, "Nine Layers of Purple," about Xiao Dou Zhao.

Chapter 87, "Ninefold Purple," about Xiao Dou Zhao.

The two people flanked Li Yitong, who smiled with her eyes narrowed, talking to them like an older sister.

Li Han walked over, looked at his older sister, and smiled.

"You've come at just the right time. I'm about to film a kissing scene with Oda, and you just happened to show up—what are you doing here, supervisor?"

Li Yitong looked at Li Han with amusement, while Tian Xiwei rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

"I'm almost done filming on my end, so I came to visit you," Li Yitong said with a smile.

"Oh." Li Han nodded with a smile.

"Are you nervous about filming a kissing scene?" Li Yitong teased Li Han.

"Heh, don't make me laugh." Li Han couldn't help but burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"This isn't my first time filming a kissing scene, why am I nervous? What? Are you planning to set a bad example for me?"

"Don't talk nonsense again." Tian Xiwei glared at him, thinking, "What nonsense are you spouting all day long?"

Li Yitong didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Zhou, standing to the side, glanced at Tong Xinwei and Min. These two are just creating a CP (couple pairing), right? — Is that right?

Soon, Li Han and Tian Xiwei's kissing scene will be filmed.

The two, dressed in magnificent ancient costumes and with exquisite makeup, stood facing each other, their eyes locked on one another.

Tian Xiwei had long, black hair that reached her waist, and wore a strapless dress that revealed her slender and sexy neck and collarbone. Her fair and tender face had a pair of big eyes staring straight at Li Han.

At the assistant director's command, Li Han lowered his head, gently put his arm around Tian Xiwei, and then silenced her with a kiss.

Tian Xiwei then hugged Li Han back, craning her little head upwards.

Seeing the two so intimate, Li Yitong, who was watching, pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile. She then picked up her phone and started recording the two of them.

Zhou looked at Li Yitong with a puzzled expression. "Sister Tong, what are you doing? Are you shipping your own brother?"

The younger brother ships his older sister's ship, and the older sister ships her younger brother's ship? The key point is that their shippers are the same person. Is this... right?

Zhou looked at Tian Xiwei, who was being hugged and kissed by Li Han, and suddenly felt a little sorry for her. Wasn't she being a bit too busy?

Li Yitong didn't stay long; she left after a short while.

A few days later, "Qingqing's Daily Life" welcomed Sun Zhonghuai, the CEO of Tencent Video, who was also the producer of the show.

After Sun Zhonghuai arrived, he brought some food and drinks to comfort everyone, and then chatted with Li Han. He had come to take Li Han back with him.

Casting for "Nine Layers of Purple" is about to begin.

"Casting?" Li Han blinked, then turned to his assistant and said, "Go and call Zhou over."

"Yes." The assistant turned and left.

"Mr. Sun, as you saw just now, Mr. Zhou, I'm planning to have her play the second female lead," Li Han said.

"Zhou? It's not impossible." Sun Zhonghuai didn't say anything more.

Zhou arrived quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Sun." She greeted Sun Zhonghuai politely.

"Zhou." Sun Zhonghuai nodded at Zhou.

"Teacher Li Han said that they intend for you to play the second female lead in the drama 'Nine Layers of Purple' —"

Zhou Wenyan glanced at Li Han. She knew about this, and she also knew that the female lead of this drama was Sister Meng.

Sun Zhonghuai gave Zhou some encouragement, and Zhou humbly replied that it was all thanks to Li Han's guidance. Afterwards, Li Han let him leave.

"Please make some adjustments to the production team and clear a few days' schedule. You can go back to Beijing in a few days. This drama revolves around you, and you can't miss the casting process," Sun Zhonghuai said.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, there's one more thing." Li Han nodded and said.

"The other roles are fine, they're all adults. There's a role called Xiao Dou Zhao in the script, and the actor for this role can't be too old. Are there any suitable child actors in the industry right now?"

"I know that too. There aren't any particularly suitable actors in the industry right now. Some of the younger actors either don't have the time or their appearance and temperament aren't suitable," Sun Zhonghuai said.

"I've already posted a notice online recruiting child actors, and quite a few people have already applied. We'll discuss it together after the deadline."

Li Han nodded. "Are they all teenage girls?"

"Yes, their ages are mostly between 11 and 16 years old," Sun Zhonghuai said.

