Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

After everyone sat down again...

Cat looked at Wang Zhe and asked first, "Wang Zhe, have you read the original novel of 'Joy of Life'?"

How do you understand Fan Xian?

Sun Hao's eyes were scrutinizing as he looked at Wang Zhe.

His appearance, and even the aura he exuded, perfectly matched Sun Hao's image of Fan Xian.

But if he's just all show and no substance, Sun Hao still prefers Zhang Ruoyun.

Wang Zhe nodded slightly, a hint of Fan Xian's smile on his lips, and said calmly, "Cat, I've not only read 'Joy of Life,' but also 'Fighter of the Destiny' and 'Ever Night.'"

My understanding of Fan Xian is very simple…

He looked up at Mao Ni, then turned to Sun Hao, his eyes suddenly showing a youthful, slightly irritating certainty.

"Young Master Fan, there is no one more suitable than me."

Upon hearing this, Cat had already made up his mind.

Wang Zhe is the Fan Xian in his heart.

The fact that he could say something like that makes him very much like Fan Xian.

Sun Hao also realized that Wang Zhe didn't give him a long lecture like Zhang Ruoyun did, but instead proved with his actions that he was the most suitable candidate.

But Sun Hao, as the director, had other concerns. Coincidentally, Cheng Wu, the executive producer, was also there today. He said bluntly, "President Cheng, Wang Zhe really fits my image of Fan Xian."

But regarding scheduling, he hasn't enrolled yet. Will the school release him? Fan Xian is the main character; if filming can only be done during holidays, the production cycle will be too long, and the cost will be unsustainable.

Cheng Wu nodded and looked at Wang Zhe, asking, "Is there a problem with the schedule? You need to understand that this filming will last for half a year, or even longer."

"Uncle Cheng, there's no problem with that. The school has already made arrangements."

Wang Zhe answered readily and added, "Joy of Life is going to be filmed for three seasons. I can sign a long-term contract, and I can accept the salary. Uncle Cheng, you would never let your nephew suffer a loss, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Hao understood that Wang Zhe wasn't just there for show; he was genuinely interested in the role. Moreover, judging from Cheng Wu and Wang Yuejin's attitudes, the two had clearly already discussed it.

Fan Xian can only be played by Wang Zhe.

Wang Zhe did not participate in the subsequent details of the conversation, leaving it entirely to Wang Yue to handle.

Fan Xian was ultimately cast by Wang Zhe on a three-season contract, with a salary of 15 million for the first season.

With the approval of Wang Yuejin and Cheng Wu, Wang Churan successfully landed the role of Si Lili.

She is naturally suited to period drama costumes and has a rare, elegant appearance among the post-95 actresses.

Sun Hao and Mao Da were quite satisfied with her costume scene in "Oh My General".

The dinner party ended.

On the way back, Wang Yuejin, his drunken state from the banquet gone, regained his clarity and said in a calm tone, "That old bastard Cheng Wu really is asking for the moon."

Wang Zhe was filled with admiration at his father's rapid change of expression.

Even if he is a reincarnated person, his cultivation is still too shallow compared to these old foxes who have cultivated for decades.

"Dad, is Qinghe going to raise funds?"

Wang Yuejin nodded. He had nothing to hide from Wang Zhe: "He's asking for 40% right off the bat, isn't he afraid of overextending himself?"

"You agree?"

Wang Zhe was not surprised by this. Cheng Wu's attitude at the table had already explained everything. If they hadn't reached some kind of tacit understanding beforehand, it would have been impossible for the talks to go so smoothly.

Wang Yuejin shook his head: "It's still under negotiation, and the final figure will not be lower than 15%."

This kind of exchange of benefits is normal business logic. Platforms won't give you resources for no reason. Either you have to be deeply involved, or you have to offer equivalent incentives.

Wang Churan, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. He assumed that Wang Yuejin was reluctant to give up his shares, so he advised, "Uncle Wang, why don't you talk to my dad about it? Anyway, his shares will eventually be mine, so I don't care."

Wang Yuejin looked at her and smiled: "Curious, your shares are reserved for you as your dowry, your uncle won't touch them."

Is this a joke? Wang Churan is Wang Zhe's daughter, and he already considers her his daughter-in-law.

Wang Zhe, of course, had no idea what his father was thinking. He explained to Wang Cheran, "It's not about the shares. Cheng Wu wants to put Qinghe under the Tencent brand."

Wang Yuejin raised his hand and smacked him on the back of the head, scolding him, "You call yourself Cheng Wu behind his back? You have no manners."

