The Long-awaited Mr Han

"I hope Zhuoli eats them all." Shen Nuo directly gave Han Zhuoli a very pleasant blessing. "Even if he doesn't get all of them, I hope he gets most of them."

"Maybe it will taste good." Lu Man walked over with Han Zhuoli and took a seat.

Han Zhuoli had always been a fan of Lu Man's food.

But this time, he was resisting vehemently.

"So let's see who eats it first." Han Zhuoli smiled and said, "The best thing would be if you ate it yourself and thought it tastes delicious."

Lu Man thought to herself. If she really ate it first…

She would say it was delicious even if it wasn't.

In the end, Lu Man was actually the first one that got to eat one of her creations.

Lu Man luckily picked the dumpling filled with spicy strips and cheese.

Unexpectedly, it didn't taste horrible, but it wasn't exactly great.

In addition, the cheese was stretchy.

"Yes. This is delicious," Lu Man said with a grin as she said, "Although my dumplings seem like some sort of dark cuisine, they really taste good. Do you want to give it a taste?"

"No." Han Zhuoli rejected it without any hesitation.

Obviously, the two babies in Lu Man's womb didn't like it either.

To show their objection, they thumped in the womb.

Lu Man quickly endured the pain. Her expression remained the same as she continued grinning at Han Zhuoli.

Han Zhuoli thought it was suspicious. He suddenly leaned over and ate the remaining half of Lu Man's dumpling.

Han Zhuoli was speechless.

How was it good?!

As expected of the actress Lu Man, she was able to keep her countenance straight.

"You will definitely be an Oscar-winning actress," Han Zhuoli said confidently to Lu Man.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

However, none at this table were spared. They all got to taste Lu Man's bizarre dumplings.

Whenever they got a taste of Lu Man's dumplings and then got a taste of the normal dumplings, they would feel as though the normal dumplings tasted like heaven.

After that, everyone went home.

With the exception of going back to Lu Man's family home and getting food with Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei, Lu Man and Han Zhuoli stayed home for the entire time.

The day before the Spring Festival holiday came to an end, Han Zhuofeng came to visit Han Zhuoli.

He even brought along Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai.

Previously, Han Zhuofeng had been staying at the Han Family Home. While he was there, Yan Zhiqing and Yan Beicheng visited the Han Family to wish the Han Family a happy new year.

Han Zhuofeng immediately asked Yan Zhiqing if she could accept a role in his movie.

After Yan Zhiqing had finished filming this newest movie, she received a lot of invites to many other films.

But Yan Zhiqing wanted to rest for a while. She didn't want to start working immediately.

Therefore, aside from choosing a script, she was also choosing one with a schedule that would suit her timeline.

So, when Yan Zhiqing was invited by Han Zhuofeng, she didn't care about the pay or anything.

She mainly cared about whether she liked the script or not.

It would be good if she could play a favorable role in a movie with a script that she liked.

When she heard what Han Zhuofeng said, Yan Zhiqing immediately felt intrigued

She immediately called her manager Mou Danqiong.

She indicated that she wanted to accept this role.

Mou Danqiong could only say that Yan Zhiqing was being impulsive.

The movie didn't even have a script yet. Despite that, she still wanted to be part of the film production.

In Han Zhuofeng's words, the pre-production would take a long time.

He had no idea when they might start filming.

In addition, it was also a very difficult pill to swallow.

The project could easily end halfway through pre-production.

But Yan Zhiqing was able to accept it without any hesitation.

If it were someone else who told Yan Zhiqing about it, Mou Danqiong would have adamantly rejected that person.

However, the person was Han Zhuofeng.

Although this was his first time being the director, Han Zhuofeng was backed by the powerful Han Family.

Mou Danqiong still had a lot of faith in the Han Family.

Since Yan Zhiqing liked it, Mou Danqiong agreed.

Even if it got canceled halfway, it wouldn't affect Yan Zhiqing's career.

However, when Mou Danqiong heard that Yan Zhiqing was going to give Han Zhuofeng a friend discount, Mou Danqiong could only say that Yan Zhiqing was capable of doing whatever she wanted because she was rich.

For the sake of her acting career, she was going to work for free.

Anyway, Mou Danqiong did not disagree with Yan Zhiqing's decision.

So, on the last day of this holiday, Han Zhuofeng wanted to discuss the roles in the movie with Yan Zhiqing and Lu Man.

But Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai still wanted to go on a date.

And so, they could only choose to go on a date at Lu Man's house.

The corner of Han Zhuoli's eyes twitched.

This was a good holiday. He wanted to just be lazy at home on the last day of the holiday.

However, his dream was shattered.

When Lu Man heard that Han Zhuofeng was struggling to decide on who the cast members would be, she smiled and said, "Do you think Zhiqing and I are not enough to boost your box office earnings?"

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. "…"

"No. You two definitely are capable," Han Zhuofeng said, "But we still need an actor; otherwise, it'll be too imbalanced."

"That's easy. Just look at the recent movies with good reviews. You can create a list of the celebrities who have just become famous and evaluate their acting through those recent films with good reviews."

Lu Man said, "Of course, don't just focus on the main character. There are many actors who can do a good job in acting. They might not be the main character, but even as supporting characters, they have made lasting impressions and are favored by the audience. As long as the audience loves him and his acting, then he is good enough."

"Since he had recently risen to fame, his pay won't be very high. After all, the remuneration is still decided by the number of works they have done. Therefore, you can take this opportunity to sign a contract with him."

"As for the other actors that can guarantee high box office earnings, you can ask them to do a cameo. They can show their face and say a few lines. That won't be expensive," Lu Man said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Han Zhuofeng nodded.

Lu Man was clearly the more thoughtful one!

Although Han Zhuofeng had been learning from a director, he never got to be a true director.

However, the directors that Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli had arranged for him were very famous directors.

The well-known directors had never been in need of investments and were never in need of funds for film production.

Actors were even willing to lower their salaries to be part of their films.

Because those directors never had to worry about money, Han Zhuofeng didn't know what to do when being frugal was a necessity.

Han Zhuofeng wasn't worried about promoting the film before it was shown in theatres.

Because Lu Man was here…

"Alright. Stop disturbing your elder sister-in-law. Your elder sister-in-law is about to give birth," Han Zhuoli reminded.

He was asking Han Zhuofeng not to make Lu Man work too hard.

"Definitely!" Han Zhuofeng immediately agreed.

Han Zhuofeng had the funds. As such, he immediately started working on the tasks for the pre-production.

Lu Man was two months away from giving birth.

With peace of mind, she stayed home for the remaining two months.

Because Xia Qingwei was worried, she would come and keep Lu Man accompany during the day.

Just in case of an emergency…

On this day, Xie Jiling visited the house.

Lu Man had asked Xie Jiling to come and visit.

Lu Man heard that Xie Jiling had officially started school last September. She was a first year college student.

Lu Man was amazed that Xie Jiling actually left home and started traveling at such a young age and had already experienced so many dangerous situations.

But actually, Xie Jiling was just a girl who had just turned 18.

Xie Jiling happened to be in B City as she was a college student at the University of B City.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jiling excelled academically.
