Chapter 113 Shock, Bitterness

Southeast Tiger's masterpiece, "Starting from Joining Tencent Video," is available to read now!

Devil

When Chen Jingyuan and his group returned to the waterfront mansion, it was around 9 p.m.

The wrap party started early, so it naturally ended a little earlier.

The event ended before 6 p.m., and Chen Jingyuan and his group returned early.

"Sister Meng!"

When Chen Keke and the other person returned, they saw that Meng Ziyi still looked very happy.

Earlier in the car, Chen Jingyuan had mentioned Meng Ziyi's situation recently.

Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei were unaware that Meng Ziyi was being attacked online.

On set, people generally reduce their public attention and immerse themselves in their roles to focus on filming.

The two of them would at most glance at the class group chat, and paid relatively little attention to social media platforms like Weibo.

"Sister Meng is being attacked online?!"

Both Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei were quite surprised to hear this news.

They had all met Meng Ziyi and were considered to be of a more sincere type.

It seems they never expected to be attacked by the entire internet!

Having already explained things, Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei naturally avoided the topic.

The two of them were inevitably a little confused, but Sister Meng seemed quite happy and didn't seem to care about the online backlash.

In particular, the two felt that Meng Ziyi seemed to be somewhat different, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was different.

After Chen Keke and the other person returned, Meng Ziyi could only search for Chen Jingyuan with extreme caution.

The main reason is that Chen Jingyuan already has a girlfriend, and she can't be exposed now.

Meng Ziyi didn't want to be labeled a mistress by Chen Keke.

next day

Tian Xiwei woke up early again; she was getting used to the schedule on set.

In addition, I have a lot to do today. I need to ask for leave from school and then take a plane to Qingdao at 10:15 am.

There happens to be a flight from Shanghai to Beijing that will have a layover in Qingdao.

Last night, after discussing it with Chen Jingyuan, Chen Keke decided to send Tian Xiwei to the film set first.

The assistant will travel from Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport to Qingdao a day in advance.

Zhuji City is less than 80 kilometers from the airport, which takes just over an hour by car.

No need to send your assistant to Shanghai again!

"Huh!"

Tian Xiwei heard footsteps outside again, just like before.

This time, when she quietly opened the door, she clearly saw Sister Meng's figure.

Her face immediately showed a look of confusion. What was Sister Meng doing so early in the morning?

Tian Xiwei originally wanted to ask this while eating breakfast, but ultimately gave up.

Meng Ziyi's early rise was clearly a sign that she didn't want anyone to know.

Unable to come up with an answer immediately, she temporarily gave up thinking about it.

"I'll take you to the Shanghai Theatre Academy first."

"I'll be waiting for you outside the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"After taking leave, we went straight to the airport."

...

Chen Jingyuan earnestly explained to Chen Keke that it was only 8 a.m. and time was still a bit tight.

I'm worried that during peak hours, traffic jams will waste too much time.

Chen Keke and the others immediately got to work, except for Meng Ziyi, who didn't need to get up so early.

Rehearsals usually start at nine o'clock, and the instructors generally don't arrive until after ten o'clock.

In theory, arriving before 10 a.m. is fine, but in order to accompany her sister-in-law Meng Ziyi, she got up early to prepare to go to the Shanghai Theatre Academy together.

In less than twenty minutes, Chen Jingyuan and his group arrived at the Shanghai Theatre Academy campus.

After opening the car door, Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei jogged off to find their homeroom teacher, Liu Wanling.

When the two arrived at the office, they found that the class teacher was giving a lesson. Classes at the Shanghai Theatre Academy usually start at eight o'clock.

If they had arrived half an hour earlier, they probably would have run into Liu Wanling.

"Let's go to the classroom!"

Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei immediately realized what was happening and ran to the classroom of the first-year performing arts department.

When I rushed to the classroom, Liu Wanling was already teaching.

The students in the classroom were the first to spot Chen Keke and her companion, and they all looked quite surprised.

"Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei have returned from the film set."

"Chen Keke has already gained some fame."

"Is filming finished? You should be back in class by now."

...

Many students couldn't help but discuss it, since Chen Keke and her companion had been gone for three months.

It's impossible not to feel envious when most of the semester has passed.

"You guys are back from filming?!"

"Hurry back to class, there are still many lessons to catch up on."

