When the new semester started, Wei Yang ran between the school and the crew of "Oranges Born in Huainan". In March, he began to busy himself with the preliminary preparations for the new drama.

Tangren Films, conference room Wei Yang met Lin Yufen, the director of the new play Twinkle Twinkle Star, a middle-aged woman with glasses and ordinary looks.

Cai Yinong introduced him: "Although Director Lin has not directed many works independently, he is a veteran director of our Tangren. He has participated in many projects with Director Li and is very experienced. Wei Yang, you should communicate and learn more with Director Lin."

Wei Yang knew that these words were actually a warning to him, telling him not to think that Lin Yufen was an unknown person and look down on her.

Little did she know that she didn't need to remind him at all, Wei Yang knew Director Lin better than Cai Yinong did.

If Liu Junjie was a famous director of modern idol dramas, then Lin Yufen was a master of ancient idol dramas.

"Startling by Each Step", "Wuxin the Monster Killer", "The Journey of Flower" and "Eternal Love" are all her directorial works. Her current work is also "Love O2O", which has made Sister Shuangzi popular again.

In the field of domestic TV dramas, the Tangren system is an unavoidable term, both for artists and directors.

In later generations of ancient costume dramas, especially those with certain immortal heroes and fantasy themes, basically half of them were directed by this group of directors who were born in the Tang Dynasty or had close cooperation with them, and Lin Yufen was the best among them.

"Hello, Director Lin, please take care of me in the future."

Wei Yang was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Yufen. She was a heavyweight talent. If he could build a good relationship with her, he might be able to recruit her to lead his company in the future.

Then I can lure Liu Junjie over, and I won’t have to worry about both modern and ancient idol dramas…

"This is Liu Shishi, who plays the female lead Lin Beixing in the drama."

Cai Yinong then introduced the girl who had been standing next to her. She had long flowing hair, beautiful looks, and graceful temperament. She was the future number one star of Tangren, Liu Shishi.

Wei Yang was not surprised at all that Liu Shishi played the female lead in the new drama. Given Cai Yinong's personality, if the male lead was not an artist from Tangren, the female lead would definitely have to be one.

Ever since the previous No. 1 host of Tangren, Sun Li, got married and had children and semi-retired, the position of No. 1 host of Tangren has been vacant. Liu Shishi was signed at this time.

At the moment, although Tangren is not necessarily sure to let Liu Shishi take over as the number one female star, its intention to support her is already evident.

Mu Nianci is the second female lead in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Long Kui is the second/third female lead in "The Chinese Paladin 3", and now she is preparing to shoot "Twinkle Twinkle Star", and she is directly pushed to be the female lead. Her resources can be said to be fully utilized.

Wei Yang was thinking about something, with a sunny smile on his face, and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello Shishi, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Hello, Teacher Wei."

Liu Shishi was very humble. Although Wei Yang was not very old, as a screenwriter, he had a special status and could still be regarded as a teacher in the crew.

"No need, teacher. We are about the same age, so just call me by my first name."

After all, she is the female lead and it is a Tangren play, so Wei Yang did not act arrogantly. Cai Yinong was very satisfied when she saw this and warned Wei Yang.

"Shishi is introverted, so don't bully her."

Wei Yang smiled: "Boss Cai, is my image in your heart so bad?"

"Hmph, what do you say?"

Cai Yinong has been dealing with Wei Yang for more than half a year. She has rarely taken advantage of him, but has suffered losses and setbacks more often. She is even suffering from post-traumatic stress.

Although Liu Shishi has filmed several dramas, she is no match for Wei Yang in terms of mental skills. How can she not be worried?

"Well, you have ruined my reputation."

Wei Yang responded with a wry smile, while Liu Shishi looked at him curiously, feeling somewhat puzzled.

This Wei Yang looks very sunny and gentle, but why does Mr. Cai act like he has run into a debt collector...

…

Today's meeting is mainly for the main creators to get together, talk about the script, and then discuss the early preparations. The specific start time of filming will probably be after the summer vacation.

