon layers, with no end in sight.

After getting the final relief from his past sufferings, Chu Jiashu was given a second chance when he found himself in the body of an infant from an aristocratic family of Hall. Now, nothing is going to stop him from achieving his long-cherished dream of acting. Enter Renly Hall, a Hollywood miracle of 21st century.


Note from the translator - from me, that is.
   
"Honestly, I get frustrated too much when I look at countless subpar novels being translated day after day. So much human resources wasted. I kinda get what Qidian International is doing, but it is just, I can't bear the notion of having so many wonderful novels that belong to the Chinese platform to be left in the dust. English-speaking community should know of the existence of such brilliant works, and more so, they should enjoy them. The novel is by a Chinese dude "Qiqi Jia D Mao Mao", whatever that might mean, who wrote several showbiz novels (he is probably the best at what he is doing). It is not my work, I'm just a dude who, with the help of two free machine translators (DeepL and good ol' Google), can show you a hidden gem. Wait, you said machine translators? Sadly, yes. I can't speak Chinese at all, but fortunately, this novel is structured in a machine-translation-friendly way, like really so. Most of the time context is saved. I'm just polishing the edges with my superb (not really) editing skills, so you all chaps have a splendid experience with this good staff indeed. Actually, you can go and read machine translation or just wait for my updates. Up to you dudes and dudies. And then I go away...blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb, blewb....."

P.S.
"I am a knife for a hire. So the managers of the site can employ me for this novel, but please don't remove it. Oh, please, I'm begging you on my knees. You guys won't even think of translating this novel, and here I am "translating" it for free,.... well for the time being, that is mwahahaha!"

P.S. for P.S.
This novel does not contain the following:
Harem, definitely not NTR, stupid characters, NTR again (God, I hate NTR (secretly beating the meat for a one in hentai))

But this novel contains:
Great storyline, relatable characters, realistic situations, very fun moments as well as tear jerking ones (so much so, you will find your throat hella sore from crying all the time), surprise after surprise for the decisions that author went with.

You will have a good time indeed
WARNING! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

