Apart from the veterans, An Wen was scolded the least among the actors. It was mainly because Ye Qiaofeng had such low expectations of her that he would get really surprised if An Wen performed slightly better than usual.

As time passed by, An Wen had gotten more skilled at acting that she would not be outshone by the veteran actors. The whole crew changed their opinions and praised her for her improvement.

One day, An Wen was sat on the ground reading her script like usual. Just as her weary eyes were about to shut themselves, Assistant Director Zhang came over, accompanied by another person.

“An Wen, this is Director Tang Zhiming!” Assistant Director Zhang introduced the man.

It went without saying that An Wen recognized Director Tang Zhiming. The netizens called him the No. 1 Director of Chinese Drama. The works he directed received an average point of 8.5 on Douban. He was also a mentor to Ye Qiaofeng.

“Pleasure to meet you, Director Tang!” An Wen scrambled to her feet and greeted the man.

“An Wen, you’re only 15 years old. Did I get it right?” Tang Zhiming asked in a benevolent tone.

“Yes,” An Wen replied obediently.

“I noticed that you’ve not got an assistant. Are you signed with any company?” Tang Zhiming enquired.

An Wen smiled before giving her answer. “I’m not signed to any company. I was going to think about that after we’re done filming this drama.”

“You’re a really talented young star with plenty of room to explore. I’ll be glad to give you some recommendations.”

No company would take her lightly if Tang Zhiming was to recommend her. However, in the entertainment industry, it was a taboo to obtain favors from big names or top-ranked personages in popular recognition. Every one would either subconsciously assume that there was a special relationship between the both of you and talk about you behind your back, or they would associate you with them if something bad were to happen.

If the news was made public by someone with malicious intent, the netizens’ opinions and critics would be enough to drown the voice of the innocents. It could even become a thorn in one’s acting career.
