A parent who was out with their kids accidentally stumbled into a 5-ha show, and their alter ego sho

"Yes, that's true."

Faced with everyone's questions, Xia Chuan calmly nodded and continued peeling crayfish for Xia Nian.

"Holy crap! Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Deng Chao jumped up abruptly, somewhat panicked.

Not only him, but also actors Chen He and Tian Yu stared intently at Xia Chuan, and even Dilraba Dilmurat looked at Xia Chuan in surprise.

Although Shu Chang was also surprised, she glanced at the composed Liu Yifei beside her and quickly accepted the situation.

After all, she had known all along that Xia Chuan was the real big shot.

In the past few years, he has gained a lot of resources because of his relationship with Liu Yifei.

As for why they reacted so strongly, it's because Wenquxing Culture Co., Ltd., which owns the copyright to the "trilogy," announced some time ago that it would be filming the "trilogy" and was recruiting directors and actors from all over the internet.

Deng Chao's films in recent years haven't been very good, so he naturally wants to seize this opportunity to become popular again. However, the competition is fierce, and even for a film emperor like him, it is extremely difficult to successfully land a lead role in one of the films.

Now, suddenly telling him that the author of this trilogy is his good brother is no different from finding out that his good brother is the president of the United States.

While eating the shrimp that Xia Chuan had peeled, Xia Nian looked up and asked in confusion, "Uncle Deng, you didn't ask Dad either."

Deng Chao: "???"

Liu Yifei chuckled, tapped Xia Nian's head, and teased, "You little rascal, how can you talk like that?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Nian chuckled and said, "I was just joking with Uncle Deng."

Deng Chao shook his head, then rubbed his hands together, walked directly behind Xia Chuan, placed his hands on Xia Chuan's shoulders, and slowly massaged them. He said in a flattering voice, "Chuanzi, with our relationship, how about you get me a lead role? You know my acting skills; I can totally handle any role."

Xia Chuan remained silent, only closing his eyes briefly, his face filled with enjoyment.

Lu Han bluntly said, "Brother Chao, you're a relative of someone with connections."

The others chuckled, especially those familiar with Deng Chao, who found his shameless demeanor perfectly normal.

Upon hearing this, Deng Chao continued working, rolling his eyes at him: "Nonsense! With Chuanzi's connections, why would I even bother with an audition! It's not like I lack acting skills, I just need an opportunity!"

"Relationships are part of one's strength!"

"If you don't know how to use your connections, aren't you a fool?"

You know what, Deng Chao's remarks, though seemingly unfair, were indeed unfair to those who went for interviews at Wenquxing Culture Co., Ltd.

But there is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world, only relative fairness.

In a society based on personal relationships, absolute fairness is impossible.

Shu Chang nodded in agreement and said, "I think Brother Chao is right. Since we have this connection with Xia Chuan, we should naturally make use of it, otherwise it would be a waste, wouldn't it? Don't you agree, Brother Chuan?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Yifei beside her with a smile, and the latter nodded with a smile.

Seeing that his wife and best friend had spoken up, Xia Chuan naturally couldn't keep everyone in suspense any longer. So he shrugged and said, "Of course, after all, you are all our dearest friends and family. This little thing is no problem. However, if you want to win a role, you first need to have acting skills. After all, I don't want my work to be ruined."

Upon hearing this, Deng Chao immediately broke into a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum: "That's for sure. If I didn't have acting skills, I, your brother Chao, would still have a lot of pride and wouldn't have told you on my own initiative."

Shu Chang smiled confidently; she had long possessed the skill to act.

Tian Yu coughed and looked at Xia Chuan, saying, "Chuanzi, um, do you think I could handle the role in your work?"

Xia Chuan laughed and said, "Brother Yu is fine. His acting skills are more than enough. We'll see which role suits you best. We don't need to go to an audition or anything."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yu's face immediately lit up with joy. He also got carried away, picked up the freshly opened beer on the table, held it up with both hands, and exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Chuanzi! I don't know how to express my gratitude, it's all in this beer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yu tilted his head back and flashed a smile.

"Gurgle gurgle".

Xia Nian clapped excitedly and said, "Wow! Uncle Tian is so amazing! He can actually brag about beer, but I can't even brag about a bottle of cola."

"That unlucky kid." Chen He chuckled and tapped her, then looked at Xia Chuan with a sly grin: "Chuanzi, have you chosen a director yet?"

Upon hearing this, everyone paused, even Tian Yu, who had just shown off a bottle of beer, looked at Xia Chuan, clearly curious as well.

It's impossible for one person to lead the production of three works.

Xia Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "Well, one of the works will definitely be given to Zhang Yimou, after all, he is an employee of my company."

This time, no one was too surprised, because they had already finished being surprised.

"For the remaining two works, do you have any recommendations for authors?" Xia Chuan asked Chen He.

Everyone glanced at Chen He thoughtfully, clearly guessing what he was thinking.

As expected, Chen He chuckled and said, "Chen Kaige is indeed my uncle. Although he's not my blood uncle, we're quite close. I was thinking if you don't have any major requirements, could I introduce him to him?"

Chen Kaige is a well-known director in China. His works have received mixed reviews, some good and some bad, but it is undeniable that his directing skills are indeed top-notch.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble or make arbitrary changes, and simply follows the original work in his filming, I believe it will definitely be good.

Xia Chuan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, you can have this favor."

Upon hearing this, Chen He's eyes lit up: "Great! Great! You're truly my good brother!"

Lu Han didn't have much interest in the rehearsal; he was more focused on singing now. Deng Ziqi felt the same way, and as for the three little ones, Wang Mian, they were well aware of their own limitations.

Xia Chuan showed some consideration for the three, saying with a smile, "It's alright to let the three of them go in and make a cameo appearance."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled, and Wang Mian and the other two looked at Xia Chuan with even greater surprise.

Wang Mian stood up abruptly, walked to the back, knelt on one knee facing Xia Chuan, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and declared in a resounding voice, "For Brother Chuan, Niannian, and my sister-in-law whom I have yet to meet, I will serve you to the death!"

Wow! You have to admit, Northeasterners are really witty and resourceful!

Seeing this, Zhang Yanqi and Wang Chen panicked. "You're going to unleash your ultimate move right from the start!"

The two immediately followed Wang Mian's example, kneeling on one knee and shouting at Xia Chuan.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

It has to be said that this scene made everyone laugh so hard they were clutching their stomachs, but they secretly admired the three of them because the three little guys were very smart and knew who the leader was.

Xia Nian's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood on the sofa, trying her best to appear dignified. She slightly raised her chin, raised her small hand, and said in a detached voice, "Well, my beloved subjects, rise."

This remark amused everyone once again.

Finally, Dilraba looked at Xia Chuan expectantly and asked, "Xia Chuan, what about me? What roles can I play?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei glanced at Xia Chuan with a half-smile. The latter swallowed hard and then said irritably, "You? You're best suited to play a beggar."

"ha?"
