Chapter 546 Little Red Tassel

After entering June, Li Ye gradually became busy.

I have just finished writing a script for "The Deserter in the Fire" and the exams for the second semester of my junior year are coming up soon.

Jin Peng is about to get married, and after the marriage he will go north to Soviet Russia, so his huge sales channels need to be handed over to his sister Li Yue. There are many people and things involved. Hao Jian from Pengcheng has come twice.

Because the burden was too heavy, Li Ye was worried that his sister might not be able to handle it alone, so he transferred Zou Zhiguo, who had been supervising the discipline of the channels in the past two years, to BJ and asked him to coordinate with his sister.

All these messy things were squeezed into a month, and an unexpected trivial matter happened every now and then, which made Li Ye, who was used to a leisurely life, feel like he was running around in circles.

[I don’t know how many hours of sleep people like Lei Jun and Liu Jingdong can get in a day. ]

Li Ye was woken up by the alarm clock and couldn't help but complain. He washed his face hastily and rushed to school.

Li Ye discussed with his sister Li Yue and Jin Peng until very late last night, so he slept in Zaojun Temple. Now he has to rush to the school cafeteria to have breakfast.

Zaojun Temple can deal with stuttering, but firstly, it is troublesome, and secondly, Wen Leyu is used to eating with Li Ye. If she can't wait for Li Ye at the canteen door, she might not eat breakfast.

I have finally managed to give the little girl some curves, I cannot afford to hurt her belly again.

Li Ye got on his bicycle and pedaled as hard as a tiger. He arrived at the school cafeteria entrance just in time to meet Wen Leyu.

Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye and helped him tidy up his messy hair with disdain.

"Didn't you sleep well last night? If you didn't sleep well, just sleep a little longer. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No, I slept for eight hours and had a very good sleep. I even dreamed about you!"

Li Ye made a sarcasm remark, earning a small eye roll from Wen Leyu, and the two of them went into the restaurant to eat together.

While eating, Wen Leyu suddenly asked, "Has the cast for "Escapers from the War" not been decided yet?"

Li Ye lowered his head to drink porridge and said casually, "Probably not. He told me a few days ago that he would go over to discuss it soon! But I was too busy these days so I didn't plan to ask about it. Anyway, as long as the script is not changed, it's fine."

Wen Leyu nodded and said seriously, "Then ask around. An uncle recommended a candidate who is very suitable to play the role of Xiao Hongying."

"Oh, then how old is she? Which art group is she from?"

"She is either thirteen or fourteen, but she is not from any art troupe. She has never studied acting."

“Cough~ cough~”

Li Ye coughed twice and almost choked on the millet porridge.

Xiao Hongying is a very important character in "Deserter in War". She is young but very capable. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she is already one of the top "veterans" in the independent regiment, so it is very difficult to play the role.

Young actors of this age are usually actors from art troupes or drama troupes, or students from art schools.

But Wen Leyu recommended someone who had never studied opera. Was he trying to use a backdoor?

That's not right! Wen Leyu is not that kind of person!

Besides, this person was introduced by my uncle. What kind of uncle is he?

If he is an uncle in the circle, wouldn't he be eight times more powerful than Li Ye in terms of connections?

Li Ye is just a screenwriter, okay?

However, Wen Leyu continued, "She grew up in a compound. Her father and mother didn't love her since she was young, so she has a stubborn temper. Recently, the elder who loved her the most passed away, so she thought about going abroad."

“.”

"Oh, now I understand what you said."

Li Ye immediately realized that this was the trick of putting a bridle on a rebellious child. Stubborn children were difficult to control, so the old guys would find her a job to divert her interest and coax the child first.

This kind of situation is very common in later generations. The son of a certain boss likes to spend his days drinking and partying, so the boss sets him up with a class and he has to punch in from 9 to 5 to avoid getting into trouble.

Or there are even more ruthless ones, who will directly throw them into the army for training for a few years. When they come back, they are older and more sensible, and they know what it feels like to be beaten by society, and their stubborn temper will naturally be cured.

Li Ye immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll ask the Beijing Film Studio today and take her there when a role is confirmed."

Wen Leyu also said, "I'll go and take a look too."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want to see? Tell me so that I can ask them to coordinate when the time comes."

Wen Leyu didn't say anything, just lowered his head and started eating in silence.

After a long while, Wen Leyu whispered, "I want to go see if those actors look alike."

“Does it look like it?”

Li Ye suddenly realized that Wen Leyu might want to go and see if the actor who played Shi Cheng looked like her grandfather!

. . . . . . . . .

Early in the morning of the third day, Li Ye and Wen Leyu went straight to the Beijing Film Studio. It was not far from Beijing University to Haidian, so the two did not drive in a high-profile manner, but instead enjoyed a summer tandem bicycle trip.

Thinking back to three years ago, when Li Ye first came to Beijing, Wen Leyu was not very skilled in riding a bicycle and was still very young, but he still rode his bicycle and took Li Ye around most of Beijing.

As a result, now that they are an old couple, Wen Leyu has fewer and fewer opportunities to ride his bike with Li Ye.

