The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man
âPlundering timeâ is a commercial film with literary and artistic flavour. There are three main characters in the film, male lead Li Haiyang, second male Luo Yi, and villain Zhao Heng.
Shen Qingshu auditioned for the role of Luo Yi.
In fact, the part of this character is not as much as that of villain Zhao Heng, but due to the significance of the character and the love of the director, he was able to tie with Zhao Heng as the second male.
Before Shen Qingshu left, Zhou Jianming specially contacted director Zheng and wanted to ask him if he had an audition script.
As a result, director Zheng said, âwait until you come.â
âThey will test your improvisation skills and adaptability.â Zhou Jianming informed Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu nodded, but didnât care much.
He has always had a good mentality towards his work, since he was lucky to have a second chance after he lost his life. Now that he has become popular, sooner or later good scripts will be handed over one after another in, so even if the audition is not successful, it will not have a great impact.
Therefore, Shen Qingshu took a bath, put on comfortable clothes and lay in the quilt calmly. He appeared in front of director Zheng the next day full of energy.
It was March, the weather had just warmed up. Shen Qingshu was casual as he wore a thick white sweater with jeans and sneakers.
He had a handsome appearance. When he wore it, he looked younger, as if he were a student who had not left the campus.
Director Zheng looked at him carefully and Shen Qingshu let him observe generously.
His foundation is really good. Even if he doesnâtspecially put on makeup, no imperfections could be seen. On the contrary, it shows that he is as natural as lotus in clear water.
Director Zheng had interviewed several actors about his age before, so he didnât expect much from him. If it werenât for Meng Zhiâs recommendation, he wouldnât have given Shen Qingshu the opportunity to audition at all.
But now, he looked at Shen Qingshu standing in front of him, tall and straight, clean and thorough, with his eyebrows full of sunshine and youth. He had to admit that Shen Qingshu was indeed the best and most suitable one among the candidates who auditioned for Luo Yi.
Zheng asked his assistant to pass the audition script to Shen Qingshu. Shen Qingshu took it, read through it and soon memorised it.
This performance is not difficult. It is one of the scenes of Luo Yi and Li Haiyang getting along.
The young man was proud and smiled brightly. Even though he had put on his police uniform, he was still young and lively when walking beside his master.
He said, âDonât worry, master. Evil cannot win against justice.â
He pointed to his head. âI stored all the information in my mind. Donât worry.â
He walked backwards, his hands behind his back and hummed a happy song in his mouth. He clearly had a ahead of him, but he slept forever at the age of 23.
Zheng Dao looked at Shen Qingshu who tilted his head. A smile could be seen on his slightly inclined face. His eyes were full of light, just like summer. He turned his head gently and the sun shone on him.
Zheng Dao is inexplicably sad. He is not sad about his performance, but sad about his death.
The more dazzling, the heavier the sadness.
He thinks Meng Zhi is right. Shen Qingshu is really suitable for the role of Luo Yi.
âGo back first and Iâll contact your agent.â Director Zheng informed him.
âYes.â Shen Qingshu bowed respectfully to him.
Meng Zhi waited until he left before slowly opening his mouth, âhow about it? Isnât he suitable?â
âYou have good vision.â Director Zheng squinted at him.
âOf course.â Meng Zhi smiled. âHis acting skills are also good, or is he acting in his true colours? There was almost no trace of acting in the scene just now.â
Director Zheng also thinks so. His age is similar to that of Luo Yi and he obviously hasnât suffered. He is full of sunshine, so his state is really like that of Luo Yi.
âHas he been quite popular lately?â
âYes, youâd better sign a contract with him quickly if you want to make it into his schedule. Otherwise, he may no longer be available.â
âFor my movie? Even if there is no free time, he will come.â Director Zheng is very confident.
Meng Zhi smiled and said nothing.
Shen Qingshu heard the signing news from Zhou Jianming the next day, âGreat, Qingshu, director Zheng asked me to sign the contract in the next few days.â
âVery good, then you go.â Shen Qingshu said.
âWell, now I donât have to worry about the next script.â Zhou Jianming said happily.
However, some people are happy, others are unhappy.
