Asking an actor "whether you want to be a starring role" is like asking Fan Jin if he wants to be selected.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Cheng Yan turned around and faced Xia Shaoqian, "An actor who doesn't want to be a leading role is not a good actor."

Xia Shaoqian didn't speak, he opened his mouth to enclose Cheng Yan's upper lip, and gnawed gently with his teeth. Cheng Yan responded unconsciously to the warm and moist play, and soon his lips and tongue were intertwined, and the numb and satisfied feeling spread throughout his body through his mouth.

The bedside lamp casts a quiet and soft light. The turbulent plunder has passed, and Cheng Yan floats gently with the aftertaste of lust. Thinking about the "leading role" was gradually stranded, and he fell asleep in this comfortable exhaustion.

Cheng Yan was woken up the next morning, Xia Shaoqian was sitting by the bed, already dressed, and handed the tie to Cheng Yan: "Help me tie the tie."

Cheng Yan hurriedly sat up, pulled off the bathrobe and put it on indiscriminately, and took the tie. Xia Shaoqian had already lowered his head, and Cheng Yan took advantage of the situation and wrapped his tie around his collar.

Wearing a tie for others doesn't feel the same as wearing a tie for yourself, Cheng Yan fiddled with it clumsily, wondering how Xia Shaoqian took him for granted.

"I talked about the leading role yesterday." Xia Shaoqian didn't seem to be in a hurry, and patiently watched Cheng Yan's movements.

"Oh..." Cheng Yan settled down, "I'll listen to Mr. Xia's arrangement."

Xia Shaoqian hummed and had no more words.

After fastening the tie, Cheng Yan stroked it to make it smoother. Xia Shaoqian unexpectedly leaned forward and left a superficial kiss on his lips.

Until Xia Shaoqian left, Cheng Yan was still a little confused.

Acting also pays attention to knowing oneself and the enemy. He is still groping for his own position, but Xia Shaoqian seems to have entered the state faster than him, with ease and enjoyment.

Cheng Yan thought about it for a while and was finally frustrated - if the two of them switched positions, he who paid the money would probably be free-spirited and play whatever he wanted.

The unlucky policeman in the martial arts drama is over, and Cheng Yan only has some odd jobs in his hands. Xiao Hu accompanied him to record two variety shows.

This day, as soon as he came out of the TV station, he met the fans who were squatting - although the number was rare, Cheng Yan also had food.

The little girl happily came up to her, took a photo with Cheng Yan, and asked, "Is the Jade Dragon Art finished?"

Cheng Yan replied: "My role is over."

The little girl twitched, opened her mouth and finally asked: "Someone on the Internet said that you were excluded... All subsequent scenes were deleted. Isn't it true?"

Before Cheng Yan opened his mouth, Xiao Hu quickly answered: "How could Cheng Yan be excluded? The crew all praised him for his good acting skills. This time, it was a small role, and it was only a small role. We can't ignore the toughness of the plot." Let’s add drama. You can’t believe what you say on the Internet.”

He has a simple and honest face, and his words are very sincere.

The little girl immediately looked at Cheng Yan with bright eyes to ask for proof, Cheng Yan could only nod his head.

After getting into the nanny car, Xiao Hu suddenly said: "I was careless. I have to say hello to the Yulong crew quickly. They want to fire whatever they like, but don't fire it on you."

"No way." Cheng Yan felt that he had nothing to blame, unless the matter between himself and Xia Shaoqian was revealed.

Xiao Hu retorted: "Why not. What if you have a big job next to you? It just so happens that Jade Dragon Jue is about to finish filming, so why don't you force yourself to fire it? It's not impossible to fire you to end Yulong hastily in order to take on a new job."

This is basically true. Cheng Yan remembered two days ago Xia Shaoqian hugged him and asked "Do you want to be a starring role".

"Is there really a big job?" he asked.

Xiao Hu smiled: "I just heard that my master made some sense, as if it was adapted from a novel. How about it, he will definitely talk to you in person when the time comes."

Books adapted from original works are generally more solid, and the stories are more interesting.

When Cheng Yan regained his senses, he realized that his hand was too tight, and he was trembling a little.

Teacher Yang really invited him to the company to talk that night.

There were two other people following Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang introduced in the middle: "This is Director He. The ratings of the two dramas he directed were very good, and everyone knows it." Cheng Yan laughed twice, and his doubts deepened. Director He is not an unknown person in the circle, but his characteristic is to play the youth card, and he likes to find young actors who have just left school.

Several people sat down with a cup of tea each. Teacher Yang cut straight to the point: "Director He is going to shoot Daisy and Silver Fir this time, and there is a character in it that is quite suitable for you."

"Daisy and Silver Fir?" Cheng Yan guessed it was the name of the novel, but he hadn't read it.

Director He's assistant immediately took out a copy from his bag and handed it to him: "The original version of the best-selling youth novel has sold nearly 100,000 copies. This figure is quite impressive. Our company got the right to remake it first."

The bright blue cover was beautifully done, Cheng Yan directly turned to the first page of the text and saw the word "Second Year in High School" at a glance.

"This... the main character is a high school student?"

There was a moment of silence in the small meeting room, and the air suddenly turned cold. Cheng Yan raised his head and looked at the crowd. Teacher Yang was smoking with ease, and Xiao Hu was diligently memorizing something in a small notebook. Director He hardly spoke from the beginning, and now he has no intention of speaking.

If it is a comic, there should be a flash of lightning accompanied by onomatopoeia such as "Boom!" Cheng Yan smiled wryly in his heart.

In the end, it was Director He's assistant who broke the embarrassment: "...the novel was written until I graduated from college."

Even after graduating from university, he is only twenty-one or twelve years old. Cheng Yan is twenty-nine this year, and he will be thirty when the show is finished and broadcast.

In fact, he is not old at all, his skin and figure are good, not much different from when he was twenty. But the biggest difference between a 20-year-old and a 30-year-old is temperament.

In the end, Director He lukewarmly made an appointment with Teacher Yang for an audition. It is said that it is an audition, but in fact, everyone knows that it is just a formality. Sure enough, the schedule was discussed immediately afterward. Several people were smoking. Cheng Yan's addiction to smoking, which he had quit for a long time, was finally hooked, and he asked Xiao Hu for one.

The warm and slightly spicy air filled the nasal cavity, and Cheng Yan gradually calmed down.
