Huayu: I am the manager of Xiaohua (a popular Chinese entertainment company).

Chapter 117 Li Han: What senior? (Using job titles)

When Li Han asked Wang Cheran to introduce herself, he looked her up and down. To be honest, her outfit, especially her tight jeans, really accentuated her long legs.

Wang Ran blinked upon hearing this. She stood a few meters in front of the three people, her hands resting on her lower abdomen.

"—My name is Wang Ran, Chu from the state of Chu, and Ran from the state of Ran. I was born in Shanghai on January 21, 1999, and I am 18 years old this year."

"At the age of 20, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, I filmed a drama called 'Oh My General,' in which I played the second female lead. The female lead was Ma Sichun. — And, I started practicing dance in elementary school and have won awards —"

Although a little nervous, Wang Ran quickly and briefly introduced herself.

"Oh My General? Which platform is it on?" Cheng Wu tapped the table with a pen in one hand, asking curiously.

"Youku," Wang Ran said.

Cheng Wu nodded upon hearing this.

Looking at Wang Ran's bright face, Li Han couldn't resist teasing her.

"You were born in Shanghai, how's your Shanghainese? Let me hear it."

"————" Wang Ran panicked a little. She wasn't a native Shanghainese at all. She went to Shandong with her mother when she was a few years old, and her household registration wasn't in Shanghai. How could she possibly speak Shanghainese?

Oh no, their grandstanding has been exposed, and now they're in an awkward situation.

"Uh, senior, I grew up in Shandong when I was little," Wang Ran said somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Han feigned surprise and said in his hometown dialect, "Shandong? Which part of Shandong are you from? I'm from Jinan."

o

Upon hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Wang Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, she forced a laugh and said, "Zibo, it's from Zibo."

"Oh, it's not far, it's right next door, okay?" Li Han nodded with a smile.

In her previous life, Wang Ran initially pretended to be from Shanghai when she first debuted, but after being exposed by fans, she realized that being born in Shanghai wasn't very useful, so she simply continued to be active as a Shandong native.

Wang Ran smiled and nodded upon hearing this, "It's not far."

"You mentioned earlier that you had studied dance before," Li Han said again in Mandarin.

"Yes, senior, I learned dance when I was little, and I even appeared on a local Shandong program when I was 5 years old —" Wang Ran nodded.

Afterwards, Li Han and the other two asked Wang Ran a number of questions.

"That's enough, you can go now," Li Han said with a smile.

"Okay, senior." Wang Ran nodded, then bowed to the three of them again before leaving. Li Han assisted.

Reason followed.

After Wang Ran left, the three of them began their discussion.

"This girl has a great temperament and looks," Shen Ao said.

"Indeed, she's very tall, with typical Shandong girl features," Cheng Wu added.

"Indeed." Li Han nodded. In his previous life, there was a special term for girls with tall figures and excellent looks: "tall girls".

"Wang Ran is indeed excellent in many ways, but as for playing Chen Nian—she's not suitable," Li Han shook his head.

As for why it wasn't suitable, Li Han didn't say, but it just wasn't suitable.

"Yes." Cheng Wu and Shen Ao nodded.

"But this girl is indeed beautiful," Li Han added.

"I just don't know if she's signed with a management company."

"Probably not. Although she has already acted, if she had an agency, it would be on her resume," Shen Ao said.

Li Han knew that although Wang Ran's "Oh My General" was her breakthrough role, the production quality of this drama was indeed...

Big.

"Does Teacher Li Han want to sign this girl?" Cheng Wu asked Li Han curiously.

"I do have that idea, but it depends on whether she's willing or not." Li Han smiled slightly, and decided to find Wang Ran's homeroom teacher after the event and talk to her about it.

"Alright, let the next one in." Li Han looked up and gestured to his assistant.

Then the other girls from the 16th department came in one by one, and Li Han, who had already seen the vinegar, lost interest for a while. These girls did not know that they had become dumplings in Li Han's "dumplings made for vinegar".

That's how reality and the entertainment industry are: ten supporting roles set off one leading role—it's cruel and realistic.

Soon, Li Han and his two companions finished their interviews and then had another discussion.

