Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?-Chapter 353: Don’t Go
Tong Yan expressed her surprise to Zhou Xinyan.
Zhou Xinyan said, "Sorry, I forgot to send you the script."
With a blank face, she really couldn’t hear any apology in her tone.
Before her rebirth, she had heard many heroic stories about this director. Forgetting to send the script was really a minor oversight.
Zhou Xinyan called over the male lead, a popular child star around Xiao Zhi’s age, with delicate features and a trendy braid.
He lit up when he saw Tong Yan and greeted, "Hello, sister. I am Zuo Yi, playing your son in the drama." Then, playfully, he called her "mom" and said to take care of him.
Eloquent, lively, and adorable.
No wonder he’s a child star.
Tong Yan felt someone tugging her pants. She looked down to see a small hand tightly gripping her pant leg. When Xiao Zhi noticed her gaze, he immediately let go and looked down silently.
Tong Yan gently touched a small tuft of his hair.
"Oh, Bo Yimo is the investor of ’Inspiration,’" Zhou Xinyan said, "and the sole investor at that."
What?!
WTF?!
The truth brought tears to Tong Yan’s eyes.
It turned out that the so-called audition by the film emperor was for interviewing others for acting roles.
He is the investor of ’Inspiration’! The big boss, indeed!

The photoshoot for character stills was quick. They were all seasoned actors, well-versed in camera work, and wrapped up several sets of photos in an hour.
Since Xiao Zhi had never visited Beijing, Tong Yan took him sightseeing. Though they didn’t speak, his eyes sparkled with the joy that children should have.
Tong Yan was moved to tears, feeling a comforting sense of finally amusing her own child.
Back at Sacred Heart, Tong Yan entered a hectic filming schedule. Xiao Zhi had a great sense of camera presence; although there were many retakes, he was remarkably smart and grasped the essentials quickly after being told once.
Moreover, this public welfare film centered on stories of abandonment, focusing more on expressions in the eyes than facial expressions, which suited Xiao Zhi well.
The character stills for ’Inspiration’ were released and, with the production team’s promotional efforts, they sparked huge interest online. Tong Yan, being a topic creator herself, fueled heated discussion.
The entire background theme was black. Zuo Yi’s eyes appeared pitch-black, bleeding tears, while Tong Yan, her hair loose, looked at him in panic.
Clearly, Zuo Yi was playing the ghost.
Anyone who watched felt a chill rising in their heart.
Tong Yan’s Weibo exploded.
Ahhh, caught a Little Fatty. Tackle!
Wife, don’t be scared! Come into hubby’s arms! Hubby will protect you!
No doubt, Little Fatty’s hubby is different from those flamboyant characters, no matter what, my hubby is the most handsome!
...
Many artists dislike taking roles in horror films. First, silent scripts truly test acting skills, and a poor performance invites criticism easily. Second, the audience for horror films is small, unlike those youth idol dramas that can become hits with some handsome men, pretty women, and clichéd plots. Even with a great script, horror films never achieve that level of success.
So, with Tong Yan’s current popularity, it’s really surprising she would act in a horror film.
No matter the commotion outside, Tong Yan remained calm, focusing on her acting with remarkable steadiness, undisturbed.
As the public welfare film neared completion, Tong Yan also concluded her one-month stint as a volunteer at Sacred Heart.
However, at the thought of leaving, Tong Yan felt reluctant because of Xiao Zhi.
At that moment, the sound of rapid footsteps reached her ears, and she looked up to see Xiao Zhi running up to her.
He climbed up her leg, settled on her lap, threw his arms around her neck, buried his head in her shoulder, holding tightly, and after a while, muttered, "Sister, don’t go."
