Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 317 Guo Qilin's TV Series

Chen Shouzhe never expected that taking his daughter out for a trip and a meal would result in him being disgusted.

Fortunately, I ate slowly with my daughter. After she finished eating, the little girl couldn't sit still and kept asking to go find her godfather and godmother, which is Lao Guo's house.

Chen Shouzhe and the others had finished eating. Wang Zonglei was probably drinking, so they didn't see them come out. Chen Shouzhe and his men left first.

The car drove all the way to Rose Garden and arrived at Lao Guo's house. Lao Guo was resting at home and, knowing that he was coming, he and his family waited at the door.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Fatty!"

The little girl got off the car and immediately ran towards the person she saw.

Chen Shou took the gift from the trunk; he couldn't come empty-handed. It wasn't anything valuable, just tea, since Lao Guo liked to drink tea.

He can no longer drink alcohol, and given his diabetes, tea is a better option for him.

Chen Shouzhe took the tea and told the driver and Xiao Fang to go back first, as they would probably have to stay overnight at Lao Guo's house.

"That's rude, that's your uncle." Chen Shou said to the little girl while taking the tea leaves.

Guo Qilin knew he was coming, so his whole family was there. Guo Qilin was at home, as was Guo Lao Er, who was already very big and fat, so Chen Caiyu always liked to call him Fatty.

Even though he was already quite big, he was still genuinely afraid of Chen Caiyu. Chen Caiyu had beaten him since he was a child, and his family all liked little girls, which made him very low in status and he dared not resist.

Guo Degang's parenting style goes without saying. Many people think that Guo Degang is very strict with Guo Qilin and very lenient with Guo Er. But that's a misconception. It's true that he has high expectations for Guo Qilin, but he is indeed a bit more lenient with Guo Er. However, don't forget that Guo Qilin is strict with him because his mother is not around. This is to set an example for his apprentices.

Guo Lao Er didn't need his strictness; with Guo Qilin as a role model, it was his own mother, Wang Hui, who truly dealt with Guo Lao Er severely.

I'm afraid of comparing prices.

Guo Lao Er was handed over to her. Both families are very traditional. Guo Qilin is excellent, so Guo Lao Er naturally can't be too bad. Therefore, Wang Hui is even more ruthless than Guo Lao Guo.

However, the couple treated Chen Caiyu the same way, spoiling her rotten. Both of their children were boys, and the same was true for the Yu family, who also had two boys.

Therefore, they doted on Chen Shouzhe's daughter immensely, even more so than on the children of their other apprentices.

After all, Chen Shou is too outstanding. Now, whether it's Lao Guo or Yu Qian, people will give them face wherever they go, just because they have a good apprentice and a good godson. They will be respected when they appear on some programs, and at some large galas, the two of them will sit in very prominent positions.

“Yes, that’s rude,” Guo Lao Er jumped out and said.

"I'll call you Fatty, hee hee hee." The little girl said smugly in Wang Hui's arms.

"This child is so adorable." Wang Hui adored her so much that she wanted to have another child, hoping it would be a daughter. She held the little girl and doted on her. When she was little, she often asked Chen Shou to bring her to live at home, and now she did even more so, often taking Guo Lao Er to the horse farm.

"Godfather, I brought some tea leaves," Chen Shou said as he entered, carrying the tea leaves.

"Help your brother answer it," Lao Guo said to Guo Qilin.

"Brother, give it to me." Guo Qilin stepped forward and took it.

"No announcements lately?" Chen Shou asked, handing the tea leaves to Guo Qilin.

"Yes, there are a few announcements," Guo Qilin said.

"What announcement? Oh, I remember now, it's a period drama, right? They held a press conference in January," Chen Shou suddenly remembered. Last year, Tencent Video, along with its acquired novel website, Yang Mi's secret company, and several other companies including Xinli (acquired by Tencent), launched an IP project.

Guo Qilin auditioned for a TV series adapted from an ancient novel. The role was quite good. He originally wanted the male lead, but it wasn't suitable. Of course, he wanted the male lead, and several companies would give him face, since he is Chen Shouzhe's junior brother and adopted brother.

Of these companies, Penguin is the dominant player, and he is also a major shareholder in Secret Company.

Given his position in the industry, getting a role would be easy for him.

Whether he can handle it or not depends on him. Chen Shouzhe will not participate. Going out under his name is the greatest help he can give Guo Qilin.

Now, when people mention his identity to the outside world, they don't say he is Guo Degang's son, but rather that he is Chen Shouzhe's younger brother.

It's true that Guo Degang is very famous and has a lot of fans, but for Guo Qilin, having many fans doesn't bring him resources in the film and television industry. Those are Guo Degang's fans, not his fans.

Chen Shouzhe's younger brother's status is different. People in the film and television industry give him face and won't say that he is Guo Degang's son, but rather that he is Chen Shouzhe's younger brother.

Even at some parties, big-name celebrities would deliberately try to get close to him, as some people wanted to get to know Chen Shouzhe through him.

Previously, on a TV program, there were Hong Kong artists who initially didn't have a good attitude towards him. However, they later discovered that mainland actors were very considerate of Guo Qilin, knowing that he was a second-generation star, even though his father was just a crosstalk performer. After learning from other people that his brother was Chen Shouzhe, they immediately changed their attitude and started trying to get close to him.

"Yes, sir, a period drama series is starting filming next month," Guo Qilin said.

"Yes, characters adapted from novels can be very likable if played well. Do your best," Chen Shou nodded.

"I will, brother," Guo Qilin nodded.

Guo Qilin is a likable person, but he is not suitable for the big screen. It is difficult for Chen Shou to find roles for him. He can only arrange TV series or variety show resources for him. I believe that Lao Guo can do this.

Yan Danchen wasn't at the Rose Garden. Chen Shouzhe called to ask before he came, and she said she had taken her child back to her hometown in Xiangnan and wouldn't be back for a while.

At Lao Guo's house, the two children were having a blast, running around and throwing tantrums everywhere.

Chen told them to go have fun, and that Lao Guo had already started preparing for his movie, which was expected to be filmed soon.

The script has been approved. Chen Shouzhe did not invest, but Lao Guo has used his connections to contact many people to make cameo appearances and help out.

Chen Shouzhe said he would visit the set to see how Guo Degang makes movies.

Perhaps because Chen Shou was there, several apprentices came in the afternoon: Yue Yunpeng, Li Hebiao, Zhang Yunlei, Kong Yunlong, and Li Yunxia.

Chen Shouzhe felt a little emotional. He knew fewer and fewer people. Of those who used to raise dogs together in the compound, only a few remained. In fact, they had all come later than him. Only Zhang Yunlei could compare to him.

As for Li Hebiao, the only disciple of the "He" generation, he is the head chef and is responsible for cooking for them. Of course, Li Hebiao completely sided with Guo Degang during the assault incident and felt guilty towards him. In fact, the two are not much different in age.

"How's the third brother doing now?" Chen Shou asked Kong Yunlong jokingly.

"Senior brother, please don't mention it."

The others burst into laughter, but Kong Yunlong waved his hand, saying he was embarrassed.

Like Yue Yunpeng, he was older than Chen Shouzhe, but he joined the sect later than Chen Shouzhe, so they all called him senior brother. Chen Shouzhe was genuinely happy to see these people.
