This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 153 I've Got My Eye on Your Wife

Four days later.

Lu Ran, Li Quan, Li Haorui, and a teacher from Sunshine Primary School led twenty-four children on a private car to the airport.

On the bus, a group of children were very excited.

It's not holiday time yet, but they don't have to go to school, they can go out and play, and they can even take a plane.

"We don't need to go to class anymore!"

"No more homework!"

"amazing!"

On the bus, several outgoing children were excitedly shouting.

After everyone arrived in Qincheng and boarded Chang'an Entertainment's private car,

On the bus, a kind-looking female teacher smiled and said, "Students, my name is Li Dan, you can call me Teacher Li. For the next period of time, I will be your class teacher. Let me first tell you about our schedule. Classes will start at nine o'clock every morning."

As soon as the words were spoken, the smiles on the children's faces in the carriage vanished.

They stared at Teacher Li in disbelief, as if they had heard the most vicious language in the world.

Finally, a boy raised his hand and said, "Teacher Li, we didn't bring our textbooks."

Li Dan smiled and said, "It's alright if you didn't bring your textbooks. We have prepared new textbooks and new workbooks for everyone. You can take them back with you after you finish using them. We have also prepared a set of workbooks for everyone as a gift."

The little boy who had just spoken couldn't laugh; he was almost crying.

In the car, Lu Ran, Li Quan, and Li Haorui leaned back in their seats, feeling a sense of comfort.

Li Haorui waved his hand and said, "Uncle Li will give everyone an extra set of workbooks."

Li Dan smiled and said, "Everyone, hurry up and thank Uncle Li."

The students glared fiercely at Li Haorui, their eyes filled with daggers and devoid of emotion, and reluctantly said, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Li Haorui didn't care at all.

"Luckily, I don't have to go to school."

The group arrived at Chang'an Entertainment and took the children to the company first.

The rehearsals for the program will be held in the company's training room.

Shen Qingyi was already waiting at the company. As soon as she saw the children coming, she rushed over excitedly and gave each of them a snack gift bag.

The children immediately beamed with joy, repeatedly saying, "Beautiful lady, you're so pretty! Thank you, beautiful lady!"

Even after Li Dan and the children left, Shen Qingyi still maintained her smile.

Li Haorui asked curiously, "Does President Shen really like children?"

Li Quan nodded: "I love it. The practice questions were bought at Mr. Shen's request. Mr. Shen said that no matter how hard things are, we can't let the children suffer. We can't let the children be away from home and unable to attend school."

Li Haorui was immediately filled with respect.

The boss of Chang'an Entertainment must not be offended!

That person is so cunning!
After settling the children in, Lu Ran received a call from Ning Sirou.

"Lu Ran, I've arrived in Qincheng!"

“Perfect timing, I just got back too, let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Another reason Lu Ran returned to Ancheng is that the film "The Beginning" needs to conduct auditions for some of the main actors.

Meng Yichuan couldn't handle this kind of thing alone.

Ning Sirou also came to Ancheng for an audition, and the main cast and crew members have basically all arrived in the past few days.

The only problem is that the actress to play Aunt Guo has not yet been found.

In "The Beginning", the character of Aunt Guo is named Tao Yinghong, and the bomb in the play is in the pressure cooker in her hand.

Bus driver Wang Xingde is Tao Yinghong's husband.

Netizens jokingly said that the reason it was named "The Beginning" was because one person was driving and the other was carrying a pot.

Tao Yinghong's character is quite crucial.

On Earth, Liu Dan, the actress who played Tao Yinghong, was also an actress with the National Theatre of China. She later won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Magnolia Awards for her role in the play "The Beginning".

Her acting in the drama made Aunt Guo a nightmare for many netizens.

In the afternoon, Lu Ran and the others had hot pot together at Li Quan's house.

The next morning, Wang Ying brought Ning Sirou to the Chang'an Entertainment office.

This was Ning Sirou's first time here, and it was also the first time the employees of Chang'an Entertainment had met a top-tier celebrity. They were all incredibly excited.

In the past, there was never any chance to see top celebrities.

They're all benefiting from Lu Ran's fame now.

The staff of Chang'an Entertainment also presented Ning Sirou with a small gift they had prepared.

Ning Sirou, led by Chang Na, arrived at Shen Qingyi's office.

After entering, she curiously looked around the office, and at the same time, imagined Shen Qingyi's personality in her mind.

Judging from the office furnishings, Shen Qingyi is a serious and meticulous, yet somewhat adorable, female boss.

Looking at the world classics on the bookshelf, Ning Sirou felt ashamed.

That's why she looks so intellectual with her wire-rimmed glasses.

That's what you call scholarly air!

Lu Ran was also in the office.

After everyone was seated, Ning Sirou said anxiously, "Lu Ran, don't waste any time, let's hurry up and do the audition."

"Wait a minute, the director hasn't arrived yet."

Not long after, Meng Yichuan also arrived at the office.

Lu Ran didn't rush to audition, but instead asked, "Tell me your understanding of the character Li Shiqing."

Ning Sirou had already studied the script and had her own understanding of the character.