Han Cheng knew that he had succeeded in the audition and his mood was instantly not so wonderful. âDid you pick up a script again?â
Shen Qingshu nodded. âWork is like this, endless.â
Han Cheng: â¦
Han Cheng nodded helplessly in resignation to his fate: âOkay, then Iâll visit you often when the time comes.â
âEn.â Shen Qingshu responded.
He took the script here and was ready to speed up the completion of his campus novel, which is expected to be completed during the Spring Festival. Unfortunately, he overestimated his hand speed and finally reached the last few plots in March.
Fortunately, there are not many chapters left. Shen Qingshu made a schedule for himself, clocked in every day and finally finished the following story within a week.
His readers were reluctant to part, and the Car God sent a private message. He asked: [When will the next book open? Of QingQing and Chenghan?]
Shen Qingshu: â¦
Shen Qingshu felt that he really wanted to see Su Qing and Cheng Han live three lives!
But he hasnât derided yet.
To be honest, his first book was based on the current hot genres. His second book is a campus romance with the intention to sell copyrights. In fact, the writing purpose of both books is not simple, so Shen Qingshu wants to think about it and write something he really wants to write.
Drunkenly looking at the sword under lamp light: [I havenât thought about it yet. I guess I have to take a break before starting the next novel.]
Seeing his news, Han Cheng understood it well. He is much more popular now than before and his working hours are much longer, he has less rest time to write.
He didnât rush him either, but said: [then you have a good rest. Your health is the most important.]
Shen Qingshu replied happily: [En, thank you for your understanding.]
Car Shen: [Youâre welcome.]
In this way, the busy days passed and âSouthern Roseâ finally passed reviews in late March and officially started broadcasting.
Shen Qingshu also made many announcements and advertised the TV series with the crew.
During this period of time, his popularity soared so fast that Su Luo was embarrassed to face him again. Sun Xuan was full of jealousy and wanted to replace him.
Shen Qingshu didnât want to talk to them when he wasnât popular before. Now heâs popular, he basically treated them like air.
Director Li was very happy to see him again and talked to him for a long time.
Seeing this, Bai Xuege said to him, âyou are popular, and the whole crew is happy, except Su Luo and Sun Xuan.â
âUnfortunately, itâs no use for them to be unhappy.â
Bai Xuege instantly laughed and patted his shoulder, âYour popularity exploded.â
âPartly due to good luck.â Shen Qingshu said modestly.
Bai Xuege doesnât think so, when he was not yet popular, he did all the preparatory work before joining the crew. It can be seen that he has worked hard in places others canât see.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. With his appearance and willingness to work hard, there is only one outcome.
The time will come, if not now then later.
âWhat are you going to do next?â Bai Xuege asked him.
âI auditioned for director Zhengâs film a while ago. I should enter the group in April or may.â
âThatâs good.â Bai Xuege encouraged him, âdirector Zheng is a well-known director. Itâs also a good thing that you can cooperate with him. Come on.â
Shen Qingshu looked at his childish face. He always felt that it was amusing to be told by a child with âcome on.â So he asked, âWhat about you? What are you going to do next?â
âI have a movie, too.â Bai Xuege said, âThe shooting should also be around April or may. The script is pretty good, Qin jie wants me to win an award.â
âThen come on, too.â
âLetâs work hard together.â Bai Xuege patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be mature and sighed.
Shen Qingshu laughed and thought he was cute.
As they were chatting, they heard the staff say they should go on stage. Then they quickly helped each other check their clothes and followed the staff onto the stage.
The host looked at the two of them and said, âtoday is really a visual feast. Our male number one and number two are so handsome.â
The fans at the bottom immediately screamed.
The host smiled and asked them a few questions, then drew the audience to ask questions.
The audience, who didnât know where they got it from, opened their mouths and said, âWe all know Qingqing, you can speak very well. Can you tell us? Have you ever taught Xiao Baiâs didi in the crew? Will Xiao Bai didi listen to you?â
Shen Qingshuâs fans were killed in an instant.
Bai Xuegeâs fans are also speechless and think this is simply on purpose.
