The skirt reminded him of a memory that he didn't know whether to call pleasant or funny. Yan Yongwang gently closed the door, holding the underwear, and walked to the laundry room.
After pouring detergent and disinfectant, he leaned against the washing machine, waiting for his underwear to be washed and dried.
While waiting, Yan Yongwang opened his mobile phone and began to read the synopsis of "The Ruthless Way".
"The Ruthless Way" is a novel about cultivating immortals, with a total of one million words. It tells the story of a modern man who died in a car accident and traveled through time to the world of cultivating immortals. He started as a farmer's boy and accidentally got a book about immortals. He practiced Qi into his body and thus stepped into the world of immortals.
Some readers commented that this is a non-traditional novel about cultivation. Unlike the usual novels that take the protagonist as their perspective and let readers watch the protagonist level up, "Wuqing Dao" focuses more on group portraits. On the road to becoming an immortal, the protagonist is not the strongest: he has more powerful supporting characters around him, great and righteous colleagues, and distinctive villains... On the long road to becoming an immortal, the protagonist has had a lot and lost a lot. The supporting characters described in the novel are extremely brilliant, and the confrontation and emotional drama with the protagonist are gorgeous and accurate. The plot is also compact, with ups and downs, constructing a desirable world of cultivation.
The role of "Hua Rongying" that Wang Chi sincerely invited him to play is the third female character in the novel. She has neither too many nor too few scenes, and does not have too many emotional scenes with the protagonist. Most of the time, she appears as a "cold and lonely flower" in the world of cultivation.
She is so beautiful that she transcends the mundane world and is admired by thousands of monks. She should be a peony on earth, but she has a heart of iron and does not care about love, but only hopes for immortality.
After quickly reading the outline of this part, Yan Yongwang clicked on the column of the author Xianyuan on the website where "The Ruthless Way" was first released.
"The author Xianyuan joined JJ Literature Network in 20XX. She is female and her serialized works include "The Ruthless Way."
The column is very clean, with only one book, "The Ruthless Way".
Last updated three years ago.
Or to put it another way, to be more precise, it was one month before his parents' plane crash.
This novel has been serialized for nearly ten years. The author writes slowly, about 100,000 words a year. He doesn't listen to readers' requests for updates, and doesn't care about the so-called artificial or natural rankings on the literature website. In the first few years, the novel had few words, and was recommended as a "seedling" in some forums. After a few years, when the number of words increased, it was rated as a "fairy novel" in the forum's boutique posts.
Although the novel has not been officially completed, the protagonist's story has roughly come to an end. Even if the author has not updated the novel for three years, it does not affect the readers' understanding of the entire story.
That is why Wang Chi accepted the producer’s invitation to direct the script adapted from this “unfinished” novel.
Yan Yongwang browsed the news on the Internet, and an idea kept flashing through his mind, but there was no evidence to prove that what he thought was true.
==
In the gentle breeze of August in Ancheng, a girl with a good figure stood on the roadside. She wore a baseball cap, a mask, a white shirt and over-the-knee shorts, AJ shoes, and carried a cowhide bag.
A boy passing by stared at the shoes on her feet. The more he looked, the more he couldn't walk. The girl next to him pulled him, and he came back to his senses.
The boy couldn't hide his surprise and excitement: "Holy crap, baby, the AJs that girl is wearing are limited edition!"
“The money is from three years ago!”
"The price has already reached over 100,000 US dollars!"
Girl: "...Can you please stop being unable to walk when you see shoes?"
The boy twisted his neck and was reluctant to let go: "But that pair of AJ shoes is really good!"
girl:"…………"
After much pulling and tugging, the boy was pulled away by the girl.
The girl who was left behind, who was Yan Yongwang in essence, and now a straight male CEO using the identity of Chao Juan, stared silently at the pair of shoes on his feet, wondering: Are the shoes he took out from the cloakroom so expensive?
He stared down at his shoes - all the clothes and shoes in the cloakroom were bought for him by his mother.
The cloakroom at home can be filled thanks to Ms. Shi Xianyuan's passion for life-like Barbie dolls.
Ms. Shi Xianyuan: My daughter should also have the same clothes that other girls have!
Yan Yongwang: %……￥#……
Ms. Shi Xianyuan: Although the one in my house is a goose, it doesn’t make a difference to some extent!
Yan Yongwang: ...&￥￥...&
All in all, the 60-square-meter cloakroom at home is filled with his clothes.
This time when he came to Ancheng, he just grabbed a few pieces of clothes, picked out some shoes that were easy to walk in, and came.
I contacted Wang Chi before coming and told him that I would come to visit the crew.
Wang Chi was naturally very much looking forward to it and applauded in welcome.
