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

Chapter 96 Would you hit a woman?

Mao Xiaohui froze, only then realizing that she had been a little lost in thought.

She glanced at Tan Wen subconsciously, then explained somewhat awkwardly, "I saw it trending on social media these past couple of days, so I clicked in and took a look."

Zhou was still somewhat suspicious. There were so many trending topics every day, but Tan Wen's trending topic didn't last long. Unless you're interested in dating reality shows, you wouldn't bother clicking on it.

"Xiao Hui, how did you feel when you saw it?" Zhou wanted to probe further.

Mao Xiaohui did not answer immediately this time, but deliberately thought for a moment before saying, "I was indeed worried for a few seconds that Tan Wen would hit the girl. If that happened, no matter what the reason, it would be too shameful."

Tan Wen disagreed with Mao Xiaohui's statement. What's more shameful than hitting a girl is not being able to beat her!

This answer successfully diverted Zhou's thoughts. She looked at Tan Wen and asked, "Would you hit a woman?"

"The kind of flirting?" Tan Wen replied perfunctorily.

Zhou pouted, and Wang Churan teased, "Beating up another woman for one woman, maybe it's not so shameful?"

""

When Wang Churan said "for a woman," everyone knew that he was referring to Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi appeared relatively late among the girls, but Tan Wen seemed to be quite enthusiastic about her as well.

Chen Yao asked a question that both Zhou and Wang Churan were concerned about: "Is the order of appearance more important or the timing of appearance?"

In terms of appearance order, they were behind Lu Yuxiao and He Mier.

Chen Yao didn't specify who to ask, but everyone looked at Tan Wen. Tan Wen couldn't escape it, so he thought for a moment and replied, "Today I was competing with Xu Kai for the role of Yan Xun. One-third of the audience members were Xu Kai's fans, but I ended up getting 8% of the votes, which means that Xu Kai's fans voted for me."

Tan Wen did not answer directly, but only gave an example of what happened today.

The girls were each thinking about the answer.

Wang Churan felt that Tan Wen had already made himself very clear: feelings can change. Was he implying something?

Zhou felt that Tan Wen's answer seemed to be saying that the order of appearance was not important, the timing was not important, what was important was the person, and he seemed to still be searching?

Mao Xiaohui felt that Tan Wen's answer was a bit scummy, and it seemed to encourage everyone to get to know him.

Tan Wen didn't care what they were thinking; he just ate meat heartily. He had indeed expended a lot of energy today, as his oral desire far outweighed his lust.

While eating, he suddenly remembered something: there seemed to be a boy waiting for Wang Churan! He had already brought Wang Churan over to eat, so was that boy still waiting idly?

He said to Wang Churan, "You seem to have forgotten something. There's a guy whose name is... what was it again? He said you should go find him in the next period."

Wang Churan's expression became somewhat unnatural again: "It's okay, I already told him to go back first."

Zhou asked with a mixture of curiosity and amusement, "A boy? Who is it? We're waiting for you after the show."

Wang Churan clearly didn't want to deal with this issue, but she couldn't resist the gossipy faces of the girls, so she felt it necessary to explain to avoid being misunderstood by Tan Wen.

"His name is Wang Ziqi, and he's also an actor. You probably all know him, right?"

Several girls nodded, signaling her to continue.

"I met her in a project a while ago, added her on WeChat, and we chatted occasionally."

Wang Churan felt that the more she explained, the more confused she became. She glanced at Tan Wen and added, "But he was the one who contacted me first. Anyway, I told him today not to do these things again."

"Looks like you broke a guy's heart tonight," Zhou joked.

Chen Yao: "Wang Ziqi seems to be a quiet person, and her appearance is alright. Aren't you going to consider her? Or do you already have someone...?"

As Chen Yao spoke, he glanced at Tan Wen.

"Make a living first, then find love," Wang Churan replied shyly. This was what Tan Wen had told her yesterday, and she had used it.

The other girls wanted to argue, but found they couldn't refute it.

Every company they worked for had told them not to date, as it would affect their careers.

However, in the entertainment industry, which is full of handsome men and beautiful women, the temptations are too great and there is too much temptation, making it too difficult to abide by this rule.

Meanwhile, in the project meeting room of "Half Wound, Half Sugar".

Director Yu Zhong looked around and asked, "The other actors have all been cast. Now, we have the second male lead, Gao Hanyu, and Tan Wen. What are your opinions?"

Casting director Ma Xuan: "In terms of acting skills, Tan Wen is better. On this point, I vote for Tan Wen."

The screenwriter said, "Gao Hanyu's acting skills are sufficient. We are a web series, and an idol drama at that, so acting skills are not the most important thing."

You've all seen Tan Wen's image. My concern is that if Tan Wen plays the second male lead, he might overshadow the first male lead, creating a disjointed feel to the entire series.

The producer shook his head: "I can accept the online hype about the second male lead and the female lead's relationship after the show airs; that's a way to break out of the niche."

The investor nodded: "Moreover, Tan Wen's offer is much cheaper, which also needs to be taken into account."

Yu Zhong looked at Ma Xuan: "How does the popularity of the two compare?"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Xuan said, "Currently, Tan Wen's popularity and discussion level are higher than Gao Hanyu's. Moreover, Tan Wen's popularity is concentrated among viewers of dating reality shows, which actually has a certain degree of overlap with the audience of idol dramas."

Ma Xuan took a sip of tea and added, "Tan Wen is also the lead actor in Director Han Yan's next film."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment; everyone had probably already made their choice.

Inside the hot pot restaurant.

The girls finally stopped gossiping, but the conversation still centered on Tan Wen.

"I heard from Zhou that when you took on the 'The Actor' project, you had a big argument with the project team?"

"Did you really write 'Where the Wind Blows' in just a few hours?"

"I've noticed that you don't seem to be afraid of offending people in the industry. Do you have some kind of secret advantage?"

"It's not easy to get roles these days, so I feel I need to control my temper."

Just then, Tan Wen's phone rang, and he took the opportunity to go out and catch his breath.

Tan Wen answered the phone, walked outside the store, and lit a cigarette.

On the other end of the phone was Ma Xuan, the casting director of "Half Wound, Half Sugar," who informed Tan Wen that he had time to sign the contract in the next couple of days because he had passed the audition.

Tan Wen and Ma Xuan discussed some details, and before hanging up, Tan Wen asked, "Is the 'Half Wound, Half Sweet' project still looking for a female supporting role?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Who would you like to recommend?"

"Lu Yuxiao, of course, I was just asking casually."

Ma Xuan: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Wen lit another cigarette, smoked it, let the smoke dissipate, and went into the store.

"Who called you?" Zhou asked.

"It's about work," Tan Wen said, twirling a lighter.

"Talking about work so late? Wait a minute..." Zhou remembered something, "Is it about your audition today?"

Tan Wen laughed and said, "You're quite smart. They told me to go and sign the contract in the next couple of days."

The girls were a little surprised. They had just been saying that it was hard to get roles these days, and now they had already gotten one?

Wang Churan asked curiously, "What kind of drama is it? Is he the male lead?"

"The second male lead is from a web series. I don't know who the male lead is, but the female lead should be Bai Lu."
