Chapter 33
Li Yitong... has arrived.
"I'm not kidding, sis, where are you right now?" Li Han asked.
"Our home," Li Yitong said casually.
"Also, even the lowest budget for making a TV series costs several million. Where did you get so much money?"
She knew that Li Han had rented a house in Shanghai, but renting a house doesn't cost much. Filming a drama, even a low-budget web series, would cost several million.
"I earned it myself," Li Han said.
"How did you earn it?" Li Yitong asked immediately.
"Stock trading," Li Han said.
"..." Li Yitong remained silent. You have this ability?
"Sis, I'm serious. You should talk to your agent," Li Han said.
Li Yitong's agent is Xu Yiruo. At this time, both of them are with Feibao Media. Xu Yiruo has not yet gone solo.
"Okay... send me the script first, I'll take a look," Li Yitong said after thinking for a moment. At this moment, she was also a little excited and couldn't imagine what it was like.
Li Han, that brat, actually has this ability? He even assembled his own film crew.
"Sure, no problem," Li Han immediately replied, and then sent the script of "So Lovely Us" to Li Yitong.
After a quick glance, Li Yitong immediately contacted her agent, Xu Yiruo.
Xu Yiruo knew that Li Yitong had a younger brother. She was very surprised when she learned that Li Yitong's brother had put together a drama and even invited her to play the second female lead. Xu Yiruo directly said, "Why don't you ask your brother to give you the role of the female lead?"
However, Li Yitong stated that Li Han is the male lead, and the two cannot play a couple.
Xu Yiruo was quite disappointed about this, but after reading the script, she thought the drama was pretty good. Not to mention that this was Li Han's first drama, and Li Yitong insisted that she should definitely participate.
The two then settled the matter, but before that, Xu Yiruo wanted to go to Shanghai with Li Yitong so she could talk to Li Han in person.
After finishing her conversation with Xu Yiruo, Li Yitong called Li Han again to say something.
"Sis, are you coming with your agent tomorrow?" Li Han asked.
"Well, I'll contact Mr. Yu Zheng later, it shouldn't be a problem," Li Yitong said on the other end of the phone, then smiled mischievously with narrowed eyes.
"Perfect timing, let's take a look at your current live-in partner, who is also your leading lady..."
"Uh." Li Han gave a wry smile and touched his nose.
He could already picture the scene when the two of them met.
Li Yitong: Little brother, who is this person?
Li Han: Just... an ordinary round-faced girl.
No, it shouldn't be like this, it should be like this...
Li Yitong: Hanzi, don't blame me for being blunt. It's because you're young and inexperienced, do you understand?
Li Han remained silent and simply nodded.
Li Yitong: Hanzi, listen to your sister's advice. Tian Xiwei is too watery, you can't handle her... Let me handle her, I can handle her.
Li Han: ...
Soon after, Li Yitong called. Yu Zheng had also read the script and thought it was very good. Director Cat Tree agreed to serve as his assistant director to help him with the filming.
The next step is to purchase the crew members and props.
In the afternoon, Li Han returned to his apartment.
At this moment, Tian Xiwei was lying lazily on the sofa reading the script. When she saw Li Han return, she smiled slightly.
"You're back! What delicious food did you buy?"
"I didn't buy any good food, but I do have some good news." Li Han smiled.
"About that drama?" Tian Xiwei blinked upon hearing this.
"Yes, I had my sister come to play the second female lead. By the way, didn't you answer her call that day?" Li Han said with a smile.
Tian Xiwei was taken aback upon hearing this, and then instantly became a little nervous.
"Your name is Li, Li Yitong, right?" Li Han had told her this name before.
"Yes." Li Han smiled as he looked at Tian Xiwei's adorable appearance.
"Don't be nervous, my sister won't eat people."
"Hmph." Tian Xiwei snorted and pouted, then lowered her head to continue reading the script.
"I'll have to go to the secondhand market to check out the props tomorrow," Li Han said, letting out a breath.
"When is your sister coming?" Tian Xiwei asked curiously.
"Tomorrow," Li Han said.
"Tomorrow..." Tian Xiwei frowned slightly, thinking, "That's too fast."
Li Han smiled as he looked at Tian Xiwei's fair and tender face, then stepped forward and gently lay down on her lap, resting his head on it, feeling Tian Xiwei's smooth and elastic thighs.
Seeing this, Tian Xiwei blinked, looked down at Li Han, raised one chubby little hand and gently placed it on Li Han's head, while holding the script in her other hand and continuing to read it.
Neither of them spoke; the only sound was the rustling of Tian Xiwei turning the pages of the script.
Li Han closed his eyes and thought about one thing: Tong Xinwei.
Among the many different couples in their past lives, Tong Xinwei was definitely a super popular couple, but it's really unlikely that they would actually make a female-female idol drama together.
However, even with the slightest hints added to the plot, viewers would absolutely not notice anything amiss.
Li Han plans to add a little something extra during the filming.
The next day, Li Han and Tian Xiwei went to school together.
At school, Professor Luo Ren took Li Han to meet Lu Ang, the dean of the directing department. Lu Ang, who was nearly fifty years old, praised Li Han when he saw him and said that he would be the producer of the drama and that the school would also provide Li Han with assistance.
First, the filming crew consisted mainly of alumni from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, some of whom already had prior experience working on film sets.
Regarding equipment, the school provided some, and he also rented some equipment from the second-hand market.
The school scenes were filmed directly at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. As a school leader, Lu Ang didn't need any approval; he just needed to give a heads-up.
The extras were all students from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
As for the main cast, the male lead Tan Song is played by Li Han, and the female lead Huang Chengzi is played by Tian Xiwei.
The second female lead is Li Yitong, and the second male lead is Fang Yangfei, Li Han's roommate.
Other roles were played by teachers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Although they are now teachers, their acting skills are definitely no worse than those of veteran artists in the industry.
At noon that day, while Li Han and Tian Xiwei were eating in the cafeteria, he received a phone call from Li Yitong.
"Hello, sis." Li Han answered the phone.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei, who was sitting opposite him, looked up at Li Han and pursed her lips.
"Little brother, I've arrived in Shanghai and am on my way to the Shanghai Theatre Academy," Li Yitong said with a laugh over the phone.
Upon hearing this, Li Han blinked and looked up at Tian Xiwei, who was standing in front of him with a blank expression.
Li Yitong... has arrived.
