Chapter 770: Chapter 760: Debuting Right Here? Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

The next morning, Tang Nan was leisurely snacking on sunflower seeds in his office, holding the script of "Suspended Case" under the guise of preparation, to better immerse himself in the role.

"Xiao Hu, get me another glass of water!"

"Okay, President Tang!"

"Also, bring some nutty snacks. By the way, do we have strawberries or mulberries? Bring some of those too!"

"No problem, President Tang, I’ll get that ready right away!"

Tang Nan naturally bossed around Hu Xiaoling with ease. Although she’s Su Qing’s employee now, after all, she used to work under him, so he didn’t feel awkward at all.

Watching the busy little secretary, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes and say, "President Tang, you sure are having a leisurely time. But it feels like you don’t even have your own office anymore, why do you keep coming to mine?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Nan clicked his tongue, "Because I want to! Can’t I? This office was initially allocated to you by me; can’t I come and take a look? Besides, your taste isn’t bad. I’ve been reading this script since last night and found it quite interesting.

The character I’m playing, Officer Li, is actually a forensic doctor. Not only is he intelligent, but he’s also trained in freestyle fighting, with some combat skills, unlike the female supporting roles in other crime dramas, who only know how to cry or act all the time. This character setup is indeed very pleasing!

The male lead is a highly intelligent criminal investigation genius, who, because of family changes, is withdrawn and cold. Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, I quite like it. However, how come I feel it seems familiar?"

While speaking, Tang Nan pinched his chin as if thinking, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "Why do I feel like this character resembles you? Aren’t you the criminal investigation consultant in Jiang City? Do you want to play the male lead? Little brother, are you finally ready to make your debut? You look fine, why don’t you play it. I’ll ask the director to give us a kissing scene, make Xiaoyi mad. What do you think? Not bad, I’m such a genius, let’s do it!"

Su Qing: ...

Is this woman out of her mind? Him acting? He hasn’t even read the script, only the synopsis. Besides, he’s not an actor, and he’s such a big boss, would he stoop so low? How humiliating!

And a kissing scene? He feels like this woman’s trying to suck the yang energy out of him! But on second thought, listening to Tang Nan’s self-talk, he realized that the character indeed has a prototype, isn’t it a combination of Li Zijun and Zhou Ning?

There’s indeed some combat skill involved, also a forensic doctor, and the male lead is a criminal investigation genius, somewhat like him, just more silent and reserved, which is totally different from himself.

"Let me tell you, little brother, this role is perfect for you. Look at you, already being a criminal investigation consultant, quite popular online, and the key point is, you can form a CP with your sis here. Once we add a kissing scene and spend some money for a few trending searches online, create a CP, it’s sure to explode. I’ve even thought of a name, ’Tender Green Nan Twig’, how about that? But let’s agree first, with our relationship, you can’t ask for a fee, right?"

The more Tang Nan spoke, the more excited she became, as if reaching the climax... ahem, the peak of her life.

"Hey, it’s the last one you care about, right? They say even close siblings have clear accounts to settle, and you’re just picking on your people, huh! I’m such a big boss, my appearance fee’s exorbitant, talking in millions, can you afford me?" Su Qing retorted.

Now they want him to become an actor? Have they gone mad? Even though he admits he’s somewhat popular now, and today’s actors don’t need much acting skill, if he were to perform, he fears a decent film would turn into a dud.

After all, he’s a variable himself; without him it’s fine, but with him, who knows what level this film will end up at.

"Come on, I think you’re the most suitable for it, it’s okay, if you’re worried about Xiaoyi, I’ll talk to her. What’s the big deal about forming a CP, it’s all for the sake of art!"

Tang Nan stood up excitedly, came to his desk, and said with gleaming excitement.

"All for the sake of art? Ridiculous! Go play somewhere else. Besides, this is supposed to be a suspense and crime-solving drama, and you want to add romance? What, wearing police uniforms and falling in love? No wonder there are so many bad films nowadays, turns out this is your routine!" Su Qing said disdainfully as he sipped his water.

What nonsense, everything’s about love now?

Esports romance, campus romance, medical romance, horror romance, sci-fi romance, and now you’re messing with cops?

Being said like this, Tang Nan was at a loss for words, if it were really shot according to her thoughts, maybe it would end up being a bad film indeed.

"I... I didn’t think it through, just thought adding a romantic line would make it more interesting, no?"

"Alright, leave professional work to the professionals. If you want this project to do well, trust the director, instead of using your identity as an investor and star artist to randomly change scripts. Otherwise, it might turn out to be a mess!" Su Qing said calmly.

He felt it necessary to remind Tang Nan, after all, it’s her first time being an investor, and if this director is overly careful, he might indeed lack decisiveness.

"Hey brother, how’s the preparation going? Hey, what are you guys..."

At this moment, Wang Fan pushed the door open and entered, couldn’t help but ask upon seeing the scene.

Hearing this, Su Qing pushed Tang Nan aside and laughed, "Hey, old brother’s here, have a seat. I just recommended a script to Nan Nan, and she’s immersing herself in it. So, when are we heading out?"

Today’s the day for him to visit the set as an investor and check on progress. Honestly speaking, he’s somewhat excited.

"No rush, old brother. You’ve found a good script again? Let me take a look!"

He’s interested in the scripts Su Qing finds promising, after all, he’s from the industry too.

"Brother Wang, take a look, it’s this one!"

Tang Nan brought over the script with some excitement, trusting professional director Wang Fan more than Su Qing.

"’Suspended Case,’ huh, a suspense crime investigation piece indeed!"

"Yeah, he’s interested in it, and since I’m currently free, I thought I could invest and act. I just even tried to get him to play the male lead. Brother Wang, let me tell you, the male and female lead roles are like this..."

Blah blah blah, Tang Nan’s chirpiness didn’t stop as she roughly explained the plot and began discussing the personalities and settings of the characters.

Last night, she was reading the script until late into the night, although she couldn’t go through it all, she knew more than Su Qing.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fan nodded, took another look at Su Qing, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Old brother, if you really want to debut, this role truly suits you. You’re Jiang City’s criminal investigation consultant, aren’t you? You should have a better understanding of such a role; why not give it a try?"

"Old brother, you’re on this too? Do you see me having the time? Besides, I don’t want to debut! I don’t even earn as much as I do now, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?" Su Qing spread his hands and smiled.

"True, you don’t lack money like we poor souls working hard for some earnings. So, are the three of us going together today, or..."

Saying this, Wang Fan looked at Tang Nan, since you’ve arranged to invest, do you have time today?

"Together, together, the director on the other side said he’d return this afternoon, so there’s nothing this morning, let’s go take a look together," Tang Nan waved her hand grandly.

But in her heart, she felt miserable; her Qing Nan CP was over before it even began. It seemed her luck wasn’t as good as Xiaoyi’s.
