This actor has something

Chapter 268 Confirming the Role
The drinks had just been taken out of the refrigerated truck. Not long after they were opened and placed outside, the bottles began to fog up. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the fog gradually turned into water droplets, which appeared crystal clear under the sunlight.

After a day of sun exposure, the afternoon sun is not as strong as it used to be, but it is still hot.

At this time, having a bottle of iced drink or ice cream can make you so happy that you will spiral into a trance.

There was no need to go over and distribute them one by one. As soon as the staff brought the ice cream and drinks into the crew, the children who had just finished filming a scene came over with anticipation on their faces.

Sometimes it’s pretty good to shoot a children’s drama. You don’t have to worry about all those miscellaneous rankings. Just some snacks can make the little actors very happy.

He Daqi had a smile on his face and was chewing an ice cream cone in his hand. He stood by and watched for a while, then Zhou Huimin next to him gently nudged him.

He Daqi turned his head and looked, without saying anything, just raised his eyebrows. The couple were in sync with each other, and Zhou Huimin knew that He Daqi was asking her what was the matter without him saying a word.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

After saying hello to everyone in the crew, the four of them returned to the nanny car and the convoy slowly drove away from the film and television base.

"Why do you suddenly want to leave? I think it's quite interesting to watch a bunch of little girls filming."

It was not until they got on the highway that He Daqi asked Zhou Huimin who was leaning on his shoulder.

"I didn't wear sunscreen today because I didn't want to stay in the sun for too long. Didn't you notice that Reba and Nazha got a little tanned?"

"I really didn't pay attention."

He Daqi still remembers the first time they met. At that time, the girls were really dark. Now their skin is gradually becoming fairer and he has gotten used to it. If there is a slight change, He Daqi really doesn't pay much attention to it.

Zhou Huimin did not respond. She rubbed her head on He Daqi's shoulder again, changed to a more comfortable position, and started reading the news on her mobile phone.

She was looking at her phone, and He Daqi wanted to look too.

However, He Daqi's cell phone was in his right trouser pocket, and with Zhou Huimin leaning on him, it was a little inconvenient for him to take it.

He glanced sideways at Zhou Huimin and found that she was absorbed in reading the news. He lowered his eyes and was able to see through the collar of Zhou Huimin's T-shirt.

He Daqi reached out and used his index finger to hook Zhou Huimin's collar outwards. He stretched his head and rubbed his eyes for a moment, then looked up at the bewildered Zhou Huimin and whispered, "Is it your zodiac year? And you're wearing bright red?"

It took Zhou Huimin a long time to react to what was happening. She sat up straight and looked forward twice. When she saw that Liu Ying and Wu Nannan didn't look back, she turned around and punched He Daqi three times.

"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Huimin asked with a ridiculous look on her face.

He Daqi chuckled twice, took out his phone from his pocket, and responded while happily pressing the phone: "You talk as if you have a very good brain."

Seeing his behavior, Zhou Huimin felt speechless. She rolled her eyes, leaned over again, and rested her head on He Daqi's shoulder to look at her phone.

Calm returned to the car.

It was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon when the nanny car stopped at the door of the villa.

The gate of the villa was locked. Zhou Huimin called her mother and found out that her mother had taken three Filipino maids to visit the city, and the two children were taken away by Mr. He and Mrs. He early in the morning. They would probably not be sent back until the evening.

After returning home, He Daqi was like a boneless person. After changing his shoes, he was ready to collapse on the sofa. Before he sat down, Zhou Huimin grabbed his arm.

"what happened?"

"Let's go back to the bedroom and I'll show you what your zodiac year is." Zhou Huimin looked straight into He Daqi's eyes and said coquettishly.

Damn! This is cannibalism!

"If I don't go, do you think I'm stupid? Last year was your zodiac year."

"I bought a few JK sets, a teacher's outfit, and plain black-framed glasses."

"...I don't want to play a student this time. I want to be the principal!" He Daqi happily pushed the giggling Zhou Huimin back to the bedroom.

……

……

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage, but He Daqi did not expect that this separation would last for three days.

The couple was unwilling to give in to each other and both wanted to gain the upper hand, and as a result, the offensive turned into a tug-of-war.

After not seeing them for three days, Liu Ying was dazed when she saw the radiant Zhou Huimin and the energetic He Daqi.

"Let's go." Zhou Huimin said in a hoarse voice after getting in the car.

