Chapter 13: Calling Yang Mi 'Wife'! This kid has something! (Seeking flowers and votes)

"Are you a steel ball? Can't be hit on?"

"There's a thing called aqua regia, ever heard of it?"

Su Chen gave a cocky smile.

If it were any other female boss,

Su Chen wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

Because female bosses are all tigresses.

They can eat people!

The reason he dared to flirt with Yang Mi so unscrupulously

was because Su Chen was too familiar with her.

He couldn't feel any majesty from her.

He could only see charm and allure!

The most important reason, of course, was that Su Chen had bound a system cheat.

With the system as his capital,

Su Chen was fearless. ===== CHAPTER 36 =====

The system told him to be a Cao Cao-style scoundrel,

then he would be one!

Let alone flirting with a mere Yang Mi,

he would even dare to charge at the Queen of England!

Yang Mi turned to the side, facing Su Chen.

She crossed her legs, her chest held high,

striking an extremely alluring pose.

Her peach-blossom eyes gave a soul-hooking smile.

"You signed with the company and haven't achieved any great results yet."

"You've already snatched away the top salesperson, and now you want to mess with your female boss..."

"Aren't you afraid of being kicked out? But, I just happen to have a stubborn temper."

"I'll bet with you! Anyway, my probability of winning is 100%."

Yang Mi firmly believed

that the probability of Su Chen being chosen by Wong Kar-wai as the male lead

was lower than her assets exceeding Musk’s.

If Su Chen could land a fifth or sixth male role in this top-tier production,

he would be lucky enough to burn incense.

Su Chen clapped his hands.

"Deal! Once I land this role, you won't mind if I call you 'Wife', right?"

Yang Mi scoffed.

"If you really have that ability, I could even call you 'Husband'!"

Su Chen looked like he was refusing.

"Forget it! Being your husband makes it easy to go missing and be unfindable."

………

Inside the audition hall.

Wong Kar-wai was wearing his sunglasses,

followed by a few staff members behind him.

Yang Mi was also mixed in among them.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Su Chen in the front.

That kind of pressure

was suffocating!

People’s strength and weakness are relative.

Many big-name actors

are arrogant and fierce when facing small directors.

But in front of top-tier directors like Zhang Zhang Yimou or Chen Chen Kaige, they are as obedient as dogs.

Wong Kar-wai’s seniority and status were right there.

His aura was still very strong.

Ordinary actors in front of him

would probably be so nervous that their speech would stutter,

let alone perform.

Wong Kar-wai was very strict in selecting actors,

but he wasn't completely devoid of social graces.

Given that Jiaxing Media was one of the investors,

he was willing to go through the motions of letting one of their actors audition.

Anyway, after Su Chen finished his audition,

he would just brush him off, and that would be the end of it!

At this moment,

Su Chen was wearing a suit unique to the 90s, with his hair slicked back.

His flawless facial features and hanger-like physique,

combined with the aristocratic aura radiating from him,

really had the air of a 90s petty-bourgeois boss.

Previously, Wong Kar-wai had let Hu Ge take makeup photos.

Their height, looks, and temperament were very similar.

If there was a difference,

it was that Hu Ge was older,

his face filled with the vicissitudes of life, showing his experience.

While Su Chen was slightly more green and immature.

Wong Kar-wai naturally still leaned towards Hu Ge.

However, Su Chen truly stunned him.

Many directors, when auditioning,

consider an actor’s fame, status, and acting skills important,

but sometimes they pay more attention to external image and temperament.

Take Hu Ge for example.

When he auditioned for *Chinese Paladin 1*,

once he put on Li Li Xiaoyao’s clothes,

the director immediately decided he was the only choice for the male lead!

The same logic applied.

Wong Kar-wai took a liking to Su Chen at first glance and wanted to work with him,

but not for this *Blossoms Shanghai*.

After the thought of working together arose,

Wong Kar-wai’s attitude towards Su Chen improved significantly.

He said in a soft, gentle voice: "Let’s start with a self-introduction."

Su Chen directly spoke in a fluent Shanghai dialect,

a whole burst of chatter!

"Director Wong, hello, my name is Su Chen, and I am a signed artist of Jiaxing Media."

"I have been studying acting for two and a half years..."

Wong Kar-wai was completely confused throughout.

He could tell Su Chen was speaking the Shanghai dialect,

but he couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, there was a dedicated local Shanghai translator beside him.

"Director Wong, he says his name is Su Chen, and he has been practicing acting for two and a half years..."

"His Shanghai dialect is very, very authentic, with a real 90s flavor."

Dialects are constantly evolving.

The dialect of the 90s is still different from today’s.

This translator was about 60 years old and had lived through the 90s.

Su Chen’s fluent dialect

seemed to pull him back 30 years.

Wong Kar-wai stood up in surprise.

"Really? Little Su, you speak Shanghai dialect so well?" ===== CHAPTER 37 =====

"Really? Little Su, your Shanghai dialect is so good?"

Su Chen bluffed forcefully.

"My grandfather is from Shanghai, I learned it from him when I was a child."

Wong Kar-wai suddenly realized.

"No wonder! To be honest, I thought you were forced in by capital, and I didn't take you seriously."

"But your image, temperament, and this fluent Shanghai dialect truly stunned me."

"I can guarantee that I will create a film or television drama with you as the male lead in the future!"

Yang Mi, standing to the side, was stunned.

Is it that exaggerated?

As an international-level director, Wong Kar-wai

does not make promises lightly.

If he says it, he will do it!

Su Chen really didn't come for nothing this time.

He hit the jackpot!

"Start your performance, shall we?"

"Maybe I'll arrange an important role for you in *Blossoms Shanghai* as well."

Yang Mi was excited again.

No way?

Is Su Chen really going to appear in *Blossoms Shanghai*?

Even if it’s not the male lead,

even if he plays a third or fourth male role,

that would be "a heroic rooster in fine feathers, flying to the branch to cover the phoenix."

Following that, Su Chen began his performance.

Actually, in this drama,

the character A-Bao does not have a fixed age.

It is mainly divided into two stages.

One is the young period before doing business, when he was destitute.

The other is the successful period after doing business, when he was rolling in money and calling the shots.

The latter is the main content.

Hu Ge’s age and experience

fit the successful period of the character A-Bao better.

But for the young stage of A-Bao,

Su Chen was clearly more suitable than him.

When a drama has a large age span,

an actor needs to use makeup and acting skills

to perfectly interpret the different age groups.

If Hu Ge’s age can play the young A-Bao,

then why can’t a young person like Su Chen play the successful Bao Zong?

It is much easier for a young person to pretend to be old

than for a middle-aged person to pretend to be young!

The first audition segment began.

There was only one shot and a few lines.

It was mainly about A-Bao meeting his ex-girlfriend Xuezhi,

who uses money to strike him down.

How high an actor’s acting level is

can be seen from just a few high-difficulty shots.

Whether the eyes can speak,

whether the expressions are on point,

whether the body is coordinated,

whether the lines are strong enough—

it’s all clear at a glance!

Wong Kar-wai arranged for a female acting teacher to perform with Su Chen.

The two sat at a table.

Su Chen’s eyes were dim, his expression slightly humble,

with a pleading tone.

"Give me 10 years, and I will prove you wrong."

A-Bao was a "licker" character at this point,

wanting to lick his way back to his ex-girlfriend.

He had to be sincere and humble.

Su Chen’s humble eyes, yet self-important expression,

brought out A-Bao’s state of mind at that moment perfectly.

The eyes hidden under Wong Kar-wai’s sunglasses

trembled violently.

This kid has something!
