...
After handing out the red envelopes, and with the deputy director’s introduction, Zhou Wang got to know the main members of the film crew.
When it came time to shake hands with the actors, both Chen He and Shen Yutong maintained a rather restrained demeanor, as if they weren’t that familiar with Zhou Wang.
Although everyone knew Chen He and Shen Yutong were actors recommended by Wuyou Media, some things still needed consideration regarding their impact and couldn’t be openly displayed. For Shen Yutong’s future prospects, Zhou Wang didn’t show any unusual behavior.
Though, anyone could tell from the way this girl looked at him that there was something amiss...
However, considering that Shen Yutong wasn’t the only one dazzled by Zhou Wang on the scene, no one found it odd.
Zhou Wang also noticed Shen Yurou standing behind Shen Yutong. She was too shy to greet him and instead, when they locked eyes for a brief moment, she looked away like a startled deer.
Zhou Wang didn’t actually have a preference for being a lecherous scoundrel, but he couldn’t help but feel a flutter in his heart at that moment...
After all, Shen Yurou was a standard mature woman, yet she still exhibited the coy charm of a young girl.
Adding to that was the scene in the Yue Center apartment, which lingered in his mind and refused to go away, quite annoyingly...
After exchanging pleasantries with the crew’s main creators, Ma Yuan took Zhou Wang for a tour of the set. Perhaps seeing Zhou Wang’s curiosity, he asked the deputy director to organize a scene to test.
While watching the actors put in a spirited performance, Zhou Wang remembered something and called over the deputy director.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any instructions?"
The deputy director’s attitude was scarily attentive.
People of different levels view things from entirely different perspectives.
Some actors might not be clear on the underlying essence, but this deputy director, who had a close relationship with Ma Yuan, could vaguely guess that Xu Youguang’s sudden resignation was not unrelated to the sunny and handsome young man in front of him...
"Does the role Shen Yutong plays have any intimate scenes?"
Upon hearing this, the deputy director momentarily paused, but didn’t probe why Zhou Wang was asking, instead, he quickly recalled.
A moment later, he said, "According to the script, there’s none. Our show is a grand female protagonist drama of the power struggle genre, although there are some emotional scenes, they are not the main storyline. The character Yue’er, played by Teacher Shen, only interacts a little with the fourth male lead, but it’s probably limited to actions like holding hands..."
"Remove it."
Zhou Wang said blandly, "Inform Director Huang when the time comes, I don’t want Shen Yutong to have any physical contact with males."
The deputy director was surprised by Zhou Wang’s bluntness. After regaining his composure, he nodded quickly, "Ah, sure, Mr. Zhou, don’t worry, I’ll personally have Director Huang control the script and inform him that it’s your directive."
Hearing this, Zhou Wang nodded satisfactorily, smiling he asked, "What’s your surname?"
"Please call me Gou, Mr. Zhou, my name is Gou Xianhai..."
The deputy director was flattered and quickly responded with a fawning smile.
"Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you."
Zhou Wang patted his shoulder before turning to leave.
...
After watching the scene trial, the inspection process was more or less complete.
Ma Yuan and Ruan Jingwei left together, as they needed to further discuss the cooperation details, aiming to sign a preliminary agreement before the official commencement.
There inevitably would be some compromises and conflicts within, however, Zhou Wang didn’t need to worry about them and let them handle it themselves.
Finally free, Zhou Wang, under the guidance of the deputy director, arrived at the top floor of the hotel.
This hotel perched on a hillside had reserved two of the best suites; one was for the female lead, Xia Xiwei, and the other was a spare, perfectly serving as accommodation for the likes of the investor representative, Zhou Wang, at this moment.
The suite had one master bedroom and two guest rooms, just ideal, with Miao Ying in one, the sisters Yun Rou and Yun Lan in another, and the master bedroom for Zhou Wang.
The deputy director wisely took his leave at the door, but Zhou Wang called him back and whispered an instruction. Understanding, the deputy director gestured and departed.
Zhou Wang led the three girls into the room, where they each settled in and rested, while Zhou Wang went to the master bedroom with the best view.
Admittedly, although the room wasn’t as luxurious as a presidential suite, from the perspective of relaxing the mind and body, it outclassed countless international five-star hotel suites...
Damn, it was gorgeous!
(Room Corner)
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views, and a large terrace with a built-in bathtub and small pool.
Below were rippling waves, with mountains in the distance; under the blue sky and white clouds, stretching lazily produced a sense of mental and physical openness.
At this moment, relaxed, Zhou Wang wasn’t thinking about anything, just sitting on the sofa in a daze was an extreme delight.
He didn’t know how long he had sat there, feeling as if he were about to doze off when finally there was some movement at the door.
Zhou Wang opened his eyes and turned his head to see Shen Yutong shyly walking in, pinching the hem of her skirt...