She said confidently, "Li Shiqing is set up as an ordinary college student, a kind of ordinary hero. At first, she encounters a cycle, feeling panicked, helpless, and nervous. Then, after witnessing the death of a passenger, she develops the idea of ​​saving people. Even after being killed by Aunt Guo, she still insists on carrying out the plan. This character grows gradually..."

Ning Sirou shared her understanding: A good actor must have their own understanding of the role.

Instead of simply reading the script, memorizing the lines, and then going on stage to act.

No matter how good the script is, it's all for nothing if the actors don't perform well.

Lu Ran asked a few more questions and received satisfactory answers.

Ning Sirou is indeed an actress who takes her roles seriously.

When it came to the audition stage, Ning Sirou's abilities were more than enough.

After the audition, Ning Sirou went to sign a contract with the production team.

in the office.

Meng Yichuan placed a folder in front of Lu Ran.

"Lu Ran, we still have a few actors left to try and get. If we can't get them, we'll have to settle for second best."

Lu Ran opened the folder, which contained information on several actors.

Meng Yichuan personally went to find the actress for the role of Tao Yinghong.

As a result, some actors lost interest as soon as they heard it was a time loop theme.

Some others had no interest in collaborating because of Burning Studio.

Some actors are interested in the script but don't have the time.

In the end, there were only a few people left who hadn't had a chance to ask.

Lu Ran glanced through the actors' information.

These actors are not very famous in the industry, but they have a lot of works and some classic roles.

Meng Yichuan also introduced the actors to Lu Ran one by one.

Turn to the last page, and you'll find an actress named Xi Meixia.

Meng Yichuan said, "I think Xi Meixia is the most suitable for the role of Tao Yinghong, but Xi Meixia hasn't acted much since she married Pang Yuntian. She hasn't acted in a single play in the last three years, so it's not certain that we can persuade her."

"Is she Pang Yuntian's wife?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yes, by the way, didn't you collaborate with Pang Yuntian during the 'Clear Sky Song' project? Can you persuade him?" Meng Yichuan asked.

Lu Ran shook his head: "I don't have that ability."

He only collaborated with Pang Yuntian this once.

His wife hasn't acted in three years, so why should he suddenly agree to come?

……

While the two were talking, at Pang Yuntian's home in Shanghai.

Pang Yuntian was chatting with his friend Liu Qianyuan.

The two of them were sitting on the sofa discussing the actors for their new movie.

Liu Qianyuan is also a martial arts actor, director, and martial arts choreographer; he is a multi-talented individual.

This time, Pang Yuntian is preparing to shoot an action movie, so he invited Liu Qianyuan to help out.

Pang Yuntian flipped through the documents in his hand, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

"None of these actors can play the role!"

Their new movie is called "Black Tide," which has a lot of action scenes, and they need to find a young actor who can fight.

Liu Qianyuan chuckled and said, "I think it's not that you're dissatisfied with these actors, but that you already have someone in mind, right?"

The casting director isn't just sitting around doing nothing; the actors they submit can't be completely incapable of handling these roles.

Pang Yuntian sighed: "You know Lu Ran, right? I worked with him when I filmed 'The Song of the Sky,' and I really liked the role of the assassin."

Liu Qianyuan said irritably, "Then go find him."

Pang Yuntian sighed, "It's expensive. Lu Ran's salary is incredible now, at least a million."

Liu Qianyuan agreed with this reasoning.

Actors in the Chinese entertainment industry are paid quite a lot, especially those with high popularity.

Regardless of acting skills, the money has to be paid properly.

Liu Qianyuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think that based on what I've seen online, Lu Ran isn't the kind of person who's obsessed with money. Why don't you ask Lu Ran first? If that doesn't work, try to trick Lu Ran into joining the film crew first, and then I'll figure out a way to deal with the money."

"That's true, I need to ask first whether it will work."

Pang Yuntian prepared himself for a moment, then took out his phone and called Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was in the office discussing with Meng Yichuan how to start filming.

As soon as the call connected, Pang Yuntian smiled and said, "Hahaha, Lu Ran, long time no see!"

Upon seeing that it was Pang Yuntian's call, Lu Ran answered without hesitation and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Brother Tian, ​​it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Pang Yuntian: "I missed you so much too!"

Lu Ran: "Brother Tian, ​​what have you been busy with lately?"

Lu Ran decided to guide him gently and ask about Pang Yuntian's wife later.

Pang Yuntian also started acting.

He sighed and said, "I'm currently preparing for a movie, but I can't find suitable actors."

"What movie is it? You can't possibly not find suitable actors?"

"For an action movie, as you know, there are too few suitable action actors these days."

"Brother Tian, ​​you're just like me. I'm busy with the beginning of the project, and we can't find a suitable actor for any of the roles."

Upon hearing this, Pang Yuntian felt that his chance to shine had arrived.

If I do Lu Ran a favor, how could he not come and act?
"Lu Ran, tell me which actor you've got your eye on, and I'll help you find a way. I may not be very famous, but I do have some connections in the industry."

Lu Ran was just waiting to hear those words.

"Brother Tian, ​​to be honest, I've taken a liking to your wife."
