Chapter 33

"...Pupu, I don't think there's a role suitable for you in this show, right?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was less than 1.3 meters tall, with a bob cut and looking extremely cute, Xu Feng said with a strange expression.

The information sheet in Xu Feng's hand had the following written about this little girl who was no more than ten years old:

[Name: Wang Shengdi]

[Age: 9 years old]

[Representative works: Played Pupu in "The Bad Kids," played young An Ran in "Sister," played Yachiru Kusajishi in "Bleach"]

That's right, the little girl in front of him was the little female lead of another hit suspense drama this year.

Now people online were commenting that if there was any other show this year that could go toe-to-toe with "Bleach," it would only be "The Bad Kids."

Of course, that was just talk.

Because even though "The Bad Kids" was a breakout hit, suspense was, at the end of the day, a niche genre.

And an action film like "Bleach" basically had no barrier to entry for viewing.

But the performances of the three child actors born in the 00s in it were perfect.

And Xu Feng had also taken a liking to Wang Shengdi's perfect performance as Pupu.

He wanted her to play another little loli in "Bleach"—

Kenpachi Zaraki's partner, Yachiru Kusajishi.

"Brother Xu Feng! Our school is on holiday today, so I came to find you to play!"

The child actor born in the 10s, Wang Shengdi, seemed possessed by Momo Hinamori, and she hopped and skipped in front of Xu Feng with a fangirl look.

Xu Feng blinked with a strange expression, but still picked up Wang Shengdi with a doting look.

"Brother Xu Feng, is your new work really not filming 'Bleach'? I'm still looking forward to the duel between Aizen and the protagonist later."

Wang Shengdi's lightbulb-like big eyes looked at Xu Feng with full longing.

Xu Feng understood; this little girl was here to urge for updates.

"No, it's already in preparation... Also, I've told you many times, you should call me 'Uncle'."

Facing such a cute little girl, Xu Feng wouldn't give her a cold look like he did to Jin Chen; he let her sit on his lap and gently touched her little head.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jinmai, who had also come to join the fun because of the weekend school holiday, felt her internal alarm bells ringing loudly.

Trying to steal the daughter position from me, are you?!

PS: Besides hot-blooded battle anime, I also want to film some cute, casual anime, like "Ms. Vampire who lives in my house," "Xu Feng's Dragon Maid," "Cells at Work," etc. Let's see what everyone thinks.

So I'm thinking of signing some child actors born in the 10s. You LSP (lecherous people) in the comment section, restrain yourselves; don't think about making the protagonist do anything to those born in the 10s.

"That's fine, Brother Zhao, but there's one thing I hope you remember: on the set, you must listen to my command in everything."

After a day of auditions, Xu Feng said to the martial arts superstar Zhao Wenzhuo, who had just finished his audition.

"Thank you, Director Xu, thank you, Director Xu."

Zhao Wenzhuo wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

Much like Jiao Enjun's situation, as he aged, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to get good scripts.

Having to be so subservient to a young man more than a dozen years younger than himself, Zhao Wenzhuo truly felt that times had changed.

Whoever has the traffic is the boss.

He didn't dare to slack off just because he was a senior.

If he didn't perform well, it was very likely he would be replaced directly.

Don't think Xu Feng didn't have the guts; Hu Ge, who played Ichigo Kurosaki, had stated in an interview two days ago that he was very nervous filming under Xu Feng.

He bluntly said that Xu Feng's requirements were too high, and he was afraid that if he didn't act well somewhere, Xu Feng would replace him.

When leaving, Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't help but take two more looks at the little loli Wang Shengdi, born in the 10s, who was sitting on Xu Feng's lap.

He thought to himself that young people these days play quite wildly.

After most of the lead actors were confirmed, Zhao Jinmai said with some worry:

"Brother Director Xu, the choice for the female lead hasn't been decided yet?"

"If there's been no reply for so long, it's nine times out of ten a rejection."

Xu Feng shrugged, his face not showing much regret.

As he spoke, Xu Feng picked up Wang Shengdi from his lap and put her down, saying to the two girls:

"Alright, you two go home quickly. Be careful that if you haven't finished your homework, you'll be called to the school with your parents."

"Oh~"

Zhao Jinmai pouted.

"Brother Xu Feng, I'm scared to go home alone. Can you take me back?"

Wang Shengdi held Xu Feng's hand and said pitifully.

Zhao Jinmai's eyes widened instantly.

You little green tea!

Oh no, little tiny green tea.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Jinmai always felt that when this girl glanced at her, there was a faint sense of mockery.

"...Fine, I have nothing to do later anyway."

Xu Feng nodded.

On the way home, Zhao Jinmai looked pouting.

The agent driving the car saw this scene through the rearview mirror and was speechless.

A 14-year-old middle school student and a 9-year-old elementary school student fighting for the favor of a man approaching thirty?

Even South Korea couldn't write such a dog-blood plot.

And on the way to take Wang Shengdi home, Xu Feng wasn't idle either, saying to Wang Shengdi, who was sitting in the passenger seat:

"Pupu, have your parents agreed to let you sign with my company?"

Because of Wang Shengdi's perfect performance in "The Bad Kids," Xu Feng was used to calling her by this name.

"My mom and dad want to talk to you, Brother Xu Feng. Do you have time today? You can even have a meal at our house."

Wang Shengdi said with anticipation.

"Uh... alright."

To be honest, Xu Feng really wanted to sign Wang Shengdi, this little loli who was second to none in acting among those born in the 10s.

Although Zhao Jinmai was also very young, she was already a big loli.

In two-dimensional anime, the "loli" attribute is indispensable in every work.

Wang Shengdi was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Facts proved that being handsome is really beneficial.

Although Xu Feng's reputation in the circle wasn't great, after meeting Wang Shengdi's parents and having a meal.

The two finally agreed to let Wang Shengdi sign with Xu Feng's Two-Dimensional Film and Television.

The father's reaction was more resistant, but the mother kept helping Xu Feng speak.

After Xu Feng promised repeatedly that he would definitely take good care of Wang Shengdi, Wang's father's expression improved a bit.

And after Xu Feng left Wang Shengdi's house, he immediately posted a blog post.

It was mainly to appease the "Bleach" fans whose protests online were becoming increasingly heated.

Today, not just Wang Shengdi, at least hundreds of "Bleach" fans gathered downstairs at his company to hold signs and protest.

Good grief, they've started a revolution, haven't they?

Xu Feng also realized that the influence generated by "Bleach" was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

If he didn't find a way to appease these fanatical fans, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause.

["Bleach: Arrancar Arc" filming location is decided at the Potala Palace in Xizang. There is still a lot of preparatory work to be done, so please wait a little longer.]

Below Xu Feng's blog post, there was also an attached photo of the magnificent and majestic white palace.

That's right, it was the tourist holy land known to everyone in the Dragon Kingdom, and also the filming location for "Bleach: Arrancar Arc"—

The Potala Palace!

The background of the "Arrancar Arc" was basically concentrated in Aizen's new stronghold, Las Noches.
