Halfway through, an abandoned male lead came out to grab the second male lead. The screenwriter was speechless for a second, and hurriedly persuaded Ji Sheng to go back.

"No, Xie Xuanming said that he only likes the role of the male lead. If it's not the male lead, he won't play it. Ji Sheng, please do me a favor, and give him the male lead..."

The screenwriter was extremely sincere, and Ji Sheng could only respond. While agreeing, he wondered, wondering if Xie Xuanming had such an image in the circle, he was stubborn to choose a role even after he couldn't make it to the play.

pretty good.

Very tough, not easy to be bullied.

Ji Sheng said a few more words to the screenwriter, reminding him to remember to hang up the phone after contacting Qingchu.

Ji Sheng waited for Qingchu to receive a message to contact him, but for some reason, several weeks passed without any news. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only contact the screenwriter to inquire again, but the screenwriter couldn't explain it clearly, and only vaguely said that there was some contradiction in the salary, and asked Ji Sheng to wait.

Ji Sheng had no choice but to ask about the approximate start-up time, then went to ask Sheng Kongzhi where he took his acting courses.

"Are you going to act?" Sheng Kongzhi said after being surprised for a second, "It's good, you are very photogenic, and acting will definitely become popular."

"I'm not for the fire." Ji Sheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He suppressed his emotions, and then became a little weird, "Don't you know that I want to act?"

"I don't know." Sheng Kongzhi said, "The company didn't tell me."

"..." Ji Sheng was even more surprised. When Qing came out of that small company, it was a matter of great joy for an artist to receive resources. As soon as Li Mi's irresistible mouth yelled, the whole company knew about it.

Sheng Kongzhi had never heard the news.

How strange.

"I'll send you that training camp. But this class doesn't seem to accept private registration, you'd better ask the company to contact them directly." Ji Sheng was still weird, knowing that Sheng Kong had ended this topic, he could only start with these Detached from his thoughts, he said a few perfunctory words after thanking him, and hung up the phone.

Ji Sheng waited for a few days, but did not wait for the contact from the company, but waited for the hot search first.

#Ji Sheng Acting#

Click on the hot search, it's a marketing account, saying that Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming are being contacted for a popular novel and drama adaptation, and they want them to play the male first male and the second male respectively.

As expected, the comment area became the scene of a battle. The fans of Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming fought head-on, and the fans of Sheng Kongzhi were also angry.

[Tsk tsk, as expected, even if he did not make his debut, even if he acted in a movie, he still has to act as a supporting role for the popular top]

[Don't cue Xie Xuanming, don't accept being tied up with the waste of fake private associations]

[Tut tsk, the royal family is the royal family, black rumors are flying all over the sky and there are personal tours and theater performances, pity my son, he works hard, and he can't go on tour because of his teammates]

[Sheng Bailian's fans don't go too far, who cut off the resources of teammates?]

[You steamed and said "I don't want to act", and now the band has no way to go and has the cheek to lick the drama cakes. It's really up and down. What kind of waste recycling bin is the profession of an actor, throwing all kinds of garbage into it? ?]

[The upstairs is really right, didn't you just throw it in there sooner?]

[…]

There were nearly 10,000 comments in the fan battle. Ji Sheng's fans have been hit hard since the "birthday party". .

What made them even more heartbroken was that the passers-by who heard the news also stepped on Ji Sheng.

After all, the hot search for "I don't want to act" was widely spread at that time, and the person who said this was going to act in a TV series in a few days, so the perception of passers-by would not be so good.

When Ji Sheng saw the comments, the quarrel had escalated. Sheng Kong knew that the fans were accusing the critics and defending their rights, and his fans began to swear poisonously. De-powder immediately.

Ji Sheng looked through the comment section in silence, locked his phone and stared at the black screen, thinking about something, and suddenly received a call from Li Tan.

"I want to talk to you about acting." Li Tan started the topic, "Recently, the company has been too busy with this matter, so I can't talk about it, so I want to talk to you about my ideas."

"Hmm..." Ji Sheng answered absently.