So Li Ye teased Wen Leyu with a smile.

"Xiao Yu, why don't you take me with you? It's been a long time since you took me with you on your bike."

"No, I like the feeling of sitting in the back of the car."

"Take me with you! You took me with you three years ago."

"I didn't. My legs hurt for a long time that summer."

Wen Leyu refused with a smile, leaning her little head on Li Ye's back, swinging her long legs, looking leisurely and comfortable.

How can riding a bike be as comfortable as taking a car?

The two arrived at the gate of Beijing Film Studio in HD area at the agreed time. It was empty outside, without a single extra or anyone else.

Li Ye asked, "Hasn't the little actor arrived yet?"

Wen Leyu said: "Maybe he went in!"

Li Ye: "Okay, then you go and register, and I'll push the bike to the shed."

Li Ye asked Wen Leyu to register with the security guard while he pushed his bicycle inside. After entering the door, he saw a half-grown child standing alone.

The child also saw Li Ye and looked at him intently.

"Hiss~"

Li Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said to himself - "If it's this child, then it's really reliable."

Just looking at the look in this child's eyes, they vaguely resemble the little Hongying in "The Deserter in War".

Who is Xiao Hongying? She is the orphan of a martyr, a child who had walked the Long March. Her age is equal to her military service.

Although Xiao Hongying is only thirteen or fourteen years old, she has already spent thirteen or fourteen years in the war and is a true "veteran".

Therefore, Xiao Hongying basically does not have the cuteness, liveliness and politeness of ordinary children. Instead, she has a temperament that is clever yet also proud and sophisticated.

A girl of junior high school age looked at the adults in the entire independent regiment without any fear, because except for a few figures such as the regiment commander, the rest were all new recruits.

And there was also a look of indifference in the eyes of the child standing at the door of the film studio.

Li Ye stopped his bicycle and asked with a smile: "Hello, little friend, are you going to play the role of Xiao Hongying? I am Li Ye."

The little girl looked up at Li Ye and said coldly: "I know you as Li Ye, but I am not a child, please respect me."

“.”

Li Ye was stunned. He was so awesome even when he came for the audition, so he must be lawless in his daily life?

That’s right, in “The Deserter in the Fire”, Xiao Hongying is a lawless little girl.

"Then let's go in together! We can chat on the way. What do you think of the little red tassel in the novel?"

Li Ye pushed his bicycle towards the film studio, intending to use the time on the way to chat with this little boy Zhong about the plot and build a relationship with him.

But who would have thought that the little girl would say stiffly: "I haven't read the novel. I'm just here to go through the motions today. If it's okay, it's okay. If not, don't delay my going abroad."

“.”

Li Ye couldn't walk anymore. Even those who brought money into the crew of Special Brewing were not so arrogant. You have been getting into the role too early and imagined yourself as Xiao Hongying. What's wrong?

Li Ye was so angry that he laughed. Novels are novels, reality is reality. Don't make yourself a lunatic just for acting!

Li Ye was about to say something, but the little girl spoke first: "Are novels and scripts the same thing? I haven't even got the script, what's the point of reading the novel?"

Is this what it was for?

Because Li Ye just found out the day before yesterday that this "relative" was going to play Xiao Hongying, and he didn't have time to copy a script for her, so he simply let her experience it according to the novel. Anyway, the script was not adapted much from the novel.

But now it seems that she seemed to have some misunderstanding?

At this moment, Wen Leyu came over from behind, took three or two steps to the front of the little girl, and spat out two words coldly.

“Stand still!”

“.”

Silence, silence that lasted for ten seconds.

The two girls, one tall and one short, looked at each other as if they were engaged in a silent fight.

Then, something magical happened.

Little boy Zhong, who was so arrogant just now, actually stood at attention obediently.

She obviously smelled a similar scent from Wen Leyu.

Wen Leyu is already 22 years old this year. Compared with the kids in the compound who are 13 or 14 years old, she is a big sister-level figure.

"Do you know who I am?"

“.”

"Are you Wen's sister? Sorry, I haven't seen you before."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't met me, but be polite, especially to those who are willing to help you."

“.”

The little girl was silent for a moment, then turned around and bowed and nodded slightly to Li Ye, which was considered politeness.

Li Ye smiled indifferently, then took out a book called "Deserter in the War" from his bag, and quickly turned to the page where Xiao Hongying appeared.

"Here, start reading from this page. The crew may ask you some questions later. If you can't answer them, then we can't help you much."

After hearing what Li Ye said, the little girl was obviously stunned for a moment.

But Li Ye didn't care about her and said calmly: "Because you are acting as a child, but in the crew you are an actor, you are doing a job, since it is a job, then you bear the same responsibilities as an adult, if you can't bear it, you can only leave."

“.”

The little girl looked at Li Ye for several seconds before taking "Deserter in the War".

Then she thought for a few seconds and said to Li Ye: "Thank you for your help. My name is Zhong Haohao, and I'm not a child."

"Well, good morning."

Li Ye was suddenly stunned. He turned his head and stared at the little girl's face. After looking at her carefully for a long time, he finally found a little bit of her impression.

"So you are Zhong Haohao!"