Hearing the noise, Liu Ying and Wu Nannan turned around abruptly.

"Vivian, what's wrong with your throat?" Liu Ying asked worriedly.

Wu Nannan, who was sitting in the same row with her, also frowned.

It’s no wonder they made a fuss. Zhou Huimin is a singer and there can’t be any problems with her voice.

"...I caught a cold from the air conditioner." Zhou Huimin said casually.

Seeing He Daqi grinning silently with his teeth bared, Zhou Huimin kicked him in annoyance, signaling him to tone it down.

Seeing that Zhou Huimin didn't care and was in the mood to flirt with He Daqi, Liu Ying didn't ask any more questions and turned back to signal the driver Bai Wei to drive out.

Today I went to Yonghui Qiming to discuss the cast of the crew, and by the way, to see how Wang Jing's script was revised.

Not long after everyone arrived at Yonghui Qiming, Wang Jing arrived with the assistant director and editor.

It was Wang Jing's first time at Yonghui Qiming. He didn't rush into the conference room, but instead took a quick stroll before admiringly saying, "Your company is beautifully decorated. It's rare to see such a large film and television company in Hong Kong." Zhou Huimin was quite happy to be able to show off to an old acquaintance. She boasted to Wang Jing with a hoarse voice, "There aren't many film and television companies in mainland China that take up an entire floor. Besides, this whole building is mine. If the company expands in the future, we might be able to occupy several floors."

"It seems you really don't consider returning to Hong Kong." Wang Jing said with a slight sigh. He turned to look at He Daqi, his face instantly brightening: "Qizi, I haven't seen you for several months. I find you are even more handsome."

"Really? I feel that it's true that you, Director Wang, have lost weight compared to before." He Daqi responded happily.

The beginning was not a big deal. Wang Jing directly pulled He Daqi aside to chat for a long time. It was not until Zhou Huimin coughed twice that Wang Jing laughed and followed everyone into the meeting room.

Wang Jing was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

Wang Jing did not feel unhappy at all about the disbanding of the original crew and recruiting new ones. After all, the level of the leading actors is different now. How can Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Weijian compare with He Daqi?

Besides, after the beating incident, the drama starring Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque has become extremely popular.

Ever since Yonghui Qiming announced that he would take over and confirmed that He Daqi would be the lead actor, TV stations have been contacting Wang Jing to get the first broadcast rights, and the price was so high that Wang Jing wanted to agree to it immediately.

Unfortunately, what he said doesn't count.

At this moment, the discussion in the conference room was very quiet because He Daqi and Zhou Huimin were looking through the script.

He Daqi had previously watched the original drama in the film library, so he knew the general plot. When he read the script again, he felt that it was similar to the original drama, so he didn't say anything.

Zhou Huimin was different. She had never watched the original drama. Her only concept of the drama at the moment might be the original novel, The Twins of Heroes. So the more she read, the deeper her frown became.

"What's going on with Jiang Yuyan? Why is there so much drama? I feel like she has more drama than the heroine, and it's even more outrageous later on! The protagonists knew she was a scheming and vicious woman, but they actually went to the palace to help her. Are they collectively losing their minds?"

The more Zhou Huimin watched, the more she wanted to complain, especially after seeing a lot of plots at the end that were all about Jiang Yuyan. She was a little curious, was this script just put together randomly?
Seeing Wang Jing across from her still trying to organize his words to explain, Zhou Huimin speculated maliciously, "Fatty, you're not planning on using my investment to promote someone, are you? Tell me who's going to play Jiang Yuyan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing quickly explained, "The original actor was Li Xiaoran, but due to schedule and other personal issues, she didn't join the crew. So, it was replaced by Yang Yan. This is also the focus of our discussion today. I also know that this role will play a very important role in the later stages, so I wanted to ask for your opinion. Whoever you want to use can be used. I have asked Li Xiaoran and Yang Yan, and they are both available to join the crew now."

After he finished speaking, he took out two actor files and handed them over.

Zhou Huimin took it and flipped through it casually, looked at the two men, and then threw the file aside.

"No need for that. You designed this character so well it's a bit too good. Change it up. At least don't let the protagonists go crazy in the end. Also, why should I let others play such a brilliant role? I have artists under my command, it would be better to just use my own people."

Zhou Huimin finished speaking and turned to look at Liu Ying. "Xiao Liu, let Yaya take over the role of Jiang Yuyan. Look for a role that's suitable for Re Yizha. Then have Ning Hao finish filming their scenes quickly and come to the crew."

