66: I also have good news for you
"Great! Your idea is fantastic!" Wang Doudou couldn't help but exclaim when she heard Pan Han's idea.
"You think it's good too?" Pan Han was surprised by her reaction.
"Yes! I rarely watch domestic films and TV shows now, especially dramas, they're too fake," Wang Doudou said seriously.
"We are such a big country, yet our movies are being surpassed by Korea. How can we tolerate this?"
"We can't!" Wang Doudou's face instantly flushed. She had indeed watched many excellent Korean films, which made her feel ashamed.
"What should we do?"
"Let's do it!"
"Right! Let's do it!"
Their hands clasped tightly together. Though the goal was distant, they were determined to achieve it!
"However, I want to promote Yan Xiaoli as the female lead. She's very serious about acting!"
"You're the boss. You can promote whoever you want. I'll invest for you then."
"Then it's settled."
Ring, ring, ring! Just as the two of them were envisioning the future of Long Kingdom's film and television industry, Wang Doudou's phone rang.
She quickly ran back to answer the call.
"Hello? Dad!" Wang Doudou saw it was her father calling and quickly made a shushing gesture to Pan Han, telling him to be quiet.
"Oh, okay, got it." After a few brief sentences, Wang Doudou hung up the phone.
"My dad told me to go back quickly. He said there's something urgent at home," Wang Doudou said to Pan Han while getting dressed.
"It's already so late. What could be so urgent?" Pan Han saw that something was amiss and asked with concern.
"He didn't go into detail, just told me to go back."
"Are you driving yourself, or should I take you back?"
"I'll drive myself. You can stay the night if you want, or you can leave, it's up to you. I really don't have time, I need to go quickly." Wang Doudou grabbed her car keys and headed out.
Pan Han saw that the host was leaving, so there was no point in him staying. So he followed her out.
The two of them drove their respective cars and went their separate ways.
Pan Han returned to his shared apartment. It was almost 11 PM.
He took a shower and lay down on the bed. He found his heart was still sweet, with an indescribable sense of comfort. Today was the second happiest day of his more than twenty years of life.
Which day was the happiest? Nonsense, it must have been the day Chen Yun agreed to be his girlfriend!
Just then, Yan Xiaoli sent him a WeChat message.
"Pan Han, are you asleep?"
"Not yet. What's up, big star?"
"My filming wrapped early. I'm heading back to the capital tomorrow."
"Great! Too bad my car isn't fixed yet. I rented a car, so I'll drive that to pick you up."
"Any car is fine. But I have some good news to tell you."
"Oh?? You're not pregnant, are you!" Pan Han said with a mischievous smile.
"Get lost! Why are you never serious? Our director still can't stop talking about your performance. He wants to work with you on the next project," Yan Xiaoli retorted.
"Ah, is that all?"
"What? The director is actively seeking you out for a role, and that's not enough? What more do you want? I've been acting for so many years and never had this kind of treatment!"
"Actually, I also have some good news to tell you!" Pan Han said, feigning mystery.
"Huh? You're going to surprise me again?"
"Mm! I'm going to establish a film and television company, and you'll be the female lead in all the projects I invest in!"
Yan Xiaoli looked at her phone, then rubbed her eyes again, making sure she hadn't misread it!
What kind of monster was this Pan Han anyway? How could he suddenly change so much? Where did he get the money to start a film and television company? Was his ex-girlfriend Chen Yun blind?
Countless thoughts flashed through Yan Xiaoli's mind, unable to stop. She was a bit flustered now, not at all composed!
Pan Han, thousands of miles away, had already seen through her little thoughts across the screen. So he lit a cigarette and happily replied to her.
"What, you can't believe it, can you? You're dumbfounded, aren't you! You're bewildered, aren't you!"
"Pan Han, you know my attitude towards acting. So don't use this to trick me. I'll get angry!" Yan Xiaoli typed out this sentence tremblingly, her heart extremely nervous. She was afraid Pan Han was lying to her.
"I'm more serious about this than you are."
Upon seeing this sentence, Yan Xiaoli's tears welled up. Years of accumulated grievances, suppression, and defiance gushed out at this moment. Facing her phone, she cried like an idiot!
"Don't cry! Go to sleep quickly, we'll talk in detail when you get back tomorrow!" Pan Han guessed that Yan Xiaoli was already crying.
"I don't know what to say. I'll arrive at the South Station at 12 PM tomorrow. Come pick me up!"
"Okay, got it. I'm going to play ranked in King of Glory! You should go to sleep quickly." Pan Han closed WeChat, opened King of Glory, and happily started playing with friends.
Yan Xiaoli, far away in the film and television city, lay on her bed and quickly took screenshots to save the chat history!!!
After saving them, she read them several times, laughing one moment and crying the next.
She still felt it wasn't enough to vent her emotions, so she simply started rolling around on the bed.
...
At five o'clock the next morning, Yan Xiaoli, who hadn't slept all night, got up with dark circles under her eyes to catch the train. Pan Han, meanwhile, began his morning run.
The destinies of the two young people, striving in the big city, were drawing closer.
After his morning run, Pan Han did 1000 push-ups, 1000 sit-ups, and 1000 squats, only resting after he was drenched in sweat.
"Refreshing!"
Hot water sprayed from the showerhead, drenching Pan Han, and he couldn't help but let out a sound of pure comfort.
After his shower, he took the time to send a long order list to the supermarket manager, same as always, to be delivered to the suburban warehouse.
This time, he specifically bought a gasoline generator.
He planned to take it to the apocalypse to see if machines from this world could use the oil from the apocalypse.
If so, the next step would be to register an oil company overseas.
But this would definitely be more difficult, so he had to get the film and television company up and running first. Then he would look for suitable people to go overseas.
You eat your food one bite at a time; taking too big a step can lead to trouble.
He checked his watch; it was already past ten. Pan Han quickly went downstairs and drove his SUV to the train station to pick up Yan Xiaoli.
This time, Yan Xiaoli was much more open. Upon seeing Pan Han, she didn't even bother with her suitcase, directly leaping onto him, her feet leaving the ground as she wrapped her legs around his waist, and gave him a fierce bite.
"Be careful of your image. Maybe a fan is filming you. If it gets exposed online, you'll be finished," Pan Han said, wiping his mouth.
"I'm just an 18th-tier nobody, where would I get fans?" Yan Xiaoli tossed her hair, smiling at Pan Han, and couldn't help but kiss him again.
"Don't worry, you'll be a first-tier star soon!" Pan Han put her down and turned to pick up her suitcase.
"Where's the car? Let me drive, after all." Yan Xiaoli still preferred driving.
Pan Han tossed her the keys and obediently sat in the passenger seat.
"I wonder if bringing cars from the apocalypse over here would be a profitable venture!" Pan Han suddenly thought of the trucks that went 200 km/h and the off-road vehicles that went 400 km/h after he sat down.
"No, electric cars are popular now! These gasoline cars seem to be out of date."
Thinking of this, Pan Han suddenly slapped his thigh! Right, he should go to the apocalypse and see if there's any battery technology or new materials!
Yan Xiaoli, next to him, nearly peed herself from fright. She wiggled her bottom and quickly sat back properly.
