Wen Nian sat on the sofa and regarded Wen Xing with suspicion. “Don’t you feel uncomfortable being around Shen Jun?” she asked.

Wen Xing, sitting comfortably on a pillow, smiled in response. “That’s because 1 didn’t know Shen Jun well before. Oh, this young man is really impressive! The last time 1 had a meal with him, 1 had the impression that he was a bit arrogant. But after spending time with him today, I realized it was all a misunderstanding. He’s actually quite warm and enthusiastic.”

“It’s all thanks to him that I sprained my waist this time. He tirelessly carried me up and down, took care of all the registration and waiting, and even got the prescribed medicine,” Wen Xing remarked.

Wen Nian was silent for a moment after hearing Wen Xing’s words. He muttered, “Looks like 1 really owe him a huge favor.”

Wen Xing didn’t hear it clearly and asked, “What did you say?”

Wen Nian shook her head. “Nothing. Let me help you to the bedroom to rest for a while.”

Wen Xing replied, “No need. I’ve been lying down for more than an hour during the treatment. By the way, you said that the tutor you hired was Little Shen? Isn’t this affecting his studies?”

Wen Xing chuckled and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. Shen Jun is a brilliant student, and his tutoring skills are exceptional. I’m sure you’ll benefit a lot from his guidance. It’s a win-win situation for both of you.”

Wen Nian’s casual excuse seems to have eased any concerns Wen Xing may have had about Shen Jun’s tutoring arrangement. The prospect of earning a significant amount of money in just two months reinforces the notion that Shen Jun’s motivation is primarily financial. With this understanding, Wen Xing accepts the explanation without delving deeper into the matter.

After dinner, Shen Jun helped Wen Xing back to apply the medicinal ointment. Wen Nian went to Xu Chang’s room to join the script reading session with the rest of the production team.

Wen Nian was not late, but the others had arrived earlier.

The script revolves around Mu Ci, the female protagonist who is compelled to abandon her education due to relentless bullying during high school. Through introspection and unwavering determination, she eventually embarks on a journey to become a lawyer. Ultimately, she devises an intricate plan to bring those who tormented her in the past to justice, resulting in their imprisonment.

The movie featured two distinct timelines. Approximately one-third of the scenes depicted the high school bullying period, while the remaining two-thirds focused on the protagonist’s quest for revenge during adulthood.

Due to funding constraints, the movie sought the participation of either university students studying acting or talented actors who, despite not being famous, had accumulated substantial experience in supporting roles.

Despite the limited resources of the production team, careful consideration was given to Xu Chang’s casting, ensuring that it was not done in a perfunctory manner.

During the high school scenes, it was appropriate to cast university students who had not yet experienced real-world society, as it added authenticity to their portrayals.

As the characters transition into adulthood, the narrative unfolds in the competitive realm of the real world. In order to effectively portray these roles, it becomes crucial to cast actors with both social experience and strong acting skills.

In today’s entertainment industry, there is a prevalent preference for popular celebrities, leading to frequent changes in the lineup of artists. As a result, many talented supporting actors often struggle to gain the opportunity to stand out and receive recognition they deserve.

Furthermore, despite Jiang Bai’s lack of fame, the script itself was of high quality. There were many individuals like Jiang Bai who faced the challenge of surviving in the industry without being given the chance to showcase their talent on screen. However, Xu Chang’s conditions for them were reasonable, and as a result, they managed to recruit a notable ensemble of talented actors.

The moment Wen Nian, the female lead, made her appearance, she captivated everyone’s attention. She was the only character in the movie portrayed by the same actor, portraying her from a young age all the way through adulthood.

“The conditions here are modest, and I apologize for any inconvenience. Please find a place to sit, and make yourselves comfortable.”

In the room, there were several plastic stools available. The young actors took the initiative to occupy those seats, while the sofas and chairs with backs were graciously offered to the senior members of the team.

Next came the self-introduction segment, during which each member of the team introduced themselves. Interestingly, Wen Nian was the only one who had never received formal training in acting. Xu Chang, recognizing this, cast a meaningful glance at Wen Nian and deliberately arranged for her to be the last one to introduce herself.

Wen Nian naturally grasped Xu Chang’s intentions. Despite being an ordinary person and the youngest among the team, she had been entrusted with the pivotal role of the female lead. Understandably, there were individuals who doubted her abilities. Xu Chang wanted Wen Nian to keep a low profile and avoid excessive ostentation.

Once everyone had been introduced, Wen Nian stood under the watchful gaze of her colleagues and spoke with a natural and unpretentious tone. She said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Wen Nian. I’m still a high school student, and 1 have been cast as Mu Ci in this production. 1 am deeply grateful to Director Xu for entrusting me with such a significant opportunity. 1 must admit that I am inexperienced and have much to learn in terms of acting. 1 sincerely hope that everyone here can offer me guidance and constructive feedback..”
