The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 304 - 304 211_3

?Chapter 304: Chapter 211_3 Chapter 304: Chapter 211_3 Bored, she immediately found He Xing to give herself something to do.

Before long, she had secured a role in a micro-film.

And the director was an old acquaintance.

It was Director Zhou Junye from “Voiceless”.

Since Zhou Junye had been preparing for this micro-film for a long time, they started shooting very quickly.

Zhou Junye had thought about casting Wenyan before, but due to his hesitation between two scripts, the idea was shelved.

Now that he had revisited this script and Wenyan’s last film had just wrapped up, Zhou Junye contacted her at the first opportunity.

Zhou Junye was no longer the obscure director he used to be.

He had shot to fame with “Voiceless”.

Wenyan was now the rising starlet voted by netizens as a new internet sensation.

The news of their collaboration, once announced, immediately stirred up waves online.

Everyone’s high expectations for Zhou Junye stemmed from the fact that in this materialistic society and in the entertainment circle, he was not so commercialized.

He always tried to break new ground and was dedicated to giving a voice to the underprivileged through his works.

This time, he brought a film called “The Last Pangolin”.

The lead was a little girl who could transform into a human, a young pangolin in disguise.

Wenyan was to play a human mother.

Though she had never been a mother in her two lifetimes, she was eager to continuously challenge herself, so she took on the role without hesitation.

Her fans didn’t want to see their favorite actress always playing the same old roles. Seeing Wenyan constantly challenging herself and carefully picking scripts, they felt very happy.

So, the day after the two announced their collaboration, posts praising and hyping them flooded the internet.

Some of the hype was malicious because Wenyan’s rapid rise to fame had ruffled some feathers, and those affected started scheming to suppress her.

But Wenyan didn’t pay attention to these so-called press releases.

She was now busy discussing the script with Zhou Junye and the crew.

The human mother she was about to play was a layered character, and having no experience as a mother, she needed to work hard.

These past few days she had been truly busy.

Wen Chengcai was also keeping himself occupied.

He used to dislike going online and barely knew how.

But since saving Wenyan, or more accurately, since harboring thoughts of making money from her, he had grown fond of checking entertainment news online.

He only followed news related to Wenyan.

These past few days, he didn’t even need to search – news about Wenyan’s new movie was pushed to him daily.

After several days and nights of research, Chengcai reached a conclusion.

He immediately shared his findings with his creditor.

“Dragon Brother, I’ve really found a way to get money this time, for real, if I’m lying, I’m a dog.”

Dragon Brother spat at him, “When the hell were you not a dog? Mangy dog, dead dog! Without money, you f***ing still love to gamble, and after gambling, you can’t pay your debts. Now what excuse have you found to fool me with?”

“It’s not fooling you, it’s real! Dragon Brother, just trust me one last time. Look, this is the information I collected about that actress.”

“Still thinking about that actress? Give it a rest. You’ve used up everyone’s phone numbers. Did she even bother to reply with a single word to you?! Wasted effort!”

“That was before! Now she can’t afford to ignore it! I’ve finally understood, she’s not afraid of us but fears online comments. There’s a term called public opinion, Brother, do you know it? And then there are fans and haters and all that stuff. I hung around in her haters’ circle for a few days, and I realize these big stars are most scared of scandals.

“Once someone slings mud at them, their world might collapse, and once it collapses, they’re done for, they won’t be able to land any more roles, and they’ll have to pay a lot for breaching contracts and such. So, they all fear scandals. We can release her dirty laundry, then demand money from her. For her bright future, she will surely pay to keep us quiet.”

“By then, it won’t just be a mere 200,000, I’ve heard those people throw out millions easily to suppress such scandals. Dragon Brother, hundreds, thousands! Not just a few hundred or thousand—a boatload of money, don’t you want it? It’s like picking it up for free!”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure! Even selling this news to some media outlets can make money.”

“I mean, are you sure you can really earn that much, up to several hundred million?”

“Selling to media definitely won’t bring that much, but if she contacts us, we can set our price.”

“That crap about her parents can count as her scandal? That’s bullshit!”

“Heh, Dragon Brother, don’t look down on me, I have a Think Tank! I’ve got him giving me ideas!”
