Chapter 746 - RW 1.41
"How is it?" Bai Yunyu asked after the first scene of the script ended. He was still sitting on Long Shen's lap, and Long Shen seemed to enjoy this so much.
"You're perfect playing as Bo Yun. This is a high school rom-com BL web series, and your bright and cute face will be good in the camera as well," Long Shen complimented sincerely. "But there is one grievance in me."
"Eh? Grievance?" Yunyu tilted his head. "Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, about the male lead… it's so unfortunate that I cannot play as Kim Tae-Oh," Long Shen said. "I'm too mature for his role, and he needs to be played by Korean descent, or at least mix Korean-Chinese descent. Because his facial feature is that of a Korean."
"Ah, I see…."
Yunyu stared at Long Shen and noticed that Long Shen was on the mature side. Although he was very young to be a director and play as a high school student, he didn't pass the requirement.
"How old are you right now?"
"29."
[Ah, so the same age range as Long Shen in the original world. But he looks younger here… maybe because of less stress…]
"Well, it's fine. You're going to direct the series, right? You can see me shine as an actor, Mr. Director, hehe~."
Long Shen also laughed as he saw how happy Yunyu was right now. Of course, he had no intention to ruin the movie because of his ego. He didn't fit as Kim Tae-Oh, "Well, it's fine. I happen to find the actor that will play it. He is of Korean-Chinese mixed descent, and he is also talented. He is only one year younger than you."
"Eh? He is younger than me?"
"Yep, he is 18 years old."
"Ah, then what's his name?"
"You will meet him soon. In fact, he is on his way here," Long Shen said. "You should wait, do you want something? I can order the staff to buy food."
"Ah, no need. I will just go and eat with Mr. Zhu. He is waiting outside the whole time, you know…."
"Ah, Zhu Junze… do you guys have…."
"No, not at all. I told you, right? My heart is reserved only for Han Ye. I will never cheat on him…." Yunyu replied.
Long Shen still couldn't accept that Yunyu would give his heart to someone that didn't love him at all. Yunyu was too precious, but Long Shen couldn't do anything when it involved heart.
Because we couldn't just decide who to love, it was all based purely on instinct.
Bai Yunyu jumped from Long Shen's lap and kissed Long Shen's cheek, "I'm going to have lunch with Zhu Junze. I'll return after, okay?"
"Okay, then. I'm waiting for Kim Tae-Oh actor to come."
**
Thus, Yunyu exited the room and saw Zhu Junze sitting while calling his secretary about some arrangement. He hung up the call when he saw Yunyu and asked, "How is it? You got the role, right?"
"I do! Thanks to you, Ze'er!"
Zhu Junze sighed in relief. He was thinking about using his influence to force Director Long Zhen to put Yunyu in. But as expected, he didn't need to do it because Yunyu was truly talented.
"Let's have lunch, shall we?"
Junze and Yunyu went to the nearest restaurant and ordered a few stuff. They chatted, mostly talking about Junze's life until he could be a successful CEO at such young age.
Although he was born with a gold spoon, he worked hard for the company. He was talented at finding the right person to cast as well.
"So, I'm planning to invest money in this BL web drama, Yunyu."
"Like, a sponsor?"
"Yeah, I usually invested in some movies or series that I think would succeed. I had no interest in this BL web drama before, but since you will enter the cast, I'm planning to."
"Hehe, am I talented enough to attract your investment?" Yunyu raised his brow and giggled coquettishly to tease Junze.
Zhu Junze's cheeks reddened. He nodded lightly, "You are."
Yunyu and Junze were waiting for their food when suddenly, a young man around Yunyu's age approached their table.
He coughed once to get the attention of Junze and Yunyu, and Yunyu's face soured instantly.
"Tsk, tsk, Yunyu, now that you have been fired from the series, you went on to find a sponsor?" Bi Hexian suddenly popped out of nowhere and interrupted Junze and Yunyu's lunch.
It wasn't surprising for Yunyu, though, since their studios were actually close to each other.
Zhu Junze's face darkened instantly. He glared at Bi Hexian and asked, "Who are you, and what is your problem here? I'm with him because he is my new actor."
"New actor?" Bi Hexian closed his mouth as if he was surprised. "Mr. Zhu Junze is willing to hire this man as an actor? He is very incompetent, you know~ he just got fired from the previous series because he is not good enough~."
"I happen to be the one who replaced his role in that series. Even the Director praised me that I'm much better than this man~" Bi Hexian tried to advertise himself. He was quite annoyed that Yunyu could easily get someone as amazing as Mr. Zhu Junze, the CEO of Yun'er Ent.
'This guy must've offered his body to Mr. Zhu Junze. No way in hell he can get sponsor that fast!' Bi Hexian thought. 'Obviously, I'm much more good looking and talented than him. Even Han Ye Gege said so. So I must be able to get Mr. Zhu Junze as well~.'
Zhu Junze was unimpressed by this young man who suddenly barged in and disturbed his time with Yunyu. He tried to be civil and said, "That's fine, Bai Yunyu is now under my sponsor, and he has another role as the main character."
"Main character?!" Bi Hexian's eyes widened as he glared at Yunyu. He tried to force a smile on Zhu Junze and said, "M—Mr. Zhu is surely a jest. This man has no talent—"
"Who said that you can slander my talent in front of me?" Zhu Junze interrupted with a sharp remark, making Bi Hexian's body stiff all over.
