Sheng Wenxi listened from afar and was a little surprised that he had a good voice. He saw Ji Qingzhou smiling at the children, singing tenderly, then he asked the children in front of him at the end of the song, “Do you want to try playing the guitar?”
He had a smile on his face, but the depth of the smile and the feelings conveyed were different, gentle and peaceful when singing, and a very bright glow in his eyes when talking to the children. 38IaZc
It was really like Ah Heng, Sheng Wenxi thought, the early carefree Ah Heng who had a passion for love.
He waited for Ji Qingzhou to finish filming and watched as Zhou Chengfeng walked up to Ji Qingzhou and said something to him. Ji Qingzhou looked at him with slight surprise and nodded politely after meeting his gaze.
Sheng Wenxi smiled a little in response.
Because of Sheng Wenxi’s arrival, Zhou Chengfeng coordinated with director Wu to move Ji Qingzhou’s scene back a little. The moment Wu Hui saw Sheng Wenxi, he was surprised he came, but now he understood, he couldn’t help but feel that Ji Qingzhou was quite powerful. They were all in the same industry, of course he knew Sheng Wenxi, he also knew that he was extremely picky, his film didn’t accept back door deals, each candidate had to go through his audition. k2PEyt
Now, he specifically came to find Ji Qingzhou, he probably wanted to Ji Qingzhou to act in his film. Sure enough, all good directors had the same eyes on people. Wu Hui narcissistic ally thought and happily let Ji Qingzhou go.
Ji Qingzhou and Sheng Wenxi found a coffee shop nearby. Sheng Wenxi saw that the weather was fine today, so he didn’t want a private room, but sat by the window and basked in the sun.
Ji Qingzhou looked around, probably because this shooting location was relatively remote, and this cafe was relatively small, so at this time there was no one other than the two of them and the boss’s wife. Relieved, he sat down opposite Sheng Wenxi.
The owner’s wife brought over the menu for them to order, and Ji Qingzhou let Sheng Wenxi order the coffee he wanted first, before he ordered a cup of milk tea. He looked at Sheng Wenxi and wondered if he should speak first to show respect, so he politely spoke, “Hello, Director Sheng.” Ogp4NQ
“Director Sheng came to see me this time, is it about Ah Heng?”
Sheng Wenxi nodded, “Zhou Chengfeng sais that you’re not willing to play this role, can I hear your reasons?”
Ji Qingzhou thought about it and explained to him, “Ah heng’s late stage psychology is too depressing and painful, in the end, it ends in death, moreover, he likes men. So, I don’t want to take the role.” XCL6y2
Sheng Wenxi was puzzled, “You discriminate against homosexuals?”
“Of course not.” Ji Qingzhou said, he himself liked boys, how could he discriminate against same sex couples, just, it was just because he liked men, that was why he couldn’t act in such films.
He could do “A Page of Love Poem” and “Partridge Sky” because he didn’t like girls, so he wouldn’t have feelings for female actors even if he entered the scene. But Ah Heng liked men, he was afraid that when he got too deep into the scene, if he also had different feelings for the male actor who played Jiang Bin, then what?
When he was acting in “Broken Light”, he had once been very much in love with Lian Jingxing because of Lin Luoyang’s brotherly love for Lin Luofeng, and felt that he was like he was really his brother. And Ah Heng’s feelings for Jiang Bin were pre-fervent and straightforward, so pure that he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be affected. qEmlXG
“I’m just afraid I’ll get too deep into the drama. Many couples in the industry nowadays, didn’t they fall in love with each other while playing a couple?”
Sheng Wenxi didn’t expect him to have this kind of consideration, “You like boys?” He asked tentatively, “Otherwise how would you have such worries.”

Of course Ji Qingzhou wouldn’t expose himself in front of someone he wasn’t familiar with, so he only said, “If I get too deep into the drama, who knows what will happen?”
“Don’t you think you’re thinking a little too much? If you say so, wouldn’t you be unsuitable for acting, or else when you did ‘Partridge Sky’ before, you also had emotional scenes, weren’t you worried that you would like the female lead?” 6LGUKm
“In the general environment, even if I liked her, it is always less pressure to like a girl than to like a boy, isn’t it? What’s more, Shen Qiao’s feelings were not as impactful as Ah Heng’s, right?”
“So you want to stay in your comfort zone and not challenge your potential either, and just act in random scenes where the dramatic conflict isn’t that strong?”
“Honestly, I don’t have to risk what I know might happen for any movie.”
