She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1060 - 888: Super Star 62 (First Release)
Hua Yan spent three days reading the script three times, and only then did she call Liang An. ๐ง๐๐๐๐คโฏ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฃโฏ๐ญ.๐คโด๐ฎ
After asking a few questions about the plot and getting satisfactory answers from Liang An, she finally decided on the script.
"Letโs settle it, then. When does shooting begin?"
"Weโll choose the cast by the end of this year, finalize the schedule, and sort out the costume photos. If all goes well, we should start shooting after the New Year and finish around summer vacation. Is there a role you want to play?"
Cameos, huh? To be honest, she was interested in one role: "Princess Xi Yao. This supporting female character is both harsh and malicious, yet she looks innocent. Without her meddling between the male and female leads, the heroine wouldnโt have suffered so much. I think itโs a very challenging role. Plus, sheโs talented and a formidable obstacle, so Iโd like to take it on. My age fits as well."
"I thought you might choose to play the female leadโs childhood,"
Hua Yan shook her head, "Iโm older now. If I were ten years old, I might have chosen that, but now Iโm sixteen or seventeen, thereโs no need."
"Alright, but will your funding be in place before the end of the year?"
Hua Yan thought of the money sheโd been saving in a one-year term and immediately assured him there was no issue, which put Liang An at ease.
"Are you short on cash? How about I wire you the money now?"
Liang An chuckled, "I havenโt told you this yet, but I won five million in the lottery! Haha, I saw Xiao Gao buying a ticket, so I bought one too, and I actually won five million! Donโt you think my luck is over the top? Now Iโm confident our first movie will be a huge success!"
Hua Yan was stunned; could this really happen?
Speaking of the lottery, she realized sheโd never bought a ticket before, not because she didnโt believe in it, but because she thought her luck wasnโt that great.
But Liang An hitting five million really was like stepping into dog poo; otherwise, he would have had to sell everything he owned to invest in the movie, and there would have been no chance of breaking even before it even premiered. But with five million coming in at this time, even after taxes, it would be enough to keep him going until the yearโs end.
"Since you chose Princess Xi Yao, I bet Ling Yao will choose the role of the Nanyang Prince Heir."
Hua Yan twitched her lips, "Uncle, I donโt want to be tied to him anymore. If we keep playing opposite each other, the audience will get aesthetic fatigue."
"This time itโs different. In โYouth Diary,โ you were a loving pair, but in โHeiress Strategy,โ you torment the male and female leads, and he comes to torment you. He likes the female lead, and for her, he drives you crazy. Youโre not a couple, even though you marry him and become the Nanyang Prince Heir."
"Even so, Ling Yao might not agree!"
"Heโll definitely pick this role, just wait and see!"
Sure enough, within two hours, she received a WeChat message from Ling Yao: "The Nanyang Prince Heir Yi Shuihan is mine."
Hua Yan stared at this WeChat message for a while, gritting her teeth, but in the end, she couldnโt say anything and decided to ignore it.
By the end of September 2016, her Weibo [Miss Yanโs Self-reliance Life] had amassed over a million followers since opening in 2010, thanks to outreach under the pen name [Miss Yan Proper]. Coincidentally, during this time, a short video platform went live, and she took the opportunity to open an account on the video app named [Miss Yan Proper].
Of course, just opening an account isnโt enough; you have to create videos. All her followers were interested in seeing her true self.
However, Hua Yan was not going to show her face unless one day she became famous and had no other choice but to reveal herself.
The newly opened account only had fifteen seconds. Unless her followers reached thirty thousand and likes exceeded 250,000, she wouldnโt qualify for a 59-second beta test.
For the first fifteen-second video, she chose to make food content, because after all, the followers of [Miss Yanโs Self-reliance Life] were initially drawn to her cooking and travel blog, so she made a fifteen-second short video on how to cook a dish.
This was her direction in making short videos. By Friday night, with nothing better to do, she wore a light, concealing mask and put on yoga clothes. She found a spot in her living room convenient for filming and held a beginnerโs yoga class.
Two days after her account launched, she gained one thousand followers, suggesting that the video app wasnโt quite as popular as rumored at the time.
Even though she had informed everyone on Weibo and in her novels to come watch her yoga live stream at eight on Friday night.
