She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1088 - 899: Super Star 73

Netizens couldn’t find her Weibo account, so they followed her through [Human Truth], which is one of the reasons why Human Truth went viral overnight.

No matter how fiery the situation online and outside was, Hua Yan still smoothly boarded the high-speed train to Hengdian, wearing a mask all the time and with makeup that sharply contrasted with her pure movie image, making it nearly impossible for anyone to recognize her.

Because the ones following the internet and movies are primarily young people, and only some young people at that, she’s not yet at a level of nationwide recognition and can still appear freely at the high-speed train station.

When she arrived, Liang An personally drove to pick her up, and unexpectedly, Ling Yao came along. Seeing him, Hua Yan was quite surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Why does that not sound right? When you saw Uncle Liang, you sweetly called him, so why do you look so sullen with me? Did I embarrass you?"

Hua Yan’s mouth twitched: "What are you talking about? I just thought you still have to shoot scenes, right? And besides, I think we should keep a distance to avoid suspicion. Have you seen the reports online?"

During the rain night shoot, this guy insisted on buying lobsters, and ended up staying in her room for two or three hours, actually getting photographed. Now it’s uploaded online, saying that Ling Yao left the circle because of her, and some even released footage of the past conflict between Hua Yan, Ling Yao, and actress Xi Lan.

The entertainment circle truly is a magical place; people who could be casually crushed back then were photographed without deleting the pictures, and years later, it turns into a hot topic. The key thing is that the owner of the photo can still recognize both of them, which is truly remarkable.

Ling Yao and Hua Yan trending hot, surprisingly tied to their old enemy Xi Lan, is indeed disgusting.

Most exaggerated is that neither she nor Ling Yao responded, yet Xi Lan, who slapped others, shamelessly pretended to be a victim, vaguely implying that back then, conflicts with Hua Yan led to Ling Yao leaving the circle.

"It’s obvious she knows we have no evidence and is riding the hype. This woman was washed up long ago, and now jumping out, weird people causing more problems. You two shouldn’t bother with her, let her hype it up; maybe the more she stirs, the more popular we become."

Hua Yan and Ling Yao are the type who’d ignore you as long as you don’t directly call them out, but if you cross their line, they’d crush you instantly.

Now Xi Lan jumps around because she wants to hype herself; she hasn’t directly targeted them, so they can tolerate her being the clown for now.

After arriving in Hengdian, Liang An took Hua Yan directly to the hotel.

"Rest well first; join the group tomorrow. I’ll arrange your scenes swiftly to finish them before your vacation ends. Also, ’Youth Diary’ is doing better than expected; ’Heiress Strategy’ might rely on its success to bounce back. That way, we won’t need to seek other investors; if these two series go straight, our company survives completely."

If this movie earns over a hundred million, the cinema takes fifty million, and from the remaining fifty million, about twenty percent needs to be allocated for taxes and other affairs, so it seems over a hundred million, but to Liang An, it might just be a doubled investment ratio.

"Isn’t this profit share a bit too high? Taking fifty percent right off the bat?"

Liang An forced a smile: "For small productions like ours, getting screen time is already fortunate; a fifty percent share is considered high in the industry. You’ll discover this standard industry practice over time. This is also why I insist on investing myself; even if I have to give up everything, aside from having a say, it’s about not slaving away, only for others to profit."

Since ’Youth Diary’ is still in theaters, after arranging everything in Hengdian, Liang An will return to Beijing.

When Hua Yan inquired about Zhou Yao specifically, Liang An said: "Don’t worry; she’s already in a makeup group. I trust your recommendation and placed her with the main cast. This girl has some skills; no wonder she attracts envy. If you like her, why not keep her around as your exclusive makeup artist? I’m also planning to assign you a manager; both of you are students, so getting a manager—"

Before Liang An could finish, Hua Yan rejected: "Uncle, don’t bother. You said we’re students, so there’s no need for a manager. If you have suitable roles, we’ll take them; if not, no competition, and we won’t waste a person. As for Zhou Yao, I do like her, but my status doesn’t warrant an exclusive makeup artist right now. Let her stay in your crew, and we’ll discuss everything after I graduate."

Hua Yan’s determined stance isn’t a new thing, so Liang An didn’t impose more.

All actors for ’Heiress Strategy’ were selected by Hua Yan, including current students of the acting department and seasoned performers who’ve struggled for years without much achievement. Her film has no plastic surgery faces; each beauty has distinguishable features, not like being carved from the same mold.

"How’s it going? Been a month since you joined the group; are you getting along well?"

After Liang An left, Hua Yan took out fruits and snacks from space for Ling Yao; Ling Yao, being very fit with a muscular build due to regular exercise, could eat anything without worrying about weight. He accepted them without hesitation, munching while nodding: "It’s alright, quite harmonious; no troublesome people for now."
