Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 34
byChapter 34 Chapter 34 Everyone in the room was guided by Fu…
Everyone in the room was startled by Director Fu, and Lu Jun jumped up from his seat, and his words became incoherent: “You…what do you want to do? I’m not wrong, that’s what it is.”
Lu Jun thought so in his heart, but he didn’t say anything, and he even felt that he was right in his heart.
That’s right. It’s not like he hasn’t read the script. The role of Gu Xu, the second male lead, is really uninteresting.He just helped the heroine pick up the umbrella, why didn’t he return it to her himself? As a result, the heroine and the hero were really together, and he started to play the secretly guarding thing again. Isn’t that just licking the dog?
But now that Director Fu was so angry, Lu Jun didn’t dare to say everything in his heart. He just sat in his seat unconvinced and quietly raised his eyes to see Director Fu’s reaction.
Director Fu stared at Lu Jun and suddenly sneered: “Since you have such disdain for this character, you don’t need to participate in the reading.”
“You want to kick me out of the crew? I signed the contract!”
Lu Jun was furious. He just said that the second male lead was a licker, but he didn’t say that he wouldn’t film it!
Director Fu said calmly: “Who said I was going to kick you out of the crew?”
Lu Jun looked at Director Fu blankly and heard him say: “Since you can’t read the script, there’s no need to participate in the reading. Go write a biography of Gu Xu and give it to me before filming starts. If you don’t want to write it, then you can act it as you want.”
After hearing this, Lu Jun couldn’t help but stand up, take his script and leave.His agent had just gone outside to explain things about the crew to his assistant. When he came back, he found that Lu Jun had run away. After asking, he realized that Lu Jun had said the wrong thing again.
Agent: …
The manager said some nice things to Director Fu, and then rushed to pursue his artist. Shi Xingze felt a little tired after watching this.
No one dared to say anything unnecessary during the ensuing reading, which was almost all about the plot. However, Shi Xingze could tell that Director Fu was in a bad mood, but he didn’t agree with Lu Jun’s opinion either.
Shi Xingze could see that Director Fu had very high requirements for the play, and there were some ideas that Shi Xingze had ignored when he read the script before. For example, when Bai He’s character Shen Lan realized his feelings for the heroine Jiang Zhi, he was not overjoyed at the first moment, but hesitant because he was afraid that it would break the inertia of his current life.
He took notes carefully. Although he was very tired at the end of the day, he gained a lot, especially some of the filming experiences Bai He and Dai Ke taught him, which he could not learn in school.
“What are Xingze going to eat?” Bai He came over to greet his teacher Xingze, and Dai Ke also answered with a smile: “I’m afraid it’s about to turn on the phone, and Xingze won’t dare to eat if he wants to, right?”
Shi Xingze nodded sheepishly: “Yeah, so I’m going to eat some light fat-reducing meals because I’m afraid I’ll gain weight if I’m on camera.”
His fat-reducing meal was prepared by Zhou Hai, the new assistant that Brother Long hired for him. He was quite satisfied with this assistant.Zhou Hai was tall, and Shi Xingze always suspected that he was a gym coach because of his size and muscles.
But Zhou Hai actually used to be a bodyguard. Brother Long was afraid that the same thing would happen again, so he hired him at a high price.
Bai He and Dai Ke saw that someone was preparing dinner for him, so they didn’t insist much and separated at the door.
Shi Xingze returned to the room and opened the fat-reducing meal prepared for him by Zhou Hai. He couldn’t help but sigh with a grimace. Although the meal was nutritious, it had no taste, so he could only hold on for a while.
There were still a few days before the official launch. At night, Shi Xingze was lying on a strange bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He knows his bed when he sleeps, and it usually takes him a few days to adapt to a change of place.If the Starlight Training Camp hadn’t been so intense and he was so tired that he lay down directly, it would probably have taken him a few days to adapt.
There were no shooting tasks today, and Shi Xingze was not tired. He kept thinking about what happened during the day and wanted to talk to someone.
But it was too late now, and it was not appropriate for him to go to Bai He or Dai Ke, so he had to hold his phone and click on someone’s profile picture, and tentatively sent a sentence: Are you asleep?
Shi Xingze didn’t expect Jian Xingzhi to reply, so he held his phone and scrolled for a while. When he was about to put down the phone and try to fall asleep, Jian Xingzhi replied.
Jian Xingzhi: Not yet. Why are you still up so late? Are you worried?
What’s on your mind?Actually, it’s not really that. Shi Xingze was just a little concerned about Lu Jun’s affairs during the day, but due to the confidentiality agreement, he couldn’t elaborate with Jian Xingzhi, so he had to blur out some key information: If two boys in the same dormitory fell in love with a girl at the same time, but one of them gave up for various reasons and decided to be friends with the heroine, would you think he was a licker?
Jian Xingzhi was a little confused when he saw the news. He looked at it for a while before he realized it. It was probably related to Shi Xingze’s new play.
Jian Xingzhi thought for a while and replied: No, maybe he just figured it out.
Shi Xingze has read the part about the second male lead Gu Xu in the script. In fact, the intersection between Gu Xu and the heroine Jiang Zhi is not as deep as that of the male lead Shen Lan. Most of the time, his impression of Jiang Zhi comes from Shen Lan’s description.
Therefore, Shi Xingze felt that Gu Xu was not the simple character that Lu Jun understood.
However, Jian Xingzhi’s answer sounded like he was not that proactive in matters of love. Shi Xingze couldn’t help but joke: Why does it sound like you are the type to quit voluntarily? Have you ever encountered such a situation?
