A writer has arrived in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 103 The Two Gods of the Mainland

The next day, An Wenxiu took Xiao Liu to meet Li Fei, who was also in Yanjing. Shanghai Film Group would naturally not be absent from this promotional event for China Film Group.

Su Liu accompanied Chen Duling and her mother to the headquarters of Guangming on Hepingli East Street.

They were greeted by a middle-aged woman with bangs. She had a gentle and subtle smile on her lips, giving off a friendly and approachable vibe.

She spotted Chen Duling among the three almost immediately, then quickly walked over, her voice gentle, "Duling, it's great to finally meet you."

Chen Duling was still a little timid when facing strangers. Looking at the woman in front of her, she hesitated before speaking, "Are you... Teacher Xue Man?"

"It's me." Rao Xue nodded generously, her gaze lingering on the delicate face for a moment before she let out a heartfelt exclamation, "You're even more lively and beautiful than in the photos. You're exactly the little ear I've been looking for."

Chen Duling was a little shy from the praise and didn't know how to respond for a moment. She leaned half a step closer to Su Liu as if seeking help.

Rao Xueman then looked at Chen's mother beside her and warmly extended her hand, "You must be Du Ling's mother? Hello, hello, I really envy you for having such a wonderful daughter."

Mrs. Chen responded politely. As the two exchanged pleasantries, Rao Xueman's eyes frequently glanced in Su Liu's direction.

The young man in front of me had his hands in his pockets and stood casually, but his handsome and refined appearance was truly eye-catching.

He exuded an indescribable aura, possessing both the innocence of youth and a detachment far beyond his years, giving the impression that he cared nothing for anything in the world.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Is this student... also a family member?"

Family members? What family members?! Chen Duling, who was still in a daze, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this.

Su Liu was quite generous, taking a step forward and saying in a calm tone, "I'm Dudu's friend, I came with her."

"Oh, let's go inside first, Dudu, I'll take you to meet the director."

Rao Xueman led the three to Building No. 3 of the Guangxian headquarters, and they went up to a small conference room on the third floor.

It seems like they're casting here; there are some young actors standing in the hallway holding their resumes.

"Um... classmate?" While they were walking, Rao Xueman suddenly asked Su Liu, "Are you interested in acting in movies?"

Her words surprised both Chen Duling and her mother. Su Liu herself was also taken aback for a moment.

Seeing that no one responded, Rao Xueman continued, "Classmate, with your looks, it's a shame you're not a movie star. How about it? There's a role in my film that would suit you perfectly, want to give it a try?"

Chen Duling stood to the side, pursing her lips, wanting to laugh but forcibly holding it back, thinking to herself that if Su Liu really went to audition, it would probably shock a lot of people.

As an elder, Chen's mother felt that if she didn't step in at this scene, Su Liu might be dragged onto the camera by this enthusiastic writer.

So she smiled gently and softly advised, "Ms. Xueman, I think he probably doesn't intend to become an actor."

.

"No way, this is such a great opportunity!" Rao Xueman was clearly still hopeful, and said earnestly to Su Liuyou, "With your looks, you're sure to become an overnight sensation. Really, don't you want to consider it?"

"Teacher Xueman," Su Liu said with a smile, "Acting is out of the question. I can't do it, and I'm not interested in it."

"Oh! That's such a pity."

Rao Xue sighed, her face full of regret, but she had no intention of giving up. She thought she would ask director Su Youpeng to help persuade her later.

She sighed inwardly, lamenting how unsuccessful she had been in casting. Before Chen Duling, she had tried to invite Zhang Zetian, known as "Milk Tea Sister," to play Xiao Erduo, but was rejected several times.

As the group talked, they arrived at the door of the small conference room.

Rao Xue slowly pushed open the door and quietly led the three people into the room. At that moment, actors were auditioning in the room, so she led Su Liu and the others around the edge of the conference room toward the main seat.

Several people were seated at the head of the table. In the very center was director Su Youpeng, with the executive producer from Enlight Media and the assistant director in charge of casting sitting next to him.

The room was dimly lit, with only the bright light from the audition area. Su Youpeng was focused on the monitor, not looking up, but when he noticed Rao Xueman returning, he said, "Teacher Xueman, what do you think of the quality of this group?"

