Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Chapter 102: Getting beaten up, then having incredible luck and getting a roll of the eyes.

There are also two zombie projects and the "High School Girls" series, which need to be filmed and edited by the end of this year.

It will be difficult to broadcast if it's any later, unless it's drastically modified and completely changed.

Shen Ci kept urging the progress of these three projects every few days, which almost drove his subordinates to the brink of collapse.

The production of "High School Girls" is progressing quite smoothly. After Qin Zhen was confirmed as the director, Li Eryun met with her today.

"Your boss actually adapted 'The High School Girls'? I read that work back in the year 2000."

"I will definitely put my heart into filming!"

Qin Zhen stirred her coffee, elegantly picked up the cup, took a sip, and then gently wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"I'm very relieved to have this project entrusted to Director Qin!" Li Eryun said politely.

Qin Zhen looked at Li Eryun and said seriously, "I will treat it like a child, and I'm not just being polite. I've always really wanted to make a film of this kind."

"6

""

Upon hearing this, Li Eryun gave an awkward smile.

She had only met Qin Zhen once, and she hadn't realized before that he had such a slightly pretentious, artistic side.

Qin Zhen continued, seemingly oblivious to her own thoughts: "The feelings between lilies are much more sincere than those between men and women, and the scenes are the most beautiful."

Hearing this, Li Eryun understood a bit, and calmly picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

No wonder, so she's a lesbian!

"Mr. Li, have the female leads for the various episodes been decided?"

"Not yet, our boss plans to finalize it himself."

"Oh, so it's a canary~"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes. She really wanted to find a real lesbian to play the role, because that would make the film feel more authentic.

"Uh..." Li Eryun selectively ignored that sentence, raised her coffee cup, and said, "Director Qin, I'm leaving the project to you."

Qin Zhen clinked glasses with her, his gaze sweeping over Li Eryun from head to toe: "It's nothing, President Li. Your skin is so nice, it's—"

""

Upon hearing this, Li Eryun made an excuse and hurriedly took her leave; she was a completely straight woman.

Speaking of Shen Ci's so-called "canary," Zhang Ruonan is currently the only one who can be considered one.

Not counting Naza, Shen Ci hasn't assigned anyone a single project yet.

If this gets out, Shen Ci will be accused of double standards.

After returning to school from filming "Fang Da Chu", Xiao Baiyan became a popular figure in the entire school.

Both teachers and students know that Wang Churan has acted in a TV series and signed with a company.

Wang Churan was extremely proud. The curious gazes and inquiries from her teachers and classmates made her feel like she was the center of attention.

This was the taste she had always dreamed of!

This made Wang Churan even more eager to show off, and she directly carried her designer handbag to school as a schoolbag.

Now, as soon as the break time arrived, female classmates and students from other classes would flock to Wang Churan's seat.

This behavior aroused dissatisfaction among some people, and soon someone reported the matter to the homeroom teacher.

"Chu Ran's mother, Wang Chu Ran's behavior is extremely bad. What if the bag gets damaged accidentally?"

"Showing off designer bags at school may create unnecessary competitive mentality among other students."

'

""

Wang Haiyan held her phone and nodded repeatedly, her tone full of apology. After much persuasion, the homeroom teacher finally stopped pursuing the matter.

Xiaobaiyan heard the phone call end and quickly turned her head back to face the wall, where her mother was punishing her by making her stand facing the wall as punishment.

Wang Haiyan, holding her phone, walked over to Wang Churan and reached out to pat her head.

"You should be studying hard at school. What are you doing bringing a bag to school? My homeroom teacher called me!"

"Mom~" Wang Churan turned around and looked at Wang Haiyan pitifully, "Someone snitched to the homeroom teacher."

Wang Haiyan's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "Did I say that? Stand still!!"

Wang Churan was so frightened that she quickly turned her head back to the wall. She felt extremely wronged, her nose tingled, and she almost cried.

"If you're like this at school, will you be even more disobedient when we're filming and I'm not around?"

Wang Haiyan said earnestly.

She loves her daughter very much and has always tried her best to support her development. She can't bear to scold or hit her.

"I don't want to go to school!" Wang Churan muttered, then added, "No one will tattle when we're filming."

Wang Haiyan was both amused and annoyed, and said, "Really?"

Wang Churan looked at her mother and said confidently, "I'm someone hired by President Shen Ci... Who dares to bully me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haiyan's face darkened.

"I've never hit you? You think I wouldn't dare to hit you?"

As Wang Haiyan spoke, she glanced at the balcony, then quickly walked over and picked up a clothes hanger.

