I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 212 Who are you calling a slut?

"The Great Wu Emperor, isn't that the lead role? I just want to play a minor role..." Before Chen Wei could finish speaking, Xiao Ruoyun hurriedly pulled him aside.

"What are you doing?" Chen Wei asked, puzzled.

"What am I doing? I want to ask you what you want to do. The Great Wu Emperor, male lead, male lead, do you not understand these words? You actually said that I just want to play a minor role. What minor role? A passerby?" Xiao Ruoyun glanced at him, speechless.

"The male lead must spend a lot of time on set..."

"Is your time that valuable? You get hundreds of thousands per episode, which is equivalent to three or four years' salary for many people. You can earn that in just a few days, and you're still not satisfied? I really don't know what you're thinking?"

Xiao Ruoyun earnestly advised, "Let me tell you, the investors behind the drama 'The Great Wu Emperor' are very powerful. If you perform well, and with their support in operations, signing with a large company, earning over 100 million a year is definitely not a problem. This kind of opportunity doesn't come around every day."

Earning over 100 million annually...

Chen Wei really wanted to say, why work hard for a year when you can do something in half a day by just lying down and doing nothing?
But I doubt Xiao Ruoyun would believe me even if I told her, and she wouldn't bother wasting my breath.

"Let's go, make big money, eat well and drink well!" Xiao Ruoyun led Chen Wei back to the staff and said, "My older brother said he's willing to play the role of Emperor Wu of Han."

Chen Wei knew why Xiao Ruoyun was so nervous. Her current position was that of a bundled sales arrangement. If he withdrew, the production team wouldn't want her either, and would kick her out in a heartbeat.

"Okay, come with me to see the director." The staff member stood up and led the way, letting someone take over for him.

Before leaving, Xiao Ruoyun turned back and gave the man she had just argued with a smug smile, "Heh."

"……"man.

"Brother, don't take it too hard. You're new here and don't know the situation, right? That guy is quite famous in Tiandi Film City." At this moment, someone patted the man on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Very famous?" the man asked, puzzled. "Tell me about it."

After hearing this, he exclaimed in disbelief, "What! He actually rejected Director Liang Wen's offer to act in his film?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Director Liang begged him several times before he reluctantly agreed to play the male lead."

"Is he really that good? Director Liang shouldn't be such a superficial person, right? Would he judge someone by their looks?" the man pressed.

"I was skeptical at first, until I went to their film set and saw that guy's performance..." The young man deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"How is it? Is it terrible?" the man asked anxiously.

"Let me put it this way, sooner or later you will see him at the Best Actor awards ceremony, and that will be his first time acting. Talent is something to be envied..." the young man sighed.

"Who says otherwise? Hehe."

……

"Director Wu, I've found the perfect actor for the role of Emperor Wu!" The staff member brought Chen Wei and Xiao Ruoyun to the director, unable to hide his excitement.

"Wu Chun, the great director Wu Chun! The total box office exceeds 10 billion!" Xiao Ruoyun excitedly shook Chen Wei's arm.

Wu Chun's reputation in the directing circle is almost on par with Liang Wen's, but the two have completely different styles. One follows the commercial blockbuster model and aims for box office success, while the other focuses on artistic and refreshing films and seeks critical acclaim.

"Xiao Liu, how many times have you said this to me?" After several disappointments, Wu Chun no longer held the same expectations as before.

"Director Wu, there will be absolutely no problem this time. You will definitely be satisfied," Liu Yi assured him confidently.

"Then I'll trust you one more time. If it really doesn't work, we'll just go with the investors and find any big-name star." Wu Chun had a "what's the use" attitude; finding a lead actor he liked was indeed too difficult.

He slowly turned around, looked at Chen Wei, and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Your Majesty!"

Chen Wei's image of the Great Wu Emperor was exactly the same as Wu Chun's imagined one. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Liu Yi personally supervised the process of having the makeup artist dress and style Chen Wei.

This outfit was also designed by Wu Chun himself. He had studied traditional Chinese painting, so it wasn't too difficult.

"Ahem!" Wu Chun coughed to ease the awkwardness, then looked at Liu Yi and said with a hidden smile, "You finally didn't disappoint me this time."

A great director still needs to maintain a certain air of authority.

"Alright! You're the one." Once Wu Chun has made up his mind, no one can change it; the decision is in his hands.

As for acting skills, just passing is fine, and some basic dialogue delivery is acceptable. Wu Chun doesn't have high expectations, after all, she has the natural charisma.

"By the way, who is she?" Wu Chun noticed Xiao Ruoyun's presence.

Liu Yi leaned close to Wu Chun's ear, covered his mouth with his hand, and explained the whole story to him.

"Alright then." It's just a palace maid role; Wu Chun isn't going to throw away Chen Wei, this precious gem, for Xiao Ruoyun's sake.

Hearing Wu Chun say this, Xiao Ruoyun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Director Wu, I heard you found..." A young girl in a pure white dress with a princess hairstyle walked over with light steps.

Halfway through the conversation, my attention was drawn to Chen Wei.

"Is this my brother Da Wu?!" The girl walked straight over and hugged Chen Wei's arm.

"This is Ms. Ye Liluoye, who plays your childhood sweetheart and the female lead in the drama," Liu Yi introduced.

Ye Liluo?
Chen Wei felt like she'd heard the name somewhere before; it sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. It must be a rising female celebrity.

"I've seen many people wear this outfit, but you definitely suit it best." Ye Lilu looked Chen Wei up and down, especially his profile, which she couldn't take her eyes off.

"I've heard of perverts, but this is the first time I've encountered a perverted woman. How novel."

"Who are you calling a madwoman?" Xiao Ruoyun's voice was soft, but Ye Liluo still heard it.

"Don't get me wrong, I was just talking to myself."

"You!" Ye Liluo was too lazy to waste words with Xiao Ruoyun and said to Liu Yi, "There's no need for someone like this to stay in the crew, right?"

"This..." Liu Yi looked troubled after hearing this and handed the decision over to Wu Chun.

"Miss Ye, come here for a moment." Wu Chun beckoned.

"what's up?"

After hearing about the relationship between Xiao Ruoyun and Chen Wei from Wu Chun, Ye Liluo weighed her words and said, "I take back what I just said, but I hope you understand that I did it for Brother Da Wu."

"What do you mean, Brother Da Wu? Brother Xiao Wu? My older brother's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Wei." Xiao Ruoyun just couldn't stand Ye Liluo.

She knew that the investor's surname was also Ye.

If you think about it this way, it's not surprising that Wu Chun treats Ye Liluo with such respect, addressing her as Miss Ye.

"Wait! What did you just say his name was?" Ye Lilu asked the question Wu Chun wanted to ask.

"Chen Wei, what's wrong?"