At present, Tangren’s main focus is still on "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", and everything else has to give way.

To some extent, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" can be regarded as a "sub-drama" of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Fortunately, there was no overlapping shoot, otherwise today there was a battle of six realms against the Evil Sword Immortal, and tomorrow there was a campus romance and avoidance of gangsters, which would have been a huge test for the actors' sense of belief.

"Director Lin, this is my idea for the script..."

After the meeting started, it was mainly Wei Yang, Lin Yufen and several responsible persons communicating, while Cai Yinong listened to the reports.

As for the heroine, Liu Shishi is just a transparent person in the background.

Even though she is the female lead, she has little say in the behind-the-scenes preparations of the crew, and she has only just received the script.

Cai Yinong still had some other ideas about the female lead, and later sought the opinion of director Lin Yufen, who felt that Liu Shishi was more suitable.

Even Wei Yang actually indirectly assisted. In the script, his suggestion for the heroine was that she should be beautiful, young, friendly, and have good acting skills.

Although Cai Yinong may have ignored the last sentence, Liu Shishi has no problem with her personal image.

Wei Yang might have some doubts about Liu Shishi's acting skills, but to be honest, his acting skills were not that great. Besides, even if he had any objections, it was not his turn to make the decision.

As the screenwriter and the male lead, he may have a certain say in the plot and filming, but the decision on who will be the female lead will definitely be made by the producer Tangren.

Although the female supervisor could not do this, Wei Yang still had ideas about the plot and some other aspects. He actively spoke at the meeting and even had a hint of dominance.

Cai Yinong had already experienced how difficult Wei Yang was and also understood his abilities, so letting him do what he wanted was a bit like a test.

Director Lin Yufen had limited experience directing on her own before, and this time she had just taken over the position, so she was not very confident, so she was open to speaking and attached great importance to Wei Yang, the screenwriter and male lead.

Wei Yang is a man who will climb any ladder he is given, and he will not refuse such an opportunity to increase his own benefits.

However, Wei Yang's EQ is there, and although it is inevitable that he will be in the spotlight, he also knows how to behave and often asks Mr. Cai and Director Lin for their opinions.

In particular, he took special care of Lin Yufen's face to prevent the other party from thinking that he wanted to seize power.

But more importantly, many of the ideas and suggestions Wei Yang said are really of great benefit to "Twinkle Twinkle Star".

Maybe there was some selfish motive, but it was more about the overall situation, which was why Cai Yinong and Lin Yufen allowed Wei Yang to be affirmed.

And Wei Yang is not a fool who would work hard in vain.

This is his first drama as the male lead, and he wrote and performed the film himself. Both parties will prosper and suffer together. The better the drama "Twinkle, Twinkle Star" does, the more he will benefit. It would be strange if Wei Yang didn't try his best.

…

After the meeting, Wei Yang's voice was a little hoarse, but he still made an appointment with Lin Yufen to review some of the script tomorrow.

Liu Shishi sat there doing nothing for the whole day, but it wasn't completely without gain. At least she had a better understanding of the script and characters, and she also took a lot of notes.

Cai Yinong, who had left halfway, came over to express her sympathy after hearing the news: "Everyone has worked hard. I'll invite everyone to go downstairs for some coffee."

If it was Lao Zheng, he would arrange for everyone to have a foot massage to relieve fatigue...

Wei Yang once again lamented the gap between bosses and politely declined Cai Yinong's invitation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cai, I have an appointment tonight, so forget it today. I'll treat you next time."

After waving goodbye to everyone, Wei Yang went downstairs to get the car, and drove for about half an hour to a restaurant.

The parking space at the entrance was a bit crowded. Wei Yang spent a few minutes parking the car, asked the waiter about the private room, and knocked on the door to come in.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, we just arrived too."

Hu Ge, the host, stood up to greet them, but before he could start greeting them, the door of the box was knocked and pushed open, revealing Liu Shishi's pretty face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."
