Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Dealing with the Ugly Son of the Capitalist

Wen Yunzhi was already tired after having just finished recording a show, and when he heard them arguing, his head hurt even more.

She raised her hand and interrupted them.

Wen Yunzhi looked at Cheng Na and asked, "What time do they have the audition this afternoon?"

Cheng Na raised her hand and looked at her watch. "One o'clock in the afternoon. There are still two hours left."

Wen Yunzhi sat on the chair opposite He Nian, looked at Cheng Na and said, "Sister Na, you and Yuan Chu should go out first. I have something to discuss with Director He."

Cheng Na looked at Wen Yunzhi, then at He Nian, and then walked out with Yuan Chu.

After everyone left, Wen Yunzhi looked at He Nian and asked, "Did something happen to the group?"

He Nian looked a little panicked, but it was gone for a moment before he calmed down again. "That's not the case. The group is doing fine."

Wen Yunzhi didn't know at first why the male protagonist chose this person who brought money into the group.

But she figured it out just now.

If there was no problem with the Pei family, how could He Nian refuse Pei Simo's investment and go to someone else.

Just when Wen Yunzhi was about to say something, her phone rang.

She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Pei Simo calling.

Wen Yunzhi pressed the answer button and the hands-free function and placed them on the table.

Pei Simo's voice came from the phone, somewhat low and serious, "Yunzhi, is He Nian with you?"

He Nian was a little frightened and quickly waved towards Wen Yunzhi.

Wen Yunzhi glanced at He Nian and did not answer Pei Simo's question. He just replied, "What's wrong?"

"He Nian, if you dare to take other people's money, get out of here and never come back to the Pei family in your life." Although Pei Simo asked that, he was already certain that He Nian was here, and he didn't talk to Wen Yunzhi, but asked He Nian directly.

The first time Wen Yunzhi saw Pei Simo get angry in the business world.

She glanced at He Nian who was hiding in fear and shrugged at him.

There is nothing I can do to help.

"But the group..." He Nian stopped talking halfway and looked up at Wen Yunzhi without daring to say anything.

Although He Nian knew that Wen Yunzhi held a high position in Pei Simo's heart, he was still an outsider after all, and he did not dare to say much about matters related to the group.

But Pei Simo didn't shy away from it. "I've already dealt with the group's issues. I have something to do this afternoon so I can't go to the audition. If you choose Fang Yuan, you and he will get out of this project together. There are more than one director in the entertainment industry."

He was not bothered by being scolded, and was even happier to hear that everything was resolved. He kept comforting her, "That's good, that's good."

"Yunzhi, just choose whoever you want." Pei Simo's last words were to Wen Yunzhi. Just after he finished speaking, he received a message from his assistant urging him to attend a meeting. He hung up without saying anything else.

Wen Yunzhi guessed correctly.

It really is a group issue, probably some kind of asset turnover problem or something.

But now that Pei Simo has awakened, he can naturally prevent these things, and the same things as in the original book will not happen.

What's more, Wen Yunzhi already had a plan.

Although He Nian heard what Pei Simo said, he was still a little worried, "Sister Wen, Fang Yuan's father is not easy to talk to."

Wen Yunzhi was confident, "Don't worry, we'll be able to talk soon."

From the moment she saw Fang Yuan on the list, she had thought of a countermeasure.

New Year's greetings are a bit strange.

But Wen Yunzhi looked at He Nian and didn't answer. He just said, "Let's go, Director He, and have dinner."

She rushed to the office right after getting off the plane. She was actually a little hungry.

Plus, the auditions would definitely be busier in the afternoon, so I quickly grabbed my meal while I had no work to do.

To liven up the atmosphere, Wen Yunzhi also called Cheng Na, Yuan Chu, Xiao Jing and Yang Yang, as a way of thanking them for their hard work for the studio during this period.

After lunch, Wen Yunzhi and He Nian went to the audition location.

Lin Shuyu arrived early. When he saw the two of them coming, he quickly put away the script, stood up, walked over and greeted them one by one.

