"Of course the female lead will be you, Yifei."
Hearing Xu Yifei's suggestion, Fu Shan didn't hesitate and replied immediately.
Then he paused slightly, smiling at her:
"As for the male lead… Yifei, what do you think if I play it myself?"
At this, Xu Yifei, Jiang Jinsong, and Li Lilin were all stunned.
"Fu Shan… are you serious? You really want to play the male lead—Xu Zeyan—in Weiwei Smiles and Overwhelms the City Unlimited?"
Li Lilin's eyes widened in shock, her beautiful gaze echoing Xu Yifei's astonishment.
Jiang Jinsong shared the same reaction, but with a little more hesitation, carefully analyzing:
"This male lead Xu Zeyan… in terms of appearance, Mr. Fu, you could absolutely fit the role. But…"
In the script, Xu Zeyan starts as a campus heartthrob and later becomes a domineering CEO.
He is described as a stunningly handsome young man, loving and devoted to the female lead without regret.
Fu Shan himself was young, handsome, wealthy, and a CEO in real life—he could easily relate to the role.
His feelings for Xu Yifei were also just like Xu Zeyan's—loyal and indulgent.
From looks, age, and emotional disposition, Fu Shan was perfectly suited for the role.
That was what Jiang Jinsong was certain of.
What he worried about… was Fu Shan's acting ability.
He knew Fu Shan had never received formal acting training or experience. Could he really pull it off? Acting wasn't something just anyone could do.
Xu Yifei was the last to speak.
Unlike Li Lilin and Jiang Jinsong's hesitation, she simply smiled after a moment of shock:
"I think Fu Shan is very suitable for Xu Zeyan. And I believe he will perform the role brilliantly!"
Her trust in him was absolute.
If Fu Shan said he would play Xu Zeyan, then he would do it well.
"Uh, alright then… Mr. Fu, you can try a screen test."
Hearing Xu Yifei's words, the hesitant Jiang Jinsong carefully spoke, but when he met the burning, affectionate gaze of the young couple, he quickly changed his mind:
"Fine, let's just shoot it. Xu Yifei will play female lead Lin Weiwei, and Mr. Fu… you'll be the male lead Xu Zeyan."
He had realized: the drama was a pretext. The real goal for Fu Shan was to publicly dote on Xu Yifei, to show their romance on the set, and enjoy some sweet moments together.
And, after all, Fu Shan was the investor. The boss with the money calls the shots.
Let them be happy.
It wasn't uncommon for wealthy investors to star in productions they funded—sometimes to play themselves, sometimes to promote their loved ones, or simply to show off affection.
Though most of these shows would be mocked after airing, their main purpose wasn't critical acclaim.
Jiang Jinsong could only admire Fu Shan's courage.
"Then it's decided. AiFei Entertainment will officially produce Weiwei Smiles and Overwhelms the City Unlimited, with both of us as the leads."
Seeing no objections from Jiang Jinsong or Xu Yifei, Fu Shan nodded decisively.
He also appreciated Xu Yifei's near-unconditional trust.
"Don't worry, Yifei. I won't disappoint you. I will play Xu Zeyan perfectly."
Fu Shan was a practical man.
With ample funds, the pre-production was completed swiftly, and filming officially began.
Fu Shan and Xu Yifei dove into the shoot wholeheartedly, often working long, nonstop hours.
Jiang Jinsong, who had been worried before, finally relaxed.
He soon realized his concerns had been unnecessary.
Fu Shan's acting was excellent.
Frankly, he outshone many top-tier young male actors, and his performance rivaled veteran actors.
On set, Director Lu Li looked at the camera with satisfaction, giving Fu Shan and Xu Yifei an "OK" gesture:
"OK! Good! Prepare for the next scene!"
Cameraman Yuan Fei smiled, saying,"Director Lu, Fu Shan's acting is really impressive. With him, filming becomes smooth and enjoyable. We really struck gold this time, haha."
Lu Li nodded in agreement:"Yes, indeed. Fu Shan's acting is remarkable. Working with him is a pleasure. Plus, he's young, handsome, and charismatic. His future is limitless. He has the potential to become a superstar and an award-winning actor."
Lu Li was a respected director with a string of popular, well-received projects under his belt.
Initially, he had been dissatisfied with casting Fu Shan as the male lead.
A young man with no experience, no formal training, cast in a major role? Lu Li thought the crew was desperate to ride the hype.
Especially considering Fu Shan's past notoriety with Xu Yifei—it had been all over the internet.
Now, from children to the elderly, everyone knew the national goddess had a boyfriend named Fu Shan—a former laborer.
Casting an inexperienced laborer as a male lead seemed absurd.
Before filming, Lu Li had his doubts and complaints.
But now, the truth was clear.
Fu Shan was a natural talent!
His acting gift was undeniable.
This young man was born for this industry!