The two then discussed the issue of "Ninefold Purple".

At this moment, Tian Xiwei was sitting and talking with Zhou, and there were two actresses, Liu Meihan and Chen Xiaoyun, next to them.

Li Han arrived at this moment.

"What are you ladies talking about?" He smiled as he looked at the four actresses, each with her own unique beauty; they were truly a feast for the eyes.

"Director Li, are you going back to Beijing in a few days?" Liu Meihan asked curiously.

"Yes, I have to go back to Beijing in a few days." Li Han nodded with a smile, without saying anything more to her.

Tian Xiwei glanced at Li Han, then curled her lip. "Ninefold Purple," Meng Ziyi, tch—

Two days later, in the evening, Li Han was in his room, looking at the list sent to him by Tencent Video on his laptop.

Before the deadline, a total of 3261 people had applied for the role of Xiao Dou Zhao, but despite the age limit, there were still quite a few people who were too young or too old to apply.

After filtering out those who were not suitable for age, a bunch of people who were not suitable for appearance and body type were also filtered out, leaving 217 people.

However, it's impossible to call all 217 people in for interviews; further screening is necessary.

Tonight, Li Han will have a meeting with a group of Tencent executives to discuss the remaining two hundred-plus people.

Li Han wore headphones, listened to the other people's discussions, and clicked on the personal information to see that the more than two hundred people were divided into ten groups.

"Group 3 is done, let's see Group 4," Li Han said.

"I remember there's a young actor in Group Four who has some acting experience, his name is ————" Listening to the other people's discussion, Li Han rested his chin on his left hand and slid the mouse down with his right hand.

Ok?

Li Han noticed that one of the actresses in the fourth group was someone she knew, and she was also a rising star.

Blinking, Li Han looked at the girl's photo and profile.

Name: Bao Lujia Address: ————GD Province, SZ City————

Date of birth: May 23, 2002 Personal skills: ————

Hobby:----

"Isn't that Bao Shang En in the photo? Is Bao Shang En her stage name?" Li Han licked his lips and gently stroked his chin with one hand.

"I think Bao Lujia, number 6 in group four, is pretty good."

"Bao Lujia?" Several voices came through the earpiece, and then they looked over.

"Yeah, it's really good, but it's a bit too old. It's almost 15. I wonder if it will grow too tall," one person said worriedly.

"I remember this little flower was rather short, only about 0 meters tall even as an adult," Li Han thought to himself.

"She's got the looks, let's send her to Beijing for an interview so we can meet and see for ourselves," Li Han said, then added jokingly.

"And she's from Shenzhen, she's one of your family members."

"Hahaha—" Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and then continued the selection process.

Finally, twenty-five people were selected. Of these twenty-five, only Bao Lujia and Li Han were known to each other. The others were unheard of and most likely did not enter the entertainment industry in their previous lives.

"Okay, then I'll have my assistant contact their parents and ask them to come to Beijing." Tencent covers all expenses for this kind of preliminary selection and final interview.

"Okay, then I'll get back to Beijing as soon as possible." Li Han nodded and said, hoping to see Cunzi again.

After saying a few more words, Li Han and the others cut off the audio.

"Phew." Li Han exhaled, then thought about the development of Bao Shang En in his previous life.

This is undeniably the heiress of Tencent, though her popularity has never been particularly high. However, she's quite pretty, has a good figure, and very fair skin.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Li Han prepared to return to Beijing.

"When are you coming back?" Tian Xiwei pouted as she looked at Li Han.

"It will take three to five days at the shortest, and five to three days at the longest," Li Han said with a smile.

"If you don't know, just say you don't know." Tian Xiwei couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, I'm leaving." Li Han said, then looked at Zhou.

"I'm leaving."

"Mm." Zhou smiled.

After watching Li Han leave, Tian Xiwei blinked and turned to look at Zhou, who in turn looked at Tian Xiwei.

She pursed her lips and walked back.

"Hmph." Zhou snorted softly and followed them back.

Sitting on the plane, Li Han was scribbling on paper and pen, seemingly writing something, while he hummed softly to himself.

Here's a little red flower for you~

After getting off the plane, it was getting late, so Li Han didn't go to Tencent's office. He planned to go the next day. He took out his phone and contacted Liu Haocun.

