"Thank you, but no thanks." Yu Qinghuan didn't expect that he could catch such a big fish with just a few pieces of grilled ribs. Shocked and flustered, he couldn't think of any solution for a moment, so he had to politely reject Zeng Peirong's proposal with a blank face.
Are you kidding? Zeng Peirong has been in the industry for more than 40 years, and every script he has written has been popular. How could a person who wants to retire from the entertainment industry take on a role in a popular script? It's better to just hide away.
Zeng Peirong never expected that the first time he offered to write a script for someone else, he would be rejected so ruthlessly. How could this be possible? !
He is the gold medal screenwriter Zeng Peirong, who becomes a hit with every book he writes and, at the age of 60, is pursued by literary young women every day to ask them to give birth to his children! ! How could I be rejected by an unknown little actor? !
There must be something wrong!
The old man grabbed the thick beard on his chin and rolled his eyes. Could it be that... this kid doesn't know who he is?
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood. I told you, there is no actor in the entertainment industry who can refuse him! This kid just entered the circle, he is still a greenhorn, and he has seen only a few young actors. How could he possibly know a great star like himself!
"Ahem," Zeng Peirong straightened his back, raised his chin, and looked at Yu Qinghuan with burning eyes, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Dare you reject Zeng Peirong? Just wait and see! Today he would make this country boy regret his mother's decision to deny him, and then kneel down and cry and beg him to write a script for him!
When the time comes, if he refuses to go back fiercely, the boy's face will definitely be very interesting!
As expected of a gold medal screenwriter, in just a few seconds, he had already written millions of words of his own counterattack drama in his mind. He was smugly waiting for the next plot when he heard Yu Qinghuan's light and pleasant voice, "I know, you are Mr. Zeng."
"I am...what? Do you know?" Zeng Peirong choked, and the ridicule he had prepared was stuck in his mouth. His old face turned red, and he beat his chest and stamped his feet before he could finally breathe out.
The old man was so angry that he almost jumped up and down, staring at Yu Qinghuan with a bad look, "Then why don't you want me to write a script for you?" He narrowed his eyes, "Do you have a problem with me? Or do you look down on me?"
"None." Knowing that this old man's personality would be fine if he was treated in the right way, Yu Qinghuan did not panic and said calmly, "I'm just a newcomer. It would be a waste to use your script." After a pause, seeing Zeng Peirong's face full of disbelief, he had to add, "Besides, I'm just cooking two meals for you. Why do I need you to write a script for me?"
Fearing that Zeng Peirong would continue to ask questions, Yu Qinghuan quickly lowered her head after she finished speaking and put on a shy look, vividly portraying the image of a newcomer in the circle.
Zeng Peirong's anger disappeared in an instant, and his eyes became gentle.
No wonder I didn’t have to write a script for him, it turns out he is my die-hard fan!
Worried that she was a newcomer with insufficient acting skills and would ruin his script, she had no choice but to resist the temptation, risking being misunderstood by him and turning down a great opportunity.
He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, has excellent character, and most importantly, sticks to the bottom line of being a human being. This young man is really good!
"Very good, very good. There aren't many good kids like you nowadays." Zeng Peirong sighed, walked up to Yu Qinghuan and patted him on the shoulder, with an encouraging look on his face, "Follow Director Liu and learn well! Don't worry, I'll take care of the script for your next play!"
If what Zeng Peirong said to Yu Qinghuan just now was still a joke, now he really began to wonder in his mind whether he had any script suitable for Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
What exactly did Zeng Peirong misunderstand? ! He really doesn't want to act!
Yu Qinghuan decided to explain it to him.
"Teacher Zeng, please don't make an exception for me. I'm telling you the truth. My acting skills are terrible. I need to hone them for a few more years at least."
In desperation, Yu Qinghuan has started to make fun of himself.
Unexpectedly, the more Zeng Peirong listened, the more relieved he felt.
In this day and age, where can you find people in the entertainment industry with such clear self-awareness? When they heard that it was his script, no matter whether it was suitable or not, every actor would try their best to find connections to get a role in it.
