Chapter 235 – Zhang Junzhi When Lu Chen arrived in Jinling again, rain was falling from the sky. The drizzle was misty and hazy, making this ancient yet modern city look particularly beautiful in the rain. It was gentle, elegant, and lingering, as if it was an elegant lady from the Tang and Song dynasties who was quietly waiting for his arrival. This feeling is difficult to describe in words. Lu Chen stayed at the…
Chapter 72 – Down-and-out director The Amsterdam Avenue, just after a rain shower, was filled with a damp smell. The heavy heat made the air sticky, and the restless unease made people feel like doing something, but they lacked the motivation. The Victorian-style buildings on both sides of the street carried an ancient scent, with moss, rust, and red bricks. The lingering moisture wafted between the brick walls, as if crossing the Atlantic, walking from…
Chapter 71 – Independent film. Since the creation of the “Pulp Fiction” in 1994, independent films have truly entered the realm of high culture and have become a force to be reckoned with in the movie industry. In the current context where large production studios are becoming increasingly formulaic and lacking innovative and enterprising spirit, the progressive and solid determination of independent films has gradually become the driving force behind the continuous advancement of the…
Chapter 70 – A good opportunity appeared. It’s actually “The Amazing Spider-Man”! This is definitely a project that exceeded expectations. What surprised Renly was not “The Amazing Spider-Man” itself, but the fact that Sony Pictures had openly announced such a prestigious production and opened it up for all actors to participate. This is undoubtedly news that will cause a sensation in Hollywood, no wonder Lisa was so secretive earlier. As we all know, the release…
Chapter 63 – Playing House Since being invited to a tea party for the first time, I’ve been visiting the Minamoto family every few months. Today, we are playing house in the familiar tatami room under Kana-chan’s leadership. “Hijiri will play dad, and Shizuku-chan will be the older sister. Yuya will be the little brother, and Kaname will be a baby!” Kana-chan was enthusiastically deciding our roles. Since she’s the only girl when we are…
Chapter 69 – To Give up What Is Close at Hand in Pursuit of the Distant. “Good morning, Renly. The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?” “Hey, Renly, if you run into Tom next time, say hello to him for me.” “Renly, you’re here again today? So, any news yet?” “Hey, my buddy! Excellent job, excellent!” “Have you chosen the next work? Many eyes have been on you lately.” ……. Passersby actively greeted Renly…
Chapter 68 – Proud and Arrogant. As they were talking, the subway arrived at the station. Renly and Andy walked out of the subway station together. This time, Andy didn’t continue to follow Renly but stopped by the roadside. Renly took two more steps forward before realizing that Andy had fallen behind. He turned around, and Andy’s friendly smile came into view. “So, how do you feel about letting me plan your future in your…
Chapter 67 – Displaying Ability. Andy squinted his eyes slightly, carefully observing Renly’s expression, trying to fathom his true thoughts. However, evidently, that wasn’t an easy task. The pair of eyes hidden under long eyelashes cast a shadow, making it impossible to delve further. It was far from the clear and bright eyes of Eugene Sledge in “The Pacific.” Andy couldn’t help but sigh, “Just from this detail alone, one can understand how good Renly’s…
Chapter 66 – Twisted Fate. Chris clung tightly to the room’s door, as if fearing that Renly would burst in through it. His heart pounded heavily like a drum, and his dry throat began to itch, causing him to cough involuntarily. He had to forcefully cover his mouth to avoid making any sound. After finally calming his breath, Chris locked the room door and quickly walked to the side of the bed. He pulled out…
Chapter 62 – Goddess Chioharu no Fuai “Please prepare an offering from your family.” Upon hearing those words, the shrine maiden who had been waiting in the corner of the room began to move. Glancing at the back of the room, my father received a pair of scissors and a piece of paper. He wasn’t the only one who received them. The parents of each household came with scissors in hand to their children. “Cut…
