As for the female lead, Shen Yu had chosen Jin Zhu in her heart, as well as Wang Yingzi, who had always been popular.
Both of them have big eyes and high noses, giving them a very dignified and elegant appearance that aligns well with the aesthetic standards of this era.
The difference between the two is that Wang Yingzi has a more heroic appearance, while Jin Zhu has a more charming and ethereal appearance, the kind that makes people like her at first glance.
Shen Yu then looked towards the male protagonist.
She also saw several very familiar actors, who are also young actors who will be very popular in the next twenty years.
Jiang Zihe, Cheng Xingrui, and Du Lei.
Shen Yu chose these three male actors who would become the most popular in the future and who had no negative news afterward.
She wrote down their names, along with those of Jinzhu and Wang Yingzi, and handed them to Wang Weiguo.
After reviewing the list, Wang Weiguo nodded to Chen Yu and then handed it to Director Yang, who announced the list of accepted candidates.
When the young actors saw the list in Director Yang's hand, they knew that the selected personnel would be announced soon, and they all became nervous.
Factory Director Yang glanced at them and then said, "Now I'll announce the list of selected candidates. Those whose names are called, stay here. Jin Zhu, Wang Yingzi, Jiang Zihe, Cheng Xingrui, and Du Lei, the rest of you can go back now!"
The five selected individuals all had smiles on their faces.
The actors who were not selected left looking disappointed, filled with melancholy and a hint of resentment.
With the cast finalized, the rest of the filming process is up to director Wang Weiguo.
Shen Yu thought she still needed to visit Aunt Chen Shuqin, so she didn't linger any longer and got up to say goodbye to Director Yang and Wang Weiguo.
She also made an appointment with Wang Weiguo to come to Guangzhou three days later to see the finished advertisement.
They also allowed some time in case she wasn't satisfied with the final product and needed to make revisions or reshoots, so they could do it again.
Of course, it would be best if a well-made film could be completed in one take.
When Shen Yu and the others drove out of the film studio, it was already 5:30 pm.
She said to Man Jianfeng, who was driving, "Ah Feng, let's find a place to eat first, and then we'll go find Aunt Chen."
Man Jianfeng responded, "Yes, Chairman Shen."
It just so happened that Aunt Chen's house wasn't far from the film studio, so they found a state-run restaurant nearby, ate something simple, and filled their stomachs.
In those days, people ate dinner relatively early. When Shen Yu saw that it was almost 7 p.m., she thought that Aunt Chen's family should have finished dinner by now, so she asked Man Jianfeng to drive to Aunt Chen's house.
Following Shen Yu's directions, the Mercedes-Benz drove into the street that felt both strange and familiar to Shen Yu.
At this time in July, before it gets completely dark, many people have finished their dinner and are sitting outside enjoying the cool air in front of their homes on both sides of the street.
They saw the brand-new, impressive Mercedes-Benz W140 pull up and stared at it with wide, curious eyes.
Following the original owner's memories, Shen Yu found Aunt Chen's house.
The Mercedes-Benz with a forked head was parked in front of her house, and people sitting by the roadside enjoying the cool air couldn't help but stand up.
Shen Yu got out of the car and took out a case of cola, a case of orange juice, a case of soda, and a bag of snacks and pastries from the trunk.
Accompanied by Xiang Hong and Hua Guanghui, Shen Yu walked towards Chen Shuqin's house.
Man Jianfeng stayed in the car.
The neighbors who loved watching the excitement also waved their fans and followed behind Shen Yu, wanting to see which family she was looking for.
Which family has such a generous relative?
When they saw Shen Yu stop in front of Chen Shuqin's house, they were all stunned.
They had never heard of any wealthy relatives in Chen Shuqin's family!
If they really had such wealthy relatives, their family wouldn't be struggling so much.
After Shen Yu knocked on the door, a male voice came from inside and asked, "Who is it?"
Shen Yu replied, "Is Aunt Chen Shuqin home?"
"Mom, it's for you."
Shen Yu heard someone say this from inside, and then the door opened.
A somewhat thin, dark-skinned young man appeared in front of her.
He looked Shen Yu up and down for a while, then suddenly exclaimed with delight, "You're Sister Shen Yu, aren't you?"
Seeing that he recognized her, Shen Yu carefully examined his features and searched through the original owner's memories, finally finding the boy who was a little over ten years old in her memories.
Shen Yu laughed too, "You're Jia Rong's younger brother, right?"
Ding Jiarong nodded vigorously, "Sister Shenyu, it's me. Please come in and sit down, please come in..."
Ding Jiarong is Chen Shuqin's eldest son. He was only eleven or twelve years old back then, but now he's grown into a man in his early twenties.
At this moment, Chen Shuqin, who was inside the house, also came out.
When she saw Shen Yu, she didn't dare to recognize her for a long time.
When Shen Yu called her, she said, "Aunt Chen, it's me, Shen Yu. I'm back."
Chen Shuqin then came to her senses, and tears welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly said to her, "It's Xiaoyu! You're back! That's so good! That's so good! Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."
Shen Yu went inside with Chen Shuqin and Ding Jiarong.
Chen Shuqin has four sons, and her parents-in-law also live with them. The house is only 35 square meters, but originally there were eight people living there.
There are only seven people left in the family now.
Her husband died unexpectedly in a workplace accident a few days ago.
When Shen Yu saw the black and white photo hanging on the wall, she instantly understood and felt a little sad.
She told Xiang Hong and Hua Guanghui to put the gifts down and go outside to wait for her.
Looking at her cramped home and then at Shen Yu's glamorous attire, Chen Shuqin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Xiaoyu, my house is a bit messy, I'm sorry, please make yourself at home."
Hearing that someone had arrived, the whole family came out from the separate small room.
Shen Yu had visited Chen Shuqin's home several times before because of her work in the countryside.
Shen Yu was so beautiful that she was unforgettable at first sight. Whenever her family saw her, they would think of her.
The other three boys also exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Shenyu, you're back?"
"Sister Shenyu, when did you get back?"
The boys from that time all had a deep memory of the beautiful girl Shen Yu, and could never forget her.
They all knew that Shen Yu had no choice but to go to the countryside because of family matters.
When she first went to the countryside, they were still worried about her, wondering if she was doing well.
The original owner had also sent Chen Shuqin a letter to let her know she was safe and sound, and returned the twenty yuan that Chen Shuqin had given her.
They were relieved to know she was doing well.
Later, the original owner never contacted Chen Shuqin again.
None of them expected that they would see Shen Yu again.
Shen Yu greeted them one by one before sitting down at their warm welcome.
Ding Jiarong immediately poured her a glass of water. "Sister Chenyu, please have some water."
Shen Yu said thank you, and looking at the somewhat thin Ding Jiarong, she asked with concern, "Where is Jiarong working now?"
Her question caused Ding Jiarong and Chen Shuqin's faces to darken.
