“Plundering time” is a commercial film with literary and artistic flavour. There are three main characters in the film, male lead Li Haiyang, second male Luo Yi, and villain Zhao Heng.
Shen Qingshu auditioned for the role of Luo Yi.
In fact, the part of this character is not as much as that of villain Zhao Heng, but due to the significance of the character and the love of the director, he was able to tie with Zhao Heng as the second male.
Before Shen Qingshu left, Zhou Jianming specially contacted director Zheng and wanted to ask him if he had an audition script.
As a result, director Zheng said, “wait until you come.”
“They will test your improvisation skills and adaptability.” Zhou Jianming informed Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu nodded, but didn’t care much.
He has always had a good mentality towards his work, since he was lucky to have a second chance after he lost his life. Now that he has become popular, sooner or later good scripts will be handed over one after another in, so even if the audition is not successful, it will not have a great impact.
Therefore, Shen Qingshu took a bath, put on comfortable clothes and lay in the quilt calmly. He appeared in front of director Zheng the next day full of energy.
It was March, the weather had just warmed up. Shen Qingshu was casual as he wore a thick white sweater with jeans and sneakers.
He had a handsome appearance. When he wore it, he looked younger, as if he were a student who had not left the campus.
Director Zheng looked at him carefully and Shen Qingshu let him observe generously.
His foundation is really good. Even if he doesn’tspecially put on makeup, no imperfections could be seen. On the contrary, it shows that he is as natural as lotus in clear water.
Director Zheng had interviewed several actors about his age before, so he didn’t expect much from him. If it weren’t for Meng Zhi’s recommendation, he wouldn’t have given Shen Qingshu the opportunity to audition at all.
But now, he looked at Shen Qingshu standing in front of him, tall and straight, clean and thorough, with his eyebrows full of sunshine and youth. He had to admit that Shen Qingshu was indeed the best and most suitable one among the candidates who auditioned for Luo Yi.
Zheng asked his assistant to pass the audition script to Shen Qingshu. Shen Qingshu took it, read through it and soon memorised it.
This performance is not difficult. It is one of the scenes of Luo Yi and Li Haiyang getting along.
The young man was proud and smiled brightly. Even though he had put on his police uniform, he was still young and lively when walking beside his master.
He said, “Don’t worry, master. Evil cannot win against justice.”
He pointed to his head. “I stored all the information in my mind. Don’t worry.”
He walked backwards, his hands behind his back and hummed a happy song in his mouth. He clearly had a ahead of him, but he slept forever at the age of 23.
Zheng Dao looked at Shen Qingshu who tilted his head. A smile could be seen on his slightly inclined face. His eyes were full of light, just like summer. He turned his head gently and the sun shone on him.
Zheng Dao is inexplicably sad. He is not sad about his performance, but sad about his death.
The more dazzling, the heavier the sadness.
He thinks Meng Zhi is right. Shen Qingshu is really suitable for the role of Luo Yi.
“Go back first and I’ll contact your agent.” Director Zheng informed him.
“Yes.” Shen Qingshu bowed respectfully to him.
Meng Zhi waited until he left before slowly opening his mouth, “how about it? Isn’t he suitable?”
“You have good vision.” Director Zheng squinted at him.
“Of course.” Meng Zhi smiled. “His acting skills are also good, or is he acting in his true colours? There was almost no trace of acting in the scene just now.”
Director Zheng also thinks so. His age is similar to that of Luo Yi and he obviously hasn’t suffered. He is full of sunshine, so his state is really like that of Luo Yi.
“Has he been quite popular lately?”
“Yes, you’d better sign a contract with him quickly if you want to make it into his schedule. Otherwise, he may no longer be available.”
“For my movie? Even if there is no free time, he will come.” Director Zheng is very confident.
Meng Zhi smiled and said nothing.
Shen Qingshu heard the signing news from Zhou Jianming the next day, “Great, Qingshu, director Zheng asked me to sign the contract in the next few days.”
“Very good, then you go.” Shen Qingshu said.
“Well, now I don’t have to worry about the next script.” Zhou Jianming said happily.
