Shen Jinghe was shocked at the time.
"Wen Yan, do you know what you just refused?"
To date, Shen Jinghe's studio has not signed any new artists.
This is also the first time since his debut that he has extended an olive branch to other newcomers in his industry.
In other words, no matter what resources Shen Jinghe gets in the future, he may give priority to sharing them with the artists he has signed, or even bring newcomers into the production team as a package deal.
Actually, Shen Jinghe even regretted asking the question a little as soon as it left his mouth.
He felt he was being too good to Wen Yan, even though their relationship wasn't that good yet.
Unexpectedly, when he finally spoke up and showed kindness, people actually looked down on him.
This immediately ignited his stubbornness.
"A reason? Give me a reason."
After thinking carefully, Wen Yan said:
"We're still in the eye of the storm, and many of your fans are still sending me private messages scolding me for being shameless and clingy. If I really went to your studio, your fans might unfollow me, which wouldn't be good for your image. Hehe, I know you're trying to help me out of kindness, so I can't repay kindness with enmity and put you in a difficult position!"
Shen Jinghe knew that Wen Yan had a silver tongue.
But Shen Jinghe knew even more clearly that Wen Yan was just being perfunctory every time she said that.
He was equally annoyed, letting out a cold laugh: "Who wants to help you? They only want to because you're a fan magnet. As for you, go cool off somewhere else."
Then the two parted ways and went about their own business.
There are two real reasons why Wen Yan did this.
First, she didn't know how her relationship with the Shen family would develop in the future.
Who knows, one day her connection with the Shen family might come to an end, and it wouldn't be good if she had financial disputes with Shen Jinghe then.
The second point, and also the most important one, is that Wen Yan is waiting for someone to appear.
If she is determined to continue developing her career in this industry, then this is the person she most wants to collaborate with.
This person is incredibly powerful. In the novel world she transmigrated into, she is someone even the female protagonist in the book has to give her face.
It's worth noting that in the original book, the female protagonist is an omnipotent being with numerous aliases.
The title of "Best Actress" in the entertainment industry is just one small part of the many identities a leading actress has.
Even so, the female lead still treated that person with deference.
The most crucial point is that Wen Yan discovered while reading the novel that this character was extremely respectful of women.
As an artist under her management, the only thing you have to do is act well. She never lets her artists bow down to capital, especially female artists.
Before Wen Yan transmigrated into the book, she suffered a great loss because of this. When she was reading the novel, she thought, "How wonderful it would be if his boss or agent were like the one in the novel."
This person is quite famous in the original novel, but after Wen Yan transmigrated here, no information about her could be found online.
So Wen Yan decided to give herself a time limit and wait and see. Perhaps the character would only appear if the female lead triggered a certain plot.
But it doesn't matter if this person doesn't show up in the end; she'll think of another way.
-
The next shoot will require filming in the mountains.
Wen Yan hadn't had time before, but this was a good opportunity for her to visit the old woman who had taken her and Shen Jinghe in for the night.
Just as she was about to wrap up filming, she ran into Shen Jinghe on set and went up to greet him.
"Hi, Teacher Shen, I'm planning to visit Grandma Zhou in the mountains tomorrow. Would you like to come along?"
Shen Jinghe nodded: "Okay."
Wen Yan: [As expected of Teacher Shen, he's as sparing with words as ever.]
Shen Jinghe glanced at her, thinking to himself, "Don't think I don't know you're being sarcastic towards me."
Why does he have to say a bunch of nonsense when a simple "yes" would suffice?
The two were internally criticizing each other, but neither showed it outwardly.
Wen Yan then immediately brought up another topic:
"How about I go to the supermarket later to buy some things and bring them over, and then we split the bill? Or do you want to go buy them by yourself?"
"Buy more, buy the good stuff."
"Teacher Shen seems to be giving orders, but I'm just helping out, not giving orders."
"When it's A, I get 7 and you get 3."
"make a deal!"
What a great deal! Let's use the commanding tone then, since we've saved 20% of the money.
Shen Jinghe was quite puzzled by Wen Yan's behavior. Logically speaking, she wasn't short of money; how much could she possibly spend at the supermarket?
However, for some reason, Shen Jinghe found her very vivid.
However, Shen Jinghe did not receive the bill from Wen Yan until before going to bed.
The next morning, as the film crew was setting off, a three-wheeled vehicle loaded with grain, oil, rice, flour, and other goods pulled up, and the driver went straight to Wen Yan to talk.
Shen Jinghe then realized that Wen Yan had bought so many things.
Looking at the three-wheeled vehicle, Shen Jinghe's expression was indescribable.
"Wen Yan, you didn't buy this car as a gift for Grandma Zhou, did you?"
"How could that be? I didn't expect Teacher Shen to have such a vivid imagination. I rented this car."
"Why don't you just discuss it with the production crew and have their vehicles take the stuff over?"
"It's troublesome, and what if these things damage the props on set? That would be a disaster. Teacher Shen, are you worried about the cost of renting a car?"
"...Why didn't you rent a different car? Why did you choose this model?"
“I asked, and the delivery driver said that you need a three-wheeled vehicle to get into Granny Zhou’s village; larger vehicles can’t get through those narrow roads.”
Shen Jinghe was speechless; it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Once they arrive at the location, the film crew will need to make preparations.
Knowing that Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe were going to visit the elderly, Zhou Junye offered to make things convenient for them.
“There are two prop electric cars in the group. Why don’t you two ride them over? We don’t know how long it would take to get there on foot.”
Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe were both dumbfounded, and they said in unison, "I can't ride an electric bike."
At this moment, Shen Jinghe's assistant silently raised his hand: "I can ride."
Wen Yan blinked: "But a small electric scooter can't seat three people."
"Then let's get someone who can ride an electric scooter to help take you around," Zhou Junye suggested.
Just then, Wang Che passed by the group and was pulled over by the director to be their temporary driver.
The four people and two electric scooters arrived at Grandma Zhou's house in about ten minutes.
Grandma Zhou was delighted to see Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe. She quickly made arrangements for everyone to sit down and offered to make them tea, insisting that they stay for lunch.
