The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 916: Perhaps this is talent?

"So, is there such a huge difference between playing a supporting role and a leading role?"

Shen Yan was stunned by Brother Li’s theory and his understanding of the entertainment industry’s rules deepened once again.

"My goodness, at this growth rate, she could break through sixty million even before the movie stops screening!"

What does sixty million fans mean? It means Tang Shu can definitely squeeze into the ranks of top-tier celebrities.

"It’s been just about two years since the boss debuted, right? Her progress is unbelievably fast... Hey, what are you looking at?"

After mumbling to himself for a while, Shen Yan became curious as the person beside him didn’t respond. He slid on his two-pointed legs and the chair with him floated towards the side, turning his gaze towards the computer screen in front of them.

The screen’s homepage displayed an acting skill ranking and Tang Shu’s name was prominently placed on the first page.

"A ranking for actresses’ acting skills? The boss has already made it into the top five?!"

Oh my, how on earth did she climb up there?

Shen Yan felt his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest, his heart rate seemed to be reaching 180!

Xiao Li responded indifferently, "To be exact, she’s ranked third. This is her best achievement so far."

What? Are you only concerned about what place she’s in, or whether the boss can break her previous record?!

The dizzy Shen Yan felt like he was about to lose it. "I’m saying, Brother Li, can you not be so calm? It’s quite frightening."

More importantly, you’re making me feel like I’m some kind of nincompoop who can’t handle any excitement!

"Then what do you want me to do?" The other party withdrew his gaze, looking at him indifferently.

"... Alright, you win."

Shen Yan silently scooted back to his place, still feeling unsettled inside.

As the person involved in the event, Tang Shu was currently sitting in a corner on the first floor of the library with two buddies, completing their papers.

The Medical College had already gone on holiday in mid-July, and it was now summer vacation. However, because some juniors and seniors in the school were interning, the laboratory building was still bustling, so the library, classrooms, and cafeteria remained open to the public.

As noon struck, Cheng Ranran’s chubby hands were still feverishly writing, and Ye Xiaohui was no exception, pouring all her energy into taking notes.

"Xiao Shu, where are your notes for Herbal Medicine Class? Let me take a look!"

"Here."

Tang Shu pushed the notebook in front of her, and two small heads immediately huddled over it.

"My God, how did you manage that? You’re hardly ever at school, so why are your notes more detailed than ours?"

"Not really, didn’t you notice? My notebook is thinner than any of yours, obviously, I’ve taken the least notes."

"But you’ve included every key point that Teacher Lu said we must know for the exam!"

Cheng Ranran marveled continuously. They were all about to enter their junior year, and while others seldom appeared in classrooms apart from professional courses, how could they accurately capture all the key points for the exams, while they, just ordinary people, ended up taking many notes that might not even be useful?

That’s too big a gap—

Ye Xiaohui flipped another page to supplement her own notebook, "That’s true, your notes are the thinnest, but indeed the most comprehensive."

Having written down the last character, Cheng Ranran eased the soreness in her chubby hands and let out a long sigh.

"Oh God, even though you were reliant on my notes for exams back in our freshman year, why did I end up like this in just one short year?"

Can this world ever get better?

Tang Shu was silent for a moment, "Maybe this is talent?"

"Looking for a beating!"

The next second, chubby hands came striking, followed by a plump little figure pouncing towards her.

When the three of them finished brushing up on knowledge points and walked together to the cafeteria ready to grab a meal, Su Chejun was sitting opposite them with a plate, along with two other familiar faces who had also just sat down.

"Hey~~~ beauties!"

"Huh? President, long time no see, weren’t you guys heading off to internships lately?"

Bumping into each other during summer break at the cafeteria was purely luck. The only reason Tang Shu and her friends were together was that they all lived in the capital, planning to complete their summer papers together.

So how come Su Chejun and his two comrades, supposedly busy with internships, popped up?

Cheng Ranran’s eyes widened at the sight across, making the usually thick-skinned club president blush.

"We postponed our internships and are currently preparing to conduct field research in Yun Province. We came today to confirm the headcount."

Su Chejun briefly explained the situation, and Tang Shu’s group understood.

The Adventure Club is not the small six-person group it used to be; it has successfully expanded to 30 people over the past six months. This long summer holiday is a great opportunity that Su Chejun can’t afford to miss.

So... they first approached the dean, expressing their wish to observe the growth environment of Exquisite Plants in Yun Province, secured a reference letter, and planned to take people to Yun Province.

Today, they gathered everyone at school for a small meeting to discuss the plan.

"Wow~~~ you’re actually going to Yun Province, I had no idea!"

"Um... initially, we planned to leave on July 15th. That was before your sophomore exams had started. This time, we intended to take juniors and seniors with us."

Su Chejun felt a little embarrassed, as if he had betrayed his brothers, "But things turned out to be much more complicated than I imagined. Just getting temporary work permits from Cloudscape Group took quite a while, pushing our plans back by a month."

If you don’t step into society, you’ll never know how brutal it can be. he had learned this firsthand.

"Who would have thought that in a big corporation, a standard procedure could take a month?"

They thought it would only take two or three days!

Cheng Ranran and Ye Xiaohui looked at each other, then cast a sympathetic glance at Su Chejun.

"So, you initially planned to head to Yun Province on the first day of summer break? But due to complicated paperwork, you had to leave campus first and plan accordingly?"

"Yep."

Tang Shu laughed, "That’s how big companies work. It’s the same when I sign contracts with production companies. If it’s a small company, it can be settled in two or three days. But with a big one, it might take a month."

The bigger the company, the more intricate it is. Once the online procedures are set in order, a simple approval requires multiple levels of checking, which is why it takes time. The back and forth prolongs what could have been wrapped up quickly.

"So speaking of which, are you guys planning to go along?"

Su Chejun was hoping to bring the three of them along, after all, they were old friends, and the six of them from the small original group knew each other best. Going together, they could look out for each other.

Tang Shu spread her hands helplessly, "I probably won’t have time recently, I have a TV drama airing in September."

"I do, I do, Ye Zi and I both do!"

Cheng Ranran raised her hand high, "Are you sure we can still make it if we sign up now?"
