Therefore, under such circumstances, it was not impossible for Ye Luohan to stick to Luo Lingxing. Moreover, even if Ye Luohan did not take on work, it would not affect his popularity and status at all. He could still stay by Luo Lingxing’s side and accompany him.
Xiao Ming decided to keep his mouth shut and stop overthinking, otherwise he would be blinded by the couple’s affection before the audition.
He secretly decided that he must pay attention to the people around him and try to find a partner as soon as possible. No matter whether the person was male or female, as long as he could get out of the pink bubble circle created by Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing anytime and anywhere, he would marry them. Moreover, after he found a partner, he would show off his love in the company all the time.
Soon they arrived at the location of Li Moru’s movie audition. Because of Ye Luohan’s special status, Luo Lingxing and Ye Luohan went straight to the audition room without any obstacles, and did not need to wait outside with other artists who came to audition. “You’re here. Are you ready?” Li Moru greeted Ye Luohan and Luo Lingxing when he saw them, but his sharp eyes were secretly sizing up the two people in front of him.
Luo Lingxing auditioned for the role of Zhang Shan, while Ye Luohan auditioned for the role of Zhang Shang.
Ye Luohan was fine. He almost always delivered a stellar performance in any role he took on. The audition was just a formality for him. Moreover, the character Zhang Shang fit his usual image quite well, so grasping the role of Zhang Shang shouldn’t be difficult for him at all. Passing the audition was expected by everyone. Now, what everyone was really looking forward to is Luo Lingxing’s performance.
Zhang Shan’s early image was completely different from all the roles Luo Lingxing had played before, and it could even be said that it did not match Luo Lingxing’s current image. So it was a big challenge for Luo Lingxing. However, Luo Lingxing was not worried at all. In fact, during the audition, he played Zhang Shan so vividly that he was practically Zhang Shan alive. Everyone was stunned, and even the director was momentarily drawn into the scene.
“Great!” Li Moru exclaimed excitedly as he came to his senses.
To be honest, he invited Luo Lingxing to audition for the role of Zhang Shan because he thought Luo Lingxing had a good grasp of the character after seeing his previous performances. After all, Zhang Shan was a character with a lot of contrasts, which requires a very high level of acting skills from the actor. He had auditioned several actors before, but none of them could give him the Zhang Shan he wanted. Seeing Luo Lingxing’s performance today, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put at ease.
“That’s right. the role of Zhang Shan is yours,” Li Moru said to Luo Lingxing with a smile, then looked at Xiao Ming, “You can sign the contract now.”
Xiao Ming: …
The signing speed was too fast! No, the decision on the role was too fast. Others auditioned first, then notified the results and the signing time and place. But Director Li Moru not only made the decision on the spot, but also signed the contract directly, as if he was afraid the actor would regret it.
However, the other party was Li Moru. Who would be stupid enough to give up cooperating with Li Moru.
“Director Li, wait a minute. I have a few questions I’d like to discuss with you,” Luo Lingxing said.
“What’s the problem? Please speak.” Li Moru now found Luo Lingxing pleasing to the eye in every way, and was naturally in a good mood.
“I hope we can make some minor revisions to Acts 5, 12, and 31 of the script,” Luo Lingxing said calmly, showing no nervousness whatsoever when facing a popular director.
Li Moru’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. After the smile on his face disappeared, his eyes became even sharper. When he looked at this person, it was as if he was being threatened by a knife. However, Luo Lingxing did not feel anything. Or rather, this kind of aura was not enough to intimidate this great power who had lived for thousands of years.
Others might need to flip through the script to understand the content of these three scenes, but Li Moru had already memorized the script, so he quickly realized what these three scenes had in common: intimate scenes between the male and female leads.
“Give me a reasonable explanation,” Li Moru said, arms crossed.
Most of the staff present were from Li Moru’s team, and their eyes widened immediately. Their gazes towards Luo Lingxing filled with admiration.
When Luo Lingxing directly proposed revising the script, Director Li didn’t just walk away. He even seemed inclined to compromise. How could this not surprise them?
Others may not know, but they all do. In the past, when filming, there were always people who wanted to change the script or add scenes for themselves, but in the end, they were all kicked out of the crew by Director Li. After all, their crew had no shortage of actors who wanted to join. If they couldn’t film peacefully, they had no choice but to leave.
Therefore, few actors would consider revising the script afterward. It was surprising that someone who just finished auditioning and hadn’t even joined the crew dared to propose revising the script. Their courage was commendable.
“My partner will be jealous,” Luo Lingxing said calmly.
Staff member & Xiao Ming: …
Your partner would get jealous? Were they hearing it right? But why would his partner get jealous?
Everyone suddenly felt a sense of intellectual frustration, thinking, “I can understand each word individually, but why can’t I understand them when they’re put together?”
Some staff members, whose IQs were a bit slow but still somewhat online, hurriedly flipped through the script and found the scenes that Luo Lingxing had just mentioned. Upon seeing them, they realized what those scenes were and immediately understood what Luo Lingxing meant. Their gazes towards Luo Lingxing instantly became more affectionate.
