Wu Hui obviously thought so, he was very satisfied with their performance, taking advantage of Kong Yan’s current state, he decided to film Fang Yaoxuan’s previous scenes.
This was also the time when Zhou Chengfeng received an email, the content of the email was very simple, but the information revealed was enough to make Zhou Chengfeng surprised, not for other reasons, but this email, was sent by Sheng Wenxi’s assistant – Sheng Wenxi wanted Ji Qingzhou to act as the male lead in his new movie.
Zhou Chengfeng resisted the excitement in his heart, downloaded the attachment and looked at the script of Sheng Wenxi’s new play. After all, Sheng Wenxi had risen to fame in the past few years, winning several awards, he was now the hottest director in the film industry. What was more, he had a gold medal director father. As long as he acted in Sheng Wenxi’s movie, Ji Qingzhou’s future would be much smoother.
However, as he flipped through the pages, Zhou Chengfeng’s brow slowly wrinkled. This script …… Zhou Chengfeng didn’t think Ji Qingzhou would take it.
Ji Qingzhou was a little surprised when he heard about it. Up to now, only the drama “A Page of Love Poem” had been broadcasted, “Broken Light” hadn’t been released yet, and “Partridge Sky” was still in the late stage. Sheng Wenxi, a new director, didn’t seem to be casting according to his popularity. How could he pick him? However, it was a good opportunity. No matter why, Ji Qingzhou was willing to give it a try.
“It’s just ……” Zhou Chengfeng handed him the script that he had Xiao Qiao print out, “Take a look at it, this movie, I don’t think you’ll take it.”
Ji Qingzhou smiled and curiously opened the script, with a sinking heart, he realised Zhou Chengfeng was right, he really couldn’t take this move.
It was a literary film.
A young man Ah Heng fell in love with the young man who lived across the street from his house who always played the guitar indoors, he always laid on his windowsill, listening to the melodious sound of the guitar across the street and watching the vague silhouette of the man behind the curtains of the windowsill across the street.
At one point, the man across the street just happened to pull back the curtain and met Ah Heng’s eyes. Ah Heng smiled at him and asked him, “What’s your name? My name is Ah Heng.”
The man answered him, “My name is Jiang Bin.”
The two soon became acquainted, and Ah Heng was no longer just lying on his windowsill listening to Jiang Bin play the guitar, he began to run to Jiang Bin’s house and sit beside him to listen to him play a melodious melody. In one afternoon, listening to the sound of the guitar, Ah Heng couldn’t help but kiss Jiang Bin, who didn’t push him away, and the two hugged each other.

He was a young man, but he still had the spirit and innocence of a teenager, and Jiang Bin was attracted to him and fell in love with him step by step.
However, what Ah Heng didn’t know was that Jiang Bin had a girlfriend for many years, Lu Qingyan, who was studying in a foreign country and said that when she graduated, they would get married. The song that Ah Heng liked the most, which Jiang Bin played, was written by him for his girlfriend, Lu Qingyan.
As Lu Qingyan’s return was approaching, Jiang Bin was afraid and carefully wandered between Lu Qingyan and Ah Heng, planned to get married with Lu Qingyan while enjoying the passionate love with Ah Heng.
However, this was still completely shattered with the arrival of his girlfriend.
When Ah Heng found out everything, he was unwilling to accept that he had interfered with someone else’s love and fled, Jiang Bin hid it from Lu Qingyan and continued to plan the wedding with her, but also missed Ah Heng in the dead of the night.
He went to see Ah Heng, and the two argued, cursed, but cried and laughed. Ah Heng asked him to give him up, but Jiang Bin couldn’t do it. Ah Heng asks him, “What do you want to do then?” Jiang Bin looked at him and couldn’t say anything.
Ah Heng saw the need to escape and confusion in his eyes and was ready to leave in disappointment, but Jiang Bin frantically hugged him, begging him to stay. The quarrel between the two was watched by Lu Qingyan, who appeared at some point. She let out a scream, ran down the stairs with Jiang Bin’s dumbfounded gaze on her, and then had a car accident.
Lu Qingyan was left with a disability and Jiang Bin proposed to her and married her. Ah Heng watched them from afar and heard Lu Qingyan say, as she passed him, “You did this to me, you ruined my life.”
Ah Heng felt guilty and blamed himself, and even hated himself for having liked Jiang Bin.
He watched Jiang Bin and Lu Qingyan get married and listened as Lu Qingyan said to the surrounding neighbors, “Be careful of that man in 601, that’s a pervert who likes to steal other people’s husbands, my leg was ruined by him.”
Jiang Bin stood next to her and didn’t say a word.
He had actually argued with Lu Qingyan, when Lu Qingyan first said this about Ah Heng. But Lu Qingyan said vehemently, “If it weren’t for him, would I be in this state! My whole life is ruined! I’m going to spend my whole life in this wheelchair!”
She looked at Jiang Bin with heavy hatred in her eyes and she warned him, “If you say one more word for that bitch, I’ll tell your parents and my parents what’s going on with you guys and tell them how I broke my leg.”
Jiang Bin compromised, and since then he hadn’t said one more word about the matter, as if he couldn’t hear anything.
Ah Heng felt the cynicism of his neighbors, listened to them sneer at him one by one for ruining the rest of a girl’s life. He couldn’t bear the pressure and tried hard to explain, but no one listened to him. He desperately wanted to tell others that it wasn’t like that, and desperately wanted Jiang Bin to say a few words for him, but Jiang Bin didn’t say a word.
Ah Heng began to have nightmares all night long, dreams full of strange people pointing at him, and it was Lu Qingyan in a wheelchair who said to him, “You ruined my life.”
He began to become thin, silent, and depressed. He has been bright and cheerful, with a perpetual glow in his eyes, but at this moment, it was instantly extinguished.
