Chapter 897: Chapter 879: Making Money So You Can Be a Rich Wife! (Part 1)
Lu Xun is a very easy-going person.
This is the biggest takeaway Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng had from today’s audition.
On the subway back to school, Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng stood in a crowded corner, enthusiastically chatting about Lu Xun.
It was the first time both Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi had met him today.
This 26-year-old young director left a pretty good impression on both Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi.
"Actually, when I privately chatted with him on WeChat last night, I already felt he was someone who was easy to talk to. Plus, he’s young, so he could catch the jokes I threw at him. It felt like there was no generation gap between us."
Huo Feng wrapped his arm around Pu Sangzhi’s body, holding the subway handrail with one hand, as he spoke, "Last night, we had a good chat. Although I was a bit reserved back then. At the audition today, the moment I saw him, I felt at ease. That’s when I thought I nailed it! You see, he’s straightforward and gave you an opportunity just because he thought you were pretty."
"Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, embracing Huo Feng’s waist with both hands, speaking as she leaned against him, "When I first saw him, I also thought he looked young. Do you think, at such a young age, he would become a director all by himself without learning from older directors for a few years?"
"Seems like he’s a rich second generation."
Huo Feng lowered his head, whispering to Pu Sangzhi, "I searched Baidu and found out that his dad is the head of a trade center, the family should be quite wealthy. Look at his casual style today, everything he’s wearing is branded. That watch on his wrist, my dad would have to save for six months to afford it."
Pu Sangzhi was instantly astonished, her mouth forming an ’O’ shape, "He’s that rich?"
"Yeah~"
Huo Feng shook Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, baring his teeth as he said, "Honey, we’re so poor~ In a place like Beijing where there are rich people everywhere, I feel so inferior~"
Pu Sangzhi looked up at his exaggerated, distorted face and couldn’t help but laugh, "Hey, Beijing isn’t full of rich people. Just look around, there are so many people struggling here!"
"Then how come everyone I meet is rich?" Huo Feng pouted.
Sometimes fate is just that unfair...
Back in Tangxia, Rui’an, Wenzhou city, Zhejiang Province, Huo Feng’s family was quite well off!
Even though they didn’t own a factory, they still had both money and influence, a family with a lot of face!
Back then, Huo Feng, walked around with ten attendants, giving off the aura of a young master!
And then he came to Beijing...
Gu Yihao and Gu Erhao’s monthly allowance was double his...
Yong Mu’s family home had a huge swimming pool...
You Xinran was either rich or noble...
And now, the director he clicked with was also someone experiencing life as a rich second generation...
Really...
In Beijing, there are just so many born with a silver spoon in their mouth!
Huo Feng was envious~
"Who says everyone you meet is rich, isn’t my family poor?" Pu Sangzhi retorted against Huo Feng.
"But you’re different, honey."
Huo Feng pinched Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, "If your family was rich, I would feel even more inferior! Luckily, you used to be poor, otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to chase you~"
"Hmph!"
Pu Sangzhi, annoyed, punched his chest lightly.
"Hehe, I didn’t mean it like that, honey..."
Huo Feng smiled with his lips curled, "I’m saying it’s a blessing that when I met you, you weren’t the daughter of some Shanghai tycoon. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to pursue you. Luckily, I met you when you were down and out! Heaven arranged it perfectly!"
Huo Feng suddenly got a bit sentimental, even if his words were a bit blunt, his meaning was clear.
Pu Sangzhi pondered over his words, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Huo Feng’s hypothetical scenario was quite interesting.
He didn’t dare chase a girl with a better family background than his, yet he could chase after her, burdened with huge debts.
Back then, when her family was shouldering massive debts, he didn’t avoid or abandon her, but stayed by her side to face it together.
Although his capabilities were limited, he used his not-so-broad shoulders to support her...
While he could share her burdens, he dared not dream of wealthier families.
It was clear just how good his character was?
Huo Feng...
A young man as radiant as light.
A bright and shining man.
Pu Sangzhi couldn’t be more grateful that heaven arranged such a good man like Huo Feng for her!
He’s a ray of light in a sea of people!
He is incredibly precious!
"Honey, I will definitely work hard to earn money and become someone successful. So that you can comfortably be a lady of a wealthy family in the future!"
