The big star has a prince syndrome

Xu Qingran finally felt refreshed. After a night of rest, he felt refreshed, his complexion was rosy, and he even walked with a breeze. He was in such good shape that even Tan Zhuoxi couldn't help but wonder if he had taken some chicken blood last night.

"Why do I feel like you're in good spirits? Did you sneak out for a date last night? Tell me the truth, did that beautiful woman who greeted you at the party last night fall in love with you?"

After getting on the plane, Tan Zhuoxi leaned close to Xu Qingran and asked in a low voice. They were sitting in the business class, and Ye Yan was sitting in the row in front of them with her bodyguard Brother Wen.

When Ye Yan heard Tan Zhuoxi asking about what happened last night, her attention was immediately drawn away from the movie playing on the tablet in front of her. She couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation after she stood up.

Obviously, Tan Zhuoxi thought Bai Wenwen was the girl who was chatting up Xu Qingran. After all, this guy is really handsome, so it's not surprising that he is favored by a rich girl.

"Last night... Of course not. I stayed in the boss's room the whole time and didn't leave. It's normal for a handsome man to be approached. So a beautiful woman doesn't tempt me. Brother Zhuo, don't make wild guesses. I'm a serious person."

Xu Qingran explained in a low voice, thinking to himself, I can’t tell you what I did last night, don’t listen to anything inappropriate.

There was nothing wrong with this answer, and Ye Yan felt relieved. Recalling the scene of last night, he couldn't help but smile.

Brother Wen next to him saw him laughing and thought it was because of the funny plot of the movie, so he took a curious look at the computer screen in front of him. Oh my god, it was a chainsaw killer!

Brother Wen was stunned, he shook his head silently and turned away

He didn't understand why this thing could make him laugh, but he was deeply shocked.

Actually, they didn't communicate at a distance last night, but it was almost there, everything was there, except that the last step involved using his legs...

Recalling those scenes, Ye Yan's ears turned red again, and he pulled his collar to cover the faint red marks left by Xu Qingran on his body. After all, he had never been in love before, so how could he resist his lover's teasing and invitation.

This time, Ye Yan signed the most commercially valuable endorsement, and her relationship with Xu Qingran made a qualitative leap.

Apart from knowing that he had a marriage partner, there were mostly good things. However, after returning to S City, all his good mood was ruined by one thing. It was no exaggeration to say that he fell from heaven to earth overnight.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoye, I probably can't help you this time. Our scandal has made headlines and has a huge impact on the company. The investor for the drama 'A Thousand Stars Can't Compare to You' is our long-term partner at Jiusheng Group. You can refuse the role, but I can't personally help you adjust. You'll have to rely on yourself."

After returning, Pei Sujun asked him to have dinner with him. Pei Sujun specially chose a Western restaurant where each table was separated by a curtain. It was not particularly high-end but it was private enough.

This is definitely bad news for Ye Yan. He has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia. When he was nothing, he allowed himself to do things he didn't want to do and play roles he didn't like for a living because he needed money.

But things are different now. He is not short of money, and he has a status and influence that other colleagues can't match. He doesn't want to compromise himself anymore, and he wants to protect his hard-earned present and cherish his reputation. But after all, he is just an artist, and the oppression of capital still makes him breathless occasionally.

"On my own? But I'm used to being protected by you. Do you think I can handle it?"

Ye Yan said self-deprecatingly that he really didn't want to act in that idol drama that he thought was stupid after reading two pages of the script, and the female lead was an actress he didn't have a good impression of.

Of course, he doesn't need to say all this. Everyone has a few people they don't like, but he has the manners to keep it in his heart and not mention it. So no matter from which perspective, there is no need for him to star in this drama.

He would rather play the third male lead in a good work, or even make a friendly guest appearance, than play the leading role in a bad drama. This is his last stubbornness as an actor and also his bottom line.

