Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Meng Jin Making Trouble (Part Two)
At the head of the village, there was a big tree with dense branches, plentiful flowers, and a base covered with green stones, where he naturally sat down.
Soon, an old man in a worn-out shirt waved and shouted at him from a distance.
Meng Jin was feeling quite annoyed and didn’t want to bother with him, but the old man was relentless and walked straight toward him.
He said in a bad mood.
The old man, seeing his bad attitude, was so angry that he stomped his feet, “Young man, how can you have no manners at all? It’s a pity that I, an old man, ran all this way to tell you that you can’t sit under this tree. Be careful, or you might lose half your life just by sitting here!”
Meng Jin looked at him strangely. Although he didn’t quite believe his nonsense, seeing how serious he looked, he still got up anxiously.
“Didn’t you see that the villagers have surrounded this tree with stones? This tree is poisonous. It looks fine usually, but during the flowering season, it sheds fluffy stuff. If that fluff lands on someone, it will cause dense clusters of red bumps, and you won’t be able to stop scratching! By then, it will be terribly uncomfortable for you!”
Upon hearing that, Meng Jin jumped in fright and hurried a few meters away.
“You better be more careful.”
The old man shook his head and left, “If you get those red bumps, it won’t heal for ten days to half a month.”
Just as Meng Jin was about to speak, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.
Dense clusters of red bumps, ten days to half a month?
A smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
On the bumpy road in Dangshan County, Ye Xian was sitting in the car, earnestly flipping through the script.
Zhou Lu was peeling oranges for her beside her, and seeing her flipping through the script faster and faster, and her brows furrowing more and more, she asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Brother Ye, is the script not suitable?”
“Jiang Wen handed me three scripts, all featuring younger ‘puppy’ or ‘little brother’ type boyfriends.”
“Isn’t that great! Brother Ye, you were so good as Gu Chen in ‘Business World,’ handsome, cute, and adorable. You won over a lot of fans, and netizens said they couldn’t get enough of you. It’s just right for you to play a similar type again, fulfilling everyone’s wishes, and you can easily handle it!”
“It’s not like that.” Ye Xian shook her head and closed the script, “An actor should always challenge new roles to surprise the audience. Playing the same type of role too often can lead to visual fatigue for the audience, and the actor might get typecast. Once typecast in a specific role, it becomes difficult to get other types in the future.”
“So that’s how it is~”
Brother Ye was indeed Brother Ye, his considerations and depth of thought were beyond her reach.
“So, Brother Ye, what should we do with these scripts?”
Zhou Lu was shocked. Although these were just ordinary idol dramas, they were carefully selected by Jiang Wen, definitely the most suitable for him. Moreover, Brother Ye had just recently become popular, and rejecting so many scripts could anger the directors. Might they spread rumors in the industry that he was being haughty?
“Brother Ye, wouldn’t you reconsider?”
“No reconsideration.”
His phone rang in his pocket, and Ye Xian answered, “Second brother, what do you want?”
“Xiao Yezi, guess where I am right now?”
“Aren’t you abroad discussing collaborations?”
“The collaboration finished ahead of schedule. I just landed and am now right outside your hotel. Come on out, I have a surprise for you!”