However, some people are happy, others are unhappy.
Han Cheng knew that he had succeeded in the audition and his mood was instantly not so wonderful. “Did you pick up a script again?”
Shen Qingshu nodded. “Work is like this, endless.”
Han Cheng: …
Han Cheng nodded helplessly in resignation to his fate: “Okay, then I’ll visit you often when the time comes.”
“En.” Shen Qingshu responded.
He took the script here and was ready to speed up the completion of his campus novel, which is expected to be completed during the Spring Festival. Unfortunately, he overestimated his hand speed and finally reached the last few plots in March.
Fortunately, there are not many chapters left. Shen Qingshu made a schedule for himself, clocked in every day and finally finished the following story within a week.
His readers were reluctant to part, and the Car God sent a private message. He asked: [When will the next book open? Of QingQing and Chenghan?]
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu felt that he really wanted to see Su Qing and Cheng Han live three lives!
But he hasn’t derided yet.
To be honest, his first book was based on the current hot genres. His second book is a campus romance with the intention to sell copyrights. In fact, the writing purpose of both books is not simple, so Shen Qingshu wants to think about it and write something he really wants to write.
Drunkenly looking at the sword under lamp light: [I haven’t thought about it yet. I guess I have to take a break before starting the next novel.]
Seeing his news, Han Cheng understood it well. He is much more popular now than before and his working hours are much longer, he has less rest time to write.
He didn’t rush him either, but said: [then you have a good rest. Your health is the most important.]
Shen Qingshu replied happily: [En, thank you for your understanding.]
Car Shen: [You’re welcome.]
In this way, the busy days passed and “Southern Rose” finally passed reviews in late March and officially started broadcasting.
Shen Qingshu also made many announcements and advertised the TV series with the crew.
During this period of time, his popularity soared so fast that Su Luo was embarrassed to face him again. Sun Xuan was full of jealousy and wanted to replace him.
Shen Qingshu didn’t want to talk to them when he wasn’t popular before. Now he’s popular, he basically treated them like air.
Director Li was very happy to see him again and talked to him for a long time.
Seeing this, Bai Xuege said to him, “you are popular, and the whole crew is happy, except Su Luo and Sun Xuan.”
“Unfortunately, it’s no use for them to be unhappy.”
Bai Xuege instantly laughed and patted his shoulder, “Your popularity exploded.”
“Partly due to good luck.” Shen Qingshu said modestly.
Bai Xuege doesn’t think so, when he was not yet popular, he did all the preparatory work before joining the crew. It can be seen that he has worked hard in places others can’t see.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. With his appearance and willingness to work hard, there is only one outcome.
The time will come, if not now then later.
“What are you going to do next?” Bai Xuege asked him.
“I auditioned for director Zheng’s film a while ago. I should enter the group in April or may.”
“That’s good.” Bai Xuege encouraged him, “director Zheng is a well-known director. It’s also a good thing that you can cooperate with him. Come on.”
Shen Qingshu looked at his childish face. He always felt that it was amusing to be told by a child with “come on.” So he asked, “What about you? What are you going to do next?”
“I have a movie, too.” Bai Xuege said, “The shooting should also be around April or may. The script is pretty good, Qin jie wants me to win an award.”
“Then come on, too.”
“Let’s work hard together.” Bai Xuege patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be mature and sighed.
Shen Qingshu laughed and thought he was cute.
As they were chatting, they heard the staff say they should go on stage. Then they quickly helped each other check their clothes and followed the staff onto the stage.
The host looked at the two of them and said, “today is really a visual feast. Our male number one and number two are so handsome.”
The fans at the bottom immediately screamed.
The host smiled and asked them a few questions, then drew the audience to ask questions.
The audience, who didn’t know where they got it from, opened their mouths and said, “We all know Qingqing, you can speak very well. Can you tell us? Have you ever taught Xiao Bai’s didi in the crew? Will Xiao Bai didi listen to you?”
Shen Qingshu’s fans were killed in an instant.
Bai Xuege’s fans are also speechless and think this is simply on purpose.
