TN: Thursday’s regular~
When Shen Qingshu saw Bai Xuege again, he felt that Bai Xuege’s eyes seemed to hold four points of pride, two points of teasing, two points of helplessness and two points of tolerance. He could draw a fan shaped statistical chart.
The problem is tolerance ? ? ?
What does he need to tolerate?
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Shen Qingshu was confused, “What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Xuege smiled and patted his chest, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything.”
Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?
“What do you want to say?”
“Still pretending?” Bai Xuege had no choice but to shed light, “I know, I understand everything.”
“You understand?” Shen Qingshu was shocked. “The problem is I don’t understand. What do you know?”
“Why do you want to shoot this movie?” Bai Xuege smiled, “Drunken?”
Shen Qingshu: ! ! ! !
Shen Qingshu pretended to be calm, “What do you mean? Why can’t I understand you?”
“Try again.” Bai Xuege said angrily, “It’s boring for you to pretend to be here with me. Do I not know who you are? What is our relationship?”
“I really don’t know what you mean?” Shen Qingshu denied it to the death.
As long as he refuses to admit it, he will not be “Drunken”.
Bai Xuege looked at his calm appearance and thought, this should not be the case. It was obvious, Han Cheng and Cheng Han, Qingshu and Su Qing, could it not be him?
“Aren’t you the original author of the novel” Ephemera”? In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword?”
“Of course not.” Shen Qingshu said, “Do you think I’m an author?”
“I think so. Otherwise, will the main character be called Su Qing? Could his cp be called Cheng Han? I couldn’t tell Shen Qingshu. You are quite romantic and secretly write a campus love story for you and Han Cheng. Do you want to make up for your missed student days?”
Shen Qingshu: ! ! ! F*ck! Why did you read that novel ! ! !
Didn’t I just send you “Ephemera”?
Why did you stray to that campus romance!
Where did you find that?!
Shen Qingshu is really shocked!
If he had known that Bai Xuege would read his campus romance and guessed that the author was him, he would never have shown him the original work!
No, he won’t let him join this movie at all!
“Doesn’t Su Qing have no CP?” Shen Qingshu said awkwardly, “He was alone in the novel I read. Where is this coming from?”
“Are you still pretending? Isn’t his CP Cheng Han in your campus romance? Isn’t “That Night” also about Su Qing and Cheng Han? But what is “That Night?”
Bai Xuege was curious, “Why do all the readers in your comment area howl about this being locked? What else do they say? This is the first life of Su Qing and Cheng Han. You wrote three lives and three stories for you and Han Cheng. Good guy, you really love him!”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu feels that he is going to cry!
Why do you know this ? ? ? ! ! !
Why do you know so much ! ! !
Can’t you read the original novel honestly?!
I regret it!

He kept his awkward and polite smile, “This author even wrote a campus romance? I didn’t know. What’s that? You should be preparing, you have an audition later, and you need to perform well.”
After that, Shen Qingshu turned around and prepared to leave.
Bai Xuege grabbed him, “So you became a producer to put your novel on the big screen?”
“I said that it’s not me. I’m so busy, okay? I don’t have time to write novels!”
Bai Xuege squinted at him, “You don’t admit it?”
“It’s not me.” Shen Qingshu denied to the death, “You should trust your old buddy, not suspect him. You are letting down our sincere friendship! Understand?”
“Oh?”
Bai Xuege looked at him and said, “You should know that as long as I want, I can find out the real information of the author immediately. It should be easy to get into your small broken website, right?”
Shen Qingshu: ! ! !
What do you mean by that?
Are you going to look for hackers?
Just for an online author, is it worth it?!
You are a beast!
Bai Xuege smiled, “Should I still trust you, my old buddy?”
Shen Qingshu: …… Ying!
Bai Xuege patted him on the shoulder, “Alas, why do you need to deny it? I said everything, I understand, I really understand!”
Shen Qingshu: You don’t understand! You really don’t understand! What do you understand?! You don’t understand the shame of writing car literature!
