Chapter 113

They will stay in the slums all morning.

The heroine's home is located in a secluded and dark place. Compared with other people's shabby tents, the residence is slightly better, at least it has a few wooden boards for shelter.

Nitia sat on the wooden bed that would soon belong to her. "Is it sturdy?"

"Of course, girl," said the screenwriter.

The screenwriter was responsible for explaining the entire scene, including the shooting positions, where the camera would be set up, how to find the lens, and how the male protagonist could pose as if he was about to die to make it more tragic and emotional.

This job should have belonged to the director, but Frank himself was obviously not in good shape.

The bearded man stared blankly in one direction, his blue eyes filled with obsession and admiration.

Looks a bit like a pervert.

The screenwriter secretly complained that she was almost accustomed to cleaning up the mess for this guy who always suddenly lost touch with the show. After all, this guy's imagination and discoveries never disappointed anyone.

Bai Gaoxing, who was being watched the entire time, had already noticed the director's gaze, and his initial confusion turned into nervousness. He originally thought it was an illusion, but every time he turned around, he could see Frank's fiery gaze.

Every time!

But he couldn't run over to the other person and ask what the problem was.

Bai Gaoxing looked around. The actors and translators were all listening attentively to the screenwriter's explanation. The whole road was filled with the sound of questions and answers. He didn't want to interrupt this atmosphere.

“…”

Feeling that there was really no other way, he lifted his hat from the back of his neck and put it on his head to implement physical isolation.

There was an obvious sigh from behind.

Bai Gaoxing felt a chill on his back, which made him unable to help but move closer to Li Pu, and then he was supported on the shoulder.

Li Pho also discovered something was wrong with the director.

He glanced back and met Frank's eyes, earning a suggestive wink in return.

Li Pu also became confused, but Frank's face was full of expectation and kindness, so he had to wait until he was free to ask clearly later.

Bai Gaoxing's attention returned to the explanation.

The screenwriter is from country F. In order to facilitate communication, she spoke English most of the time, but when she talked about the scenes involving only the heroine and the hero, she returned to French.

She probably thought that using their common mother tongue would better convey what she wanted to say.

Bai Gaoxing slowly explained to Li Pu what the screenwriter said while listening: "...Although the heroine's character is weak, she is very positive at heart. She has courage that she doesn't even realize... ahem, this is also the reason why she can burst out with energy every time she is in a critical moment. And she also knows what she wants. After discovering that the hero has truly become a person worthy of trust, she resolutely follows him out of this quagmire."

"The heroine never appears at the gambling table, but everything she experiences in her life is like gambling."

Although Adonis's role would only appear in the casino, Li Pho was the second male lead and would have many interactions with the male and female protagonists, so he also translated it.

But there are always other actors who also want to hear about the male and female lead roles.

"Hey, hello." A man who had been watching for a long time walked up to Bai Gaoxing and said, "Bai."

He seemed a little embarrassed, and his dark skin couldn't hide the redness on his cheeks. "Can I listen to you, too?"

Most of the actors in "Casino" are from country F, but there are also many people of other nationalities. Some only know French, some only know English, and a few know a little of both, but not everyone can afford a translator.

So, sometimes, they will also take advantage of other people's translations.

Bai Gaoxing didn't mind being rubbed, he happily agreed, "Of course no problem."

Li Pho followed beside him and listened to the boy slowly speaking a foreign language.

Languages ​​also have their own unique styles. For example, English always sounds more brisk and coherent.

French, on the other hand, is like the gurgling water, smooth, beautiful and pleasant to the ear.

The actors couldn't help but feel fond of this extremely young translator. In a foreign country, having someone who can speak your language always makes people feel more approachable.

Li Pu noticed that after the boy spoke French, Frank's eyes brightened even more.

Frank seemed to be about to rush over, but for some special reason, he endured it.

Finally, it's time to take a break.

The actors scattered to find a place to sit down and rest, and the director seized the opportunity.

"Wait, who said that Noah should live in his memories?" The screenwriter made a small sarcastic remark during the break.

"It's the damn Frank." Frank said without any stance, "I want him! He is the Noah I want!"

"He is a translator and may not agree with your ideas."

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely get it!"

"Be careful not to scare him..."

So, during this free time, everyone present could see the director jogging towards Li Pu and Bai Gaoxing, waving and shouting.

"Hey! Young man! And Mr. Li, please wait a moment!"

It's finally here.

Bai Gaoxing and Li Pu thought the same thing.

The Frank was a bit chubby, and it was hilarious to see him running. By the time he came in front of the two men, he was already panting.

But he did not rest, but spoke his inner thoughts incoherently: "Oh my God! God...you are so suitable. Your name is Bai, right? Your appearance is what I have always dreamed of, and you speak French very well, haha, don't be nervous. I just want to say that you are amazing, a gift from God to me..."

In Li Pu's ears, it was just the director yelling at the boy.

"What is he talking about?" he asked directly.

Bai Gaoxing blinked and replied awkwardly: "He seems to be praising me?"

The actors were all attracted by the director's sudden action. Some of them didn't know what was going on and asked people nearby. When they heard the word "Noah", they suddenly understood.

They all received the new script that the director sent out at midnight yesterday.

Even though they were not the main actors, they still felt sorry for the sudden deletion of a character's scenes. There are only two true love stories in the movie, and if only the male and female protagonists were left, it would seem a bit bland.

I've always heard that Frank is very attentive to casting, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

And...Noah...

Everyone turned their eyes to the slender and tall boy not far away and nodded. He really fit the image described in the script.

At this moment, Frank's eyes were full of the shadow of the young man.