"These girls are all pretty much the same, none of them are the Chen Nian I'm looking for—let's go to the Beijing Film Academy and take another look." Li Han said, then stood up.

"I'll go see the school leaders and talk to them about Wang Ran."

Li Han then went to find Wang Ran's homeroom teacher, and also met up with his own homeroom teacher, Luo Ren.

He directly told Wang Ran's homeroom teacher his purpose: there was no suitable actress for Chen Nian, but he thought Wang Ran was good and planned to sign her.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ran's homeroom teacher immediately took out her phone and called Wang Ran.

At this moment, the students of Department 16 had returned to their classrooms. The girls were chatting excitedly, and Wang Ran was also laughing and talking with her classmates.

Ring ring—The phone rang. Wang Ran frowned slightly, looked down and picked up the phone, only to find it was her homeroom teacher calling.

"Who is it?" a student asked curiously.

"It's the homeroom teacher's phone," Wang Ran said.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Wang Ran, staring at her intently.

"Could it be—" Wang Ran tensed up, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.

"Teacher—I'm in the classroom—"

Besides these few girls, the other girls in the class were also looking at Wang Ran. Everyone seemed to understand something; some were envious, and some were jealous.

"Yes, yes, Senior Li Han is here too? I'll go over right away." Wang Ran noticed the looks on everyone's faces and deliberately mentioned Li Han's name, instantly satisfying the girl's vanity.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ran looked at her classmates with a gentle smile on her face.

"My homeroom teacher wants to see me, I'm going." With that, Wang Ran quickly walked out.

Looking at Wang Ran's back, the girls in the class were truly envious. A movie leading lady! Many people in the entertainment industry would never be able to become a movie leading lady even after a lifetime.

In the office, Li Han was chatting with his homeroom teacher Luo Ren and Wang Ran's homeroom teacher.

Knock knock—the sound of knocking came from the door. Without a doubt, it was Wang Ran who had arrived.

"Go in," the homeroom teacher said.

Wang Ran then pushed open the door and came in. Her eyes were on the three of them. Her face was slightly flushed, and she was slightly out of breath, probably because she had run all the way here.

"Director Li—" Wang Ran greeted the three of them, not mentioning anything about being a senior or anything like that in front of her homeroom teacher.

Li Han: What do you mean by "senior"? I've said it so many times. When you're working, you should use your job title.

Li Han smiled as he looked at Wang Ran, who was tall and slender in front of him. Her long, straight black hair and long legs made her figure absolutely stunning.

"Sit down, then," the homeroom teacher gestured.

Wang Ran then stepped forward and sat down properly, facing Li Han.

"Ran." Li Han looked at Wang Ran, and upon hearing this, Wang Ran looked at Li Han with her bright, deer-like eyes, and slowly blinked.

It must be said that Wang Ran's eyes are truly outstanding, incredibly bright and intelligent, and possess a captivating, almond-shaped quality. Her bright and stunning face, paired with those eyes—

Wang Ran is simply a born enchantress.

"I think you have the aura of a natural star. Among all your classmates today, I can tell at a glance that you will become a star sooner or later," Li Han said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Li," Wang Ran said with a smile, her voice tinged with excitement.

"However—" Li Han's tone shifted again.

"The female lead in our movie might not be suitable for you."

Huh? Wang Ran was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his mood plummeted from the sky.

They're not going to cast me as the female lead? Oh no, I'm going to lose face big time now.

Judging from the way her classmates looked at her just now, if they found out she didn't get the lead role, who knows how they'd laugh at her behind her back.

"Uh, hehe." Wang Ran forced a smile. If you don't want me to be the female lead, why did you bring me here?

Seeing Ran's expression, Li Han smiled and continued speaking.

"So, I'm planning to sign you. You probably haven't signed with a company yet, right?"

"Sign me?" Wang Ran opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Yes, you haven't signed with a management company yet, have you?" Li Han nodded.

"Not yet." Wang Ran immediately shook his head.

"That's good." Li Han nodded.

"Let me briefly tell you about my studio—" Li Han then spoke slowly.

Upon hearing Li Han's words, Wang Ran couldn't help but blink.