Shen Qingshu is very calm, and the smile on his face is as warm as ever. “Teacher Xiao Bai started earlier than me and has more acting experience. Naturally, only he gives me lessons. How dare I give him lessons.”
The host quickly laughed and wanted to change the topic, but Bai Xuege opened his mouth first.
“Everyone acts differently in front of different people and on different occasions. The debate field is not a place for silence, so he works hard and conveys his thoughts, which is his dedication. But in normal times, compared to the debating Shen Qingshu This person actually likes to talk about stand up comedy more, and I quite like listening to him talk. Listening to other people doing stand up comedy requires a fee. But when listening to Shen Qingshu doing stand up comedy he not only doesn’t want money, but also provides me with melon seeds for free.”
The audience laughed and even Shen Qingshu was amused by his words.
The host said with a smile, “Really? I’d like to hear Qingshu perform stand up comedy for us on the spot.”
Shen Qingshu quickly refused, “Forget it, I have to record “come and listen to me” later, so let me talk less now. I’ve been talking too much lately and I had to moisten my throat before I came on stage.”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing again.
After the press conference, Shen Qingshu and Bai Xuege went on the hot search.
Some people even started a CP for them. The name has also been chosen, they are called QingBai.
“Qing Qing and Xiao Bai must have a good relationship, so Xiao Bai couldn’t help becoming cheeky on stage.”
“It’s so sweet. Qing Qing calls Xiao Bai, Teacher Xiao Bai, so cute.”
” Bai Xuege is not yet an adult, isn’t it bad?”
“What do you know? This is friendship!”
“Yes, what we’re shipping friendship and family affection. Do you know the story of the green and white snakes? Good brothers!”
Han Cheng: …
Han Cheng crankily shook his head. He felt that the melon seed eating masses deserve their reputation with their ability to crack melon seeds?!
Can’t they eat what they should? For example, he is the only official match!
Alas, Han Cheng has some helplessness, this is one of the reasons why he didn’t want Shen Qingshu to be a star – it’s too easy to get involved with others.
Such an eyesore!
After browsing weibo, he saw Shen Qingshu sitting upright on the sofa, so he came up to him, “Your drama is about to start?”
Shen Qingshu nodded and handed him an orange. “It’ll start in a minute.”
“That’s why you’ve been busy lately.”
“Right?” Shen Qingshu leaned on his shoulder. “I have to rush to promote recently and record “Come and listen to me “. I feel I don’t have time to rest.”
Han Cheng touched his head and hugged him. He wanted Shen Qingshu to accompany him before entering the crew. It seems that there is no hope.
Depressed, he lowered his head to peel the orange. As soon as he finished peeling the orange, Shen Qingshu opened his mouth to him, “ah.”
Han Cheng: …
Han Cheng divided the orange into two, broke off two sections and stuffed them into his mouth, “You’re so lazy.”
Shen Qingshu leaned on his shoulder with a smile, “You’re the best ~”
“How can I not be the best. I serve you like a young master every day. Can you find a second person like me?”
Shen Qingshu nodded hurriedly and held his hand. “You are the only one, you are the best.”
Han Cheng snorted and ate sections of orange himself.
Shen Qingshu opens his mouth again and Han Cheng has to feed him while eating.
As he was feeding, the opening song of “Southern Rose” rang – the drama began.
Shen Qingshu quickly swallowed the orange in his mouth and concentrated on watching TV.
Han Cheng also watched attentively.
It has to be said that director Li’s shooting technique is really beautiful and each frame is like art.
The scene of Shen Qingshu turning back in front of the rose bushes was selected as part of the opening song, accompanied by the female singer’s low singing, which seems to encompass feelings of friendship.
“You look good on camera.” Han Cheng boasted.
Shen Qingshu felt the same way. He leaned on Han Cheng again and watched TV with him.
The show starts with Li Xiwei, played by Su Luo, being late. She stands in the corridor outside the classroom and sees Jiang Nan, played by Bai Xuege, who is also punished for being late. She looks curiously and sees Jiang Nan sitting down and sleeping with his head tilted. Li Xiwei is shocked and silently observes him through morning self study.