Liu Haocun had already started school. Seeing the message Li Han had sent her, she slowly sat up from her bed while playing on her phone.

"You're back in Beijing?"

"Yeah, I just got off the plane. Let's see if you can find some time to come out tomorrow or the day after. I need to talk to you about something," Li Han said.

"Oh, okay." Liu Haocun asked with some curiosity.

"What's wrong?"

"You'll find out when the time comes," Li Han said with a smile.

Seeing this, Liu Haocun didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he started sharing with Li Han the interesting things that happened at school after the start of the semester.

At this time, Liu Haocun had the mentality of a little girl, like a silly college student, sharing anything interesting with her friends.

The next day, Li Han and his assistant went to Tencent Video headquarters, chatted with Sun Zhonghuai and Vice President Zhang Heng, and then met with Assistant Director Zeng Qingjie.

This guy was the director of the dramas "Ninefold Purple" and "Chasing Jade" in his previous life.

Afterwards, Li Han, Sun Zhonghuai, and Zeng Qingjie went to a conference room to wait for the next interview.

The three sat side by side, with Sun Zhonghuai in the middle and Li Han and Zeng Qingjie on either side. On the table were three documents about the twenty-five girls from today.

Li Han sat down, picked up the documents and flipped through them, finally finding Bao Shangen's personal information.

Half an hour later, Sun Zhonghuai's assistant knocked on the door and came in to ask if Sun Zhonghuai could proceed with the interview.

"That's enough," Sun Zhonghuai gestured.

Outside the conference room, twenty-five girls of varying ages sat or stood on benches, accompanied by their parents.

Bao Lujia wore a white long dress and a coat, with wispy bangs and slightly curly black hair hanging down to her chest. Her fair skin was incredibly delicate. At only fourteen years old, Bao Lujia's skin was so tender that you could almost squeeze water out of it. Her fair face still had some baby fat.

Celebrities are just different from ordinary people. At first glance, you can tell that her temperament is completely different from the other twenty-four girls.

Sun Zhonghuai's assistant came out with a folder in his hand and gestured to everyone, who then quickly stood up.

"I'll call out names. If you hear your name, go in. Once inside, greet everyone in turn. Remember to smile when you speak. Don't sit down unless you're offered a seat. That's basic courtesy—first one."

A girl stood up. She had delicate features and took a deep breath, looking a little nervous, before going inside.

Upon entering, she looked at the three people in front of her, her body trembling with nervousness.

"Director Li, President Sun, Director Zeng." His voice trembled.

Seeing how nervous the girl was, Li Han spoke up to reassure her, "Don't be nervous, sit down, and introduce yourself first."

"Okay, sure." The girl nodded, then sat down and began to introduce herself.

My name is ————

The girls came in and out one by one. When the fifth girl came in, Li Han looked up and his eyes lit up. It was none other than Bao Lujia.

Looking at the girl's outfit, Li Han couldn't help but exclaim, "She's naturally beautiful; she really knows how to dress!"

"Hello, Mr. Sun, Director Li, Director Zeng, I am Bao Lujia." Bao Lujia placed her hands on her lower abdomen, smiled, and gave a slight bow to greet them.

"Sit down," Li Han gestured. Bao Lujia smiled at Li Han, then sat down with her legs together, hands on her lap, sitting upright.

"Please introduce yourself," Li Han said.

"Yes, my name is Bao Lujia, I am 14 years old, I am from SZ City, GD Province, I am 151 cm tall, and my weight is ————" Bao Lujia introduced herself simply and neatly.

"His height is fine." Sun Zhonghuai nodded. To play the female lead as a child, she naturally couldn't be too tall.

"I saw on your profile that you can dance?" Li Han said.

"Yes, I was in the dance team when I was in elementary school," Bao Lujia said with a smile. She couldn't help but swallow, as she was still a little nervous at her young age.

"Is this a chance for me to put on a show? Should I bring it up?" Bao Lujia wondered to herself.

"You play basketball?" Li Han asked casually, still looking down at her profile.

"Yes, but it's just a hobby," Bao Lujia quickly replied.

After Li Han finished speaking, Sun Zhonghuai and Zeng Qingjie also asked Bao Lujia a few questions.

"Okay, you can go out now," Sun Zhonghuai said with a smile.

"Okay." Bao Lujia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed, and then pushed open the door and left.
