Chapter 123: He Became the Film Emperor (7.6)
.
Translator: Mimi
Chu Ci walked out of the room, glancing at the people of the same profession who were still waiting for their turns, and then looked at the closed door behind him and sighed.
He walked in the direction of the elevator and said to the system in his mind, “I think this time drama audition is a little worry, I didn’t expect that the person who pushed my position is also there. Didn’t you say that he is the only one at Quan Gan’s side for four years because of the dirty trick he done? I’m afraid that I can’t escape his claws too, right?” Ever since he saw ‘Chu Ci’ sitting next to Quan Gan, he inexplicably became more disgusted with this person.
“That’s not necessary.” The system disapproved with Chu Ci’s words, he said confidently, “He can cover the sky with his hands before only because Quan Gan didn’t participate in the selection process. This time he was personally there and saw you. He is interested in you, then you have a chance. Remember, ‘Chu Ci’ has never been able to influence Quan Gan’s thinking. You don’t have to worry about him, he get what he shouldn’t get, so there is no way to last for a long time.”
“I will take your lucky words.”
Even with the system’s comfort, Chu Ci was still a bit worried. He didn’t forget that himself was very unlucky.
His cellphone rang just after he entered the elevator, it was Fan Chuan’s call, he must be asked about the drama audition’s situation.
“How was it? Have your audition over?” Fan Chuan estimated the time before he called. When the phone call was connected, he impatiently asked up.
“Yes.” Because the result had not yet come out, Chu Ci still reminded first, “I acted very well, but the onlookers not only have Quan Gan but also ‘Chu Ci’.”
Fan Chuan unconcerned, “It’s good to have your audition over. As long as Quan Gan himself is there, ‘Chu Ci’ is not a problem at all. You just have to wait for my news at home.” He couldn’t help saying with excitement, “This time, it’s completely no problem for you to squeeze into the second line star!”
Seeing Fan Chuan said the same, Chu Ci felt a lot relieved.
When Chu Ci didn’t work, he just stayed at home and brushed Quan Gan’s movements. A week passed in the blink of an eye.
After a week of silence, his cellphone finally rang.
Chu Ci quickly picked it up.
“Hahahaha!” As soon as the phone call was picked up, Chu Ci heard Fan Chuan’s laughter. Obviously he was in a very good mood, and his good mood meant good news.
“Do you remember the last drama audition? The crew’s phone call came today, and you were selected! I will go to their company to sign the contract for you later, and you will be ready to enter the crew after some time!” From the voice, Chu Ci could imagine Fan Chuan’s proud look.
Chu Ci froze after listening to Fan Chuan’s words, and looked at the huge poster on the wall, the smile on his lips became more and more obvious. He carefully thought about Fan Chuan’s confident tone in the past few days, and suddenly it became clear.
Fan Chuan had been in the entertainment circle for a long time, so to figure out other people’s ideas were norm. He said all right then it would all right, so Quan Gan over there might secretly doing action.
He sighed and said in his mind, “This process is really getting smoother.”
“Are you uncomfortable not receive oppressive?”
“No, no!”
Half a month later, Chu Ci received a notice from Fan Chuan that he could pack his luggage and enter the crew. The first filming location was in another province, he brought all the clothes he felt good-looking.
It had been half a month since the drama audition and he hadn’t in contact with Quan Gan.
If it was not for the system helped monitor him, he thought he had been forgotten. In fact, Quan Gan was busy with TV series these days. After the TV series was filmed, only then he could stay in the movie crew at ease.
Fan Chuan told him that the next day he would be with Quan Gan for nearly two months, so it was time for him to hook up with him.
The place to live was decided by the crew. After Chu Ci arrived, he checked in directly with his identity card.
The whole hotel has been reserved by the crew. He came early and the hotel was quite quiet. Obviously, there were still many people who didn’t arrive.
After Chu Ci in the room, he sorted out his things while asking the system in his mind. “System, when will Quan Gan join the group?”
“According to my observation, he must arrive before tomorrow, the shooting will start tomorrow and he is the lead actor.”
“Hehe, that’s good.”
Before Chu Ci done sorted out his things, the door of the room was knocked.
He opened the door strangely.
At the door stood a man he had never met, he looked at the sign hanging on his chest and knew he was the crew’s staff member.
Chu Ci determined that neither he nor Sang Qi knew this person, so he strangely said, “What’s the matter?”
The man looked at Chu Ci and said, “We have to prepare the filming site before the director comes, you can’t secretly hide here to rest.”
Chu Ci didn’t remember the actor need to do such a thing, so he kindly reminded, “I’m sorry, I’m an actor, not a staff member.”
The man looked behind him and said, “You don’t even have an assistant, should be just into the group, right? Don’t put on a celebrity airs, work with us.”
Chu Ci could only be sorry, “I don’t understand those things, and I will cause trouble for you if I go.”
“What are you chatting about? Everyone is busy!”
At this time, another person appeared from the corner.
He looked at Chu Ci and the person standing opposite him, “Hurry up, everything must be ready today, if you delay the course, your wages will be deducted.”
The man saw that his leader came and directly shifted the blame, “Didn’t you say to let everyone come to help? I called this person, but he said he is an actor and refused to help.”
Chu Ci stared blankly at the staff member with a hat on his head in front of him.
When he was just about to refute, the another person strode over and sized him up, “Actor? What line? Don’t put on airs, everyone is busy. The big names don’t come so early. Helping out won’t make you lose the strength to act.”
Chu Ci glanced at the man who slandered him and smiled, “Okay, everyone don’t despise my strength, I also join.”
He just turned Sang Qi’s memory again, only to find that he had done similar things. Not just him but also all the small actors were similar, because their status were too low, so they would be bullied.
“Then let’s go!”
Chu Ci closed the door and followed out.
While walking, the man still educated, “Work properly, people likes someone who hardworking.”
Chu Ci twitched his mouth, he just wanted Quan Gan to like him, if he couldn’t see it, it was useless no matter how hard he worked.
Suddenly his cellphone rang, it was Fan Chuan.
“Hello? Are you in the crew?”
Chu Ci looked at the people in front of him and said, “Yes.”
Fan Chuan said, “I sent an assistant over for you, he will arrive tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Chu Ci hung up the phone and quickly followed the people in front of him. He said friendly, “When will the director and the lead actor come?”
“So anxious to shoot a film?” The man in the front glanced at the younger man behind him, “The earliest is tonight, but they live in the five-star hotel. You can only see them tomorrow.”
Chu went out of the hotel and looked at the name of the inexpensive hotel behind him, silently sighed, “No wonder each and every one wants to fly to the front line as soon as possible, it’s simply not a level at all.” But he felt that his treatment was also not bad.
He set up the film studio together behind a group of people, preparing all kinds of things needed tomorrow. Fortunately, he was in the prime of youth and just good to exercise his muscles.
This group of people was busy until it was dark, and Chu Ci had been with everyone.
After they were done, everyone didn’t leave. He heard that the director would come to see, to make sure that the shooting tomorrow could go smoothly.