As for Yu Qinghuan, she refused again and again.
This person's character is simply amazing!
"You kid!" Zeng Peirong glared at him in mock displeasure. "I know you admire me and are afraid that you'll ruin my script. But you can't let this great opportunity slip away."
It doesn’t matter if your acting is bad. With a good script, a good director, and a good post-production, even rotten wood can be shaped into a towering tree!
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan's forehead was sweating, the old man thought that he was flattered by his education. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "It's settled. Just contact me after your part here is over."
After saying this, he left Yu Qinghuan, who was bewildered, and floated away.
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
Yu Qinghuan was so depressed that she kept pulling her hair! For the first time ever, he couldn't keep calm on his face. It would have been fine if he had accidentally starred in "A Glimmer of Hope", as he was still able to control the situation, but if he were to star in Zeng Peirong's script again, how would he be able to fall in love?
I'm afraid that if he holds hands with his boyfriend, it will make the headlines the next day.
Just thinking about days like that makes me feel hopeless.
"Qinghuan, what are you dawdling about? Go and put on your makeup, the director is waiting for you!" Before he could think about it, Zhao Qingyuan ran over breathlessly and dragged Yu Qinghuan to his private dressing room.
Although part of Zhao Qingyuan's cold personality was deliberately created, in fact, he is indeed cold and indifferent to other artists in the same industry. Even a big star like Wang Chengcheng cannot make him look at her differently.
However, this artist named Yu Qinghuan was able to get along well with Zhao Qingyuan. Several makeup artists looked at each other, noticed the shock in each other's eyes, adjusted their facial expressions, lowered their postures, and asked Yu Qinghuan to sit down in front of the dressing table.
Yu Qinghuan is good-looking, and in her early twenties, she has very good skin, so white that it almost glows. Therefore, the makeup artist only applied a thin layer of foundation on his face, adjusted his hair style, and then asked him to put on the white coat that had been prepared long ago.
"Are you done?" Outside, Liu Jiaan was already getting a little impatient.
Although he was optimistic about Yu Qinghuan, it was not worth wasting so much time on a third male lead. Moreover, since Yu Qinghuan is a newcomer, it will definitely take her more time to take makeup photos than for others. He had originally only reserved two hours for him, and now there was not much time left.
He put out the cigarette in his hand and was about to ask assistant director Jiang Qi to go over and see what was going on when he saw the door of the dressing room suddenly opened and Yu Qinghuan strode over in a white coat.
Yu Qinghuan is tall and thin, but not weak. On the contrary, because of his good bone structure and temperament, his thinness just highlights a sense of elegance. As she walked, a corner of her white coat fluttered in the wind, gently sweeping across her two long, straight legs. She didn't even need to pose to be photographed.
"Very good! Very good!" Liu Jiaan said "very good" twice in a row, showing his satisfaction with Yu Qinghuan. He even pulled him aside to give him some pointers, "You've read the script. Ye Sheng was a rebellious and indulgent person in the early stages. You have to act out this feeling when you pose later."
Yu Qinghuan himself has a rather cold temperament. Although Liu Jiaan has seen his acting skills, he is still worried that he will not be able to interpret Ye Sheng's feelings.
"I understand, Director Liu." Yu Qinghuan nodded and followed the photographer's instructions to the shooting location.
The person who was so cold and reserved just now, his state immediately changed once he entered the camera.
His shoulders slumped slightly, leaning lazily against the snow-white wall. With his chin slightly raised and the corners of his lips curled up, he put one hand in the pocket of his white coat and smiled brightly at the photographer, "Is this okay?"
There was an immediate sound of gasps from the surroundings. How could this be possible? This is simply amazing!
It's just a simple action, but it's so handsome and seductive, as if it instantly stimulates all the hormones in the body, making people blush and their heart beat fast, but they can't bear to look away.
"That's it! That's the feeling!" The photographer's hands were shaking with excitement. He kept clicking the shutter and asked Yu Qinghuan to adjust his pose from time to time.
