Chapter 31 Isn’t it easy to act like a master?

"Filming? Invite me to audition tomorrow? I'm free tomorrow, so give it a try. Do you want someone to pick me up? No, I remember I have a car at home."

It's after nine o'clock at night.

Chen Zheng received a call from the beautiful writer Qin Yi. Qin Yi said that the immortal cultivation and time-travel drama was about to start filming and asked him to go for an audition tomorrow. He thought about it and agreed.

A few minutes later, in the living room.

"Filming? Really? Or an urban youth idol drama about a man who has returned from cultivating immortals? You took such a cheesy script? The other party is not asking you to be free labor! Wait a minute, why do I feel that such a cheesy script is exactly the same as your experience? Aren't you a man who has returned from cultivating immortals?"

When An Jing heard that Chen Zheng was going to film a movie tomorrow, and after listening to Chen Zheng talking about the script, she felt that the script was so cliché. But when she thought about it carefully, wasn't the experience of the protagonist in the script exactly Chen Zheng's own experience!

This... is too much of a coincidence!

"Could that beautiful writer Qin Yi be an old lover of yours who has traveled back in time? Is she deliberately trying to reconcile with you in this way?"

An Jing's eyes rolled and she suddenly thought of something.

"Sister An, aren't you thinking too much?"

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

"Who of you has a driver's license? Take me to the crew tomorrow."

Chen Zheng also smiled and asked.

"Me! Anyway, I'll rely on you from now on. I'll go see how your acting is tomorrow!"

An Jing spoke directly.

"..."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly. She actually wanted to go and see how Chen Zheng was filming, but An Jing had already spoken, so she decided not to go with him.

"Su Cheng will go with you tomorrow! Keep a close eye on this guy. If he falls in love with the actress and runs away with her, you, Su Cheng, will lose your personal bodyguard! So, you must keep a close eye on this guy!"

An Jing ignored Su Cheng and stared at Chen Zhengdao.

Chen Zheng just smiled faintly. To be honest, he really doesn't like most women.

...

The second day.

The crew scene.

This is a high-end residential area in Nanshi City. The crew rented a luxuriously decorated house to serve as the main scene.

However, when Chen Zheng appeared in front of the crew, many people frowned.

"Sister Qin, is he the male lead you're looking for?"

A young man with greasy hair and powdered face glanced at Chen Zheng with a flash of contempt. He then quickly glanced at An Jing and Su Cheng who came with Chen Zheng, and then said with a smile: "Hello, two beauties. My name is Lu Yun, a popular young actor. Please add your contact information. If you want to act in a movie or become famous, you can contact me privately!"

An Jing frowned slightly.

Su Cheng simply ignored it.

"Lu Yun, I have the final say on who will be the protagonist of this play!"

Qin Yi's pretty face turned cold.

"Uh... okay! But Sister Qin, you just find a newcomer with no experience to play the leading role. If this goes wrong, then no one can be blamed."

Lu Yun, with his slicked-back hair and powdered face, chuckled.

"Miss Qin, I feel that the young man you found is not very reliable." At this time, the director also spoke up, frowning and looking at Chen Zheng: "This newcomer is tall enough and looks okay, but his temperament is too ordinary. Compared with the protagonist you wrote, he doesn't look like her. And if you want to use a pure newcomer, I'm afraid the ratings will be... Although Yanran can be the heroine, if the male lead is not good enough..."

As soon as these words were spoken, 90% of the crew members looked at Chen Zheng with suspicion.

A complete newcomer?

Moreover, he is a pure newcomer who doesn't seem to have anything special. Can Qin Yi really make such a pure newcomer the protagonist?

"Director Xu, I have great confidence in Chen Zheng! I invested the majority of the money in this play, and I have the final say on the male lead. It's Chen Zheng!"

Qin Yi spoke directly.

"..."