Wen Yunzhi also greeted Lin Shuyu, but when he saw his eyes, he said, "You must have been staying up late recently, and you have dark circles under your eyes. There are a lot of paparazzi watching you now, so don't let them take pictures of you looking ugly."

Lin Shuyu nodded, "I've been a little anxious these days and couldn't sleep."

He Nian walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Relax, there's nothing to worry about."

Wen Yunzhi didn't say much to Lin Xuyu. After all, he didn't know if there were any paparazzi nearby. If there were, those paparazzi would just look at the pictures and make comments. If the news got out, it would be troublesome.

He Nian took Wen Yunzhi to the conference room.

In addition to the two of them, there are also the project's casting director, producer, and others.

Originally, it was not Wen Yunzhi's turn to choose the male lead, but after all, Pei Simo, as the largest producer, had spoken, and no one dared to look down on Wen Yunzhi, so they invited her to sit in the main seat.

Wen Yunzhi did not refuse and sat in the center seat with He Nian.

Lin Shuyu sat next to him.

After a while, the new popular star Zhou Yixuan walked in.

He was quite humble and greeted them one by one as he came in. However, compared with Lin Shuyu, he was less naive and more comfortable in the world of fame and fortune.

When Zhou Yixuan greeted Wen Yunzhi, she smiled and extended her hand, saying softly, "Teacher Wen, it's been a long time since we last met. We were on the same variety show before."

Wen Yunzhi naturally had no memory of this incident, but Zhou Yixuan's attitude was so good that she couldn't act like a big shot, so she just responded politely.

Lin Shuyu and Zhou Yixuan sat one after the other in the audition waiting area.

But even ten minutes after the scheduled audition time, Fang Yuan was still nowhere to be seen.

Wen Yunzhi had lost his patience a long time ago. When the clock hit 1:10, he looked at He Nian and said, "Let's get started."

Before the New Year, I let Fang Yuan in because I thought the group was short of funds, and I was in a panic and agreed to his father's request to let him bring in capital. But now that the problem has been resolved, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.

He looked at Lin Shuyu and Zhou Yixuan, "Let's get started. Who of you wants to go first?"

But just as the New Year greetings were over, a very arrogant man's voice came from outside the door, "Why are you in such a hurry? You want to start even if I'm not here? That's too disrespectful to me."

When these words came out, everyone looked towards the door.

Fang Yuan walked in from outside in a nonchalant manner, looked around the room, and finally landed on Wen Yunzhi, greeting him in a very familiar manner, "Xiao Wen is here too. Last time I told your dad to invite you to my house. I guarantee you will have a great time and never want to leave."

He deliberately emphasized the word "play", and his tone was somewhat frivolous and malicious.

He Nian glanced at Wen Yunzhi and spoke for her: "Speak properly."

Fang Yuan laughed disdainfully, "Hey, Director He, you are awesome now. You are not the cowardly person you were when you had dinner with my dad. You can really bluff people now."

Wen Yunzhi felt a headache when he heard this man talking.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Fang Yuan, who was obviously good-looking but said unhappily, "Did you eat shit when you were ten minutes late? Your mouth stinks, and you keep saying 'daddy, daddy'. Did your dad cut off your umbilical cord and brain when you were born?"

Fang Yuan didn't seem to expect Wen Yunzhi's temper to suddenly become so violent and his curses to be so harsh.

But he was not a pushover. He walked up to Wen Yunzhi in two or three steps and said, "How dare you say that? I told my dad not to invest in this drama, so you guys can forget about filming it."

Wen Yunzhi hated people who always mentioned their parents. Seeing Fang Yuan doing this, he rolled his eyes in disgust and said, "Dad? You are so filial to your father. If he dies in a hundred years, you will die with him."

He Nian patted Wen Yunzhi's shoulder and said, "Sister Wen, let's not be angry."

After coaxing Wen Yunzhi, he raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan, "I didn't agree to your father's request when we had dinner together. I just said I needed to consider it. But judging by your performance now, I don't even need to consider it."

