Huayu: I am the manager of Xiaohua (a popular Chinese entertainment company).

Chapter 96 Ninefold Purple Starts Filming X Sister Meng: You're Hurting Me!

I got up, yawned, put on my bag, and reached for my phone to look at it.

As she looked at it, she gently scratched her face, and a little while later, she got up to put on makeup.

A little while later, her phone rang. She quickly picked it up and it was her assistant, whom the company had assigned to her, calling to tell her that she had arrived downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Bao Shangen quickly changed her clothes, went downstairs, got into her car, and headed to the studio.

At this moment, Li Han and Tian Xiwei had not yet arrived at the studio, but their agent Zhang Kai had.

"Brother Zhang." Bao Shangen greeted Zhang Kai.

"Xiao Bao, have a seat. Mr. Li hasn't arrived yet, but he'll be here soon," Zhang Kai said, gesturing for him to sit.

Upon hearing this, Bao Shangen blinked.

"I understand Mr. Li's vision for your future career. He wants you to showcase your dancing skills more, and he said he'll connect you with potential job opportunities in that direction," Zhang Kai said as he sat down.

"After all, you're still quite young, and there aren't many roles suitable for you in the entertainment industry." At Bao Shang'en's age, she can only play the younger version of the female lead or the daughter in some family dramas.

However, things are different now than they were a few years ago. A few years ago, there were many family dramas, but now there are far fewer. It is expected that as things continue to develop, there will be even fewer of these family dramas.

About half an hour later, Li Han and Tian Xiwei arrived.

Tian Xiwei had long, flowing black hair, wore sunglasses, and a black coat. She had an expressionless demeanor, like a boss lady.

"Mr. Li, Xiao Tian." Zhang Kai stood up, and Bao Shang'en also quickly stood up, turned her head to look over, and winked at Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei took off her glasses, looked at Bao Shangen with her big eyes, smiled, and stepped forward to gently hug her.

"Oh, what an adorable little girl!"

Bao Shangen looked at Tian Xiwei, a cute smile on her face that suited her age.

"Sister Tian."

"Just call me Xiwei," Tian Xiwei said with a smile.

"Sister Xiwei," Bao Shangen called out obediently.

Looking at the small bag, Tian Xiwei smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Bao Shang'en is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, while Tian Xiwei is 1.68 meters tall. The height difference between the two is more than ten centimeters, so Bao Shang'en is about the same height as Tian Xiwei is in front of Li Han.

"Bao Bao, have you had any problems in acting class lately?" Li Han asked, looking at Bao Bao, who was being held in Tian Xiwei's arms.

"No, Mr. Li." Bao Shangen smiled, her eyes narrowed.

The three of them standing together actually looked like a family of three.

After chatting for a while, the group headed to the photography studio to prepare for filming a video of Bao Shang'en.

Upon arriving at the photography studio, Tian Xiwei took off her coat and handed it to her assistant, curiously looking at the bag.

"How tall are you, Bao Bao?"

"Sister Xiwei, I'm 1.51 meters tall," Bao Shangen said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Oh, it's okay. I wasn't tall when I was little either. You'll be over 1.6 meters tall in a few years," Tian Xiwei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Han glanced at the two of them. He figured it was unlikely. In his previous life, there were two versions of Bao Shang'en's height, one being 16...

0, and 158.

Neither of them is particularly tall; they're both considered relatively short.

As for now, Li Han is 186cm tall, and Bao Shang'en, who is 151cm tall, looks almost like a little girl standing in front of him.

Inside the studio, besides the three people, there was Zhang Kai, their assistant, and the photographer.

In 2017, there was no song called "Dao Ma Dao Ma" yet, and Li Han didn't even know what language it was in. But that didn't matter, he could use another song instead. Li Han used a Brazilian song called "0lhaaEplosao" as a substitute.

Standing in front of the photographer, Li Han asked her to imitate some dance moves that were popular online recently, and also asked her to add some hand gestures, which weren't very popular in 2017.

Bao Shangen's outfit today also has a youthful street dance vibe.

"Bao Bao, lift your chin slightly, watch the camera, and don't look around," Li Han said.

Then, Bao Shang'en started dancing. This was the first time Li Han had seen Bao Shang'en dance, and he had to admit, she danced quite well.