Shen Qingshu is very calm, and the smile on his face is as warm as ever. âTeacher Xiao Bai started earlier than me and has more acting experience. Naturally, only he gives me lessons. How dare I give him lessons.â
The host quickly laughed and wanted to change the topic, but Bai Xuege opened his mouth first.
âEveryone acts differently in front of different people and on different occasions. The debate field is not a place for silence, so he works hard and conveys his thoughts, which is his dedication. But in normal times, compared to the debating Shen Qingshu This person actually likes to talk about stand up comedy more, and I quite like listening to him talk. Listening to other people doing stand up comedy requires a fee. But when listening to Shen Qingshu doing stand up comedy he not only doesnât want money, but also provides me with melon seeds for free.â
The audience laughed and even Shen Qingshu was amused by his words.
The host said with a smile, âReally? Iâd like to hear Qingshu perform stand up comedy for us on the spot.â
Shen Qingshu quickly refused, âForget it, I have to record âcome and listen to meâ later, so let me talk less now. Iâve been talking too much lately and I had to moisten my throat before I came on stage.â
Everyone couldnât help laughing again.
After the press conference, Shen Qingshu and Bai Xuege went on the hot search.
Some people even started a CP for them. The name has also been chosen, they are called QingBai.
âQing Qing and Xiao Bai must have a good relationship, so Xiao Bai couldnât help becoming cheeky on stage.â
âItâs so sweet. Qing Qing calls Xiao Bai, Teacher Xiao Bai, so cute.â
â Bai Xuege is not yet an adult, isnât it bad?â
âWhat do you know? This is friendship!â
âYes, what weâre shipping friendship and family affection. Do you know the story of the green and white snakes? Good brothers!â
Han Cheng: â¦
Han Cheng crankily shook his head. He felt that the melon seed eating masses deserve their reputation with their ability to crack melon seeds?!
Canât they eat what they should? For example, he is the only official match!
Alas, Han Cheng has some helplessness, this is one of the reasons why he didnât want Shen Qingshu to be a star â itâs too easy to get involved with others.
Such an eyesore!
After browsing weibo, he saw Shen Qingshu sitting upright on the sofa, so he came up to him, âYour drama is about to start?â
Shen Qingshu nodded and handed him an orange. âItâll start in a minute.â
âThatâs why youâve been busy lately.â
âRight?â Shen Qingshu leaned on his shoulder. âI have to rush to promote recently and record âCome and listen to me â. I feel I donât have time to rest.â
Han Cheng touched his head and hugged him. He wanted Shen Qingshu to accompany him before entering the crew. It seems that there is no hope.
Depressed, he lowered his head to peel the orange. As soon as he finished peeling the orange, Shen Qingshu opened his mouth to him, âah.â
Han Cheng: â¦
Han Cheng divided the orange into two, broke off two sections and stuffed them into his mouth, âYouâre so lazy.â
Shen Qingshu leaned on his shoulder with a smile, âYouâre the best ~â
âHow can I not be the best. I serve you like a young master every day. Can you find a second person like me?â
Shen Qingshu nodded hurriedly and held his hand. âYou are the only one, you are the best.â
Han Cheng snorted and ate sections of orange himself.
Shen Qingshu opens his mouth again and Han Cheng has to feed him while eating.
As he was feeding, the opening song of âSouthern Roseâ rang â the drama began.
Shen Qingshu quickly swallowed the orange in his mouth and concentrated on watching TV.
Han Cheng also watched attentively.
It has to be said that director Liâs shooting technique is really beautiful and each frame is like art.
The scene of Shen Qingshu turning back in front of the rose bushes was selected as part of the opening song, accompanied by the female singerâs low singing, which seems to encompass feelings of friendship.
âYou look good on camera.â Han Cheng boasted.
Shen Qingshu felt the same way. He leaned on Han Cheng again and watched TV with him.
The show starts with Li Xiwei, played by Su Luo, being late. She stands in the corridor outside the classroom and sees Jiang Nan, played by Bai Xuege, who is also punished for being late. She looks curiously and sees Jiang Nan sitting down and sleeping with his head tilted. Li Xiwei is shocked and silently observes him through morning self study.
