Chapter 4 First Encounter
"hug......"
Before he could even say sorry, the other person had already walked around him and walked away, patting his clothes as he left, as if he had bumped into something dirty.
Chu Yunshu heard a very light "tsk" with impatience.
He turned around, but only had time to see the other person's back. He was very tall, slender, and upright. For some reason, he reminded him of the university scholar of the Southern Yu Kingdom who was killed by him personally.
Even the faint minty scent in the air is somewhat similar.
Chu Yunshu grinned. What was he thinking about? Was he still missing those puppet-like days?
If you think about it carefully, his fate is really tragic. In the Kingdom of Nanyu, he is the king of a country above millions of people and the most honorable person in the world.
But in reality, he had been controlled by the Queen Mother since he was young and had been drinking poison for nineteen years. If the Queen Mother did not send him medicine on the fifteenth of every month, he would have to endure the pain as if he was being bitten by snakes, insects, rats and ants.
During this period, he killed countless people. Except for the Grand Secretary, none of them was someone he really wanted to kill, but those people actually lost their lives because of a word from him.
He became a tyrant that everyone in the Nanyu Dynasty feared and a pawn in the hands of the Queen Mother.
Being a king, he has no freedom at all.
He originally thought that he would be free if he traveled to this world that shouted "equality for all".
But unexpectedly, I was controlled by the plot, forced by the rules, and coerced by the evil capital. I couldn't escape or break it, and I could only resign myself to following the plot.
How can a person live truly freely and do whatever he wants?
This fucked-up life has plenty of ways to make you give in.
Chu Yunshu shook his head and turned back to the opening ceremony.
The other side
Ji Heng walked a long way, and his nose was still lingering with the fresh scent of woody citrus, which came from the person who had just bumped into him.
He also has perfume with the same scent, but now when he smells it, it seems to have a different flavor that is hard to describe, delicate, soft and very comfortable.
He couldn't help but stop and look back, but the man was gone.
Was it really just an accidental collision?
"Brother Heng, what happened?" Assistant Wang Che also looked back, but he didn't see the person who bumped into Ji Heng. He had the same idea as Ji Heng, "The person just now might really not have noticed."
It’s no wonder that Ji Heng reacted so strongly just now. Over the years, countless people have “accidentally” bumped into him, and those little thoughts can’t be hidden at all.
"Today is the day when the crew next door starts filming "Hegemony", and there are quite a lot of people coming." Wang Che carefully checked Ji Heng's face, knowing that he hated this kind of behavior of relying on climbing into bed to get resources the most.
But as he is a rare young Grand Slam actor in the domestic entertainment industry and the second son of the Ji Group, there are even more people who want to get into his bed.
Ji Heng didn't say anything, but his face was still not very good until he got into the nanny car. Wang Che said at the side: "I heard that this drama was invested by Lin Yang, the president of Lin Group, and the hot supporting role was only decided two days ago."
"Huh, he invested? It seems he is here to select people from the circle again."
Being in the same circle, Ji Heng naturally knew Lin Yang's style of doing things. Therefore, even though the Lin Group and Ji's had cooperation, Ji Heng and Lin Yang had no intersection.
Lin Yang would collect any good-looking newcomers in the entertainment industry into his harem.
It's hard to find a few clean ones in this circle.
There is no way. In the entertainment industry which is controlled by capital, unless you have a family background or a backer, you cannot survive by working hard alone.
If they want to keep themselves clean, those people have plenty of ways to drag others into the mud.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The copyright of Hegemony is in the hands of Lin's media company. Even the director team was formed by Lin, so everyone has to listen to him."
Wang Che said: "I heard that this time they are collaborating with Yaoshi Entertainment, and many roles are given to Yaoshi Entertainment's artists."
He did not use the word "actor" because as far as he knew, many of the people in the cast had never acted before, but without exception, they were all artists with good looks and figures.
The reason, of course, was to satisfy Lin Yang's selfish desires.
