As expected, when Wang Siyi and Xiuxiu returned home, Chen Baozhu was sitting on the sofa, not saying a word, and seemed very unhappy that they came back so late.
Xiuxiu shrank behind Wang Siyi, not daring to make a sound. Wang Siyi didn't mind, as she was used to it. Sister Baozhu was easy to fool anyway, so she just had to find a good excuse.
Wang Siyi came back with a calm face, and seemed not to intend to tell Chen Baozhu why he went out. Chen Baozhu suddenly couldn't sit still. Wang Siyi was not like this before. How could she have changed so much in just over half a year?
Chen Baozhu couldn't help but said with a straight face, "You've been out for so long, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"No, we didn't do anything when we went out. We were just a little hungry, so we had a midnight snack."
After Wang Siyi finished speaking, in order to make Chen Baozhu believe it, he turned around and asked Xiuxiu, "Isn't it, Xiuxiu?"
Xiuxiu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, we just went out for a midnight snack and didn't do anything."
Xiuxiu thought to herself that she had indeed bought a bowl of wontons when she went out and wanted to say that she was going out for a midnight snack. This was not considered a lie and she had a clear conscience.
Chen Baozhu looked at the two people in confusion. What kind of food could take two hours to eat for a midnight snack? The most important thing was that Wang Siyi clearly told her that he was going out for a while, but he didn't come back until twelve o'clock. If it was any later, she would probably call the police.
"What kind of midnight snack can take two hours to eat?" Chen Baozhu no longer trusted Wang Siyi so blindly. After all, she had a criminal record. If she was not unfamiliar with Li Changle, she would have asked if Li Changle was in Peking.
Wang Siyi said calmly, "I saw a delicious wonton restaurant online. It's a bit far, so I asked Xiuxiu to take me there. It was really delicious. I'll pack some for you next time we go."
This time, Chen Baozhu no longer doubted Wang Siyi. After all, this kind of thing was something she could do. When she was not so famous in Shanghai, she often sneaked out to find food by herself. Even if she had to run from the east to the west of the city, she would run there. This was her only hobby at that time.
Chen Baozhu couldn't say anything more to Wang Siyi. "Alright, alright, go take a shower. You still have to record a show tomorrow. Don't stay up so late in the future. If you really wear yourself out, you'll be in trouble."
Wang Siyi nodded, said nothing more, and went to take a shower. It was indeed a tiring day today. Several days of this kind would have to go by, and she still wouldn't see Li Changle. Wang Siyi frowned as he walked. Fortunately, these days were about to come to an end.
The next day, Li Changle arrived at the Huaying Academy early. Another round of casting would be held today to determine the male and female protagonists. Guo Zongming had been struggling with who would play the female lead. It was obvious that he called Li Changle this time to make a decision. After all, it was his own book and no one knew it better than him.
"Changle, long time no see." Guo Zongming walked over with a smile on his face and shook hands with Li Changle. The casting issue had been bothering him for a long time, and today he threw this difficult problem to Li Changle.
Li Changle smiled, shook hands with Guo Zongming, and said, "Long time no see."
Terry Gou took Li Changle into the casting scene. The cast hadn't arrived yet, so Terry Gou discussed the direction of the plot with Li Changle while walking.
"Director Guo, all the casting candidates are here." A staff member walked up to Guo Zongming and said with his head down.
Guo Zongming nodded and said to Li Changle, "Let's go, Changle. They're all here. I think we've already decided on the cast for many of the roles, but I'm a little stuck on the female lead. It's because she's so important. I need your help with some advice."
Li Changle said apprehensively, "I don't know anything about filming. I'm here to learn."
Guo Zongming laughed and said nothing more. He just made a gesture of invitation and the group walked over. It was the first time that Li Changle saw how the director chose the actors and it was still a bit fresh.
Just as Li Changle had suggested, Guo Zongming chose young newcomers as the main characters, at least Li Changle had never heard of them before. Although they were all newcomers, they were indeed very talented, which even Li Changle, who had no idea what acting was, could see.
The male lead is a handsome young man with delicate features named Jie Jiaming, who can be considered a creamy boy. Li Changle feels that this guy is almost on par with himself, and he does have a bit of Li Xiaoyao's style. Hu Ge always praises him when he sees him.
The roles of Anu, Tang Yu Xiaobao, Liu Jinyuan and others have also been confirmed, and now the only two roles left are Lin Yueru and Zhao Linger.
Guo Zongming went through the casting list one by one for Li Changle, then pointed to the list in his hand and said, "The next one is a top student, a young lady from Peking University, only a sophomore. I don't know why she would come to our audition for no reason."
"Ye Susu?" Li Changle asked in surprise. Could this be the Ye Susu he knew? Then he thought again, it was most likely her, and she had always said that she wanted to enter the entertainment industry and act.
"Yes, her name is Ye Susu. This girl's acting skills are only average, but she is very talented, with the same aura that only Zhao Linger has. If she wasn't so talented, I wouldn't want to keep her. It would only delay her studies."
Guo Zongming said helplessly, obviously very conflicted. The casting of Ling'er has always been a headache for him.
Li Changle smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else. His idea coincided with Guo Zongming's. He had this idea when he heard Ye Susu talking about acting, but he didn't know whether Ye Susu had convinced her family.