He stood at the intersection, watching the traffic lights change, and walked towards the traffic in the trance from a long period of insomnia.
He thought the traffic light was red, but it was actually green, he thought he had met someone worthy of his affection, but that person was actually not worthy.
He finally fell asleep forever in the midst of all the noise.
Ji Qingzhou sighed, very self-conscious and said, “Politely decline, this movie, I can’t act in it.”
Zhou Chengfeng guessed so, Ji Qingzhou was a gifted actor, this kind of actor’s biggest advantage was easily entering into the scene, but if he got too deep into the scene, he couldn’t get out.
“I also think so, I will send a reply, don’t take it too seriously.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who will make things difficult for myself.”
When Zhou Chengfeng saw that he still looked calm, he left and replied to the email.
However, he didn’t expect to receive a call from Sheng Wenxi that evening. Sheng Wenxi’s voice was filled with unfathomable surprise as he asked, “My assistant said that you politely declined our audition invitation for Ji Qingzhou?”
“Yes.” Zhou Chengfeng politely said, “Director Sheng, it’s an honor for Qingzhou to have you extend an invitation to audition, but this role, it’s not suitable for Qingzhou, I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean by not suitable for Ji Qingzhou? You don’t think it’s appropriate for Ji Qiaozhou to play a gay man? Is that all you see?”
“Of course not, I know that this theme can will awards, and you are an expert in this field. You considering Ji Qingzhou, to be honest, made him very happy. It’s just that Ji Qingzhou is a gifted actor, and it’s easy for him to get into a scene. Sometimes he gets into the scene deeply, and it takes a long time to recover. The latter part of this character is too depressing, so he’s afraid that he will enter the movie too deeply and won’t be able to get out. “
“He is an actor, a mature actor should have the spirit of dedication to the art, a good actor, should be able to let himself enter the scene when it is time to enter and leave it when it is time to exit the scene. If he is always lying in his comfort zone, taking a bunch of painless roles, then how can he progress? Or do you think that Ji Qingzhou’s acting skills no longer needs to progress.”
Zhou Chengfeng smiled and let out a laugh, “Director Sheng, I think you misunderstood. Firstly, I didn’t refuse on his behalf, but I asked him, he didn’t want to take it. Second, acting isn’t a mandatory job, I as an agent, is responsible for helping him to pull resources, talk about cooperation and make him popular, as for acting, if he’s willing to progress and thinks he still needs to progress, I will continue planning for him, but to a greater extent, it depends on his own will.”
“So, it’s useless for me to talk to you about this, right? I know.” Sheng Wenxi hung up the phone directly.
He looked out the window at the night and was a little disgruntled. Since his first movie won an award, which actor he invited to audition dared to turn him down. Especially in the past two years, countless actors had tried to meet him through fashion parties, charity galas and various film festivals, hoping to get a role in his films. He gave him the male lead role, and he dared to refuse?
Sheng Wenxi felt ridiculous, but he couldn’t help smiling at the thought of the other person’s eyes he saw on the set of “Partridge Day” that day. Such beautiful eyes, such a pair of eyes with feelings, it would be very suitable if it was Ah Heng’s eyes.
Sheng Wenxi lived smartly all his life, and never settled for second best. When the script was finished, he thought of Ji Qingzhou and his bright and clear eyes, so he asked his assistant to send the audition invitation of Ah Heng to him, but unexpectedly, he turned it down.
“Really not seeking fame and fortune.” Sheng Wenxi lamented, otherwise, how would he give up such an obvious opportunity to win an award.
He didn’t seek fame and fortune, but he, Sheng Wenxi, didn’t want to make do with it. Sheng Wenxi thought about it, then asked his assistant to find out Ji Qingzhou’s location. He planned to talk with him in person.
Oh what’s this? Is this time for CC jealousy arc?
I don’t like that script. It’s too depresing and simply sad. I trully don’t like films that make me cry.
Thank you for the chapter
+2
mysta?
Yup!!! Omg I’ve found another fellow mystake? 👀
+1 I don’t mind some (reasonable) angst, but it must be a (also reasonable) HE 🗣️
*by reasonable, I meant something that makes sense, not like the OG plot of this novel 😶
That script is too depressing, I read novel or watch movies to unwind, so sad story is no good.
Thank you for this chapter!!
Oh, is the drama already here? :’D That Sheng guy is funny… there were enough actors already who were too much into the role and yeah, it didn’t ended that good. (Don’t ask me for names, I can’t remember lol)
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
What a tragic script! I hope Zhouzhou doesn’t take it.
I really hate that type of scims the most. Despite having a girlfriend who he promised to marry he cheated with another guy. And masked this scummy behaviour with love words. Moreover even after his girlfriend returned he did not choose one of them but wanted to be in two boats. He entangled another person so thought having a thought of breaking up with his wife to be. His behaviour is just as filthy as he is. I don’t understand that girl as well. If you met a scum why do you have to marry him after all he has done ?
*So thought – should be without
This! I really dislike when the story make the queers characters suffer, is like, we have enough of this shi in real life why do you keep reminding me of that? :’D
That script is way too sad. I don’t want Ji Qingzhou to lose himself in that kind of depressing mood.
Thanks for the chapter!
Excuse me sir we don’t need a love rival now as CC already realize his feelings hahahaha
This script will ruin the actor if they don’t get out of the play in time, it’s simply time-ticking bomb.
I also don’t like that script, bad ending
That girl needed to break all her limbs, I hate girls like these who know their partner don’t like them but still stick to them like dog skin plaster
😦
This feels strange…that work might be “literary” but regardless of how the author is characterizing it, it’s a super homophobic plot…I thought THAT was going to be why JQ wouldn’t take it…wtf
