Chapter 57 - 3.3

Behind the camera, Director Chen even held his breath.

At the door, Liao Yizhen frowned slightly. Jiang Jiamian's appearance actually gave him a strong impulse to go up and hug him and tell him that if the heroine wouldn't accept him, he would!

Liao Yizhen, who was so dominated by impulse, even took two steps forward and moved his arms slightly, as if he would open them in the next second, embrace the person, and whisper comfort.

Fortunately, he finally woke up at the last moment when he was about to raise his arm.

Jiang Jiamian is acting!

"Stop!"

Liao Yizhen shouted to stop the audition and took a breath to calm down.

Director Chen also came to his senses and asked, "Mr. Liao?"

He couldn't be dissatisfied, right?

After all, in previous auditions, even for starring roles, Mr. Liao never directly stopped it like this.

Jiang Jiamian's acting skills are not well received, but today's audition was particularly exciting.

"He is not suitable."

Liao Yizhen's words seemed to confirm Director Chen's guess.

Director Chen was stunned and said in confusion, "But his audition today is very good, not at all like what was said…" 

"I said it's not suitable."

Liao Yizhen interrupted mercilessly with a cold face. He listened to Director Chen's explanation, but his eyes fell on Jiang Jiamian from beginning to end.

Jiang Jiamian was also a little unhappy. He quickly recovered his composure, raised his legs, and walked towards Liao Yizhen. He stood half a step away from him with his arms crossed and looked at Liao Yizhen in a kind of confrontation. He said, "Excuse me, Mr. Liao, why are you dissatisfied with my audition? There must be a reason, right?"

If it was the original owner, maybe his acting skills were not very good.

But he is Jiang Jiamian!

He has been a fast traveler for countless years, playing various characters in countless small worlds for a lifetime!

How dare this person question his acting skills?

Why?

Just based on his status as a mere small-world actor?

Ha!

Liao Yizhen's face turned cold, "Because…"

Because he acted so well!

Subconsciously, he didn't want him to look at an actress with such affectionate eyes.

Liao Yizhen took a deep breath, suppressed the strong resistance, turned around, and walked out the door, "Come to the office with me to talk." 

Jiang Jiamian remained motionless, crossed his arms, and sneered, "Is there anything you can't say in public? Do you want to do something shady?"

Director Chen: "..." How about... He leaves?

Jiang Jiamian must have been emboldened by his ambition. A young actor who is not even a third-tier actor and is now covered in black material actually dares to talk to Mr. Liao like this?

And this is originally their Fengyu drama. To put it bluntly, if Mr. Liao thinks you can do it, you can do it. If Mr. Liao thinks you can't, then you can't. 

What more reason is needed?

Director Chen was thinking this and stood up with a wink. He cautiously said to Liao Yizhen's back, "Mr. Liao, I'll go out and you guys can talk." 

Liao Yizhen turned around and ignored Director Chen's words. He actually grabbed Jiang Jiamian's arm and dragged him away.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!"

Jiang Jiamian was dragged away by him, and became even more angry, "Mr. Liao is so majestic, and he went straight to arrest people!?"

No matter how reluctant and mocking Jiang Jiamian was, Liao Yizhen still forcefully pulled the person into his office. After closing the door and the lock, he released the person.

"Ha, why do you still want to use coercion and inducement?"

Jiang Jiamian sneered and rubbed the red and painful wrist that was caught by Liao Yizhen.

Liao Yizhen looked at the sofa by the wall. He faintly said one word, "Sit." 

Jiang Jiamian rolled his eyes gently, "I don't dare, ha!"

From the furnishings and position of the sofa, he could tell at a glance that it must be the seat reserved for this person.

"Sit down if I ask you to."

Liao Yizhen ignored Jiang Jiamian, turned around, and sat down on the guest sofa on the other side.

Jiang Jiamian twitched his lips and could only sit down in the main seat. He didn't want to really stand here as if he was being humiliated by Liao Yizhen.

"Let's talk, Mr. Liao… But do we have anything else to talk about?" Jiang Jiamian spread his hands, "No matter whether the result of my audition is good or bad, you have made it clear now that you don't want to use me."

He was dragged along by Liao Yizhen. Coming over, Jiang Jiamian still tried to think from Liao Yizhen's point of view.

He probably understands why Liao Yizhen doesn't use him.

In the final analysis, it is still the fault of the original owner.

No matter how hard he, Jiang Jiamian, tried in this audition, he couldn't resist the established reputation of the original owner for his unrequited acting skills, and the rumors that had been going on in the past two days.

As an investor and producer of this movie, it seems understandable that Liao Yizhen does not want to use him.

"It's not that I don't want to use you." Liao Yizhen rubbed his forehead. Jiang Jiamian seemed to have misunderstood him, "I just can't let you act in this drama. I have a better role for you."

