Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 623 - 597: Director Jia’s Invitation
But both of them knew Ye Chen’s identity; he’s soone who isn’t short of money, would he even act?
Jia Rui had already set her sights on Ye Chen at this mont.
She had a feeling that if Ye Chen played this role, the popularity of the show would definitely be elevated.
However, Jia Rui was quite anxious.
After all, Ye Chen drives a Cullinan, such people aren’t short of cash.
She was worried that he wouldn’t be willing to act, and that would be awkward.
Really, a person who drives a Cullinan, how could they be tempted by a few million in salary for a show?
Nonetheless, Jia Rui wasn’t planning to give up this chance.
The main point was that Ye Chen was just too suitable for the role.
Now, all she needed was to find a way to stop him, because if Ye Chen left, then there wouldn’t be any chance at all.
Ye Chen didn’t know he had been targeted by the director. At this mont, the road was clear, and Ye Chen’s car was ready to speed up, when suddenly a van cut in front of his car.
Damn!
Ye Chen hit the brakes and stopped the car at the roadside.
Who is this? Did Dai Ming send soone?
No, that’s not right, Dai Ming should already be at the police station now.
Just then, four or five people got out of the van.
Seeing those people, Ye Chen was confused.
So of them were wearing glasses and seed quite cultured.
They didn’t look like scoundrels or gangsters at all.
Ye Chen got out of the car and walked toward them.
In front of Ye Chen, ordinary thugs were just trash.
Forget a few, Ye Chen wouldn’t be afraid even if there were dozens of them.
Ye Chen looking at the bunch approaching him, asked calmly, "Do you need sothing?"
One of the bespectacled middle-aged n pushed his glasses and said sowhat sheepishly, "Hello, I’m Li Shan, the deputy director of the ’Palace’ crew."
With that, the middle-aged man directly handed Ye Chen a business card.
Ye Chen saw that they didn’t appear to an trouble and asked, "Oh, you need sothing from ?"
After all, who’d be happy when they’re randomly stopped while driving?
The man with glasses awkwardly smiled, "Well, it’s like this, our director from the ’Palace’ crew has taken an interest in you."
Ye Chen paused for a mont, "Sorry, I’m not interested in your director."
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the middle-aged man laughed awkwardly, "No, our director wants you to be the male lead."
The middle-aged man continued, "Our director is Jia Rui, a renowned director in Hua Country. This show features two leading ladies, Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya, and you’re the male lead. The director thinks your deanor perfectly fits the role."
Ye Chen shook his head, "Sorry, I’m not interested."
If Ye Chen were interested in acting, he’d have directed his own show from the start. Plus, he’s really busy and has to drive for DiDi; he doesn’t have the ti to film a TV series.
Ye Chen said coldly, "If there’s nothing else, please make way. I have things to do."
With that, Ye Chen expressionless, got back into the car and started the engine.
Having been refused by Ye Chen, Li Shan was quite embarrassed.
But Director Jia Rui had issued orders for him to stop Ye Chen.
Ye Chen noticed they weren’t letting him pass and said with a chilly expression, "My patience is limited, move aside."
Seeing the fierceness in Ye Chen’s deanor, Li Shan trembled slightly.
Just then, Jia Rui arrived.
Li Shan heaved a sigh of relief; it would be easier now that the director was here. He wouldn’t have to deal with it himself.
After all, Ye Chen had just gotten angry, and it would be bad if an argunt escalated.
Li Shan knew that Ye Chen drove a Cullinan, so his identity was definitely extraordinary.
With his background, it would be incredibly easy for Ye Chen to deal with him.
"Director Jia, you’re finally here. This gentleman doesn’t seem interested in acting, what do you think..."
Li Shan stepped aside as Jia Rui approached Ye Chen.
"Mr. Ye, it’s a pleasure to et you. I think you’re very suitable for my character. We can sit down and talk about any conditions you might have."
To be honest, Jia Rui wasn’t sure herself.
After all, soone driving a Cullinan, easily over ten million, such a person sees being a star as aningless.
Now, Jia Rui could only hope that Ye Chen found acting interesting enough to try.
Ye Chen rolled down his car window.
Seeing Ye Chen up close, Jia Rui’s heart skipped a beat.
His deanor was simply perfect.
If she could get him to play her leading role, it would be amazing.
Ye Chen’s skin was fair, and his features were sharp like they were carved, without a hint of flaw.
As a famous director, Jia Rui had worked with countless young actors.
But upon seeing Ye Chen, she still felt a flutter of excitent.
Ye Chen said coolly, "Sorry, I’m not interested in acting, so if there’s nothing else, I’d like to leave."
Jia Rui felt a bit embarrassed by Ye Chen’s indifferent attitude.
"Could you please give five minutes, just five minutes," Jia Rui pleaded sincerely.
Seeing her being so courteous, Ye Chen couldn’t respond harshly and said, "Alright, just five minutes."
"Mr. Ye, we’re preparing to shoot ’Palace Locking Heart Jade’, and your image matches the Eighth Prince in our script perfectly."
Palace Locking Heart Jade?
Ye Chen paused for a mont; wasn’t this the script he wrote?
Ye Chen then rembered that Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya’s starring show, ’Palace Locking Heart Jade’ was about to air.
In the past, Ye Chen had written the script and simply handed it over.
Among so many movies and series, Ye Chen didn’t have the ti to film each one individually.
Jia Rui said earnestly, "I understand that you’re not short of money, but I feel like your image fits the role of the Eighth Prince so well, please give this chance. By the way, our show has two other actors, Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya."
At that mont, Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya squeezed through the crowd.
"Ye Chen, is it really you?" Tong Xiaoya asked in surprise.
Yang Mimi laughed and said, "Ye Chen, we’ve got such fate together."
Originally, Jia Rui wasn’t holding out much hope, but she didn’t expect Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya to know Ye Chen, and her eyes lit up.
It’s known that to rich kids, actors are just like trash.
Thus, Ye Chen had no real need to act.
But if Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi knew Ye Chen, it would be a different story.
Jia Rui said, "Mimi, Xiaoya, since you know this gentleman, why not persuade him properly."
Everyone was astonished; Director Jia was normally quite aloof. Today, she was so humble due to this young man.
Tong Xiaoya giggled, "Ye Chen, why don’t you join the crew; the three of us can have a great ti together."
Yang Mimi also laughed and said, "Exactly! I’ve always wanted to act opposite you, playing my Eighth Prince."
Tong Xiaoya remarked, "I regret my choice; had I known, I’d have chosen your role."
Seeing the two girls, Ye Chen helplessly shook his head, "Alright then, I have things to do today. Let think about it."
If it were Jia Rui, Ye Chen would outright reject her, but with these two girls, Ye Chen indeed felt a bit conflicted.
