QWAPMP Chapter 44
by Volare“What does Little Song always want me to understand?” Yan Ye’s eyes held a playful smile, “Song Xi is an artist in my company. Shouldn’t I, as the boss, protect my own employee? Or should I be like you, turning a blind eye?”
Although Song Xi had been recognized by the Song family, he hadn’t received what should have belonged to him: identity, status—he never had any of these things.
Song Mu Han wasn’t aware that a small company like Lehua had been acquired; he only learned it now, hearing Yan Ye say it himself that Song Xi’s company belonged to him.
However, Yan Ye’s words left him speechless.
Yan Ye, seeing him silent, said with a disdainful look, “Just because you say he’s a member of the Song family, does that make him one?”
“What do you mean?” Song Mu Han’s face darkened.
“Have you ever asked Song Xi if he wants to be a member of the Song family?” In the past, Yan Ye wouldn’t have dared to be so certain that Song Xi didn’t want to be a part of the Song family, but now things were different.
What the Song family couldn’t give him, Song Xi could obtain from Yan Ye’s side.
In that case, why would Song Xi want to bind himself to the Song family?
Song Mu Han’s expression was so dark that it seemed as if water would drip from it. Even with his good upbringing, he couldn’t endure Yan Ye’s repeated mockery.
“He doesn’t want to?” Song Mu Han gripped the coffee cup in his hand, unwilling to believe Yan Ye’s words.
The Song family was, after all, a wealthy and influential family in A City, a family that countless actors wanted to associate with.
But now, in Yan Ye’s mouth, it had become a family that was nothing special.
“Why should he want to?” Yan Ye retorted, seeing his brow furrowed, and smiled, “Did your Song family help him when his career was in trouble? Or did you come out to help him when he was being scolded by haters and criticized for his acting, causing him to be replaced as the male lead?”
A momentary confusion flashed in Song Mu Han’s eyes, clearly unaware of what Yan Ye was talking about.
Yan Ye shook his head and said to himself, “You didn’t, right? If the Song family had helped him, had paid a little attention to him, he wouldn’t have been bullied!”
Xue Xuan initially gained some popularity thanks to that male lead role. If Song Xi hadn’t learned from his manager that Xue Xuan was using him, and hadn’t torn into Xue Xuan online, lowering the other’s popularity, Xue Xuan’s status might have risen, and it wouldn’t have been his and Song Xi’s turn to be rivals.
It was also because of this that the two fanbases had been constantly feuding, and Song Xi himself didn’t hide his dislike for Xue Xuan.
“Who could bully him?” Song Mu Han didn’t believe that Song Xi, who was covered in thorns, would be the one being bullied.
At home, Song Xi was someone who dared to mock even their father, how could he…
Thinking of the entertainment industry, a mixed bag of good and bad, Song Mu Han’s disbelieving expression changed again and again, and finally, he dared not look directly at Yan Ye.
He would investigate. If things were really as Yan Ye said, the Song family definitely wouldn’t turn a blind eye.
Song Mu Han left with a heavy heart, forgetting why he had come to find Yan Ye in the first place.
Not long after he left, Yan Ye’s phone rang every few minutes, all messages from Song Xi.
The other party said he had arrived at the audition location, which was in the mountains outside the suburbs.
After a while, another message came, Song Xi said he was a little nervous, many actors with higher fame and popularity than him had come.
Perhaps because there was no reply, Song Xi continued to send several emoji, all asking, “Are you there? Where are you?”
A series of cute emoji were continuously sent to him. After two hours, the messages ended with an unprompted sentence.
[The director told us to climb trees, hahaha, none of them are as good at climbing trees as I am!]
Seeing this sentence, Yan Ye smiled. He could already imagine Song Xi’s eyebrows raised, his eyes full of pride, when he typed this sentence.
[Not bad, very impressive.]
Yan Ye praised him, the curve of his lips rising. Seeing the phone interface showing that the other party was still typing, he directly made a phone call.
“Is it over? Do you want me to pick you up?” Yan Ye asked, already picking up the car keys on the desk.
The voice on the other end of the phone didn’t hesitate and immediately gave a detailed address.
The first day of auditions for the movie “Wolf Child” ended. Everyone went back with expectant hearts, while also studying the habits of wild wolves.
All of them received a small portion of the script on the day of the audition. Before that, they only knew the movie’s name and knew nothing about the plot.
When they arrived at the scene for the audition, they were told by the director to climb trees, everyone was stunned for a moment, but they still did it.
It was just that all the actors present, except for Song Xi, none of them could climb up the tree nimbly.
This also gave Song Xi a bit of confidence. Although those people were more popular than him, more famous than him, no one could climb trees better than him.
Song Xi was complacent about climbing trees. Qiao Xin, who had come with him, couldn’t stand it anymore, fearing that his proud expression would blind others, he slapped him and said annoyedly, “Control the smile on your face!”
