Ye Mufan asked, "Do you know Kong Jiaming?"
"The one who directed Extraordinary Attack?" Ye Wanwan replied.
Ye Mufan nodded. "That's right, him! Director Kong just called and said he had a screenplay on hand that suited Gong Xu and Luo Chen a lot, so he wanted to invite them to shoot it."
Ye Wanwan asked with interest, "Really? What kind of script? Director Kong's war films are quite well done."
Ye Mufan clicked on his phone. "Look at it yourself. Here's the outline of the screenplay that they sent over just now. The script is written by Zheng Hui. I read the synopsis and think it's quite decent. The roles also fit Gong Xu and Luo Chen a lot…"
When Gong Xu, Luo Chen, and Tang Xinghuo saw Ye Mufan showing Ye Wanwan the screenplay, they just thought the girl was interested in the entertainment industry and didn't think too much about it.
Ye Wanwan soon finished skimming the outline.
"How is it? Quite nice, right?" Ye Mufan asked.
Ye Wanwan nodded. "The screenplay is quite nice, but it's not suited for Gong Xu and Luo Chen."
"Why?" Ye Mufan didn't understand.
"It's another combination of an officer and prodigal, and it overlaps with A Life and Death Struggle. The first time is a classic, but we can't possibly surpass the first time with a second time. Instead, it'd be all too easy to get typecast and it'd be disadvantageous if they wanted to play other roles in the future."
"I think Gong Xu and Luo Chen can attempt a breakthrough with their current situation and try out different roles. Luo Chen, especially, is capable enough."
Ye Mufan listened seriously and didn't doubt Ye Wanwan's words at all. "Then I'll decline it?"
Ye Wanwan nodded. "Decline it and thank Director Hong for his offer. Also, you can casually ask about the new film Director Hong and Fan Qihua are preparing to shoot next year, Wild Fire. The male lead of that film quite suits Gong Xu, so perhaps there's still an opportunity to work with him there…"
"OK, I understand. I'll reply to them after the banquet ends."
As Gong Xu listened to Ye Mufan and Ye Wanwan's conversation, his adoring look gradually shifted. The sense of something amiss plagued him…
Um… Why do I feel Little Candied Plum's aura when she talks to Ye Mufan… is so… so familiar?
Gong Xu subconsciously looked at Luo Chen and caught the same thought in Luo Chen's eyes.
Gong Xu quietly asked Luo Chen, "Blockhead… Do you feel like Little Candied Plum's aura just now… really resembles Brother Ye?"
Luo Chen nodded. "It's very similar…"
"It's not just similar! It's like she was possessed by Brother Ye, alright?"
It wasn't only her tone and mannerisms when speaking but also her deep understanding of him and Luo Chen, as well Ye Mufan's attitude toward her. Everything felt off, didn't it?
W-what… is going on?
Ye Mufan continued telling Ye Wanwan, "Also, Date with a Superstar called again. That Hou coward was shameless enough to invite us to attend the next episode. Also, Hot-blooded Adventure, who broke the contract before the award ceremony, is now shifting the blame and saying it was a temporary worker who messed things up…"
"Don't accept those two. Did any other variety shows contact us?"
Ye Mufan nodded and handed his phone to her again. "Of course there are! These are the ones who've contacted us so far. Take a look!"
Ye Wanwan pointed at two of the variety shows. "These two are decent. Have Gong Xu and Luo Chen pick one to attend."
