Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Tan Wen was stunned.

Han Yan continued, "This is a business consideration; we can't afford to waste the topic of conversation between the two of you."

Tan Wen remained silent.

Han Yan waited a few seconds.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Tan Wen spoke up, "Director, I can't do that."

Han Yan frowned. "Why?"

"This is a matter of principle. I have someone I like, and I can't hold hands with Liu Haochun."

He couldn't explain to Han Yan that the system was the principle, and that he would ultimately be with He Mi'er.

Han Yan was somewhat speechless: "I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned. Like? What does 'like' even mean when it comes to one's career?"

Tan Wen remained silent. Han Yan stared at him. Tan Wen didn't flinch. After a few seconds of silence, Han Yan smiled.

"Fine," he said. "Then forget it."

He turned around, walked to the window, and stood with his back to him. "Go out."

Tan Wen had no choice but to give up and stop trying, after all, a beautiful semi-transparent panel had appeared before his eyes.

He apologized to Han Yan, turned around, and pushed open the door to leave.

Hearing the door close, Han Yan turned around and said, "Doesn't this guy even try to fight for himself? Where does he get the nerve to waste such an opportunity?"

Tan Wen went outside and saw the two silent people.

"How is it?" Liu Haochun asked.

Tan Wen shook his head and patted Yi Yang Qianxi on the shoulder, "The role is yours."

Yi Yangqianxi looked up, his expression somewhat surprised. He didn't say much, but he believed that the director ultimately chose the popular idol behind him.

Liu Haochun had mixed feelings; this result was not what she had hoped for, but it was also what she wanted.

"Let's go back to the cabin. I've missed it after being away for a few days," Tan Wen said to Liu Haochun.

Liu Haochun nodded. As the two were leaving, Yi Yangqianxi called out to Tan Wen, "Tan Wen, let's exchange contact information. Perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

······

We left the building.

Liu Haochun: "Where did the problem go wrong?"

"We couldn't reach an agreement, so I gave up on my own initiative."

"Give up voluntarily?" Liu Haochun was somewhat surprised and a little aggrieved. "You don't want to act with me anymore? I've already chosen to give you a chance."

Liu Haochun looked both pitiful and endearing, and Tan Wen couldn't tell whether it was genuine emotion or exceptional acting skills.

Tan Wen sighed, patted her head, and said, "Remember to take care of me after you become famous."

Liu Haochun turned and left, and Tan Wen quickly followed.

······

Heart-Fluttering Cottage.

The living room of the cottage was large, but it still felt a bit crowded at the moment.

Everyone sat together, playing small games to pass the time.

"You're from Tsinghua University?" Xu Jing asked a girl.

This girl has long, thin, slanted eyebrows and her eyes are painted with slightly upturned smoky makeup, making her eyes look thin and small.

She is Ding Bing, Gu Beiyu's supporting guest.

Ding Bing looked somewhat proud. "I'm currently studying in the United States, and I plan to stay there after graduation."

Xu Jing's guest assistant whispered, "With knowledge like yours, returning after completing your studies would be the perfect plot twist for a wish-fulfillment novel."

Xu Jing's guest assistant is Xiao Ya, a cute and gentle girl who is currently a female-oriented author and is here to find material.

Ding Bing glanced at Xiao Ya: "America is much more developed. I would naturally feel happy and relaxed living there, so I will definitely stay there in the future. My parents also support me staying in America."

Xiao Ya pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

Holy crap, the sweet pie is back!

I think her choice was fine; she'll need to learn how to toast properly before going back to China.

This is a long-standing tradition at Tsinghua University, nothing surprising.

Goodbye and best of luck; you'd better renounce your citizenship as well.

······

In the corner, He Mi'er and He Chao were talking to each other through their microphones, neither of them seemed to be in a good mood.

"Just have some fun with Tan Wen, don't take it seriously."

"Oh? Why?"

"He's just an actor; he won't be able to get past his family's objections."

"Looking down on actors? Aren't you dating an actor too?" He Mi'er glanced behind He Chaolian, and Dou Xiao smiled awkwardly.

He Chaolian glanced impatiently behind her, but Dou Xiao looked away, pretending not to hear anything.

"It's precisely because I've been through this that I know how difficult it is, that I'm advising you. Besides, at least Dou Xiao has some works to his name; what does Tan Wen have?"

He Mier said calmly, "I have no connection with the He family. They can't control me. If you want exposure, I'll bring you here. Don't worry about anything else."

"I'll tell your mom."

"Dare to say it and we'll break off all ties."

······

At this moment, a staff member stepped forward with a tablet.

"Here is an anonymous survey card. Please come up one by one to fill in the answers, and do not reveal the contents to others."

Finally, the guest assistants select cards based on the information filled in, thus completing the team formation.

Please note that once you successfully form a team, you will need to complete the activities together for the next two days, so choose carefully, as some opportunities are irreplaceable once missed.

After explaining the rules, the staff member added, "Tan Wen and Liu Haochun will arrive later. We will start the group assignments after they arrive."

"Don't they have any sense of time?"

"Are you going to make so many of us wait for the two of them?"

The speaker was actor Xiang Zuo, a guest who was assisting William. He expressed his dissatisfaction, and the staff were hesitant to refute him, since Xiang Zuo looked quite fierce.

Some viewers in the live chat also expressed their dissatisfaction.

[After waiting two days, the show finally started airing, but not only was Tan Wen absent, they also took Liu Haochun with them.]

I want to see Junko.

[I wanted to see Tan Wen and Lu Yu together, but that guy was actually out with another girl. It seems the more handsome a man is, the less reliable he is.]

Look at Lulu, she doesn't seem very energetic at all, how annoying!

In a city in China, Wang Churan lay in bed and opened the "Moment of Heartbeat" live stream, only to find that Tan Wen was not there.

She tossed her phone aside in frustration, then quickly picked it up again and typed "Liu Haochun" into the search engine.

······

Tan Wen and his group arrived at Daxin Airport after packing up.

Only then did Tan Wen begin to check the rewards.

First, there's the screenwriting ability; this reward will definitely be useful in the future, perhaps even very useful.

The second reward was a script framework, titled "Where the Wind Blows".

Tan Wen glanced at the content casually; it seemed to be a love story that blended tourism and intangible cultural heritage, with a focus on healing.

In today's society, where pressure is so high that it can be quite oppressive, this is indeed a good subject matter.

However, a small suggestion from the system attached to the end of the script made him feel a bit troubled: "It is recommended to invite Liu Yifei to play the female lead."

Tan Wen shook his head inwardly, deciding to ignore it for now.

The third reward is an extra movie or TV series invitation (random). It seems like a great reward, but the word "random" is a bit hard to judge. What if it's a bad movie? Should I accept it or not?

Just then, Tan Wen's phone rang; it was from an unknown number.

Tan Wen answered the call and was surprised to find that it was Han Yan's voice on the other end.

"You and Liu Haochun can fake holding hands and make the audience believe it's real. I think with your acting skills, that's something you could do very easily, right?"

Han Yan made no formalities and directly expressed his demands.

Could it be that the system reward invitation is actually a little red flower? Isn't this exploiting a bug?

Now that the reward has arrived, Tan Wen won't hold back; he'll fight for his own interests.

"Director Han, in the script, do Wei Yihang and Ma Xiaoyuan end up together?"

Han Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ma Xiaoyuan has passed away; please keep this a secret."

"So there's still some regret, right?" Tan Wen started thinking like a screenwriter, "I think it would have been better if Liu Haochun and I hadn't ended up together."

"Oh? Tell me about it."
