Chapter 463: The People's Name
"Holy crap! You... you're Su Meng?"
Seeing Su Meng, Boss Yang was instantly startled.
Deng Ziqi also circled around Su Meng several times, constantly exclaiming in wonder.
"I know your makeup technique is awesome, but what's going on with your body? Where are your eight-pack abs?"
"Ziqi, please have some self-respect!" Su Meng impatiently pushed her hand away.
"To act, I adjusted my diet and changed my physique."
Well, that was a lie; the real reason was...
"Versatile Body Shape: While maintaining the same height, one can adjust the body within a certain range!"
This skill cost Su Meng a full twenty million popularity points.
It made him so heartbroken he almost cried.
But for him, this was also an investment; it would be very helpful for expanding his acting range.
With god-level acting skills plus makeup art plus versatile body shape, the roles he could portray were countless.
Even female roles... ahem, no, absolutely not!
"It seems you value this play highly. Then why summon me? What role do you want me to play?"
Boss Yang asked only after being surprised for a long time.
"Rest assured, I won't make things difficult for you; I won't go snatch the female lead. Just give me a female second or female third role."
Female second? Female third?
Su Meng stared at her expressionlessly, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Boss Yang couldn't help but be stunned.
Is there something wrong with what I said? According to my status, playing a female second or female third role is already a downgrade, okay?
"Su Meng, is this request inappropriate?"
"Then how about... female fourth? Surely you won't make me play an extra?"
Su Meng pointed at Liu Tianxian.
"Ask Tianxian what role she played in the previous drama."
"Tsk! Pretending to be mysterious!" Boss Yang wore a look of smugness.
"Tianxian has already told me."
"In the previous drama, you were the male lead, and she played your lover; it should be the female lead or female second, right?"
Liu Tianxian sighed and said softly.
"You might find it hard to believe."
"The previous play was an ensemble drama; all the standout roles were male characters."
"But even so, among the female characters, I could only be... female fourth or female fifth?"
"It doesn't matter; just know that I'm satisfied enough to have my name on the cast list."
"So... Mimi, which female role do you think you can play?"
What the heck? Boss Yang was completely baffled.
Even Liu Tianxian's status can only land her a female fourth or female fifth role?
Deng Ziqi burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, luckily I'm an amateur actor; I don't need to worry about these issues. Just getting a chance to appear on screen is enough to thank heaven and earth."
"Let me see... Oh my, this script is the thinnest one."
She picked out a thin script from the pile, flipped through it casually, and instantly became excited.
"Female, 26 years old, short stature... isn't this describing me?"
"Su Meng, is this a role tailored specifically for me?"
"You really treat me so well!"
Su Meng sighed and said softly.
"Ziqi, people should have self-awareness."
"This role's screen time isn't heavy, but the demand for acting skills is extremely high!"
"Just you..."
He casually pulled out two pages of paper and stuffed them at her.
"Take a look at this; this is your role."
Huh? Deng Ziqi took it with confusion, but after just one glance, her small face immediately drooped.
"So... I'm not even worthy of having a name appear?"
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around; just listen to Su Meng's arrangement."
"He has very high requirements for acting; just make sure you don't mess it up."
Liu Tianxian mediated.
"By the way, Su Meng, which female role will I play this time?"
"Hmm... let's count it as female third," Su Meng thought for a moment and said offhandedly.
He flipped through the documents in his hand and handed over a script.
"This is yours; the beginning is a pure female college student, and the latter part is a cold, domineering older sister."
"The difficulty isn't too great; you should be able to handle it."
"Mimi, this is yours." Su Meng pulled another copy over and handed it to her.
"This time you'll play a career woman, barely the fourth female lead."
"I'll train you properly; you shouldn't have any problems."
"Oh right, if you want to play the role well, I have to cut your hair short!"
What? Boss Yang was instantly stunned.
Liu Tianxian and Deng Ziqi were also stunned.
Boss Yang's hair is so long, so soft, and so sexy.
Don't you like long, straight black hair?
Boss Yang touched her head of beautiful hair, gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind.
"Fine! I'll listen to you; I'll cut it!"
As she spoke, a wave of grievance rose in her heart; tears swirled in her eyes, on the verge of falling.
I've sacrificed so much for Su Meng... oh no, for this play...
"Director Su, what are you doing?"
Secretary Dakang... oh no, Teacher Wu Gang walked in from outside.
Seeing Boss Yang's tearful, about-to-cry expression, he immediately felt a bit numb.