“Not to mention, your writing is pretty good. I stayed up all night to read your campus romance the other day. Wow, such beautiful crazy love! It’s so sweet! I want to fall in love!” Bai Xuege praised.
“No, you don’t want to!” Shen Qingshu quickly held him down.
“Why don’t I want to? I’m an adult now and I can fall in love. So please show me “That Night”. They say this is the first edition of you and Han Cheng. What kind of car do you drive, Lamborghini or Ferrari? Is it you or Han Cheng driving?”
Bai Xuege’s eyes suddenly lit up, “I got my driver’s licence a while ago, and I just bought several cars. Next time, I’ll be your prototype.”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu covered his face in shame:… It’s not what you think. You’re still too pure, didi!
“Next time, assign me a role too, you can write about us driving. With me as the driver, we drive every car! Wherever we like, we go on the highway every day!”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu’s other hand joined to cover his face. I can’t think much about that!
Bai Xuege looked at him and said, “What’s wrong with you? Are you so red? Are you shy?”
So shameful!
“Let’s skip this topic, okay?” Shen Qingshu put his hands down and looked at him, “Let’s talk about your audition, shall we?”
“Why?” Bai Xuege wondered, “Can’t I have a role in your novel?”
“Yes, you can.”
“So you admit that you wrote it?”
If I don’t admit it, you will hire hackers to infiltrate our website. Do you want to see the author’s contract with Han Cheng’s ID ? !
Even if you wanted to, he won’t recognize it!
Shen Qingshu nodded with tears, “Promise not to tell anyone.”
“Don’t worry, what is our relationship?.” Bai Xuege patted his chest, looking like a good brother. “Then you go back and send “That Night” to me. They said you locked it. Why? Isn’t that the first time you and Han Cheng got together? Why lock it?”
How can I tell you it’s because there are too many cars, all kinds of cars, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Buick, Porsche and Bentley. It’s too shameful so I locked them early on, otherwise I would be a sinner now!
“I didn’t write it well. The first book was poorly written.”
“That’s no problem. Let me have a look. I’m quite interested.”
“No need, no need, wait for the next time I write you into the novel, you can take a look then.”
Bai Xuege felt a little regretful,, “Alas, you are too much, how could you not tell me you were a writer!”
“Part time.”
Fortunately, I didn’t say it, otherwise I would have died earlier!
“You’ve reached the point where your novel is being adapted into a movie, and it’s still just part-time? You can be a screenwriter in the future. It’s so cool that you can act out your own novel.”
This was Shen Qingshu’s plan, mainly because he has been choosing his scripts for a long time, and will inevitably encounter many unsatisfactory parts. So if he is a screenwriter, he can write what he is interested in and act in what he is interested in and no longer be passive. however this will have to wait until after the movie is released to see the response.
“Let’s wait and see.”
“If you become a famous screenwriter in the future, don’t forget to write a good script for me.”
“No problem.” Shen Qingshu promised him.
Bai Xuege finished stripping his vest, and told Shen Qingshu about his audition.
The scene he is auditioning with today is Chen Ai’s monologue, which needs him to show Chen Ai’s gloom and the burden from his upbringing.
Shen Qingshu was worried, “Can you perform it well?”
“I have to try. Even if I don’t succeed, I will have died for a good cause.”
“Good luck!”
Shen Qingshu also wants to see other actors audition, so after talking with him, he left first and went to the audition place.
Mei Ruo is looking at the information about the people auditioning today. Shen Qingshu sat down beside her and asked the assistant to give him a copy of the information.
This is the first day of the audition. There are a lot of people coming. After Mei Ruo roughly flipped through, she asked the assistant to bring them in.
The actors who came in were surprised to see Shen Qingshu.
They also saw the news on the Internet, but they didn’t believe it. They all came for Mei Ruo. Only when they incidentally met Shen Qingshu at the audition place did they know that the proposed invitation was true. Shen Qingshu is really lucky.
However, looking at Shen Qingshu’s posture, they knew that he had some weight today. So they immediately smiled and greeted him and Mei Ruo.
Mei Ruo asked them a few questions briefly and told them to start when they’re ready to.