The plot of the first two episodes was very fast. In just two episodes, Li Xiwei and Jiang Nan became deskmates for various reasons.
Li Xiwei dislikes that he doesnât study hard, while Jiang Nan dislikes that she only knows how to study.
Two people fight in class and after class, which leads to a lot of comedic moments.
In fact, the plot of this part has not been changed much, it is almost the same as that in the book. It can be regarded as a restoration of the original work. Therefore, the book fans are very satisfied. The audience who have not read the book also think the drama is well made and there are people who are chasing the drama.
In the third and fourth episodes broadcast the next day, Shen Qingshu finally appeared.
He played Li Xiweiâs neighbour gege in the play and was adored by her from childhood. He had a good relationship with her. In his spare time he will help Li Xiwei with her homework and listen to her complaints about Jiang Nan.
No one dislikes the gentle and tolerant character design, so as soon as Shen Qingshuâs role appeared, his fans actively sold Amway.
He has been popular recently and many people are interested in him. Many people went to watch the drama with a curious attitude, and they all became drama fans after they came back.
The drama has been broadcast for three days, all the key characters have appeared, the tone has been preliminarily set. Allowing fans to finally put down their uneasy hearts.
âAs long as we keep this rhythm, the drama will explode.â
âThere is already a trend of the drama exploding. For three consecutive days, the ratings have been rising steadily. People say itâs superb and everyone around me is chasing it.â
âYes, several forums I visited these days are also chasing the play, they say the rhythm and plot are really great.â
âNot just the rhythm and the plot, the beauty is real. How did the crew manage to bring Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu together? Iâm so envious of Su Luo, okay?â
âAlthough Shen Qingshu was not popular when he was filming, he is getting better and better [Covers face].â
âThe crew is also super lucky. Before the drama was broadcast, Shen Qingshu became popular. So amazing.â
âDonât mention it, they are all fictitious characters. So why is only Qiu Jia, not a handsome man? Do you think our Qiu Jia is undeserving? Why did you find a greasy man like Sun Xuan to play him!â
Everyone laughed and comforted, âThereâs no way. Itâs really difficult to find an all handsome cast.â
âWoo woo.â Qiu Jiafen fans cried louder.
Shen Qingshu looks at the praise on the forum and rolls happily in the quilt.
After all, this is his first work, so he puts great importance on it. For actors, their work will always be what represents them. Only when your works are liked by everyone will you be liked by everyone and have the opportunity to create more and better works.
âSouthern Roseâ is his first work, so he instinctively hopes that the drama can get a good evaluation.
âThank goodness.â Shen Qingshu said happily.
Han Cheng and an associate finished dinner, saw each other off at the door of the teahouse and turned to get in his car.
Todayâs associate doesnât like drinking. He is a tea lover, so Han Cheng doesnât have to drink with him. He just needs to watch the tea ceremony with the customer and taste a pot of tea.
The night breeze is gentle, and Han Cheng is driving with a leisurely mood.
He looked at his watch, it was over nine oâclock. Shen Qingshu should still be awake. He was probably still surfing the Internet and brushing the forum.
These days, his TV drama has just aired. Shen Qingshu goes to the forum every night to see the audienceâs evaluation of him and the drama. When they praise him, he rolls happily and when they scold him, he rolls angrily.
Han Cheng thought he was so cute. When he saw him looking up posts about himself, sometimes he couldnât help it and pulled someone into his arms and kissed him.
When he thought about it, he couldnât help driving faster. Like wanting to go back early and do something a driver should do before it gets too late.
Han Cheng stopped at the red light.
While waiting for the red light, he looked bored out of the window. This time, he saw some not so good scenes.
ââOn the sidewalk not far away, two men were pulling a thin looking man. The person who was pulled didnât seem willing. He struggled several times, but he couldnât break free and continuously pulled forward staggeringly.
Han Cheng saw that the other party attempted to free his arms, but was half hugged by the opponent. Under the light, only the other partyâs frowning and resisting could be seen.
Han Cheng gently turned the steering wheel, turned the corner and drove along the sidewalk
