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

Chapter 129 Sleep well and don't touch me.

Tan Wen thought for a moment and figured that there shouldn't be any problems taking her along, but he didn't have time to travel with her.

"I have business in Jianye, so I might not have time to spend with you."

"It's okay, I'll just wander around and relax a bit."

Tan Wen stopped trying to dissuade him and briefly told Wang Churan about his itinerary in Jianye.

Wang Churan laughed and said, "Are you really not going to reconsider letting me play the role of Xu Hongdou?"

Tan Wen: "It's not up to me to decide; you have to convince the production company."

"What if you were in charge? Would you consider me?"

"Yes, as long as your professional skills meet the standards, you'll have opportunities."

More than two hours later, Wang Churan took the stage to perform.

Without Tan Wen's guidance, her performance this time was indeed much more bland, and Chen Kai finally said what he hadn't said in the previous episode.

"See, I was right last time. You're acting based on your performance, and if you're not in the right state, you'll give yourself away."

.....

You can't rely solely on your looks to survive in this industry. There are too many girls like you in the entertainment circle. You should focus more on improving your acting skills and transform yourself into a sophisticated "pretty face with substance."

When Wang Churan came backstage, Tan Wen saw that her eyes were a little red and comforted her, saying, "You weren't eliminated. Just do your best next time."

Wang Churan said, "Could you choose me to act with next time? Otherwise, I still don't have confidence."

Tan Wen did not agree directly because Zhou had already made this request. He said seriously, "You can't rely on me for your professional abilities; it will affect your future acting career."

Wang Churan remained silent after hearing this; she knew Tan Wen was right.

After that, the actors took the stage one after another. Tan Wen was scheduled to be last. He knew that the production team thought he had a lot of fans and wanted him to be the last one to perform.

After Zhou finished playing, he felt much more relaxed.

She was ultimately eliminated, but this outcome was within her expectations, and she wasn't too upset.

It's just a pity that I couldn't keep my promise to Tan Wen.

She found Tan Wen and said, "I won't be able to help you with the challenges from now on."

"It's alright, we'll meet again in 'Peach Blossom Village'."

Zhou complained, "Peach Blossom Village is still a few months away. Don't you want to see me in the meantime?"

"If you're willing, I'm available to meet anytime I have the time."

"That's more like it." Zhou retracted her pouting lips and added to Wang Churan, "If you go to Beijing, come find me to hang out."

Wang Churan felt a little strange seeing Zhou and Tan Wen being so friendly.

However, seeing that Zhou was equally enthusiastic towards her, perhaps it was just Zhou's personality, she nodded and accepted Zhou's invitation.

"I'll head back to the hotel now; I'm a bit tired today."

After Zhou finished speaking, he gave Tan Wen a reproachful look. He had been sleeping well last night, but Tan Wen woke him up and kept him up for a long time.

"Wait a bit before you leave," Tan Wen called out to her. "There might be a good show to watch later."

Zhou was somewhat puzzled, but he stayed anyway.

Tan Wen said "maybe" because he wasn't sure if Chen Kai would lose his temper, since several hours had passed and he had been relatively mild-mannered.

But based on his understanding of Chen Kaige, he is still very proud, especially intolerant of others belittling his work, and will explode at the slightest provocation.

So he still hopes that Chen Kaige can be more energetic and not embarrass himself.

The only thing he didn't want was for the conflict to happen when he was on the field.

An hour later, Tan Wen keenly realized that the real show was about to begin, because Guo Jinming was criticizing a play performed by Chen Kaige's group.

Guo Jinming: "I don't really like this work, and the reason has little to do with the actors... I think it can be explained from three aspects..."

As always, Guo Jinming used some technical terms that were not easy to understand, but they sounded very professional at first glance.

Chen Kaige, his face ashen, finally couldn't hold back and interrupted Guo Jinming's endless chatter.

"Director Guo, if you say it's not the actors' problem, then it's the director's problem, the screenwriter's problem, the broadcasting problem, which means it's my problem. Just say it directly."

After Chen Kaige finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and there wasn't even a whisper.

"Director, that's not what I meant," Guo Jinming quickly defended himself.