Yu Qinghuan was able to cooperate very well, so Liu Jiaan had no problems.
After taking a group of photos, the photographer ran to Liu Jiaan and boasted, "How about it? Not bad, right?"
In the photo, Yu Qinghuan is tall, handsome and elegant, like a little sun, attracting everyone's attention. No wonder the photographer is so proud, photos of this quality are worthy of being exhibited.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, Liu Jiaan frowned. He stared at the photos and felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at them.
The photographer didn't expect that he was not satisfied with the photo. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Liu Jia'an whisper in his ear: "Ask Yu Qinghuan to change the shirt inside to light blue and take another photo."
The clothes that the crew originally prepared for Yu Qinghuan were light blue, but because he had a cold temperament, Liu Jiaan was afraid that he couldn't handle the color, so he temporarily changed it to blue.
But after the photos came out, Liu Jiaan saw Yu Qinghuan's acting skills and thought he could change to blue to give it a try.
The filming locations for "Life and Death Line" were all built by ourselves. For example, the hospital where Yu Qinghuan had just taken her makeup photos actually only had one corridor and one office, and it didn’t even have a ceiling.
The cold wind blew in, and the breath exhaled by the frozen people seemed to be filled with ice chips.
In order to make the photo look good, Yu Qinghuan only wore a shirt and a white coat. He was shivering from the cold. After the photo shoot, he was dragged to the side of Little Sun by Zhao Qingyuan. He had already started sneezing.
If it happens again, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold.
But Liu Jiaan is stubborn. Once he decides to do something, he must do it and he will reshoot it no matter what. Jiang Qi was worried that Yu Qinghuan would be upset, so he ran over and told him about it in person.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qinghuan was not unhappy at all. Instead, she took off her down jacket without saying a word and ran to the dressing room to change clothes.
The older people in the crew who watched the show sighed:
"This kid is really good."
"Yes, Lao Jiang, don't you have an induction cooker? Hurry up and make some ginger soup. Xiao Yu doesn't have an assistant."
"I have another Canada Goose coat. I'll go get it now and put it on Xiaoyu after the photo shoot is over."
………………
Just as the older generation was busying themselves for Yu Qinghuan, Liu Jiaan's assistant suddenly ran over in a panic, stopped in front of Liu Jiaan, panting, holding the phone, "Oh no, Director Liu! The investor just called and said that the third male lead will be replaced by Gao Yuncheng from Xingguang, on the condition that they make additional investments!"
After a pause, he glanced at Liu Jiaan's expression and said cautiously, "Um... Gao Yuncheng is here."
"Bullshit!" Liu Jiaan cursed angrily, "Qing Huan was chosen by me, I don't know who dares to change her! Xing Guang, right? I'll call Huo Rong later!"
"What are you going to change? With us old bones here, let's see who dares to change Qinghuan!" The older generation of the crew were also very angry and spoke out to help.
"That's right! Just use my face to call Huo Rong!"
"If it doesn't work, I'll go to the Huo family and talk to them!"
These people are all Liu Jiaan's old friends. He had invited them with great difficulty to help guide the actors. They are all very influential people in their respective fields. Even if Huo Rong was present, he probably wouldn't dare to treat them casually.
If someone else had been substituted in today's incident, perhaps it would have been successful.
But Yu Qinghuan had just gained some favor in front of these people, allowing them to see his acting skills and hard work. The older generation likes talented and good-tempered kids like this, and the investor's move to replace the person just touched their sore spot.
The atmosphere of this circle has been corrupted by these people!
Today they just don’t believe it. With old men like them around, can they not protect a younger generation?
So, when Gao Yuncheng excitedly rushed to the crew, he saw this scene:
A row of grey-haired old men were sitting on small stools blocking the doorway, staring at him with fierce and cold eyes, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
Gao Yuncheng felt a chill on his back and stopped involuntarily.
This...what happened? ? ? Has he offended these people? !
