[130. Playing the male lead]
How could Zheng Xuhe not understand something? However, he still said calmly, "What is the role of this third male?"
"You——" Cheng Qingxing raised his head and lay directly in his arms, with a puzzled look, "If you can't even understand this, how can you be a triple-Award winner?"
Sun Haojie and Cheng Zhiyi watched the two people's actions in silence.
No one dared to talk to Zheng Xuhe like this, except Cheng Qingxing.
To outsiders, what's the difference between them and a newlywed couple?
"Then I'll give it to you." Zheng Xuhe was so angry that he laughed.
Cheng Qingxing rolled his eyes at him, and then told him about the role of the third male lead in the drama. After a long explanation, Zheng Xuhe finally understood one word.
"Um."
"Can't you say something else?" Cheng Qingxing asked with an unhappy expression.
After thinking for a few seconds, Zheng Xuhe said softly, "You are better than the best actor."
It didn't sound like a compliment but more like a mockery, and Sun Haojie at the side spat out a mouthful of wine.
Both of them looked at him. Cheng Zhiyi handed him a tissue and said with an apologetic smile, "It's okay, it's okay. You two continue. Don't worry about us."
Zheng Xuhe finished reading the script and then handed it to Cheng Zhiyi with no expression on his face.
Cheng Zhiyi asked cautiously, "Don't you like it? If you are willing to invest, I can ask the screenwriter to make some changes."
"Who is the screenwriter?" Zheng Xuhe directly asked him another question.
"Su Yunmeng, you should know her, right? She is quite famous in the circle."
Zheng Xuhe didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.
Cheng Zhiyi was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak, so he winked at Cheng Qingxing, hoping that he would help say a few words.
"Don't worry." Cheng Qingxing patted his wrist, then said with a smile, "He will judge for himself."
Sure enough, after a few minutes of silence, Zheng Xuhe said, "Not a bad script. Qin Shaojie is indeed good."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately poured wine for Zheng Xuhe, "Then Mr. Zheng, look—"
"No need to vacate the venue, just keep filming." Zheng Xuhe took the wine glass from his hand, took a sip, and then put the glass down.
"Great." Cheng Zhiyi picked up the beer and drank it all in one breath, "Boss Zheng, I won't let you down."
Cheng Qingxing smiled and nodded, then whispered in Zheng Xuhe's ear: "Boss Zheng~"
Zheng Xuhe raised his hand and glanced at him. He knew that he was deliberately being sarcastic to him, but he was not angry. He just silently helped him wrap a lettuce wrap.
Sun Haojie, who was standing opposite him, saw this and felt pain in his eyes.
To be honest, as an outsider, he couldn't understand why the two of them didn't remarry.
"But there is still a problem." Cheng Zhiyi didn't care about the relationship between the two. "The male lead has been replaced. Look--"
Cheng Zhiyi didn't finish his words. He looked at Zheng Xuhe and asked cautiously, "Who do you think is suitable?"
Zheng Xuhe did not answer immediately. Cheng Zhiyi shifted his gaze to Cheng Qingxing, "How about Teacher Cheng return to the crew and try?"
"Hmm?" Cheng Qingxing was stunned. Why did he mention himself at this time? "Me? Do you think I am destined to be the male protagonist?"
Zheng Xuhe did not answer, but nodded calmly. Sun Haojie and Cheng Zhiyi understood at once.
This is just a hobby between a young couple, so they naturally have to act well and give Zheng Xuhe enough face.
"I think you are destined to play the leading role." Sun Haojie immediately came back to his senses, "Teacher Cheng, you are our Beta star."
A "?" appeared on Cheng Qingxing's face. These words didn't sound like a good thing.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Qingxing's face was filled with the words "speechless". "Did you hit your head?"
"No, there is no male lead." Sun Haojie continued, "You are the most suitable person to play the role."
Cheng Qingxing frowned, looked at Cheng Zhiyi opposite him, and asked with a smile: "Director Cheng, you don't think so too, do you?"
"You are indeed suitable." Cheng Zhiyi's cheeks began to turn red, and he said in a drunken tone, "You are already the most popular actor in our crew, so you are suitable for the role."
What Cheng Zhiyi said does make sense. Among this group of people, he has the most traffic.
Moreover, Cheng Qingxing's acting skills can make him feel at ease.
"Boss Zheng, you should agree with it, right?" Cheng Zhiyi looked at Zheng Xuhe and asked with a smile.
Zheng Xuhe and Cheng Zhiyi looked at each other, then looked at Cheng Qingxing and asked, "The role you originally played is actually not suitable for you."
"I feel it's a good fit." Cheng Qingxing believes that the original role "Bai Xuji" is suitable for him, "I like this role very much."
"If you play the leading role, it will save me a lot of trouble." Zheng Xuhe spoke up at this time, "At least, your salary is very low, so I don't have to spend more money."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Haojie next to him clapped his hands in affirmation.
"Yes! Your pay is too low! Boss Zheng will definitely make money if he lets you play the leading actor!" Sun Haojie joked with a smile.
Cheng Qingxing said nothing, and shifted his gaze to Zheng Xuhe, "Are you really going to let me come?"
He is not the kind of pretentious person. If a drama really offers him the role of the male lead, he will definitely take it.
Even if Zheng Xuhe deliberately arranged it for him, he would accept it without hesitation.
"I'm relieved that you're here. Besides, if the crew wants to find another actor, it will take a long time to interview him." Zheng Xuhe drank the last sip of wine in his glass slowly. "Venue fees, machine fees, labor fees, none of them is money."
"You——" Cheng Qingxing was about to curse, but he gritted his teeth and finally said, "Are you short of this little money?"
Zheng Xuhe tilted his head slightly, then stood up, "Of course I am short of it."
Cheng Qingxing was amused by what he said, but he also stood up and bowed slightly to Cheng Zhiyi and Sun Haojie: "Then choose me first, and you can find other people to audition in the next few days. We will leave first."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work today." Cheng Zhiyi immediately stood up and bowed to them. "Teacher Cheng, thank you so much."
If Cheng Qingxing hadn't helped to build this thread, his drama would have really failed here.
"No, I should thank you." Cheng Qingxing smiled politely, "Such a good drama, and I was given the leading role. I feel really bad about it."
Zheng Xuhe put on a hat and a mask and bowed to Cheng Zhiyi: "I will ask my secretary to find you to sign the contract tomorrow. See you on the set at ten o'clock."
Sun Haojie and Cheng Zhiyi were naturally delighted. They smiled and waved, saying, "See you tomorrow at ten o'clock."