Shen Qingshu observed them carefully before giving them a score.
He watched several auditions before it was finally Bai Xuege’s turn.
He was so eye-catching when he came in, that the assistant’s eyes lit up. Shen Qingshu silently gave him a thumbs up, Bai Xuege smiled at him, and then said hello to Mei Ruo.
Mei Ruo asked him a few questions in accordance with procedure and asked him to perform.
Bai Xuege obviously spent a lot of time preparing for the audition. He was dressed in black this time, his hair was slightly too long, but he didn’t cut it. The bangs slightly brushed against his upper eyelids, and when he lowered his head, they fell on long eyelashes, covering the emotions in his eyes. They looked foggy, as if people couldn’t see into the other person’s heart.
His performance is very stable, and his acting skill is not amazing, but he has a better foundation. Leaning back in the chair, he looked lonely and depressed when devoid of expression.
Shen Qingshu looks at it, and suddenly comes up with a sentence: when people are young, they admire their parents; when they understand the relationship between men and women, they admire their parents less. 1
If Chen Ai is played by him, he will definitely attract fans when the film is released.
After all, Chen Ai is a combination of victim and perpetrator. He has his own tragedy, so he is pitiful, crazy, smart and conceited.
Now, adding a good skin bag. Then he will become a strong and miserable beauty. Basically fulfilling every condition. This kind of character is the easiest to attract fans.
But in this way, Bai Xuege will also benefit from helping himself, not just blindly doing him a favour.
Shen Qingshu secretly gave him the highest score, and then watched him leave.
Bai Xuege has left, but the audition is still going on. Shen Qingshu sent a WeChat message to tell him not to wait for him and go back first, they will have dinner together another day.
Bai Xuege replied to this with an OK expression without asking more.
At the end of the day’s audition, Shen Qingshu invited Mei Ruo and Qin Mo to have dinner, and they talked about today’s candidates.
“I don’t think there was an actress suitable for JiaJia.” Qin Mo said, “I want to continue the audition for her role.”
“I think Zhao Xin’s image is very good, but his acting skills are not enough. I don’t have much of an impression of others.” Shen Qingshu looked through his notes.
“Try again.” Mei Ruo said, “I don’t particularly like any of them.”
“What about Chen Ai?” Shen Qingshu asked her.
Mei Ruo looked at him, “What do you think?”
“I think Xiao Bai is very good.” Shen Qing said sparsely, “He has a good image, and his acting skills are quite stable. At least for the moment his skills are beyond all others.”
“I also think it’s OK.” Qin Mo said, “If that’s the case, will the main actors of our show group be too young, and will the audience not be immersed?”
“But this novel originally has three main characters, all of whom are young.” Shen Qingshu replied.
“That’s what I’ve been worried about.” Qin Mo shared his concerns. “Most films in this genre are old drama department with experienced acting skills, and the leading actors will not be around 20 years old. But you and Bai Xuege look very young, as well as being handsome, you are still traffic stars. I am really worried that casting the killer Chen Ai like this will make many audiences think that we are making a traffic film with poor acting skills.”
He said awkwardly, “Actually, I would prefer to choose an ordinary looking, low profile acting department, so that the audience will feel that the quality of the film is higher. What do you think of Director Mei?” 2
Mei Ruo thought for a moment and smiled slowly. “I disagree.”
She said, “Human beings are all pursuing beauty in essence, but many times, people think that good looks mean no acting skills. Some people are like this, but this is also a prejudice. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately avoid suitable actors for this prejudice.”
“But you have given me inspiration. I rarely see films with young main characters in domestic crime themes. As you said, most of them are actors who seem to have more experience. So it is simply better to make a crime film with a high appearance index. At that time, we may become a dark horse and attract more young people.”
Shen Qingshu also became interested after hearing her say this, “Can we?”
“Of course, you and Bai Xuege are both very good, so we just need to find another beautiful flower to finish off.”
Shen Qingshu can’t help getting excited. Qin Mo is also excited. “It’s really unique, but I’m afraid the audience won’t buy it.”