"There's something wrong with that show... I don't know if someone has leaked the news that you can no longer play music because of your hand injury. They use this to drive down the price crazily, and the remuneration they give is completely unreasonable..."

"So you declined?" Ji Sheng asked suddenly.

"No." Li Tan paused when he asked, "The other party is very persistent with you, but the company thinks you shouldn't lower your value to accept such a drama... What do you think?"

"Persistence and low prices." Ji Sheng said abruptly, "This drama is really contradictory."

Li Tan paused again. Ji Sheng's words contained doubts that even the deaf could hear. As the boss, Li Tan felt a little uneasy, so he raised his voice and said, "Are you suspicious of the company's manipulation?"

"No, I'm just very interested in this drama." Ji Sheng said, "After all, my hand is injured now, and I can't play the drums. It's good to develop in a different direction."

Li Tan was a little worried.

The production team who came into contact with Ji Sheng was a source that Qingchu had long been optimistic about. The popular IP adaptation TV series, the male lead and the second male lead, as long as they can get one, it will be a great bonus to Qingchu.

Qingchu originally planned to talk to Sheng Kongzhi about the role of the second male lead, but unexpectedly the show crew came to the door and asked Ji Sheng to play the male lead at a high price.

Li Tan was first taken aback by this kind of big pie falling from the sky, and then began to worry.

Although Ji Sheng is also an artist of Qingchu, it is also a good thing to get a role to make money for Qingchu, but he knows that the daughter of Qingchu's major shareholder doesn't want to see Ji Sheng, and Ji Sheng was slashed a month ago. Just go to the bureau... How could she allow Ji Sheng to play the male lead with such a deep hatred.

Sure enough, the young lady who invested in the business went crazy when she heard the news. She was bombarded with phone calls, threatening to withdraw the investment, and yelling frantically to make Ji Sheng look good again.

For Ji Sheng's safety, and also for Qingchu's development, Li Tan had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over, coaxing Ji Sheng to reject the script.

He originally thought it was an easy task, after all, Ji Sheng's lack of interest in acting was obvious, and he didn't think he would be too obsessed with a drama.

But Li Tan realized that the matter was difficult at this moment, and Ji Sheng was more difficult than expected, so he was stubborn and refused to refuse.

Li Tan frowned, vaguely guessing something was wrong from Ji Sheng's uncharacteristic behavior, and asked tentatively, "That's why you want to act in this drama? In fact, it's not a very good choice."

"I don't particularly want to act." Ji Sheng really ticked the box, revealing a little bit, "It's just that Xiao Xie is going to take on this show for the next play, and the crew doesn't have enough actors. If no one takes it, the shooting will be aborted."

"..." Li Tan was silent for a long time, and asked strangely, "Is that what Xie Xuanming told you?"

"Ok."

"... No wonder." Li Tan said in a low voice.

No wonder the show crew is so obsessed with Ji Sheng. If Xie Xuanming and Ji Sheng can be put together on the same crew, a lot of publicity can be made in terms of topicality.

and…

Li Tan recalled that the staff of the show once said helplessly: "It's not that we must have Ji Sheng, but the actor that the scriptwriter wants must have Ji Sheng in the role, and we have no choice..."

That's what it means.

Li Tan suddenly became enlightened, and while being amazed that Xie Xuanming's cold-hearted boy was so affectionate and righteous, he found a new entry point in his heart.

"Have you seen today's trending searches?"

"Look." Ji Sheng said.

"That's Xie Xuanming's company testing the waters." Li Tan said, "Xie Xuanming had a lot of conflicts with his company because of this drama. The company thought that the male second would lower his status and easily lose fans, but Xie Xuanming insisted."

"..." Ji Sheng remembered the comments on the hot search, and his complexion darkened a little.

Xie Xuanming's company is not alarmist.

"That's why they tried the Unicom marketing account, and you saw it too." Li Tan said, "Xie Xuanming's company is determined. Even if it doesn't have the resources, it can't accept bad cakes, but Qing appeared now to find a way to have both."

