Chapter 12: [Han Chen’s Blushing Face]

Fang Hui couldn’t help but laugh and casually forwarded the post, tagging “Crazy But Won’t Take Medicine.” Very quickly, “Crazy But Won’t Take Medicine” replied: “Damn, old woman, have you lost your mind again?! I @@￥!％％……”

A bunch of spectators, never too late for drama, quickly jumped in:

**My Kid is the Cutest:** “Guys, come quick! The Queen and her monkey are at it again!”

**Proud Owner of a Snooty Persian:** “Place your bets! Can the monkey make a comeback today? The odds are at 10,000 to 1!”

**Super Dad:** “I’m betting 10,000 on the Queen!”

**Proud Owner of a Snooty Persian:** “Shameless! Can’t you at least bet one yuan? He’s still just a kid!”

Moments later, just as “Crazy But Won’t Take Medicine” was having a great time cursing, things went quiet. Then, “Call Me Your Queen” delivered a crisp, straightforward message to the group: “The stupid monkey’s phone has been confiscated by me. You can all wash up and go to bed now.”

**My Kid is the Cutest:** “…You cheated! That poor monkey.”

**Proud Owner of a Snooty Persian:** “Don’t you ever consider the monkey’s feelings?”

**Super Dad:** “Remember to transfer that one yuan you owe me via Alipay.”

Fang Hui watched the group of managers playfully banter, shaking his head with a smile as he started the car. Being a manager was a tough job, caught between different pressures, so they all loosened up within their private group to relieve stress.

That night, Zheng Qingqiu sat in his private screening room, replaying the day’s audition footage. Although Jian Han had already been confirmed as the second female lead, the roles of the third and fourth leads were still undecided. There were two promising candidates from that day’s auditions, so he wanted to review them again.

He watched the footage until Jian Han’s audition was over, but oddly, the camera didn’t stop recording. Zheng Qingqiu raised an eyebrow in surprise. The blank screen suddenly shifted, and the footage showed Han Chen looking defiant. The next moment, Jian Han pulled out her phone and quietly drew two red blushing cheeks on Han Chen’s portrait. When Han Chen grabbed the phone away, she calmly took out a book cover and erased the two front teeth from a poster of a cool, handsome demon.

The whole scene played out silently, like a pantomime, giving off a strangely comedic vibe.

Zheng Qingqiu: “…”

People often said there was always a restless soul behind the camera, and apparently, his cinematographer was no exception.

While pondering this, Zheng Qingqiu unhesitatingly clipped the video and uploaded it to his WeChat Moments, titling it, “The Second Female Lead We Just Cast Today.” He mischievously tagged “Crazy But Won’t Take Medicine.”

So, as the saying goes, the kind of cinematographer you have reflects the kind of director you are—nobody can laugh at anybody else.

As a veteran director in the industry, Zheng Qingqiu’s circle of friends was made up of fellow professionals. Even though it was late at night, many were still on set. Soon, people started responding.

**Bear Meow Meow:** “Wow, Old Zheng, where did you find such a funny girl?”

**Vegetarian Tiger:** “I’m coaching my lead actress right now. I was about to reach my goal of making her cry for the hundredth time, but as soon as I smiled, she wasn’t scared anymore!”

**Mr. Cat the Fishpond Owner:** “That’s nothing! Damn, I’m in the middle of filming a funeral scene, but I laughed so hard that now everyone’s looking at me like I’m crazy!”

By the way, the director circle had recently started playing a fun little game where everyone changed their WeChat names to animal nicknames.

Zheng Qingqiu was laughing so hard at his friends’ comments that he clutched his stomach and rolled around on the couch. But when Director Sun Yifan, whose ID was **Great Sage Equal to Heaven**, left a message, Zheng was so startled he almost rolled off the couch: “This girl is good. If possible, have her contact me.”

**Bear Meow Meow:** “What the heck, did I just see a deep-sea submarine surface? Idol, don’t leave!”

**Vegetarian Tiger:** “Wow, seeing Director Sun appear today—I must be incredibly lucky!”

**Mr. Cat the Fishpond Owner:** “Lucky day +1! I’m changing the funeral scene to a wedding!”

If the directors had idols, then Sun Yifan, with the ID **Great Sage Equal to Heaven**, would definitely be the superstar.

In terms of age and style, there were currently five generations of directors in the country. The first and second generations had mostly retired. The third generation had already made their mark and would film one or two big-budget projects a year, earning both fame and fortune. Meanwhile, those still fighting on the front lines were from the fourth and fifth generations.

On WeChat, the fourth and fifth-generation directors were the most active.

Sun Yifan was one of the rare second-generation directors who still made films, and his extensive career had cemented his status as an industry legend. What’s more, he was a one-of-a-kind figure in the industry—any film he made was guaranteed to win awards.

He had launched the careers of three Best Actors. There were no Best Actresses in his films simply because his work tended to focus more on male-driven stories. Even so, two of his actresses had won Best Supporting Actress awards at prestigious film festivals!

It was no exaggeration to say that directors like **Bear Meow Meow** and **Vegetarian Tiger** had grown up watching Sun Yifan’s movies while studying at film school.

Now, this legendary director had personally asked to be put in touch with Jian Han, and Zheng Qingqiu couldn’t help but marvel at her good fortune. As far as he knew, aside from updates about his films, this was Sun Yifan’s first personal message ever!

Zheng immediately replied, “No problem, I’ll have her contact you for sure!” After typing that, he carefully @Great Sage Equal to Heaven, all while trying to suppress his excitement. He even took a screenshot of Sun Yifan’s message, saving it as a devoted fan. How could he let any trace of his idol slip away?

The director circle was in an uproar over Sun Yifan’s unexpected appearance, and even those who had been lurking suddenly surfaced. Many, delighted by the video, shared it instantly.

Before long, the video had spread to the actor circle, and then to the fans.

As always, Han Chen’s devoted fans, who kept a close watch on his every move, were the first to discover the new video about their idol.

**Biggest Fan of Chen:** “What the heck, that trainee No. 18 is bullying my male god again!”

**Chen Chen, I Want to Have Your Babies:** “Ahhhh, even when my male god is angry, he’s so handsome! But giving him just one monkey baby isn’t enough—I want to give him a whole troop of monkeys!”

**Chen Chen, Come Home for Dinner:** “Can you all be a little smarter? You’re missing the point here! Speaking of which, don’t you think his blushing face is super cute?”

**Chen Chen, Come Home for Dinner** quickly posted a picture of Han Chen’s portrait, which had been edited to include two red cheeks.

**Chen Chen is My Male God:** “It really is adorable, [Han Chen’s Blushing Face].”

**Chen Chen, I Want to Have Your Babies:** “So cute, [Han Chen’s Blushing Face].”

**Biggest Fan of Chen:** “Even if [Han Chen’s Blushing Face] is cute, I still can’t forgive trainee No. 18. How dare she bully my male god!”