Pei Sujun knew that Ye Yan had a strong personality, and asking him to change his decision would be the same as asking him to die.

This was Pei Sujun's first impression of Ye Yan when they first met. He was not afraid of anything except losing the right to control his own life.

"I know this is difficult for you, but there's actually a very simple solution. As long as you sign the contract for your first TV series as soon as possible, you'll have enough excuse to reject the Starlight crew. The company is already helping you find the best scripts. What do you think? Sooner or later, you'll have to act in a TV series anyway. No movie star can escape this rule, so it's better to decide as soon as possible."

"It sounds like a good idea, provided I can choose a script I like. Of course, it would be even better if the team behind it is reliable."

This is Ye Yan's minimum requirement. He can shoot a TV series, but the quality of the script must meet his standards. Although he is only 26 years old, his requirements for the work seem to be as strict as those of old artists.

Pei Sujun smiled, picked up the cutlery, cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.

"Of course. For your first TV series, I will definitely be one of the investors and will personally oversee it for you. This time when you go back, carefully select the script and decide on it as soon as possible so that Zhu Cheng will give up sooner. Don't worry too much. Although I can't help you openly, I will still be able to help you behind the scenes. Eat your food."

Pei Sujun was good at comforting people, and Ye Yan's mood didn't seem so bad anymore. But since it was his first TV series after all, he doubted whether he could choose a script that would make him want to participate.

For his first screen debut, he didn't want to hastily choose a work that was only slightly better in comparison just because he had to reject the crew of Thousands of Stars. If that really happened, he might as well quit the circle.

“That’s all I can do. I hope there will be better works.”

Ye Yan has been in the entertainment industry for seven years and has witnessed the horrors of the deep waters of the entertainment industry. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Pei Sujun.

But now he has encountered something that even Pei Sujun cannot decide, which has made Ye Yan understand some truths, that is, you cannot rely too much on others in everything, and it is time to learn to conquer difficulties on your own.

After having dinner with Pei Sujun that day, Ye Yan went to the company. He wanted to see if there were any TV dramas that caught his eye.

He asked the staff to bring all the scripts and outlines sent by the production company to the conference room. There were about a dozen or so of them, and these were the ones that had already been "screened" by the agency.

Ye Yan sat in the conference room and read the script for an hour. During this time, the artist director came in and asked him if he had chosen one that he was satisfied with.

Among the scripts in front of her, half of them are love stories, but their logic is much more mature than that of "A Thousand Stars Cannot Compare to You". Unfortunately, Ye Yan still doesn't like it.

"This is a pretty good one. It's the only ancient costume drama among these scripts, and it's also a dark fantasy. The main point is that it's original. I looked at the outline and it's quite novel. The storyline is also good, and the characters are fine. Most importantly, there's no clichéd love storyline. I just don't understand whether it has two male protagonists or a dominant male lead."

After watching for an hour, Ye Yan chose a costume drama called "Chu Cheng". Ye Yan was very satisfied with the plot and character settings.

The only thing he didn't understand was that there were two relatively important male characters in the script, so he really wanted to know whether the show was set up with two male protagonists or a male-dominated drama.

"You mentioned [Chu Cheng], we're also very optimistic about this drama. It does have two male protagonists, but there's a ranking setting. The first one has already been decided by the production team. Of course, if you have any requirements, the production team can still discuss it."

The artist director explained, hinting to Ye Yan that if he wanted to take the lead, everything would be easy to negotiate with the production team.

However, Ye Yan did not have too high requirements for this ranking. He even felt that it would be perfect to get the second place for his first TV drama. After all, movies were his main occupation, and TV dramas were just a necessary step in his acting career, not the destination.

"As long as the script is good, I'm fine with the second lead. I don't want to be too prominent in my first drama, so it would be best if someone could take the lead. So who is the other male lead?"

He asked as he flipped through the rest of the story, seemingly captivated by it.

"Ji Yunzhi."
