I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 213 Comparing people is like comparing dead people.
"Chen, Chen Wei!" Xiao Ruoyun was wondering when she saw Ye Liluo and Wu Chun become even more excited.

Does the name Chen Wei have that much power?

Xiao Ruoyun was puzzled.

"With your joining us, I believe the Great Wu Emperor will definitely become a huge hit." Wu Chun hurriedly had someone bring the contract, not wanting to wait a moment longer.

The performance fee for one episode has been directly adjusted to 800,000, which is 600,000 more than before.

Xiao Ruoyun watched from the side, filled with envy.

Others make 800,000 yuan a episode, while I can only earn 200 yuan a day...

It's true what they say: comparing yourself to others is like comparing yourself to a dead person; the more you compare, the more heartbroken you become.

"See? I wasn't lying to you. Follow me, and you'll definitely live a life of luxury." Xiao Ruoyun crossed her arms, rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Chen Wei, "Do you think I'd have a better future as a group leader?"

"We can give it a try." Life was already so hard, Chen Wei felt there was no need to further discourage Xiao Ruoyun.

The first scene has begun filming.

The Baiyue Kingdom was just a small country that often faced invasions and wars. Chen Wei plays Zhou Yuewu, who has to contend with his own brothers vying for power while also leading troops into battle. Among the emperor's sons, he is the only one who is both literate and skilled in martial arts, and is adept at using a long spear...

Riding on a chestnut horse, clad in silver armor, holding a long spear, he faced ten thousand enemies without a trace of fear on his face.

In a one-on-one duel with the enemy's general, a flash of cold light appeared first, followed by a spear thrust like a dragon!

Each move he made left the seasoned martial arts veteran looking extremely strained and surprised.

The man who had argued with Xiao Ruoyun earlier was also among the enemy soldiers. Watching Chen Wei's performance, he felt nothing but awe.

Being the protagonist is definitely not something anyone can do.

The horse was startled, and the enemy general tumbled to the ground. Chen Wei pointed at him with his spear and said, "You've lost. Retreat."

"Click!" Wu Chun's voice rang out the next second.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect!" Wu Chun has been acting for so many years, and Chen Wei is definitely the first person to present such a perfect effect.

Everyone's acting skills improved significantly because of him.
The perfect experience of filming in one continuous shot left Wu Chun, the director, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

If you can avoid getting angry, nobody wants to.

Chen Wei's existence can absolutely be described as a savior of the directing world; many people could live a few more years because of him.

"Young friend, you must also be a martial artist, right?" Cao Mu, who played the role of the enemy general, stepped forward and asked.

"Having some knowledge of it."

"It's rare to find someone as capable as you, young friend, who can remain humble and composed," Cao Mu said with deep admiration, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

He knew better than anyone that Chen Wei's moves just now were definitely not a performance, but rather a way to suppress his murderous intent for the sake of performance.

Even so, looking back now, Cao Mu still feels terrified.

"I'm getting more and more excited to film with Brother Da Wu." Whenever she gets a chance, Ye Liluo tries to get close to Chen Wei.

Xiao Ruoyun was displeased, but she tolerated it because of her status as the daughter of an investor.

So that the rice bowl you finally managed to get your hands on won't be gone before you've even had a couple of bites.

Although Xiao Ruoyun held Chen Wei as her trump card, she knew very well that she and Chen Wei were not related by blood. If he really wanted to break her heart, it was not impossible for him to kick her aside.

Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.

Xiao Ruoyun comforted herself in this way.

Ye Liluo had to leave, which gave her a chance to interject, "Which film academy did you graduate from? You must have been a top student, right?"

"I only have a high school diploma." Chen Wei was in a hurry to make money at the time, so he did not choose to go to university. After graduating from high school, he went straight into the workforce. "High school diploma? Impossible! With your acting skills, I really don't believe you're not a top student from a film academy."

Xiao Ruoyun was also impressed by Chen Wei's powerful acting skills at the time, but in that particular scene, many film emperors might not be able to compare.

The words "You've lost, retreat" struck a nerve with Xiao Ruoyun, sending shivers down her spine as if a faint electric current was coursing through her body.

"Do I need to lie to you?"

Xiao Ruoyun thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. It wasn't anything shameful, so why deny it?

Afterwards, the production team will use the existing sets, and the actors will select and shoot the necessary footage. Then, through editing, the footage will be added to the main drama.

It's a cost-saving shooting method, but repeatedly building up scene resources is not only expensive but also time-consuming.

"After all that effort, I didn't act a single scene and didn't earn a single penny." Xiao Ruoyun mumbled as she ate her rice, "But the boxed lunches here are pretty good; they're the best I've ever had."

"This boxed lunch costs at least twenty or thirty yuan. Rounding up, you've made a profit."

"That makes sense! I'll go get another copy, and you can take a look at it."

Who wants your used lunchbox...

Chen Wei watched Xiao Ruoyun run away speechlessly.

Seeing Xiao Ruoyun run back with a new boxed lunch, put it aside, and continue eating the previous one, Chen Wei asked, "Can you really eat this much?"

Honestly, this box is quite big. Even a big guy would feel full after eating it, let alone a girl.

"What are you thinking? I'm not a pig, saving it for dinner." Xiao Ruoyun rolled her eyes and explained.

"Why are you living such a hard life?" Chen Wei was puzzled. "If you were doing any other job, you wouldn't be in such a miserable state, would you?"

“Being an actress is my dream. What does it matter if I suffer a little hardship to achieve my dream?” Xiao Ruoyun said matter-of-factly. “Don’t look at me like this. My family is actually quite wealthy. It’s just that they didn’t approve of me acting. So I ran away on my own, intending to make a name for myself and go back to show them.”

"Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite inspiring." Xiao Ruoyun chuckled.

"..." Where is the passion?

Chen Wei asked, "How long have you been out?"

"It's been almost... two months, hasn't it?" Xiao Ruoyun recalled.

"How many movies have you filmed? How much money have you made?" Chen Wei asked again.

"I've played the ninth female lead and five minor roles, such as a beggar and a female bodyguard. In total, I earned... about three or four thousand." Xiao Ruoyun couldn't continue.

The word that was left unsaid was undoubtedly "hundred".

"I have something to do, I'll be going now." Before leaving, Chen Wei placed two hundred yuan on Xiao Ruoyun's lap.

"I will pay you back as soon as possible!" Xiao Ruoyun shouted.

Chen Wei threw the lunchbox into the trash can and waved.

"Dreams," Chen Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly. He too had once poured his heart and soul into pursuing his dreams.

Looking back now, the goal was clearly too small.

Chen Wei's dream at the time was to earn a million a year and be surrounded by beautiful women...

"Xiao Wei, you haven't left yet?" Seeing Chen Wei return, Su Meiyu swallowed the braised pork in her mouth and asked with some surprise, "Want some?"

"No, I just ate."

"Have you just eaten?"
