Chapter 64: My Husband is More Handsome than You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Song Wei returned to the hotel, she discovered that the stylist Little Guo had brought a lot of strange items such as brown sugar, menstrual painkillers, and so on. Little Guo explained honestly, “Uncle Dong asked me to bring them. He said that Director Jiang always felt that you didn’t care too much about your body, so he asked me to take good care of your diet and daily lifestyle for the next few days.”
“…I don’t actually get much menstrual pain from my period.”
“But you still have to make up for it. Uncle Dong said that he is waiting to carry little Director Jiang after you nourish your health back into shape.”
“…tell him not to worry. I really don’t plan on giving birth.”
Song Wei threw herself onto the bed. This sudden concern made her feel a little overwhelmed and uncomfortable.
She was used to acting tough, and her body seemed to listen to her very well, too. She rarely got sick, and her period hardly hurt either.
She didn’t cause any trouble and was especially good at taking on hards.h.i.+ps, so in the end, the people around her practically ignored her feelings.
She had once felt the feeling of being cared for from Yan Zhixing. However, later on, she finally understood that Yan Zhixing’s kindness to her was all an act, so none of his concern had ever been true to his heart.
He always said the most beautiful and moving words, but he did the most indifferent things.
As for Jiang Mingxu, it seemed like the opposite.
He had a bad temper, tended to speak more forcefully than not, and wasn’t gentle or romantic at all.
However, he seemed to be doing everything that needed to be done.
Song Wei’s heart softened a little.
To end this matter as soon as possible, Song Wei had been racking her brains for a solution.
She investigated this drama, ‘The Sun and Moon of the Tang Palace’, that Liu s.h.i.+ying was currently filming. She had watched this drama before, but because the male lead was a popular celebrity with good looks but no acting skills, the drama did not become popular in the end.
Song Wei flipped through the list of staff members and acting cast for this show and looked at them one by one, looking for a breakthrough.
She finally found an impressionable name—Jin Wenxi.
In this drama, Jin Wenxi acted as the guard beside the male lead. He was a nameless male character, so no one remembered him.
However, three years later, he partic.i.p.ated in a variety show and became famous overnight. From then on, he was labeled as an experienced actor in a youth’s body.
What was important was that he had an easygoing personality and was still very humble even after becoming popular.
Compared to Liu s.h.i.+ying—that explosive powder keg, Jin Wenxi was much easier to get close to.
Song Wei ran through the rumors related to the production team in her mind and tried her best to recall the gossip related to the main cast of this drama. Then, she formulated a plan in her heart.
The next day, she obtained Jin Wenxi’s contact details from Yan Sini and added him on WeChat.
When she was writing the verification information, she directly wrote ‘Your sugar daddy’1.
As expected, this username was too eye-catching. Jin Wenxi quickly accepted her request on his side and sent a question mark.
Song Wei went straight to the point: “Do you want to be the male lead?”
Jin Wenxi: “Are you a swindler?”
Song Wei: “…”
Song Wei: “I have a way to make you the male lead, and it’s happening today.”
Jin Wenxi: “Even fraud rings don’t dare to make up stories like this.”
Song Wei: “You’ll know whether I’m making up a story or not during our meeting later.”
Jin Wenxi: “Wait, can I ask who you are?”
Song Wei: “Is there anything about you that is worth scamming?”
Jin Wenxi: “My good looks.”
Song Wei: “My husband is more handsome than you.”
Jin Wenxi: “…”
‘The Sun and Moon of the Tang Palace’ was a harem drama. The emperor was not important. What was important was the compet.i.tion among the concubines for beauty, so the male lead did not have many scenes.
As the male lead, popular celebrity Fu Qi’en didn’t mind at all because he was acting in four shows back to back and couldn’t film all of them in time.
He was even more outrageous today. He decided not to appear on set at all.
The a.s.sistant director reported to the director somewhat awkwardly, “Fu Qi’en called just now and said that he woke up late, so he hasn’t started on his hair and makeup. He told us to film the other actors’ scenes first today.”
“He still wants me to film someone else’s scenes instead?! It’s already been 10 days since the filming began. Has he even completed 10 scenes as the male lead? Tell him that if he doesn’t come, I’ll change the actor immediately!”
The director was furious. It seemed like he had indeed tolerated Fu Qi’en for too long. His gaze could kill people at this point.
“But we’ve already given Fu Qi’en his remuneration for this drama. The production cost of changing actors at this time is too high, and it’s also very difficult to find a suitable person.” The a.s.sistant director also looked troubled.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted, “How about an actor with zero remuneration, good acting skills, and is obedient? Will you guys consider him?”
It was Song Wei with Jin Wenxi who was already done with his image styling.
It would be a waste not to use such a fantastic stylist like Little Guo!
