Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?-Chapter 346: Xiao Zhi

The two of them carefully discussed the specific steps of implementation to ensure there were no problems, and only then were they satisfied enough to go to sleep.

Their only thought before sleeping was that those two women were not crazy enough to move the bed; otherwise, they would have to sleep on the floor.

Early the next morning, without waiting for them, Tong Yan went directly to Holy Heart to start the preliminary work for the public welfare film shoot.

Early in the morning, Director Jin from Jin Zhou told her they had found the child actor.

To seek authenticity, they were using a child from Holy Heart Orphanage as the main character, with Holy Heart Orphanage as the background. If it weren’t because the director didn’t feel up to it and didn’t want to act, fearing he couldn’t handle it, Tong Yan might not have gotten the role.

She needed to build a good emotional connection with the child actor, get along with the director, thoroughly understand his actions, and also bond with the children at the orphanage.

This was what she had to do for the next half month, and the latter half would be the official filming.

Upon learning this, Tong Yan silently gave Brother Feng a thumbs up, thinking this was deliberately giving her a half month break.

Brother Feng is precisely that kind of little devil who says no with his mouth, but his heart is very honest.

#In the distance, Gu Feng inexplicably shivered#

Many children living in orphanages are very sensitive. They long for care and love but are also afraid of it. They fear that once they receive attention, they might lose it again. They live cautiously, full of contradictions, yet longing.

Tong Yan arrived at Holy Heart and saw Jin Zhou talking to a child.

This should be the chosen child actor. She went over and greeted, "Director Jin."

Director Jin didn’t lift his head, "You’re here, huh? I’ll leave him to you."

After speaking, he eagerly pushed the child into her arms.

The child looked up, and Tong Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

Such a beautiful child, but also very... aloof.

His features were well-proportioned, with delicate eyebrows and bright eyes. Even at such a young age, it was clear that he would grow up to be very handsome. His eyes were especially striking, very large and bright, like stars. But they were as still as a dead sea, calm and without waves, as if nothing could ripple them.

Tong Yan greeted him, even tried being gentle and playful, using all sorts of ways, but still didn’t manage to get the child to speak.

Tong Yan: ...

Can we even successfully film later?

Why does Director Jin want to tackle something so difficult!

At this moment, Tong Yan realized that acting wasn’t as easy as she thought.

With no other option, Tong Yan had to ask the director for help.

The director frowned and sighed, "This child is called Xiao Zhi. He was abandoned at the doorstep when he was still a baby. Because he’s good-looking, he was adopted a few times, but each time, after just a few days, he was returned. The reason given was that he was bad luck — bringing misfortune wherever he went. He used to be quite lively when he was little, but after being abandoned repeatedly, he turned out like this. The rumors spread, and now in Holy Heart, other kids don’t play with him, leaving him always alone. In this day and age, people still believe in such superstitions; it’s infuriating!"

After hearing this, Tong Yan felt a twinge of heartache. Longing several times, only to be abandoned each time, no wonder he turned out like this.

It seems this isn’t something that can be solved overnight.

Tong Yan, without much experience dealing with children, had no other method but to stubbornly stick around him.

The entire morning passed with Tong Yan trying to win Xiao Zhi over, yet the child didn’t utter a single word.

The pressure felt immense!