There is a commercial street outside the Ancheng Film and Television Base with many tourists coming and going. Yan Yongwang stood in the sun for a while, squinted his eyes to check the time, and took out his cell phone to call Wang Chi.
"Hello, Director Wang Chi."
"Yes, I'm near the film and television base. Where is your crew?"
"You want to arrange someone to pick me up?" Yan Yongwang frowned slightly, but he didn't refuse. He looked around and said, "I'm in front of a fast food restaurant in the commercial street."
Using a fast food restaurant as a landmark is a good choice.
Over there, Wang Chi quickly asked the staff to bring her in, and easily found the fast food restaurant and the young girl with her face wrapped tightly at the door of the fast food restaurant.
There were a lot of people coming and going. The staff saw that the girl in front of them was wearing a hat and a mask, and did not pay attention to her appearance. They just thought that she was Director Wang’s friend who came here to play.
"Hello, I'm... Chao Juan."
The staff was very friendly and joked with her: "Director Wang dropped the work he was doing as soon as he received your call. His face was so smiling that the whole crew was stunned."
The girl's eyes seemed to bend slightly. The staff member glanced at it inadvertently and his heart skipped a beat. He thought: This girl's eyes are really beautiful when she smiles.
Arrived at the set without any obstruction.
"The Ruthless Way" is a movie script adapted from a novel about cultivating immortals.
This means that many fighting scenes require the use of a green room and post-processing - while the scenes shot at the Ancheng Film and Television Base are mostly literary dramas.
The male lead Ding Xuance is played by Chen Haohan, one of the hottest traffic stars at the moment, while the female lead Lin Linyue is played by Xu Bailing, who debuted as a child star for 15 years.
Both of them have well-deserved outstanding looks. Although Chen Haohan is a traffic star and his acting skills are mediocre, Wang Chi is good at practice. He even took him to acting classes for several months before the crew started work, which made Chen Haohan's acting skills stand out among a group of traffic stars.
Wang Chi is extremely good at the changes of light and shadow in movies. Film critics have called him the most literary director in commercial films. While paying attention to the plot and box office, he can also pay attention to the picture of every moment in the movie.
Meticulously crafted and beautiful.
At this time, Wang Chi was watching the two people's scene in front of the screen.
He frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the staff: "Director, I brought the person you wanted."
Wang Chi immediately looked at the girl behind the staff member.
When I saw this, I was stunned.
The last time we met, she was wearing ill-fitting suit and trousers. Her features were cool and delicate, and no matter how loose her clothes were, they did not make her look like a child who had stolen adult clothes - because her temperament was cold and outstanding, and her eyes were mature, and you could tell at a glance that she was an adult.
But when we met today, the cold and beautiful woman in my impression was gone.
In front of him was a little girl wearing a white shirt, knee-length shorts, sneakers, and carrying a middle school student bag (Director Wang didn’t know much about bags) on her back...?
She clearly said she was in her twenties, but the way she was dressed she looked no more than eighteen!
Wang Chi stared at her for three seconds, hesitantly: "Miss Chao?"
A voice came from the mask: "It's me."
The familiar voice made Wang Chi suddenly feel relieved.
He scratched his head, stood up, and said, "The way you are dressed today makes me a little confused..."
"Chao Juan" took off his mask and hat, revealing his full face.
The people watching her couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately looked at Wang Chi: Damn! Where did the director find this beautiful lady?
Beautiful lady Yan Yongwang: "I am here to visit the crew."
After a pause, the beautiful lady lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "I came to ask Director Wang something by the way."
Wang Chi rubbed his hands and asked the staff next to him to buy the summer two-piece set: milk tea and ice cream.
"Hey, tell me what you want to say. I'll take you around the set later, okay?"
"It would be even better if you could come and make a cameo appearance sometime!"
After the summer two-piece suit was delivered, Wang Chi took a big sip of bubble milk tea. Chen Haohan and Xu Bailing sat in their own rest area, whispering with their assistants about the woman Director Wang was talking to.
Xu Bailing: "That woman is so beautiful." She looked complicated and murmured softly, "Could she be here to steal my position as the heroine?"
Chen Haohan and she became friends because they were criticized for being late: "I don't think so. Director Wang is not the kind of person who can change roles at will."
Xu Bailing was still uneasy. She held the script in her hand, distracted, and couldn't help looking over there.
Before Wang Chi could finish his polite words, Chao Juan asked softly, "Director Wang, I want to ask, have you contacted the original author of this script?"
Wang Chi: “?” He was not expecting this question, and was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses, “I haven’t contacted the author of the novel.”
