IPPWR Chapter 41 Director (12) Sea king wants to attack me part 1

Three days later, the new film audition.

Secretary Jiang lived up to his double salary and bonus. In just three days, he found all the actors who Yuan Buwei wanted, including Xie Ze, the most important male lead.

At the end of his performance, Xie Ze stood in the centre of the audition venue waiting for the final judgement, feeling uneasy.

Since the public opinion storm three years ago, he has been blocked by several large companies and has been completely silent. In recent years, he has not received any good roles.

When Secretary Jiang found him, he was preparing to try his luck in a low-cost online drama. He could hardly believe that he would be selected by director Yan, who was at the height of his power. At that moment, he thought he was probably fooled again.

For example, the day before being informed that he had won the role, it would be robbed. Or take advantage of him. If he wanted to be part of this film, he must agree to all kinds of excessive conditions… This is not unprecedented. Who made him so brash before and offended so many people, but he still had a handsome face?

Nevertheless, perhaps he was not willing to make trouble, or perhaps he believed in director Yan himself, he still came with faint expectations.

“En, you’re the male lead.”

Hearing this sentence from Yuan Buwei, Xie Ze was still stunned and couldn’t react for a while. He couldn’t help but look up stupidly and wonder if he was dreaming.

He opened his mouth and raised his hand to himself: “… Me? I passed?”

“Otherwise?” Yuan Buwei looked at him, his eyes showing a deep suspicion.

… It was unknown whether he was doubting his vision in selecting people or the fool in front of him.

“It’s really me!”

Xie Ze didn’t care at all about the coldness and dislike in his tone. His eyes lit up amazingly. He forced himself to restrain his excitement and bowed seriously.

“Thank you, director Yan. I’ll do it well! I’ll live up to director Yan’s expectations!”

Yuan Buwei waved his hand: “Okay, you can sit aside first. The audition is not over yet.”

“Yes, director Yan.” Xie Ze responded with extraordinary seriousness. Following Yuan Buwei’s instructions, he walked to the empty seat next to him and sat down with his hands and feet stiff, not looking sideways once.

When other people’s attention was focused on the next actor for the audition, he could not help but grin at the corner of his mouth and looked over from time to time.

At this time, Yuan Buwei’s entire person was shining in his eyes, like he was added with special effects and a layer of filter.

Even if his expression is cold, his eyes are impatient, and when he is critical, said a few words that almost made the auditioning actress cry. In Xie Ze’s eyes, all these are the unique style of a famous director!

Yuan Buwei talked a lot and became thirsty.

A glass of boiled water, still warm, was immediately handed over by someone nearby: “director Yan, drink some water.”

Yuan Buwei turned his head subconsciously.

Face this pair of eyes filled with extraordinary admiration in front of him, at lot more sincere than secretary Jiang’s “double salary buff”, he was silent for a moment and reached for this cup of warm boiled water.

Xie Ze couldn’t help smiling more brightly.

Secretary Jiang, who pushed the door into the room, saw this scene and was shocked: “! ! !”

He glanced warily at Xie Ze, who smiled like a fool,  pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and came to their side and sat down. He whispered: “President Yan, a young lady outside, was stopped by a security guard. She claimed to have come for an audition, but there was no invitation.”

After a pause, secretary Jiang added: “it’s Wen Jiaojiao, Miss Wen said you knew her.”

Originally, secretary Jiang closely followed the audition process. Just now, he heard the sudden noise outside, and went out to have a look. He told everything he had seen.

“Wen Jiaojiao?” Yian Buwei was surprised.

If secretary Jiang hadn’t mentioned it, he would forget the heroine of the plot. She was sent to the detention centre for a tour. How dare she come here for an audition? How come the heroine doesn’t seem very smart?

Secretary Jiang glanced at the slightly surprised expression on his face. Just as he was going to suggest turning it down for him, he heard the president of his own company respond: “let her in.”

Secretary Jiang looked at him at once and recalled the brain tonic he had thought up before. He was surprised and anticipated eating melons.

Wen Jiaojiao is also very excited.

She came with confidence because she knew this former senior very well.

In the past, when the other party was filming “Deep Palace” at Star entertainment, she often used various excuses to visit the set. She mentioned the events of her high school days, so as to narrow the distance between them. Yan Xun did not seem to resent her, and his attitude was very gentle – of course, this was what Wen Jiaojiao thought. Knowing that she is a popular star of star entertainment, and that star entertainment is the largest investor of the crew, shouldn’t he be polite?

Even though he sent Zhou Yao to the bureau not long ago, Wen Jiaojiao thought that Zhou Yao had provoked the other party and deserved a lesson. On the contrary, she was innocent and involved. Now her popularity has reached the bottom. With Yan Xun’s character of distinguishing right from wrong, she should be compensated.

Sure enough, the security guards soon let her in.

This time, the script was not completely made up. The main character of the plot has a prototype — that is a person he once met when he travelled around the world. A man who was born humble and died glorious.

Since he is interested in this new identity of director, Yuan Buwi did not plan to continue along the original route. The reason why this new script was conceived was also because system 999 gave an unintentional reminder.

The three realms of Luofu,¹ the heaven, the earth, and the human world, have all been seen by Yuan Buwei, and he thought they were all uninteresting. But if they were written and interpreted from a different perspective, it might be very interesting.

In the last world, he was idle with nothing to do, so he arranged “The King’s Biography” for himself. He would also mingle with the crowd, condemning the tyrant with others while drinking tea and nibbling melon seeds.

In this script, besides the most important male protagonist, there are also several important male and female supporting roles. After half a day’s audition, Yuan Buwei didn’t decide on the spot. Now everyone was sitting on one side and hadn’t left yet.

In the curious eyes of the actors, Wen Jiaojiao, dressed in a black skirt, walked in.

Her make-up today is completely different from that of the past. From the previous cool and indifferent temperament, she is now sexy and gorgeous. Just looking at this look, everyone can almost guess that her goal should be the second female lead “spirit Master” role.

On the side, the actress who just got the role turned black as she stared at her.

It has to be said that Wen Jiaojiao’s acting skills are indeed very good. She hasn’t even used the lines in the script, she just walked in from the outside, and her eyes swept around all the people. The temperament and charm displayed by her match the “Spirit master” in the script.

¹羅浮 = Luófú = the definition is Louvre and the author had it written as [羅浮] which i totally don’t get as I always see this with other words to mean something. So I have no idea, just going to leave that there…
