Rebirth: An Outlier in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 70 Huang Liang's Coming-of-Age Ceremony

"Isn't that Wang Baoqiang playing Shagen? He acted so well," Sister Yuanyuan exclaimed.

"If you have good acting skills, you'll naturally be able to deliver a brilliant performance," Huang Yiliang said, spouting a meaningless statement.

However, he knew that Wang Baoqiang's portrayal of Sha Gen was definitely not a natural performance; the guy was incredibly cunning, and only Ma Rong could handle him.

Although Wang Baoqiang has acted in "Blind Shaft" and won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Performer, the general public still doesn't recognize him.

However, since Sister Yuanyuan is in the entertainment industry, she naturally knows the name Wang Baoqiang.

"It seems like Uncle Ge is playing a bad guy this time?" Sister Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, an old thief who likes to recite a few lines of poetry," Huang Yiliang nodded in reply.

"Are all the scenes set on a train?" Sister Yuanyuan's questions were a bit more technical.

Fortunately, Huang Yiliang studied directing.

Wow! The director and the beautiful actress look like a great match!

Toothbrush: Yes, they match perfectly!

Yang Mi: Agreed.

Little Potato: I can also be an excellent actor, with better acting skills than the ones mentioned above!

"Yes! The wide shot of you worshipping Buddha at the beginning is already the biggest scene," Huang Yiliang replied.

"Ah—!" Sister Yuanyuan held a piece of popcorn in front of Huang Yiliang's lips and waved it.

Huang Yiliang opened his mouth.

He felt a little strange. Usually, he was the one feeding others, and suddenly being fed like this felt a little heartwarming.

"Would you like some water?" Sister Yuanyuan asked.

Huang Yiliang glanced down at the Coke on the armrest of his seat; there was only one cup.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Sister Yuanyuan held the straw to Huang Yiliang's lips.

Huang Yiliang felt a warmth in his heart; his older sister was so considerate.

The movie theater where Sister Yuanyuan bought her ticket was a relatively expensive type. There weren't many seats, but they were all quite spacious, and the armrests on both sides of the seats had recessed snack and drink areas.

The two watched the movie while whispering and discussing the plot.

Sister Yuanyuan suddenly realized that Huang Yiliang's understanding of film creation is quite unique.

"Is Andy Lau going to die?" With the movie halfway through, Sister Yuanyuan could roughly guess the ending. She turned to look at Wong Yat-leung.

Huang Yiliang gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"Oh dear! That would make the movie too cliché." Sister Yuanyuan shook her head in disappointment.

As an artsy young woman, Sister Yuanyuan hates clichés and vulgar routines.

"Not necessarily. You'll know once you see the ending. It should be the kind of ending you like," Huang Yiliang said, shaking his head.

He often chatted with Sister Yuanyuan on the phone, so he knew a little about her personality.

"Really?" Sister Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she skillfully took a piece of popcorn and held it to Huang Yiliang's mouth.

Huang Yiliang opened his mouth and bit down, accidentally biting a tiny bit of Sister Yuanyuan's finger.

Sister Yuanyuan gave Huang Yiliang a charming eye roll.

Oh my god, oh my god, Sister Yuanyuan is too good at flirting.

Huang Yiliang felt that tonight might be his coming-of-age ceremony.

The movie has ended.

As expected, Sister Yuanyuan didn't think the ending was cliché, but she cried quite sadly, which showed that she was truly immersed in the movie.

Huang Yiliang had no choice but to keep handing her tissues.

"How come you didn't feel anything?" Sister Yuanyuan glared at Huang Yiliang.

"Uh—! I'm afraid of losing face! Actually, I was crying my eyes out inside." Huang Yiliang had no choice but to say it with a forced smile.

Did he mean he hoped the ending would be that both thieves died?

Sister Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Huang Yiliang again.

"Hi! Hello, I'm a reporter from Huixin Entertainment. Could you please share your thoughts on watching 'A World Without Thieves'?"

Huang Yiliang was numb.

Why is it that little girl picking mushrooms again? No, I mean the one with the mushroom head.

The little girl with the mushroom haircut was also stunned.

Why is it that handsome guy again?

Wait—! He changed girlfriends?

The mushroom-headed girl took a closer look at Sister Yuanyuan.

It looks familiar.

Let me look again, ah—! It's Gao Yuanyuan.