However, the problem isn't too big now; we can just keep arguing. Qinghe must develop independently. We can cooperate, but it cannot become a vassal.

The financing issue cannot be resolved by allowing only Tencent to raise funds; this matter needs to be renegotiated.

Wang Zhe pursed his lips: "Dad, in the end, you're still one of Tencent's people, how can I put it?"

"You talk too much, kid. You should learn from Chu Ran. You don't care about your old man at all."

Wang Yuejin sighed as he spoke, "My daughter is the most considerate; I've raised my son for nothing."

Wang Zhe was speechless and started scrolling through his phone.

……

July 1st, afternoon, Xiaohaizi Recording Studio.

Wang Zhe finished rehearsing and stepped off the stage.

Wang Churan jogged over to greet him and handed him a bottle of water: "Here you go, little brother."

Wang Zhe took the drink and drank a couple of sips. Seeing her looking at him with a pleading expression, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're doing a pretty good job as an assistant!"

"That's right, I said I'd be your assistant, so I'll definitely do a good job."

Wang raised her chin slightly, then pulled a small bread from her pocket and handed it to him, her tone like she was coaxing a child, "Have something to eat first. What do you want to eat later?"

Wang Zhe had just taken a bite of bread when a hand landed on his shoulder from behind.

"Little brother, are you hungry?"

Wang Churan's gaze instantly locked onto the owner of that hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Yang Mi was completely unaware of this, and looked at Wang Zhe with a smile.

Wang Zhe reacted faster than he thought.

A young boy twisted his waist, subtly distancing himself from Yang Mi, though he had noticed Wang Cheran's unfriendly gaze.

"I didn't eat much for lunch, so I'm a bit hungry."

Yang Mi didn't mind his behavior and invited, "Perfect timing, I had my assistant order some food, want to grab a bite together?"

"Thank you, Ms. Yang Mi. We've already placed our order."

Before Wang Zhe could speak, Wang Cheran spoke up and refused on his behalf.

Yang Mi then noticed the girl next to her. She glanced at her and saw that the girl was very pretty, but there was an undisguised wariness in her eyes when she looked at her.

"Little brother, your assistant is quite pretty."

Wang Zhe explained, "Mi-jie, Chu Ran isn't my assistant, she's my sister."

Yang Mi nodded, said nothing more, smiled and left with the words "Good luck tonight," before turning and leaving.

After she left, the two returned to their private lounge.

Wang Zhe slammed the takeout box down on the table, his eyes narrowing. "Wang Zhe, why is Yang Mi being so attentive to you?"

"She's my mentor on the show, so it's normal for her to care about the contestants, right?" Wang Zhe shrugged and opened the takeout box on his own.

Wang rolled her eyes dramatically. "Then why doesn't she care about the other contestants?"

Also, she's your mentor? What can she teach you, like singing "The Power of Love"?

Wang Zhe was amused by her and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"Heh, you think I'd be jealous of an old woman? I just think she's up to no good."

Wang Churan analyzed seriously, "Why did you choose her track? Wouldn't it have been better to choose Xue Zhiqian?"

Wang Zhe reached out with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef from her lunchbox, and casually explained, "I chose her precisely because she can't teach me anything."

Seeing Wang Zhe pick up his food, Wang Churan reached out with his chopsticks to pick up Wang Zhe's food as well, but was stopped by Wang Zhe's palm.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Wang Zhe, why are you being possessive of your food? Why can you eat mine, but I can't eat yours?"

Wang Zhe shielded his food container with his own, his expression defiant, and said, "So what if I'm protecting my food? What are you going to do about it?"

Wang Churan gritted her teeth and stared at him for two seconds, then grabbed his hand and bit him.

Wang Zhe didn't dodge, but instead hissed in agreement, his expression full of smugness.

As the two were playfully fighting, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Yang Yangjin stood at the door, watching Wang Cheran grab Wang Zhe's hands with both hands and bite them, while he casually used his other hand to push her head back.

What are you two doing?

Wang reluctantly opened her mouth, pointed at Wang Zhe with a wronged expression, and complained, "Sister Yangyang, Wang Zhe bullied me."

"You were the one who bit me."

Wang Zhe directly showed the circle of teeth marks on the back of his hand, looking completely innocent.

"You made me bite you."

"Then you really bite."

Yang Yangjin rubbed her temples and sighed, "Alright, hurry up and finish eating, it's time to get your makeup and hair done."
