Reborn As The Villain President's LoverChapter 122

Ji Qingzhou felt a little troubled as he thought of it. He really doubted Sheng Wenxi’s mind. He was a well-known director. Why was he still persisting? As long as he was willing, many people wanted to act in his movies, so why cling to him?

        However, for Sheng Wenxi, each of his creations, were like his children, the growth of this child, he wasn’t willing to have a bit of compromise, he felt that Ji Qingzhou was suitable, then he wouldn’t  consider others as the second best. KMmZ1

Ji Qingzhou didn’t know this, of course, Sheng Wenxi didn’t tell him. Therefore, he still rejected the movie and insisted on his decision.

        When Sheng Wenxi came back to the set, he saw Chu Cheng sitting on the chair he was sitting on before, watching Ji Qingzhou act. That was the best place in this rest area. Sheng Wenxi wanted to speak, but it wasn’t his exclusive position after all, so he had to sit down beside Chu Cheng.

Chu Cheng looked at Sheng Wenxi, who naturally sat down in a chair beside him, and asked curiously, “Director Sheng, I remember that Qingzhou already rejected you, right?”

        Sheng Wenxi turned his head to look at him and asked contemptuously, “Are you his agent?” ns0RiC

        Xiao Qiao instantly trembled a little.

     Chu Cheng smiled, “I’m not his agent, but I’m his guardian.”

Sheng Wenxi thought that he was really shameless, he wasn’t bashful to say this to others in public, was he afraid that others wouldn’t know his relationship with Ji Qingzhou?

        He sneered and mockingly replied, “He’s an adult, what guardian does he need?”

BxItAO

        “Adults don’t need to be managed by others? After you become an adult, your parents can’t care about you?”

    This sounded like a blatant statement to Sheng Wenxi that he was Ji Qingzhou’s godfather.

        Sheng Wenxi slightly huffed, “Mr. Chu, be careful with your words.”

“Why should I proceed with caution? Your parents will still manage you when you are an adult. I am his brother, so I am still qualified to manage him. “ 3UWddi

“I don’t know when Ji Qingzhou got a brother?”

“Then there are too many things you don’t know.” Chu Cheng laughed, “Wait a moment after the scene, I’ll call him brother, see if he responds.”

        Sheng Wenxi didn’t say anything, but thought, Does he dare not to? The two of you have that kind of relationship, if you say anything, he won’t dare ignore it.

He was too lazy to continue talking to Chu Cheng, and Chu Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. They both concentrated on watching Ji Qingzhou act, and didn’t argue for a while. 2T1mC5

        Xiao Qiao sighed with relief, the atmosphere just now was really unfriendly.

Ji Qingzhou finished his scene and returned to his rest area. When he saw Sheng Wenxi there, he politely greeted him then he heard Chu Cheng, “Brother.”

Ji Qingzhou had already gotten used to him declaring them as distant brothers on set, so he naturally asked him, “What’s wrong?”

        Chu Cheng patted the chair beside him, “Sit.” 14sLwz

        Ji Qingzhou walked over and sat down.

        Sheng Wenxi saw him sitting on Chu Cheng’s side, he felt a little annoyed, he stood up and hurriedly said to Ji Qingzhou, “Ji Qingzhou, come over here a moment.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

       After saying that, he turned around and walked not far away.

        Ji Qingzhou was a little confused, but because of Sheng Wenxi’s identity, he said to Chu Cheng, “I’ll go over.” 19Hqkl

Chu Cheng felt that he didn’t have to go, but since Ji Qingzhou said so, he didn’t argue and nodded.

Ji Qingzhou and Sheng Wenxi came to a relatively remote corner, and Sheng Wenxi asked him, “Do you still not want to play Ah Heng?”

        Ji Qingzhou nodded, “I won’t act in this movie.”

        “What if I pay you a high enough fee?” rNMRdO

        “It’s not a matter of money,” Ji Qingzhou said, “I don’t want to act in this drama, I just simply don’t think I’m suitable.”

