Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Guo Jinming's eyes widened, and the script in his hand was crumpled into a pile.

He caught a glimpse of the camera peering greedily at him out of the corner of his eye, and managed to hold back his outburst.

"This is my novel. Do you think I don't know the characters' emotions at the time? Do you need to teach me?"

"You have to overcome your vanity when it comes to acting; you can't assume there's something wrong with the script just because you can't perform it."

"As an actor, you must respect the script from the bottom of your heart. Even if the script is absurd, we have to make it reasonable through our performance."

"You can't say that if you can't act it out, you have to change it."

Guo Jinming spoke at length, and he was very satisfied with his presentation, which demonstrated his professionalism well.

Over the years, his most sensitive issue has been people criticizing his professionalism.

Tan Wen had long heard of Guo Jinming's sophistry; he was adept at using grand principles that no one could refute at the moment to cover up the most fundamental issues.

If you choose to refute his reasoning, you will fall into his trap.

Tan Wen didn't refute his point of view, but calmly asked, "So you admit that this script is absurd?"

After hearing his question, Wang Churan gave up and closed her eyes. Yu Xiaotong quietly took a few steps back.

The director, who had been dozing off behind the camera, perked up at Tan Wen's reaction and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Who recruited this genius?"

Guo Jinming stared at him for more than ten seconds without saying a word. Tan Wen wasn't intimidated by him; he had never intended to cooperate with him anyway, so offending him was no big deal.

He stood in front of Guo Jinming, his tall figure completely overshadowing him.

Finally, Guo Jinming's eyes turned bloodshot, he threw the script in his hand into the air, and turned to leave.

The script pages were falling down with a rustling sound, creating a scene reminiscent of an idol drama.

The production crew was stunned for a moment, then split into two groups: one group went to dissuade Guo Jinming, and the other group asked Tan Wen to apologize to Guo Jinming.

Tan Wen waved his hand dismissively: "Let whoever wants to advise me, stop being so fussy."

At this point, Yu Xiaotong couldn't stand it anymore and blamed Tan Wen for disrespecting the director and affecting everyone's work.

Tan Wen rolled her eyes at him: "You're more effeminate than him."

"You..." Yu Xiaotong clenched his fist, but dared not swing it, because rumors were already circulating that he had committed domestic violence.

Wang Churan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, his mind in turmoil.

So actors can be this confident in front of directors? Then what was the point of me being so nervous before?

Also, his eyes looked like he was looking at trash?

……

About half an hour later, Guo Jinming was persuaded to return. The director spoke to Guo Jinming...

When it airs, Tan Wen will be edited to appear arrogant and self-willed, while Guo Jinming will be portrayed as a victim whose good intentions are not appreciated.

Tan Wen saw that it was getting late and didn't want to keep Lu Yu waiting. Guo Jinming was a very proud person, and there was no point in arguing with him.

We decided to perform according to his requirements first, since it would be shown in front of all the directors and audiences tomorrow, and the outcome would be decided then.

This time, Tan Wen did not waste the performance props.

Around seven o'clock, the recording finally ended. All three of them were exhausted, and Tan Wen immediately changed his clothes.

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Churan called him back. She ran towards Tan Wen, the precipitous peak swaying precariously.

"Let's have a meal together and chat."

"I'm busy." Tan Wen sensed the coldness in his tone and added, "I have to pick someone up. Maybe next time."

"Okay." Wang Churan was a little surprised, after all, very few boys would refuse her, she was indeed an oddball.

"How about we go eat?" Yu Xiaotong suggested immediately after Tan Wen left.

"Maybe next time, I'm a bit tired today."

Yu Xiaotong: "..."

After Tan Wen walked out of the building, he found Zhou Ye sitting near the flower bed, nodding his head repeatedly.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Tan Wen gently woke Zhou Ye.

Zhou also looked up, pouted, and didn't say anything.

"What, did I offend you?"

"What's wrong with you? Why have you kept me waiting for so long?"

"When did I make you wait for me?"

"Aren't you going to pick up Lu Yuxiao? Of course I'll go with you."

"Okay, I'll take a taxi!"

"You still haven't told me why it took you so long to come out."

"I had a very in-depth and friendly exchange with Director Guo, which took up a little time," Tan Wen said casually.

Zhou Ye jumped up and exclaimed, "Did you have a fight with director Guo Jinming?"

Tan Wen was speechless; how could she have guessed that?

······

Lu Yu held her phone, feeling somewhat annoyed.

She had previously sent her parents a WeChat message, asking rather tactfully whether they could accept a guy from another city.

Her parents are usually the most responsive to her messages, but this time, more than ten minutes have passed and there has been no activity in the family group chat.

They're probably all busy!

So what should I do tonight? Should I call him? No, I can't. It's five o'clock now. He should have finished recording for today. I need to make him contact me first.

Two hours later...

Damn Tan Wen, you haven't forgotten me, have you? Fine, if you don't look for me, I won't look for you either.

