Chapter 124. Stopped dreaming"Will you really act in «A born star»?"
White bear asked him when they were sitting on the aeroplane.
They have came back to China abruptly because the CEO has called them and they still had to go back to Korea for the shooting.
"Yes, I really want to do it."
Ren said as he thought of the screenplay.
Ying Yue has tried very hard to persuade Jiang Wan but she was not successful.
In the end, Ren have give her his number and a.s.sured her that he will meet her again after he completes his shooting.
He also have to convince Jiang Wan and maybe, Director Zhao and CEO Xu too, as he was sure that Jiang Wan would inform them about this matter.
"The CEO asked you to do a movie, right? What are you thinking about it?"
"I don"t know. I have gotten the screenplay of it, but I haven"t liked it much."
Ren has already gotten the screenplay in his tablet, he have also read it somewhat but he still hadn"t liked it.
"You are not thinking about rejecting it, right? It"s a direct request from CEO Xu, you can be in trouble if you rejected it."
"You mean, she will not favour me if I rejected the movie?"
"Yes, you can just accept it. It"s a big budget movie anyway, I heard about it online and many people are saying that it will be a hit."
White bear was not able to understand why Ren was rejecting the movie.
It was a huge project with millions of dollars invested in it.
Actors will usually do everything to act in a big budget blockbuster.
"You think, I will select a movie if I don"t like his story."
"Ah, you generally don"t select a project if you don"t like his story. I forgot you are now a big celebrity. In the past, we would try to s.n.a.t.c.h every project we can."
White bear said as he reminisced about the past.
They were still strugglers at that point. They worked together in a small company, living their days hoping to get just a small chance.
He don"t know when everything has changed, for him Ren was still the person he was a.s.signed to, a cheeky kid that he had to take care off.
"I don"t think I can be considered a big celebrity or not. I still just want to act in different movies and dramas, maybe even Hollywood."
"Hollywood! You are really dreaming big."
White bear said as he laughed.
"I stopped dreaming a while ago. I now wanted to make my reality a dream."
Ren said as he looked outside the plane"s transparent window.
The plane has finally taken off.

"Oh my goodness. Ms. Xiao Rin"s lips are amazing."
"They work with any color, right, chief?"
Chief Han nodded at the fussy makeup artist.
"They do."
"Yes, she looks better in whatever she uses."
Jiang Wan who was also there, nodded as he agreed with him.
He was here because he has a free schedule and he wanted to see if Xiao Rin was doing good or not.
"Really? Do they all suit me?"
Xiao Rin asked as her eyes turned towards Chief Han and Jiang Wan.
"Yeah. What wouldn"t suit you?"
A small brush with lipstick rubbed against her lips. Her lips, which had reddened after repeatedly putting on and erasing lipstick, were pushed by the brush.
She was looking like a Barbie doll with the makeup and her dress.
Several males present on the set were looking at her, completely forgetting that she was just a high school girl.
It seems like there hormones were acting up by seeing her.
"It looks like Xiao Rin has been doing good."
Jiang Wan said as he looked at Xiao Rin taking photos on the screen.
She looked to be completely accustomed to it.
"Yes, it"s already her third advertis.e.m.e.nt. People in the industry has been saying that she has the perfect face for most of the advertis.e.m.e.nts."
"She really has a near perfect face."
Jiang Wan said as he glanced at Xiao Rin"s glowing face.
"But I didn"t expect to see you here. I thought you were more busy."
Chief Han said with a laugh.
"Well, we are looking after the newbies these days and they are mostly obedient. Chu Min has been working diligently on his movie. So, I am quite free compared to before."
Jiang Wan said as he rubbed his messy beard.
"What about Ren? I heard he is in Korea these days."
Jiang Wan face became unpleasant when he heard that.
He hesitated a bit before speaking and Chief Han perceived that there was some problem.
"He isn"t making trouble, right?"
"Ah, you could say so. There"s a issue regarding him."
"He don"t look like the type to make troubles. What happened?"
"Well, it isn"t much but he has been h.e.l.l bent on choosing a project these days."
"He wants to choose a project. Is there any problem with it?"
Chief Han didn"t felt that there was something wrong with it.
"Yes, it"s a musical drama and he wants to work with a rookie director in it. You know, how much trouble a musical drama will take and I am not sure if the rookie director will able to lead through the project."
"Are you talking about Brother Ren"s next project?"
Jiang Wan and Chief Han don"t know when but before they could know, Xiao Rin was standing besides them.
They don"t know how much she has heard.
"No, we were just talking about a project he was interested in, I don"t know if it would be his next project or not."
Chief Han said as he looked at Xiao Rin.
"But what is the project about?"
Xiao Rin said as she glanced at Jiang Wan with a interested gaze.
"It"s a movie, a musical drama to be exact."
"A musical drama?"
Xiao Rin said as she tilted her head.
"Yes, but we will not be going with it. I had heard that the CEO has already talked with him about his next project."
"But Brother Ren liked the musical drama, right."
When Xiao Rin said that, Jiang Wan don"t know what to say but he still nodded his head.
"Yes, I don"t know why but he want to do this. Although the story is good, for a musical, the most important thing are its songs."
Jiang Wan said looking like he was tired of it but Xiao Rin"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning.
She looked at Jiang Wan as she said.
"Chief Jiang, can I request you something.…."