"But the script and everything else was written by the author. It was written several years ago. After the rights were sold, there were no other requirements except that I should be the director."
"After the author knew that you were the director, he didn't contact you recently?"
Her voice was cool and elegant. The bright sunlight of Ancheng shone through the shadows of the trees, through the tassels on the edge of the big parasol, and fell on her cheek.
It's like a painting.
Wang Chi was a little stunned. He said, "No, at least not yet."
After asking, he hesitated again: "Miss Chao, what do you want to do by asking this question?"
The stunning woman in front of him lowered her eyes and remained silent. Although her face did not show much expression, she looked frustrated. After a while, she said, "The author may be someone I know."
Director Wang was surprised by this answer. Seeing her expression, he called Chengpin Lan without thinking: "Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
The result didn't work.
Yan Yongwang just looked at him. Before coming here, he had also contacted the novel website and asked the copyright owner, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
When selling the copyright of the novel, the author chose to connect via the Internet and his face never appeared during the entire process. He even hired a lawyer to sign the contract.
After analyzing the clues layer by layer, he was unable to find any real information about the author of the novel.
But Yan Yongwang was already 70 to 80 percent sure.
Wang Chi invited him to have some cold drinks. Yan Yongwang waited patiently for a while, and then saw him answer another phone call.
"Boss Cheng, yes, I was the one who hit him just now."
"Look, I want to ask, who is the author of our novel? Why didn't you come to the set to take a look? I wonder if you are satisfied with my casting?"
"Ah, you don't know either."
While speaking, Wang Chi shrugged helplessly at Yan Yongwang, and he mouthed: Mr. Cheng doesn't know either.
Yan Yongwang was not very surprised. He rubbed his brows and wanted to say sorry for bothering him. But the next moment, he heard Wang Chi asked in surprise: "Boss Cheng, your brother is coming to the set?"
"Oh, I'm here to visit the studio."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Cheng."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chi apologized, "It's really strange. The work is about to be made into a movie, but the author never shows up. It's really a bit strange."
Yan Yongwangxin said that if the author had passed away, it would not be surprising that he did not appear.
He didn't say anything more on the topic, but just watched Wang Chi happily finish the last few sips of milk tea, and was ready to take him to "visit" the crew.
All the way he kept talking about how great his crew was, and seemed like he was very much looking forward to him joining.
The tour of the crew took neither too long nor too short, enough time for the president of an entertainment and cultural company to arrive for a visit.
Wang Chi received a call saying that it was Pingdu Lan’s brother Pingduhe, the president of Weicheng Culture Company, who came.
Yan Yongwang happened to be following behind him. Wang Chi smiled and said, "Chen Haohan's boss is coming to visit the studio. I'm going over there. Do you want to come and see?"
Wang Chi winked and said, "It's that handsome CEO with a buzz cut!"
"I've never seen a buzz cut guy in the industry who can compare to him."
In fact, although Yan Yongwang was not very familiar with Pincheng Lan, he was very familiar with his brother Pincheng He.
Cheng Pin He's company often places advertisements in his company's marketing department and on e-commerce software, he invests a sum of money in the opening screen advertisements every year for his artists.
There is a saying in the industry, which was told to him by Shen He——
If Yan Yongwang is a refrigerator, then the finished product He is a high-power refrigerator.
A simple comparison shows that Yan Yongwang and Pincheng He are the same type of people. Their facial nerves are not very good and they usually look gloomy and cold.
Yan Yongwang: “…” Before he could refuse, he saw Wang Chi walk a few steps forward. Coincidentally, he met a cool-faced handsome guy with a shaved head and a well-tailored suit at the corner.
A shaved head looks really good on a round head - Yan Yongwang thought from a man's perspective. He looked up casually, and the next moment, his eyes met with Chengpin He's.
Wang Chi: "Hey, Mr. Cheng, are you here to visit the set today?" He has a pretty good temper towards his boss, who is also the financial sponsor and the leading actor. In addition, since "Miss Chao Juan" has arrived today, he is in visibly high spirits.
Chengpinhe had a cold face. He didn't look at Wang Chi, but only stared at him.
The handsome guy with a crew cut is very tall, over 1.80 meters. When he lowers his eyes slightly to look at people, he gives the illusion of being cold and arrogant.
Soon, this illusion disappeared, because he suddenly smiled.
"Yes, I came to visit today."
Chengpin He's eyes never left Yan Yongwang, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his teeth were white, and his smile instantly diluted the coldness on his face. This smile was unexpectedly beautiful.
"Director Wang, can you introduce the girl next to you?"
Yan Yongwang froze, not realizing what he was saying. There was only one thought in his mind: Why is it that his high-powered refrigerator looks better when it smiles than his? !
