Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

There were two screenwriters brought in by Liu Hongmei: one named Diao Yinan and the other named Cai Shangjun.

Both of them were students in the 87 class of the Central Academy of Drama.

Although it is a literature department, there are not many students in the Central Academy of Drama. Since students in the same year have to rehearse together, they basically know each other.

In the future, both of them will become directors and win international awards.

One film won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin International Film Festival for "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

Another film, "Crowds of People," won the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival.

They are all internationally renowned directors.

However, in 93, they were still two penniless nobodys.

You do a lot of things, but you don't get credit for them.

They didn't really make a name for themselves in the industry until they co-wrote the screenplay for "Spicy Love Soup" in 97.

Besides these two, there were two other people present.

One is He Bing, and the other is Chen Xiaoyi.

Both of them were brought here by Liu Hongmei.

Diao Yinan and Cai Shangjun, two miserable souls, were currently tearing their hair out while writing the script.

Meanwhile, Liu Hongmei, He Bing, and Chen Xiaoyi were discussing things at the other end of the table.

"Your Youth League Secretary and Xiao Yi, you both work at the Beijing People's Art Theatre and have several years of experience in theatrical performances."

"What do you guys think of this notebook?"

He Bing nodded.

"The story is definitely a good story. As long as we enrich the dialogue and polish it a bit, it should be fine to bring it to our theater for performance."

Chen Xiaoyi didn't speak, but silently nodded in agreement.

Liu Hongmei immediately burst into laughter.

"I had the same idea."

"I had already agreed with Ah-Xi that I would buy one of his scripts at the Hong Kong Island price."

"But he thought the price in Hong Kong Island was too high for me, and I didn't agree to lower the price, so he came up with this solution: he only gave me an outline and told me to come back and find someone to expand on the content myself."

"Then they only charged one-third of the price."

He Xi's explanation was that she didn't have time and was lazy, but Liu Hongmei's understanding was completely different.

"Only one-third were collected?"

He Bing and Chen Xiaoyi exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disbelief.

He Bing spoke up directly.

"He provided such complete content that you could fill in the script with just two dogs lying on the street. Does that mean he got a two-thirds discount?"

boom!

Across from them, Diao Yinan and Cai Shangjun simultaneously slammed their pens onto the table.

"Hey! We're still here!"

"If you want to say bad things about us, could you at least do it in private?"

"Since you look down on us, then just grab two random dogs from the roadside and have them write on them. I'm not putting up with this!"

He Bing waved from afar.

"Just kidding, write well, and I'll treat you guys to drinks when you're done!"

"I'll skip that drink with you!"

"This is so tedious, I can't stand it anymore, I quit!"

Diao Yinan and Cai Shangjun both showed disdain and made to get up and leave.

Liu Hongmei quickly spoke up.

"Ah Xi said that you can be credited in the screenwriter section, and that you will be responsible for all script requests from mainland China that are not from my students."

Diao Yinan had just gotten off the stool when he landed back down.

"I have a bit of low blood sugar, I'll sit down and rest for a while, Lao Cai, you can go ahead."

Cai Shangjun snorted coldly.

"I'm not as good at pretending as you are. I simply can't bear to part with this great story and want to do my part. Whether I'm credited or not doesn't matter!"

Diao Yinan frowned and stroked his chin as he spoke.

"Speaking of pretentiousness, who do you think is the most pretentious person here?"

"It must be Pei Kuishan. He's clearly incompetent, but he won't admit it. He's even deceiving himself. Isn't that enough of a charade?"

"That's true, so I think his dialogue could be improved..."

"You're right, and so is that other person too..."

Seeing the two of them re-entering the dialogue discussion, Liu Hongmei and the other two exchanged glances, all showing expressions that were both amusing and poignant.

They knew each other well, and He Bing was joking. Neither of them really wanted to leave; they were just taking the opportunity to vent.

However, their attitude of working hard despite being ridiculed is also the norm for newcomers.

Eileen Chang said, "One should become famous as early as possible."

No matter what industry you're in, you only gain respect from others when you become famous.

With a sigh, the three of them looked away and continued their previous conversation.

"Axi clearly wants to help me, but I don't want him to suffer a loss."

"So I was thinking, could I sell this script to your theater?"

"Your company has money, so you should be able to properly supplement Axi's income, right?"

He Bing nodded.

"Although we can't make the decision ourselves, we can talk to Professor Su Min, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

"but……"

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Liu Hongmei.

"Why do I get the feeling that you were swearing just now?"

"And it was in a foreign language!"

Liu Hongmei was speechless for a moment.

When He Xi first introduced himself to her, he casually said "A Xi, right?"

She didn't realize it at the time, but she understood the ambiguity of the word later.

While I found it funny, I secretly vowed never to practice saying those three words again, but I accidentally blurted them out anyway.

That's a bit rude.

Just like you can't call Ronald Cheng "Little Cheng"... something like that.

Speaking of which, there's a real reason behind the name Leo Ku.

In short, Liu Hongmei once again engaged in self-reflection, and subsequently joined He Bing and Chen Xiaoyi in completing the dialogue for Diao Yinan and his companion.

This busy work lasted until the early hours of the morning.

On the other hand, He Xi slept soundly through the night and got up early the next morning full of energy to go to the film set.

As usual, after a series of odd jobs, He Xi unexpectedly ran into Zhang Min again.

"Good morning, Min-nee!"

After saying hello, He Xi turned to leave.

He did not disregard Li Zi's warning.

Moreover, he knew about Xiao Xiang's background from the beginning and didn't intend for anything to happen between him and Zhang Min on set.

There are too many people around; if something were to happen, it would have to happen outside.

Well, with Zhang Min's looks and figure, unless he's a eunuch, it's hard not to be attracted to her.

He Xi was no exception.

Because of the system's existence, He Xi's interest in Zhang Min was actually greater than that of many others.

But shivering is easy; the trouble that follows is not so easy to bear.

At least he doesn't have the capacity to handle it yet.

So it's better to be honest.

But He Xi tried to avoid him, yet Zhang Min insisted on coming closer.

"So eager to leave..."

She stepped forward and blocked He Xi with her pair of breasts.

Are you afraid of me? Or am I so ugly that I scared you?

He Xi dared not move, much less reach out, and could only retreat as far as possible.

"Min-jie, you've misunderstood."

"You're very beautiful, and you have a great figure, better than any woman I know..."

"I...I just have work to finish!"

Zhang Min smiled and shook his head.

"From now on, you no longer need to do odd jobs. I'm hiring you as my personal assistant, responsible for my makeup, clothing, and so on."

"I want you!"
