Chapter 71 June 4th is coming
Upon hearing this, Yin Helin couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Although HD Company doesn't have many new screenwriters signed, each one of them is actually very promising.
But he had never heard Kim Eun-sook praise any of her juniors in the company like that before.
Seeing his expression, Kim Eun-sook laughed and said, "I'm not joking, Xiao Ran really does have that potential."
"During this time, I often chatted with him and found that his thinking was very flexible, and even had a forward-looking vision that was ahead of its time."
"Sometimes I feel enlightened when I talk to him, and I benefit a lot from it, so you might as well focus on nurturing him further."
For example, when she was stuck on the theme of her story, Chen Ran's line, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight," instantly opened up her thinking.
Later, when Kim Eun-sook was thinking about what kind of character settings to give the male and female leads, it was Chen Ran who suggested that she might as well break out of the framework of the traditional prince and Cinderella story.
Create a male protagonist who is straightforward and has always been secretly or overtly fond of the female lead.
The female lead can be portrayed as someone who avoids the male lead's feelings because of her family background, but at crucial moments she does not run away and responds to the male lead's feelings, making her a very brave character.
When discussing the creative process itself, Chen Ran would also offer some angles and perspectives that caught her eye.
What Kim Eun-sook didn't know was that the reason she felt this way was because Chen Ran had read the complete script and had been studying some knowledge for 25 years.
This is a perspective and theory from the future, and when applied to the present, it naturally possesses a forward-looking vision that transcends its time.
Upon hearing this, Yin Helin's face showed a solemn expression.
He had no doubt about Kim Eun-sook's judgment, and he himself could see Chen Ran's potential.
He just didn't expect Kim Eun-sook to have such a high opinion of Chen Ran.
From this perspective, Chen Ran's importance needs to be elevated even further.
Although HD has developed rapidly in the past two years, it also has significant problems.
That is, the company is heavily reliant on Kim Eun-sook's fame.
From the perspective of a company's long-term development, this is not a good thing.
They recruit promising new screenwriters to cultivate new talent and reduce the company's dependence on Kim Eun-sook.
If Chen Ran is truly as Kim Eun-sook said, his future achievements will not be inferior to hers, and may even surpass hers.
That would be of immense benefit to HD Company.
Having such potential does not mean that Chen Ran will necessarily reach that level in the future.
But even with such potential, it's worth investing resources in.
This is similar to investors investing in companies with potential.
After thinking for only a few seconds, Yin Helin made his decision.
They devoted themselves to nurturing Chen Ran.
He looked at Kim Eun-sook and said, "I understand. I will mentor him well."
Kim Eun-sook laughed and said, "Don't you think Xiao Ran's Chinese citizenship is a problem?"
Yin Helin waved his hand: "What's the big deal? If Xiaoran really reaches your level, will this still matter?"
In capitalist countries, as long as you can bring enough benefits to people, who cares about your nationality, except for a few stubborn old fogies?
At that time, great scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for you.

The camera returns to the conference room.
When Yin Helin asked for his opinion, Chen Ran did not hesitate.
"I think Krystal Jung is more suitable to play the role of Song Ha-jung."
He presented the reasons he had prepared in advance.
First and foremost, and most directly, is that Krystal Jung's acting is superior to Park Se-young's, which is absolutely beneficial to the presentation of the script.
Secondly, Krystal Jung is a popular member of f(x) and has her own fan base. Her popularity is far higher than that of Park Se-young when she first debuted, which can bring a certain amount of attention to the drama and save a lot of publicity costs.
Compared to these benefits, the negative effects that Producer Jiang mentioned earlier are actually insignificant.
Chen Ran concluded, "I think choosing Krystal Jung is a more advantageous choice for both the production company and the TV station."
Producer Jiang's face darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at the deputy director of the television bureau next to him.
The deputy director frowned, then looked at Yin Helin.
"What if Park Se-young's agency was willing to cover part of the production costs and provide resources for the drama's subsequent promotion?"
