Chapter 227: Chapter 227: How Much Energy?

This message appeared in the actors’ group chat, and in no time, it was buzzing with excitement.

Someone thought they misread and asked again, "Is Prime Minister Shen referring to the real Wan Chao Street?"

"The antique-level one that limits daily tourist flow?"

"I don’t know, do they really allow film crews there?"

"As far as I know, a documentary crew filming the history of Yinhe Palace has shot there before."

"But that was approved by the official department for historical research, and we’re just a TV drama!"

"If we can really film on the real Wan Chao Street, wouldn’t I be able to touch those antiques personally?"

"Haha, are you really thinking that? Aren’t you afraid of accidentally breaking something and having to compensate immensely?"

"Uh, maybe not then."

Except for Xu Ling’an, who was not familiar with the situation, the rest of the group’s messages came in rapidly.

Wei Minmin turned her head abruptly and looked over, "Sister Lingxi, Mr. Shen, can he really get the lease approval for the ’real’ Wan Chao Street?"

Half in disbelief, yet knowing Mr. Shen isn’t one to speak frivolously without certainty, she urgently needed confirmation from Jiang Lingxi.

Jiang Lingxi waved the phone in her hand to her.

Shen Yunqing finished work earlier, and after removing makeup, was picked up by Assistant He. If she wanted to ask him, she had to message him.

However, the message she sent to Shen Yunqing was: "Will it be difficult?"

Just from looking at other messages in the group, there’s no need to ask others, as it’s apparent that the ’real’ Wan Chao Street is not a replica, easy to lease.

It’s a piece of history that must be carefully preserved!

Shen Yunqing, en route to Yunxi Building, ignored Wei Xiao’s private chat after exiting the actor group, first reading Jiang Lingxi’s message. He couldn’t help but smile and replied, "Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult."

He had been involved in the restoration work of Wan Chao Street. Some valuable antiques on Wan Chao Street were donated by him voluntarily.

At that time, he was just thinking of recreating the magnificent scene of Wan Chao Street from a thousand years ago, without caring about any heritage witness certificate the department awarded him, nor did he intend to use it for convenience.

But if the grand scene of Wan Chao Street could be recreated in the drama Your Majesty personally performed in, it could also be a different kind of fulfillment.

"I’ll use my seal to file the application soon; it should be approved quickly."

The relic management department of Wan Chao Street is affiliated with the Yinhe Palace Museum, which would certainly give him this face.

Jiang Lingxi put away her phone and nodded to the anxiously waiting Wei Minmin beside her.

"No need to change the announcement."

Wei Minmin couldn’t contain herself, letting out a cheer.

"Mr. Shen, he’s really powerful!"

Jiang Lingxi, hearing her comment, raised an eyebrow.

Who wouldn’t agree?

Even she didn’t have such clout!

"Bang!" Wei Xiao simply snapped his laptop shut, staring intently at his phone screen. Seeing ’The other party is typing’ at the top, he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

He was preparing to revise the announcement but was unexpectedly surprised by the next second’s big news.

His initial reaction, like everyone in the group, was disbelief. But compared to others, he knew a bit more about Shen Yunqing.

Within the circle, this crew project was already considered the top project of the year. But it depends on who you compare it to. Compared to the massive assets under Shen Yunqing, if he wanted, he could easily create several projects rivaling "Empress Yuan Zhao."

He managed to have this man in the leading male role, thanks to Jiang Lingxi.

Though the exact relationship between them is unclear, one thing is certain; without Jiang Lingxi, the crew wouldn’t have been able to invite Shen Yunqing.

Yet even he didn’t realize this individual’s capabilities were beyond his imagination.

Getting a lease for Wan Chao Street is not easy, and with only one day left, applying and getting departmental approval for the lease was a daunting task even if he asked his dad for help.

"Dingdong!" At this moment, the phone notification sounded extraordinarily crisp, and Wei Xiao immediately looked at the screen.

"I’ll get the filming permit tomorrow, and have it delivered to the crew. Director Wei, see you on Wan Chao Street the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

He replied with three OKs and an exclamation mark before laughing heartily in his office.

Though not his first historical drama, "Empress Yuan Zhao" was his first time filming in a real ancient architectural preservation district, allowing him to flawlessly recreate Wan Chao Street from a thousand years ago. This would create a significant buzz online during promotional previews.

How could he not be overjoyed?

Quickly, within the buzzing discussion of whether Shen Yunqing’s words were genuine, Director Wei, the group admin, mentioned everyone, "The day after tomorrow’s schedule remains unchanged."

The group fell silent instantly.

Not being able to rent the replica Wan Chao Street, yet adhering to the filming schedule, meant only one thing: Mr. Shen truly secured the lease for the real Wan Chao Street for the crew!

"How, how did Mr. Shen manage to do it?"

She Man placed her phone on the table and upon hearing her assistant’s incredulous voice, looked towards Jiang Lingxi sitting not far away and said flatly, "I want to know too."

After surveying the group, all the actors were still in shock and excitement; even Wei Minmin couldn’t restrain herself. Only Jiang Lingxi seemed unsurprised.

It’s hard not to think more about it.

Moreover, Mr. Shen, who could lease Wan Chao Street, must possess tremendous resources.

More frustratingly, she couldn’t even imagine it!

As everyone else was excited about filming at the real Wan Chao Street the day after tomorrow, Jiang Lingxi noticed Xu Ling’an glancing at his phone and then showing signs of tension on his face.

"An’an?"

Xu Ling’an withdrew his gaze from the message he just received and took a deep breath, "I just got a message that I can check my college entrance exam results tomorrow."

Though he’d estimated his score with the publicly available answers, the thought of checking the official results the next day made him understandably nervous.

Jiang Lingxi paused, "What time?"

"Nine in the morning."

Jiang Lingxi had the schedule imprinted in her mind, "Your first scene tomorrow is at ten thirty, just in time to check the results first." Noting the nervousness the young man couldn’t quite hide, "Want me to check with you?"

"Yes." Xu Ling’an nodded vigorously, reassured by the thought of having his sister with him.

"Xiao Xi, come here for a moment." Raising her head, Jiang Lingxi saw Director Wei, previously worried, now beaming brightly as he called her over.