However, it is estimated that many people would be happy to climb into Lin Yang's bed. After all, Lin Yang has resources. Although he is well-known in the circle for his picky attitude towards people, he is generous and never stingy with those who follow him.
For resources, fame, and money, many people are willing to give it all.
It’s just a pity that such a good IP as "Hegemony" is wasted. How good a drama can the team formed to help Lin Yang select his harem produce?
"I heard that the role of Zhou Jin was originally intended for another actor, but because he refused to submit to Lin Yang, the role was replaced."
Wang Che is an expert at gossip and is quite good at finding out information. After all, he lives next door to the crew where Qi Heng is filming, so he knew a lot of inside information a few days ago.
"The artist currently playing this role is said to be Lin Yang's new favorite."
Ji Heng was not surprised. It was no secret in the circle that Lin Yang liked people who praised him. I just didn't expect that someone would reject Lin Yang.
But his surprise only lasted for a moment, and there was not even a trace of expression on his face.
He never paid attention to insignificant people.
If we were to say who else in the crew was unhappy with Lin Yang besides Chu Yunshu, it would be director Zhao Mingkai.
He personally auditioned for the role of Zhou Jin. Chu Yunshu's acting skills were very immature, but his appearance was a perfect fit and he was very smart. He originally planned to focus on Chu Yunshu after filming began and give him more guidance.
During the script reading, he also gave special guidance to Chu Yunshu. Chu Yunshu had a strong comprehension ability and learned things quickly, so he was very satisfied with Chu Yunshu.
He and the crew have already discussed the planning and Chu Yunshu will be the focus of their promotion for this drama.
They all believe that Chu Yunshu's Zhou Jin will be the highlight during the drama's promotion period.
However, on the day of filming, he discovered that Chu Yunshu's makeup was not Zhou Jin's at all.
The actor was replaced, but he, as the director, was the last to know about it, and he only found out on the day of the opening ceremony. Zhao Mingkai was very embarrassed at that time.
"Oh, Tan Xiaolin is not bad either. You saw his makeup today. It still suits Zhou Jin very well."
Lin Yang didn't think changing actors was a big deal.
Anyway, the male and female protagonists have enough fan base, and the book itself is very popular, so the ratings will not be bad no matter what.
Suitable? Zhao Mingkai was so angry that he was speechless. He already understood the whole story and now liked Chu Yunshu even more. But he was just a worker who was struggling for his dream.
Although he is a director, he is not yet comparable to those famous directors, let alone the right to speak. If Lin Yang is really unhappy, he can be replaced at any time.
The reason why he was chosen to be the director of this drama was not because he had filmed a few small web dramas that had some traffic. It’s just because he is a new director with no background, so he is easier to control.
It's just that it's not easy to find an actor who fits the role of Zhou Jin. Zhao Mingkai still wants to try again: "Boss Lin, why don't you reconsider it? To be honest, with Chu Yunshu here, no one dares to say that they fit the role of Zhou Jin."
Lin Yang wasn't unhappy, but he wasn't in a good mood either: "Of course I know Chu Yunshu is good."
But what’s the use? You don't know what's good for you.
He spent money just to buy happiness. It was a special favor for him to keep such an ignorant person in the crew.
Don’t even think about playing this kind of charming role.
"Alright, alright, I'll invest another 30 million, and you stop making trouble. Although Tan Xiaolin's appearance is not as good as Chu Yunshu's, he is not bad either. What's more, he graduated from a professional school, so he may be more suitable for the role than Chu Yunshu."
This makes sense. Appearance is only temporary. The most important thing is acting skills.
If there really is "plastic surgery-like" acting skills, it can also bring people a sense of contrast and surprise.
"Anyway, Chu Yunshu can't play Zhou Jin again." Lin Yang was firm in his attitude.
Unless he surrenders to me right now, then I wash myself and lie on his bed and serve him well.
But obviously, this is impossible, Lin Yang has not forgotten the punch Chu Yunshu gave him that night.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and dodged for a moment, he would probably not be able to face anyone today.
Little thing, it's too spicy.
He won't give in unless he suffers a little.
