Shana didn't expect that Lu Man would contact her.
They had been participants in an ordinary competition.
When Lu Man moved back home, the two rarely contacted each other.
But thankfully, the two had added each other as friends on this chatting app that Shana used often.
When the time was right, considering Shana's time zone, Lu Man contacted Shana.
Instead of beating around the bush, Lu Man was straight to the point as she asked, "Shana, can you help me promote a movie?"
Shana replied, "…Do I know you well?"
Lu Man smiled and replied, "What do you mean we don't know each other well? We were classmates, and we were in the same competition."
Shana replied, "…"
She didn't expect Lu Man to be even more shameless than she had been in the past.
"What movie?" Shana felt puzzled as she asked, "Are you asking me to promote it for your husband's company?"
Initially, Shana thought Lu Man has no relation to any Hollywood movie.
However, she thought about it and realized that the Han Corporation, the company owned by Lu Man's husband, had some influence in Hollywood.
Han Corporation had been participating in many movies that did pretty well.
As Shana thought about this, she didn't think it was weird anymore.
She thought there would be a new Hollywood movie made by the Han Corporation that would soon be released.
Shana never really paid any attention to the movies made by any companies.
She had just filmed a season of the TV show and was enjoying her vacation.
There were more and more movie actors and actresses filming TV shows.
It was the same with Shana.
Of course, she was making movies as well.
When she wasn't working, she would go on vacation and travel around with her friends.
At this moment, Lu Man replied, "It's my brother. He just made a new movie. Have you heard of the movie 'Dimensions?'
"I don't know." Shana hadn't even figured out the plot of the movie she was filming. Obviously, she had no idea what movie Lu Man was talking about.Lu Man immediately replied, "Let me tell you. My little brother—"
"Wait. Isn't your brother still really young? Has he even completed kindergarten yet? Can he make movies?" Shana complained, "Do you think I am dumb?"
It wasn't that she paid any attention to Lu Man.
Wang Juhuai was famous all over the world.
The announcement of Wang Juhuai's marriage was reported in every country's news.
When his son was born, it was also reported in every country's news.
Therefore, Shana knew that Lu Man's little brother was very young.
Lu Man explained, "It is my husband's younger brother."
Shana replied, "Oh."
"He directed a sci-fi film that received great reviews and did well at the box office here. Just based on its domestic box office, it should be able to enter the global top 100 box office rankings," said Lu Man.
Shana had never seen the movie before, so she held back her opinion.
After all, there was a significant difference in the level of films between the two countries.
Movies that did well at the box office in Lu Man's country might not do well in Hollywood.
Lu Man then said, "We want to release 'Dimensions' overseas and show it in various countries. I was then reminded of you, my old friend in Hollywood."
"Who's your old friend?!" Shana replied in an annoyed tone.
When did she become Lu Man's old friend? She didn't even know!
"You're so cunning." Shana said, "You just want me to help you promote the movie. That's why you are so nice to me now."
"Am I that kind of person?" Lu Man said, "Do I need to be? With Han Corporation's current influence in Hollywood and with a strong promotion, it's hard to say whether 'Dimension' will be a huge success or not, but it won't be a failure either!"action
When Shana heard that, she thought it was reasonable.
But then, Shana felt alert.
She almost got brainwashed by Lu Man again.
Be wise and stay away from Lu Man!
"But with the endorsement of an idol, the promotion will definitely be better," Lu Man said.
It meant that movie was approved by an idol. An idol had reviewed the movie and said it was good.
Shana's fans would definitely watch it, too."When is it being released?" Shana asked.
"The releasing schedule will start the midnight on Friday there," Lu Man said.
"This film is really good. Let me tell you. I'm not biased because this movie was made by my little brother. I reviewed the movie objectively. I truly believe that even if 'Dimension' were to be released in the land of Hollywood movies, it would be able to stand out."
"Just help mention it on social media. It won't ruin your reputation." Lu Man said.
Shana was at a loss with Lu Man. She said, "I can promote it, but I have to watch it first."
"I have to make sure that it is good before I promote it for you." Shana added, "I will promote it as a friend. But if the movie isn't good, I won't be promoting it. No matter what you say, I won't promote it. I can't lie to my fans, after all."
Lu Man smiled and said, "Of course! If you do think it's good after you have watched it, then post a normal review."
"I have faith in the movie 'Dimensions.' Lu Man said with confidence, "In my country, many people have watched it multiple times. They understood the entire plot and the logic of the movie."
"Although this film's story logic has some flaws, I haven't found any flaws yet with my level of intelligence."
"The audience has to watch it multiple times to understand the meaning," Lu Man said.
"Although you say so, I haven't watched the movie yet, so I won't make a decision quickly." Shana said, "In addition, the audiences might have watched the movie many times because they support locally made movies."
"It was rare to see a high-quality movie made locally. Of course, they would show more support and encouragement to the director and the cast members." Shana said.
Lu Man nodded in agreement. "Your points are valid. Anyway, just watch it."
"I got it." Shana finally agreed.
Lu Man was extremely happy. "Aiyo, Shana! I knew it! You might act arrogantly, but you are such a sweetheart."
Shana felt grossed out at the compliment.
"If you continue saying such disgusting things, I won't help you out anymore!" Shana said angrily.
Lu Man couldn't see the other end of the phone, but Shana had actually blushed.
Who was Lu Man calling a sweetheart?!

Han Zhuofeng took Xie Jiling home.
Of course, they didn't go back to the family home. They went back to the house in the city area that Han Zhuoling had given to Han Zhuofeng.
After leaving with Han Zhuofeng, Xie Jiling didn't go back to campus that night.
She was like a sheep that had entered the wolf's den.
Ren Linna and the other two waited until the dormitory building was locked up. Still, Xie Jiling was nowhere to be seen.
They then knew that Xie Jiling would not return tonight.
She wouldn't return tonight. In fact, she could be eaten up tonight.
Even her bones might not be spared.
The three discussed in the dorm room. Eventually, Kuang Xiaorou suggested. "We can send her a message in the group chat."
