Sheng Wenxi didn't expect him to have such considerations. "Do you like boys?" he asked tentatively, "Otherwise why would you have such worries."
Ji Qingzhou certainly wouldn't expose himself in front of someone he didn't know well, so he just said, "If you get too deep into the role, who knows what will happen?"
"Don't you think you're thinking too much? If you're like this, then you're not suitable for acting. Otherwise, when you were filming "Partridge", you also had a love scene. Aren't you worried that you'd fall in love with the heroine?"
"Under the general environment, even if you like someone, liking a girl is more stressful than liking a boy, isn't it? What's more, Chen Qiao's feelings are not as impactful as Ah Heng's, right?"
"So you want to stay in your comfort zone forever, not challenge your potential, and just play some scenes without strong dramatic conflicts?"
"Honestly, I don't need to take risks for any movie that I know might happen."
"Even if it can win you an award?" Sheng Wenxi emphasized, "You have read the script, so you should know that Ah Heng is the male lead. If you film this drama, if you are lucky, you may become the next best actor."
Ji Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm an actor. Actors all want to win awards, especially the Best Actor award. However, there are more types of films that can win awards, right?"
"So you still don't want to."
Ji Qingzhou nodded and said, "I am very grateful to Director Sheng for your appreciation and support for me, but I am not suitable for this subject. If you start shooting a movie of other themes next time, I am willing to participate, but this one is not suitable for me."
Sheng Wenxi listened to his neither humble nor arrogant words and said nothing. This is a situation he rarely encounters after becoming famous. The entertainment industry is a very powerful circle. In this circle, as long as you are in a high position, there will always be people coming to curry favor with you. He has met too many stars, famous and not famous, with acting skills and without, and they would all greet him politely and introduce themselves in a tactful way when they met him.
But now, the opportunity was placed in front of Ji Qingzhou, but he refused again and again. On the one hand, Sheng Wenxi thought that he refused because he was afraid of getting too involved in the role, which was a ridiculous reason. He looked down on him for his lack of ambition and hard work. On the other hand, he was dissatisfied with his repeated rejections and felt rebellious and irritable.
At this time, the proprietress came over and placed the drinks they ordered in front of them. Ji Qingzhou thanked her politely. Sheng Wenxi said nothing, just looked at him.
Seeing that he was staring at him, Ji Qingzhou asked him, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"I think you're wasting your talent a bit." Sheng Wenxi said, "You're at your best age, at the age when your acting is most talented, but you're not being aggressive, but being conservative? If you know that you're not likely to act out, why don't you practice more and find ways to overcome it? Or is your career plan to be an ordinary actor and just be famous enough?"
What he said was actually quite impolite, and Ji Qingzhou didn't really like it. Sheng Wenxi's script was very good, and Sheng Wenxi himself was well-known, but the danger in this script was too high, so dangerous that he didn't want to touch it at all. If Ah Heng likes a woman, then Ji Qingzhou might consider whether to take the role for the sake of winning awards, but if Ah Heng likes a man, then he will definitely not take the role.
He likes Chu Cheng, and he doesn't want to like anyone other than Chu Cheng, not even if there is a one in ten thousand chance. What's more, Ji Qingzhou drank a sip of milk tea, and Chu Cheng would never let him take this role. He knew his new boyfriend too well. If he let him watch himself kissing, hugging, and lifting up other men on the screen and doing more intimate things, Chu Cheng would probably smash the screen of the cinema on the spot, hoping that out of sight he would pretend not to see it.
Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and felt that Chu Cheng was very cute.
He put down the cup and said to Sheng Wenxi, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
Sheng Wenxi folded her arms and looked at him without saying a word.
Ji Qingzhou still had a role to play, and Sheng Wenxi saw that he was determined, so the two of them returned to the crew without saying anything more.
Zhou Chengfeng saw him coming back and asked him, "How was the talk?"
"Not very good," Ji Qingzhou said truthfully, "I won't answer it, I told him the truth."
