One day, Yu Sangzhi received a message from a hoodlum classmate: "Brother Feng wants you to go to the small grove by the north gate after school!" "Brother Feng" was Huo Feng, who s...
After agreeing to let Director Lu Xun help him play a cameo role, Huo Feng, Yan Siyuan, and Director Lu Xun reached an agreement.
After Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan finish their cameo scenes directed by Lu Xun, Lu Xun will invest the full 500,000 yuan in them.
After that, Lu Xun could let Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan Studio use the money as they pleased, as long as they reported the progress to Lu Xun at any time.
As the largest shareholder of this game, Lu Xun had no opinion on how the two of them managed the subsequent promotion of this game. He just wanted to know the steps and results.
Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan expressed their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts for Lu Xun's trust in them.
However, on the way back, Yan Siyuan thought more and more that something was wrong...
…
At 8:30 in the evening, Yan Siyuan returned to the dormitory after washing his hair and taking a shower, and finally figured out what was wrong with this matter!
"Huo Feng..."
Yan Siyuan put the washbasin on the cabinet, wiped his wet hair, and turned to Huo Feng and said, "I found a problem."
"What's the problem~"
At that time, Huo Feng was sitting at the table, scrolling through his phone and tapping his feet. Today's investment was successful, and he seemed to be in a good mood, with a cheerful tone.
Yan Siyuan wanted to talk to Huo Feng about this very thing. "Director Lu asked us to make a cameo appearance. Did he mention paying us?"
“No.”
Huo Feng quickly replied, "Why talk about remuneration? I'll just be a guest star for a few days. Director Lu is so loyal, straightforward, and easy to talk to. Where else can I find such a good partner? Don't you think so?"
"One thing is another. He didn't give us the 500,000 yuan for free. It's an investment in us. If our game is profitable in the future, we have to return the money to him."
Yan Siyuan felt something was wrong because of this. "But he asked us to make a cameo appearance without mentioning any salary. It's like we're working for him for free."
“Tsk…”
Huo Feng put down his phone and looked at Yan Siyuan with a raised eyebrow. "Just consider this small amount of money as a gesture of loyalty, okay? Don't make a fuss about it!"
When Yan Siyuan heard what Huo Feng said, he wiped his hair and walked to Huo Feng.
Pulling over the chair next to him, he sat down next to Huo Feng. "Hey, so what you're saying is that we're just going to do it for Director Lu for free? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Huo Feng nodded without hesitation. "Think about how many setbacks we've encountered recently. When the whole society looked down on our careers, Director Lu supported us without a word! Just for his loyalty, we must repay him with our loyalty!"
"Is that what you mean?"
Yan Siyuan frowned, "Isn't it because he wants to benefit both of us? That's why he invested so readily? You have to know that he didn't give this 500,000 for nothing. If the game turns a profit, he will get a share of the profits."
"What's the big deal? Even if he didn't give me the 500,000 for free, he still gave it to me out of favor and respect!"
Huo Feng said in a natural tone, "Let me tell you, even if it's profitable for him, it's because he appreciates us. Otherwise, why would he want you to play a role in his play so badly the moment he saw you? He said he would ask the screenwriter to write suitable roles for us right away, and he wanted us to star in his play. It's not that he wants anything from us, it's because he likes us! You know what it means to have a good eye for us? We have a good eye for each other! That's why he spent 500,000 just to have us appear in his play. What a good thing!"
Yan Siyuan could actually understand what Huo Feng meant...
but…
Acting is something like this...
Yan Siyuan took a deep breath, still hesitant with his lips pursed, "I guess... he actually just looks at the face."
"It's about the face."
Huo Feng tilted his head, stared at Yan Siyuan, and raised one of his eyebrows. "So, the fact that we were able to get 500,000 yuan in investment today is not a loss for your face. Otherwise, it would be normal for Director Lu to reject us outright. This is a favor bestowed by God, and you are not grateful for it, but are still thinking of settling accounts with others?"
Yan Siyuan sighed, his face full of melancholy, "If you say so, I can't refute it."
At this time, Huo Feng stared at Yan Siyuan's face more closely...
Yan Siyuan's thoughts paused for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find Huo Feng looking at him. His sword-like brows suddenly frowned, "What are you doing?"
Huo Feng raised his thin lips high, "Yan Ji, are you scared? Are you afraid to act?"
A trace of discomfort crossed Yan Siyuan's face. He sat up straight and said, "It's true that I have no experience, but I'm afraid of the impossible. Everything has a first time. Since I agreed to give it a try, I should probably start preparing. And..."
Huo Feng asked: "And what?"
Yan Siyuan looked back at Huo Feng with a look of contempt and said, "If you can do it, how could I not be able to do it?"
"Tsk~"
Huo Feng raised his hand and waved, "You're just bragging! I think you're just scared and don't dare to act! Your performance is exactly the same as when Sang Zhi accompanied me to the audition before."
Yan Siyuan said firmly: "I'm not afraid."
Huo Feng asked: "Then let me ask you, if you were asked to play a role with my personality, would you be confident?"
Yan Siyuan immediately showed disdain on his face, "You? You can't act that out."
Huo Feng said with a sigh, "What an actor's accomplishment!"
Yan Siyuan: “Tsk…”
Huo Feng: "By the way, I've already told your girlfriend about this."
Yan Siyuan: “…”