Liu Wanling also noticed Chen Keke and the other person and couldn't help but speak up.

After she finished speaking, Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei both looked embarrassed.

They came to ask for leave, not to attend class.

"Professor, we're here to ask for another day off."

"Next, I'm going to attend the Tencent Video All Star Awards and some variety show appearances."

Chen Keke spoke first, her words tinged with apology.

"Mentor, I need to join the crew for special training before I can play the female lead in 'The Wandering Earth'."

Tian Xiwei followed behind Chen Keke with an apologetic expression.

The two men's words stunned Liu Wanling, who seemed not to have expected them to ask for leave again.

Compared to Liu Wanling, many of her classmates looked extremely shocked.

"The Tencent Video All Star Awards is the latest promotional event for Tencent Video."

"Those who can participate are all somewhat famous celebrities."

"This isn't a sci-fi film with a budget of 500 million yuan, yet they managed to cast a female lead in 'The Wandering Earth'?!"

...

Many students in the performing arts department do follow the news and are aware of the Tencent Video All Star Awards and "The Wandering Earth".

Tencent Video attaches great importance to this year's Tencent Video All Star Awards, and has invited many celebrities.

This included starting the promotion well in advance and getting many VIP members involved in the voting.

This move did indeed lead to an increase in Tencent Video's memberships.

As for "The Wandering Earth," it goes without saying that it had an investment of 500 million yuan.

Although the press conference for the start of filming has not yet been held, all sorts of rumors are already flying around.

Many performing arts students are struggling to cope, it's hard to even get any attention!

Previously, they did not think that the "Wandering Earth" project had anything to do with them.

I never imagined that my female classmate would be playing the lead role.

This is absolutely astonishing!

Many performing arts students aren't stupid; they can see that Chen Keke and her partner have incredible influence.

Even though they knew Chen Keke and others had powerful connections, they never expected that they would be able to secure the lead role in a 500 million yuan film.

It's really hard to believe!

Standing on the podium, Liu Wanling also came to her senses amidst the shock of the students' words.

In fact, Liu Wanling herself was also very shocked; she really hadn't expected it.

The two of them have an endless supply of resources, and the most crucial thing is the availability of large-scale resources.

It's the kind of thing that would make many people in the industry fight tooth and nail to get their hands on.

Of course, Liu Wanling wouldn't stop them; both Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei clearly have the potential to be stars.

This leave will naturally be approved!

Even the strict Central Academy of Drama wouldn't object to casting a female lead in a film with a budget of 500 million yuan.

Not to mention the relatively tolerant environment of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, where it would be best if students could become famous.

"I've approved your leave requests!"

"But Oda, you probably won't be able to come back for your final exams."

"You need to take a make-up exam next semester."

...

Liu Wanling didn't forget to mention something!

"Professor, it's hard to say exactly when I'll be able to come back next semester."

"I will definitely retake the exam when I get back."

Tian Xiwei spoke up without hesitation.

Compared to the female lead in "The Wandering Earth," taking a retake exam is nothing.

"I will communicate with the school to postpone your make-up exam."

Liu Wanling spoke up, saying, "This is not without precedent!"

Some performing arts students did miss their final exams due to filming, but the make-up exams can be postponed.

The school doesn't want its students to miss out on opportunities, as opportunities are still very important in the entertainment industry.

If Tian Xiwei misses this opportunity to play the female lead in a 500 million yuan sci-fi film, she doesn't know when she'll get another chance like this.

"Thank you, mentor!"

Tian Xiwei said with gratitude, "My mentor's words are very helpful."

The two didn't linger and left after taking leave, which made Chen Keke feel a little regretful.

She couldn't find where Xu Hui was sitting, otherwise she really wanted to see her arch-rival's expression.

Many classmates watched the two leave, and couldn't help but feel a little bittersweet.

There was some jealousy, more or less.

This is roughly what it feels like to be someone else's freshman year compared to your own.

As for Xu Hui, whom Chen Keke keeps mentioning, she actually secretly hides herself using books.

"Focus on your studies, you'll all have your chance in the future."

Liu Wanling turned her head and saw many absent-minded figures, so she couldn't help but speak up.

However, these words were more or less encouraging, and the students were not fools.

Even getting a supporting role isn't easy, let alone the lead or female lead.

It's still a very difficult thing!