"Okay, Vivian." Liu Ying nodded, and then began to look through Jiang Yuyan's plot.

Wang Jing on the opposite side touched his nose awkwardly and said nothing.

At this time, Zhou Huimin spoke again, "Fatty, don't say I didn't take care of you. This script is a bit too exaggerated. It must be revised. I don't know what you originally thought, but we can't use the Hong Kong drama's set-up to adapt this drama. I will find someone to urgently revise the script. Don't worry, I have many such people in my company. It won't take a few days. Let's discuss the selection of the leading role first."

"Um...Xiao Yuer, who do you want to choose?" Wang Jing asked.

"There's no choice. Someone has already assigned the role of Xiaoyuer." Zhou Huimin shook her head.

When she said this, He Daqi looked up at her with some confusion. Besides himself, who else could be assigned an important role in Yonghui Qiming's play?
Wang Jing was obviously a little surprised and asked curiously, "Who did you designate?"

"Huang Xiaoming."

When this name was mentioned, He Daqi became even more confused.

Huang Xiaoming?
Last time at the awards ceremony, He Daqi had a good chat with him. Huang Xiaoming clearly said at that time that his schedule in the second half of the year was very tight, with one drama after another.

He Daqi glanced at Liu Ying and Wu Nannan calmly, and found that neither of them looked surprised, so he knew that this matter must have been decided long ago.

He carefully recalled when he had just returned and everyone explained how they had snatched the project away. After a little thought, he roughly understood why Huang Xiaoming was chosen to play Xiaoyuer.

Sure enough, Zhou Huimin's answer also confirmed this.

Zhou Huimin saw Wang Jing's face was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Are you confused as to why it was Huang Xiaoming?"

Then, without waiting for Wang Jing to respond, she explained, "Think about who helped bring this project to Yonghui Qiming."

Wang Jing first said "oh" in sudden realization, then smiled bitterly and said, "Which other actors have been confirmed? You can tell me all at once."

Zhou Huimin smiled and spread her hands and said, "No, they've only confirmed Huang Xiaoming. I'll pick four roles right now, all female. Myself and Daqi's friends will be guest stars, and two of my artists will be supporting roles. You'll decide on the other actors, but don't play tricks on me and don't be too selfish."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ying said, "Vivian, I just saw Jiang Yuyan's plot. Uh... I feel that Yaya is a little unsuitable. This kind of scheming and deep-minded character doesn't quite suit Yaya."

"It doesn't matter whether she is suitable or not, as long as she has more roles, with Da Qi supporting her, the ratings of this drama will definitely not be low." Zhou Huimin said nonchalantly.

She didn't care, but Wang Jing couldn't help but care. Looking at Zhou Huimin who was taking on so much responsibility, Wang Jing smiled bitterly and asked, "Can I see some photos of two artists from your company first?"

Wu Nannan chuckled, stood up and left the meeting room. After a while, she came back with photos of Tong Liya and Reyiza and handed them to Wang Jing.

"Aren't these two girls from ethnic minorities?" Wang Jing hissed and looked at Zhou Huimin helplessly.

Zhou Huimin just smiled and leaned her arms on the table, holding her chin and not saying a word, putting all the pressure on Wang Jing.

Wang Jing's chubby face was wrinkled with worry. After a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Change it, change it as much as possible. I'll delete most of Jiang Yuyan's storyline. Isn't there a Murong Xian in the play? I'll give her more scenes. Also, there's a princess named Taka from an ethnic minority. I'll give her a supporting role and let your company's artists play these two roles. Is that okay?"

"No rush, I'll take a look after the script is revised, and we'll slowly work out what to do."

Looking at Zhou Huimin's stubborn look, Wang Jing cursed in his heart. No wonder Zhou Huimin is getting richer and richer now. How can she not get rich if she is so cruel?
She was not in a hurry, but Wang Jing was extremely anxious. He was counting on the show to make a comeback, so how could he keep delaying it?

"There won't be any changes to the male characters, right? If possible, let's gather the male characters and start filming first. Is Jiang Yuyan's character the only part of the script you're dissatisfied with?"

Zhou Huimin thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't Jiang Yuyan have a sister? In the script, she likes Xiaoyuer, right? Can it be changed to Hua Wuque? If it's a good change, I will play this role. At the end, I want to die in Hua Wuque's arms."

"Change it! Everything can be changed!"
