Half a day later.

Xu Yi asked Su Xin to use the resources of Huarun Entertainment to arrange an entire photography studio for him, where he set up cameras.

The top-of-the-line film shooting equipment, as well as various costumes and props, broadened Xu Yi's horizons.

Um?

Why are there photos of Brother Guan Xi on this camera? Did Brother Guan Xi bless it?

Who has such ambition that their dream is to become a photography master like Brother Guan Xi?

Coach! I don't want to make movies anymore, I want to make films about human body art...

Xu Yi excitedly fiddled with the various props in the greenhouse. Having just acquired the abilities of a master Director, he was itching to use them.

Huarun Entertainment has been merged into Yi Xing Entertainment. In other words, Xu Yi is the biggest Boss here and can use all the group's resources.

With each instruction from Xu Yi, the photography studio sprang into action.

As each short film was completed, its lighting, story, and pacing all captivated the viewer and touched the heart, either making people laugh out loud or moving them deeply.

The only downside is... it's too short!

The viewers in the Livestream Room were praising Xu Yi's Director skills one second, and the next second they were cursing him.

"Damn it, I've been working like a dog all day, and I finally got to relax by watching a live stream, but I never expected to be tortured to death by a three-minute clip!"

"Holy crap, how can a short film of only three or four minutes be so moving? It's heartbreaking! I strongly demand that it be adapted into a feature film!"

"I finally swore to become a monk and vowed never to have worldly desires again, and now after watching a short film, I'm thinking of returning to secular life! Xu Yi, you've ruined so many people!"

"I'm so frustrated! Is this kid really new to cameras? How come he shoots everything so well, from lighting to story? He's even more captivating than those so-called international Director!"

"Damn, I can't stand watching other people's stuff anymore! Compared to Xu Yi, those other trash Director are utter garbage!"

[Negative emotions +200]

Xu Yi sat in the Director's seat, watching the system notifications that kept ringing, and waved to the crowd.

"Everyone, take a ten-minute break. We'll film the second take, the suspenseful one."

As they were talking, Xu Yu, dressed in ancient costume, came to Xu Yi with a plate of fruit that she had personally cut. She fed Xu Yi a small fork and wiped his mouth.

"Boss, you Director so well! Was my acting okay?"

"It's alright, you still need to work on it. Your acting is too formulaic, and your body is too stiff. Come here, let me give you some pointers..."

"Director, aren't you supposed to be Director? Why are you touching someone's hand?"

"What are you saying? Are you implying that I'm engaging in any underhanded dealings Boss? I'm a gentleman, you're the one trying to take Boss of me!"

"Boss, you figured that out! You're so smart!"

Keep exploring and keep guiding.

"Boss, they'd appreciate your guidance!"

"Xu Yu, guidance is guidance, but why are you putting your hand on my leg, the Director's leg?"

Xu Yi said seriously, and then pressed Xu Yu's hand down onto his leg.

[Negative emotions +100]

Brother Guan Xi truly deserves to be called a master in the photography world. This field is indeed unfathomable and well worth studying!

Xu Yu looked at Xu Yi with a resentful expression. She had made her feelings so obvious, why wasn't Xu Yi taking the initiative?

Xu Yi gave her acting opportunities, helped her teach her parasitic brother and her sexist mother a lesson, and now he's even showing such amazing Director skills. She'd be willing to pay him to do it.

Xu Yu's resentful expression drove everyone in the Livestream Room crazy.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

"You beast! The world is going to the dogs, it's simply... Please let me handle this!"

At night, Du Rufeng, who had been busy all day, finally returned to the Villa.

Because Xu Yi swindled him out of 100 million yuan, causing serious losses in the company's accounts, even though he still had money, he started working like a slave to the company, trying to save as much as possible.

Yingbu Entertainment had been preparing for a grand event in Magic City's entertainment industry for several months, fully sponsoring it, but it wasn't a free lunch.

Du Rufeng has many internet celebrities under his management, but the real good resources in the entertainment industry are not something he can control alone.

So they decided to organize a gala to promote their own people and see if they could get in touch with a famous Director.

During his break, Du Rufeng turned on his phone to see what popular live streams were on.

Um?

What is this Livestream Room? Why is it so lively?

Holy crap, isn't this Xu Yi's Livestream Room?

Huang Lu, Du Rufeng's older cousin, had already told Xu Yi about her background, so Xu Yi noticed Du Rufeng as soon as she entered the Livestream Room and immediately connected with her.

"Xu Yi, is this your Livestream Room? What are you up to?"

Du Rufeng asked instinctively.

"Dear viewers, our top supporter has joined the Livestream Room! Let's give them a warm welcome and thank them for their 100 million top supporter in filming funding!"

Before Du Rufeng could finish speaking, he heard Xu Yi's introduction and immediately choked, almost spitting blood.

He was swindled out of 100 million by Xu Yi, which is why he couldn't bear to hire more outsourcing companies, exhausting himself to the point of almost vomiting blood.

As a result, he worked himself to the bone like a slave, while Xu Yi was here being served beautiful women, eating fruit, and using his money to Director and indulge his acting fantasies?

[Negative emotions +500]

Du Rufeng subconsciously took a deep breath to keep himself from cursing out loud.

Seeing the system notification, Xu Yi chuckled and swallowed a piece of fruit that Xu Yu handed him.

"Mmm, delicious... Young Master Du, good evening?"

Xu Yi swallowed the fruit and shook his head. Xu Yu brought him a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"Boss, is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll feed you."

Du Rufeng's lips twitched.

[Negative emotions +100]

After working yourself to the bone all day, what could be more disheartening than seeing your rival living a life of luxury?

Have!

That means every penny your opponent spends comes from you!

Are you even human?

Knowing I'm the top supporter, this is how they treat the big Boss, even making the child Actor feed him personally—it's absolutely infuriating!

Why?

Why did I impulsively click into this Livestream Room and agree to connect with him?

[Negative emotions +100]

Xu Yi's words completely ignited the Livestream Room's comments!

"Holy crap, a sponsorship of 100 million! This guy is incredibly generous!"

"Hey, isn't that the Boss of Yingbu Entertainment? He's a competitor of Xu Yi's Yi Xing Entertainment, right? Why would he sponsor Xu Yi?"

Is this what they call mutual appreciation?

After all, not everyone watches the Livestream Room every day, so they were unaware of the conflict between Xu Yi and Du Rufeng.

Looking at the praises on the screen, Du Rufeng felt like a resentful old woman, wishing she could slap herself.

He'd rather be a slave than connect with Xu Yi via livestream!
