Chapter 7: Female Lead
After class, Liu Yifei stopped Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen.
With her arms wrapped around her books, she smiled and said, "Can you take me with you tonight?"
Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen exchanged glances.
"You were eavesdropping on us."
"No, you were just too loud. I didn't need to eavesdrop."
Zhu Yawen was speechless.
Zhu Yawen had just insisted that Luo Jin send Director Li a text message, asking Luo Jin to introduce him.
"Remove that 'ma'! Do you even believe yourself?"
Liu Yifei then turned on her cell phone, and as soon as it powered on, text messages started ringing nonstop.
Liu Yifei looked on with an expectant expression.
Liu Yifei didn't even need to look to know that her mother had already gone ballistic.
"What if lost in thailand flops? I'd be embarrassed to be called Director Li."
Luo Jin smiled but didn't say anything.
Wouldn't a Silver Bear Director flop?
Even Golden Palm winners have flopped for decades.
After a while, Li Chen arrived.
Liu Yifei sent a text message, then turned off her cell phone.
Zhu Yawen was like a grandson, constantly nodding and admitting his mistakes.
Not yet sixteen, she was youthfully invincible.
"Can I say I only see her as a younger sister?"
Zhu Yawen exclaimed in surprise, "The one who won the Silver Bear?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Jin Ge, clarify what you mean. I just chatted a few more times with her on QQ. What's this 'yours and mine' stuff..."
"Jin Ge, I admit I'm envious. Why is the gap between people so big?"
Liu Yifei smiled happily, nodding in agreement.
Li Chen ignored the two fooling around.
However, he had a good relationship with Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen, mainly Zhu Yawen.
Zhu Yawen was still a bit worried: "Xixi, is this really okay?"
"Didn't I just say it? It's being filmed in Taiwan, called 'may love'."
For her resume, it would definitely be a significant highlight.
As long as she could be in it, that was enough.
As far as he knew, the box office for this Taiwan film was less than a million, and it was only released in Taiwan.
Liu Yifei smiled, "Director Xu Xiaoming."
The two stared at each other. Luo Jin knew Zhu Yawen had feelings for Liu Yifei and couldn't say no.
"Just call each other by your names."
Luo Jin was born in 1981, the oldest of the four.
But this outfit was a bit...
"I'll definitely go."
Li Chen gently shook the other's hand and then let go, smiling, "Hello."
"Hello, Director Li, I'm Zhu Yawen, very pleased to meet you."
Zhu Yawen and the other two arrived first.
Around eight o'clock, Li Chen saw that it was getting late and suggested they leave.
"Ha! For that remark, if lost in thailand doesn't sell well, I'd be letting my hairstyle down. When the movie comes out, remember to support it."
The two bickered all the way back to the dorm until Zhu Yawen finally fell silent.
He patted Zhu Yawen's shoulder and walked away without looking back: "It's settled then, I'll wait for your call."
"But dinner is in the evening, will your mother agree?"
Anyway, he wasn't famous.
It was probably not long after the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils crew wrapped up, bringing with it the Fairy Sister aura.
What kind of waves could it make?
Many years later, no one even knew that this film, may love, was among the Fairy's works.
Zhu Yawen nodded sagely, "Old Luo's insight!"
"It's a movie..."
"Everyone, sit down, let's talk. Tell me, why do I have the air of a big director?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Jin Ge, no backstabbing! When did I ever say that?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? Who told you to be so loud!"
They asked all sorts of questions, all revolving around the movie.
"I'll definitely be fine. As for whether you'll be fine, I don't know, hehehe."
Zhu Yawen's exaggerated expression made Liu Yifei laugh.
Zhu Yawen was speechless; indeed, this was hard to explain.
"Why are you pretending? Last time Jiang Yiyan came to the dorm and sat on your bed, look how long your face was."
"Absolutely! This is Jin Ge's big screen debut."
However, seeing the Fairy immersed in joy, Li Chen didn't have the heart to dampen her enthusiasm.
"Who is the director?" Li Chen asked.
Luo Jin hesitated, "Taking you is no problem. Director Li isn't that pretentious."
Zhu Yawen was startled.
This Fairy Sister, like Zhu Yawen, was rarely seen for a month or two.
Liu Yifei pouted, "I don't care. I'll send a text to Mom and then turn off my cell phone. I'll just say it's a class dinner and my cell phone ran out of battery."
Liu Yifei looked a bit embarrassed, "Xiao Zhu, actually there's something I haven't had a chance to tell you."
"Director Li, my Jin Ge is at least the male lead in his big screen debut. When will you take care of me and Xixi?"
Liu Yifei's delicate oval face instantly fell.
"Why have I never heard you mention it?"
However, Zhu Yawen certainly touched her heart. Being able to star in a Silver Bear Director's film for her big screen debut, no one wouldn't be full of pride.
Very beautiful.
"I'm going back to the dorm now, I haven't been back in a long time."
"Well, I'll take it that Director Li agreed. Jin Ge, you're my witness."
He would treat them to dinner tonight.
No choice, with an extra person, the cost of hosting increased exponentially, so only private dining was an option.
Alas, it was definitely Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei had already walked between the two of them.
Seeing Liu Yifei, he wasn't surprised, just a little stunned by her beauty.
Luo Jin also added, "Hehehe!"
He didn't pick scripts at all, only people!
He quickly called back, saying he was having dinner with Zhu Yawen and would be back now.
"Hello, Director Li, I'm Liu Yifei, very pleased to meet you."
"Hello, let's not be so formal. We're all classmates, Luo Jin knows I'm not pretentious."
She wore a colorful sleeveless vest on top and a knee-length skirt, also colorful, on the bottom.
Full of collagen, delicate and youthfully striking.
"Haha, your hairstyle is exactly like Director Yi Mou's. As the saying goes, whether it works or not depends on the hairstyle."
Under thick eyebrows, bright, piercing eyes, coupled with a neat crew cut, gave him a very masculine and capable feeling.
"Come, come, let me toast Director Li."
Zhu Yawen laughed, "How could that be? Director Li clearly has the air of a big director."
In the evening, Zhu Yawen reserved a table at a private dining restaurant.
He also wanted to be on the big screen. As for whether the director was famous, that wasn't important.
Zhu Yawen was depressed.
The group exchanged cell phone numbers and QQ numbers.
Luo Jin smiled, "Director Li, you heard him, this guy dislikes you for not being a Silver Bear Director."
"But when Xiao Liu came to the dorm to play and sat on your bed, why did your face turn into a dog's?"
"I'm going to join a crew again soon!"
Zhu Yawen was the most outgoing, and the Fairy also talked a lot once she got comfortable.
Young people quickly became familiar with each other when together.
"Oh my! My Jin Ge, I'm sorry, isn't that enough?"
Li Chen smiled, "There will be opportunities."
Luo Jin and Zhu Yawen looked at each other. Zhu Yawen said a bit nervously, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
But no one still called Li Chen by his first name, though it was good they didn't have to use 'you' (formal) anymore.
How to describe it?
The girl stood up and looked at the man in front of her. His height was similar to Zhu Yawen's, a little over 1.8 meters.
"She's not even sixteen yet, and her big screen debut is with a Silver Bear Director. I'm this old, and I don't even know where my debut will be!"
Zhu Yawen looked at Luo Jin: "What should we do?"
Alas, this girl was truly innocent and adorable.
Luo Jin sent another message to Li Chen, mentioning that Liu Yifei would also be coming.
"Go tell your Xixi yourself."
Back in the dorm, Li Chen opened his laptop and looked at the script for those years.
