Such cliché plots and melodramatic three-act structures, how do they think audiences would enjoy that stuff? Should I take this mug, honey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia was helping Lu Yang pack while constantly complaining about her recent experiences, resembling quite the dutiful wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang kept nodding, occasionally chiming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To all the men out there, when your girlfriend is ranting to you, what she absolutely doesn’t want is for you to deeply analyze the matter; instead, she’d prefer sounds like \"Hmm! Ah! Oh! Uh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a crucial reason why Lu Yang and Sofia’s relationship is so harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I being unreasonable?\" Sofia suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a moment of hesitation, Lu Yang replied, \"Of course not! I’m always happy to hear you share your life and work with me. Always.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blissful smile spread across Sofia’s face, \"You’re always so thoughtful, Lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, Lu Yang hadn’t moved his feet at all; Sofia not only packed everything for him but also thought Lu Yang was very considerate... this is a good man in a woman’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Lu Yang was just recalling some scenes from Zenit St. Petersburg matches he’d watched, occasionally nodding to appease Sofia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this doesn’t mean Lu Yang doesn’t value Sofia, it’s just that... the problems Sofia encounters are not challenging for Lu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the luggage was packed, Sofia personally drove Lu Yang to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Lu Yang was supposed to go to the club first to meet his teammates, then take the team bus to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to have more time with Sofia, Lu Yang requested to go directly to the airport from Sotu, and Sotu approved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others like Morici, who have stable partners, enjoyed the same privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Naji, the party king, who must head to the club early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For single folks like Bai Zhami and Fernandez, it was even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a very considerate side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Lu Yang continued to listen to Sofia’s complaints while driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning eighteen, he could drive; his driving skills were decent, often making Sofia scream and exclaim she couldn’t take it, occasionally making her retch, or feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think, since ’The Invisible Guest’ was a success, you might as well gradually transition from that, rather than... going for a one-step change.\" Lu Yang basically understood Sofia’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Invisible Guest’ is essentially a low-budget suspense film, with a hint of crime investigation elements, although there’s hardly any involvement with police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a niche category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real major categories would be romance, action, and sci-fi films.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia is currently in talks with Hollywood, receiving plenty of offers from over there; she herself hopes to conquer the global market through Hollywood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already has a high position, and now she has ample start-up funds and massive traffic, so she doesn’t need to worry about being hindered by the environment there, nor about any unwritten rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dirtiness of Hollywood is more about the weaker party willingly climbing into bed with the stronger party for fame and opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actual bullying scenarios aren’t nonexistent, but rare, and certainly wouldn’t happen to a star of Sofia’s caliber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scripts handed over from Hollywood weren’t to Sofia’s satisfaction; the stories were too cheesy, unlike what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the art films were too arty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia now hopes to capture both commercial and artistic success, achieving multiple dimensions of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, ’The Invisible Guest’ is such a multi-success film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple concerns intertwined, this is what has been consuming Sofia’s energy lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the results were not optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ease Sofia’s mental stress, Lu Yang said, \"Actually, I have a new idea that I think fits you well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of genre, it’s a romance, a film revealing exaggerated emotional life, but in essence, it’s also a brain-teasing film linked to suspense and crime investigation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, it not only retains your previous work’s fan base but also steps closer to the major genres you’re aiming for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And most importantly, it’s also a leading lady film; I believe you can interpret it perfectly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia was taken aback, turning her head to look at Lu Yang driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight glistened on Lu Yang’s face, he looked so handsome at that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s this feeling; Sofia felt her heart almost jumping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with Lu Yang does she have this kind of heart-throbbing and sweet feeling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only is he playing soccer, but he’s also concerned and considering her matters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia was utterly certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smooch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia’s fiery red lips left a mark on Lu Yang’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang was driving, unable to make avoidance movements, he accepted it calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you to death!\" Sofia whispered in Lu Yang’s ear, her hand slowly moved towards Lu Yang’s thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the car swayed slightly on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yang hit the brakes, pulling over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too dangerous, Sofia!\" Lu Yang’s face was completely red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia had an inexplicable sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She admitted, she kind of lost control a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, as long as she’s with Lu Yang, she’s always liable to lose control.\u003C\u002Fp>",877,"2026-06-06T13:45:17.999Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd49e791c574cd8108df9b09ac9c5eea3504242601d69304a841afbf40ff5efd","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-550","i-am-the-football-star-chapter-548",836,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-football-star-cover.jpg"]
