Chapter 9: So You Are This Kind of Huaqiang!

In his past life, Little Xiao Taohong was really good to Duan Long in school; not only did she often bring him fruit, but when Duan Long didn't have money to go home for the New Year, Little Xiao Taohong took him home to eat New Year's Eve dinner and even specially prepared Xinjiang big plate chicken and baked naan for him, moving Duan Long so much that he couldn't be more moved.

It wasn't until 20 years later that the famous Duan Yihong dared to say on a show that he liked Little Xiao Taohong, saying she was like a beam of light illuminating his university time and warming his inferior and sensitive heart.

Do you know why Duan Long changed his name to Duan Yihong?

Because in 2003, Little Xiao Taohong married Xu Guangtou, so Duan Long changed his name to Yihong that same year, a homophone for "remembering Hong."

However, Wu Yuchen couldn't interfere with this kind of thing. Huang Lei chasing Sun Li was originally a sure thing. But as for this Duan Long, with his inferior spirit, he probably wouldn't dare to confess for four years of university.

Actually, Wu Yuchen could have chosen Little Xiao Taohong to be the female lead, conveniently creating an opportunity for Duan Long.

Little Xiao Taohong's acting skills were absolutely no problem; saying she was gifted and born to eat this bowl of acting rice was not an exaggeration.

Huabiao, Golden Rooster, Golden Eagle, Flying Sky—she swept through them all within a few years of her debut, and it wasn't like some actresses who received controversy for winning awards; it was the kind that everyone was convinced by, and the gold content was sufficient.

But the beauty is the beauty, why the pyramid scheme!

Wu Yuchen could only sigh in his heart.

At this time, Little Xiao Taohong had already given the script to Duan Long and smiled at Wu Yuchen:

"Sorry, I'm not doubting you; I just want to check for Duan Long~"

Wu Yuchen waved his hand indifferently: "Senior Duan Long, why don't you take a look at the script?"

"He's so sincere; you should take a look~" Little Xiao Taohong said to Duan Long.

Duan Long nodded honestly and immediately opened the script to read.

Little Xiao Taohong was on the side, and seeing Wu Yuchen didn't mind, she also followed along to take a look.

Before long, both of them were completely immersed in the script, their heads together reading the story.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, both had read to the end, but they were still immersed in the aftertaste of the script. They were both studying acting; in the past year or so, they had come into contact with quite a few plays and skits, so they of course had the ability to distinguish good from bad.

"Duan Long, take it; such a good script!" Little Xiao Taohong shook his arm excitedly.

At this time, Duan Long was still somewhat dull and silly, asking Wu Yuchen: "Really looking for me to act?"

Duan Long was still somewhat unconfident; he hadn't expected that such a good script and such a good story would have the male lead fall on him?

"Of course!" Wu Yuchen looked at the still green and silly Duan Long, knowing that although he was usually silent, he was also an acting maniac; he would become a different person when acting.

At this time, Little Xiao Taohong smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line:

"Duan Long, you will definitely act well! I'll help you ask for leave when the time comes!"

Wu Yuchen looked at Duan Long, who was still scratching his head, thinking that the male lead was settled, and he had to attack the next target, which was also a key figure, the robber who got on the bus halfway.

"Freshman musical theater class?" Duan Long looked at Wu Yuchen beside him in surprise.

Seeing Wu Yuchen nod, Duan Long didn't say anything, just brought him over and buried the question in his heart.

Duan Long had heard of this class, but it wasn't an undergraduate class; it was a junior college class attached to the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, only taking classes for two years.

But he always felt that looking for actors shouldn't be looking for those in their acting class? Why go to find someone studying musical theater?

However, Wu Yuchen didn't know what he was thinking.

After turning around, the two heard that the musical theater class was currently having a dance class, so the two came to the door of the dance practice room again.

The door of the dance practice room was closed, but they could hear music playing inside, which was a rhythmic piano piece.

Wu Yuchen pushed a crack open from the back door and looked inside with Duan Long.

Inside, there were twenty-plus people scattered, all wearing ballet uniforms.

Among this group of people, Wu Yuchen discovered his target at a glance:

Small eyes, big nose, currently smiling, hands folded in front of his chest, doing ballet jumps.

Northeast Dance King—Sun Honglei!

Wu Yuchen observed carefully, only to see his upper body in a black tight-fitting short sleeve, and his lower body in white tight ballet pants. His neck was straight, his back stretched, his two heels facing each other, toes facing both sides, making his feet form a line.

Then he followed the beat of the music, jumping with the force of his toes one by one, changing his feet every time he reached the air, his insteps kept arched, looking very light, and then landing on his toes.

Wu Yuchen laughed out loud.

Duan Long didn't know what Wu Yuchen was laughing at beside him; he felt these people were jumping quite well! The movements were elegant and gentle; how beautiful!

To be fair, Sun Honglei was jumping quite well, but Wu Yuchen just thought of the domineering appearance of the black boss he played in his past life, walking so arrogantly, and then looked at Sun Pretty, who was wearing a ballet uniform and jumping ballet on his toes, and a strong sense of incongruity and contrast made him unable to hold back, covering his mouth halfway and making a "cool, cool, cool" laughing sound.

Sun Honglei actually had such a gentle side!

So you are this kind of Huaqiang!

Seeing Duan Long's puzzled eyes, Wu Yuchen said to Duan Long in a low voice:

"See the one in the back row, small eyes, big nose, a bit ugly; how about finding him to play the robber?"

Duan Long was stunned upon hearing this; find someone dancing ballet to play a robber?!

At the same time, he also followed Wu Yuchen's gaze to find Sun Honglei's figure, and then the doubt in his eyes became even stronger; are you sure you want to find this smiling, somewhat honest one who is spinning in place on his toes to play a robber?

Wu Yuchen knew that no matter who looked at Sun Honglei in this scene, they wouldn't associate him with a fierce robber, so he smiled and said:

"You'll know in a moment."

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the music in the room stopped, and the students inside also walked out in twos and threes.

Sun Honglei just walked out of the practice room, intending to go back to wash and change clothes, only to see two people suddenly flash out and stand in front of him.

"Hello, classmate; let me introduce you. This is Duan Long from the sophomore acting class, and I am Wu Yuchen from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy."

At this time, Duan Long also learned from Wu Yuchen just now and handed his student ID to Sun Honglei.

However, Sun Honglei didn't even take it, directly showing an honest smile, his back slightly bent:

"Hello, two seniors! My name is Sun Honglei; I don't know what you are looking for me for?"

Sun Honglei had been working in society for many years before, not timid at all, and he looked at the images of the two, especially Wu Yuchen being so handsome, thinking they should be doing art, so it couldn't be bad.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "It's like this, Honglei; we are planning to shoot a short film, and there is a role we think you are quite suitable for. 200 yuan, 3 days; do you want to act?" ===== CHAPTER 10 =====
