My singer girlfriend is super fierce

In Pengcheng, a star-rated hotel somewhere, this is where Ye Zhiqiu and his team stayed.

After the promotional event ended, Ye Zhiqiu returned to the hotel and had one more job to do.

In the reception room, Ye Zhiqiu met for the first time Luo Zhaoliang, who had come all the way from Hong Kong and had arrived early to wait for him.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."

When they first met, Luo Zhaoliang was very polite. Although he was older than Ye Zhiqiu and also a senior in the industry, he kept a low profile.

Although he knew that Ye Zhiqiu understood Cantonese, he still deliberately greeted him in Mandarin, which the other party was more familiar with.

"Hello, Brother Liang." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and shook hands with his opponent. "You don't have to be so polite. Uncle Qiang mentioned your idea to me. I am also looking forward to working with different outstanding actors."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't waste any words. Being straightforward was his usual style. He continued, "Look, I'm currently preparing a new play. It's a suspenseful crime drama."

"I will be the screenwriter, director, and play one of the male leads. There is also another starring role that I think you can handle, Liang Ge. I wonder if you are interested."

Luo Zhaoliang was surprised at Ye Zhiqiu's directness, and his mind was thinking quickly at this time.

Suspense or crime films?

Putting "suspense" first indicates that this is the main type.

Luo Zhaoliang did his homework and had an in-depth understanding of Ye Zhiqiu's previous works. He searched quickly in his mind and felt that the only film that possessed both elements was "Detective Chinatown".

This film is directed and acted by Ye Zhiqiu himself, so he must be extremely attentive to it and the quality should be guaranteed.

Luo Zhaoliang quickly analyzed the situation in his mind and said, "Of course, that's why I came here this time."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I've watched your previous works, Liang Ge. I won't say anything extra. Liang Ge, your acting skills are obvious to all. There's no need for an audition."

"There are two questions for this role. If you can accept them, the role is yours."

Luo Zhaoliang's face was solemn as he said, "Please speak."

In film and television works, some roles will make some special requirements of the actors, and this must be made clear in advance.

As a result, Ye Zhiqiu's next words made him a little upset.

"To play this role, you need to pretend to be gay. Is that acceptable?"

"..." Luo Zhaoliang's expression froze. He had originally prepared himself mentally, but this price... was really too high.

For many male actors, playing the role of "homosexual" is taboo. Not only will they be under pressure from social evaluation and public opinion, but the key is that if they don't handle it well, the audience will associate themselves with the label of "Gay" in the future, which will have a huge impact.

If I were young and had just debuted and had few roles to play, it would be okay to try for a good role, but now I am old and there is no need to take this risk.

To be honest, when he heard the word "Gay", Luo Zhaoliang was a little hesitant, but he still asked reluctantly.

"How specific is this?"

Ye Zhiqiu saw his concerns and slapped his head and said, "It's not that serious. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly."

"You don't need to play a gay, but in the plot, the character you play deceives others and pretends to be gay in order to achieve a certain goal."

"Also, to add credibility, you need to have a certain degree of intimacy with another male subject."

"Of course, it's just a long shot shot that serves the needs of the plot."

That’s it~

After listening to Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, Luo Zhaoliang finally understood that this level was acceptable.

"No problem." Without thinking for long, Luo Zhaoliang agreed.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and continued, "Second question, the character you play is set to be around 40 years old and a taxi driver."

"In order to fit the character's image, you need to gain another 20 kilograms on top of your current weight. Is that okay?"

Luo Zhaoliang just turned 50 this year, but he is in very good physical condition and has taken good care of himself, and looks to be in his early 40s.

Due to regular exercise, his body shape is relatively lean, which is somewhat inconsistent with Ye Zhiqiu's image of "a greasy middle-aged taxi driver who sits for a long time all year round", so he has to gain weight first.

Fat can soften the lines on the face, making the whole face look "kinder" and younger.

Luo Zhaoliang was much more receptive to this request. Controlling weight according to the role requirements is a routine operation for professional actors, so he agreed readily.

After the two key issues were settled, the rest became easy. The teams from both sides talked for a while and quickly finalized some other details.

As time is tight today, Ye Zhiqiu hasn't prepared the script yet, so he will send it over later.

An hour later, Luo Zhaoliang and his group came out of the hotel after the meeting. Because it was still early and the drive between Pengcheng and Hong Kong was only more than an hour, they decided to return directly.

"Aliang, the script has been sent!"

When we were about to return to Hong Kong, the agent in the car suddenly shouted.

So fast? Luo Zhaoliang was stunned and quickly took the tablet computer handed to him by his agent.

Before opening the electronic document of the script, Luo Zhaoliang paused, changed his mind, and decided to go back home and read it slowly.

However, he couldn't help but look at the title of the script on the cover.

——"Burning Sun".

Burning Sun? What does it mean? Seeing this name, Luo Zhaoliang was also guessing.

As we all know, Ye Zhiqiu has always chosen a straightforward style for naming his works, so that the audience can roughly know what the film is about just by looking at the title.

For example, "Detective Chinatown", "Monster Hunt", "My Sassy Girl" and so on...

But this "Burning Sun" has changed its previous style. Considering that this film is mainly about "suspense", it must be hinting or metaphorically implying something.

With anticipation and questions, Luo Zhaoliang returned home in a hurry. He said to his wife who came to meet him, "I'm reading the script, don't disturb me," and walked towards the study.

As a result, he waited for more than two hours until his wife became worried and knocked on the door.

"A Liang."

"Aliang? Let's eat first?"

There was silence from inside the room and no response. His wife panicked and opened the door suddenly. She saw Luo Zhaoliang sitting there, staring at the documents in his hand.

The wife breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "I called you but you didn't respond. I was scared to death."

"Ah? Oh." Luo Zhaoliang seemed to be awakened and replied subconsciously, "I didn't hear it. Sorry."

The wife couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of script can make you so fascinated? Is it really that amazing?"

"Awesome! Of course it's awesome!" At this time, Luo Zhaoliang came back to his senses, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he said excitedly.

"One word, absolutely!"

"This story is so exciting!"
