"You really..."
Ye Qingzhou looked at Chu Ci's beautiful eyes with a slight smile on his lips, "As smart as ever."
Chu Ci feels that the word "as always" is a bit strange. He and Ye Qingzhou have known each other for only two days. Is using the word "as always" too firm?
But he didn't take it to heart. "So my guess is... correct?"
"Hmm."
Ye Qingzhou nodded. "Do you know why the third prince failed to ascend the throne in the end?"
"Because he is not interested in officialdom? Or he feels that the intrigues in officialdom are too tiring? Or maybe he wants to retreat to the mountains and forests with the woman he loves..."
Hearing the words "the happy woman", Ye Qingzhou's eyes became a little darker. He lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. "The third prince likes other than women."
Chu Ci:"!"
He felt that his thoughts were a little confused. "You mean... the third prince has a broken sleeve?!"
The word "broken sleeves" was taught to Chu Ci by Lele.
Ye Qingzhou's next words confirmed Chu Ci's guess just now. "Yes, he likes the fourth prince."
Chu Ci:"!"
Is it so exciting?!
It's exciting enough that the third prince likes men, but in the end, he actually likes his own... brother?
"Wait a minute, let me figure it out."
Chu Ci felt that his mind was a little confused. He raised his hand to interrupt Ye Qingzhou: "In other words, he doesn't want the throne because... he wants to give the throne to his lover?"
Ye Qingzhou was very satisfied with the title "lover". He nodded in agreement. "You can understand it that way."
"Then do you know who plays the fourth prince?"
Chu Ci has never acted before, and his knowledge of acting is still at the level of theoretical knowledge. If the fourth prince is played by a complete stranger... he doesn't know if he can express that kind of hidden emotion.
"Do you want to take this script?"
Ye Qingzhou did not directly answer Chu Ci's question. He raised a new question.
"Think so."
The original host had previously taken on small scripts with confusing plots and no good ideas, which is why it was labeled a "flower vase". However, the main line of this Machiavellian script is very good, and the plot is compact and interlocking. Basically, there will be a twist after three or four episodes. If the audience does not see the ending, they will never know who the final winner is.
So even if Chu Ci is not satisfied with the "emotional line" of the third prince, he is still willing to accept this script.
After listening to Chu Ci's words, Ye Qingzhou explained in a low voice, "If nothing else happens, the fourth prince will be me."
The name of this script is "Reign", and it was just handed to him by his agent today. The director of "Reign" is very famous in the circle, and the rating of this script has also reached S level, which means that as long as the actors don't hold back, the possibility of this script becoming popular is very high.
Ye Qingzhou is an actor who has become famous in the past two years. There is a famous saying in the entertainment industry - "If the traffic is not enough, look for Ye Qingzhou". This sentence does not come out of thin air, but has been tested in practice. After all, as long as the movies and TV series related to "Ye Qingzhou" will eventually achieve good ratings, the actors who work with him will also have a great chance of promotion.
Ye Qingzhou has a wide range of acting roles, including fantasy, martial arts, urban, suspense, conspiracy, and campus, so the first actor that most directors think of is him.
Ye Qingzhou was originally not interested in this script, until he saw the fine print on the character introduction, "The third prince has admired the fourth prince for a long time", and then he temporarily changed his mind.
He didn't have much requirements for the salary. The only requirement was that "the role of the third prince must be designated by him." The director thought that the person chosen by Ye Qingzhou would not be far behind, so he accepted his proposal.
When Ye Qingzhou printed the script, he deliberately deleted the line "The third prince has been in love with the fourth prince for a long time." This means that the script he gave to Chu Ci did not clearly indicate the emotional scene.
"... Huh?"
It seems that he didn't expect that the so-called "Fourth Prince" was right in front of him. Chu Ci's thoughts were in a daze for a few seconds. "So you are the actor who plays the Fourth Prince?"
Chu Ci originally thought it would be very difficult to perform "secret love", "hesitancy", "embarrassment", "sadness" and "deep love" for the fourth prince. But when he learned that the fourth prince was played by Ye Qingzhou, he suddenly felt that it was not so difficult.
"Hmm."
Ye Qingzhou nodded. "If you don't want me to play the role of the fourth prince, I can also..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Ci: "How could it be? Only when the third prince has a crush on someone like you, would I think he is a discerning person..."
Although he knew that Chu Ci's words were polite, the corners of Ye Qingzhou's lips couldn't help but rise a little.
"Then let me take you to meet the director?"
"Okay."
Chu Ci smiled and nodded, "Ye Qingzhou, you have helped me so much in a row, how should I thank you?"
"This is what I should do."
Ye Qingzhou spoke too quietly, and Chu Ci didn't hear it clearly. He wondered, "... What did you just say?"
"Nothing."
Hearing this, Chu Ci did not ask further questions.
He and his grandma didn't bring much with them, so they tidied up the things in the room in about an hour.
"Grandma, I have to go out for something."
Chu Ci made an appointment with Ye Qingzhou to meet the director together, "I have prepared a meal for you. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, remember to call me at any time..."
He gave some gentle instructions before leaving home.
"Is this the person you recommend?"
The director was slightly stunned when he saw Ye Qingzhou coming in with Chu Ci.
He had seen the Weibo hot searches more or less during this period, and he also knew that most of the hot searches were about "Ye Qingzhou and Chu Ci". However, the director did not take this matter to heart. After all, most of the hot searches in the entertainment industry were true and false. Miscellaneous, it is a means used by celebrities to gain traffic and popularity. He thought it was a means of deliberate hype by "Chu Ci". Now that he saw Ye Qingzhou bringing Chu Ci in... the director realized that the relationship between the two seemed to be really good?
"Yes."
Ye Qingzhou nodded.
"This..."
The director's expression showed some embarrassment.
He originally thought that the stars who could make friends with Ye Qingzhou were all capable actors, so he agreed to Ye Qingzhou without hesitation. Unfortunately, the director failed to calculate that the candidate recommended by Ye Qingzhou turned out to be Chu Ci.
A vase with only beauty and no acting skills.
