Chapter 71

, "Youcun," is absolutely amazing!

"Hello Director Zhang, I am Li Han." Li Han stepped forward, extended his hand to Zhang Yimou, and greeted him with the humility of a junior.

"Hello, Xiao Li." Zhang Yi smiled and extended his hand.

"You can just call me Xiaohan... Hello Ms. Zhang Mo." Li Han then greeted Zhang Mo again and extended her hand.

"Just call me Sister Mo." Zhang Mo smiled and extended her hand.

"Okay, Sister Mo." Li Han smiled, then turned to look at Liu Haocun.

"And this is...?"

"Oh, Liu Haocun." Zhang Yi pointed at Liu Haocun and said, "I have a movie called 'One Second,' and Haocun is the lead actress."

"Hello, Teacher Li Han." Liu Haocun politely extended his hand, a smile on his face, his eyes crinkling as he looked incredibly cute.

"Hello Haocun, we're about the same age, you can just call me by my name," Li Han said with a smile.

At this time, Liu Haocun could only be described as incredibly youthful. Her face still had a bit of baby fat, making her look incredibly young. She was wearing a white sweatshirt, had her hair tied in a ponytail, and wore jeans, exuding a pure and innocent charm.

Yucun is absolutely top-notch!

Upon hearing Li Han's words, Liu Haocun simply smiled but did not say anything.

"By the way, Haocun has been watching your drama, Xiaohan, a lot lately, and he's been watching the edited videos a lot too," Zhang Mo said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Han looked at Liu Haocun with some surprise. Was that so?

"Yeah, I've been watching it lately." Liu Haocun smiled a little shyly at Li Han, her fair and chubby face slightly flushed, looking every bit the sweetest girl, especially with her voice as sweet as honey.

With that appearance, who would believe he's from Northeast China?

"So, does Haocun prefer 'Tongxinweimin' or 'Qingweikuhan'?" Li Han couldn't help but tease Liu Haocun.

"Hmm... I like them all." Liu Haocun said with a smile, using the classic "hmm" as a starting point for his speech.

Looking at Liu Haocun, Li Han couldn't help but smile.

Afterwards, Li Han and the others began to talk about the script for "Cliff Walkers".

"Xiao Han, I think this notebook is pretty good. I was able to discover such a good notebook thanks to Cheng Wu," Zhang Yi said.

"I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights to your script."

Upon hearing Zhang Yi's words, Cheng Wu turned to look at Li Han.

Li Han pondered for a few seconds and then said, "Director Zhang, I think since President Cheng is here, Tencent will definitely invest in and participate in the production of this movie. I am currently cooperating with Tencent Video, and the cooperation is going very well... So, if you like this script, feel free to take it and make it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi blinked. Cheng Wu was quite pleased. Zhang Yi said he wanted to buy the copyright, but he certainly wouldn't be the one paying for it; it would be Tencent Pictures.

Zhang Yi looked at Li Han, anticipating what he would say next. In the entertainment industry, interests and resources are paramount. Li Han's willingness to forgo the money for the adaptation must indicate he has ulterior motives.

"However..." Sure enough, Li Han changed the subject.

Zhang Yi and the others were all looking at Li Han.

"After all, I'm new to this industry, and I grew up watching Director Zhang's movies. If possible, I hope to play a role in one of them... Also, I'd like to get involved in film investment."



"A role?" Zhang Yi wondered to himself.

"Investing in movies?" Cheng Wu wondered to himself.

The two hold different positions, so naturally they have different considerations.

"So, Xiaohan, which role do you like?" Zhang Yi asked, having only skimmed the script.

"This is the character Chu Liang in the script," Li Han said.

"Oh?" Zhang Yi smiled; he remembered some of the character's plot points.

This character is the second male lead, and it's estimated that Li Han put a lot of emphasis on him in the plot when designing this character.

"Hmm, that's not a problem," Zhang Yi said with a smile, then looked at Liu Haocun standing to the side.

"Speaking of which, when I was reading the script and saw the character Xiaolan, the person who came to mind was none other than Haocun."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Han turned his head and glanced at Liu Haocun, who smiled at him.

In his past life, Liu Haocun was indeed the actor who played Xiao Lan, and he and the character he was going to play were a couple... otherwise, why would he play this role?

"Hmm, that's true." Li Han's eyes lit up as he turned to look at Zhang Yi.

"Director Zhang, you know what, Hao Cun really looks like the Xiao Lan I had in mind when I was writing this script."

"Hahaha." Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

And so, the script for "Cliff Walkers" was finalized during their conversation.

At this time, Li Han only has Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye as his artists. He does want to sign Liu Haocun's TV series contract with him, but he is not powerful enough right now, and if he talks to Zhang Yimou about it, Zhang Yimou will definitely not agree.

The group chatted and ate, with Liu Haocun occasionally chiming in. When he couldn't join the conversation, he would sit quietly to the side with a smile on his face, never looking at his phone.

"Director Zhang, I'm a little curious," Li Han suddenly said, glancing at Liu Haocun again.

"Haocun...is she considered a 'Zhang Yimou Girl' now?" Fueled by alcohol, the group spoke more casually.

Liu Haocun paused in his drinking of juice, raised his eyebrows, and blinked at Li Han.

"Haha, Xiaohan, among the candidates for the female lead in 'One Second,' Haocun is my favorite. I'm not exaggerating, Haocun has a kind of spirituality like Zhang Ziyi, and she is really talented in acting. You can't help but admire her." Zhang Yimou couldn't help but slur his words a little when he spoke.

"Really?" Li Han turned his head and glanced at Liu Haocun.

"Hao-Cun, will you continue acting in movies in the future, or will you pursue both film and television careers?"

"Ah, this..." Liu Haocun blinked and looked at Li Han, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yimou.

She definitely wants to keep acting in movies and become a movie star; that's such a high-class thing.

"As for Haocun, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will definitely stay in the film industry for the rest of his life," Zhang Yimou nodded and said.

Li Han laughed upon hearing this. "As expected, right? Well, an unexpected thing really did happen in the future."

"Director Zhang." Li Han looked at Zhang Yimou.

"If I remember correctly, Zhou Dongyu has started filming dramas too, right? I want to tell you something very honest: the Chinese film market is booming right now, but with the rise of web dramas, the future of the domestic entertainment industry will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be dominated by idol drama actors."
