Chapter 7: What Role Are You Playing?
“Ji Xu just returned to China. What kind of development are you looking for?” After everyone asked Meng Yi, they asked Ji Xu.
Ji Xu smiled slightly and said calmly, “I studied music abroad, so I want to develop in music more.”
“Do you have any plans to release a song recently?” Su Ming continued to ask.
“No, I’m still looking for songs. I want my first song to be liked by everyone, so I haven’t decided which song to record yet.”
“But I heard that you’re going to star in Director Wang’s movie. Won’t that delay your song release?” Jiang Shiran guided the topic.
Ji Xu came this time to promote his participation in Wang Hao’s movie and gain popularity.
Ji Xu glanced at Jiang Yu and Meng Yi imperceptibly and said a little embarrassedly, “I originally wanted to let everyone know me with a song when I came back this time. But the entertainment reporters in our country are too good. They made a big fuss about me and Han Cheng.
I don’t have any works now, but my popularity is a bit high because of this incident, and I always feel uneasy.
But I don’t want to rush to release a few songs that I’m not satisfied with, so when Han Cheng asked me to participate in Director Wang’s movie, I was really surprised and delighted.
I thought about it for a long time and still felt that this opportunity was rare. Everyone wants to participate in Director Wang’s movie. Although I’m only playing a small role, it’s a role that many people want.
Anyway, I don’t have any satisfactory songs right now, so I might as well try to see if I have any talent for acting.”
Ji Xu’s usually indifferent expression gained a hint of shyness when Han Cheng was mentioned, adding a touch of color to this pure white man, making him so beautiful that one couldn’t look away.
“Brother Ji, are you really together with President Han?” Yang Bai asked Ji Xu, his face full of gossip.
As a singer-songwriter, Yang Bai loves all kinds of gossip, seeking creative inspiration from these outrageous stories.
These past few days, Yang Bai has been watching the gossip between Ji Xu and Han Cheng like a soap opera.
Listening to Ji Xu’s words just now, it seemed that he didn’t want to avoid Han Cheng at all, and even showed off that Han Cheng had secured him a role in Director Wang’s film. Yang Bai finally couldn’t help but want to know what would happen next.
“He’s very good to me, but I’m a little hesitant. I want to rely on my own strength to reach a status that matches his, and I don’t want to rely on him to pile me up with resources.
I won’t hide it from you all. This role in Director Wang’s film was forced on me by him. When I was abroad, I studied acting for a while, but not for very long.
If I don’t act well this time, I won’t act again in the future, and I’ll focus on my music.
I don’t want to rely on Han Cheng to take the opportunities of those who can act. As for this time, I want to be willful.” Ji Xu said it openly, making it hard to criticize him.
“So, you’re not together yet? Has President Han confessed to you? Did you disagree, or have you two not clarified your relationship yet?
President Han has many rumored boyfriends and girlfriends. Do you know his history of affairs? Do you know if there’s anyone else by his side now? Would you mind these people? Can you guarantee that you can capture Han Cheng’s heart?”
Yang Bai is not from Han’s Entertainment, so he doesn’t have as many scruples about Han Cheng. The questions he asked were more and more tricky, comparable to entertainment reporters. The questions made the smile on Ji Xu’s face freeze for a moment.
Ji Xu was silent. He never expected Yang Bai to ask so unscrupulously.
How could he not know about Han Cheng’s affairs? He investigated everything about Han Cheng before he returned to China.
He even had two of Han Cheng’s little lovers sitting in front of him, and one who had been with Han Cheng for six years.
Originally, he just wanted to show off Han Cheng’s kindness to him in front of these two little lovers, but he didn’t expect to get himself into trouble. Ji Xu glared at Yang Bai angrily, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
“Okay, Yang Bai, are you an entertainment reporter? Why are you so gossipy?” The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Su Ming immediately spoke up to break the awkwardness.
However, this question was a controversial topic. If it were broadcast, it would definitely attract a wave of attention. Su Ming didn’t stop Yang Bai immediately because he also wanted to create some topics.
But whether it can be broadcast depends on Han Cheng’s opinion.
It’s a pity that Ji Xu looks scholarly, but his brain is not very bright. A few questions made him silent. If he can’t handle the questions, why show off in the first place?
Su Ming glanced at Jiang Yu. The reason why this person can follow Han Cheng, this playboy, for so long is probably because he is low-key.
Su Ming didn’t believe that Ji Xu didn’t know Jiang Yu’s identity. When Ji Xu was showing off just now, his eyes would occasionally fall on Jiang Yu.
Since Ji Xu knows Jiang Yu, but he doesn’t learn Jiang Yu’s low-key behavior, but instead shows off in a high-profile manner, these two are simply two extremes.
Han Cheng spent so much money to put his new love, old love, and Meng Yi, a former little lover, together. He doesn’t know what this master wants to do.
“I’m just curious about the love between two men. Hehe, I seem to like men too, so I want to learn from Ji Xu.”
Yang Bai is also a shrewd person. He immediately stopped asking and enthusiastically sat next to Ji Xu. He told a small lie, trying to get closer. He didn’t believe he couldn’t find out the inside story between Ji Xu and Han Cheng.
