Chapter 46 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
Chapter 46 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
In room 520, Yan Danchen tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She missed her little wild horse terribly. What was she going to do? She was going to finish filming in a few days. If things continued like this, it would be terrible.
I drew back the curtains and heard howling winds and torrential rain outside. The weather in the south is really bad; it changes in an instant.
It's already hard to fall asleep without my little wild horse around, and with all this noise outside, it's really annoying.
Chen Wenbo opened the door to room 338, glanced back at the two bodies, one immortal and one mortal, lying motionless at the foot of the bed, closed the door, and quickly returned to the fifth floor. Mortals are useless, so it's one thing, but even adding a god doesn't help.
I don't know what use the magic power I gained in this battle will be, but it permanently increased my sense of immersion in the performance by 30%. I really didn't expect the increase to be so small, even though it was double!
Fortunately, it's a permanent upgrade and won't diminish. I wonder if the system thinks that foreign fairies are difficult to completely purify.
Yan Danchen looked at the time on her phone and it was almost 10:30. Why hadn't Xiao Yema come back yet? She was worried that he might have drunk too much at the dinner party.
Just as I was about to make a call to ask, there was a knock on the door.
"Why have you been drinking?"
Yan Danchen opened the door and smelled a faint smell of alcohol. She quickly helped Xiao Yema inside. Why was he drinking alcohol while having a late-night snack? It's really worrying.
"I couldn't refuse their hospitality, so I had a little."
Chen Wenbo went straight into the bathroom as soon as he entered the room. After thinking for a moment, he decided to take off his clothes and throw them into the sink. He didn't know if he had picked up any scents of immortals or mortals, so it was better to be safe.
"Hey, quickly wrap yourself in a towel. The air conditioning is on in the room, be careful not to catch a cold."
Yan Danchen hurriedly grabbed a bath towel and draped it over Xiao Yema. Feeling hot after drinking alcohol was just a superficial feeling.
"Sister Chen, you know how healthy I am."
"No matter how healthy you are, don't overdo it. Let's play a game later and see if you still dare to say you're healthy."
"What game?"
"Is this going to be another game of rock-paper-scissors?" Chen Wenbo looked at himself, completely naked, and thought, "There's no need for that."
"Come with me."
Chen Wenbo was pulled onto the bed by the fairy Chang'e and sat cross-legged as instructed.
Yan Danchen smiled and sat cross-legged in the little wild horse's lap, tilting her head back and saying, "Since you say you have good stamina, then hold me and spin around like this, like a roly-poly toy that can't fall over."
The young woman knew how to play the game. Chen Wenbo locked the door first, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Chen, you've got it figured out. There's no way you'll make me fall like that."
Yan Danchen was completely disoriented from being spun around. "Alright, alright, Wenbo, I admit you're amazing."
"What did you call me? Looks like you still don't think I'm impressive enough."
"Good brother~"
Nothing more was said that night...
The morning sun was exceptionally bright, and Yan Danchen dreamed of galloping across the vast grasslands, and all the pent-up emotions in her heart over the years dissipated.
"Wenbo, what are your plans after you finish filming this drama? I heard CCTV is going to start filming another drama, with the same team behind 'The Lotus Lantern.' Do you want to give it a try?"
"Really? Wasn't 'Lotus Lantern' supposed to wrap up filming at the end of the month? Are you already moving on to the next one so soon?"
Chen Wenbo tried to recall, but had no recollection of it and had no idea what kind of drama CCTV was going to produce next.
"Yes, I heard from Producer Li that it's also a mythological drama. The lead actors have already been cast. Wenbo, you can try out for a guest appearance."
Yan Danchen was a little disappointed. Producer Li said that not only was her temperament unsuitable for the lead role, but she was also unsuitable for supporting roles.
"Oh, who's the lead actor?"
"You know Liu Tao, right? He played A'Zhu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wenbo immediately remembered what drama it was: the flop drama "The Legend of the White Snake," whose ratings were far inferior to "The Lotus Lantern."
