Chapter 226 Going Back on One's Word

Fortunately, after the show became popular, quite a few popular young male celebrities wanted to participate, which was a small consolation for the director.

Another piece of news surprised Shen Ruojun: the director who had previously complained that he was too handsome had surprisingly contacted him again.

"Yunyun, do you want to give it a try?" Yuan Yun whispered tentatively. After all, she also felt that what the other party did was not fair. She was so angry at the time that she almost didn't find someone to set up an altar and perform a ritual.

But after all, the other party is a famous director, and many people want to line up to act in his films. The fact that he came back to Shen Ruoyun is a huge favor.

Shen Ruoyun was eating crayfish with Ruan Huai, and they had ordered the spicy kind, which made him sweat profusely.

Hearing Yuan Yun's words, I was immediately reminded of that arrogant, bald director who judged people by their appearance.

Without even thinking, he immediately refused, "No, let him find a burly man to act in."

Yuan Yun had expected Shen Ruojun's attitude. After all, even a clay figure has some temperament; it's not something that can be summoned and dismissed at will.

Now, their own artist is no longer an unknown; there are plenty of roles waiting for him to play.

Judging from Fang Zhen's condescending attitude when he was on the phone just now, Shen Ruoyun probably won't get much benefit after going in.

Thinking about it, it's probably better to refuse, to avoid any further trouble. People with different values ​​shouldn't work together.

"Alright, then I'll turn it down for you."

Shen Ruoyun responded and then hung up the phone.

"Brother Yun, this place is so delicious. I'll order from here again next time. This is a shrimp tail I peeled for you, you can have it." Ruan Huai offered the peeled shrimp tail to Shen Ruoyun.

In order to remotely control Ruan Huai and Chen Jiale, Lu Yan and Chen Jiaxi had specifically instructed that the money could only be kept in Shen Ruojun's account, and that the two of them should not be allowed to spend money on random things.

However, they seemed to have miscalculated. After all, Shen Ruoyun was also a big foodie. The team of these three was like a den of snakes and rats, which meant they had found their own organization.

In addition, Shen Ruoyun is soft-hearted, and whenever Ruan Huai and Chen Jiale suggest what to eat, he can never find a reason to object.

So the current situation is that the restraint has had no effect at all; instead, it's more like a wild horse that has broken free and gone wild.

"Brother Yun, I heard there's an old snail rice noodle shop in the old alley in the west of the city."

Their soup base is rich and flavorful, and the braised pork knuckle is so tender and bouncy, it practically falls off the bone. Let's go eat it later.

As Chen Jiale spoke, he found a video and placed it in front of the two of them.

Upon seeing this, the two immediately nodded in agreement.

Life is short, only a few decades, so we must eat to our heart's content while our teeth are still strong.

After finishing their meal, the group lay on the sofa and started playing video games. In order to annoy their opponents, they decided to play the "Bush Trio" (a specific game mode).

"Ruan Huai, go up and use Daji's second skill to stun Lu Ban. The others will definitely come to save him."

Then I used my second skill to freeze them and my ultimate to slow them down, and then Lele used Angela's second skill and ultimate to burst them down.

"Received." The group stood by the bushes on the bottom lane, waiting for the enemy hero to pass by.

At that moment, a small, hard-boiled egg strode arrogantly toward them.

He's here, he's here! He's walking in with confident strides.

"Daji, get ready! Get ready to unleash your skill!"

Upon receiving the order, Ruan Huai immediately pressed a series of buttons on the screen, unleashing all his skills.

Then, they harvested a wave of minions.

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Next time you should wait until he gets closer before you hit him."

There was nothing they could do; Daji was currently in a very passive position, while the enemy's main force was rushing straight towards them.

Shen Ruojun was not slow either; with her ultimate move in hand, she felt invincible.

One skill freezes five people at once, and then add an ultimate move for a perfect finish.

"Wow! It's a sure thing!!! Lele, hurry up and catch up."

"Oh, good!"

Just as he was about to unleash his ultimate move, a phone call popped up unexpectedly.

Shen Ruoyun: "!!!"

I hung up the phone immediately, but it was too late.

The three stared at the black screen on their phones, a suffocating atmosphere filling the air.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang again, and Shen Ruoyun answered it through gritted teeth.

He cursed inwardly, "You better be in trouble!"

"Hey!"

"Hello, Shen Ruoyun, right? This is Fang Zhen." The other person's tone still carried a hint of arrogance.

Shen Ruoyun was somewhat surprised. He had just made things clear with Yuan Yun, so why would this person still call him?

But he still patiently replied, "Director Fang, is there something you need from me?"

"Here's the thing, filming starts on the 8th of next month. Remember to join the crew then." The other person spoke quite forcefully.

These words almost made Shen Ruoyun laugh. There are other directors in the world besides you.

"Director Fang, I've thought it over carefully. I'm not a good fit for this role. You should look for another actor."

Fang Zhen was surprised that Shen Ruoyun didn't give him face even when he stepped forward, and he was a little embarrassed. Everyone in the industry would smile at him, but he never expected to encounter someone who didn't know what was good for him.

His work is a big production and has a high chance of becoming a huge hit. The actors who participate will benefit from it more than just a little bit.

To put it bluntly, even a dog on a film crew can become a star.

"I only gave you a chance because I watched your variety show. Young people shouldn't be so arrogant."

Shen Ruoyun burst out laughing at Fang Zhen's words, "What do you mean by 'reluctantly'?"

That means he was just a backup option, and if Fang Zhen found a more suitable actor later, he could be replaced in no time.

"I'm sorry, Director Fang, my hand is broken, I can't act," Shen Ruoyun said in a less than friendly tone.

Clearly, the other party hadn't expected Shen Ruoyun to reject him again and again, and was immediately somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"You're popular now, but how long do you think you can stay popular? Without good works to back you up, in a few months, people won't even remember your name."

I was already a little annoyed after losing the game, but now I'm being belittled again and again, and my anger just flared up instantly.

"Now, while there's still a chance, we should quickly build up our portfolio, otherwise, we won't have any roles to play later..."

"Then let's not perform," Shen Ruoyun said directly.

"What else can you do if you don't act?" the other person sneered. "You seem to only have a high school diploma, right?"

"What do you care about my education level? I'll dress up as a frog and sell balloons in the square."

"I'm hanging up. Don't bother me while I'm playing games."
