Chapter 504

"As the saying goes, there are no small roles, only small actors. As long as you put your heart into it, every stage is a stage!"

That righteous, self-assured look instantly put Jin Chen on alert.

Looks like there's a rival!

……

"Su Meng, what about me?"

Boss Yang immediately grew anxious.

"And Liu Tianxian — we're your original cast, you can't just leave us behind, right?"

??? Giant question marks popped up over countless people's heads.

Original cast? Where did that phrase even come from?

"Pah!" Su Meng said irritably.

"What original cast? Don't talk nonsense! I'm still a v— cough cough cough!"

In the venue and the livestream, countless girls' eyes turned green.

The way they looked at Su Meng was like a dog seeing— pah! Like a wolf seeing meat.

Huge gossip! Truly earth-shattering huge gossip!

Su Meng explained helplessly.

"There aren't any roles in this film that suit you two—"

"When there's a suitable opportunity in the future, I'll definitely save roles for you!"

Boss Yang and Liu Tianxian wore bitter expressions, and could only accept this reality helplessly.

They had already noticed when filming the TV drama with Su Meng.

When Su Meng picks people, he doesn't deliberately look at an actor's fame — he looks at the fit between actor and role.

But since Su Meng had already promised them, naturally they wouldn't keep pestering him.

……

Deng Ziqi shot them a smug glance and sidled up.

"Su Meng, this film should need a soundtrack, right?"

"Does it need a female singer?"

Su Meng froze for a beat, then slapped his forehead hard and said as if suddenly enlightened.

"Right! If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost would've forgotten!"

Deng Ziqi immediately puffed out her chest and raised her eyebrows smugly at the others.

See that?

I don't fight you for roles — that's because the song is mine!

She opened her mouth, about to speak, when she saw Su Meng had already pulled out his phone.

"Hello, Xiao Ling, record a few songs these next few days!"

B-Bai Xiao Ling?

Deng Ziqi was instantly dumbfounded, her head buzzing.

What am I doing? Am I helping the enemy?

I gave them a reminder, only to make a wedding dress for someone else?

I really want to give myself a few hard slaps!

……

Seeing Su Meng hang up the phone, Reba cautiously sidled over.

"Su Meng, who's playing the male lead? Is it you?"

Su Meng thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"I suppose so."

"But this film is basically a big female-lead movie."

"My male lead is at most just one of the main cast."

Big female-lead movie?

In the venue and the livestream, who knew how many female artists looked at Reba with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Su Meng specially crafted a big female-lead movie just for you?

On what grounds?

Just because you're pretty and have a good figure?

Or because you stuck your tongue out?

Damn it! I can stick my tongue out too!

And a very flexible one at that…

Reba was also scared stiff.

This pie falling from the sky is way too big, isn't it?

You're this good to me, I have no way to repay you — all I can do is send myself to the bridal chamber!

Su Meng lowered his head in thought, then turned to Huang Jingxing and said.

"Are you free lately? If you are, come join the film for fun, will you?"

Huh? There's something for me too?

Huang Jingxing was instantly dumbfounded.

I'm just a street dancer — I actually get to appear on the big screen?

A moment later, he nodded heavily.

"Teacher Su, don't worry, I'll definitely perform well!"

"Relax a little, it'll be easy for you." Su Meng patted his shoulder and chuckled.

"Oh right, the movie also needs a few street dancers."

"Just pick a few people from the contestants on our 'Street Dance of China' show for me."

Holy crap!

The contestants on set instantly erupted.

I actually get to appear on the big screen?

And in a Su Meng movie, no less?

Every one of them looked at Su Meng and Huang Jingxing with burning eyes.

……

"Wait, Su Meng, what exactly is this movie of yours about?"

Boss Yang was already dumbfounded.

Recruiting those celebrities I can still understand, but why recruit these street dance contestants?

But Liu Tianxian's eyes lit up, and she said softly.

"Are you saying I'm not a good match for Mimi because we can't dance well?"

"So this movie of yours, is it about dancing?"

"Smart!" Su Meng gave her a thumbs-up.

"Just think of this movie as a musical."

A musical? Everyone was stunned for a beat, then immediately got excited.

If it were some ordinary director making a musical, the audience would probably watch with three parts suspicion.

But who is Su Meng?

In the music field, although he doesn't have many works, which one isn't a classic?

And look at this casting.

Reba, Jin Chen, Song Qian, Cheng Xiao, Wang Yibo, Zhang Yixing, Wang Jiaer — either professional contestants or from boy bands and girl groups, which one of them has weak dance skills?

And Huang Jingxing and those street dance contestants — which one of them isn't a top-tier dancer?

This movie is going to be really worth watching!

"Slap!" In an empty corner, Han Geng fiercely slapped himself across the face.

Damn you for showing off!

Otherwise, he could have at least landed himself a role!
