The youngster on the stage wasn"t aware of it. To one"s surprise there was a little bit of sweat on his forehead. Who knew how he did it, but in this moment his condition perfectly corresponded with the script"s plot.
"After ten whips, get away from my room. You aren"t allowed to leave for a month!"
"Chen Er was humiliating me. He said that I was a good-for-nothing, he said that I was a pillow with an embroidered case {note1}!"
{note1: idiom 绣花枕头, outwardly attractive but a worthless person}
"What, could it be that you aren"t a good-for-nothing, you aren"t worthless?"
"You…!"
"When are you going to lead Chu family"s army on battle, when are you going to be our Chu family"s real man!"
Those words were like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly hitting on Chu Chen"s stomach. In the director"s team and screenwriter eyes, they only saw the slightly bent waist of the youngster suddenly straightening up. He turned his body, and step by step, he consciously walked away. His steps were slow and a little unsteady, but he tenaciously refused to look back.
The holographic image of Chu Song behind his back tightly closed his eyes and clear tears fell down.
Right here the old butler should have begged: "Eldest master, you didn"t have to", as a result Chu Song gazed at Chu Chen"s back, "I"m eighteen years older than him. I watched him grow up, I will have to be ahead of him by a step sooner or later. When I die… what should he do?"
The lightning of the stage was extremely average, not taking notice of any shadow. But Director w.a.n.g held his brows together, looking towards the upright back of the youngster with a meaningful/profound gaze. Lastly he kept silent.
Why when this youngster has just started he slightly bent his body over? Because he was being whipped by someone!
Why in the end did he erect his back? Because he was obstinate, because he was stubborn and he didn"t wish for his brother to notice that he was in a difficult situation. He believed that he has never been wrong!
Compared to this youngster"s acting, the previous auditionees were practically like Dong Shi imitating Xi Shi"s frown {note2}.
{note2: idiom 东施效颦, mimicking while making a fool of oneself}
When the genuine Chu Chen emerged, those inferior plays paled in comparison. They were incapable of pa.s.sing off as a rich kid, the though heart of Chu family"s young ruffian, and also the future ruthless general of the nation!
…
The afternoon sunshine was hotter than in the morning. Zhou Hehui has been waiting outside for about more than one hour. Finally Chu Yan came out from the corridor. He examined the youngster from head to toe and then his line of vision stopped on the youngster"s calm and steady expression.
Zhou Hehui knitted his eyebrows and questioned: "You weren"t scolded?"
Chu Yan looked at him surprised: "Zhou ge, it turned out that you weren"t that confident in me?"
Zhou Hehui brought Chu Yan towards the park ground, while saying: "Since you weren"t scolded, then this role is yours"
Zhou Hehui"s tone was undoubtedly firm, not a little bit of hesitation, as if he was stating a fact.
Heard what he said, Chu Yan didn"t bat an eyelid and smiled. Although he took off the uniform of that second Chu, but he didn"t remove the make-up. Therefore, his already extremely exquisite facial features, outlined by the visagiste"s skillful hands, were right now even more solid. Under the setting sun it was dazzling.
"Zhou ge, you should know Li Zhetian, right?"
Chu Yan"s question made Zhou Hehui pause. He was slightly dumbfounded: "Li Zhetian, I know him, what"s up with him?"
The youngster sorrowfully shook his head. He sighed and continued: "Truly a pity. Zhou ge, I met him in the audition. I"m afraid that your expectation was for nothing. Half of 《b.l.o.o.d.y Battle》 funds were invested by the Li family, presumably the role of the second male lead will drop on Li Zhetian"s head"
While complaining Chu Yan"s look was as if he was at loss. It seemed like it really was a pity, but there wasn"t even a little bit of regret in his eyes hanging down. On the contrary, he was holding back as if he was waiting for something.
After hesitating for a short while, Zhou Hehui didn"t disappoint Chu Yan and confirmed with a tone of certainty: "Rest a.s.sured. Even if your acting was worser than his, but as long as you aren"t bad, this role will be yours"
After getting in the car Zhou Hehui sent Chu Yan at home. Before leaving, he still told Chu Yan to not think too much. If the company wanted to boost, then he will definitely boost him and they wouldn"t care about a Li Zhetian.
Chu Yan was still convinced that Tiansheng wouldn"t put Li Zhetian in its eyes.
But he attentively watched at Zhou Hehui turning away. Chu Yan smiling lips suddenly disappeared. He controlled his eyes, quietly gazing at the floating car"s behind.
If Tiansheng wanted to fight the role over for Chu Yan with Li Zhetian…
This proved that in Tiansheng"s intention, his position definitely wasn"t low. Compared to offending Li Zhetian, at least boosting him was even more important.
Except that he narrowed his eyes and pondered for a short while. Chu Yan made a low laugh, temporarily tossing those ideas behind his back. After he returned home, what Zhou Hehui said was correct. In the evening of the same day, the 《b.l.o.o.d.y Battle》 production team sent him an invitation, indicating that they would sign a contract with Chu Yan within three days. He was going to play the second male lead Chu Chen in 《b.l.o.o.d.y Battle》 , after a week he will officially enter in the cast.
Everything advanced smoothly. After seven days Chu Yan, together with Zhou Hehui, arrived when the crew was already filming the 《b.l.o.o.d.y Battle》"s fourth day. When they stopped walking, at first glance they noticed the swaggering and arrogant Li Zhetian sitting in the middle of the crowd.