"any solution?"

"Song Zhi has a schedule." Li Tan said, "The show is very satisfied with Kong Zhi. Xie Xuanming's company also said that compared to you, Kong Zhi's actor image as a male lead is more acceptable. If Kong Zhi takes over the role, the show can continue to shoot normally. , Xiao Xie will not have conflicts with the company fans."

Ji Sheng didn't reply immediately, he lowered his head and thought for a while: "Does Xiao Xie agree with this decision?"

"Why doesn't he agree? Doesn't everyone who plays this play start filming the same?"

"That's not the problem." Ji Sheng said, "He and Kongzhi... have some conflicts."

"What kind of conflict can rise to work?" Li Tan laughed loudly, "Could it be that the two of them are still fighting because of you?"

Li Tan made a joke, but had no intention of touching the truth. Ji Sheng's mind flashed Xie Xuanming's approaching face, the coldness of his lips, the vitriolic words of the stand-in after the forced kiss... and finally those sparkling eyes.

He was stung for a moment, and then immediately suppressed all these emotions forcibly, and said: "There is no such thing, the two of them... cooperation should be fine."

"That's good." Li Tan laughed a few more times, "Then I will reject the drama party for you. As for the cooperation with Kongzhi, let me talk to Xiaoxie. Anyway, we have some friendship. He still has to listen to what big brother says."

Ji Sheng thought in his heart that he didn't listen to my words that I was closer than his own brother, and he didn't care about you.

But he really didn't want to take the initiative to face the angry Xie Xuanming, so he hummed and said, "Go ahead and talk about it."

"Okay." Li Tan readily agreed, "By the way, the doctors I introduced to you before..."

"A hand healer?" Ji Sheng replied softly, "No need, I've seen them all."

They all said they were powerless.

"Oh, so... Xiao Ji, don't be sad. Now that the medical technology is so advanced, it can always be cured. You can rest well. Kongzhi will come out of the crew in two days. I will go to see you with him... I will have a meeting later, first Bye."

"Well, good bye."

After refusing to drop the role for a while, Ji Sheng hesitated over and over again whether to explain the matter to Xie Xuanming, but he heard that Xie Xuanming's debut movie was blocked when it was released, and he saw Xie Xuanming's ugly face in the filming, tired and unhappy... After deleting and deleting, I still don’t know how to speak.

He hesitated for a long time, and he couldn't send the message until the day when the cast was officially announced.

On the morning of the official announcement, Ji Sheng was woken up by a phone call early in the morning.

"Hello..." He picked it up in a daze, breathing heavily on the other end, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"Hey, who is it?" Ji Sheng took down his phone and wanted to read the names, but his eyes were narrowed tightly, and he couldn't read the words clearly.

"Are you so eager to win Sheng Kongzhi's position?" The voice from the phone made Ji Sheng's squinted eyes widen in an instant.

"Xiao Xie?"

"Don't call me that!" Xie Xuanming growled, his tone filled with emotion, "Ji Sheng, have you lost your mind when you're in love? You've been harmed by Sheng Kongzhi, and you still let the role be given to him... isn't it? In the beginning, it was Qing Chu who asked you to take this role?"

"What are you talking about?" Ji Sheng was confused, "Wait..."

Xie Xuanming didn't explain to him.

"Forget it." Xie Xuanming lowered his voice, "What's the use of telling you this."

"Xiao Xie..."

"Anyway, you don't care about anything, you only care about Sheng Kongzhi's feelings...I actually only understand now." Xie Xuanming laughed at himself and hung up the phone.

Ji Sheng held the phone in a daze for a while, dialed it back and couldn't get through, and then sent messages to Xie Xuanming, each message was followed by a bright red exclamation point.

Ji Sheng didn't know what to do and stopped contacting Xie Xuanming, swiped his hand and switched to Weibo, just in time to refresh a news item.

["I want to stick with the president" is officially announced as the lead actor, the second actor Xie Xuanming was originally scheduled to stop acting, the termination fee may be as high as 10 million]