Zhang Wei looked elegant and gentle when she interacted with everyone.
Xie Ming was sitting across her with the bonfire between them. She didn't interact with her other than the formal greetings as she seemed busy with everyone.
She does not want to look desperate or overly friendly with her just because she is popular. She doesn't care about Zhang Wei's background.
She has seen her for the first time and she doesn't feel good vibes from her.
She does not know her and if she interrupted her conversation with others, it might look rude as well.
On both sides of Xie Ming, Wu Sheng and Jian Yan were sitting and looked at Zhang Wei interacting with others. They didn't care about Zhang Wei and were wearing a, ' not interested' kind of look on their faces.
Xie Ming looked at Jian Yan and understood why he wasn't talking to Zhang Wei. She has noticed that he doesn't speak much to others, so she can understand his personality.
It was his personality to remain quiet and mysterious. He does not interact much with others. He prefers to stay under his comfort.
But when she looked at Wu Sheng he seemed different to her. His expressions seemed little off and she could see his stiffened jaw and furrowed brows.
He twitched his lips as he glanced at Zhang Wei. She could feel that something was amiss between the two but did not say anything.
He and Zhang Wei have worked together as well. So they should be more familiar with each other's. At least he should not be frowning when he is seeing her after long. He should be happy and glad but he did not look like that.
But after the formal greeting and a hug, he didn't even talk to her. Instead, he found some reasons to get into a conversation with Xie Ming.
He randomly started the conversation and asked, " Do you feel cold? Do you want a blanket?" he asked her in a low voice as he leaned towards her.
Xie Ming smiled awkwardly. It is summertime and even though the weather gets chilly at night here, however, the fire was already burning and she was already using the woolen shawl to cover her legs.
It will be uncomfortable to use a blanket over it. She was not freezing that she would need a blanket.
However, she understood that he was just trying to change the topic.
She shook her head and said, " This shawl is enough. Thank You." After that, they got engaged in a few more conversations.
Xie Ming felt that he was feeling uncomfortable since Zhang Wei's arrival and does not want to share his feelings, so she didn't say anything and normally chatted with him.
From the sides, Jian Yan was looking at Wu Sheng who was talking to Xie Ming about here and there.
His expressions darkened seeing him talking to Xie Ming like this. He was right beside her but she was not talking to him but Wu Sheng. 
..
Zhang Wei who was talking to Han Ling and others frowned seeing Wu Sheng talking to Xie Ming.
She saw Xie Ming earlier who greeted her earlier as well but Zhang Wei politely smiled at her but she didn't like her that much.
From others, she got to know that Xie Ming is the second female lead of the movie, for which auditions Mr. Han has done so many things.
He has rejected many big actresses for this role, even Zhang Wei but he selected Xie Ming who is just a newbie.
….
Zhang Wei remembered when she heard from her assistant about Mr.Han searching for his second female lead and he believed that this role is more challenging and impressive than the others.
She wanted to grab this role. Because she knows the value of Mr. Han's movie's value. Mr. Han has a name and his foundation in the entertainment industry.
She has also debuted from his movie as the second female lead and reached such heights.
After that, it would be their most awaited collaboration if he had cast her as the second female lead.
But he outrightly rejected her saying that she will not be able to portray the character properly when he saw her audition. He was speechless because Zhang Wei was famous and internationally popular but she didn't fit into his image of the Empress.
Because this needs various kinds of emotions and not only happiness and anger. Moreover, Zhang Wei's image has been created in the public's mind as a kind and gentle goddess.
But if she acted as the antagonist in the movie, then it might also receive backlash from the netizens. Though he does not care about the opinion of the netizens as it is the actor's responsibility to change the image of themselves in netizens minds with their acting.
They should be known by their acting and role and not only by their certain image.
 Mr. Han gave her a chance for the audition because of their old relations. She has worked in his movie and he has seen her hard work.
So he couldn't break her heart by rejecting her constantly, so he gave her a chance for an audition. He thought that she might change his mindset but that didn't happen.
This was the personal audition, and no one knows about this audition, not even Xu Lan.
Zhang Wei does not want to release the news before getting the movie. But she controlled her excitement and kept mum about this situation.
After the audition, as expected she failed to portray the emotions of the character right. However, she was still adamant about it and said to him that, she is the only one who can act this role well.
'Other people will not be able to portray the character's feelings well other than me.' she rudely said to him.
She believed that he will come back to her to perform in his movie and was expecting him to come and beg her to act this role.
However, unexpectedly she got the news that he cast some pretty face newbie as the second female lead. She refused to accept that he could cast someone randomly.
Did he reject her for a newbie?
She was surprised because he hired some newbie leaving the top actress like her. She felt like he had made a big mistake by doing this.
There must be a reason, otherwise, Xie Ming wouldn't have gotten this role.
She has offered to work for him due to their past relationship and because she debuted from his movie.
But he completely disregarded her and signed some mere newbie as the second female lead.
She came here not only to meet everyone but she wanted to see whom he has cast as the new female lead.
When she saw Xie Ming, her eyes faltered. She was really beautiful. No one can surpass in terms of looks.
But when she looked at Xie Ming, she realized she was wrong. Xie Ming was wearing only a plain white dress and had no makeup on her face.
However, she was still looking fresh and beautiful. Her skin was glowing brightly. 
She pursed her lips as she felt that Xie Ming could be a threat to her. She has made her position in this industry and was at her peak.
But if a new actresses like her, entered the industry, she will take the limelight because of her beauty. She didn't like Xie Ming because she was selected only on her looks.
She felt that she was much more capable and suitable for this role and how can a newbie portray the emotions of a character better than her? 
She felt that Xie Ming must have entered into the movie because of her mere looks, so she squinted her eyes at her seeing her getting along with Wu Sheng. 
" You're Xie Ming, right? Is it your first time acting in a movie?" Zhang Wei suddenly ignored Han King's blabbering and asked Xie Ming in a loud voice. 
They were sitting quite far, so it was not convenient for them to talk but she still asked her a question asking in a loud voice. 
It was enough for everyone to hear and everyone went quiet when Zhang Wei spoke. 
They all turned to look at Xie Ming. 
Xie Ming was surprised when she suddenly asked her a question. She was surprised but she calmly looked at her and said, " Yes. It's my first time acting in a movie"
No one was surprised as everyone knew about it and they didn't care about it either. 
But Zhang Wei looked at Xie Ming in shock and covered her mouth slightly. 
" Really? It's your debut movie and you got the role of a second female lead in Mr. Han's movie? That's amazing. You must have some 'skills' up to you that's why you got this prominent role in the movie." she said while chuckling lightly.
" Now you got this role, so do well. Otherwise, everyone will think that you came from the backdoor and got selected when you cannot even act," she said in concern but Xie Ming and Wu Sheng could sense the clear sarcasm in her words. 
Xie Ming rolled her eyes at her. She hasn't met her before and she was talking to her like she has taken something from her. 
She felt that her question was inappropriate. It's not like she did anything shady to get this role. 
She just gave an audition like everyone else, and if Mr. Han selected her, is it her fault? 


