Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 2 Zeng Li's Thanks

When Fu Yibai finished his acceptance speech and returned to the audience, a second round of applause erupted, even more enthusiastic than before. Everyone was filled with a sense of confirmation and amazement at the "new face" and the "miracle."

Holding the silver bear, Fu Yibai stepped into a galaxy of burning gazes and flashing camera shutters with every step.

Upon returning to the small area of ​​the "Black Coal, Thin Ice" film crew's quarters, he was immediately surrounded.

"Good lad! You actually got it!"

Producer Zhang Jiandong patted him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes reddening.

Who would have thought that the man who won the jury's grand prize was just a junior in college?

I still vividly remember the scene last year when Fu Yibai approached him with the script and storyboard, inviting him to be a producer.

Congratulations, Director Fu!

Congratulations, Director Fu!

"Director Fu is amazing!"

Zeng Li didn't say anything, she just looked at him, her eyes shining brightly under the light.

She gave him another gentle hug, everything understood without words.

Fu Yibai responded to each question, his excitement gradually settling into a solid, warm current.

The Best Picture award ultimately went to "The World Between Us".

Fu Yibai had no regrets about this.

Fu Yibai was already very satisfied that her first film after her rebirth won the Jury Prize and the Best Actress Award.

After the awards ceremony, the cast and crew of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" had to give a large group of reporters an interview.

Spotlights came from all directions, and the media's long lenses could finally be rightfully aimed at this young Chinese director who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Fu Yibai knew that from this moment on, his name and face would be transmitted back to China and to the world via radio waves and film.

This feeling was far more real and heavy than the millions of likes he gained on short video platforms in his previous life.

"Director Fu! Over here! XX TV station would like to do a brief interview!"

"Director Fu Yibai, I am a reporter from xxx newspaper. What are your thoughts on winning this award?"

I heard you're a third-year student at the Beijing Film Academy, and you have…”

"Director, I'm a reporter from 'XX Film' magazine. How did you manage to handle such a suspenseful and profound story at such a young age?"

Questions came from all directions, but Fu Yibai kept smiling and answered the ones he could simply.

Some unscrupulous media outlets didn't ask about his award, but instead interviewed him about his relationship with Zeng Li.

When asked about this, Fu Yibai explained directly that they were simply a director and an actor.

After all, they really have no connection.

Fu Yibai chose Zeng Li as the female lead simply because he was only a sophomore at the time, and according to public information, he had never directed a film.

Therefore, not many actresses auditioned, and Zeng Li was the most outstanding one among them.

During the months of filming, although his relationship with Zeng Li grew closer, nothing in that kind of relationship ever happened.

One reason is that Fu Yibai had put all his energy into the movie at the time, since he needed to complete his novice mission through this film.

It was also to fulfill a promise to his father.

He bet that he would have to go home and inherit the company if he didn't win the award, and asked his father for filming and public relations funds.

Secondly, Zeng Li did not take the initiative in dealing with Yi Bai.

As a reborn individual with a system, Fu Yibai will never lack actresses who want to improve in the future. If Zeng Li doesn't take the initiative, he is even less likely to do so.

Therefore, both of them remain innocent to this day.

Therefore, when questioned by gossip reporters, Fu Yibai confidently denied these absurd claims.

The interview lasted for nearly two hours, during which Fu Yibai maintained a polite smile throughout.

He breathed a sigh of relief after the last question was asked.

After leading everyone back to the hotel, Fu Yibai immediately called back to China.

It was a little after 7 a.m. in China, and Fu Jianlin and his wife were having breakfast at home.

The telephone ringing sounded particularly crisp in the villa in the early morning.

Fu Jianlin put down his soy milk, glanced at the caller ID, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Dad, we won an award!"

Fu Yibai's voice came through the receiver, filled with undisguised excitement.

"The Jury Grand Prize, and the Best Actress Award."

Li Hui snatched Fu Jianlin's phone.

"Son! Mom knew you could do it!"

Li Hui's voice trembled with excitement, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Fu Jianlin's feelings at this moment were somewhat complicated, a mixture of relief and disappointment.

Upon hearing Fu Yibai's good news, Fu Jianlin simply said coldly, "I know, come back soon."

Li Hui, on the other hand, went on and on, giving many more instructions.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yibai was about to take a shower when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

Fu Yibai was curious who would come to see him so late at night, but when he opened the door, he found that it was Zeng Li.

Zeng Li must have just finished showering. Her fair face still had a blush, and her long, black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was only wearing a loose nightgown, and her alluring figure was faintly visible beneath it. You could also vaguely smell the fragrance of her shower gel.

"Um, Sister Li..."

What's going on here?

Fu Yibai asked uncertainly.

Zeng Li rolled her eyes at Fu Yibai, reached out and pushed him into the house, then closed the door.

In fact, after spending several months together, Zeng Li had already developed feelings for her handsome and talented younger brother, Fu Yibai.

However, she is introverted and doesn't like to take the initiative. In addition, Fu Yibai was always focused on his work during filming, which made her mistakenly believe that he was not interested in her.

Until tonight, seeing him shining brightly on the awards stage, and because of him I won the first major award of my acting career, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long finally broke through.

After the door closed, Zeng Li boldly threw herself into Fu Yibai's arms, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.

Although Fu Yibai was momentarily stunned by Zeng Li's sudden attack, the soft touch on his lips and the lingering fragrance around his nose quickly brought him back to his senses.

After understanding the woman's thoughts, Fu Yibai began to invade Zeng Li's lips and tongue in return, and his hands naturally wrapped around her slender waist.

The two embraced and kissed passionately behind the door, as if to release all the restraint and forbearance they had endured over the past few months.

As clothes fell to the floor, the temperature in the room began to rise.

Berlin in February is bitterly cold, but the temperature inside the room made the two of them sweat profusely.

Neither of them said anything like "Do you love me?"; they simply used their bodies to express their most primal desires for each other.

When everything calmed down, the sky outside the window was already turning a pale white.

Zeng Li curled up wearily in Fu Yibai's arms, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on Fu Yibai's chest muscles.
