She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1033 - 876: Super Star 50 (4000)_2

Liang An is not the chief director; this time he’s appearing in the role of the producer. Ling Yao is inherently part of the circle; everyone around Liang An knows this. Even the male and female leads know that Ling Yao’s situation is different now, merely returning for a cameo. So, despite his previous fame, there’s no pressure for the two of them. As for Hua Yan, she hasn’t spoken about her relationship with Liang An publicly, so everyone treats her as a complete newcomer. After all, she’s only 15, still really young, basically just a child. No one takes this film too seriously, after all, the total investment is only a few million; there are countless such youth art films.

Liang An invested in it because he wants to release it during the summer holiday, to indulge in some nostalgia. He doesn’t seek a high profit, just hopes for something stable, allowing the company’s actors to have room to perform. The male and female leads are people he wants to cultivate. The second male and female leads are his own people, and the third male and female leads along with other actors are all those whom the company wants to promote. You could say, 80% of the people in this production are from Xinghuo Company; it’s all their own people in the crew, how could the atmosphere not be good?

However, ten days is still too rushed; he and Hua Yan’s scenes haven’t been finished. But with school starting soon, Liang An plans to let them return to school first; it’s bound to be busy when school first opens.

"Weekend, can you come over for the two weekend days? Try to finish filming this play by Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Luckily, the campus scenes have been completed; next are the scenes entering society. They will be shot in the city later on, no need for you to travel back and forth."

The two have no objections to this; no one is delaying their studies, so why refuse? Not earning money is foolish behavior, right?

Moreover, Liang An’s mindset is particularly good now. He isn’t seeking overnight success but wants steady development. They can’t afford big productions, so they’ll make low-budget ones. Who can deny that youth films don’t have a market? What if they become a big hit? And looking at Hua Yan as a writer, the script for this drama is quite thoughtful, showing that Liang An has put considerable effort into everything—from script selection to casting. Therefore, even if it doesn’t become a hit, it certainly won’t end in a dismal failure.

After returning to Beijing, Hua Yan directly packed the sausages from space for Ling Yao to take to school, "It’s early for you to go back to school now, isn’t it?"

"No worries, there are plenty of people who come early to Huaqing. If I go early, I can get into the state sooner. If that’s the case, I won’t accompany you back; you’ll be okay by yourself, right?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"No worries, I’ll be careful. Going home is just to see Ning Hao; the kid’s already back, I’ll say hi to him. I’ll head to school early tomorrow. If I need anything, I’ll call you."

After the two separated, Hua Yan returned to Oak Bay. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the entrance of their apartment, someone grabbed her arm from behind.

"I’ve waited long enough for you, didn’t expect after years without seeing each other, my daughter would turn out to be so beautiful. Hua Yan, do you recognize your father?"

After entering the community, Hua Yan was extraordinarily cautious, eyes scanning her surroundings all the way. She didn’t expect to miss a step and got caught by this person.

Hua Yan wore a white high-neck long sweater, a warm goose-yellow down vest, black velvet pants, snow boots, and a black knitted hat. She looked lively and cute. Even though she wasn’t wearing makeup, she was still eye-catching walking on the street. On the way back to Beijing with Ling Yao, they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, catching many stares.

Who knew, after so many years, her deadbeat dad could still recognize her at a glance.

Hua Yan turned around and looked up at him. Hua Guoqiang still wore a baseball cap; she suspected it wasn’t out of choice but because of his typical prison haircut, forcing him to wear it. Due to his tall stature, he wore a long black down coat, expensive black sneakers on his feet; this outfit looked youthful. But, for someone already over forty, who had spent years in prison, he only visually appeared young. In fact, he looked much older than a few years ago, especially with the obvious wrinkles under his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You don’t recognize me? I’m your dad!"

Hua Guoqiang’s voice carried a hint of excitement; his gaze at Hua Yan was filled with ’affection.’

Unfortunately, her gaze towards him was full of indifference: "I don’t have a dad; my dad is the murderer who hurt my mom and has been arrested by the police."