Xiao Ming looked at Luo Lingxing in surprise. He had just gone to look at the script as well. He had thought that Ye Luohan would bring up these questions, but he didn’t expect that Luo Lingxing would bring them up on her own initiative. Looking at Ye Luohan’s expression, damn, did he have to be so smug? It really hit the heart of a single dog.
Sure enough, this shameless couple was still showing affection under these circumstances. He really wanted to kick them out.
The director didn’t expect Luo Lingxing to be so straightforward.
These days, there weren’t many actors who wouldn’t act in intimate scenes with other people to avoid upsetting their partners. Many celebrities felt that these were necessary sacrifices to gain greater fame and advance their careers. It was a sign of professionalism.
It was all bull! In fact, many intimate scenes in the drama could have been completed in post-production, but many celebrities still chose to do them themselves. Which often led to scandals and marital infidelity. To put it bluntly, it was because they couldn’t control themselves and couldn’t maintain their self-control that these things happen.
Luo Lingxing’s initiative improved his impression of him somewhat, however…
“What if I disagree?” Li Moru looked at Luo Lingxing calmly, waiting for his reaction.
The others also instantly held their breath, as if they were the ones awaiting their verdict.
“Then I can only express my regret and hope that there will be another opportunity to cooperate next time,” Luo Lingxing said calmly, with a faint smile on his face, showing no sign of regret.
What’s going on here? Was this his way of refusing to star in this movie? This was the male lead! This was a movie directed by Li Moru! Didn’t Luo Lingxing know that if he played the male lead in Li Moru’s movie, his popularity would definitely double? No star would refuse such an opportunity.
Xiao Ming: …
He felt he had to take back what he said earlier. The two people he brought with him were definitely not stupid. Yes, not stupid!
But he still wanted to say “Holy crap!” How could anyone be so stupid as to reject director Li Moru’s work at this time. Especially since it was the male lead and the second male lead? What were those two thinking?
Although Ye Luohan hadn’t made a statement yet, Xiao Ming knows without a doubt that if Luo Lingxing really didn’t act, Ye Luohan definitely wouldn’t act either.
Xiao Ming felt a sense of powerlessness. Perhaps only these two willful people would be so indifferent to Li Moru’s work. Working with such an artist, he really felt exhausted and disillusioned.
Before, with only Ye Luohan, he needed to strengthen his heart. Now, with Luo Lingxing added to the mix, he felt that unless he put an iron shell on his heart, it wouldn’t be enough to keep up with the two of them.
Regardless of what others were internally complaining about, or how shocked or incredulous their expressions were, Luo Lingxing remained calm throughout. As if he were not the protagonist of the matter, but rather an observer.
Ye Luohan, who had always been a background figure with a strong presence, walked to Luo Lingxing’s side, reached out and pulled him into his arms. His face, which was usually expressionless, was now unusually stoic, and instead he showed a super proud and bright smile, as if he was showing off to countless people: This is his Luoluo, who was even willing to give up a famous director’s film for him.
Holy crap, why do I feel like I’d been totally bombarded with dazzling affection?
Damn, so this was what my idol was really like! My idol, don’t leave after school, let’s have a good talk. I never knew my idol had this kind of style. Although they were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat just now, seeing their idol and Luoluo being so affectionate, they felt so lovey-dovey and cute. What should they do?
Since getting married, their idol had been relentlessly flaunting his love. Now, there was no turning back.
Male God, let go of Luoluo. I’m here!
Our little prince was so devoted! The person he liked was truly amazing, wasn’t? I’m even a little jealous of my idol. I really want a boyfriend like that too.
The staff in the audition room were all communicating silently with their eyes. Although they didn’t make a sound, the communication was surprisingly smooth.
“Haha… Well done, you’re worthy of being the actors I chose. However, the script can’t be changed, but you can film those scenes separately and have them composed in post-production,” Li Moru said with a laugh.
Ye Luohan was still slightly dissatisfied, but he knew this was the director’s final concession. As long as Luoluo didn’t have any overly intimate actions with the female lead, it would be fine. As for the final effect of the movie? At worst, they didn’t have to watch the movie again.
“Then thank you very much, Director.” Ye Luohan said, not feeling at all that it was an unreasonable request to prevent his partner from filming intimate scenes just because he was jealous. Luoluo was his partner, and he could only be intimate with him. Why should he be intimate with other women because of some external reasons?
Let alone a door, he wouldn’t even give him a window of a chance!
“Xiao Ming, go sign the contract,” Ye Luohan said to Xiao Ming again.
Xiao Ming didn’t want to make any expressions anymore. To avoid revealing his utter despair, he could only temporarily put on a blank face and then sign the filming contract with Li Moru.
“Apart from the lead actor, the other roles are almost ready. Filming will officially begin in about two weeks. There shouldn’t be any problem with the timing, right?” Li Moru asked.
Xiao Ming thought about their schedule and said, “No problem, we’ll be at the film set on time.”
Ye Luohan hadn’t taken on any work yet, so his schedule wasn’t a problem at all. Although Luo Lingxing had a signing event, it was only a week away and wouldn’t affect the filming of the drama.
“That’s good. See you then. I’m really looking forward to your performance,” Li Moru said with a smile.
“I won’t let you down, Director Li,” Luo Lingxing replied with a smile. With the most important thing resolved, everything else was secondary.
