"Phew... Thank you, Director Qin."
Zhang Xiaobo shook Qin Wen’s hand, then left the office, clutching the script for *Mountain and Sea Love*.
In the entire series, the only thing that was absolutely non-negotiable was that the female lead would be played by Gu Pan.
The casting decisions for all other roles were in his hands.
The directing department also occupied an entire floor.
As one of only two currently signed directors, Zhang Xiaobo also had his own office.
Just as he was carefully studying the script, his phone began to ring nonstop.
This moment was proof that there are no secrets in Chinese Entertainment.
A blockbuster series self-produced by Universal Entertainment with an investment budget as high as 500 million.
It was an absolute S-tier+ project, enough to make any actor’s heart race.
As the director of this series with casting authority, Zhang Xiaobo became a hot commodity.
Practically all of the "Great Tang Poet Immortals" called.
They wanted to feel him out, to see if they could get a chance to play the female lead.
Zhang Xiaobo curled his lip silently. ’These starlets really have some nerve. Our own company is investing so much, and they expect us to use it to promote outsiders like them?’
If Gu Pan were a bad actress, he would have gladly played the part of an honest critic and put in a good word for them.
But what about Gu Pan’s acting versus their caliber?
It was no exaggeration to say that the Great Tang Poet Immortals were certainly famous enough.
But as for their acting? They weren’t even worthy of carrying Gu Pan’s shoes.
...
During this time, Zhu Min and Qi Zhizhong were all smiles every single day.
Their daughters-in-law were all beautiful and sensible, and they also had a sweet-talking granddaughter who was an expert at acting cute.
When it was time for Qi Sheng and the others to leave, the old couple was quite reluctant to see them go.
"Grandpa, Grandma, if you miss Guoguo, remember to video call me!"
Tang Guo was bundled up tightly, but her fair little face and big, sparkling eyes were exceptionally endearing.
"Alright. When Grandpa and Grandma have time, we’ll come visit you."
Zhu Min was also very fond of this little girl.
She was sensible and well-behaved, never fussy or throwing tantrums, which was incredibly endearing.
"We’ll get going then. Whenever you want to go to Chengdu, I’ll have the plane come pick you up."
Qi Sheng glanced at the time and gave his mom and dad each a hug.
"Your dad and I can just buy our own tickets. Sending a plane back and forth is such a waste of money!"
Zhu Min shot Qi Sheng a look. It was true that her brat of a son knew how to make money.
But this habit of not treating money as a big deal... she had no idea who he got it from.
"The cost of the flight is less than what your son makes in a few minutes."
Qi Sheng wasn’t just bragging.
Just from the system’s rewards, he earned 200,000 every minute.
