Chapter 311: The first attack.
Ye Wanwan curled his lips, looked at the pale-faced Lin Hao then continued, "But he's an artist under director Zhou!"
"What's? I can turn off any artist that's under B-list?"
"Alright, thank you very much, chief Chu ..."
After hearing that, Lin Hao could not hold it in anymore and rushed over to Ye Bai. "Ye... Manager Ye! I'm wrong! I'm rash! I shouldn't have been rude to you! Please give me one more chance! I won't dare to be impolite next time!"
As Lin Hao panicked, he did not show the slightest hint of arrogance.
Ye Bai's phone call was like a hammer, making him realize instantly!
As his popularity increased after his show, many newcomers in the industry attempted to get closer to him to suck it up, and it got to his head. He forgot he was just a C-list artist.
On the other hand, Ye Bai was someone appointed by chairman Chu. Even Bin-ge had avoided trouble recently and did not dare to go against Ye Bai. Ye Bai had already consulted with chairman Chu, and Bin-ge was even willing to replace Lin Hao with Luo Chen yesterday. Today, Bin-ge could hand Lin Hao over completely to save himself.
I can really be turned off at any time!
Ye Wanwan forced a smile and looked straight into Lin Hao's eyes. "It's not me you should be apologizing for."
Lin Hao's face darkened as he clenched his fists tightly. Finally, he turned to Luo Chen and said, saying each word carefully, "Senior Luo Chen, forgive me. Please forgive me!"
After which, he immediately turned to Ye Wanwan anxiously. "Is that okay, Ye-ge? Please explain to Chairman Chu! I learned from my mistakes!"
Ye Wanwan was finally satisfied, so he took out his phone and placed it right in front of Lin Hao.
Everyone including Lin Hao looked at the contact directory on the screen - Ye Wanwan had not made any calls at all just now...
Lin Hao opened his mouth, dumbfounded, and he stared blankly at Ye Wanwan's phone. After he realized what had happened, his entire face was colored like a pig's heart.
*I.. I was fooled!!!
This fucking Adonis, he really fooled me like a monkey*!
Lin Hao's lungs were about to explode and he was about to curse, but his gaze met Ye Bai's icy eyes. "It's just a warning."
In other words, if Lin Hao dared to provoke Ye Bai again, he would actually call.
And if he really made that call...
With that thought, Lin Hao did not dare to let out a single sound. He walked away from the crowd and left in a huff.
After everyone saw the tactics of this new manager, none of them dared to protest and they immediately scattered like birds.
After all, compared to Lin Hao, they were even more insignificant.
Luo Chen looked around the suddenly empty film studio then looked at his manager who was still very relaxed. Luo Chen's shoulder still felt warmth from his touch...
He was already used to all this ridicule, but this was the first time someone had actually defended someone as worthless as him...
At this moment, after witnessing the attack from Ye Bai, this new manager who had just taken office, the cameraman was afraid that he would become the target of Ye Bai's second attack. He quickly wipes the cold sweat off his forehead and explains, "Sorry, Ye-ge, you made a promise yesterday but since this newcomer has an urgent need for publicity and needs to have their photos taken as soon as possible, I let them go first!"
Ye Bai seemed to have no intention of punishing him as he pulled up the chair, sat down and ordered, "Let's get started!"
"Good!" The cameraman heaved a sigh of relief and quickly told everyone to get ready. At the same time, Luo Chen was also taken to the dressing room to change clothes and be laid out.
Chapter 312: The classic takeback.
When Luo Chen walked out of the dressing room, everyone's eyes twinkled.
Previously, her hair was too long, so Luo Chen looked a little disheveled. Now, his black hair was short and his bangs had been trimmed, revealing a bright and full forehead and a pair of glittering eyes.
It was unlike the intentionally drawn, European, and thick double eyelids that looked dull and lifeless after the makeup was removed; the outer corner of Luo Chen's eyes tilted upwards. Like people in the past, her double eyelids were very natural and her thin lips were colored like cherry blossoms, making her look very kissable. The skin is perfectly smooth without a single pore being seen.
The clothes that Luo Chen was wearing were requested by Ye Wanwan; it was not too excessive. He wore a classic white collar top and the only design on it was a star embroidery on his collar. For the bottom, he wore black pants.
This look was neat and simple, matching Luo Chen's slightly cold and distant temperament. It was like a foolish yet hopeful figure in everyone's teenage memories.
No wonder Zhou Wen Bin did not want to hand Luo Chen over even after three years-Luo Chen was too pure and in the entertainment industry, this was very hard to come by.
Since he had not made any drastic changes for a long time, Luo Chen was a little uncomfortable with the staff and Ye Wanwan judged him.
"Ye-ge, what do you think? Is it okay?" the makeup artist asked.
"Not bad." Ye Wanwan nodded.
"Most importantly, Luo Chen has a good foundation—the skin is very soft and I don't need to do much." Although the makeup artist only said all this to lick, she was also earnest at the same time.
After so many years of being a makeup artist, she could easily tell with one look whether someone had undergone plastic surgery or not, and she was certain that this Luo Chen face was completely natural.