Chen Kai ignored him and continued, "If you think there are problems with my filming, then point them out one by one, instead of saying some empty and grandiose things. I think talking in a vague and ambiguous way does not demonstrate professionalism. Essentially, it shows a lack of self-confidence. A good director should simplify complex things."

Chen Kai leaned back in his chair, and just when everyone thought he was done refuting, he looked directly at Guo Jinming across Ning Hao and said, "What film system did you study?! The plagiarism controversies surrounding your films have never stopped."

And you yourself told us from the audience to be gentle with our critiques of your work, so what are you doing now?

Chen Kaige stood up and said, "Can we stop this show for a bit? Let's stop it for a bit."

After saying that, he left the scene amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Guo Jinming never expected that Chen Kai would disregard the decorum between directors and openly blame and belittle him.

His expression was stiff, his face was flushed, and he kept his head down, not knowing what to do.

He originally intended to showcase his professionalism once per episode, but unfortunately, Tan Wen ruined the first two attempts.

This time, he has decided not to focus on Tan Wen's performance, but to choose a work that does have flaws to critique.

He knew Chen Kaige might be unhappy, but he didn't expect Chen Kaige's reaction to be so strong, which was completely beyond his control.

Ning Hao sighed and patted Guo Jinming on the back. Guo Jinming's eyes reddened and tears fell. He knew that the only way to gain some sympathy from the audience was to play the victim.

"How are you feeling?" Tan Wen asked Zhou, who was somewhat dumbfounded.

Zhou was speechless. Finally, she managed to say, "I think I shouldn't go to Director Guo to discuss the script issues for now."

Tan Wen said, "Don't think about the script anymore; there's no need to talk about it."

Zhou pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tan Wen: "You seem to have known this would happen?"

Wang Churan, who was standing nearby, also realized this: "When you said there would be a good show, were you referring to what just happened?"

Tan Wen found it somewhat amusing to be stared at by the two men.

"Do you think I have the ability to predict the future?"

"But before..."

"Alright, you guys should go back and rest now," Tan Wen interrupted Zhou's questioning. "I need to get ready to go on stage."

After saying that, he waved to the two of them and went backstage for makeup and styling.

After returning to his room, Zhou became increasingly suspicious as he reviewed the events, wondering what role Tan Wen had played in the conflict.

Could it be that he saw I was bullied by Director Guo and was trying to get revenge for me? I'll have to question him properly next time we meet.

She packed her luggage and left the room. When she passed Tan Wen's room, she paused for a moment, feeling a little reluctant to leave: "I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."

After Tan Wen's performance, he advanced as expected and went straight to the director after leaving the stage.

The director stared at him in disbelief: "How did you do that?"

Tan Wen laughed and said, "Perhaps I did nothing, but just foresaw this scene."

Seeing that Tan Wen was unwilling to say more, the director did not press further: "The effect of this scene is indeed much better. I will keep my promise and delete Zhou's scenes."

Tan Wen shook hands with him and said before leaving, "I could foresee Director Chen clashing with Director Guo, so naturally I can foresee other things as well, therefore..."

The director's face stiffened, then he became somewhat annoyed, realizing that Tan Wen was threatening him.

However, despite his annoyance, he also felt a little guilty, because he was indeed thinking of keeping Zhou's clips, which might be useful in the future if they weren't broadcast this time.

Watching Tan Wen's departing figure, he realized that he could understand this person even less and less.

......

.....

Tan Wen returned to the hotel, found Wang Churan, got her ID card, and booked two high-speed rail tickets to Jianye City for the next day at noon.

"I'll choose you to act with next time," Tan Wen said to Wang Churan, since Zhou had already been eliminated.

Wang Churan happily raised her head, and the slight worry in her heart vanished.

The two went downstairs for dinner together. When they returned to their room, Tan Wen noticed a hint in Wang Churan's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, but still let her stay, but told her to get some sleep and not to touch him.

The next morning, when Wang Churan woke up, she saw that Tan Wen was still fast asleep. She glanced at the time and realized she still had time.

She crawled into bed, and soon after, Tan Wen and his brother woke up at the same time.
