Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 979 - 968: Best Actor

It turned out that even though Ji Guang’s character left much to be desired, he indeed possessed some skills. Somehow, he managed to help Ye Qiu terminate his contract with Deep Blue Entertainment smoothly and silently, leaving no room for fault.

Once the deal was concluded, Ye Qiu handed over the audio recording and video to Ji Guang.

After taking the items, Ji Guang warned Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu dismissed it indifferently and even threatened him in return, advising him to stop doing evil deeds or he wouldn’t let him off the hook. He also reminded him that just because he doesn’t speak out doesn’t mean others won’t expose it, urging him to cherish his reputation in the future.

Ji Guang didn’t care much about this warning, although he remained wary of Ye Qiu, repeatedly reminding himself never to be alone with Ye Qiu again to avoid falling into a trap.

What he didn’t know was that if Ye Qiu really wanted to deal with him, there would be a myriad of ways. However, Ye Qiu had reached an agreement with him and wouldn’t act as long as he didn’t commit any more offenses. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Ye Qiu watched Ji Guang leave with cold eyes and instructed Little Golden Crow to monitor him. Although he let him off the hook for now, he was determined not to allow anyone else to become Ji Guang’s next victim.

Moreover, the likes of Zhu Li and Qiao Wenxi, who falsely accused him of hiring Water Army against himself, deserved some punishment. Just let them and Ji Guang tear each other apart!

Meanwhile, Zhu Li and Qiao Wenxi were unaware of any of this. Tomorrow, the campus idol drama starring Qiao Wenxi was set to premiere, and they had already hired a Water Army, ready to step on Ye Qiu to climb up once the show started airing.

However, at this moment, "Murder Case" had also reached its final episodes, entering the most thrilling and emotionally charged part of the story.

After leaving Deep Blue Entertainment, Ye Qiu didn’t rush to contact Sweet Orange Entertainment. Instead, he used the last of his money to hire an assistant for himself and went to audition for the next series.

This was a currently popular male power struggle drama. With a large IP, renowned director, and substantial investment, it had attracted much attention from the entertainment industry as soon as the casting call went out. Some veteran actors were even willing to lower their fees to play a supporting role.

Ye Qiu had heard of this drama but knew it was eventually shelved for no reason other than the director never finding the Young Master Yan Xin he had in mind, thus refusing to shoot with regret.

The novel originally told the story of the struggling Jiang Country, under pressure from several surrounding major powers, until the Crown Prince was born under a prophecy from the State Preceptor.

The little Crown Prince, sent to a neighboring country as a hostage soon after birth, had the chance to meet the serene Young Master Yan Xin by accident. Under Yan Xin’s guidance, he grew up step by step into a learned and formidable prince, harboring great ambitions.

However, once the Crown Prince returned to his country, Young Master Yan Xin disappeared. The Crown Prince continuously encountered many willing to serve him, facing numerous obstacles on his path to the throne.

Even the State Preceptor, who once prophesied him as the savior of the nation, opposed his ascension. With Yan Xin’s expectations in mind, the little Crown Prince ascended to power one step at a time, eventually leading his country toward strength.

His achievements were driven by his dream of strength, his responsibility for Jiang Country, and his desire to find Young Master Yan Xin again.

The last time he saw Young Master Yan Xin was during the unification ceremony at the Sacrificial Altar. In the crowd, he instantly spotted him.

No matter where he stood, that person was always the focus, with the same unruffled demeanor, elegance of an immortal, and most striking of all, even after twenty years, he still possessed that same brilliant aura.

Emperor Jiang once thought he was an immortal descended to the mortal realm. Later, he discovered that person’s portrait and used items in the National Master Mansion by chance.

It was then that Emperor Jiang realized that the person who had always opposed him was indeed Young Master Yan Xin, who had taught him. Unfortunately, he only understood after the man disappeared.

To commemorate this teacher and friend, Emperor Jiang built temples everywhere, which did not contain gods or Buddhas but were dedicated to State Preceptor Yan Xin.

From then on, Young Master Yan Xin’s existence became a legend. Some said he was an immortal from the heavens, here specifically to assist Emperor Jiang in unifying the world.

The role of Young Master Yan Xin required not only good looks but an excellent demeanor. In fact, this character was even more captivating than the protagonist. Although his appearances were frequent at first and later mostly masked, the importance of the role was inestimable.

Most importantly, the director demanded that even when masked, Young Master Yan Xin had to exhibit the demeanor of the number one young master of the world, portraying the presence of an immortal.

The male and female leads were finalized, as were most supporting roles. Nevertheless, this novel was the director’s Bai Yueguang, with Young Master Yan Xin being the Bai Yueguang of Bai Yueguang. Unable to find the person he envisioned, the drama was thus shelved.

The director, named Li Gao, was a friend of Ye Qiu’s in his past life. He mentioned that this drama was his heartache and wished he had discovered Ye Qiu earlier.

However, he later admitted that even if he had discovered him earlier, it wouldn’t have been useful. At that time, Ye Qiu was too inexperienced; his acting couldn’t reach the level Li Gao wanted. Yet, Ye Qiu’s acting skills developed later on, though his age no longer fit the role.

Recalling his friend’s words from another life, Ye Qiu gained the confidence to audition. Despite facing numerous current starlets, he wasn’t afraid at all, knowing that perhaps he was the most suitable choice.

Now, he looked like his younger self and possessed the acting skills he acquired later. What could his old friend possibly be dissatisfied with?

Without a management company or agent, Ye Qiu walked into the audition room among many influential young actors. Like many auditioning for Young Master Yan Xin, he wore a simple white shirt and black pants, resembling a straight bamboo.

"Hello everyone, I’m number 23, Ye Qiu, here to audition for Young Master Yan Xin." He respectfully bowed to the judges, succinctly explaining his information, knowing his friend’s personality hated verbosity and trouble, and especially others trying to curry favor with him.

In fact, Li Gao’s personality wasn’t suited for the entertainment industry. However, with his high talent, every film he directed had been hugely successful since his debut, granting him immense creative control over his projects, unchallenged even by investors.

If you didn’t want to invest, you didn’t have to, for there were plenty of others eager to invest.

Thus, when he bought such a major IP and didn’t film it in his previous life, no one could do anything about it—that was his confidence.

In his past life, Ye Qiu also had such confidence, but not now. To quickly rise to fame and establish himself in the entertainment industry, he needed the role of Young Master Yan Xin. He needed the popularity brought by this role to join Sweet Orange Entertainment successfully, while sincerely hoping his old friend could shoot his favorite drama.
