Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 27
byChapter 27 Chapter 27 Sun Wei visited Shi Xingze last time…
After Sun Wei approached Shi Xingze last time, Shi Xingze declined him politely according to Brother Long’s wishes, and also deleted him as a friend.
The drama that Brother Long approached him about was almost finalized. It was called “The Way the Wind Blows”. It was a love story on a college campus. He was negotiating with Shi Xingze for the role of the third male lead.
Shi Xingze looked through the script carefully and had to admit that Brother Long’s vision was that this was indeed a small but sophisticated low-cost campus romance drama.
The story begins when the heroine Jiang Zhi has her umbrella blown away by the wind during a heavy rain, and happens to be met by the hero Shen Lan and the second male lead Gu Xu.The second male protagonist reached out and grabbed the umbrella, but because the counselor had something to do with him, he handed the umbrella to the male protagonist in the same dormitory and asked him to return it to the other person, and the male and female protagonists became acquainted with each other.
The relationship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist gradually grew closer, and they gradually fell in love with each other. However, they did not expect that the second male protagonist also had a crush on each other. He regretted countless times that he was not the one who returned the umbrella to the female protagonist.
The third male lead that Shi Xingze is about to audition for is much quieter than the others.
Male number three, Shu Hua, is the heroine’s classmate. He met the heroine in a handicraft shop.The heroine Jiang Zhi fell in love with an umbrella handmade by the shop owner, but was told that the umbrella had already been reserved.
The owner of this umbrella is Shu Hua.Shu Hua was in the store at the time. He didn’t expect that anyone would fall in love with such a handmade umbrella as he did, so he secretly asked the store owner to sell the umbrella to the heroine, and he fell in love with the heroine at first sight.
But Shu Hua didn’t know the heroine’s name. It wasn’t until one rainy day when he saw the heroine coming to class holding an umbrella that he realized who bought the umbrella.
Shu Hua is introverted, but when he finally mustered up the courage to mention the umbrella to the heroine, he unexpectedly heard the heroine and heroine chatting.
Jiang Zhi’s face was filled with a happy smile, and she said to the male protagonist Shen Lan: “Speaking of which, we also met on a rainy day. If the wind hadn’t blown over, we wouldn’t have become friends because of an umbrella.”
Shu Hua subconsciously looked at the wet umbrella at the back of the classroom, swallowing all the words back in his stomach, and his secret love ended without any problems.
Shi Xingze was very interested in this role. Although Shu Hua, the third male lead, did not have many lines in the entire script, and often only had eye scenes and action scenes, Shi Xingze still decided to audition.
At the Starlight Training Camp, Shi Xingze only had the rap for his third performance left, and there was not even any dancing. He could see that the players in the same group were already showing signs of decline, and he just wanted to try not to make any mistakes, so Shi Xingze basically only needed to practice his rap well.
For him, the most important thing now is to grasp the script.
Shi Xingze sent a message to his assistant, asking him whether the story was original or adapted. The assistant replied that he didn’t know, so Shi Xingze had to ask Brother Long, who immediately replied that it was original.
Shi Xingze flipped through the script, found an empty notebook, and slowly recorded his thoughts on the characters, so that he would be prepared when he went to the audition.
The audition was scheduled for a few days, and Shi Xingze gradually focused on the new script. He sent a message to Brother Long to ask if he could change his assistant. He always felt that this assistant was not very professional. He didn’t pay attention to anything when he went to shoot an advertisement last time. He also dealt with the communication with the brand himself.
It is acceptable for Shi Xingze to be a non-professional in the short term, but he will have to audition soon. If everything goes well, he will join the team. Once filming starts, he will not be able to take care of many things. If the assistant is still like this, Shi Xingze will be very tired.
Brother Long immediately replied that these matters should be left to him and asked Shi Xingze not to worry.
Shi Xingze replied that he understood, and then put the script aside for the time being. In the afternoon, he and the players in the same group had already gone to the practice room one after another. Shi Xingze had to go there after packing his things.
Although their group is destined to be eliminated, several contestants have gone through so many rounds, and their mentality is much better than before. They rehearsed laughing and talking, and even made an appointment to eat hot pot together after recording the third performance. After all, they are brothers in distress.
Shi Xingze smiled and took pictures with his fellow contestants. Someone touched Shi Xingze and asked him: “What are you going to do in the future, idol? Or a singer?”
“Actor.” Shi Xingze pointed to the mirror and said, “I want to be an actor.”
Several other people nodded, too. There are too few domestic stages. What kind of future can there be as an idol? It is better to become an actor. If you join a few more groups, you can make everything back.
Shi Xingze saw what the others were thinking and didn’t try to defend himself. He stood up and said he wanted to get some air. After walking out of the training room, he walked along the corridor to the stage.
Unlike during the official recording, there was no one in the studio, the staff also went to take a break, and the stage was also dark.
Shi Xingze walked to the stage and sat down cross-legged. He turned on the flash of his mobile phone and took a selfie of himself and the stage behind him as a souvenir of his participation in the Starlight Training Camp. After all, he had worked hard.
On the day of the audition, Brother Long came in person, which Shi Xingze did not expect.
Usually, an agent will not have only one artist, and Fantasy Entertainment, where Shi Xingze works, is no exception. Unless the artist is very famous, he and Brother Long obviously are not.
