Capítulo 598: Chapter 572 Arrogant Little Fresh Meat Ye Chen smiled faintly: “Right, not bad, I say I’m the second most handsome in the world, generally no one dares to claim they’re first.” The director was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Chen’s words. This guy is so immodest. The film city was located in the suburbs of Modu, so the journey was very long. The director saw Ye Chen’s profile and was increasingly shocked. This level of looks is simply otherworldly, someone who can make a living off their face, why would this young man drive for DiDi? Instantly, the director developed a fondness for his talent. If he could discover a big star, it would also be a dazzling achievement for the director. Once Ye Chen became popular, it would bring him endless wealth. He might even gain overnight fame and become a top-tier director like the recently famous Ye Chen. The director’s name was Hu Yi, a second-tier director. He had made a few films, but none of them were successful. He was even called the king of flops. This time, he felt his opportunity had arrived. Hu Yi smiled and said to Ye Chen: “Young man, you’re in luck, I’m the renowned Hu Yi from Hua Country. You’re very handsome, why not film a movie with me?” Ye Chen smiled: “Film a movie? I’m not interested.” “Not interested?” Hu Yi was taken aback. “Young man, what future do you have driving for DiDi? With me, you have the chance to become a big star.” Ye Chen just smiled faintly: “Haha, sorry, I think driving DiDi is quite nice.” “Driving for DiDi? How much can you earn in a month?” Ye Chen said: “Around three thousand or so.” “Three thousand plus, that’s too little, you can’t even afford a house in Modu.” Ye Chen nodded: “Yes, that’s true, but I don’t lack a house.” Hu Yi laughed and said: “By the way, young man, why are you wearing a mask?” Ye Chen sighed: “Ah, I can’t help it, I’m too handsome, without a mask I’m always harassed by female passengers.” Hu Yi was speechless: “Young man, isn’t this a bit exaggerated? Can you take off the mask so I can see just how handsome you are?” Ye Chen finally took off the mask. Hu Yi was stunned by Ye Chen’s looks. As Hu Yi, he had seen many young pretty boys, and even quite a few were trending celebrities. But he had never seen someone as handsome as Ye Chen. Ye Chen’s handsomeness was simply out of this world. In fact, Ye Chen even toned down his Charm Value. With a Charm Value over eight, many people could see at a glance that he was the great director Ye Chen. Set it to seven, it had some resemblance, but below six you basically couldn’t tell. However, the handsome appearance remained unchanged. Hu Yi’s eyes lit up and he said: “Young man, with your looks it’s a shame not to be a trending star, why stay here driving DiDi, come be a star with me.” “I already said, I’m not interested in being a star.” Hu Yi was taken aback, then sighed and said: “If you became a star, you would absolutely be a rising new star.” Ye Chen just shook his head: “Sorry, I’m not interested, I just want to quietly drive my DiDi.” “But driving DiDi doesn’t make money.” Ye Chen said: “Driving DiDi indeed doesn’t make money, but I’m happy, you can’t buy my happiness with money.” Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Hu Yi was speechless. “But being a star you would gain so much, money, status, even women.” Ye Chen just smiled faintly: “But I don’t lack any of those things you mentioned.” Hu Yi was speechless. “Alright, you’re amazing, I can’t out-talk you.” Ye Chen drove to the film city. Hu Yi got off the car. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen also got off the car. Hu Yi was taken aback: “Have you come around to the idea of becoming a big star?” Ye Chen just shook his head: “I just drove long distance and feel a bit tired, I heard this new film city was nice so I came to check it out.” Ye Chen walked into the film city. This film city had a similar name to the one in a previous life, called Hengdian Film City. The film city was very large, over thousands of hectares, with ancient and modern buildings alike. Replica models from several dynasties, Republic-era buildings were spread across various areas. In the center of the film city, there was even a modern cityscape. Not only that, the film city also had an artificial lake, ancient battlefields, and mountain streams. In short, any scene you wanted for filming movies, dramas, you could find it all. At this time, there were over a hundred production teams filming simultaneously in the film city, with extras and visiting tourists, making it very lively. Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, it seemed the Five Stars reward from the system was quite good. Owning a film city, filming his own movies might be much more convenient in the future. At this moment, in one of the crews, Ye Chen saw someone familiar. This crew was filming the web series he wrote, “My Overbearing President.” The director’s name was Qin Ming, and he was currently losing his temper. “Why hasn’t the male lead arrived yet? Our entire crew has been waiting for him for an hour, he’s too high-handed, isn’t he?” Hu Yi awkwardly said: “We’ve contacted him, he just finished a commercial and there’s some traffic on the way.” Qin Ming slammed the table hard. “With so many people waiting here for him, he does whatever he pleases, this is too much!” After all, with so many people in the crew, location costs and labor costs are money. The female lead is also a trending star and has been waiting for him. At this point, a luxury van drove over. A person wearing sunglasses arrogantly got off the car. Behind him was an assistant holding an umbrella, showing a lot of presence. The director angrily reprimanded: “Chen Xiao, you’re too much, making everyone wait for you, how do you even have the nerve? We have limited shooting schedule, what if we don’t complete filming?” Qin Ming is a very straightforward director, so he shouted angrily at Chen Xiao. Hearing the director’s shouting, Chen Xiao lost his temper too: “Director, why are you so high and mighty, I’m Chen Xiao, a trending young star in the country, so what if you wait for me a bit, I didn’t really want to play this second male lead role, if not for your investors begging me, you think I would want to? With my name, your film’s traffic is already up, so what if you wait for a while.” Qin Ming said: “I admit, you’re a trending star, but we also paid you, shouldn’t you be more dedicated? How do you justify your millions in appearance fees with this behavior?” “Tsk, a million, do you know how much I just made from an ad? Thirty million for ten minutes, your million is nothing?” Chen Xiao was extremely arrogant. Qin Ming was furious: “Alright, stop wasting time, let’s hurry and shoot.” Chen Xiao snorted coldly but said: “Director, sorry, I feel a bit heat-stroked, sorry, I need to take a break.” Saying this, Chen Xiao turned and walked away directly. Hu Yi was dumbfounded too. The female lead was utterly confused. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 Everyone was speechless. This Chen Xiao is too much of a diva. Now that you’re leaving, what about the set and the other actors? Qin Ming was trembling with anger.