Tian Xiwei blinked as she looked at the bag, her little head nodding slightly in sync with the other person's movements.

Bao Shang'en didn't go back to class all day today. The company paid for her to have a photoshoot, which was held in the afternoon.

This photoshoot isn't for her current fans, but for her future fans.

—On this day, the cast and crew of "Ninefold Purple" held a script reading session, which was attended by Li Han, Meng Ziyi, Zhou, Bao Shang'en, and others.

Today is also the first time that Meng Ziyi and Zhou have met Bao Shang'en.

"Hello, Bao Bao." Meng Ziyi looked at the cute Bao Bao in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and pat the little head.

"Sister Meng." Bao Shangen greeted her with her eyes half-closed, and then greeted Zhou Ye as well.

"sister."

Zhou greeted Bao Shang'en with a smile, while Li Han greeted the assistant director Zeng Qingjie.

Then, the script reading began, with everyone reading their lines and discussing the script.

Bao Shangen sat among the crowd, a script in front of her, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at everyone. This was her first time participating in a script reading, and it seemed quite lively—but why is it called a script reading? There's no real circle around.

Filming for "Nine Layers of Purple" is about to begin, and Li Han has already submitted "Better Days" for review, which will be followed by script review.

If possible, Li Han wants to film this movie this year and release it next year.

As for the variety show "Women's Deduction Club", Tencent Video is currently in the preparation stage. The main problem is that Tian Xiwei and Li Yitong are both busy and may not have time. In addition, other actresses need to be invited.

"Derailment" and "What Kind of Conduct" came later.

After the reading session, the entire crew headed to Hengdian.

At this time, Tian Xiwei was filming GG, and she would soon be going to Northeast China to film the suspense drama "Tiankeng Hunter".

After filming GG, Tian Xiwei changed his clothes and, looking somewhat tired, followed his assistant out of the building. There were many of Tian Xiwei's fans waiting for him outside.

"Oda Oda"

"Sister, sister, look at me!" Everyone was either holding a cell phone or a camera.

Tian Xiwei looked over, then smiled and raised her hand to greet her fans—then she paused, remembering the little cat saluting gesture that Li Han had told her about before.

After thinking for a moment, Tian Xiwei immediately made the cat salute gesture, which surprised the fans for a moment, and then—

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Xiwei! Xiwei!"

"Oda! Odada!!"

"Mommy, Mommy————"

Tian Xiwei pursed her lips. Was this action really that powerful, causing such a strong reaction? And what was wrong with her mother?

Regardless, Tian Xiwei felt that the fans quite liked the move, so she would just do it from time to time.

Although this move may not go viral, it is at least quite popular among fans, and that's enough.

— Meanwhile, as everyone disembarked in Hengdian, a number of fans were already waiting outside the airport, most of whom were fans of Li Han and Meng Ziyi.

"Ziyi, Ziyi, could you give me your autograph?"

"Brother Han, Brother Han, look at me, look at me—"

Li Han has significantly more fans than Meng Ziyi, after all, male celebrities in the entertainment industry generally have more fans than female celebrities.

Both of them were accompanied by assistants at the time, but they still politely accepted the paper and pen to sign for him.

Zhou and Bao Shangen, who were following behind, couldn't help but feel a little envious as they watched this scene.

Although Zhou has started filming dramas now, the dramas haven't aired yet, so at most she has some fame, but no fans will come to pick her up at the airport.

Needless to say, Bao Shang'en is completely unknown to everyone.

Looking at the scene before him, Bao Shang'en's eyes flickered. The way she was surrounded by admirers was indeed enviable.

Turning his head, Zhou glanced at Bao Shang'en, who smiled at him upon seeing this.

"Bao Bao, who knows, maybe we'll end up like this when the show airs next year," Zhou said with a smile, his dimples appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"Mm," Bao Shangen replied with a smile.

As soon as they got off the plane, everyone went to the hotel to check in.

Inside the room, watching his assistant carry his luggage in, Li Han sent a message to the others, inviting them to have a meal together later.

Several people were filming on the same set, and they went out for a meal. Even if they were photographed, it wouldn't matter; it was just a normal get-together, especially since one of them was a minor.

During the dinner, Bao Shangen was visiting Hengdian for the first time, so she was incredibly excited and chattering away with great curiosity.