“So it depends on you.” Mei Ruo turned to her and said, “This is the time to test your script. If our script is good enough and the actors perform well, the audience may think it is a high quality work.”
“Well, I will try my best.” Qin Mo laughed, “I will put utmost effort into the script.”
Shen Qingshu quickly raised his hand, “I will help you, Sister Qin.”
“Good.” Qin Mo smiled.
“Then I wish us all success.” Mei Ruo raised her cup.
Shen Qingshu and Qin Mo touched cups with her and looked at each other with a smile.
After dinner, Han Cheng still came to pick Shen Qingshu up.
Shen Qingshu got in the car and called Bai Xuege, telling him the good news, “You’ve passed!”
Bai Xuege was relieved in an instant, fortunately he was not humiliated.
The burden in his heart was gone, and his tone of voice rose again.
“I knew it, I am so handsome and good at acting. How could I fail?”

“Yes, yes, you are amazing, ok?” Shen Qingshu said with a laugh.
“Then you should send me “That Night”. I have time tonight so I can read a bedtime story before going to bed.”
Shen Qingshu:… Why do you still care about this!
“I’ve locked everything and I haven’t sorted out the documents. Forget it.”
“Then I’ll search the Internet?”
“No!!” Shen Qingshu quickly stopped him and said, “That’s to comply with reading the stolen articles. It’s contemptible to read the stolen articles. We must refuse to read the stolen articles!”
Bai Xuege: …
“Then what should I do?”
“Don’t read. It’s really bad with exceptionally ugly writing. You should leave some face for your dear good friend.”
Bai Xuege: …
“OK, then I’ll read your campus romance again.”
Shen Qingshu: …
Why are you doing this to me? !
You are not my book fan. What are you reading!
Do you love Han Cheng’s and my CP so much?!
Shen Qingshu hung up the phone in depression, helpless.
“What’s the matter?” Han Cheng asked him.
“Xiao Bai knows my vest.”
“What vest?”
“What other vest is there? That I’m the author of the novel.” Shen Qingshu sighed.
After he finished, he suddenly thought of something and said to Han Cheng, “help me take down the pirated versions quickly. Xiao Bai can’t find it. Hurry! Now! quickly! Immediately!”
Han Cheng: ? ? ? ?
“How can this be possible?”
“Aren’t you a rich tyrant? I think other such tyrants in novels can do it, but you can’t do it?”
Han Cheng: …
“When you say that, I don’t like it.”
“Then you should quickly make “That Night” disappear! Disappear! Otherwise, if xiao Bai sees it, how can I live?”
Shen Qingshu feels ashamed when he thinks of the fan-like gaze directed at him today. Well, next time they meet, his gaze will be much deeper!
Ah ah ah ah ah!
Shen Qingshu covered his face, “Please contact your assistant, or next time he asks me, I’ll say you wrote it!”
TN: Our little chuuni BX is still too young and innocent!
1 知慕少艾 =Beautiful emotions of youth.
When people are young, they admire their parents. When they grow up, they understand the relationship between men and women, and they long for other young and beautiful people. When they have wives and children, they are absorbed with their wives and children. When they become officials, they please the monarch, but they cannot get them. The emperor’s favour makes his heart restless; only the most filial people admire their parents all their lives.
2 So in the Chinese entertainment industry actors/actresses tend to be sorted into 2 categories. Those that rely on their appearance and make more idol type movies/drama’s, who rely on their fans are called traffic stars. And those that rely on their acting skills, make high quality works and win awards are called acting school/department, they tend to but not always have a more ordinary appearance and can play a wider range of characters. This will probably be helpful for reading other entertainment CN lol.
Previous Chapter < Project Page > Next Chapter
I bet SQS will write a bl novel where BX is a mc and his stepbrother is the ml. Happy childhood, separation, misunderstandings, many twists and turns and a HE in the end 🤣🤣
And I’m sure, that BX’s stepbro will happily pay the money to see that on a big screen (hahahaha 😂🤣😂🤣)
BX doesn’t know what awaits him 😆😆