Jiang Jiamian took a look. Liao Yizhen's serious expression didn't look like he was fooling him, so he calmed down a little, "What role?" 

Liao Yizhen saw that his face softened, and he couldn't help but curl his lips, "It's a protagonist. Much better than this supporting role. "

And there is no emotional scene, not even the heroine.

It's perfect for Jiang Jiamian!

"Oh? Will there be such a good thing?" Jiang Jiamian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Then what do I need to pay?"

The male supporting actor is replaced by the male protagonist?

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

What's more, the person sitting across from him is an actor and capital investor who has been in the entertainment industry for many years.

Seeing Jiang Jiamian raising his eyebrows and asking softly, Liao Yizhen, who had just subconsciously wanted to praise him, heard Jiang Jiamian's rhetorical question and felt his breathing suddenly become a little faster, and said hoarsely, "Fall in love with me."

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Jiang Jiamian almost choked on his own saliva because of his directness.

He really doubted that Liao Yizhen came up with the idea on the spur of the moment after hearing him ask!

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have asked!

Liao Yizhen saw that Jiang Jiamian suddenly coughed and his face turned red. He quickly stood up, walked a few steps to his side, raised his hand, and hit him on the back, "Jiang Jiamian, I'm serious."

Jiang Jiamian shook his hand, "No, please slow down for a while, this is too sudden."

Liao Yizhen nodded, did not speak anymore, and just patted him on the back gently.

In the silence, Liao Yizhen suddenly remembered something and frowned, "You…"

But Jiang Jiamian suddenly looked up at him, "You..."

Liao Yizhen's face suddenly became ugly for some reason, but he was still polite, "You speak first."

Jiang Jiamian asked, "Are you planning not to give me any role or any chance if I don't agree? Or maybe you will get angry and suppress me?"

Liao Yizhen: "..."

Isn't this the first time he met the other party?

Why was this Jiang Jiamian so strangely attracting to him, and why did he understand him so well?

"Ahem!" Liao Yizhen coughed lightly, "In principle, that's not the case."

Jiang Jiamian: "..." Haha, I'm sorry, your expression has given you away.

"Now it's my turn to ask."

Liao Yizhen's face was a little solemn, "In the past two days, it has been reported on the Internet that you were involved in He Lei and Ai Feng's affairs. You…" 

"Tsk." Jiang Jiamian suddenly interrupted him, "This, Mr. Liao, are we familiar with each other? If I remember correctly, we just met for the first time today, right? So what is your position in questioning me about this matter?" 

Liao Yizhen frowned and said in a deep voice, "I made it very clear just now. I want you to fall in love with me. As your boyfriend, I feel it is necessary to ask and to care." 

"Hey!"

Jiang Jiamian laughed directly. After speaking out, he slowly stood up, almost face to face with him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "But I also made it very clear, I have not promised to fall in love with you, Mr. Liao."

Liao Yizhen sneered, "So, you really like that Ai Feng?"

Jiang Jiamian: "..." If I don't agree to you, I must like Ai Feng. What kind of nonsense is this?

Jiang Jiamian couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Your understanding... is very, very good, very good!"

As he said this, he even pretended to applaud.

As for Ai Feng, the scumbag who rides on two boats and says 'you are my only one' to both of them, even the protagonist shou broke up with him, why is he still mentioned here?

Even the original owner couldn't let go at first, but later he became sober as time went by, okay?

It's a pity that the protagonist shou has been offended in the early stage, and the protagonist He Lei recognizes him as an enemy who has interfered in his feelings and openly provoked him, making him difficult to deal with at every turn.

So much so that the two of them had an indissoluble bond, and the original owner became a complete cannon fodder.

Liao Yizhen saw Jiang Jiamian's speechless expression and felt that it might not be what he said, but he was still angry, no, jealous, "Then what is going on between you and him? You and him…" 

When the question came to his lips, Liao Yizhen still used his last bit of reason to suppress it.

No matter how angry he was, he knew that, just like Jiang Jiamian said, they had just met and Jiang Jiamian had not agreed to him yet, so he was in no position to ask.

And once this question is asked, he and Jiang Jiamian will probably become enemies before they even begin.

Jiang Jiamian waved his hand, "I asked my manager to prepare for tomorrow's press conference. If you are curious, I don't mind if you come and listen." 

After saying that, Jiang Jiamian had no intention of staying any longer and walked away.

But as soon as he took a step, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Liao Yizhen, "You don't want the role anymore?"

Jiang Jiamian looked back at him with a smile, "Mr. Liao's words, can I translate it as love?"

Liao Yizhen suddenly chuckled, "You can understand it that way."

Jiang Jiamian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who only uses one sentence to fall in love? Isn't that too easy for you? Since you think so, then just pursue me and I will judge if you are sincere."
