Chapter 1: I've Become Liu Yifei's Cousin?
Beijing, a nightclub.
Seven or eight people were sitting in a booth, surrounded by bright lights and lively conversation, clinking glasses and occasionally blowing warm breath into each other's ears, which aroused one's imagination.
"Brother Chun, is there an audition for that period drama?"
"Brother Chun, would you like to learn a foreign language? I can teach you, okay?"
"Brother Chun..."
The main character in the booth is named Liu Chun, and several scantily clad women around him are flattering or seducing him.
Liu Chun is indeed good-looking, standing at 1.85 meters tall, with muscular physiques that are faintly visible, and a face with distinct features.
He was smiling at first, but suddenly his face stiffened, and a flash of clarity appeared in his heavily intoxicated eyes.
"How...how did I get here?"
Liu Chun stared blankly at the depraved scene before him.
His last memory was of a main road in the capital city. He had just worked hard for more than ten years to finally get a job under Zhang Yimou's management. Just as he was feeling triumphant, a Dayun truck came towards him...
How come I wasn't killed?
No, look at the surrounding furnishings and design, this is definitely not 2025!
I traveled through...
Liu Chun felt a surge of resentment. He had finally made it through hard work, only to be hit and killed by a car. What a damn stroke of bad luck!
What kind of person am I in this life?
Unfamiliar memories flooded back like a tide. After a moment of stunned silence, Liu Chun opened his mouth wide in disbelief and exclaimed, "Awesome, awesome!"
"I'm actually Liu Yifei's cousin!?"
At this moment, a woman with long, wavy hair next to her seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Chun's behavior. She put her arm around Liu Chun's and secretly rubbed her chest against him, saying coquettishly, "Brother Liu Chun, give me a straight answer, otherwise I feel anxious when I miss you..."
"Damn it..." Liu Chun felt embarrassed. The original owner of this body relied on being Liu Yifei's cousin to spread the word that he had connections to get auditions, which is why so many monsters and demons were throwing themselves at him.
In reality, Liu Chun has no resources at all. He and Liu Yifei are not even cousins. Liu's mother doesn't want to talk to her, but Liu Yifei herself is unwilling to give up.
The woman with the big waves was still acting coquettishly, completely unaware that an uninvited guest had already barged into the bar.
She was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a light white long dress. Her skin was like porcelain, and her face had a soft-focus filter. She had a cool and gentle appearance, but now her face was like ice, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Who else could it be but Liu Yifei?
Perhaps if a more beautiful flower appears among a group of flowers, the others subconsciously feel a little inferior. Liu Yifei glanced around and uttered a remark:
"come out!"
As if by reflex, Liu Chun immediately stood up from the booth. Liu Chun couldn't help but be stunned. Was the original owner so afraid of Meimei?
However, he himself didn't want to stay in this environment any longer, and the group of women couldn't stop him, silently following him out.
……
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind blew on Liu Chun's face, but he felt refreshed.
"Why are you in a place like this again?"
Liu Yifei looked at him quietly, her pretty face as beautiful as a painting, but her brows were full of disappointment: "Why didn't you go to the audition I arranged for you last time?"
"It's not that I didn't go, it's that the original owner didn't go..." Liu Chun said straightforwardly.
"I forgot."
"Forgot?"
Liu Yifei's deep disappointment deepened: "Brother Chun, you weren't like this before."
"I remember when I was little, you carried me to school on your back, and I rode on your shoulders. Many children envied me back then."
"Later, when I started acting, male celebrities would often come and harass me. You would stand up and drive them away, and you would loudly tell them to stay away from my sister."
"But how did things turn out this way? Why are they so unwilling to even try?"
This time, Liu Chun remained silent because he didn't know how to respond.
He had been struggling in the entertainment industry for over a decade. For the first ten years, due to a lack of resources and connections, he could only work as an extra on film sets, making a living by doing mundane tasks.
Watching her classmates get roles non-stop and make so much money, Liu Chun couldn't help but feel envious. But that's their fate; with connections and influence, they get roles.
So he really couldn't understand why the original owner would waste such a good opportunity and instead go to a bar to have fun.
After a long silence, Liu Yifei said softly:
"There's an audition in a week. It's on the sixth floor of the Directing Department at the Beijing Film Academy. Remember to go; this is the last time."
"I'll also be in this show. If you don't come soon, I'm never scheduling another audition for you."
After saying that, she turned and left, her white sneakers making her steps light and graceful. Her back view was somewhat thin, giving her a cold and fragile appearance.
"She can act too?" Liu Chun couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed that Liu Yifei only acted in two TV series in 02 and 03. One was "Chinese Paladin" and the other was Mr. Jin Yong's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Holy crap, both of them are hugely popular shows!
Liu Chun quickly shouted, "What's the name of the TV series? Let me get ready!"
Liu Yifei paused, then replied softly, "As for Murong Fu from 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' you should just go back and read Mr. Jin Yong's novels."
After saying that, he left immediately.
"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"? Murong Fu? Liu Chun was so excited he almost jumped for joy!
This is one of the male leads! And the complexity of the character is definitely no less than that of Qiao Feng and Duan Yu. If he can play this role well, his future acting career can be said to be smooth sailing!
Liu Chun was in a great mood and strolled back to her residence.
On the way, I bought a copy of the original novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and a DVD of the 97 version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", intending to study it carefully.
The director of the 03 version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was Zhang Jizhong with a big beard. He was known for his volatile temper, and he had already cast many actors. For example, the actor who originally played Murong Fu, Xiu Qing, was the same actor from his previous drama.
So in reality, the role of Murong Fu was already semi-determined, and the so-called audition was just a formality; this opportunity was merely a chance.
But Liu Chun is absolutely not going to give up; she will do her best and have a clear conscience.
By the time he got home, the effects of the alcohol had mostly dissipated. Liu Chun started reading the book, focusing on the parts involving Murong Fu, and delving into the love, hate, and grudges within.
……
The sunlight streamed gently into the room. Liu Chun looked up and was surprised to find that it was already dawn. He had actually been watching all night!
"This character is far too complex."
Liu Chun put down his book wearily. The novel wasn't long; one night was enough for him to finish reading the part about Murong Fu's appearance. That's why he couldn't help but marvel at the complexity and duality of the character.
This is definitely a major challenge in his acting career!