"Bao Bao, I'll take you out for a walk later, we're free tonight anyway," Zhou said.

"Okay, sis." Bao Shangen nodded quickly.

Since neither of them is particularly famous, they're not afraid of being seen when they go out, and probably no one will recognize them anyway.

"Don't stay up too late. Get some rest early tonight. There's an opening ceremony tomorrow," Li Han said, yawning.

"Don't worry," Zhou waved his hand and said. "How long can I play around with a minor?"

The next day, the crew started the opening ceremony. The process was similar to that of "Qingqing's Daily Life". In fact, these opening ceremonies are all pretty much the same. Although the process is the same, you can't skip anything when you're making a drama.

Today, everyone was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with the three large characters "Ninefold Purple" printed on it.

"Come on, everyone, let's take a group photo." Li Han called out. After the opening ceremony, it was time for the group photo.

"Bao Bao." Li Han gestured to Bao Shang En, who was standing to the side, and Bao Shang En immediately peeked over.

"Come on, stand here with me and Sister Meng," Li Han said.

"Hmm." Bao Shangen smiled, then quickly ran over and stood in front of Li Han and Meng Ziyi. Li Han looked down at Bao Shangen's snow-white nape and subconsciously wanted to put his hand on her shoulder, but then he thought that it would be inappropriate.

Meng Ziyi glanced at Li Han, then put his hand on Bao Shang'en's shoulder. Bao Shang'en looked up at Meng Ziyi and smiled.

—At this moment, what Meng Ziyi didn't know was that when she filmed this drama in her previous life, the person standing in front of her was not a 00s actress, but a 10s actress.

After the opening ceremony, everyone prepared to go for the opening banquet.

To Li Han's left is Meng Ziyi, and to his right is assistant director Zeng Qingjie. Meng Ziyi is next to Zhou, and next to Zhou is Bao Shang'en, followed by the second and third male leads in that order.

Before the formal meal, Li Han picked up his cup, stood up, and said a few words, which were basically about everyone working hard and encouraging each other to complete the drama together in the next few months.

Then, assistant director Zeng Qingjie stood up and said a few words, followed by the producer arranged by Tencent.

During the meal, Li Han was discussing the filming arrangements with Zeng Qingjie while Meng Ziyi chatted. Bao Shangen couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she just ate her rice silently.

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their lodgings.

The day was getting hotter and hotter. The first thing Li Han did after returning to his room was to take a shower, and then he lay on the bed and looked at his phone.

She wasn't wearing a shirt on her upper body, and only a pair of shorts on her lower body, mainly for the sake of staying cool.

Knock knock—the sound of knocking on the door rang out. Li Han got up, looked over, and then got out of bed to open the door.

The person at the door was none other than Meng Ziyi. She had long, straight black hair, wore a white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, revealing her long, fair legs and delicate feet in slippers.

At this moment, Sister Meng's fair forehead furrowed, giving her the appearance of a beautiful woman frowning. She raised her right hand and was rubbing her neck. When she saw Li Han open the door, she looked over with her big eyes.

"Quickly, give me a massage."

"What's wrong?" Li Han looked at Meng Ziyi with a puzzled expression and gestured for her to come in.

Meng Ziyi strode in, and a faint scent of shower gel wafted into Li Han's nostrils. Li Han glanced at Meng's slightly damp hair and then noticed that she had taken a shower.

"My neck cracked while I was showering, and then it felt a bit uncomfortable. Could you rub it for me?" Meng Ziyi said as she walked to the bedside and sat down.

"Alright." Li Han nodded, closed the door, and walked over.

Meng Ziyi sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed. Li Han got on the bed and knelt behind her. He reached out and touched Meng's hair, revealing her snow-white neck. He then reached out and massaged her shoulders and neck.

"Hmm... Hmm~" Feeling the soreness in her neck and shoulders, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but squint and let out a series of groans.

Li Han reached out and pressed on Meng Ziyi's shoulder and neck acupoints.

"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle—"

"Ouch! You're hurting me!"

"Move it away! Move it away right now! ————"

"————??" Li Han stared blankly at Meng Ziyi. What are you talking about? Your words are too ambiguous.

"Hey, watch your words. I was just giving you a shoulder massage," Li Han reminded him. "You're making it sound like I'm doing something."
