The conversation eventually turned to actors, mainly because Shen Lang was curious.
"Zhao Zhetian and Zhou Gongzi are friendly on the surface but don't get along, and Chen Kun and Yu Zhou Dan are also vying for status. Gordon Chan favors Yu Zhou Dan more, and since they're all in the same circle, he added a lot of scenes for Yu Zhou Dan. You, as the screenwriter, will be quite busy."
"Isn't Chen Kun the male lead?"
Liu Shang patted Shen Lang's shoulder: "Shidi, who says a male supporting role can't be more brilliant than the male lead? How this drama is filmed, everything is up to the director. Of course, he definitely can't surpass the male lead, after all, the star power is set."
"But Yu Zhou Dan is definitely not convinced. Chen Kun's star power is certainly much lower than his; he only became the male lead because of his image and the push from the Chinese-American community behind him."
"Shige, I'm a bit curious, who is the female lead in this drama? According to what you're saying, the female lead must have also had her share of fights."
Liu Shang smiled: "There's no result yet, and I don't think there will be. You'll find out when the time comes."
"What's the matter?"
Liu Shang rolled his eyes: "You're really gossipy. Logically speaking, Zhou Gongzi should definitely be the female lead in this drama, it's painted skin, she plays the female lead, but!!!"
Shen Lang blinked. Everything is scary when there's a 'but.'
"But Gordon Chan is preparing to revise the script and change Zhao Zhetian into the female lead, which is why you're here. I've told you the matter, can you stop being so gossipy, kid? Can you just drink properly?"
"Yes, yes, yes, come on, Shige, I'll toast you."
As the two were enjoying their drinks, they heard a voice.
"Producer Liu."
Liu Shang turned his head: "Liu Yan, what a coincidence, are you also here for dinner? Come, join us?"
Liu Yan smiled and nodded, then sat down, curiously sizing up Shen Lang: "This is?"
Liu Shang patted Shen Lang's shoulder: "My Shidi, he just joined our crew and is our crew's screenwriter."
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Hello, Sister Liu Yan, I've watched your hosted programs."
"Hello, I thought you were an actor, you're so handsome."
"Right? I think so too. Shidi, you really chose the wrong profession. If you had entered the performing arts department back then, you might be a big star now, instead of just wasting time here."
Shen Lang smiled without speaking, not saying much. Liu Shang ordered two more dishes, and the three of them ate and chatted.
Liu Yan naturally had a good impression of the handsome Shen Lang, and Shen Lang, for his part, was also a bit interested in this rare domestic beauty with 36D.
Liu Shang also noticed that the two seemed to be hitting it off and wanted to give them a push.
"Shidi, you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you?"
"No, not yet."
Liu Shang looked at Liu Yan with a chuckle: "What do you think of my Shidi? Xiao Liu, I think you two could get to know each other."
Shen Lang secretly gave Shige a thumbs-up. This is a true Shige, very thoughtful.
Liu Yan's face flushed. Shen Lang directly picked up some food for her. Liu Yan glanced at Shen Lang, then lowered her head and ate the dish.
Liu Shang winked at Shen Lang, 'Shidi, how am I doing?'
Shen Lang winked back, 'Shige, you are my god.'
"Cough cough, well, I've had a bit too much to drink. You two continue eating, I've already paid the bill." Liu Shang slipped away directly. As a qualified wingman, one must exit at the crucial moment.
Shen Lang was very proactive, reaching out directly and touching Liu Yan's slightly plump, fair and tender hand.
Liu Yan looked up and gave Shen Lang a glare: "How can you be like this? It's only our first meeting."
Shen Lang chuckled: "I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself."
"You're annoying..."