Director Xu frowned, but could only shrug his shoulders. After all, Qin Yi was the main investor of this play. In this era, it is not surprising for investors to choose a male lead to support.

However, Director Xu was curious. This young man didn't look special, so why did Qin Yi take a fancy to him?

"I believe in Sister Qin's judgment."

At this time, the heroine Yanran, who had been silent all the time, spoke. She was wearing a simple T-shirt and denim hot pants. Her legs were white and slender. When she opened her mouth, she revealed a mouthful of white teeth. Her voice was as melodious as the song of a yellow oriole.

"This woman... is something!"

An Jing looked at Yanran and frowned slightly. She felt that this woman was not simple the first time she saw Yanran.

"Yan Ran... a first-line star... this play doesn't seem that simple..."

Su Cheng felt the same as An Jing, but she had heard of Yanran's name.

"Then... let's get started." Director Xu had no choice but to signal the crew to start moving. After all the preparations were in place, Director Xu thought about it and decided to personally explain to Chen Zheng how to act: "Chen Zheng, you should know the script. The first scene is very simple. The hero travels back from the fairy world and appears out of thin air in the heroine's house. Although the heroine is shocked, she is not an ordinary person. She is also the inheritor of the ancient Chinese martial arts school. So the heroine takes action and prepares to capture the hero. The hero is a cultivator after all. He defeats the heroine in an instant and then gives her a wall-dong! So... the hero must have the demeanor of a master. You just need to act like a peerless master!"

"I understand."

When Chen Zheng heard this, he smiled and nodded.

"Got it? That's good! Chen Zheng, don't let us down! Although you are the leading actor invited by Qin Yi personally, if you mess up your performance, it means that our work as crew members will be in vain. If I can't help it, I will curse you."

Director Xu looked at Chen Zheng seriously and signaled everyone to take their positions and prepare for the first scene.

"What a cliché! What a bloody plot!"

When An Jing heard this, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"..."

Su Cheng didn't know what to say. The first scene written by the beautiful writer Qin Yi was very similar to the first time she and Chen Zheng met. This must be just a coincidence.

"Action!"

Director Xu raised his hand and the first scene officially began shooting!

"You… who are you!"

Chen Zheng was standing in front of the window with his back to the heroine. The heroine had just come out of the bedroom and saw a stranger in the room at a glance. Her face turned cold and she asked in a cold voice.

"who I am..."

Chen Zheng turned around, glanced at Yan Ran, and stood there casually. At this moment, the time and space of the whole room seemed to have stopped! An indescribable aura emanated from Chen Zheng. Just standing there, he seemed to have taken control of everything!

"..."

Yanran was dumbfounded!

"..."

Director Xu was dumbfounded!

The greasy-haired Lu Yun was also dumbfounded! The crew members were also dumbfounded!

This...what kind of temperament is this? Why does it feel like when this guy stands there, he is the absolute center, the absolute focus!

"Perfect! So perfect! This is the temperament! This is the hero I created!"

Qin Yi reacted and screamed with joy on her face.

"Director Xu, will I pass my audition?"

At this time Chen Zheng looked at Director Xu.

"You...are really a complete newcomer?" Director Xu also came back to his senses. He was so surprised just now that he didn't come back to his senses even after shooting the first scene!

"It was my first time filming a movie. I listened to Director Xu's advice that emotional scenes might be difficult for me to play a master, but it was quite easy to play a master."

Chen Zheng smiled at Director Xu.

"..."

Director Xu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He thought Chen Zheng was a pure newcomer, and that Qin Yi had only taken a fancy to him, so Qin Yi had to force him to be promoted, and he had no hope for Chen Zheng's acting skills! He felt that the first scene must have been shot more than ten times, but in the end, Chen Zheng acted out a mysterious and unfathomable temperament with just a turn, a look, and a casual remark!

It would certainly not be difficult to let an old actor play the role of a peerless master, but Chen Zheng is a complete newcomer. Could he be an acting genius?