"I can assure you that within the next six months, I will arrange a period drama series for you, and this series will make you an overnight sensation," Li Han said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ran's pupils contracted sharply, and she couldn't help but bite her lip. Her emotions were in turmoil, and she didn't know what to say.

Their homeroom teacher also said some good things about Li Han at this time. Looking at the scene, one might think they were on a blind date.

In her previous life, Wang Ran joined director Lü Haojiji's Jin Dian Film and Television after the broadcast of "Oh My General". This drama was 10

It was broadcast in [month], so Wang Ran did not join at that time.

"Um—" Wang Ran thought for a moment and looked at Li Han.

"Director Li, I'd like to discuss this with my mother, is that alright?"

Li Han nodded upon hearing this. "Okay, when will you give me an answer?"

"Uh, tomorrow?" Wang Ran actually wanted her mother to come to Shanghai to help her make a decision.

"Tomorrow won't work. I'm already back in Beijing tomorrow." Li Han shook his head; they had to leave this afternoon.

"How about this, Ran, you and your mother go to Beijing. I'll cover your travel and hotel expenses. Signing a contract with a company is a big deal, so we need to be careful. Your mother and I will discuss it together, and then you and your mother can decide on the specifics."

Li Han wasn't worried at all that Wang Ran wouldn't choose to join his company. At that time, Wang Ran was just a naive college student with nothing to offer, and she didn't consider the strength of other companies.

Moreover, Wang Ran's situation is quite special. Unlike Liu Haocun, who is a "Mou Girl" (a term referring to actresses discovered by director Zhang Yimou), Wang Ran's mother is not in the entertainment industry and has no say in Liu Haocun's future development. Zhang Yimou would not allow Liu Haocun's mother to interfere in her development.

Wang Ran's parents are divorced, and she has lived with her mother since she was a child. The two of them have depended on each other for many years, so she has always been very obedient and dependent on her mother.

Many people say that Wang Ran and Liu Yifei look alike, and their family backgrounds are also quite similar; both had divorced parents and grew up in similar circumstances.

Mom's life.

The only difference is that Wang Ran doesn't have a godfather, nor a mother who is bossy and extremely controlling.

"Yes, Director Li, no problem," Wang Ran replied immediately.

A period drama with a female lead within six months is indeed very tempting, but she doesn't know if it will become a hit.

Having worked on film sets before, she could clearly sense the differences in treatment between lead actors and supporting actors, and between the female lead and the second female lead.

"Let's exchange contact information. Are you going to Beijing with your mom tomorrow?" Li Han said, taking out his phone.

"I need to discuss this with my mother," Wang Ran said after thinking for a moment.

"Sure, no problem." Li Han nodded.

After speaking a few more words with Wang Ran, her homeroom teacher let her go. Li Han watched Wang Ran's retreating figure, and—

He used attribute detection on her buttocks.

Li Han exchanged a few more pleasantries with the two teachers, then got up and left.

When Wang Ran returned to her class, all the students immediately asked her if she had been selected.

"No, it's not like that," Wang Ran said with a smile, without any embarrassment on his face.

"It's not about the female lead, it's about something else."

As for anything else, even if her classmates asked or discussed it privately, Wang Ran didn't say why Li Han had contacted her, since things weren't settled yet.

Although nothing has been finalized yet, Wang Ran still wants to sign with Li Han's studio.

After having lunch with Shen Ao and Cheng Wu, Li Han took a plane back to Beijing in the afternoon.

Sitting on the plane, Li Han brought up the system and checked Wang Ran's attributes.

[Bound Person: Wang Ran]

[Six Dimensions: Appearance: A, Figure: A, Constitution: C, Growth Potential: B, Spirit: B, Temperament: B]

[Current personal skills: D-level acting, D-level vocal performance, D-level diction, B-level dance, C-level piano, C-level guitar —]

[A stunningly beautiful woman with exquisite features and a tall, enviable figure; a rare beauty in traditional Chinese dress in the entertainment industry.]

Holy crap, another one with both a beautiful face and a great bust! Xiwei, you've got a rival now.

Wang Ran's six dimensions are actually quite good.

However—" Li Han scrolled down to look at Wang Ran's personal skills and found that in addition to piano and guitar, she also played ukulele and hulusi.

I never expected Wang Ran to be so talented in music.
