“That’s right. Alright, let’s rest for a while. We still have half an hour’s journey ahead of us to get to the film and television base.”

Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction. He put his phone in his pocket and handed Shen Wanwan a neck pillow for her to rest.

Shen Wanwan obediently closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the car had already arrived at the film and television base.

The film and television base was famous for filming historical dramas. It was said that this film and television base was built by a wealthy person with a huge sum of money.

The interior decoration of the film and television base was very fitting for ancient times. This place had also become a sacred place for filming countless historical dramas.

The car had just stopped at the entrance of the film and television base when screams came from not far away. Shen Wanwan looked over curiously and saw fans holding light signs and cameras.

The fans surrounded a black minibus. The fan’s screams were so loud that they could be heard from a distance.

“Brother Chen, take good care of yourself!”

“Brother Chen, don’t worry and fly high, the Clouds will follow you forever.”

The screaming stopped suddenly as the window of the minibus was lowered. Yun Chen looked at the fans outside the window and smiled.

“Clouds, please keep quiet. Otherwise, it will affect other production teams filming,” said Yun Chen. As soon as he finished speaking, the fans who had been about to scream immediately shut their mouths and looked at Yun Chen with excited eyes.

“Alright, it’s getting late. I should go and check-in. Clouds, be careful when you go home,” Yun Chen waved to his fans and rolled up the car window. He then instructed his assistant, “Go buy some iced milk tea later and give it to the fans.”

“Okay, Brother Yun.”

The car slowly drove into the film and television base. Watching the minibus driving away, Shen Wanwan couldn’t help but sigh.

“Best Actor Yun Chen is such a good person. He’s so kind to his fans.”

“Why? Wanwan, are you also a fan of Yun Chen?” Lin Ze couldn’t help but ask. He had been leading Yun Chen for ten years. From the beginning, no one cared about him to his current, he was famous all over the world. Yun Chen’s business ability was very strong.

At the age of twenty-seven, he had successfully won countless awards and became the youngest Best Actor in history. He had countless fans.

“I guess so,” Shen Wanwan replied. She also knew Yun Chen. In the original novel, he was the second male lead and Ji Jinxian’s number-one love rival.

At the end of the book, Yun Chen didn’t end up well. Not only was he heartbroken, but his reputation was also ruined. He became a has-been Best Actor that everyone hated.

Back then, when she was reading, she had lamented that this Best Actor might have something wrong. He had given up his bright future and had chosen the female lead.

Just as Shen Wanwan was recalling the plot in the book, the car had already driven into the film and television base. As soon as the car entered the film and television base, the car was stopped.

Registration was required at the film and television base. They were afraid that fans would sneak in, so all vehicles had to be registered.

After a simple registration, the car was allowed to drive straight into the film and television base. From afar, Shen Wanwan saw Yun Chen’s minibus.

The car stopped in the parking lot. Shen Wanwan followed her manager out of the car and went straight to the address given by the director.

“Wanwan, I won’t accompany you inside. My assistant and I will take your luggage to the hotel first. We’ll come and pick you up after you’re done.”

Lin Ze stopped at the door and did not accompany Shen Wanwan inside. Shen Wanwan did not have any objections and nodded, pushing the door open to enter the meeting room.

At that moment, the director and the other main actors had already arrived in the meeting room.

“Director Chen.”

Shen Wanwan quickly walked towards the director. Hearing someone calling, Director Chen turned his head and, upon seeing the female lead he was satisfied with, his eyes lit up.

“Wanwan’s here. Come over quickly. I’ll introduce you to the other actors in our drama.”

Director Chen was very enthusiastic as he led Shen Wanwan to meet the other main leads. The actors and actresses in this drama were all famous seniors in the industry.

Shen Wanwan greeted everyone politely, and the seniors were easy to get along with. However, when she met the actress who played the second female lead, Li Piao, she received a cold reception.

The second female lead, Li Piao, was a veteran actress. In the drama, she played the role of the Crown Prince’s mother, which was also the Empress.

“Hello, Miss Li.”

Shen Wanwan politely greeted her, but the other party only coldly glanced at Shen Wanwan and turned to leave.

It was rumored that Shen Wanwan was a newcomer actress who was not even considered a D-list actress. She had support from a backer, which was why she was able to get the role of the female lead.

How could Li Piao accept that she had to be worked with such an unknown actress?

She had already given Director Chen a face by not stopping the filming. She couldn’t show any kindness to this D-list nobody.

“Wanwan, don’t mind it.”

Seeing Li Piao turn around and leave, Director Chen couldn’t keep his smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Shen Wanwan, trying to explain Li Piao’s behavior. “Miss Li, she…”

Before Director Chen could finish, Shen Wanwan waved her hand and interrupted him, “It’s okay, Director Chen. I understand.”

Shen Wanwan did not care about Li Piao’s attitude toward her. In her previous life, she had experienced countless rejections and had sat on the bench for a long time before she debuted. She was used to being ignored.

She did not mind it. Since Director Chen had already introduced her to several actors, she did not want to dwell on Li Piao’s behavior and moved on.

“Director Chen, Brother Yun is here!”

At that moment, Chen Kang’s assistant rushed over and excitedly announced Yun Chen’s arrival. Chen Kang’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing the news.

“Come, let me introduce you to our male lead,” Chen Kang said as he led the way towards the commotion. As they arrived at the meeting room where Yun Chen was, he was already surrounded by people who warmly greeted him.

Shen Wanwan couldn’t help but feel impressed by how quickly people’s attitudes changed towards him. This was the difference between being popular and not being popular. When you were popular, even the most arrogant people would come up to you to greet you.

Despite her thoughts, Shen Wanwan obediently followed along and went to greet Yun Chen.

“Hello, Mr. Yun,” Shen Wanwan said with a smile as she approached him. Yun Chen’s eyes lit up when he saw her.

“Wanwan, we have the same manager, so you don’t have to be so polite with me. Just call me Brother Yun.”

Yun Chen’s attitude was very friendly. Yun Chen was not stingy with promoting talented juniors. Moreover, Shen Wanwan was under his manager’s guidance.

Although they were technically senior and junior siblings, it was still necessary to look after each other. If he didn’t do so, his phone would probably be ringing non- stop tonight.

“Okay, Brother Yun. Please guide me in the future.”

Shen Wanwan smiled and nodded. After a brief self-introduction, they quickly moved on to the script reading. Everyone sat at the conference table and analyzed their characters one by one.

Knowing that there would be a script reading, Shen Wanwan had already prepared brief biographies for each character and analyzed their traits.

If someone picked up her script and looked at it, they would see the small words on her script. As the female lead, Shen Wanwan naturally sat beside Director Chen.
