Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Liu Shishi is gone.

He didn't leave that day, but stayed for four days after getting hooked, before reluctantly leaving under pressure from Cai Yinong's phone call.

When she left, she was probably full, and even her tone when speaking to Wang Weili became much harsher.

"Think it through carefully, who do you choose, me or Nazar!"

After saying that, Liu Shishi quickly slipped away, afraid that she would hear an answer she didn't want.

Wang Weili felt quite helpless from beginning to end.

He quickly put the matter out of his mind and went back to his work.

"Mango TV has confirmed that 'Swords of Legends' can be scheduled to air on March 5th, taking over the time slot from Yu Zheng's version of 'Swordsman'."

Jiang Sanshi stopped, took a sip of coffee, and glanced at Wang Weili.

"To improve the broadcast effect, we've suggested that Hunan TV arrange for you to appear on an episode of Happy Camp to promote the drama..."

"Appear on variety shows."

Wang Weili gave a noncommittal smirk.

He went to film TV dramas to play roles and boost his popularity.

If you participate in a variety show like Running Man, which is highly entertaining, it can boost your popularity.

However, going to Happy Camp to act and joke around with those people didn't help with his acting or popularity.

Seeing that Wang Weili seemed reluctant, Jiang Sanshi said, "The first broadcast rights for 'Swords of Legends' were sold to Hunan TV, so of course they hope the drama will be a hit."

"so?"

"They can get you and a few other actors on a show, but the main character on the show is a South Korean star."

"Suddenly I don't want to go anymore."

Wang Wei expressed his true thoughts through humor.

Jiang Sanshi advised, "The main problem is that Yang Mi is busy, and your popularity isn't high enough. Happy Camp also has viewership targets."

"If you treat it as a business transaction, I can certainly understand that approach, but I really don't want to go..."

"Willie, Happy Camp's ratings are still high, and the show's promotion is also beneficial for the broadcast of the TV series."

"I understand, didn't you just mention Yang Mi?"

Wang Weili raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he didn't plan to go, but Yang Mi could go instead!

Jiang Sanshi's expression turned bitter: "If Yang Mi could go, with her current popularity, Happy Camp could definitely dedicate an entire episode to us, but Yang Mi is unavailable!"

Did she give a reason?

"After filming for 'Swords of Legends' wrapped up, she immediately went on to film 'Tiny Times' and is currently rushing to meet the filming schedule."

"...Let me ask."

In order to avoid the pain of publicity, Wang Weili was still willing to call Yang Mi to try to summon her.

Jiang Sanshi shrugged, picked up his coffee, and acted somewhat nonchalantly.

He called this morning, and Yang Mi said she couldn't spare a day, so there was no reason for her to be free now.

When the call connected, Wang Weili placed his phone on the table and turned on speakerphone.

"Hey Honey, how have you been lately?"

The call time kept changing, but Yang Mi didn't respond for a long time.

Wang Weili pursed his lips, looked up at Jiang Sanshi, and then realized that Jiang Sanshi was looking at him... How embarrassing!

When 10 seconds had passed in the call and Wang Weili was considering whether to continue, Yang Mi's signature lazy yet sharp voice finally appeared.

"Do you need my help again?"

Her tone was full of vigilance, and Yang Mi sounded like she was nervously shaking her leg on the other end of the phone.

After a moment's thought, Wang Weili felt that he needed to take a roundabout approach this time and couldn't make his demands as directly as before.

"No! I just heard you're filming a movie in Shanghai recently, and I was wondering if you'd like to come out for a coffee."

"Just coffee?"

Yang Mi's voice was full of suspicion, but not resistance.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sanshi's gaze toward Wang Weili began to change.

However, what impressed him even more was yet to come!

Wang Weili asked, "If I said I had something else to talk to you about, would you still be willing to come out?"

"Ha, I knew it! Why would you contact me if there was nothing wrong?... What's up?"

Yang Mi's sudden change of tone almost made Jiang Sanshi's eyes pop out.

It can be this simple?

No! She must be just being polite.

Once Wang Weili tells her what happened, she will refuse and won't even come out for coffee.

Based on his own experience, Jiang Sanshi "predicted" Yang Mi's actions in advance.

Wang Weili was also anticipating Yang Mi's move: "I want to meet and talk. Can you come over now? I'm at Starbucks in Xuhui."

Is there only one Starbucks in Xuhui District?

"The Starbucks near Xujiahui subway station."

"Are you kidding me?! You want me, a big star, to go to the downtown area for coffee? Tsk, I'll put on some makeup and be there in an hour."

After the call ended, Wang Weili put away his phone and went to look at Jiang Sanshi.

He sat there blankly, holding a mug at an angle, coffee stains swirling on the cup, the whole scene resembling a modern sculpture.

Wang Weili shrugged, mimicking Jiang Sanshi's earlier gesture: "She said she'd be there in an hour."

"Um... what are you going to say later?"

"To tell the truth."

"But Yang Mi said she's busy!"

Jiang Sanshi's stubbornness is just like his deliberately grown goatee; no one cares about him except himself!

"You want me to go on Happy Camp and promote Gu Jian Qi Tan?"

An hour later, Wang Weili's summoned beast, Yang Mi, wearing a knitted hat and sunglasses, questioned Wang Weili's request while drinking her freshly served coffee.

Why should I go?

"Help yourself increase your popularity."

Wang Weili very cleverly packaged his desired goal as something beneficial to Yang Mi.

This action left Jiang Sanshi, who was standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.

Yang Mi frowned suspiciously: "Tell me, how is it to help me increase my popularity?"

"Your breakup with Hawick Lau led to the dismal ratings of your new film, The Summer of Love. Coupled with the soft ban on you in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, if you want to continue to work and increase your exposure, Swords of Legends is the best choice."

Wang Weili's analysis was logical and well-founded, and Yang Mi couldn't find any flaws in it for the time being.

"What you said makes sense, but my film is also in production and I really can't find the time to record the show..."

"Honey, do you remember something I once told you?"

Every time Wang Weili called her "Sister Mi," Yang Mi knew he had ulterior motives.

This includes this time as well.

However, Yang Mi still couldn't help but ask, "Which sentence?"

"As I said before, being able to switch between multiple film crews and play multiple roles while maintaining clear division of labor and not being affected is an amazing skill."

Wang Weili stared at Yang Mi with bright eyes, his expression sincere and earnest, making it hard to look away from his face.

Yang Mi looked into Wang Weili's eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "You want me to film multiple projects at once?"

"Does a movie like Tiny Times really require you to give it your all?"

"That's true..."

Yang Mi nodded, unconsciously following Wang Weili's words and thinking about them, and then she felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

"Hmm~, I'll go back and plan my time, and squeeze in a day to record the show."

"OK!"

Jiang Sanshi was overjoyed. This time, he was truly impressed by Wang Weili. So this was the real male succubus!

Yang Mi glanced at Jiang Sanshi, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned down.

"Since Honey has agreed to participate in the show..."

Wang Weili clasped his hands together lightly and said to the two of them, "Then I won't go!"

Jiang Sanshi: "..."

Yang Mi: "..."

The next moment, they both thought: Are you kidding me?
