Chapter 384: This Is Exactly the Feeling I Want (Fourth Update, Please Vote)
Zhou Bo jogged all the way to the Star Media interview hall.
At this moment, Director Wang's face was ashen.
The manager next to him started scolding Zhou Bo as soon as he saw him.
"Didn't I tell you? Hurry up, hurry up, are you deaf to my words? How dare you keep Director Wang waiting, apologize to Director Wang now."
Zhou Bo hurriedly rushed to Wang Ming like a grandson: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I left home early, but I met a terrible DiDi Brother who purposely took the long route, making me late."
Clearly, he left late himself, yet he blamed Ye Chen for it.
Director Wang coldly said, "Alright, let's start the audition, I'm very busy."
For this internet celebrity, Director Wang decided to pass the moment he saw him.
However, considering his good relationship with the manager, he gave Zhou Bo a chance.
Director Wang casually asked Zhou Bo to act out a scene from the script.
Although Zhou Bo performed freely in his livestreams, when it came to actual acting, it couldn't have been more fake or awkward.
Director Wang was completely shocked.
With this, you think you can act? Do you think the audience is full of idiots?
"Alright, that's enough." Zhou Bo was lost in his self-indulgence, and Director Wang finally couldn't bear it and stopped the performance.
"Director, I was just getting into the zone, I can do even better." Zhou Bo said narcissistically.
"Forget it, your level is too high, our small production can't accommodate a god like you." Director Wang mocked.
"It's okay, I don't mind being in a small production, I heard many Film Emperors became famous from ordinary films." Zhou Bo continued talking to himself.
Director Wang was speechless, can you not tell that I'm being sarcastic?
"Alright, I'll officially inform you that you didn't pass the audition." Director Wang was no longer polite and directly announced the decision.
On hearing this, Zhou Bo's face turned pale, and he grabbed Director Wang: "Director Wang, give me another chance, I've been working hard, always studying the Actor's Handbook."
Director Wang almost puked at Zhou Bo's pathetic sight.
This time, the male lead was a great hero, and the most important trait was masculinity.
How could someone like this possibly act?
"Alright, I said no means no, please leave."
The assistant director next to him was troubled: "Director Wang, you've auditioned dozens of actors for this role already, none fit your criteria?"
Director Wang sighed, "Yes, this lead is supposed to be a perfect man, but finding someone with that aura is too difficult."
"But our schedule is very tight." The assistant director said worriedly.
"Even if it's tight, my male lead must be to my liking."
At this moment, Zhou Bo seemed to hear a glimmer of hope and actually knelt in front of Director Wang in front of everyone.
"Director Wang, I've always wanted to be a star since I was young, please give me this chance, I won't disappoint you."
Just then, Ye Chen walked in, glanced around, and said, "Hey, Film Emperor, you're here."
Zhou Bo, kneeling on the ground and being called Film Emperor, was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Ye Chen, Zhou Bo was even more furious.
It must be because of being late that the director was displeased with me; it's all because of this person that I lost this opportunity.
Clearly, it was his own lack of looks and talent, yet Zhou Bo once again successfully made Ye Chen take the blame.
Zhou Bo angrily said: "It's all because of you, I haven't even calculated the score with you, and you came on your own?"
Ye Chen looked at Zhou Bo, kneeling on the ground, and said: "I came to return your phone, you rushed out of the car, and it got left behind."
Zhou Bo took back his phone and said: "Okay, just leave, this is Star Media, full of celebrities, don't dirty the place."
"Alright, you continue kneeling, I'm leaving now." Ye Chen turned to go.
But at this moment, Director Wang's eyes fell on Ye Chen.
This guy's so handsome, and this aura, full of righteousness and masculine energy, exactly the kind of male lead I've been dreaming of.
Director Wang was excited and called out to Ye Chen: "Hey, handsome, wait a minute."
Ye Chen stopped and looked at Director Wang: "Yes, can I help you?"
Director Wang grasped Ye Chen, looking him up and down.
"Too perfect, just the right choice, this aura is exactly what I'm looking for."
Ye Chen was a bit embarrassed: "Dude, I'm not interested in men."
The crowd giggled.
Director Wang laughed: "No, you've misunderstood, sir. My movie just happens to need a male lead, and your aura perfectly fits my standards, do you have any interest?"
Hearing Director Wang's words, everyone present was stunned.
Oh my god, Director Wang is offering an olive branch to a DiDi Brother, this guy's luck is unreal.
"But this DiDi Brother is really handsome."
"Yeah, way better than those fresh-faced actors."
"That internet celeb we just saw, can't compare at all."
Haha!
Hearing the gossip around him, Ye Chen almost spat out blood.
Ye Chen had acted in a few films before but now, when he goes out, he has to keep his Charm Value low; even a little higher and people would recognize him as a big star, which is too troublesome, so back then Ye Chen vowed never to act again.
Everyone thought Ye Chen would agree, but he said: "Sorry, I'm busy, I still need to drive for DiDi."
The crowd: "..."
What the hell, this is an opportunity to become a star, and you say you're busy driving for DiDi.
Does this guy have a screw loose?
Everyone at the same time felt like spitting blood.
For ordinary people, facing such an opportunity would make them ecstatic.
But Ye Chen said he needed to drive for DiDi.
How much can you earn from driving, a movie salary could pay for a lifetime of driving.
The crowd's world view shattered.
There actually exists someone who chooses driving over becoming a star in this world.
Just then, Han Qi walked in.
"Chairman Ye, I've been looking everywhere for you, what are you doing here?"
Ye Chen said: "Oh, I drove this gentleman here with DiDi, he was late and blamed me, and he left his phone in the car so I brought it up for him."
Chairman?
Hearing Han Qi refer to Ye Chen, everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Zhou Bo, who was practically dumbfounded.
What, this DiDi Brother is actually the chairman of Star Media.
CEO Han Qi glanced at the internet celebrity and said: "From now on, you'll be blacklisted by Star Media, never to be hired."
Thud!
Zhou Bo sat down on the floor.
Star Media is a major film company, being blacklisted by them, if this news got out, his path to acting is blocked.
Zhou Bo wanted to plead but was directly thrown out by Han Qi's men.
Director Wang was also stunned, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
As a major chairman, how could he possibly act for him?
However, Ye Chen's aura perfectly fit this role.
Ye Chen seemed to see through Director Wang's thoughts and smiled: "Director Wang, I can do half a day of shooting each day, is that alright?"
"Yes, yes, makeup artist, hurry and get Chairman Ye ready." Director Wang responded excitedly.
