Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

Wu Wei was utterly shocked.

He quite likes the actor Zhang Ruoyun, especially his portrayal of Fan Xian in "Joy of Life".

But...why did you have this art style when you were younger?

That's way too wild!

Wu Wei couldn't help but glance at the lip ring on Zhang Ruoyun's lips a few more times, thinking that no wonder he sometimes felt there was a small hole next to Zhang Ruoyun's mouth when he looked at him. It turned out to be a scar left from when he had a lip ring when he was young.

Zhang Ruoyun noticed Wu Wei looking at him, but only gave him a cold glance before turning her head away expressionlessly and walking straight ahead.

Looking at his wild yet pretentious demeanor, Wu Wei couldn't help but chuckle.

This is a complete black mark on my past.

Zhang Ruoyun did not enter the undergraduate classroom, but instead went into the vocational college class 2 next door.

Wu Wei thought to himself, "So he's in a vocational college class. No wonder I've never seen him in Jing Tian's class before."

Just as he looked away, another familiar face appeared in his field of vision.

It's a round, baby-faced face with noticeable baby fat.

Isn't that Tan Songyun?

Is she also a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy this year?

The class of 07 at Beijing Film Academy is truly full of talented people.

As Wu Wei watched Tan Songyun walk into the classroom of Class 3 of the vocational college, he couldn't help but sigh: Tan Songyun's baby face is amazing. She is clearly a seventeen or eighteen-year-old college student, but she looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior high school student.

She's good enough to play Xiaoshui's younger sister.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Wei's eyes lit up.

Tan Songyun could really play Xiao Shui's younger sister; her face would be perfectly believable as a middle school student.

and……

His gaze then turned to the neighboring vocational class 2.

The role of the second male lead, A Tuo, seems quite suitable for Zhang Ruoyun.

She's handsome enough, but she won't steal the spotlight from the male lead.

Moreover, his reckless and roguish nature matched A-Tuo's slightly cynical attitude quite well.

Wu Wei suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

If Zhang Ruoyun and Tan Songyun are both willing to act, then there will be four big stars in his movie.

It will definitely be talked about by many viewers in the future.

Thinking of this, an even bolder idea suddenly popped into Wu Wei's mind.

Why not just assemble an "all-star lineup"?

He possessed a unique, hindsight-based perspective, knowing which people would rise to prominence.

Right now, they are either just ordinary students or still in a low-key developmental stage, and their pay is so low that it can be ignored.

If he could bring them all together to make his film, it would become an even more classic.

Even many years later, it will still be a topic of discussion and generate buzz.

Their fans will come back to dig up this so-called early masterpiece, watch it, and fall in love with it.

Maybe they can re-release the movie and make another wave of money.

Didn't many movies in the past do this?

If those people can earn this, why can't he?

Moreover, once he has money, he can register a company and sign these people in advance.

At that time, he will be the boss of these big stars.

Wu Wei became more and more excited as he thought about it, wishing he could finalize all the roles right now.

He already has the leads for the male and female leads, the second male lead, and the female lead's sister. The remaining important supporting roles are: the female lead's three best friends, the female antagonist "Mango Cake Girl" and her best friend, the male lead's senior student Xiao Bin who lies about being in a relationship, the funny English teacher Xiao Yin, and the beautiful female teacher Xiao Ou…

The female lead's three best friends need to be girls with average looks, which is hard to find at the Beijing Film Academy, so we can leave this to Anle.

As for "Mango Cake Girl", Wu Wei almost immediately thought of having Jing Tian play the role.

She has a sweet appearance, making her perfect for playing this kind of scheming, scheming school beauty supporting role.

And her best friend can be played by Kan Qingzi.

As for Senior Sister Xiaobin, Teacher Xiaoyin, Teacher Xiaoou... he hasn't decided yet, he can think about it some more and look for more.

……

After class that afternoon, Wu Wei sent Jing Tian a text message, asking her to meet him at a coffee shop near the school gate, saying he had something to talk about.

Jing Tian pushed open the door of the coffee shop, saw Wu Wei, and walked over with a smile to sit down: "What did you want to meet me about? You're not going to write a song for me, are you?"

"I won't let you ruin my song," Wu Wei joked.

They've gotten along quite well these past few days; they've reached the point where they can joke around with each other.

"See, we've been exposed!"

Jing Tian glared at him fiercely, feigning a fierce look: "So you really think I sing badly! Okay, what's wrong?"

Wu Wei took a file folder out of his bag and handed it to her.

"What? The script?"

Jing Tian curiously took it and opened it, only to see the words printed on the cover: "A Little Thing Called First Love".

She looked at it for more than ten minutes, then looked up and asked, "Did you write this yourself?"

"right."

Wu Wei nodded: "I want you to play the school beauty—Mango Cake Girl. Although she's not the female lead, she has quite a lot of screen time, so she's basically the second female lead."

Jing Tian looked at him, her expression somewhat subtle: "You think I sing badly, so you don't want to write songs for me. Now you're giving me a script because you think I'm a good actor?"

"I've never seen you act, how would I know if you acted well or not?"

Wu Wei spoke frankly: "I just think this role suits you very well, and I believe you can play it well."

"But……"

Jing Tian shook her head: "This role has too few scenes, I'm not interested."

Wu Wei was stunned; he hadn't expected her to refuse.

Jing Tian continued, "I want to play the female lead. I can bring my own investment to the production, and I can also help you get more screenings when the movie is released."

Wu Wei raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that Da Tiantian's background was indeed not simple, and she really had a big mouth.

"The female lead has already been cast." He shook his head.

"Who?" Jing Tian asked.

The script Wu Wei gave her only contained scenes for "Mango Cake Girl." For the parts involving the female lead, her name was replaced with "Female Lead," so she didn't know who the female lead was.

"The contract hasn't been signed yet, so I can't disclose anything at this time."

Wu Wei tried to persuade her: "Actually, a good supporting role can sometimes be more outstanding than the lead role. The movie you made before, although you were the female lead, was poorly made and did not help your career at all. But my movie is going to become a classic. Playing this supporting role will be good for your popularity and long-term development."

Jing Tian didn't listen at all and still insisted, "Then let me play the female lead, wouldn't that be even better?"

"It really won't work." Wu Wei's tone was very firm.

Jing Tian paused for two seconds, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested in supporting roles. But for this role, Kan Qingzi from our dorm should be quite suitable. She's pretty and could totally play the school beauty."

Seeing that she really didn't want to act, Wu Wei didn't force her: "Okay, then take the script back and show it to Kan Qingzi. There's also another role, her best friend. See if Chai Biyun is interested."

"Okay, they'll definitely be happy to." Jing Tian put the script into her bag. "Then I'm going back to my dorm."

"Okay, contact me as soon as you have any news."