So what if he falls flat on his face? He still wanted to see what it really meant to be a goose.
The day before yesterday, Director Cao accepted three packs of Liqun cigarettes from him, saying that he would call him if there was an opportunity. He clearly has resources at his disposal. He might not be able to guarantee a supporting role, but a featured role is definitely not a problem.
It seems that one has to fight for a role. Knowing and doing are one, Chen Wenbo quickly finished the fight, and after washing up, the two headed to the Lotus Lantern film crew.
There are no scenes for him on the set of Chinese Paladin today, and there has been no notification of reshoots, so there's no need to rush to the set. However, basic manners should still be observed.
Chen Wenbo called Director Yang on the way and asked for an hour or so off, thinking that he had plenty of time to meet Director Cao.
Ding!
"Wenbo, I've prepared breakfast. Come to the car when you arrive at the film set."
"Sister Li, I need to go to the Lotus Lantern film set for an audition. I'll be back later."
Chen Wenbo shook his head and put away his phone. This great demon is really virtuous; it seems she really did eat her fill yesterday afternoon.
……
Good morning, Director Cao.
Chen Wenbo respectfully opened a whole pack of Liqun cigarettes and handed it over.
"Young man, it's you. Why didn't you come to the set yesterday? There are still some roles available for you to play."
Cao Junhua chuckled as he put away the Liqun cigarettes. "This kid is really sensible."
"You're really efficient at taking back cigarettes," Chen Wenbo said with a smile, handing Director Cao another pack of Liqun cigarettes. "I ran into the crew of the Legend of Sword and Fairy next door the night before last and did an audition there."
"Chen Wenbo, what brings you here?"
When Shu Chang saw the person next to the assistant director, she thought she was hallucinating because she was thinking about the handsome guy. She rubbed her eyes and realized it was real.
"Changchang, let me see if there are any roles I can audition for."
Shu Chang ran up to her and chattered, "Aren't you doing a special appearance over there? Yi Fei praised you to me for ages last night."
Cao Junhua was completely baffled. This kid had a cameo role in the Legend of Sword and Fairy drama yesterday? Wasn't he just a background character the day before yesterday? His acting was quite mediocre. Could it be that Cai Yinong had taken a liking to this kid?
"You've already landed a guest role?"
Chen Wenbo scratched his head, pretending to be naive, "After yesterday's audition, Producer Cai said that my temperament was very suitable, so he gave me a special role."
Cao Junhua looked incredulous. This kid was indeed handsome and sensible, but how could one simply have the right temperament for a role?
"Really? I happen to have a few roles available for you to audition for."
Chen Wenbo was taken aback. Was this the opportunity that had come?
He just received the award for immersive acting last night, although it wasn't much. This morning he made up for it by improving his character fit. Director Cao is practically handing him a free lunch.
"Thank you, Director Cao."
The group headed to the dressing room. Cao Junhua was certain that this kid had caught the eye of Cai Yinong. Apart from being handsome, he didn't seem to have any charisma the day before yesterday, and his acting skills were just average.
But if you accept something, you have to do it; that's the code of conduct. If you've given someone an opportunity, and they don't do it, you can't blame them for not doing it.
As requested by Director Cao, Chen Wenbo put on a white robe. It was unclear whether it was Liu Yanchang's robe or not. What role was he auditioning for?
"this……"
Cao Junhua's eyes widened in disbelief. This guy was even more like Liu Yanchang than Liu Yanchang himself; at first glance, he conjured up the image of a poor scholar from ancient times.
"Director Cao?"
Chen Wenbo noticed the assistant director's blank expression and wondered what it meant by not saying anything after all that.
Cao Junhua pointed to the Heavenly Soldier Armor on the side, "Try that one too."
Completely baffled, Chen Wenbo had no idea what Director Cao meant, but as the saying goes, one has to bow one's head under the eaves, so he had no choice but to obediently follow orders.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