He stood beside her bed and stared at her face in wonder if it’s real. A smile appeared on his lips seeing her fluttering eyelashes as she was waking up. However, her reaction was different than what he had expected.


“ Pak”


He stared at her in shock as he covering his face with his palm. Did she just slap him?

Zhao Ming's mouth was open in pure terror when she realized what she just did. She slapped the Emperor. The cruel-infamous Emperor of Ji Dynasty?

‘ Am I going to die again? I just came to this world, do I have to die again?’ 

….

She was the Empress of the Ji Dynasty, but in name only. Never been treated or respected as the Empress, and witnessing the worst of the palace, the life gave her another chance to shine as who she is. 
One day when she opened her eyes, she found her in unfamiliar surroundings. The world was full of people using strange items and in a world that was a world apart from hers.  
Will the Empress of Ji Dynasty be able to survive in this competitive world?


**

She was the wife of the richest businessman in the country with the reputation of nothing but trash. She was labeled as a rebellious brat, shameless lazy woman. When she opened her eyes one day, she found herself in some strange world.


Holy Sh *t! 


She became the Empress of the Ji Dynasty. Can the rebellious, shameless lazy woman adjust to the cruel, strict palace world? Will she change or change the world instead? 


 Can the Emperor get used to her being proactive in every single thing? Even in bed? The Emperor dotes on his wife to the point that she feels tired, how can a man be this cute? It’s illegal for men to be this cute.

…

She pushed him on the bed and sat on his body while looking at him with her tempting eyes.

“ Zhao Ming, what..what are you doing?” 

“ Shh...Your Majesty, you just need to relax. I will do all the work.” She leaned in and sealed his lips with his moist lips making him crazy for her even more.

Thank you

Evening on the same day, inside a big hall, the crew were busy setting up the venue. Today was the press conference of the movie where Sabrina will join.

The movie was titled "Encounter", it is a story of a man and a woman who fell in love but their love was forbidden. The woman was a spy agent for the country while the man was the leader of a rebel group who wants to take down the government.

The woman was assigned to go undercover and join the rebel group to know their plans. The man originally didn't trust her, but the woman did things to prove herself. After sometime, the two of them grew closer and closer until they fell in love with each other.

Then there came a call from the woman's agency which was accidentally picked up by the man. The man was angered after he knew her real identity so he kicked out the woman from the rebel group, he knew that traitors from the group shall be exiled, but due to his love for her he just let her go.

The time came where the rebel group shall execute their plans, the man and the woman fought each other and ended up killing each other. They both knew their priorities, although they loved each other, their responsibilities should go first. They were people not deserving of love due to their occupations.

It was already 6 pm after the crew finished organizing the venue, the actors came one after another backstage. The first one to arrive was the male lead. His name is Kevin Hush. Kevin is a 26 year old actor who is  well known in hollywood. He was one of the youngest actors to be an Oscar nominee and he holds a best second male lead award from Cannes Film Festival.

He also starred in several hollywood films which broke a few records. His looks were beyond average, he had black hair and brown eyes. With just one look, you would know he was a handsome man of many romantic endeavors.

Second came was the second female lead, her name is Jessica Han, she's an asian actress who was lucky to have a break in hollywood. Jessica was a knockout beauty with a hot body and a head of wavy blonde hair. Her role in the movie was to be the female lead's love rival.

