Chapter 1792: Chapter 1792: A Deeper Conspiracy

Fortunately, Luo Yuqing took the initiative to talk about the adaptation of the work, jolting Dai Shulan back from her wandering thoughts.

After chatting for a bit, Luo Yuqing suddenly suggested, “Ziling, how about when the TV series starts filming, we all take a role in it? Not necessarily the lead roles, maybe some minor roles or supporting parts. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal, right?”

“Taking on a role to fulfill a little TV filming fantasy, is that too much?” Luo Yuqing finished and laughed happily.

Luo Ziling chuckled, “You’re in charge of this project, if you want to act, isn’t that pretty simple for you?”

“You’re not interested?” Luo Yuqing was a bit surprised.

“Not really interested,” Luo Ziling shook his head, “Unless it’s the main role. What’s the point in being a side character or an extra?”

“Then you should play the lead role. With your current reputation, there’s no problem with you taking the lead. It might even use your fame to boost the show, making it popular even before it airs.” Luo Yuqing suddenly became enthusiastic, “That’s a pretty good idea. After all, you’re more handsome than the average person, and you have a nice demeanor. Just play the protagonist. I can adapt and act alongside you as the female lead, what do you think? Shulan can also play a role, maybe a major supporting one, or let you, the author, play the female lead, how about it? After all, you two really match each other, a perfect couple in the drama fits perfectly. Of course, your acting might be a bit lacking.”

“Luo Yuqing, what nonsense are you talking about,” Luo Ziling laughed and cursed, “You’re just talking nonsense without care.”

Luo Yuqing’s words made Dai Shulan a little tempted.

Although she didn’t have a dream of becoming a star and believed the entertainment industry is rampant with hidden rules and is quite dirty, if she has a chance to play a role in her own novel, or even the lead, she certainly wouldn’t refuse. Each character in the novel, especially the main ones, are her most cherished creations, and she understands their traits better than anyone.

After thinking briefly, Dai Shulan softly said, “I think if Ziling is willing to play the lead, he would certainly do well. You’re skilled in arts and literature, handsome, and have a very classical demeanor. Playing yourself naturally might make it brilliant.”

“If we don’t hire famous stars, we could save a lot of money,” Luo Yuqing quickly responded, “Why don’t we give it a try? Maybe as newcomers we can carry a big show. If that’s the case, we’d all become famous.”

The words from Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan also somewhat tempted Luo Ziling. But he didn’t express any clear stance, he just laughed and said, “Let’s wait until the script is finished. Anyway, there’s no rush. We’ve got a lot going on right now, let’s take things slowly!”

“Indeed,” Luo Yuqing nodded, “Let’s handle these pesky matters first, then we’ll discuss this!”

Luo Yuqing remembered something else, and in a lowered voice, she spoke to Luo Ziling and Dai Shulan, “Ziling, your mom told me yesterday that the Public Welfare Foundation for Armed Forces Personnel is about to register and start operating. They need to film a public service announcement. How about we try filming the commercial first? Just the three of us, what do you think? Through filming the commercial, we can see if we have the potential to act.”

“That’s fine too!” Luo Ziling did not oppose.

Luo Yuqing then asked Dai Shulan, “Miss Dai, are you willing to participate in the public service ad shoot for free as a famous online writer? You can treat it as an opportunity to promote yourself!”

Dai Shulan agreed without any hesitation, “If needed, I’m willing to take the time to participate in public welfare activities. Payment doesn’t matter. It’s the right thing to contribute to charity. If you really need me to join the shoot, just let me know, I’ll definitely participate.”

“That’s great,” Luo Yuqing flashed a proud smile.

Yesterday, while Luo Ziling was asleep, Luo Yuqing and Ling Ruonan discussed plans for the public welfare foundation’s promotional activities for over an hour. They decided that Luo Yuqing would be responsible for shooting the foundation’s promotional film, with Ling Ruonan providing one million in funding for the production.

One million for producing a promotional film can’t be said to be a lot, it’s actually quite tight.

The costs for directors, producers, actors, and staff are significant. If a famous director and renowned actors are hired, the costs could be several times over one million. However, Luo Yuqing didn’t think the one million was little, nor did she feel that Ling Ruonan was testing her.

It’s the first time being able to manage a million-dollar budget; Luo Yuqing was quite excited.

Born into the Li Family, although considered wealthy, due to her awkward status, she didn’t receive much of the dividends. Later, she outright refused the dividends from the Li Family. Her only income source was the money given by her mother, Wu Ningjing.

Even though born into a wealthy family, a million-dollar budget is still a significant amount for Luo Yuqing.

She originally didn’t want to discuss this with Luo Ziling today, considering he hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Coincidentally, Dai Shulan came over and mentioned it, so Luo Yuqing seized the opportunity to bring it up as well.

The three shared similar opinions and Luo Yuqing was quite happy about it, so she promptly instructed Luo Ziling to recover quickly, assuring him she would arrange these things and try to put them into action as soon as possible.

Worried about exhausting Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan didn’t keep him for too long. After chatting for a bit, they urged him to rest.

Luo Ziling indeed felt a bit sleepy, so he obediently went back to his room to sleep.

After chatting a while longer, Dai Shulan and Luo Yuqing parted ways and left.

As it turned out, right after Dai Shulan left, Luo Yuqing received a call from Fang Dongxun.

The purpose of the call was, of course, to check in on Luo Ziling’s condition.

The incident where Luo Ziling caused a scene at the Yang Family Villa had already spread within a small circle, and Fang Dongxun had heard about it too.

He didn’t rush to join the excitement immediately; now that the affair had mostly settled, and seeing Ling Ruonan had returned to work, he finally reached out to check in. Since he’d been interacting quite a lot with Luo Yuqing recently, he called her to inquire about the situation.

Upon learning that Luo Yuqing was staying with Luo Ziling at home, he promptly said he would come by to see Luo Ziling.

Luo Yuqing thought for a moment and didn’t refuse.

She happened to have something she wanted to discuss with Fang Dongxun, considering he’s a key member of the newly established Lingyun Film and Television.

About half an hour later, Fang Dongxun and Fang Qianqian arrived at Ling Ruonan’s villa to visit Luo Ziling.

When they arrived, Luo Ziling had just woken up from a short nap.

Hearing some noise downstairs, Luo Ziling emerged from his room.

Seeing that it was Fang Dongxun and Fang Qianqian visiting him, Luo Ziling immediately came down from upstairs.

“Mr. Luo, I must say, I admire your courage, actually daring to have a full-on brawl with your future father-in-law,” Fang Dongxun stood up, laughing and teasing Luo Ziling as he came down, “You don’t even know, that day when you fought with Qingyin’s dad, all of Yanjing was buzzing. Do you know, you’re now recognized as the bravest man alive, bar none.”

Fang Dongxun’s words left Luo Ziling quite astonished.

This affair spread so fast throughout the city, there must be someone behind it.

He became further convinced there was a deeper conspiracy at play.
