"So Lovely Us"

"Don't worry about that." Li Han smiled and gently stroked Tian Xiwei's face with the back of his hand.

"Tomorrow, take a good look at the script, then go to the gym for a run and lose some weight..."

"Are you even human?" Tian Xiwei wrinkled her nose at Li Han, clearly displeased.

"I just lost my virginity tonight, and you expect me to go to the gym to run and lose weight tomorrow?" You might as well just kill me.

"Uh, hahaha." Li Han couldn't help but laugh, lowering his head to rub Tian Xiwei's soft, smooth face with a doting gesture, as if he were hugging a super-sized Maine Coon cat.

"Hmph." Tian Xiwei gave a soft hum, resting her head against Li Han's chest.

"Is it just my imagination? Why does something feel off? I feel like..." Li Han muttered to himself as he looked at his brother.

...The next day, in the Shanghai Theatre Academy office.

Luo Ren, female, is a student in the Directing Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy, class of 02. After graduation, she participated in the production and filming of many stage plays. Later, she obtained a master's degree and stayed at the school as a teacher. Now she is also the class teacher of Li Han and his classmates.

Luo Ren looked at the script in her hand, flipped through it, and then looked up at Li Han in front of her.

"When you made Xiaotian an internet celebrity before, I thought you were just lucky. I even called Xiaotian over and advised her to focus on her studies. I didn't expect you to be so talented, Li Han."

This story is a group portrait of people living in a compound, featuring childhood sweethearts and heartwarming neighborhood scenes, and it has a similar feel to the Korean drama "Reply 1988".

It may not be a perfect masterpiece, but it is the drama that is closest to young people—ordinary, warm, full of laughter and tears, regrets and beauty.

In short, this show is perfect for people who want to relive old times, eat sweets, and feel healed.

In youth dramas, she's considered a healing, unattainable ideal woman.

"Teacher Luo, I used to write novels, so I have some experience in this area," Li Han said modestly.

"Hmm... there's no problem with the script, but there's the funding issue." Luo Ren looked at Li Han.

Even with the lowest production costs, a TV series still needs to have a production cost of at least one or two million.

Moreover, Li Han is just a student, so he can't possibly attract investment, and the school is even less likely to invest. What they can provide is venues, actors, and acting coaching.

"You don't need to worry about the funding," Li Han said with a slight smile.

This is Li Han's first drama, and also Tian Xiwei's first drama, so he plans to direct and star in it himself.

However, directing and acting in his own films would be very busy, so he would need to find an assistant director to help him.

As for the assistant director, the person he chose was the original director of the historical drama – Cat Tree, whose real name is Yuan Shuang.

"If there are no problems with funding, then other aspects are not a big problem." Luo Ren put down the script and smiled slightly.

"As for the actors, I think you probably already have someone in mind, right?"

"Yes, teacher, I already have people in mind for the lead and second lead roles," Li Han nodded and said.

"I'll be directing and starring in this series, but I need to find an assistant director to help me..."

"Sure, no problem. I'll ask the directing department later and have them arrange a few senior students for you." Luo Ren brushed the tea leaves off the table, clasped his hands together, and smiled.

She felt proud to have such successful students, and she could even boast about it during meetings.

"Teacher, I've already chosen the assistant director, but I'd also be very happy if senior students could come and help out," Li Han quickly said.

"Oh, who's the assistant director?" Luo Ren asked curiously.

"Cat Tree, whose real name is Yuan Shuang," Li Han said.

At this time, Mao De Shu should have just finished directing the drama "My Love From the Star". The male and female leads of this drama later became very famous, namely Song Weilong and Zhou Yutong.

After Li Han finished talking with Luo Ren, he prepared to contact Cat Tree, and it was very simple for him to do so.

Cat Tree is a director under Huanyu Entertainment, one of the founders of which is Yu Zheng. Li Yitong was promoted by Yu Zheng, who once tried to sign her, but was unsuccessful.

"Good, it's good that you have a plan in mind." Luo Ren nodded.

"Teacher, I have another idea," Li Han said.

"My drama is missing a producer, and I would like to ask you to be the producer of my drama."

"Me?" Luo Ren smiled and pointed to himself, then shook his head.

"I still have to teach classes, and I'm not qualified enough, so forget about being a producer..."

Li Han could only nod upon hearing this.

"However, I can recommend him to my teacher, Rouen."

Lu Ang, a graduate of the Directing Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy in 85, is now the Dean of Students in the Directing Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"That's great, teacher." Li Han was very happy to hear this.

After leaving the office, Li Han immediately called Tian Xiwei.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei was lying on the bed reading the script. She was wearing a casual short-sleeved shirt and shorts, revealing her fair arms and bare, white feet.

"This guy, how did he write it? It's actually pretty good." Tian Xiwei muttered to herself as she read it.

The phone rang, and Tian Xiwei turned her head to see that it was Li Han. Then she reached out and picked up the phone to answer it.

Over the phone, Li Han told Tian Xiwei what had just happened.

After hanging up the phone, Li Han found Li Yitong's number and called her.

In Jinan, Li Yitong was at home watching TV. She hadn't been working much lately, so she went home to visit her parents. At that moment, her parents were at work, leaving her alone at home. She was watching TV with nothing to do.

She had her hair down, wore a pink nightgown, and had a pair of black glasses on her fair face. She rested her chin on her hand, looking every bit the sophisticated older sister.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and Li Yitong turned her head and reached out to pick it up.

"Hanzi?"

"Hey, bro?" Li Yitong answered the phone and slowly sat up.

"Sister..." Li Han said on the other end of the phone.

"Why are you calling me? Need some pocket money?" Li Yitong asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

"Tch, sis, your little brother isn't short of money now." Li Han chuckled. Unbeknownst to him, he had become a multi-millionaire. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been financially independent long ago.

"I have something important to tell you." Li Han then told Li Yitong about the matter concerning "So Cute Us".

He had two things to say: first, he hoped his older sister could play the second female lead in the drama; second, he hoped his older sister could help him contact Yu Zheng, as he wanted to find a director under Yu Zheng's company, Mao De Shu, to serve as the assistant director, and Li Han to play the male lead in the drama.

"..." After listening to Li Han's words, Li Yitong was a little confused. What? You're going to make a movie? And you're going to invest in it yourself?

"Little brother, you're not joking, are you?" Li Yitong's fair forehead furrowed slightly.