        “One hundred million.” Sheng Wenxi said.

Ji Qingzhou paused, the pay for movies had always been lower than a TV drama’s pay, what was more, with his popularity, he couldn’t get such a sky-high pay at all, such figures were for those who had made great achievements.

      “I ……” 4OjvTs

        “Two hundred million, three hundred million, four hundred million ……” Sheng Wenxi kept increasing the number.

Ji Qingzhou quickly interrupted him. “Wait, wait, Director Sheng, you misunderstood. I really didn’t refuse because of the pay.”

“I know, I’m giving you this money, and it’s not the pay.”

        This time Ji Qingzhou didn’t understand, “ah?” 2AXUag

        Sheng Wenxi looked at him, “What is your relationship with Chu Cheng?”

        “He is my distant brother.”

        Sheng Wenxi let out a laugh, “I don’t remember the Chu family having relatives surnamed Ji.”

        Ji Qingzhou smiled and momentarily felt embarrassed to be revealed. xlG2W4

        “Godbrother?” Sheng Wenxi asked him.

        “My friend.” Ji Qingzhou said.

Sheng Wenxi only thought he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to admit it. He pinched his brow and helplessly said, “Ji Qingzhou, you are very talented, you should cherish yourself.”

        “I cherish myself.” Ji Qingzhou whispered, otherwise, he wouldn’t have refused Sheng Wenxi’s invitation. VDjTAt

        Sheng Wenxi looked at him, the feelings in his heart were a bit complicated, he initially felt when Ji Qingzhou refused, that he as an actor, had no spirit, he didn’t think about progress, he wasn’t a professional actor, and even felt he was a bit superficial. But it happened that Ji Qingzhou’s acting skills were very good, he was permeated with spirit, so he couldn’t bear to give up. He wanted to polish this diamond in the rough, but found that this jade had long been held in the hands of others.

        The relationship between Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng gave him a new interpretation of Ji Qingzhou’s refusal – it was indeed a bad idea to let a canary under control pursue art, after all, he was still in the palm of Chu Cheng, what he needed was popularity and money. So Sheng Wenxi wanted to give him money, give him extra money than he would normally get for a film so that he could be released from his relationship with Chu Cheng as soon as possible.

        The second young master of Western Entertainment, Ji Qingzhou was an artist of Western Entertainment, in Sheng Wenxi’s eyes, Chu Cheng wanted him, so Ji Qingzhou had no room to resist.

        “You don’t understand what I mean, I’ll give you a higher salary, you can take this money to do other things, later if I have other roles for you to act, I will also lower your salary at my discretion, this money is an advance to you, in the future, you’ll be my actor.” tn6gl2

        Ji Qingzhou didn’t understand why things had developed like this, a few days ago, Sheng Wenxi felt that he wasn’t a highly educated actor and couldn’t go out of his comfort zone? How come now, all of a sudden, he wanted him to become his actor? Was it to teach him better?

        “I don’t need to.” He said, “I don’t need so much money for the time being, and besides, if your future films are of this type, I don’t think I’ll be willing to act in them either.” He said truthfully, “I want my decision to be in my own hands, not because I took your money and accepted your favor, even if I don’t want to act, I’ll be too embarrassed to refuse.”

        “Is your decision now in your hands?”

        Ji Qingzhou nodded, “Of course.” BznN1Q

        “Chu Cheng won’t interfere with your decision?”

“He doesn’t interfere most of the time, occasionally he may have an opinion, but it’s not a big deal.” Ji Qingzhou replied.

        “Then you are willing to let him interfere?”

        “Willing.” Ji Qingzhou didn’t avoid his question, “He can interfere with anything I do.” FtkgI2

        “You should not let an amateur like him intervene in your path. If you wish to go farther, you should have better planning. Ji Qingzhou, if you are willing, you can sign to my studio and I can help you with better planning and other things.”