The plot of the first two episodes was very fast. In just two episodes, Li Xiwei and Jiang Nan became deskmates for various reasons.
Li Xiwei dislikes that he doesn’t study hard, while Jiang Nan dislikes that she only knows how to study.
Two people fight in class and after class, which leads to a lot of comedic moments.
In fact, the plot of this part has not been changed much, it is almost the same as that in the book. It can be regarded as a restoration of the original work. Therefore, the book fans are very satisfied. The audience who have not read the book also think the drama is well made and there are people who are chasing the drama.
In the third and fourth episodes broadcast the next day, Shen Qingshu finally appeared.
He played Li Xiwei’s neighbour gege in the play and was adored by her from childhood. He had a good relationship with her. In his spare time he will help Li Xiwei with her homework and listen to her complaints about Jiang Nan.
No one dislikes the gentle and tolerant character design, so as soon as Shen Qingshu’s role appeared, his fans actively sold Amway.
He has been popular recently and many people are interested in him. Many people went to watch the drama with a curious attitude, and they all became drama fans after they came back.
The drama has been broadcast for three days, all the key characters have appeared, the tone has been preliminarily set. Allowing fans to finally put down their uneasy hearts.
“As long as we keep this rhythm, the drama will explode.”
“There is already a trend of the drama exploding. For three consecutive days, the ratings have been rising steadily. People say it’s superb and everyone around me is chasing it.”
“Yes, several forums I visited these days are also chasing the play, they say the rhythm and plot are really great.”
“Not just the rhythm and the plot, the beauty is real. How did the crew manage to bring Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu together? I’m so envious of Su Luo, okay?”
“Although Shen Qingshu was not popular when he was filming, he is getting better and better [Covers face].”
“The crew is also super lucky. Before the drama was broadcast, Shen Qingshu became popular. So amazing.”
“Don’t mention it, they are all fictitious characters. So why is only Qiu Jia, not a handsome man? Do you think our Qiu Jia is undeserving? Why did you find a greasy man like Sun Xuan to play him!”
Everyone laughed and comforted, “There’s no way. It’s really difficult to find an all handsome cast.”
“Woo woo.” Qiu Jiafen fans cried louder.
Shen Qingshu looks at the praise on the forum and rolls happily in the quilt.
After all, this is his first work, so he puts great importance on it. For actors, their work will always be what represents them. Only when your works are liked by everyone will you be liked by everyone and have the opportunity to create more and better works.
“Southern Rose” is his first work, so he instinctively hopes that the drama can get a good evaluation.
“Thank goodness.” Shen Qingshu said happily.
Han Cheng and an associate finished dinner, saw each other off at the door of the teahouse and turned to get in his car.
Today’s associate doesn’t like drinking. He is a tea lover, so Han Cheng doesn’t have to drink with him. He just needs to watch the tea ceremony with the customer and taste a pot of tea.
The night breeze is gentle, and Han Cheng is driving with a leisurely mood.
He looked at his watch, it was over nine o’clock. Shen Qingshu should still be awake. He was probably still surfing the Internet and brushing the forum.
These days, his TV drama has just aired. Shen Qingshu goes to the forum every night to see the audience’s evaluation of him and the drama. When they praise him, he rolls happily and when they scold him, he rolls angrily.
Han Cheng thought he was so cute. When he saw him looking up posts about himself, sometimes he couldn’t help it and pulled someone into his arms and kissed him.
When he thought about it, he couldn’t help driving faster. Like wanting to go back early and do something a driver should do before it gets too late.
Han Cheng stopped at the red light.
While waiting for the red light, he looked bored out of the window. This time, he saw some not so good scenes.
——On the sidewalk not far away, two men were pulling a thin looking man. The person who was pulled didn’t seem willing. He struggled several times, but he couldn’t break free and continuously pulled forward staggeringly.
Han Cheng saw that the other party attempted to free his arms, but was half hugged by the opponent. Under the light, only the other party’s frowning and resisting could be seen.
Han Cheng gently turned the steering wheel, turned the corner and drove along the sidewalk