“Even if it gets you an award?” Sheng Wenxi emphasized, “You’ve read the script, so you should know that Ah Heng is the male lead, and if you do this drama, with any luck, you might win the next film award.” H67c9q
Ji Qingzhou smiled, “I’m an actor, actors want to win awards, especially movie stars, it’s just that the type of film that can win awards isn’t only one, isn’t it?”
“So you still don’t want to.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “I thank you for your appreciation and promotion, but I’m not suitable for this role, if you start making other films with other subjects next time, I am willing to participate, but this one, it isn’t suitable.”
Sheng Wenxi listened to his unassuming words and didn’t say anything. This was a situation that he rarely encounter after becoming famous. The entertainment industry was a very powerful industry, an industry where as long as you stood high, there were always people coming to flatter you. He had seen too many stars, famous, not famous, actors and non actors who would greet him politely and try to promote themselves to him. O36x7l
But now, the opportunity was in front of Ji Qingzhou, but Ji Qingzhou repeatedly refused, Sheng Wenxi on the one hand, felt that he refused because he was afraid of getting too deep into the scene, this reason was ridiculous, he wasn’t thinking about progress and he didn’t know how to work, so he couldn’t see; on the other hand, because of his repeated refusal and dissatisfaction, he developed rebellious and irritable emotions.
At this time, the boss lady came over and placed the drinks ordered by the two in front of them, and Ji Qingzhou politely thanked her. Sheng Wenxi didn’t say anything and silently looked at him.

“I think you’re wasting of your qualifications.” Sheng Wenxi said, “You are at your best age, the age when your acting skills are most agile, and you seek not to be aggressive, but conservative? If you know you can’t easily act, why don’t you practice more and find ways to overcome it? Or is your career plan for yourself to be an ordinary actor, popularity is enough? “ a1c5D8
His words were actually quite nonchalant, but Ji Qingzhou didn’t really like the way he spoke. Sheng Wenxi’s script was very good, and he himself was even more well-known, but the danger inside this script was too high, so dangerous that he didn’t want to touch it at all. If Ah Heng liked a woman, then Ji Qingzhou might still consider whether he could take it for an award, but since Ah Heng liked a man, then he definitely couldn’t take it.
He liked Chu Cheng, he didn’t want to like anyone other than Chu Cheng, even if it was one ten thousandth of the possibility, he wasn’t willing to. What was more, Ji Qingzhou took a sip of his milk tea, Chu Cheng wouldn’t let him accept the movie. He knew his new boyfriend too well, him watching him kiss and hug other men and doing more intimate things, he was afraid Chu Cheng would smash the screen of the cinema on the spot.
Ji Qingzhou thought of it and unknowingly smiled, Chu Cheng was very cute.
He put down his glass and said to Sheng Wenxi, “If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of one?” 2W17VC
Sheng Wenxi folded his arms and looked at him, without speaking.
The two people didn’t say more and returned to the set.
When Zhou Chengfeng saw that he had returned, he asked, “How was the talk?”
“Not good,” Ji Qingzhou replied truthfully, “I won’t take it, I told him the truth.” drtvfN
Zhou Chengfeng felt some regret, but this couldn’t be helped, Ji Qingzhou had long psychologically prepared for this, he also knew he would miss a lot of rare opportunities, the good thing was that there were still many award winning scripts, even if he gave up this one, with Ji Qingzhou’s age, he could always wait for the next one.
Ji Qingzhou thought it was over. However, during the evening scene, Xiao Qiao handed his mobile phone to him, Ji Qingzhou discovered that he and Sheng Wenxi had made it into the hot search list.
“What’s going on?” Ji Qingzhou didn’t understand.
“When you and director Sheng went to talk, it was photographed and posted. It didn’t take long for another blog to break the news that director Sheng was going to start a new movie, and looking at this, it’s likely that the male lead is you. These blogs are all posting it, so one person sent them, and those who followed him a camp started to posting. He has as much fans as you, and with the curiosity of people, isn’t it enough to reach the hot search list? “ PHbehx
Ji Qingzhou took Xiao Qiao’s mobile phone and read the comments on Weibo.
Sheng Wenxi’s fans cried out, “Are you going to shoot a new movie? What is it about? Why is it Ji Qingzhou? Isn’t his masterpiece the idol drama? It was an online drama, Wenxi, can you consider other people? “
Other passers-by said: Did he see his drama and want to cooperate? Ji Qingzhou is really lucky.
