Huayu: Once You Meet the Devil Child, You Spend Your Life Wrong

At the end of 2010, the massive "ten-thousand-person" casting call for "Yu Ji" was in full swing, and Dilraba, a first-year student newly enrolled at Shanghai Theatre Academy, was one of that ten-thousandth.

After her classmates heard the news, waves of envy and jealousy surged in.

"You'll get to see Yan Zu, and you can also act as the woman she loves most. Reba, you can do it! Go for it, go for it!"

"A big director and a big production, I'm so jealous of you, Reba."

"I heard that for this kind of big-production casting, newcomers are just there to make up the numbers."

"Sis Ba, take me to see the world, will you? I'll be your assistant, no pay needed, just feed me."

Amid the chorus of fake praise, the sensitive heart hidden beneath Reba's youthful exotic features also became more confident.

Just then, a very discordant voice rang out: "For the Yu Ji casting call, even dogs wouldn't go!"

From then on, Shanghai Theatre Academy produced an unrestrained, history-making great director Tang Tang, and a dazzling international superstar Dilraba.

At first, the media nicknamed Tang Tang the "Demon Child of Modu." The actresses who worked with him rose in status, won awards, and high-end luxury brands rushed to court them.

The media also called him the yeast that creates CP chemistry and the man standing in front of Reba.

He, however, always insisted: "Whether I'm there or not, she was destined to become an international superstar sooner or later."

Selected excerpts from the Demon Child's sayings:

"For the Yu Ji casting call, even dogs wouldn't go. Yes, I said that!"

"You picked her for "Hong Kong Disappointment"? Then good luck to you."

"Hengdada Taobao definitely can't make a profit, but Hengda might, and Taobao might!"

"I don't need friends. In front of fame and fortune, they're the ones who can't do without me!"
