Chapter 43 Dong Xuan: Yan Li must have been bewitched by a vixen!
"Mr. Li, take care."

After seeing Li Peng off, Yan Li couldn't help but smoke a cigarette. It was not easy to deal with such an old fox. He had been on edge just now.

Without outsiders around, Dong Xuan, who had been pretending to be invisible, immediately became much more lively. She hugged Yan Li's arm and looked at him with some admiration.

"You're amazing! Such a big producer was fooled by you."

Yan Li: “…”

How can you say that? What do you mean by fooling around?

Dong Xuan listened to him and gave him full authority over related matters. Isn't this equivalent to Yan Li being her agent?

As for the local tyrants, Yan Li had dealt with many leaders of intermediaries when he was running the group, and had channels to contact them.

There are art colleges in Beijing. Not to mention his alma mater, the Beijing Film Academy, Yan Li does know some people in several other schools. Although they are mainly students, they are acquaintances nonetheless.

All I can say is that Yan Li's words were somewhat processed and exaggerated, but it was by no means deceiving the other party.

More importantly, Yan Li can do what he promised. With the system in hand, he has already figured out how to act.

If the boasts you made can come true, then that’s really awesome!
But no matter what, Yan Li was in a good mood after winning the first battle, and he was even more heroic after being praised by Dong Xuan.

"Leave the rest to me, and just wait to be the heroine."

"It's so kind of you."

Dong Xuan gave him a passionate kiss, but in fact she didn't believe that Yan Li could make her the heroine.

She didn't know the system and had no idea of Yan Li's true calculations and reliance.

In Dong Xuan's opinion, although Yan Li said something about preconceived ideas, and planned various appearances for her, and even successfully established a connection with Li Peng, the matter was still hanging in the balance.

Behind them are students from several art colleges, as well as graduates and non-professional actors who have come to Beijing to act.

I guess there will be hundreds, if not a thousand, of actors competing with her. How can it be that easy for her to get ahead?!

However, it doesn’t matter if she can’t be the heroine. Dong Xuan likes and is touched by Yan Li’s various efforts for her.

He still has me in his heart!
Dong Xuan even began to feel a little guilty. Yan Li hadn't completely calmed down yet, and she had been working so hard for a slim chance to play the female lead. In the end, she had thrown a tantrum and wanted to break up with him. It was really wrong.

Maybe I misunderstood at the beginning. Yan Li cares about me so much, how could he have such dirty thoughts.

She must have been bewitched by that vixen named Huang!
Thinking of this, Dong Xuan looked at Yan Li with unusual tenderness: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Just eating?"

After all, she was his ex-girlfriend of more than a year, so Yan Li knew Dong Xuan very well. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he keenly realized that he could take advantage of her.

Dong Xuan sensed Yan Li's ill intentions and pursed her lips: "Then what else do you want to do?"

Yan Li whispered something in her ear, and Dong Xuan's face immediately turned red. She pinched him in embarrassment.

"Wasn't it just once that you didn't say it last time?"

"This is just once, and it won't happen again."

Unable to resist Yan Li's nagging, Dong Xuan finally nodded imperceptibly.

----

The next day, Yan Li drove a Sail to the hotel to pick up Li Peng and his assistant and headed to Beijing Film Academy.

The car is rented. I have to travel a lot these days, and it would be inconvenient without a car. It can also dispel Li Peng's doubts to a certain extent.

After all, there are no local tyrants who take taxis or buses every day!
For this purpose, Yan Li spent money to get a driver's license. These days, supervision in many areas is loose, and if you find the right person, you can get the license on the same day.

After entering Beijing Film Academy, Yan Li parked the car and took Li Peng and the other man into the office building with familiarity.

"Teacher Wang, thank you for your hard work. Come and have a cigarette."

"Teacher Sun, you are beautiful again."

"Hey, Teacher Cui, long time no see. Are you feeling well?"

"..."

After returning to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, Yan Li felt like a fish in water and greeted the teachers he knew with great joy.

Although Yan Li was in a vocational class at the Beijing Film Academy, he had good grades, was sweet-spoken and good at dealing with people, and was very popular with his teachers.

If Yan Li hadn't been too busy hanging out with Dong Xuan to have time, the positions of class monitor and student union president wouldn't have gone to his roommate Zhang Songwen. Even the latter's success was thanks to Yan Li's help in canvassing for votes.

Even teachers who had never taught Yan Li had heard of his reputation to some extent. After all, he had dated the school beauty and beaten up his seniors, and was considered a prominent figure in the Beijing Film Academy.

After greeting everyone, Yan Li found the real person: "Teacher Hu, I'm here."

