How could someone like that stoop so low as to need their students to introduce actors?
Why would Jiang Lei, with such a big screenwriter preparing for a film, give an opportunity to someone as nameless and unknown as her?
Has the entire entertainment industry collapsed? Has everything fallen apart? Was someone taken for a urine test by Uncle Hat? Why is there absolutely no news about it?
In any case, you must seize the opportunity. How will you know if you don't try?
Shang Yechu didn't hesitate for long before dialing the number Jiang Lei had given her.
The phone number Jiang Lei gave was obviously not Zheng Bohan's own, but rather the number of his casting assistant.
The call was answered after a long pause, and a sleepy voice came from the other end: "Who is it?"
After asking that question, the other person yawned.
Shang Yechu glanced at the sky; it was 11 a.m.
They're still not up at this hour... Is Zheng Bohan any good?
While inwardly grumbling, Shang Yechu politely replied, "I was introduced by Director Jiang Lei..."
"Hmm? Oh." The other party interrupted Shang Yechu before she could even finish speaking, saying, "Then come on over. Liuxu Road, Hengshi Film and Television Base..."
After hearing the address, Shang Yechu quickly asked, "What is the name of this project?"
"Name?" The assistant paused suspiciously. "You'll find out when you get here."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Shang Yechu stared silently at the phone screen where the call had ended, feeling that the world was a giant makeshift operation.
Many things can be seen from the details, and Shang Yechu now has serious doubts about whether this phone number really belongs to Zheng Bohan's team.
At this time in her previous life, Shang Yechu was still playing a lovesick landlady in a comedy film crew, outwitting the male lead. She couldn't even afford a cell phone, let alone have time to follow entertainment news. She had very few usable memories related to the entertainment industry.
Shang Yechu originally intended to ask Jiang Lei, but considering that she was probably still busy filming on set, she gave up on the idea.
Left with no other choice, Shang Yechu downloaded Weibo, registered an account, and began searching for Zheng Bohan's name on Weibo, trying to find out what the other party was up to.
There are plenty of entertainment marketing accounts on Weibo. Although the information they provide is a mix of truth and falsehood, you can still glean some clues from them.
If someone were an insider, they would naturally have insider information channels. Unfortunately, Shang Yechu is currently only considered a nobody in the industry, so she can only resort to this primitive method.
If a renowned screenwriter like Zheng Bohan were to actually make a move, it would definitely cause a stir on Weibo.
Shang Yechu searched using various keywords, and the most recent real-time search results only showed some video marketing accounts posting the same generic copy, praising Zheng Bohan's talent and such.
This is normal. In the entertainment industry—at least in the Chinese entertainment industry—screenwriters have very low status and fame, and there's not much discussion about them.
Shang Yechu persevered and continued flipping through the pages.
She still remembered Jiang Lei's words on the phone: "How long have they been preparing? How long have you been preparing?" and "A battle of wits." Zheng Bohan was probably competing with a large project; she should look for larger projects that had been in development for a longer period.
After flipping through a few pages, Shang Yechu finally found a marketing tweet that had some value.
In the entertainment industry, Xu Hanwen and Zheng Bohan are a pair of stars who have always been praised. They are from the same school, classmates, and roommates. They are known in the industry as "Double Han"...
Between 1999 and 2014, the two collaborated on several dramas, including "Xiyuan," "The Secret History of Donglou," "The Legend of Qingyue," "The Legend of David: The Story of Lady Yi," and "Three Guns and Three Separations." Most of these works were well-received and highly successful in terms of viewership.
However, since last year, after the director and screenwriter, who seemed like a perfect match, unfollowed each other on Weibo, the two have had no further interaction...
According to reliable sources, the two had a long-standing conflict...

Shang Yechu's fingers paused.
If Zheng Bohan is only "somewhat famous", then Xu Hanwen is known to everyone in and outside the industry!
As a renowned television director, Xu Hanwen's name is practically a guarantee of high viewership ratings. His reputation far surpasses that of screenwriter Zheng Bohan.
Shang Yechu immediately began searching for Xu Hanwen's name.
Xu Hanwen's search results were far more numerous than Zheng Bohan's. Shang Yechu immediately spotted a gossip post from a certain marketing account.
Rumors are circulating online that director Xu Hanwen (@文海浩瀚)'s new TV series "Qingyun Biography" will begin filming soon! [cheers][cheers] Looking forward to Director Xu's new work, my remote control is ready! [happy][happy]
"The Legend of Qingyun"!!!
Shang Yechu immediately turned off her phone.
She remembered.
