"Thank you, Director Hou."
Xiao He thanked him.
"It's nothing." Hou Rongxuan took a leisurely sip of tea. "Did you get the recommendation slots?"
The casting process this time was done through internal recommendations, meaning resources were not leaked to outsiders, so the audition qualification was very important.
“We will be using one of Haohan Entertainment’s featured slots,” Liu Rulan said at the opportune moment.
Hou Rongxuan nodded: "Okay, then I won't worry about that. You guys do your best."
Xiao He: "I am truly grateful to Director Hou."
"but--"
Hou Rongxuan glanced at Liu Rulan, who seemed to realize something and immediately stood up with a smile, saying, "I'll go downstairs and drive the car out. You two chat."
Hou Rongxuan was also pleased with Liu Rulan's tact and nodded slightly.
After Liu Rulan left, Xiao He cautiously asked, "Director, is there anything else?"
"Take this script back, read it carefully, and think about it a lot."
Hou Rongxuan said that.
“I think you have your own ideas. Make your own decisions about some things. Don’t be like Liu Zehang and let his agent lead you astray.”
Xiao He frowned, then stood up and bowed very solemnly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder, Director Hou."
"Actually, there are some things I shouldn't have said, since they might offend people." Hou Rongxuan coughed lightly. "You should go back first and think about it yourself."
Hou Rongxuan's words were truly heartfelt and sincere; they were indeed advice and counsel given to Xiao He by a senior.
This can be considered as a way of repaying Xiao He for his strong promotion of "Killing Life".
Whether Xiao He can grasp the deeper meaning of Hou Rongxuan's words depends on Xiao He's own understanding.
...
Xiao He remained unusually silent throughout the journey.
Liu Rulan, who was driving, was a little puzzled. She looked at Xiao He through the rearview mirror and asked, "What did Director Hou say to you after I left? Why do you look so preoccupied?"
Xiao He pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "He didn't say anything, just told me to study the script carefully. I still don't understand what he meant."
Liu Rulan chuckled: "What? Did he tell you a riddle to guess?"
Xiao He agreed earnestly: "Actually, Director Hou is quite suitable to be a riddle teller."
"Could it be that he knows some inside information?" Liu Rulan also fell into deep thought. "Should we go and find out more?"
“I’m afraid he won’t tell us anymore,” Xiao He said. “Let’s take a look at the script first. Maybe the script will contain the answer to what Director Hou wants to say.”
"Okay, let's look at the script first."
About thirty minutes later, Liu Rulan drove the car into a high-end residential area.
Previously, Xiao He either stayed in different hotels arranged by the film crew or lived in the school dormitory. Now that he has officially graduated from Shanghai University, he naturally cannot continue to live in the dormitory. In addition, given Xiao He's growing fame, Liu Rulan decided to move Xiao He to a safer place to live.
As a result, Xiao He was assigned to this very famous upscale residential community in Shanghai.
Of course, with their current financial resources, they can't just buy a house with a wave of their hand; instead, they rented it for three years.
As for the rent for these three years... even though Xiao He is rich now, it still hurts to think about it.
However, such high rent comes with a super large detached villa and a very safe security environment. You don't have to worry about strange people entering the community, and your privacy is guaranteed.
Liu Rulan drove the car directly into the garage, and then gestured for Xiao He to get out and see her housing for the next three years.
This was the first time Xiao He had come to see the house he was currently living in. He had been busy with his thesis defense recently, so Liu Rulan had been handling these matters personally.