"Run!" Huang Yiliang grabbed Yuanyuan's hand and ran.

Yuanyuan had no height concerns; she was wearing flat white shoes and ran just as fast as Huang Yiliang. The two of them quickly left the mushroom-headed girl who was waiting for the photographer behind.

"Did you get the picture?" the mushroom-headed girl asked the photographer excitedly.

Gao Yuanyuan!

She held hands with her new boyfriend to watch a movie at night.

This new boyfriend is two-timing; he previously took a young, pretty girl to the movies.

I can't believe I've stumbled upon such explosive news! A promotion and a raise are definitely within reach!

"I haven't even turned the camera on yet!" the photographer said, shaking the camera.

"..."

The little girl with the mushroom haircut had her dreams shattered.

"Brother Runtu, you won't hit me if I swear, will you?" the mushroom-headed girl asked.

The photographer replied, "You can give it a try."

the other side.

Huang Yiliang and Sister Yuanyuan got into the car.

Sister Yuanyuan's car.

"It's still early, would you like to come over for a coffee?" Sister Yuanyuan invited.

"good--!"

Huang Yiliang nodded excitedly.

Yuanyuan's driving skills are quite average. She struggled for a long time to reverse into the parking space, so Huang Yiliang had to get out of the car to help her park.

Let's go!

"There's a rather deep staircase ahead, be careful."

My older sister is so considerate.

Huang Yiliang observed that Sister Yuanyuan lived in a community with relatively few buildings.

The security in the community is quite strict. You need to swipe your card at the entrance, and you also need to swipe your card to enter the underground parking garage. You even have to swipe your card again between the underground parking garage and the elevator door.

Yuanyuan's house.

Huang Yiliang, Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Jingwen.

Three pairs of eyes staring at each other.

In comparison, Yuanyuan's eyes are the biggest and brightest.

"Should I leave?" Sister Jingwen asked tactfully.

Why did she come to someone else's house without saying hello and even use her own key to open the door?

It's obvious that she and Sister Yuanyuan have a really good relationship, not the kind of superficial sisterhood.

"Okay!" Huang Yiliang and Sister Yuanyuan said in unison.

Jingwen was furious.

If either of you tries to keep me here, even if it's just a pretense, I won't be this annoying third wheel.

"Oh no! I want to stay. I have nowhere to go. Yuanyuan, you wouldn't let me stay in a hotel, would you?" Jingwen kicked off her slippers and slumped onto the sofa.

Sister Yuanyuan looked at Huang Yiliang awkwardly.

"Yi Liang, what kind of coffee would you like to drink?" Sister Yuan Yuan asked.

Oh? You really want coffee?

"Anything is fine!"

After replying, Huang Yiliang turned and stared at Sister Jingwen.

Please don't let us retake Taiwan, otherwise—

An image of a leopard's head clenching its fist flashed through Huang Yiliang's mind.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I even bought you guys some late-night snacks." Sister Jingwen felt uneasy under Huang Yiliang's gaze.

Huang Yiliang looked at the coffee table.

Wow, she really bought a lot of late-night snacks, including various barbecues, stir-fried snails, eggplant casserole, and crayfish, and she also opened a bottle of ice-cold beer.

She and her sister Yuanyuan are really not afraid of gaining weight.

"Would you like some?" Sister Jingwen invited.

"What else can I do? Do you want me to watch you eat?" Huang Yiliang said irritably.

When Sister Yuanyuan came out with three cups of coffee,

Huang Yiliang and Sister Jingwen have already started drinking.

Once you get to know Jingwen, she's quite interesting. She's not shy at all; if she loses a drinking game, she drinks heartily and never owes anyone anything.

"Sister Yuanyuan, let's go together!" Huang Yiliang invited.

"She won't," Jingwen said on behalf of Yuanyuan.

"How about the three of us play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) together?"

Huang Yiliang was stunned after hearing what Jingwen said.

He slowly turned his head to look at Sister Yuanyuan in disbelief.

"Okay!" Sister Yuanyuan nodded and smiled.

Huang Yiliang almost had a nosebleed on the spot.

Are you two really that nice older sisters?

This is definitely an unforgettable coming-of-age ceremony for me.

I must use all my skills to repay the two kind older sisters.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause!

then,

Sister Yuanyuan actually took out a deck of cards.

Huang Yiliang wanted to die.