Hu Qiong, a graduate of the class of 88 from Beijing Film Academy, later stayed on to work at the school and currently also handles some management work.

Yan Li had taken his lines class before, so he was quite familiar with him. Besides, they had greeted each other before, so after a few pleasantries, they got straight to business.

Beijing Film Academy actually encourages students to go out and film, of course, the prerequisite is that they are in a regular crew. Li Peng had all the necessary documents, Yan Li, a graduate student, as an introduction, and the fact that she was a rare female lead, so Beijing Film Academy took her very seriously.

Hu Qi personally led them to the class to check on the students, and then cleared out a classroom to notify students who did not have classes to come for an interview if they were interested.

When choosing students for a class, you have to look at the teacher’s teaching style.

Some teachers don't care and even suspend classes to let the crew watch and choose freely; some don't suspend classes and let the crew enter the classroom to observe for a while, and pick a few who they like to talk to; some can only watch from the door and window, and call people after class; some simply ignore them and scold them if they dare to come.

Yan Li and Hu Qie both graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and had some understanding of the styles of their teachers, so they deliberately picked a "soft persimmon".

The teacher was very straightforward. He gave up the classroom after a few words to the students. Yan Li even stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his pocket without saying a word.

Afterwards, Yan Li looked at Li Peng and said, "Mr. Li, would you like to speak for yourself, or should I help you lay the groundwork?"

Li Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "You come, I'll just observe from the side."

Yan Li nodded and walked straight to the podium without any stage fright.

"Classmates, my name is Yan Li. I'm also a student at the Beijing Film Academy, Class of 2000, Department of Acting. I'm here today mainly to find a female lead for our production of 'A Thousand Miles to Find My Mother'..."

The classroom was bustling with activity. There were many film crews coming to the Beijing Film Academy to select actors, but there were only a few who could directly play the leading female role.

The male students were fine, it had nothing to do with them, they were just surprised that the senior on the stage was so awesome.

Everyone is about the same age, they are still in school, but they have already chosen the female lead.

The female classmates were eager to try, especially those who knew Yan Li, whose eyes lit up.

"Shengyi, Shengyi, isn't this the Senior Brother Yan Li you had such a passionate relationship with before?"

A thin, dark girl excitedly pushed Huang Shengyi, who nodded and looked at Yan Li on the stage with a complicated expression.

This bastard disappeared after taking advantage of me, and reappeared several months later, acting like a decent person.

"That's great. With your relationship with him, it's easy to get the heroine."

The dark and thin girl was surprised, but another girl next to her sneered: "Forget it, she has a girlfriend, it's not her turn. Besides, what about Jia Nailiang?"

Huang Shengyi couldn't help but retort: "I...I don't like Jia Nailiang."

The girl curled her lips and said, "You agreed to his confession even though he didn't like you. We all saw it. Now that your ex-lover has become successful, do you want to regret it?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Huang Shengyi retorted, pulled the thin dark girl and ran to the podium. At this time, Yan Li had finished his speech and had started accepting voluntary registrations.

Li Peng observed from the side, and if he thought someone was suitable, he would tell Yan Li, who would circle the person and then call the number he left to notify him of a re-interview.

There are so many choices, it’s so capricious!
If Yan Li had not taken Dong Xuan to meet Li Peng in advance, she might have been treated the same way now. The rounds of fighting were too unexpected.

"Brother Yan Li."

Huang Shengyi greeted Yan Li in a sweet voice. Yan Li looked up slightly and saw the school girl who had found a boyfriend as seen in the Daily Intelligence, and gave a polite smile.

"Shengyi, you come and sign up too."

"Uh-huh."

Huang Shengyi pulled the dark and thin girl next to him and said, "This is my classmate Wang Luodan. Let's sign up together."

Wang Luodan bowed obediently: "Hello, Senior Brother."

"Hello."

Yan Li took a pen to record information for the two of them, and Huang Shengyi took the time to inquire.

"Brother, are you in the crew?"

"Executive Producer."

Yan Li said confidently that being an agent was not a nice thing to do and it was not convenient for him to carry out his work, so Yan Li discussed it with Li Peng and took on the title of executive producer.

They know that this title is just a name, but it is still very intimidating to outsiders.

"Amazing."

Huang Shengyi's voice instantly became sweeter, and Yan Li was also slightly proud and chatted with her with a smile.

After leaving the classroom, Li Peng couldn't help but ask, "That girl just now was quite good-looking. Do you know her?"

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "Which one?"

"It's the girl you chatted with for quite a while. You two were talking and laughing."

"Oh, her, I'm not familiar with her."