        “No, there’s no need.” Ji Qingzhou didn’t understand how Sheng Wenxi suddenly wanted to sign him, but, “I won’t leave Western Entertainment, moreover, my acting path, I want to plan it myself, I think it’s fine the way it is now.”

        Signing with Sheng Wenxi, with him as a backer, it would indeed be easier to get good resources and win awards, but following someone like Sheng Wenxi would definitely result in losing his autonomy. Although he wanted to win awards, he wanted to have his own autonomy more. Western Entertainment was just fine, Zhou Chengfeng had always respected him, even Jingxing was also very good to him, moreover, Western Entertainment was owned by the Chu family, he was making money from filming, which was equivalent to making money for the Chu family and for Chu Cheng, which made him feel very happy.

        He also expected to work hard and earn enough honor for Western Entertainment in three years so that he could gain the goodwill of Chu Xin and for Sheng Wenxi, not to mention thinking about it, he didn’t even understand how the topic jumped to this. SHZdrB

      “Director Sheng, I appreciate that you want to sign me, but I don’t plan to leave Western Entertainment, I like my current state and don’t want to sign with another company. Your script is very good and signing with your company is attractive, but it’s not for me, I will only be an artist of Western Entertainment, and unless one day I don’t want to act anymore and leave the industry, I won’t leave Western Entertainment. So, I also hope that you will not waste any more time with me.”

       “Honestly, you have been on the set for the past few days, everyone is watching me, I also feel a bit burdened, I appreciate your invitation and recognition of me, but, I am a very stubborn person and also a selfish person, I don’t have that noble artistic pursuit, I don’t want my life to be affected by acting a movie, so no matter how long you stay here, I won’t accept. Sorry.”

       Sheng Wenxi looked at him silently.

Ji Qingzhou felt that what he said was already very clear, so he said to Sheng Wenxi, “I’ll go back first, and you can go back too. Goodbye”, then he turned and walked to his rest area. BVItUP

Sheng Wenxi looked at him, he seemed different from what he thought, but he couldn’t tell what was different. Ji Qingzhou seemed to be really satisfied with his present life. Why? What was so good about being a canary? Or because he wasn’t at ease with him, so he preferred to stay in his familiar cage?

Sheng Wenxi didn’t quite understand. He was born with money and status. He didn’t understand the thoughts of people who were ordinary and even had an embarrassing family environment. He thought that he would lend a helping hand, and Ji Qingzhou would promise or even thank him, but Ji Qingzhou didn’t. Was he afraid of going out of a cage and into another cage? Sheng Wenxi thought that he was a little too cautious.

However, he did spend too long here for Ji Qingzhou, so he was going to leave. For Sheng Wenxi, no one deserved his great care. He had given enough patience to Ji Qingzhou, and Ji Qingzhou didn’t cherish it, so he didn’t need to waste any more time.

Before he left, he exchanged WeChat usernames with Ji Qingzhou. Ji Qingzhou didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until he left. Sheng Wenxi’s self-awareness was too strong, and Ji Qingzhou sometimes felt tired talking with him. He also had a rich family background, Chu Cheng would listen to his thoughts and opinions, but Sheng Wenxi would only make him listen to his own ideas. 8NKZWz

        He didn’t like such a dictatorial person, compared to Sheng Wenxi, Chu Cheng seemed more valuable.

        Ji Qingzhou turned to look at Chu Cheng, “Sheng Wenxi is gone.”

        “He should have left a long time ago.” Chu Cheng didn’t have a good impression of Sheng Wenxi, in their two meetings, Sheng Wenxi’s arrogance was annoying.

        Ji Qingzhou reached out and hugged him, then he looked at him, “He said he wanted to sign me.” Y6MhLB

        Chu Cheng was a little surprised, “Why does he want to sign you?”

        “Probably when he signs me, he’ll be my boss, so I’ll have to play his role.”

        “He’s really patient.”

        “That’s why I didn’t agree.” Ji Qingzhou said, “I told him that as long as I am still in this industry, I won’t leave Western Entertainment.” ZgbdLw