A beautiful face with a simple aura and eyes as bright as stars. He seemed to see a vivid Noah appear before him, performing a sad and unforgettable scene with Adonis from the scene he imagined.

Darren and Nitia had already walked over, looked at the director with amusement and said, "Frank, that's what we wanted to tell you."

They looked at each other, and Darren finally spoke: "We think Bai is very suitable for the role of Noah, and we want you not to give up yet..."

Nitia smiled and looked at Bai Gaoxing, "However, we haven't mentioned it to Bai yet, so I don't know if he will agree."

"You should have told me earlier!" Frank's heart was pounding and he took several deep breaths. This time he spoke to Li Pu: "Where on earth did you find such a person!?"

Then he sincerely said to Bai Gaoxing: "It would be great if you just went for the audition! I wouldn't have to waste so much time looking at so many people!"

"Actually..." Darren poked Frank's shoulder, "Bai did go to the audition. Nitia and I both saw him."

It can be said that no one failed to notice the boy that day. His hair was dazzlingly white and matched his young and tender face perfectly. What was even more impressive was his clean and gentle temperament, a perfect Noah. Some people who went to audition for Noah heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the boy was not an actor, muttering that they did not have the confidence to compete with him.

In the end, he was caught by the director.

Frank looked at Bai Gaoxing in disbelief, his mouth wide open as if he had missed an entire field of watermelons.

Bai Gaoxing nodded and laughed dryly: "I have indeed been there...but I was just Mr. Li's translator!"

"Yes. You are a translator." Frank looked at him deeply, his voice trembling with excitement, "But, young man, the world is colorful. Are you willing to try something new and give me a chance?"

…

The news that director Frank invited Bai Gaoxing to play Noah quickly spread throughout the crew.

While many actors were cheering and looking forward to whether the director would allow new members to join, Park Jiahui, who was sitting in the corner, was not in a very good mood.

He looked coldly at the crowd in the distance and glanced at the dealer uniform he had just received.

Black.

His character's name tag.

During the audition that day, the role the director gave him was not the character with connotation and value that he expected, but a thorough villain, insidious, treacherous, and unlikable.

When he tried his best to force a smile and asked why he was given such a role, the director said that he felt the role was very suitable for him.

How is that possible?

Park Jiahui tightly grasped the unopened suit to hide the mockery that was about to overflow from his eyes. He had heard that if he or Li Pu was chosen as Adonis, the other would be Blake.

Now...he can only play the roles left by Li Pho.

Park Jiahui put on his usual fake smile and greeted the people around him, but in the blink of an eye, his expression turned gloomy.

He looked at the man whom he regarded as his opponent, and gave the young man a gentle look that he himself did not even notice. He sneered in his heart and became more and more depressed.

He always thought that Li Pho was the same kind of person as him, and that people like him should always live in darkness and pain. How could the other person be so happy and have the person he loved?

It should be...that the change started with that parrot?

Park Jiahui rubbed his thumb over his index finger and then pressed harder.

He smiled, regretting that he hadn't had the chance to strangle the parrot unnoticed on the red carpet at the awards ceremony.

A bird can occupy such an important position in Li Pho's heart...If it died, Li Pho's expression would probably be very good, right?

Maybe I will never be able to be an actor again.

Park Jiahui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the curve of his lips widened. It was a pity that Li Pu did not bring the parrot, but he found more information worth digging deeper.

"HUI, what's wrong with you?" Suddenly, someone patted him from the side.

Park Jiahui always portrayed a gentle image. He quickly wiped off the expression on his face and raised his head with a smile, "Nothing. Maybe I'm a little tired."

…

In the evening, Frank found Bai Gaoxing and Li Pho.

"Hello, I mean, I still want to have a formal chat with you again."

Bai Gaoxing did not immediately accept the invitation to shoot the scene, but said he would go back and discuss it with Li Pu.

Li Pu told Lei Li about this. Lei Li had no objection and said that it was up to you to make your own choice.

Li Piao gave the choice to Bai Gaoxing.

"I think... maybe it's not bad to give it a try?" Bai Gaoxing was a little bit expectant. "I didn't expect to be able to participate in it myself after coming out for a trip."

But they didn't have time to tell the director.

Frank didn't even give them a chance to speak, and told the boy not to worry: "Although you have no screen experience, it doesn't matter at all. The guys in the crew are very enthusiastic and everyone can help you!"

Bai Gaoxing was silent.

Well, he actually has experience.

And it’s still very popular! It’s a big hit!

Although it's not a human.

Frank thought Bai Gaoxing was still hesitating because of his silence, so he even spoke in a pleading tone, "Please! Oh, my God, you really are..."

In order to stop the director from crying, Bai Gaoxing quickly said, "No, no, no, I want to say, I can try."

"real!?"

"Really." Bai Gaoxing nodded, "But...if it's not appropriate..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be suitable!" Frank said with an aura of finality.

"It doesn't matter." Li Pu whispered, "If Frank likes someone, he will pull him back even if he's a homeless person on the street." This is a legend that everyone in the F country's entertainment industry knows.

Now that it's decided to be performed, the only things left are the script and the characters.

"Don't worry about the script. You don't have many scenes. You can memorize the lines in two days." Frank comforted her as if he was afraid that she would run away. "The most important thing now is to decide on the makeup."

All the actors had already been cast, except Noah.

"Luckily I brought all the clothes I ordered." Frank carefully took out a piece of clothing from his bag and held it in his hands as if it were a treasure.

Under the light, the buttons on it reflect a breathtaking light.

"Would you like to try on Noah's uniform?"