Wang Churan turned pale with fright and cried out, "Mom!"

"Stand still!" Wang Haiyan strode over to Wang Churan, swung the clothes hanger, and slapped Xiao Baiyan's butt.

"Mother!!!"

Wang Churan cried out in pain; she hadn't expected her mother to actually hit her this time.

Seeing that Wang Haiyan still wanted to continue fighting, Wang Churan turned around and ran back to the bedroom in a flash, closing the door behind her.

"Mom, I hate you! Why did you hit me?!"

Wang Churan cried out to Wang Haiyan through the door.

Hearing her daughter crying, Wang Haiyan felt heartbroken. She walked to the sofa, sat down, and sighed heavily.

She was genuinely worried that her daughter's values ​​might be skewed, and even more afraid that she might develop a "having someone to rely on" mentality.

After aborting the child, Wang Haiyan felt a pang of remorse.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Chu Han to ask if there were any suitable projects for her daughter.

Wang Haiyan knew Wang Churan's personality; once this child got angry, he might stay angry for a month.

If we could find her a filming project to distract her, maybe her anger would subside.

Chu Han received the call and felt a wave of helplessness.

Wajiji is currently focusing on its idol business and hasn't paid much attention to Zhang Ruonan and Wang Churan.

If these two girls want the project, they will most likely talk to Shen Ci directly.

Ultimately, the two of them were just affiliated with Wajiji, and no one at Wajiji dared to offend them easily.

Meanwhile, Shen Ci was meeting with Kong Sheng, the director of "The Long Road," in his office.

The audition for "The Long Journey" was on the 20th. In just a few days, he took the opportunity to meet with Kong Sheng and discuss the project.

"Mr. Shen, if you have no objections to the filming location, then let's set it for Xishuangbanna, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's go with that place."

Shen Ci browsed through the information about the filming location and thought the conditions were good.

"What are Director Kong's thoughts on the audition on the 20th?"

With the filming location confirmed, Shen Ci's biggest concern now is the casting.

The male lead, Fan Wei, has been confirmed, but the other roles are still undecided.

Upon hearing Shen Ci's question, Kong Sheng perked up and began to give a long and detailed recommendation.

He rattled off four or five names in one breath, all of whom were veteran actors with rich acting experience but not much fame.

After he finished speaking, he emphasized, "Their acting skills are all excellent, and their salary demands are not high."

Of the people Kong Sheng mentioned, Shen Ci only remembered one or two; he had only heard their names.

"Send invitations to all of them." Shen Ci nodded, having little objection to the recommended candidates.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Director Kong, do you have any suitable recommendations for the role of Shen Mo?"

The character "Shenmo" is crucial in "The Long" and is quite a challenging role.

"Mr. Shen, what are your thoughts on this role?"

Kong Sheng, being a seasoned veteran, naturally wouldn't make decisions about the young female lead on his own.

Shen Ci thought to herself, "If I had an idea, I would have made a decision long ago!"

He didn't consider any of the girls, including Zhang Ruonan, Li Yitong, and Nazha, for this role.

Just as Shen Ci was about to respond to Kong Sheng, his phone, which was on his desk, suddenly rang.

Shen Ci glanced at the caller ID; it was Long Danni calling. He gestured to Kong Sheng, then answered the phone.

"Mr. Shen, am I disturbing you?"

"What is it? I'm talking to someone, hurry up and tell me."

"Here's what happened. I received a report from Chu Han that Ms. Wang Haiyan called her to inquire about the project."

Shen Ci didn't care who Chu Han was; his attention was completely drawn to what followed.

The little eye roll means he wants to act!

Shen Ci thought to himself, then looked at Kong Sheng.

"What kind of character is Shen Mo again?"

"Cool and beautiful, gentle on the outside but ruthless on the inside!"

Upon hearing this description, Shen Ci snapped his fingers and said to Long Danny on the other end of the phone, "We have a project."

Danny Long on the other end of the phone was taken aback, thinking to himself, "This guy is being way too pretentious."

It has to be said that this phone call came at a really good time.

Xiao Baiyan has delicate features and a well-proportioned bone structure, giving him an innate aloof and cool demeanor.

The character "Shenmo" in "The Long" looks quite similar to him, and his personality is inherently repressed and sensitive.

Wang Churan has light-colored eyebrows and eyes, and doesn't have the typical sweet girl face.

Instead, she carried a hint of melancholy, giving her the air of a girl with a tragic fate.

The more Shen Ci thought about it, the more he felt that Wang Churan was suitable for the role.

Oh, you little eye roll! Your brother is so good to you, you'd better repay him properly in the future!
