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

Chapter 130 Living next door to Bailu?

The two arrived in Jianye City at 6 p.m.

After thinking for a moment, Tan Wen still took Wang Churan to the hotel that Wang Cheng had booked, since it wasn't a formal meeting.

Wang Cheng shook hands with Tan Wen very politely, but his eyes lit up when he saw Wang Churan.

"You must be Wang Churan?" he greeted Wang Churan. "You do look somewhat alike."

"What?"

"The production company might consider casting Liu Yifei as the female lead. Don't you think Chu Ran and Liu Yifei look somewhat alike?" Wang Cheng said with a smile.

Tan Wen was somewhat surprised, because the system had indicated that Liu Yifei could be used. Could it be that Liu Yifei was the chosen one, Xu Hongdou?

"You've already decided on the actors?" Tan Wen asked.

Wang Cheng: "It's just an interest. The company is very optimistic about this project, so we will give priority to actors with high national recognition. At present, Liu Yifei is a very good fit in all aspects."

Tan Wen mentally compared Xu Hongdou to Liu Yifei and found that it was quite a good fit. He glanced at Wang Churan and tried to imagine herself as Liu Yifei as well, and felt that it was also acceptable.

"If you can't get Liu Yifei, you could consider Wang Churan. Like you said, they do look somewhat similar," Tan Wen said jokingly.

Wang Cheng smiled but didn't reply. Wang Churan certainly didn't expect such a good thing to happen to her; she was already very satisfied that Tan Wen mentioned her.

"Come on, let's drink." Wang Cheng raised his glass.

Over the next few hours, the two drank and chatted. Tan Wen discussed many details about the script with Wang Cheng, and Wang Cheng wrote them down one by one.

After discussing "Where the Wind Blows," Tan Wen also shared some screenwriting experiences with him. They had a great time chatting, and Wang Cheng exclaimed that he wished they had met sooner and wanted to become sworn brothers with him.

Tan Wen was very happy because his screenwriting skills were slowly improving during his discussions with Wang Cheng.

He estimated that once he finished writing the three scripts he was awarded, his screenwriting skills would reach level five.

By then, he plans to try writing his own original screenplay.

After dinner, a tipsy Wang Cheng was picked up by his assistant, and Tan Wen was also helped back to the hotel by Wang Churan.

With Wang Churan's help, Tan Wen managed to take a shower, then held her in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

The morning sun wasn't too strong; it had rained last night, and a misty fog hung in the air.

Wang Churan walked to the French windows, stretched out her long arms, and pulled back the heavy curtains. Sunlight flooded the entire bed, and Tan Wen woke up.

He got up, leaned against the pillow, and rubbed his throbbing temples.

Wang Churan returned to bed, leaned on Tan Wen's shoulder, looked at the sunlight outside, and sighed: "You're going to Shanghai today?"

"Um."

"Does it really have to be this rushed?"

"Yes, it was arranged in advance." He had to rush back to comfort Lu Yuxiao, as she was going to record "The Actors" tomorrow.

"Alright, do you need me to accompany you to sign the contract today?"

"Sure, there are investors here today, you can go and get acquainted with them."

"it is good."

The two got up, washed up, had a casual lunch, and then took the subway together to the Maigaoqiao Entrepreneurship Park.

On the subway, Tan Wen was recognized. He responded in a friendly manner, but a burly girl squeezed in front of him and said in a childlike voice, "My period stopped for half a month, and today it finally came out of my nose. Thank you, Tan Tan."

After getting off the subway, Tan Wen, still shaken, found a convenience store, bought a few masks, and put them on.

Young people these days are too wild.

Ignoring Tan Wen's warning look, Wang Churan laughed all the way to the park, only stopping when they arrived.

The two arrived at Qingxin Studio, and Wang Cheng led them to the conference room to wait. About half an hour later, Wang Cheng and the three of them arrived at the conference room together.

After greeting the others, Wang Churan left.

"This girl has a good look," one of the middle-aged women said after Wang Churan left. She was the casting director, Fu Xue.

The other two nodded slightly; they were both producers.

"Who came with you?" Fu Xue asked Tan Wen.

"I'll get to know you guys better, in case you take a liking to me?" Tan Wen answered truthfully.

"You're very honest," Fu Xue said with a smile. "I heard you want to play a role?"

"Yes, of course it would be even better if he could be the lead actor."

Fu Xue said, "You have a great image, so giving you a role shouldn't be a problem, but a lead role is definitely out of the question."

"Could you explain why?"

"You'll have to ask yourself that. You wrote the character Xie Zhiyao, but you didn't write it according to your own image. You're too young."

"This can be made up for with makeup and acting skills."

Fu Xue said, "The makeup and styling are indeed good, and I also admire your acting skills, but there's just something missing. You look too young standing next to Liu Yifei, and we don't want the audience to have that feeling."

"Are you sure you want to use Liu Yifei?"

"We will kowtow to her, even if it takes several years."

"Now I believe you can make this drama a success."

"Of course, we certainly won't waste the story you wrote."

"When you're casting, at least give me a chance to audition, that should be alright," Tan Wen pleaded.

Fu Xue made eye contact with the two producers and nodded, saying, "It's not a big problem. Actually, I hope you can play Hu Youyu. Your image is a perfect match for his."

Tan Wen was aware of this, and he believed that he could play Hu Youyu very well.

He said, "Then save this role for me. If I can't play the male lead, this role is fine too."

Fu Xue agreed: "Shall we talk about the payment for the article now?"

"it is good."

Next, the two producers talked to him, and the final agreed-upon fee was 80 yuan before tax. At the same time, Tan Wen worked part-time as a screenwriter, but without any compensation.

He glanced at the contract, saw no problems, and signed it.

Before leaving, Fu Xue asked Tan Wen for Wang Churan's contact information.

In the afternoon, Tan Wen accompanied Wang Churan for a short stroll. Before leaving, seeing Wang Churan's disappointed expression, he almost softened and invited her to go to Shanghai together.

He felt that one day he would be defeated by his soft heart, and he didn't know if he could change this weakness in his character in the future.

After hugging for a while, they separated. Tan Wen promised her that he would visit her when he had time. He said it seriously, not just as a perfunctory remark.

When Tan Wen arrived at the Shanghai hotel, it was already dark.

Bai Lu was downstairs to meet him. She saw Tan Wen walking towards her wearing a mask. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Long time no see."

"It hasn't been that long, has it?" Tan Wen said with a smile.

Bai Lu led Tan Wen to the front desk.

She said to the receptionist, "I already mentioned it last time. I booked three months' worth, and the price was agreed upon last time. Please check the notes for Bailu."

After she finished speaking, she asked Tan Wen for his ID card.

The room was quickly booked, and Bai Lu took the room key. The two went upstairs, and in the elevator, Bai Lu pressed the button for the 26th floor.

Tan Wen frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Bai Lu lived on the 26th floor. He took the room card and saw that the room number was 2620.

This would make it a bit inconvenient for her to stay with Lu Yu for a while, as she doesn't want to reveal their relationship.

He hesitated whether to change rooms, but Bai Lu had already gotten off the elevator. When the two arrived at room 2620, Tan Wen knew he had to change rooms.

Since Bai Lu's room is 2619, and the two of them are next to each other, what kind of situation is this?
