Feverish actress cried after being angered by haters, but discovered the real culprit was at her bed

Yu Nan couldn't hide his joy as he examined the script repeatedly.

His eyes were full of satisfaction with the character Ma Jiaqi, a fierce woman who could only curse from a wheelchair due to her disability.

From her constant attempts to die to a series of events involving two bumbling thieves, her will to live was finally ignited, and she decided to let go of the past and live a good life.

This script is so well written! It's not only tear-jerking, but the character arc is also incredibly well-developed. It's practically tailor-made for him.

She has been offered roles recently, but after reviewing several scripts, she found that they were either poorly made or the characters were stereotypical and monotonous, which were not what she wanted.

Yu Nan got up and circled around Lu Yan.

"Brother, you're a genius! You're planning to find someone to write this script...?"

Lu Yan knew what Yu Nan wanted to say and quickly interrupted her: "The director has already been found. I'll let you know later. I just came to tell you today."

Lu Yan felt a pang of embarrassment. He shouldn't mention Wang Quan'an anymore; he was still somewhat traumatized by their last collaboration.

Director Wang Quan'an is a good director; he's just not suited for commercial films. Last time on set, if he hadn't been so insistent on keeping an eye on things, the final product of "Stone" might have lost a lot of its comedic moments.

The last bit of an art film vibe.

So this time he still wants to find a director for a commercial film.

After leaving Yu Nan, Lu Yan returned to the school and went straight to the directing department faculty office.

This time, he wants to find a seasoned commercial film director to write the script.

With so many talented people in our Beiying Sect, it would be easy for us to invite the sect leader, or even just two senior elders.

This time, he plans to find Professor Wang Hongwei, the deputy head of the directing department, to be the director. Only people in the industry probably know the name Wang Hongwei, but most of his works are well-known masterpieces.

He produced films such as Crazy Alien, The Wandering Earth, and A Writer's Odyssey.

He is behind all of these initiatives. In addition, he is also a young director and the driving force behind the CFDG China Young Film Director Support Program (Green Onion Program).

Dedicated to teaching and developing the film industry.

After returning to school, Lu Yan did not rush to find Wang Hongwei. Instead, he went to the dean's office of the directing department to find Xie Xiaojing.

When he arrived at the office, Xie Xiaojing was working on the summer directing program's graduating class's practical arrangements. She had missed assigning a few students to practical groups, and Xie Xiaojing was currently feeling frustrated.

There was a knock on the door. Xie Xiaojing called out, "Come in!" The door opened, and a head popped in. Xie Xiaojing looked up and saw Lu Yan, and she visibly froze for a moment.

"Lu Yan..."

Xie Xiaojing immediately capped her pen and got up from her desk.

Lu Yan strolled in casually, his tone languid: "Dean Xie, long time no see."

Xie Xiaojing invited Lu Yan to sit down and brewed some tea. After sitting down, Lu Yan took a sip and praised, "Good tea, this must be a second-grade Da Hong Pao."

"You drink tea too?"

"My family is from Guangdong, so I've been drinking tea since I was little." Xie Xiaojing cheerfully poured tea for Lu Yan, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye as she did so.

"You didn't come here just for tea, did you?"

Lu Yan forced a smile and explained his plans to shoot a new film and find a director. Xie Xiaojing was delighted: "You're making a new movie?"

He was just wondering where to throw the remaining students when Lu Yan showed up. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.

"Well, that's why I wanted to ask Professor Wang to direct for me."

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee that Professor Wang will agree. As far as I know, he hasn't directed a film himself in a long time."

Xie Xiaojing then suggested that students participate in the production of the video to increase their practical experience, which made Lu Yan pause.

"Practice? You have to pay for it."

"No need, just provide them with three meals a day so they don't starve."

Lu Yan agreed without hesitation. Having more workers and getting paid for it was a win-win situation.

Moreover, you can leverage your connections at the school. What's that saying again? The teachers you meet at school are all big shots you can't reach once you're out in the real world.

If he were to go to Wang Hongwei on his own, Wang Hongwei would most likely ignore him, but if it were done in the name of the school, he would at least be given some face.

After the discussion was over, Lu Yan still hadn't left. Xie Xiaojing kept adding water to the teapot, but Lu Yan showed no sign of leaving. Unable to resist asking, "You...is there anything else?"

"It's alright, this tea is delicious, I'll have a couple more cups."

Hearing Lu Yan praise his tea, Xie Xiaojing smiled proudly: "You have good taste. This tea isn't cheap if you're using it as a staple. I still have some; take some home if you want."

Lu Yan put down his cup, his eyes fixed on the tea canister: "This... I'm so sorry."

"Squeak~"

"Dean, I'm leaving now. Come again next time."

In the office, Xie Xiaojing stared dumbfounded at the missing tea canister. "No, I was just being polite, how could you take the whole canister away like that?"

Xie Xiaojing slapped herself.

"Why are you being so polite with him...!"

......

Lu Yan carried the tea canister and headed straight for counselor Lao Wang's office.

Only Professor Zhang Hui was in the office, so Lu Yan waited for Old Wang to finish class. A few minutes after the bell rang, Wang Jinsong returned and was quite surprised to see Lu Yan.

"What are you doing here instead of going to class?"

Lu Yan took out some tea leaves and placed them on the table: "I brought you some tea leaves. This tea is delicious. Dean Xie tried it and praised it highly. I brought it for you specially."

Wang Jinsong glanced at the tea canister and saw that it had indeed been opened and had no outer packaging, so he accepted it.

Wang Jinsong opened the jar and smelled it: "Hmm, Da Hong Pao tea, smells so good... That's thoughtful of you. Alright, the teacher knows, go back and study hard."

It's true what they say, people naturally become more sensible once they gain social experience. Lu Yan used to be such a troublesome person.

Now that he's back, he even brings gifts to his teacher to show his respect. Wang Jinsong felt warm inside and incredibly gratified.

Lu Yan didn't leave, but stood there watching, rubbing his hands together as he looked at Wang Jingsong. Seeing Lu Yan's smiling eyes, the latter suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and tentatively asked, "You...is there something else?"

"Teacher, I have a favor to ask..."

"Get out! Get out of here..."

......

finally

Lu Yan still managed to get a classroom from Lao Wang, and Lao Wang promised to help him promote his new film and find actors at the school.

Since the goal is to go for a low-cost approach, the actors cannot be those with high salaries. Yu Nan is chosen because he is a good fit for the role and also has a large following.

That's why Yu Nan was chosen to star in the film. Besides contacting Yu Nan and some of the core main actors, he planned to find the remaining less important extras within the school.

When he participated in a preliminary selection process, the teachers from the provincial college always said that he didn't take care of the students from his own school.

About two days later, Xie Xiaojing called Lu Yan and told him to go directly to Wang Hongwei, as they had already communicated with him.

Lu Yan excitedly went to the school's archives department. Wang Hongwei only taught one class and didn't have many teaching duties, so he would sometimes be on duty in the archives room.

When Lu Yan arrived at the duty room of the archives, he did not see Wang Weihong. The archives office did not store files; the archives room was next door.

The office contained only a table and a bookcase, with some brown paper envelopes on the bookcase. The ceiling fan was still on, indicating that the person inside had just left.

Lu Yan sat in the chair and waited. About a minute later, he heard footsteps outside.

A young man carrying a kettle of hot water entered the room. He was clearly taken aback when he saw Lu Yan, and Lu Yan was greatly alarmed when he saw this man.

Holy crap, it's him!