Ji Xu already felt disgusted with Yang Bai, but under the camera, the two men who both liked men seemed to have found a common topic and were chatting happily.
The three guests had already asked two, and Su Ming looked at Jiang Yu, wanting to ask Jiang Yu a question.
Before he could speak, Meng Yi suddenly opened his mouth and asked Ji Xu, “Brother Xu also starred in Director Wang’s film? Which role are you playing? I didn’t know. I also got a role in Director Wang’s film. We’ll be filming in the same crew in the future.”
Everyone’s attention was attracted to Meng Yi. Su Ming asked in surprise, “You’re also filming Director Wang’s film?”
He didn’t know this news in advance. He is a host and doesn’t pay attention to the film industry. Moreover, Wang Hao’s film’s confidentiality work is done very well. Ji Xu’s agent took the initiative to say that Ji Xu was going to star in it. He came to participate in “Leisure Life” this time to promote the news and gain popularity for himself.
Two of the three guests in this episode are actually going to participate in Wang Hao’s film. This topic can also be a hot search.
No, all three of them were stuffed in by Han Cheng. Could it be that Jiang Yu is also going to film Wang Hao’s film?
Su Ming suddenly looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu was lying on a large pink pig doll, watching the show with great interest. Feeling Su Ming’s gaze, Jiang Yu looked over.
Su Ming smiled gently at Jiang Yu, retracted his smile, and didn’t ask, just sighing in his heart that this Jiang Yu is really low-key.
Jiang Yu’s carefully drawn thin eyebrows raised slightly. Why did this senior smile at him for no reason? The smile was a bit creepy.
“You’re also filming Director Wang’s film?” Ji Xu was surprised by Meng Yi’s words. Wang Hao’s film’s confidentiality work was done very well, and even he didn’t know the specific selection of people.
“Which role are you playing?” Ji Xu knew that Meng Yi had a past with Han Cheng, and he was very concerned about Meng Yi’s role.
He is only playing the male second’s little assistant, a very small role. As long as Meng Yi’s role is not bigger than his, then he wins this round.
“I’m playing the male second.” Meng Yi broke Ji Xu’s hope with one sentence.
“I can’t say too much about the specifics, it has to be kept secret. Who is Brother Xu playing?” Meng Yi said his role confidently and proudly. He already knew who the male and female leads were. No matter what Ji Xu plays, his role is definitely not bigger than his.
He just can’t stand Ji Xu’s smug face. He just wants to slap his showing off face.
Why could this music student get a role so easily, while he had to suffer so much to get the supporting male role?
A supporting male role, huh? He would rather happily play a small assistant than pay the price to play the supporting male role.
“You’re playing the supporting male role!” Ji Xu exclaimed in shock, losing his composure. He’s playing the supporting male’s assistant, and Meng Yi is playing the supporting male? This is like shitting on his head.
“Yeah, why are you so surprised, Brother Xu?” Meng Yi looked at the flustered Ji Xu in confusion, pretending to be innocent, but laughing in his heart.
Asked by Meng Yi, Ji Xu suddenly realized that he had lost his composure.
He hurriedly restrained his angry emotions, forced a smile, and said, “I heard that many people want to play the supporting male role, and the competition is even fiercer than for the male and female leads. I didn’t expect it to fall on you in the end. You’re really amazing to have stood out from so many people.”
“I didn’t expect Director Wang to let me play either. I will cherish this opportunity. This is the first time for both of us to act in a movie. Let’s work hard together when we get to the set.
Brother Xu, you haven’t said what role you’re playing yet?” Meng Yi smiled innocently, releasing his goodwill towards Ji Xu, and naively asked what role Ji Xu was going to play.
Ji Xu was furious for a moment, but only for a moment. Ji Xu seemed to have figured it out, and soon smiled, a bright and upright smile, and said, “What a coincidence, I’m playing the supporting male’s assistant. All my scenes are with you.
It’s my first time filming in China, and I don’t know anything. When I get to the crew, you, my senior, will have to take care of me.”
Although he was unwilling, everyone would know what he played after the movie was released, so there was no use in hiding it now. It was better to admit it generously and earn a reputation for being generous.
“You’re my little assistant? That’s really a coincidence.” Having achieved his goal, Meng Yi sat down next to Ji Xu in surprise. The two smiled and were very enthusiastic, without a hint of tension.
Jiang Yu leaned on the pink pig, his fingers stuck in the two pig nostrils, restlessly picking it’s nose.
Looking at Meng Yi, Ji Xu, and Yang Bai sitting together and chatting enthusiastically, Jiang Yu’s hands were itchy, and he really wanted to applaud their acting skills.
It was just a pity for the pink pig’s nostrils, which had to endure the pain of Jiang Yu suppressing his applause.
Su Ming glanced at the three of them, waited for a while, and felt that these three should have calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief and could finally ask Jiang Yu questions according to the script.
Facing Su Ming’s gaze, Jiang Yu instantly became alert and felt uncomfortable all over.
He had no confidence in his acting skills, and only hoped that Su Ming could let him, a third-tier nobody, off the hook and not ask any difficult questions.