Brother Long wiped the sweat from his forehead and pulled his tie apart slightly. Only then did he bother to explain to Shi Xingze: “The assistant assigned to you by the company before is not good enough. The new assistant is not in place yet, so I came here to follow up.”
Shi Xingze could feel that Brother Long was having a hard time in the company recently, and he was worried about his situation: “What about your other artists? I can audition myself, don’t worry.”
“Other artists?” Brother Long said as if he heard a joke: “You mean those artists who have average looks, no special skills, and want to play the leading male lead or the leading female lead? I can’t serve them and I can’t afford to offend them, so I just go and stay by myself.”
Shi Xingze: “…”
Seeing him like this, Shi Xingze stopped mentioning the matter and walked into the studio with Brother Long to audition.
But as soon as he entered the lounge, he met a pale male artist walking out, shaking his head dejectedly at his manager. It seemed that not only was he not selected, he should be criticized miserably.
When the other artists in the lounge saw this scene, they who were not nervous at first began to be on tenterhooks.
Shi Xingze’s mentality was relatively stable. When he sat down and waited, he took out the script and his notebook as usual and read and wrote, trying to record all his inspirations and insights.
But Shi Xingze didn’t look away for long before he noticed a line of sight lingering on him and refused to move away.He closed the script, raised his head slightly and looked around, and happened to meet Jin Yan, who had also come for the audition.
Shi Xingze stared blankly, Jin Yan also wanted to act in this script?
Jin Yan showed a friendly smile to Shi Xingze, but Shi Xingze lowered his head again as if he didn’t see it, leaving Jin Yan where he was.Jin Yan had targeted him so much before, and Shi Xingze wasn’t stupid, so of course he wouldn’t give him a good look.
The smile on Jin Yan’s face froze, and he subconsciously lowered his head to hide his expression.
He did it on purpose.
The jealousy in Jin Yan’s heart stung him like a poisonous snake. How could Pang Yalong find such good resources for Shi Xingze? Why could even Sun Wei eagerly snatch Shi Xingze away from Pang Yalong!
Last time, Jin Yan wanted to ask Sun Wei about his development, but he accidentally bumped into a conversation between Sun Wei and the company’s senior executives. Jin Yan stopped by accident, wanting to know what they were talking about.
In the end, he didn’t expect that Sun Wei actually wanted to poach Shi Xingze from someone else. He clearly knew that he hated Shi Xingze the most!
That’s all. Jin Yan can comfort himself that Shi Xingze is still competing and is more popular than him. It’s normal for Sun Wei to be tempted, but Sun Wei actually wants to find a sponsor for Shi Xingze. Sun Weiti has never mentioned this to Jin Yan before.
Although Jin Yan looked down on others trying to find financial sponsors, Sun Wei didn’t even mention this opportunity to him. Wasn’t he slapping him in the face and saying that he wasn’t even worthy of finding financial sponsors? How could he not hate Shi Xingze!
But Jin Yan is now alone and weak. Not only can he not fall out with Sun Wei, he also has to coax him. Especially last time, Sun Wei found out that Shi Xingze deleted him after he declined. He was so angry that he found out that he had bribed the other party to blackmail him.
Jin Yan and Sun Wei apologized. No matter how much Sun Wei scolded him, Jin Yan didn’t reply. Sun Wei then found a way to include him in the audition list, but instead of being the third male lead, he was the fourth male lead with a lower ranking.
As for the sponsor, Sun Wei said that it depends on Jin Yan’s performance this time, so Jin Yan has to win the role of the fourth male lead no matter what.
“Next!”
Shi Xingze was still immersed in the script and did not react. Brother Long anxiously closed his script: “It’s your turn, play well and don’t be nervous!”
The script in his hand was taken away by Brother Long and he later studied under Xing Zecai.After reacting, he stood up, pushed down the wrinkles in his clothes, and walked in.
The director and producer were very low-pressure, and the screenwriter looked at Shi Xingze as if his energy had been drained, looking uninterested.
The director of the play “The Way the Wind Blows” is Fu Ling, who is now a senior student at Jiangxi Film and Television Academy. The screenwriter Yu Huan is also his classmate and friend. The two of them were lucky enough to be spotted by the current management, but they were not satisfied with the audition.
The male artist was scolded and cried by Director Fu before. Director Fu was very picky and had no idea what the people in front of him were doing, yet he was able to make Shu Hua feel resentful.The producer felt that Fu Ling’s requirements were too high, and the two had just finished arguing.
“My name is Shi Xingze. I am an artist from Fantasy Entertainment. I am here to audition Shu Hua today.” Shi Xingze prepared himself mentally and was not affected by the low pressure in the room. Instead, Director Fu raised his head and glanced at him.
Director Fu pointed at the script: “Try the scene where Shu Hua hears the male and female protagonists chatting.”
Shi Xingze nodded, and when he raised his eyes again, his whole temperament had changed.
Shi Xingze seemed to want to step forward to talk to the heroine, but his footsteps suddenly seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he could only vaguely hear the words “we got married because of an umbrella” in his ears.
Umbrella?
Shi Xingze subconsciously looked at the wet umbrella outside the classroom. It was as artistic and unique as the first time he saw it.
Someone seemed to be talking to him. It was Jiang Zhi asking him if he had anything to do with him, but Shu Hua just pursed his lips, shook his head and left.
Director Fu’s fingers stopped typing the script at some point, and screenwriter Yu Huan also looked at Shi Xingze with bright eyes.
Shi Xingze breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from their expressions, he should be doing well, right?