Thump thump thump...

"Were you by the door the whole time?" Tan Wen asked in surprise, because the door opened right after he knocked.

Lu Yu was somewhat annoyed at his own lack of self-control. "Why are you so late?"

"It didn't finish until almost seven o'clock," Tan Wen casually remarked. "Pack up, come to my place tonight."

It ended close to 7 PM, so he rushed over immediately after finishing recording? Wait, what does "going to his place tonight" mean?

Lu Yu took a few steps back. "No, that won't do."

"What are you thinking about all day?"

Tan Wen stepped aside, and Zhou Ye peeked out with her cute little head.

"Oh, you, you're Zhou Ye?" Lu Yuxiao happily greeted her.

"Little Lulu, I'm going to sleep with you tonight."

Zhou Ye held her hand, and the two of them jumped and twirled happily, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

After Lu Yuxiao understood the situation, he said, "You guys can just make a call, and I'll come right over. Why bother making a trip?"

"It's because someone felt sorry for you and insisted on picking you up," Zhou Ye joked.

Lu Yu lowered his head, his mood much better.

Tan Wen finished packing his things. "Let's go eat first."

Zhou Ye: "No need to eat out. Sister Chen Yao ordered crayfish and other food. Let's eat back at the hotel, chat and play cards together tonight!"

······

Inside Zhou Ye's room, the group placed their takeout in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sat around it, and happily ate.

Zhou Ye was very curious about the argument between Tan Wen and Guo Jinming and asked about it the whole way, but Tan Wen refused to talk about it. Zhou Ye finally gave up and started asking about his love life.

Chen Yao was also curious, but unlike Zhou Ye, she wasn't overly familiar with people. She just listened attentively with her ears perked up.

Tan Wen said to Lu Yu, "When you like someone, a mole will grow on their right hand."

Lu Yu was a little puzzled and opened his right hand to examine it carefully.

Tan Wen smiled and said, "When you look intently at your right hand, it means you really have someone you like."

Lu Yu realized he had been tricked. Seeing the teasing looks on Zhou Ye and Chen Yao's faces, he glared helplessly at Tan Wen.

"And what about you? Let me see your right hand." Zhou Ye's gaze fell on Tan Wen's hand.

Tan Wen took off his transparent gloves, wiped the oil off his hands, and stood up. "I'm full. I'm going back to rest now. I'll leave Lu Yu to you."

Zhou Ye pouted: "You have to tell me."

······

at night.

After washing up, Tan Wen lay in bed playing on his phone when he suddenly received a text message from He Mi'er.

"You invited me to visit your hometown, Wuhu, last time. I've decided to go during the National Day holiday. Now I'd like to formally invite you to be my tour guide. Would you accept the invitation?"

Tan Wen chuckled. This girl was quite proud, insisting on taking the initiative. "It's my pleasure!"

A semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared.

You accepted He Mi'er's invitation.

[Reward: Camera Language Skills Lv4 (Secondary), Advanced Dialogue Skills *3 (48 hours)]

What a pleasant surprise! I forgot about that. This reward is a perfect gift. I'll take a look at it later and make sure I'm well-rested for tomorrow's recording!

······

Lu Yuxiao and Zhou Ye were chatting in bed, and surprisingly, Zhou Ye didn't gossip about her love life.

She could actually sense Tan Wen's concern for Lu Yuxiao, a concern that Tan Wen hadn't shown to He Mier last time.

Moreover, she could also sense Lu Yu's disdain for Tan Wen; it was too obvious. The two of them would probably end up together.

"Do you think I'll be able to get acting roles after this show?" Lu Yu asked with some concern.

"Did you know you're almost 200 million fans now? Everyone likes you, including me. I believe it won't be long before someone hands you a notebook."

"I hope so, but before that, I need to work on my acting skills. He questioned my acting. Oh, and she also praised your acting."

"Who? Tan Wen? Did he praise me?"

"Hmm, your acting skills are quite amazing."

"Really? Well, at least he has good taste," Zhou Ye replied beautifully.

"What should I do if my parents don't approve of a relationship?" Lu Yuxiao still hadn't received a reply from her parents.

Zhou Ye immediately stood up, sized up Lu Yu for a moment, and asked, "Honestly, do you really think you understand him?"

Lu Yu thought for a while and realized that she didn't actually know Tan Wen at all, so she shook her head helplessly.

Zhou Ye sighed. "I have a suggestion: if you want to understand someone, the best way is to go and see where they grew up."

Once you understand, first consider whether you can accept him as a whole. If you can, then you'll have the confidence to persuade your parents.

Lu Yuxiao seemed to be deep in thought, and gradually made a decision in his heart: perhaps he could take advantage of this National Day holiday to visit his hometown.

Having this idea in mind, she decided to discuss it with Tan Wen tomorrow to see if it would be convenient for her to visit his hometown for a couple of days during the National Day holiday...