To be honest, Ye Bai did indeed have good taste— judging from Luo Chen's face, not many artists could compare to him. In all of Dazzling, only Gong Xu could truly match him.
At this time, the cameraman adjusts the lighting and walks towards them to ask, "Ye-ge, may I know what we're photographing today?"
"Recording the video," Ye Wanwan replied.
The cameraman assumed that he would take publicity photos for Luo Chen and was not prepared to record the video. He was a bit surprised when he asked, "Recording the video? About what?"
Luo Chen, who was standing at the side quietly, also turned to look out of curiosity.
Luo Chen looked at his phone and in the next second, he was completely stunned ...
That's the phrase from "The Terrible Dragon"...
*Remember...?
How could I not...
I remember every line of the Scary Dragon clearly, without a single word missing* ...
She is really passionate about acting and is happy to be able to take on the role of a different character.
When she acted in "The Scary Dragon", it was the happiest period of her life. During the three years after the show, the cast, crew members, and swordsmanship often appeared in his dreams.
It was the only precious memory he had since his debut.
"Remember .." Luo Chen replied with a trance.
"We're going to record this part today."
When Luo Chen heard that he was shuddering-they wanted him to re-enact this part again?
Ye Wanwan wasted no time. He leaned back on the chair and said directly, "If you don't have any problems, let's start right away. I'll give you three minutes to get into character."
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment before recovering his calm. He quickly made preparations while the cameraman hurriedly prepared his equipment.
Chapter 313: Training begins.
The lights and camera are ready. Luo Chen stood in front of the camera.
Ye Wanwan sat on the chair opposite him, waiting in silence.
Shortly after, three minutes passed.
Ye Wanwan: "Time's up."
A hint of panic flashed in Luo Chen's eyes as he spoke hurriedly, "It is a sin for me to be born, my entire life ..."
He might not be used to being in front of the camera anymore, and now Luo Chen was stuck after saying a single sentence alone.
Ye Wanwan furrowed his brows. "Again."
Luo Chen clenched his fists, took a deep breath and tried again.
"It is a sin for me to be born, my whole life is a sin .. everyone and I ..."
As he was about to continue, Ye Wanwan simply cut him off, "Your expression is too stiff. I want you to re-enact that scene, not recite the lines here. Again."
Luo Chen's face turned pale. He closed his eyes to calm down and then started again.
"I am..."
However this time, only two words managed to come out of his mouth before he was stuck again.
There was no color on Luo Chen's face anymore - he was as white as a piece of paper. "Sorry!"
Ye Wanwan had no expression on his face. "Again."
At the fourth take, Luo Chen still could not put any emotions into his acting.
Ye Wanwan shouted "cut" continuously. Luo Chen did not pass once after more than ten tries.
After the twentieth pick up and seeing Luo Chen's appearance go from bad to worse with each take, Ye Wanwan stopped tapping on the armrest of the chair and looked like his patience was thinning. There was no warmth on his face.
As if sensing the manager's unhappiness, the entire atmosphere in the film studio was suffocating; no one dared to breathe.
And under all the extremely anxious gazes from everyone, Luo Chen was drenched in sweat and his fists clenched tightly.
My ab* can't do it...
As expected, I can't do it* ...
Before, he was like a fish in water in front of a camera but now, he was like a fish in water, standing in front of the camera with everyone's eyes fixed on him made his entire body stiffen and shiver -- it was completely out of his control and he even started to develop a feeling of disdain towards himself.
Ye Wanwan naturally realized something was wrong with Luo Chen.
Not only did she feel in front of the camera disgusting, she also found herself disgusting.
Luo Chen in the past was very bright – he was confident in front of the camera as it was his main stage, his kingdom, but now, being in front of the camera was like being trapped in a cage. His entire body was bound by invisible chains.
He also noticed that Luo Chen seemed to hate his own face and continued to hide from the camera involuntarily.
Although she expected some of this behavior, Luo Chen's condition was worse than she had expected ...
Ye Wanwan slammed the table next to him suddenly with a loud "pa" voice and said coldly, "Your face is your greatest strength—this is a much missed gift. It was given to you by God to help you put food in your mouth! You hate bringing bad luck? Let me tell you, all the bad things that happen to you are not because of your face, but because you are weak and incompetent!
Meng Liang received the best actor award when she was about 18 years old. When her mother fell ill, she went MIA for six years then returned only when she was 24. However, he still managed to get another award as the best actor. Li Zhong Yi acted in supporting male roles for 30 years and got his first role as male lead only when he was 53 and soon became famous. Qiao Ke Xin was ridiculed since she debuted but she continued to swim against the current and was on the rise, showing no signs of weakness at all. Today, she was nominated for the Golden Orchid best actress award. You only lost three years of your life and were treated unfairly, yet you think that's the end of your life?"
With those words, Ye Wanwan's expression froze. "In a place like the entertainment industry, if you want to reach the top, you have to go through hundreds, maybe even a thousand times worse than this when under great pressure. If you're not strong enough then I'm so sorry, but I suggest you leave the entertainment industry immediately. I won't waste my time on artists who don't have any faith!"