Huo Feng’s ambition now knows no bounds!
Fearless like a young calf that’s not afraid of a tiger, he couldn’t wait to get into society and carve out a world of his own.
He actually envied those born with a silver spoon, but although envious, he also believed in his ability to achieve those things.
Even if he wasn’t born with a silver spoon, he still had the ability to conquer the world.
This was another good quality of Huo Feng.
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi quietly hugged him tighter, and in his embrace, she only uttered, "Let’s work hard together."
Our future will definitely be good!
...
At six in the evening, Huo Feng went back to the Musical Club to rehearse "Phantom of the Opera".
The "Phantom of the Opera" musical is very grand and majestic! The rehearsal difficulty is also very high!
To faithfully reproduce the original "Phantom of the Opera" musical, all students sing English during the performance!
The Phantom of the Opera Musical Club rehearses it every year, so for veteran members, the characters remain the same, the lyrics and lines remain unchanged, the blocking is unchanged, and the scenes remain the same, like a review.
But for newly joined actors, having lines is already a big challenge.
And among them, the biggest challenge was for Huo Feng!
Because Huo Feng plays the second male lead, practically the face of the club!
Huo Feng was actually tricked.
After acting as the lead with You Xinran last time, he requested not to play the main role in future performances or promo clips.
After that, he was given the second male lead role.
But in fact, even if he hadn’t made that request, he would definitely be the second male lead in "Phantom of the Opera"!
The senior who had always played the main role, before leaving the club, played the second male lead in "Phantom of the Opera".
The reason is simple, because the second male lead is the face of the club, and a good-looking guy is needed to play it!
In "Phantom of the Opera", the male lead has a disfigured face. When the heroine first saw the ugly face under the mask, she was terrified.
Whereas in "Phantom of the Opera", the second male lead is handsome and charming, and when the heroine first encounters him, she has a pretty good impression.
Thus, due to the role setting, the good-looking Huo Feng was destined to play the second male lead!
And tonight, when Huo Feng truly started rehearsing his scenes with You Xinran, he discovered a terrifying plot point—kissing!
The script didn’t mention it.
At least, the script that Lin Cong gave to Huo Feng didn’t mention kissing, it only mentioned hugging.
However, that evening, before starting the rehearsal, Huo Feng and You Xinran watched a segment of the original "Phantom of the Opera" musical with the second male lead and the heroine...
That’s when he realized, in the original "Phantom of the Opera", the second male lead and the heroine have to kiss!
And it’s not just once, it’s at least three times!
Because in the original "Phantom of the Opera", there are also many romantic scenes between the second male lead and the heroine.
In one scene, the heroine, filled with fear of the male lead, sings a soliloquy, and the second male lead appears to comfort her, embracing her multiple times, singing ’love you’ to her multiple times, followed by two kissing scenes...
While watching the segment, Huo Feng started to purse his lips and frown...
After the segment played, Huo Feng stood there, motionless for a while. He pondered on how he could cut out these kissing scenes, just hugging was already his limit!
"Have you memorized all the songs and lines?" You Xinran asked him.
"Uh..." Huo Feng replied.
At the time, the MP3 Lin Cong sent him, Huo Feng practiced...
But he hadn’t watched the original "Phantom of the Opera" musical video...
If he had watched it, would he have dared to take on the second male lead role!
"Then let’s start rehearsing." You Xinran said.
"Hey..."
Huo Feng hurriedly called out to You Xinran, "Let’s just act according to the script, not the original version."
"Of course, we need it to highly resemble the original."
You Xinran spoke righteously, "Is this the first time you’ve watched the original video? Finding it difficult?"
"Not difficult." Huo Feng said.
He gritted his teeth, although it was a little hard to say, he still admitted, "To be honest, the kissing scenes... I just can’t..."
"What, afraid your girlfriend would get jealous again?" You Xinran questioned teasingly.
"Don’t bring up my wife."
Huo Feng raised his hand, "I just can’t get over this hurdle in myself... I can’t bring myself to kiss you..."
Huo Feng just upfront said it.
He couldn’t kiss any woman other than Pu Sangzhi with his mouth.
This loyalty, unique to Pu Sangzhi, would not allow him to do so!