Yin Helin smiled and said, "HD Company is fully capable of bearing the production costs of the TV series on its own, and we can also provide some of the subsequent publicity resources."
This is a direct rejection of the other party's proposed conditions.
The deputy director frowned slightly, then looked at director Li Yingfu: "What's Director Li's opinion?"
Li Yingfu's eyes flickered for a moment: "I respect the screenwriter's opinion. The production team always prioritizes the screenwriter's opinion."
The deputy director's face darkened, but he nodded in the end, leaving behind the words, "Then let's decide it this way," before leaving the meeting room with Producer Jiang.
Chen Ran and the others didn't show much expression either.
With several key roles already decided, it's no longer necessary for him to stay or leave.
Thus, the final cast for "School 2013" was finalized.
It's worth mentioning that Liu Xiaoying, the actress originally slated to play the tomboyish third female lead Li Jiangzhu, was replaced by Chen Ran.
Two nights ago, when he was using his 25-year-old phone to check the future information of several main actors, he discovered that Liu Xiaoying had a younger sister named Liu Huaying.
The two are biological sisters and will be the masterminds behind the Tara 80s incident in the future.
Chen Ran would naturally not use someone like that.
This is also one of the advantages of a 25-year-old mobile phone: it allows you to check an actor's future information and avoid some potential risks in advance.
And speaking of Tara, when he saved Choi Sulli last time, Tara's maknae Park Jiyeon seemed to be in that van as well.
Realizing his thoughts had wandered, Chen Ran quickly pulled himself back and handed the final cast list to his assistant, Han Jiayuan.
With the cast finalized, the next step is for Han Jiayuan to notify each actor's agency so they can come to HD Company to sign contracts.
After the meeting, Chen Ran stood up and expressed his gratitude to Yin Helin and Li Yingfu respectively.
Yin Helin patted him on the shoulder with a smile, while Li Yingfu laughed and said, "It will be nice to work with you in the future, Xiao Ran."
"Definitely," Chen Ran replied with a smile.

"Hahaha, thank you, Chen Ran."
It was past 11 p.m., inside the bedroom of the villa.
Krystal's happy laughter came from Jessica's phone, which was on speakerphone.
She was overjoyed to learn that Krystal Jung from 12 had been confirmed to star in "School 2013" after finishing a day of filming.
"You're welcome," Chen Ran replied with a smile.
Jessica chimed in, "Alright, you've had a long day, go to sleep early."
She has something very important to do tonight, so even her younger sister has to take a backseat for now.
"Alright, you guys should get some rest too. See you when I get back."
As soon as the call ended, Chen Ran finished applying body lotion to Jessica's right leg.
Jessica withdrew her right leg and nodded in satisfaction.
"Great, great, I'll have you apply body lotion for me from now on."
Chen Ran chuckled, "So you really don't consider me an outsider, do you?"
Could you do more than just wipe my legs?
After tidying up, the two leaned against the headboard and scrolled through their phones.
After a while, Jessica's voice suddenly rang out:
"Chen Ran".
"Um?"
"It'll be midnight in five minutes. Once it's past midnight, it will be one month and one day since we started living together."
Chen Ran nodded: "Yes, I know."
He was actually waiting for midnight.
Jessica turned her head to look at Chen Ran's profile, pursed her lips, and suddenly felt a little nervous, but more excited and expectant.
She had already planned it all out. As soon as midnight struck, she would pounce on Chen Ran and pin him down.
Time passed by, and the bedroom grew quieter and quieter, so quiet that the two of them could almost hear the ticking of the second hand.
Soon, it was 23:59 PM.
Jessica took a deep breath, pressed her lips together, and began to gather her strength.
Chen Ran seemed to sense something and began to take deep breaths, trying to be in his best condition later.
"bite"
I think I heard a "ding" sound.
Finally, the time jumped from 23:59 to 00:00.
The two, who had made thorough preparations, were just about to take action.
Suddenly, a strange feeling of dizziness came over me.
The two of them fainted without any resistance.
Suddenly, the bedroom began to change.