Her character was in love with the male lead for so many years, they both started the rebellion group. They were together through ups and downs but never did she plan to admit her feelings. She thought that by simply staying beside the man will eventually draw them closer into a romantic relationship. But her dream was ruined when the female lead joined the group. She made things hard for her and tried her best to investigate the background of the woman.

Soon, Sabrina also arrived with her manager Kenzie.

"Good evening," Sabrina greeted Jessica and Kevin. Kevin who was busy playing with his phone didn't bother to look up and reply, it was only Jessica who greeted her back.

"Hi, you're Sabrina right? I'm Jessica. Let's get along well!" the woman stood up and offered her hand to Sabrina which she held and shook. Jessica smiled at her and said, "Don't mind him, he's always like that. A jerk."

Kevin who heard what she said looked up and said, "Who the hell are you calling a jerk huh?" he blurted.

"Of course you." Jessica answered and rolled her eyes. Kevin who was ready to answer back suddenly shut his mouth upon seeing the woman who stood beside Jessica. The lady was a classic beauty who looks like she came straight out of a painting.

Her fine brown hair was let down and had big curls on its end which made the woman look extremely youthful. Her lips were delicate. She had a pair of long legs and her body was slim.

Kevin suddenly stood up and greeted her, "Kevin Hush, Single," the man offered his hand and Sabrina unwillingly shook it, "Sabrina Pierce, uhmm.. not interested to be in a relationship?" she answered innocently.

Jessica bursted out laughing after hearing the woman's answer. She walked to Kevin and patted his shoulder, "Not that smooth man," she whispered to him then turned to Sabrina.

"I think we should get ready Sab, don't mind this idiot." she grabbed Sabrina and led her to the make up room. They left Kevin complaining inside the backstage.

Jessica and Kevin were close friends because they already worked together in several movies and TV shows where they got to know each other and became close.

After preparations all of the cast were ready at 7 pm. Their make up was done and all they were waiting for was the director and the start of the presscon at 8:30 pm.

"Are you nervous, Sabrina?" Jessica asked.

Sabrina nodded and replied, "A bit, I'm new here after all."

"Don't worry I got you, it's just a simple press conference." Jessica smiled at Sabrina, she smiled back at her.

It was their first time meeting each other but they were already getting along well.

Well this is a good start, Sabrina thought to herself.

After several minutes, the director of the movie finally arrived. His name is Patrick Walker. He was already in his mid 50s. He had gray hair and a mustache. He was a world wide recognized director for all his works were always a box office hit world wide. He was called the "genius director" for his film's cinematography and script were all brilliant and award winning.

He greeted the cast and chatted with them a little.

8:30 pm

It was finally the start of the press conference. The hall was filled with reporters from different broadcasting stations. Many were anticipating this conference because of the fact that this movie is going to have a new face. They were all curious about her.

"Do you think the female lead is good enough for this movie? This is directed by a famous director after all." one reporter said.

"I heard from one of my friends, she climbed Mr. Walker's bed to get this role." another reporter added.

"Really? No wonder! I knew something was fishy because she came out of nowhere!" the reporters continued to share their thoughts with each other.

Then the host finally came out to formally start the presscon.

"Good day to our fellow media friends here. Today's event will be surely filled with excitement as we introduce Director Walker's new film 'Encounter'. Let us all welcome the stage, our director and the cast of the movie!" The crowd gave a round of applause. There were fans of Jessica and Kevin in the crowd who cheered for them as they walked to the stage. Kenzie who was seated in the front cheered for Sabrina.

"Please introduce yourselves." said the host to the cast.

"Hello everyone my name is Sabrina Pierce and I'll be playing the role of the female lead Hanna Davis."

"Hello everyone, I'm Jessica Han and I'm playing the second female lead Brenda Cole."

"Hey everyone I'm Kevin Hush, I'm the leading man. I'll be playing as Jaden Wilson," the crowd immediately went noisy after Kevin spoke. He was after all, their idol.

"We're done with the introductions of the cast, but before we open the room for questions, let us first ask our director about his thoughts." the host said.

Mr. Walker picked his mic up and spoke, "Encounter is a film which I had wanted to do since I received the script. It has a unique storyline which is far from the movies I usually direct, it's not your typical love story and I think the viewers will love it. It is something new and I hope that everyone will be looking forward to it as much as I am." the director smiled and placed down his mic.