Rao Xueman gently patted his shoulder and whispered, "Director Su, come and see our little ear."

Su Youpeng then turned his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone before landing on Chen Duling.

He immediately stood up, smiled, and said, "Chen Duling, right? Hello, I'm Su Youpeng. You truly are the person that Teacher Xueman couldn't forget; your temperament is just like Xiao Erduo stepping out of the book."

"Hello... Director Su." Chen Duling leaned against Su Liu and replied politely, her expression still carrying a hint of student-like shyness.

Su Youpeng nodded and then politely exchanged a few more pleasantries with Chen's mother, which eased the atmosphere considerably.

Immediately afterwards, Rao Xue raised her voice and brought up the old topic again, "Director Su, it's not just Little Ears, take a look at this student too."

She pointed to Su Liu beside her, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Look at his appearance, doesn't he look exactly like Xu Yi?"

Upon hearing this, Su Youpeng finally took a good look at Su Liu. He pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over Su Liu's face several times before his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

His voice suddenly rose, and he turned to Rao Xueman, his tone somewhat out of control, asking, "You want him to play Xu Yi?"

Rao Xueman was taken aback by this sudden reaction and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

"Oh!" Su Youpeng slapped his thigh and quickly stepped forward, extending his hand enthusiastically to Su Liu. "Teacher Su, the renowned genius of deduction, what brings you here?"

The title of "God of Deduction" has been used so many times that the initial sense of shame has completely disappeared.

Su Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Humans are truly creatures controlled by their habits."

He shook Su Youpeng's hand and said with a smile, "I'm Dudu's friend, I came with her to take a look."

Rao Xueman, standing beside her, still looked bewildered, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Seeing this, Su Youpeng quickly explained, "Teacher Xueman, he's in the same profession as you."

"Companions?"

"Yes, his novels are very popular in our Taiwan Strait province." Su Youpeng's tone was filled with undisguised admiration. "And you must have heard of the movie 'Knives Out' that aired during the Spring Festival, right? He directed it."

"Oh—" Rao Xueman looked like she suddenly understood. Although she didn't like watching suspense movies, she had heard of the movie that held the third spot at the box office during the Spring Festival and received rave reviews.

"Oh dear, I was hoping to ask you to act in a movie, but I'm so sorry." Rao Xueman slapped her forehead somewhat awkwardly, revealing an embarrassed smile.

"Haha, Ms. Xueman, if I weren't completely clueless about acting, I'd really like to give it a try." Su Liu went along with it, his tone light and cheerful, like a gossip-loving bystander.

"Why don't we actually give it a try?"

Rao Xueman still hadn't given up.

Su Liu paused, his lips twitching slightly, "...This...hahaha." He chuckled as he subtly took a half-step back behind Chen Duling.

Chen Duling had been feeling smug and proud listening to Su Youpeng's praise of Su Liu. But now, seeing his embarrassed and humiliated expression, she secretly chuckled, as if she wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

Before Rao Xueman could continue speaking, the conference room door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in quickly with a young man.

"Ms. Xueman, Director Su." The middle-aged man spoke before he had even stood still, his tone businesslike and efficient. "Tianyu Entertainment has sent over someone. Give him a tryout."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze swept over Su Liu beside him, and a surprised smile instantly appeared on his face. "Oh my, President Su, what are you doing here? You've come all this way without even saying hello."

The visitor was Liu Tong, the vice president of Enlight Media.

"Mr. Liu, I'm here to attend China Film Group's promotional event. I also came with a friend to take a look around."

"Oh, about that. Mr. Su, I have to warn you, this promotional event might not be a good thing."

Su Liu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Liu Tong chuckled, patted Su Liu on the shoulder, and gestured for him to come in: "Come on, Mr. Su. Let's talk in my office." He stepped aside, gesturing for the young man behind him to step forward. "Ms. Xue Man, Director Su, I'm leaving the person in your care."

"Dudu, Auntie, I'll be leaving for a bit."

Su Liu gave the two a few instructions, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the young man. That's right, it was that god of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Well, now the god of deduction and the god of entertainment have finally met.
