I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 34
"Ah, it's already 06:30. Qingshan, Qingshan, don't look. I made an appointment with them at seven o'clock. If we don't leave, it will be too late."

Wearing light makeup, straight jeans on the lower body, and a white down jacket on the upper body, the delicate and charming Chen Yumo walked out of the bedroom with a shout.

Wan Qingshan, who was lying on the sofa watching TV and eating an apple, said calmly,

"It should be a few minutes before I finish watching this episode."

"Stop looking, put on your coat quickly. And remember to wear a mask, so you won't be recognized while watching a movie." Chen Yumo took off the windbreaker on the hanger and threw it towards Wanqing Mountain.

Wan Qingshan took off the windbreaker that covered his head, ate the apple in several big bites, and then stood up muttering, "It took you half an hour to put on your makeup, and it's only been a few minutes, but you didn't let me finish it."

Chen Yumo immediately threw a hygienic eye at him.

Wan Qingshan stopped mumbling when he saw this, turned off the TV, put on a mask and went out with Chen Yumo.

After seeing a group of people opposite the cinema from a distance, Chen Yumo, who was in a hurry, stopped immediately.

After her breathing stabilized, she flipped her hair, took out a mask from her bag, put it on, took Wan Qingshan's arm, and walked slowly towards the crowd.

This is the first time Wan Qingshan has seen Chen Yumo like this. It seems that no matter how beautiful a woman is, her appearance in front of her friends is the same as that of an ordinary woman.

Of the five people Chen Yumo made an appointment with, Wan Qingshan knew one of them, and the other four were all young female assistants from Nortel.

After Chen Yumo introduced Wan Qingshan, the group walked towards the cinema opposite.

On the way, Wan Qingshan slowed down a few steps and asked Huang Xiaolei beside him in a low voice, "Huangmao girl, didn't you go filming?"

In the past, Huang Xiaolei would stare at Wan Qingshan fiercely whenever she heard Wan Qingshan call her Huangmaoyatou.

This time she didn't. She sighed and whispered,
"Oh, no crew is looking for me. I'm just waiting for your movie to be released, hoping that one of the crew will take notice."

Wan Qingshan found Huang Xiaolei to play the role of Fang Jing.

However, Fang Jing's role only lasted a few minutes, and Wan Qingshan probably didn't think any of the crew would be interested in Huang Xiaolei, who only played a few minutes.

However, Wan Qingshan did not go to comfort Huang Xiaolei. Anyway, when she couldn't stand it anymore, there would be drama.

Before Huang Xiaolei graduated, she played the role of a silly girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun.

Although the reputation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not good after it was aired, no one knew that the reputation would be like this before filming started.

Zhang Huzi's Jin Yong drama also stars Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun, how attractive it is.

Even if it is a small role, there are many [-]th-tier actors competing for it.

Huang Xiaolei was able to join the cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" because of her good acting skills, but more importantly, her family connections.

However, she has a bit of a stubborn temper and doesn't want to rely on her family.When she entered "Legend of the Condor Heroes", it was secretly planned by her family and she was not informed.

After being discovered by Huang Xiaolei, she felt very embarrassed and determined not to let her family interfere with her acting career.

So - after graduation, she only worked as a soy sauce in the Wanqingshan crew.

When she can't stand it anymore, her temper will naturally change. When the time comes, she will talk to her family, who will naturally arrange a crew for her.

In order to make money, Yan Pingxue and his group put a lot of effort into publicity.

On the poster board at the entrance of the cinema, there should be only one poster for a movie, but there are three posters for "Selection", and they all occupy the most conspicuous positions.

The movie posters for "Little Things in a Big City" starring Wang Fei and Li Ming, and "Baby in Love" starring Zhou Xun, Huang Jue and Chen Kun were all pushed into corners.

Fortunately, these two movies were released for a while, and the box office was already bleak. Otherwise, the production companies of these two movies would have scolded China Film Group.

The three movie posters of "Selection" - it should be said that they are poster photos of Wanqingshan.

The three posters all feature Wan Qingshan, and Wan Qingshan's tragically handsome face is specially highlighted.

Under the photo of Wan Qingshan on the poster, it is written in large and conspicuous fonts that he won the 54th Berlin Best Actor Award.There are also small lines below, Berlin's best actor Wan Qingshan wrote, directed and starred in it.

The rest - gone, even the name of the female lead Chen Yumo did not appear on the poster.

"Yu Mo, why is your name not even on the poster?" one of the four young female assistants said in surprise.

"I don't like to be famous. It would be better if my name doesn't appear. It's best if my name doesn't appear on the movie cast list."

Chen Yumo sounded indifferent, but felt embarrassed in his heart.She doesn't even have a name, which makes it hard for her to show off.

Although there was no publicity for Wan Qingshan's starring role, Yan Pingxue and others poured money into major media news. Five days before the release, the news about the release of "Selection" was on the front page every day.

The lead actor Wan Qingshan became well-known throughout the country in disguise due to the news that he was caught betting on the World Cup.

Therefore, on the day of its release, many people came to watch "Selection".

After the movie started, Wan Qingshan glanced around and found that most of the seats were full.

Wan Qingshan could recite the plot of "Selection" by heart. He really couldn't watch it, so he watched it for 2 minutes and then leaned back out of boredom - to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Wan Qingshan opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yumo in confusion.

Chen Yumo retracted the hand that pushed Wan Qingshan awake and whispered, "The movie will be over soon, cheer up. I fell asleep while watching my own movie. If word of this gets out, who will buy a ticket to watch the movie."

Wan Qingshan shook his body and cheered up, and said nonchalantly, "There are no reporters here, and I am wearing a mask, who can recognize me.

Besides, the box office revenue doesn't matter a dime, and you don't have to worry about it getting out. "

Chen Yumo threw a hygienic eye and ignored Wan Qingshan.

After the movie ended, Wan Qingshan discovered it when he walked out with the crowd.

Most of the young viewers neither said the movie was bad nor good, but only said that Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo acted well.

A small number of young viewers complained that the film was shot in a mess and many parts were incomprehensible.

The slightly older audience members had silent expressions, as if they had not yet come out of the emotion of the movie.

This made Wan Qingshan a little confused, why the domestic audience and the Berlin audience were the other way around.

When "The Selection" was screened in Berlin, older audiences neither liked nor disliked it, but only slightly praised his acting skills.But it is very popular among young audiences.

Wan Qingshan walked out of the cinema with doubts, and then - he threw the doubts behind him.

Box office revenue is none of his business, and he won't waste his brain cells thinking about what's going on.

After leaving the cinema, everyone went to the restaurant opposite to eat.

Chen Yumo didn't eat much of this meal, but she was very happy. While Huang Xiaolei's appetite increased greatly, the smile on her face never stopped.

Wan Qingshan and the four teaching assistants were restless and had no taste for food.

At the dinner table, Chen Yumo never left Wanqingshan.

She was always told how nice Wan Qingshan was to her, and some things that were not true were naturally spoken by Chen Yumo.

Wan Qingshan wanted to laugh after hearing this, but not only could he not laugh, he had to suppress his laughter and concentrate on being a compliment to Chen Yumo.

Because - under the table, Chen Yumo's hand was on his thigh. If he laughed or missed a word, Chen Yumo would pinch his thigh.

Chen Yumo was very happy to show off, and Huang Xiaolei, who knew a little bit about the inside story, ate happily. Looking at the expressions of Wan Qingshan and the four people, she felt very satisfied.

Wan Qingshan and those four people suffered a lot!