Jian Xingzhi:…
Never mind that he was in this situation, he had never been in love before.He didn’t have any ideas before, but later Jian’s father and mother wanted to relieve themselves of the burden. Jian Lezhi was in school again, so he had no choice but to take over the company.
As a result, he has been so busy that now, except for those who want to get close to him with ulterior motives, he only has a few friends, and he is often laughed at by Karamatsu.
Jian Xingzhi replied with some heartbreak: I have never been in love, so I don’t know.
Huh?Has Jian Xingzhi never been in love?
This was somewhat beyond Shi Xingze’s expectation. After all, Jian Xingzhi’s appearance and net worth did not seem to be the type of person who would be short of people around him.But he felt that Jian Xingzhi would not lie to him, so he still replied:
Jian Xingzhi sighed. It wasn’t surprising that Shi Xingze thought so, but he still explained: Well, I won’t lie to you.
Shi Xingze was still looking at his phone and teasing Jian Xingzhi with a smile. When he saw his reply, his heart suddenly tightened. The phone slipped from his hand and almost hit the bridge of his nose. Fortunately, he caught the phone immediately.
He held the phone and didn’t know what to reply for a long time. Looking at the short sentence on the screen, he felt like he was solving a mathematical problem. Even he himself didn’t understand why he felt this way.
Jian Xingzhi saw that Shi Xingze didn’t reply for a long time. He thought it was not too early now and he was afraid of disturbing Shi Xingze’s rest, so he replied: Get some rest early and wish you all the best on the set.
Jian Xingzhi pressed his hand on send, and as soon as he clicked on it, he found that Shi Xingze also sent a message at the same time: I believe you.
Jian Xingzhi looked at the message and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. Shi Xingze spoke much better than Tang Songhe, and he was also very gentle.
He locked his phone screen and went to sleep contentedly.
Shi Xingze was a little unable to sleep. He thought for a long time before sending “I believe you”, but he didn’t know if it was because he and Jian Xingzhi sent messages at the same time. He thought that Jian Xingzhi went to bed without seeing his reply. He suddenly felt depressed and couldn’t sleep well all night long.
The next day, Shi Xingze went to read with a pair of panda eyes. Even Bai He and Dai Ke were teasing him about what he was doing at night.
Director Fu was still more optimistic about Shi Xingze. He coughed and said in a gentle tone: “Xingze, although we haven’t officially started the machine yet, we must maintain a good condition. If you have nothing to do at night, go to bed early.”
Shi Xingze lowered his head in embarrassment and said in a low voice: “I’m a bit sleepy, I promise I’ll adjust it before the official start of filming.”
Director Fu smiled knowingly: “It’s okay. It’s not a big deal. Just keep filming. Then let’s get started.”
Director Fu and Screenwriter Yu took everyone around to read the script. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Screenwriter Yu got up and opened the door, only to find that it was Lu Jun’s agent. Behind him was Lu Jun who was reluctant to follow him.
“Everyone is reading around. I happened to bring some breakfast. I can eat some if I get hungry later. Yesterday was our fault, Lu Jun. He will definitely follow the reading today.” The manager apologized to Director Fu, stretched his right hand back, and pulled Lu Jun forward like a piglet.
Lu Jun’s face was full of reluctance, but he still took out a small wrinkled notebook and handed it to Director Fu: “It was my fault yesterday. I wrote the biography you asked for.”
Director Fu was a little surprised to see that Lu Jun had actually written a biography. After all, Lu Jun always looked unconvinced, but he still gave him a step down and reached out to take the small notebook.
As a result, Director Fu closed it again not long after he opened it. He looked at Lu Jun with a complicated expression: “How about you just say it verbally.”
After all, Lu Jun’s handwriting was like a dog crawling, abstract and sloppy. It was probably only him who could understand it, and Director Fu had a headache just looking at it.
Lu Jun obviously knew that his handwriting was a little ugly, and said with erratic eyes: “Gu Xu likes Jiang Zhi. I often hear Shen Lan mentioning Jiang Zhi to him when he goes back to the dormitory. I think he quit later because he didn’t want to compete with his brothers, and he didn’t want to lose Jiang Zhi as a friend. As for why he was still willing to protect Jiang Zhi in the end, it was probably… the help between friends?”
Lu Jun held it in for a long time, but obviously couldn’t convince himself with the excuse of “friend”.
Although the results are still a bit biased, Lu Jun’s understanding is much better than before.Director Fu’s expression softened and he asked him to sit down and read together with everyone. Seeing this, the agent quietly left the room and thoughtfully closed the door.
Director Fu took the script and asked Lu Jun: “Where do you think Gu Xu’s feelings for Jiang Zhi come from?”
Lu Jun was a little confused. Wasn’t he getting along with the heroine?Gu Xu brought breakfast to the heroine and grabbed her seat in the morning class. Isn’t that how he fell in love with her?
Director Fu motioned for him to open the script: “Count carefully, do you have more scenes with Jiang Zhi or Shen Lan?”
Lu Jun opened the script and counted slowly. Halfway through the count, he stopped with a sudden realization: Oh, that’s right, it seems that there aren’t as many scenes opposite the male protagonist!
Director Fu saw that he was not stupid enough and pointed at the script to give him a hint: “Gu Xu doesn’t spend a lot of time with Jiang Zhi, so his impression of Jiang Zhi mostly comes from the mouth of his roommate, the male protagonist Shen Lan. In other words,”
Director Fu looked at Lu Jun, who hurriedly took his little notebook to record. Director Fu continued: “Gu Xu fell in love with the Jiang Zhi in Shen Lan’s mouth, or in other words, he fell in love with the Jiang Zhi in his imagination.”
Lu Jun couldn’t wait to say: “So he quit in the end because he discovered this, so he could quit so calmly!”
