Su Chengjing felt helpless, but he couldn't force his mother, so he could only continue to think of a solution himself.

Ye Jin was unaware of the bitterness in Su Chengjing's heart; at this moment, she harbored a great deal of resentment towards Su Chengjing.
So much so that during this period she always used the excuse of being busy with work and having to work overtime to go home very late, in order to avoid seeing Su Chengjing and hearing his disgusting words.
Su Chengjing hopes that Ye Jin can come home more often, so that he can prove his sincerity through more contact.
However, seeing Ye Jin coming home later and later, even he, as slow-witted as he was, realized that Ye Jin was avoiding him.
Otherwise, given Ye Jin's easygoing personality, how could she possibly allow herself to work so late?
Su Chengjing really wanted to rush into Ye Jin's office and explain everything.
However, he ultimately postponed his actions. Ye Jin had already misunderstood him, and if he did this, Ye Jin would likely misunderstand him even more.
*
Ye Jin had no idea that Su Chengjing was waiting for her at home every day, wanting to explain things to her.
Ye Jin was still very happy when she didn't see Su Chengjing, because their project was progressing very smoothly. After the script outline was finalized, they entered the stage of casting the actors.
The initial rating for " The Phoenix First Rises " is S. After the director, costume and makeup artists, special effects artists, and actors are finalized, the platform will conduct a further rating based on the overall situation.
In the past, the most important factor in rating historical romance dramas was the actors. Therefore, everyone wanted to hire the biggest stars possible to raise the project rating, increase the project budget, and increase the drama's popularity, while ignoring the suitability of the actors for the roles.
However, now that Xu Yan has taken over and controls Fruit Video, she promised Ye Jin that regardless of the actors, as long as the script and production team are good, she would guarantee an S-level investment.
Under these circumstances, Ye Jin had more options when selecting actors, and could prioritize role suitability over star power.
She and Huo Yun even sent invitations to film academies to hold auditions for actors, while also looking for promising talents to sign with the company.
Of course, other large entertainment companies aren't stupid either. Nowadays, there are many child stars in film academies, and some students with outstanding talent, who even became famous as soon as they entered university, have already been signed by them. But there are still many students left.
The female lead, Xie Chuhuang, has a rather large age range, requiring the actor to portray her from age 16 to 32 when she ascends the throne. Naturally, the innocent and naive college students from the film academy are not suitable, but several well-developed supporting characters are a good choice for newcomers like them to debut.
Therefore, as soon as the invitation was sent out, many students from the film academy responded enthusiastically and came to participate in the auditions. Among them, they discovered several promising talents who seemed ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they found them to be quite talented and signed them.
With a large number of promising talents in her hands, Huo Yun's managerial instincts kicked in again. She began actively planning their future and scrambling for resources for them, finally forgetting her desire to persuade Ye Jin to return to the entertainment industry.
Ye Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she knew Huo Yun meant well, being nagged like a broken Sister-in-law Xianglin every day was still incredibly annoying.
Now that she was finally free, she was naturally overjoyed. At the same time, she decided that their company could also expand the scale of artist management, since many management companies have much higher profit margins than some film and television companies.
However, while other aspects are progressing smoothly, the casting of the female lead, the most crucial element, has run into trouble.
Due to budget constraints (mainly because they couldn't afford exorbitant salaries), they primarily selected actors from among the active second- and third-tier actors in the industry.
It's just that almost all top stars have their own talents to become famous, and those who aren't famous also have their own problems; they've looked around but haven't found anyone particularly suitable.
So they had to expand their search again to find the actress to play the female lead.
Fortunately, this time they finally found a few suitable actors, and are just waiting for the final auditions.
On this day, the main cast and crew of " The Phoenix First Rises " attended the audition ceremony. Ye Jin also got up early and arrived at the hotel conference room for the audition early in the morning.
There were three actresses who came to audition: Lu Shilan, a third-tier actress who is now somewhat famous; Jiang Ye, a second-tier actress who has just returned to work after giving birth; and Xin Yue, who has played many supporting roles in various film crews in Hengcheng.
Based on the information, they all seem to have a high opinion of Lu Shilan.
Although Lu Shilan is currently only considered a third-tier actress, considering that she has only been in the industry for three years, her career has already progressed very smoothly.
Moreover, she has several promising supporting roles in major IP dramas, and her sudden rise to fame could be just around the corner. In fact, many businesses have already signed her as a promotional ambassador, and they can make a fortune once she becomes a star.
Ye Jin always did her homework very well, and even searched for Lu Shilan online.
Although she's only a third-tier actress, Lu Shilan is quite popular, far exceeding her actual status; in fact, many discussions about her have appeared on forums.

[I'd like to recommend a young actress, Lu Shilan. Although she's not formally trained, her looks and acting skills are really good. While she may not be on par with award-winning actresses, her supporting roles in several period dramas have been outstanding.]
[+1 to the comment above, I like her a lot too, I've already followed her Weibo and supertopic and bought shares in her already.]
Three years ago, she was just a minor internet celebrity, not even in the entertainment industry yet. In just three years, she's already had several breakout roles and signed with a rapidly growing management company.
[I've been a fan for a long time, and she's become so much more beautiful in the past three years. I wonder what cosmetic procedures she's had done.]
[Indeed, she's made almost every right move in the past three years. Although she hasn't become a huge star, every single role she's played has been worthwhile. I almost suspect she's been reborn.]