The others did not dare to be surprised and could only watch the three people silently.

After all, the three people in front of him really have family backgrounds and they should be the ones to fight.

"Okay, okay, if you're still being stubborn, I'll call you now and tell you to stop filming."

Fang Yuan was about to call his father, but Wen Yunzhi spoke up:

"Fang Yuan, your father must have suppressed the incident of drunk driving and hit-and-run last week."

Fang Yuan froze while making the call, "How did you know?"

In the original novel, the drama was almost halfway through filming when Fang Yuan was exposed for hit-and-run, so the male lead was temporarily replaced, and the female lead played the role again without asking for any remuneration.

Bringing this matter to light now is a good thing.

Wen Yunzhi said: "Not only do I know, but I dare to believe that you are talking to your father on the phone right now. He wants to kill you now."

Fang Yuan was half-believing and half-doubting. He wanted to make a call but was a little worried about what Wen Yunzhi said.

While he was hesitating, the phone rang.

He took a look and saw that it was his father calling.

Fang Yuan no longer had the momentum he had just now and was a little hesitant to answer the call.

Wen Yunzhi guessed who was calling and said to Fang Yuan, "Didn't you just miss your dad? Answer the phone."

Fang Yuan was so angry that he grabbed the phone and ran away.

He Nian didn't understand what was going on. He looked at Wen Yunzhi and was about to ask something, but he saw Wen Yunzhi looking at Lin Shuyu and Zhou Yixuan and said, "Who of you will start first?"

After all, Zhou Yixuan was a senior, and it would be embarrassing if the newcomer started first, so he stepped forward.

Wen Yunzhi watched Zhou Yixuan's audition very seriously.

When I first met her, I felt that Zhou Yixuan's personality was quite gentle, but the audition scene was in the second half of the script, and the male lead's personality had become quite deep and tough.

But Zhou Yixuan adjusted herself very well and was basically able to get the audience to empathize with the role, so her acting skills passed the test.

As for image, a male star who becomes popular with just one drama must have a good image.

The audition was over and everyone applauded.

Lin Shuyu became even more nervous, swallowed, then put down the script and walked to the stage.

Wen Yunzhi was looking forward to Lin Xuyu's understanding of the second half.

She sat up and looked at it carefully.

Facts have proved that Lin Shuyu is indeed suitable for this job. Even with the example of Zhou Yixuan, his acting skills are not backward, and he is even slightly better in handling the plot.

The two actors left after their audition, leaving these people alone to discuss.

Most people support Zhou Yixuan, thinking that his acting skills and appearance are suitable for the role. Moreover, his last explosion in popularity has proven that he is loved by the audience, and using a newcomer would be very risky.

Some people also support Lin Shuyu, thinking that he is similar to the character in the drama.

Wen Yunzhi still voted for Lin Shuyu based on his intuition.

She always felt that Zhou Yixuan was not as gentle as she appeared to be.

Especially when she looked into Zhou Yixuan's eyes, she always felt it was particularly terrifying.

He Nian originally supported Lin Shuyu, but as the chief director he also had his own considerations. For example, Zhou Yixuan could indeed bring him a lot of traffic. For example, as the next drama of this new traffic star, the audience always has to taste the saltiness.

But Lin Shuyu does have a kind of newcomer beauty, and is very suitable for the male lead.

After some hesitation, He Nian followed his heart and chose Lin Shuyu.

According to the current voting, Lin Xuyu is one vote lower than Zhou Yixuan. Even if Pei Simo, who has not arrived yet, chooses Lin Xuyu, it will only be a tie.

But after all, Pei Simo is the largest producer and has absolute control. He Nian can only say: "Let's stop here today and discuss it with President Pei before making the final decision."

No one else said anything else.

He Nian had to stay to handle work, so Wen Yunzhi planned to drive back to the villa.

Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Yixuan's assistant came up to her.

"Teacher Wen, our teacher Zhou wants to see you. Please come to the car and talk."
