Huayu: Rising from Tencent

For the second female lead role in "Fang Da Chu", Li Eryun selected an actress named Zhu Jiaxi.

Shen Ci didn't have any particular impression of this person.

However, considering that the role's screen time is limited, since it has already been decided, so be it.

After browsing through all the emails, he was about to close the page when his gaze inadvertently fell on the supplementary list at the bottom of the emails.

This list meticulously details all the artists who auditioned.

Li Eryun had considered everything very thoroughly and even made special notes on the entire list.

Shen Ci's gaze darted around casually, and suddenly, a very familiar name caught his eye.

He was taken aback and quickly looked closer to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

"Why is she here for an interview?"

Looking at the name "Wang Churan" on the list, Shen Ci couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question.

Shen Ci's memory of the future infamous "White Porridge Sister" and "Eye-Rolling Girl" was extremely vivid.

This Wang Churan is only 15 years old, right?

Curiosity instantly surged in Shen Ci's heart, and he began to search through the emails.

After searching for a while, I finally found the list of auditioning artists, located Wang Churan's profile, and clicked on it.

A photo of Wang Churan appeared on the screen.

Shen Ci looked at the photo and was secretly amazed. This girl with the rolled-eyes has grown up so much?

Aside from the slight immaturity on his face, his appearance is not much different from what he will look like in the future.

Especially her distinctive nose, which is very striking.

Shen Ci carefully reviewed Wang Churan's information again, then picked up his phone and dialed Li Eryun's number.

Less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the office door, and Li Eryun walked in, respectfully saying, "President Shen!!"

"You've met Wang Churan?" Shen Ci asked.

Li Eryun nodded, recalling the image of the young girl from her previous audition.

"I've seen her. She's very beautiful and has a great height. Mr. Shen, do you know her?"

Shen Ci shook his head, then asked, "How's her acting? Is it passable?"

Li Eryun hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's alright..."

In fact, in her memory, Wang Churan hardly showed any acting skills during the audition.

"I see," Shen Ci drawled, then asked knowingly, "How did you get rejected?"

Upon hearing this, Li Eryun explained earnestly:

"She's too young, which might cause a lot of inconvenience and problems during filming."

Shen Ci could not completely deny this statement.

However, he found it strangely interesting to suddenly encounter this "eye-rolling girl" who would become quite a topic of conversation in the future.

"What film crew doesn't have a lot going on?"

Immediately, Shen Ci's tone became serious: "It's her. I'll contact her now."

"Okay, I'll call them right away." Li Eryun agreed verbally, but in her heart she wasn't very optimistic about the matter.

Since the leader had already given the order, as a subordinate, she could only obey and carry it out.

She couldn't help but wonder, why was Shen Ci suddenly speaking up for her when he clearly didn't know Wang Churan?

This inevitably reminded her of Zhang Ruonan.

Just as he thought of this, Lear shook his head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts.

Speaking of Wang Churan, she started learning to dance at a young age and frequently appeared on television programs.

She was absolutely fascinated by the feeling of standing in front of the camera and being the center of attention and discussion.

Participating in the audition for "Fang Da Chu" was a completely new experience for her.

She was both excited and full of anticipation, desperately hoping that she would be chosen.

She truly, deeply yearns to become a star!

Imagination is always beautiful, but on the day of the audition, Wang Churan received the result of being rejected.

Even now, she still harbors a grudge: how come she can't be selected when she's so beautiful?

Today is Friday. As soon as school was over, Wang Churan went home, turned on the TV, and started watching variety shows with great interest.

Wang Churan's mother, Wang Haiyan, was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Seeing her daughter like this, she couldn't help but say:

"Do your homework first, then look at the answers."

"Okay, okay..."

Wang Churan gave a perfunctory reply, but his body seemed glued to the sofa, remaining completely still.

Wang Haiyan shook her head and didn't say anything more. After divorcing Wang Churan's father, she raised her child alone.

Because he felt sorry for the child who lacked a father's love, he always doted on Wang Churan.

Over time, as the child grows up, they become somewhat willful and disobedient.

"Beep beep beep..."

Wang Haiyan's cell phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.

She quickly put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands on her apron, and then answered the phone.

"Hello, are you Wang Churan's mother?"

"Yes, that's me. And who are you?"

"I'm from the production team of 'Chef Fang.' Wang Churan came to audition here, and we thought her performance was very good..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Haiyan leaned into the living room and looked at her daughter, who was laughing heartily in front of the television.

"Didn't you lose the election?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Gong Yuhan. After a moment's thought, he told a lie.

To be honest, parents will inevitably have doubts...

"The originally cast second female lead suddenly backed out because she found a better project. Ms. Wang should be able to understand, right?"

Gong Yuhan paused for a moment, then continued:

"Wang Churan's audition was excellent, and he was a good fit for the role in the drama. He was originally our second choice."

Wang Haiyan didn't suspect anything and asked, "If Chu Ran is selected, what exactly should be done?"

Gong Yuhan explained the relevant procedures in detail, informing Wang Haiyan that she needed to bring Wang Churan to Beijing, etc.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Haiyan went to the living room, picked up the remote control, and turned down the TV volume.

"Mom, what are you doing?!" Wang Churan's face showed obvious dissatisfaction as she muttered in a spoiled tone.

Wang Haiyan ignored her little temper and said, "The production team you auditioned for has hired you."

Wang Churan sprang up from the sofa like a spring, her face beaming with excitement, and exclaimed, "Really?"

At this moment, Wang Churan was overjoyed. She felt that the crew finally had good taste!

She's so beautiful, yet she didn't get selected before...

It's like a pearl being buried in dust!

Li Eryun handled the task assigned by Shen Ci quickly, arriving at Shen Ci's office to report to him in less than an hour.

As for Zhu Jiaxi, she can only accept her bad luck. In the entertainment industry, a realistic arena of fame and fortune, such things are commonplace.

After Li Eryun finished her report, she turned and left.

A short while later, Lin Xin arrived at Shen Ci's office again.

She helped Zhang Ruonan complete the contract signing and script handover, and then took Zhang Ruonan back to the hotel.

Upon hearing the report, Shen Ci looked down at his phone. Zhang Ruonan had sent a message informing him that he had returned to the hotel.

"Please arrange a car," Shen Ci said, putting down his phone and looking up.

Lin Xin responded softly, then turned and went out to call the driver.

After "Seven" returned to the hotel, Shen Ci thought about going to see her.

After all, she was alone in this unfamiliar city, so it was inevitable that she would feel lonely.

If Naza hadn't been in the capital yesterday, he would have gone there yesterday. However, going today isn't too late.