Song Xi wanted to complain to Brother Qiao, when he felt a gaze fixed on him. He turned his head according to his feeling and found the director was looking at him.
Sitting in Yan Ye’s car, Song Xi told Yan Ye everything about the audition from beginning to end, “You said why the director was looking at me! Did he find out that I’m particularly good at climbing trees, so he took a fancy to me and wants to give me a role?”
Having spent half a month alone with Yan Ye, Song Xi trusted Yan Ye very much and said whatever he thought of.
Yan Ye took the time to look back at him, his hands never leaving the steering wheel, “If so, what role do you want to play?”
Song Xi thought seriously for a moment, “A college student who enters the forest for an adventure?”
Yan Ye’s throat made a low sound, just a simple word, “Hmm?”
Song Xi leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and dared to say the role he wanted to play, “Actually, I want to play the wolf child!”
He had read the script, and he could do almost everything the wolf child could do, and he had a strange feeling about the wolf child character, he felt that he could play it well.
Only then did Yan Ye curl the corner of his mouth, “If you want to play it, then work hard to get it. What Huang He values most when filming is acting skills and character.”
Huang He made movies to win awards, so naturally he was afraid of encountering actors with character problems. If things went wrong, a well-made movie would collapse because of an actor’s character problems, causing the movie to be unable to be released, which of course the director who put in the effort would not want to see.
And now, Song Xi’s popularity with passersby online was still good. His acting skills were also constantly improving. The company letting him take acting classes didn’t mean he could just show up every day.
“I will work hard.” Song Xi said with a serious face, his eyes extremely earnest.
Just as Yan Ye was about to say something, the phone rang, a message from Director Huang.
He picked up the phone, opened the message and looked at it, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious.
[Yan Ye has good taste, the person is a little young, but he looks like he has potential.]
It couldn’t be ruled out that the other party had flattering intentions, of course it was also possible that the other party had already taken a fancy to Song Xi, that’s why he sent this message.
The man driving looked at the phone, and a smile appeared on his face, which made it difficult for Song Xi not to care about what Yan Ye saw!
Song Xi was too embarrassed to ask, so he kept peeking at him, until he got out of the car, he still didn’t know what Yan Ye saw that made him smile so happily!
It only took three days, “Wolf Child” announced the end of the audition, and on the third day, Song Xi received the news that he had passed the “Wolf Child” audition and would play the male lead.
The news came too suddenly, Song Xi opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the man next to him who hadn’t gotten out of bed because he was on vacation, “Yan Ye, I was selected…”
He was selected, he really got the role of “Wolf Child”!
Three days before, after receiving that message from Huang He, Yan Ye knew how big the possibility of Song Xi being selected was, but he was worried that something might change, so he didn’t tell him.
And now, listening to the ecstatic cheers of the person next to him, it was right not to say it at that time, because if he had said it, he might have been mentally prepared, and after receiving the news that he was selected, he wouldn’t be as happy as he was now.
Song Xi pushed him, thinking he was still asleep, wanting to share this matter with him immediately.
“Yan… hmm…”
A gentle kiss blocked all his next words in his throat, a pair of warm big hands gently rubbing his neck.
Song Xi’s ear tips faintly heated up, unwilling to push him away, the phone in his hand finally fell to the floor, his arms wrapped around him.
A burst of ambiguous sounds came from the bedroom, faintly joyous sounds, and the two of them missed breakfast time.
A week later, someone anonymously revealed online that the well-known director Huang He’s new movie was about to start filming, and the lead actor was an 18th-tier little star, who had recently become popular and had also endorsed a big brand.
From these pieces of information, netizens immediately guessed it was Song Xi, and they all ran to his Weibo to ask.
[Huang He’s movie? Is it possible for Song Xi to be selected? Can someone tell me if this is true or false?]
[Although Song Xi’s character is good, can his acting skills really play Huang He’s movie well?]
[No, I really like Huang He’s movies, and I don’t want to see him make a bad movie.]
……
He didn’t know who released the news. Qiao Xin didn’t dare to come out and respond now. He could only shake his head and say to Song Xi, “Just look at the netizens’ comments. Don’t respond for the time being.”
“Okay, I know.” Song Xi smiled and lowered his eyebrows, packing his things and preparing to leave the company to go home.
Qiao Xin nodded. Because he still had something to discuss with the management of Lehua, he let Song Xi go back alone first.
At the entrance of the company, a Bentley was parked in the middle of the road. Because it was a luxury car, Song Xi thought it would be Yan Ye, so he took a few more glances. Who knew the door of the driver’s seat suddenly opened, and a man he hadn’t seen in a long time appeared in front of him.
Song Mu Han didn’t look too good, his lips were pale, and although he was wearing a pair of glasses, it was still possible to see the dark circles under his eyes.
With a tired look on his face, Song Mu Han rubbed his eyebrows, and for the first time, he spoke to Song Xi calmly, “Let’s talk?”
