Several people sat around the dining table, chatting and making dumplings. It was so harmonious that if you didn't know them, you would really think they were a family.

After washing his hands, He Yanbei sat down next to Shen Nianchu.

"Do you still remember Hua Xiangdong's previously suspended film, 'Mountain Sparrow'?"

"Remember, wasn't it because of Shen Wanqing and that bad artist that the crew stopped filming indefinitely? Why, are they going to start filming again?"

"Yes, after the filming was suspended, Director Hua has actually been re-preparing this project. I came across the script last month and read the revised script. The screenwriter made some adjustments to the plot, which is very good, even better than the previous script, so I decided to star in it."

Shen Nianchu had previously felt that He Yanbei was the most suitable male lead for Hua Xiangdong's film. The actor chosen before also had very good acting skills, but his image was not so compatible.

"That's great, congratulations. Every film directed by Hua is a masterpiece. He said before that this movie 'The Mountain Sparrow' was aimed at winning awards. Although you have already won three major domestic awards, it is not too much."

He Yanbei smiled and took a piece of rolled dumpling wrapper from Zhao Ma.

"Stop it, the point I want to make is not for you to congratulate me. The incident with Shen Wanqing had a huge impact, so Director Hua was very cautious when re-selecting the female lead this time. Last night when I was greeting Director Hua for the New Year, I talked about this matter by the way. The female lead hasn't been decided yet, and I recommended you to him."

"I?"

"Yes, didn't your drama 'Jiangnan' start airing a few days ago? I didn't expect the director to be following this drama as well. He said that your image is quite suitable for the female lead and that you acted very well. He asked me to ask, if you are interested, we can arrange time in the next two days to discuss cooperation."

"She has it, she has it!" Ye Huan didn't know when he woke up, and ran over with a mess of hair on his head. Two words were written on his whole body from head to toe:

excited!

The launch of "Jiangnan" received very good response and was considered the first big hit drama of the year. Chen Nianchu's image of a Jiangnan beauty and superb acting skills attracted a large number of fans.

She plays a Jiangnan beauty in the drama. In the past two days, fans of the drama and her fans have been saying on Weibo that they want to see her act in a Republican drama, and it has even become a hot topic.

Ye Huan looked happier than Shen Nianchu, "What did I say? I said that the broadcast of this drama will definitely help you open up the market for Republican dramas. You said I have too much confidence in you. There's nothing I can do about it. Our strength is there!"

The opportunity was indeed a good one, but Shen Nianchu still had some concerns, "Brother Yanbei, will this drama start filming after the New Year?"

"Yes, because it was stalled for quite a long time before. Now the only thing missing is the female lead. I asked Director Hua about it last night. If the female lead can be decided, then without any unexpected problems, we can start filming after the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think?"

Ye Huan was already scrolling through the schedule on his phone. After a few seconds, he said, "Sure, sure! Besides the variety show we've already scheduled and the regular filming for a few brands, your next drama hasn't been decided yet. Sister Yue has always been dissatisfied with the script I handed over, so this is perfect!"

He Yan Beiye was also genuinely happy. "That's great, but Director Hua has strict rules this time, requiring a closed-door team-up, so you might have to coordinate other tasks..."

"Wait a moment……"

"What's wrong? Do you still have any concerns?" He Yanbei asked when he saw Chen Nianchu hesitated to speak.

Shen Nianchu: "You know our family's current situation... My mother has been in poor health recently. Director Liu recommended a famous Chinese medicine doctor to me last time. He said he is in Yuncheng. I plan to take my mother there to see a doctor and take care of her."

The date for the closed-door admission coincided with the consultation time.

It was quite difficult to make an appointment with a Chinese medicine doctor. Director Liu had to use his connections to finally get her an appointment. If she had missed it, she would have to wait at least half a year. Yu Wanhua's hospital reports were normal, her appetite was normal, but she was getting thinner day by day. She didn't want to wait that long.

I heard Director Liu mention it before, saying that after the doctor's examination, I could stay there for a month or so to recuperate, so our schedules overlap.

Although this opportunity is really hard-won, there may be opportunities in the future. I really don’t know if Yu Wanhua’s body can wait. Sometimes I miss the best time for treatment because I think everything is fine.

"You are confused!" Yu Wanhua immediately got angry and put the dumpling wrapper back on the table.

"What a great opportunity! Hua Xiangdong is such a famous director, and so many actors have been eager to cooperate with him but couldn't get him. Yet, you've kicked the opportunity right in front of you."

Shen Nianchu saw that she was really angry, so she smiled flatteringly,

"Why are you still angry? It's because you're not feeling well. I know this opportunity is rare, but even the best opportunity wouldn't be as important as your health. Not to mention that it's so difficult to get an appointment with that doctor, and considering your recent health, how could I possibly leave you alone for a closed-door shoot?"

Not to mention that Chen Huaifeng and that mistress kept coming here to cause trouble for no apparent reason, she was really worried.

"What's in your head, kid?" Yu Wanhua stood up and pushed her head.

"I'm in good health, why should I see a Chinese doctor? I've told you countless times that I'm just in a bad mood lately. Why should I go to Yuncheng to see a doctor for no reason? I won't go!"

Knowing that Chen Nianchu was stubborn, he threatened, "If I become a stumbling block in your life, I will die with regrets! I won't go to see it!"

"Pfft! What are you talking about on New Year's Day?" Shen Nianchu was also angry, with a stern face, "I have already decided, I must see this Chinese doctor, and I must go to Yunnan."

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? You have to make this movie!"

The mother and daughter glared at each other, neither of them willing to give in, and the air froze for a moment.

He Yanbei looked around and saw that Ye Huan and Zhao Ma didn't dare to say anything, so he decided to step forward and act as a gold medal mediator.

"Well, don't be angry, everyone. This is a simple matter, and it's not absolutely a conflict. Since there is a conflict in schedule, as for Auntie... I can have my assistant personally take you to Yuncheng for medical treatment, and Nianchu can go to the set to film without worry."

Yu Wanhua and Zhao Ma looked at each other and motioned her to help them.

The illness had been hidden from Shen Nianchu, and suddenly she found such a doctor, who was not her own. If the results of the examination were told to Shen Nianchu, her daughter would definitely not be able to continue filming in the crew with peace of mind.

Mother Zhao understood. "Mr. He is right. I'll be with you in Yuncheng, so you can go to the crew without worry. Although I don't understand much, I have seen the movies directed by Hua Xiangdong. He is very famous. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity. Are you worried about me taking care of you?"
