Wei Sama, Let’s Stuff Them with Dog Food

Chapter 114 The Gay Film

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

At three o’clock in the middle of the night, Chen Shan sent Qi Le An a message on QQ with a photo of a little red and wrinkled ball.

Chen Shan said, “It’s a chubby girl of 3.7 kilos.”

Qi Le An picked up his phone and read the message. Too sleepy to reply, he went back to sleep.

He didn’t sleep well because of the disruption, and the next day he went to school with dark circles under his eyes.

Chen Shan’s mother gave a normal childbirth to a baby girl, and the whole family was overjoyed. Three days later, she was discharged from the hospital, and Chen Shan held the little baby girl as if he were the bodyguard of a princess, his face filled with affection.

Qi Le An saw the photo and was lost for words, thinking Chen Shan would become a doting brother.

But soon, Chen Shan was excluded from the team of Protecting the Princess for various reasons. He went to help Qi Le An with the moving in frustration.

“Why don’t they let me stay at home? I just poked the chubby baby.” Chen Shan sat on the sofa and said angrily.

Qi Le An squatted and tape the cardboard boxes in the living room, saying, “Didn’t you make her cry until her voice got hoarse?”

Chen Shan snorted coldly, “I’m trying to exercise her vital capacity.”

Qi Le An was speechless.

Finally, he packed the last box. Qi Le An sat on the chair and took a sip of water, looking at the home he had stayed for a year.

Chen Shan chattered on for a long time before he found no one was listening. He glanced at the living room and said, “Are you done packing up? I’ll call the home-moving company.”

Qi Le An nodded and said, “Okay.”

Chen Shan called the home-moving company with his mobile phone and shifted the topic to his sister, “But that chubby girl looks really ugly. She doesn’t look like me at all.”

Qi Le An looked at Chen Shan speechlessly, wondering what would happen if this guy had a daughter in the future…

‘Does Wei Sama like kids? If yes, isn’t it a tragedy that I can’t give birth to any babies?’

But it seems that we can adopt a child overseas?

Well… I should go check the information when I have time.’

One of them spoke excitedly, and the other thought deeply. The arrival of the moving company interrupted them.

Chen Shan accepted the fact that Qi Le An was going to stay at Wei Chang Feng’s house for a while. On the way to the house, he sighed, “Back then, I wanted to buy a house here, but my mother didn’t want to pay.”

“Oh, I almost forgot… Yin Yan asked us to go to the company tomorrow.”

Qi Le An, who was playing games on the phone, raised his head and asked, “What happened?”

Although he was in Hai City, he seldom went to the company.

“Nothing. Maybe there’s some movie for you. Aren’t you going to have winter vacation?” Chen Shan said, “Besides, the viewing rating of ‘The Disguiser’ is quite good. Maybe there will be a big production for you.”

Hearing this, Qi Le An said, “Do I get more bankable?”

Chen Shan couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “Yes! Why are you getting obosessed with money?”

Qi Le An smiled. It was because he was poor.

The home-moving company spent the afternoon emptying Qi Le An’s flat and piled several big boxes in the living room of his new home. Qi Le An ordered a takeaway meal and ate it with Chen Shan, who impatiently went back home after saying he would come to pick up Qi Le An at nine o’clock the next morning.

Qi Le An squatted in front of the big boxes and took a few pitiful photos, sending them to Wei Chang Feng. “We’re done with moving… There are a lot of things…”

After a while, Wei Chang Feng texted back a smile.

“If you’re not in a hurry, wait for me to go back and unpack for you.”

Qi Le An felt warmth in his heart. It felt great to be doted upon by someone.

The next day, Chen Shan took Qi Le An to the company. Yin Yan asked him to come and discuss about acting during the winter vacation. After he became the most popular star on Weibo, and the viewing rating of ‘The Disguiser’ was good, Qi Le An had more fame than those he had in his last life. Yin Yan’s plan started to work, and the scripts for Qi Le An were getting better.

“See if you like any of the three.” Yin Yan gave Qi Le An synopses of three scripts and said, “The teams are very good.”

Qi Le An looked down and saw that Yin Yan gave him a TV drama script and two film scripts.

“It is a family drama, but the scriptwriter is very famous. The cast that has been confirmed is very experienced. Besides, it happens to have a role fitting your age. I think you can give it a try.” Yin Yan said, when he saw that Qi Le An chose to read the TV script first.

Qi Le An nodded. He remembered this TV drama, which did not make a hit in his last life. It was the kind of TV drama that people would forget about it after watching.

So he put the script aside and picked up another one.

After reading it, he picked up the third one.

Ten Minutes later, he put all three scripts on the table. Yin Yan was surprised. “Don’t you like any of them?”

Qi Le An didn’t know how to put it. There was nothing wrong about these three scripts at first glance, and the crew was normal. However, according to his memory, none of them would be a hit.

He could only spare limited time every year to act… He felt these scripts were not worthy.

Chen Shan also frowned. In the end, Qi Le An said, “Mr. Yin… I don’t think these scripts have any selling points.”

Yin Yan was dismayed. The scripts he gave Qi Le An indeed had such a problem. However, there was nothing good recently… unless…

Yin Yan was struggling between different thoughts.

Qi Le An said, “I think I can wait.”

Yin Yan rose from the sofa and walked to the desk, pulling out a sheaf of documents from the high pile of files.

Qi Le An looked up at Yin Yan and asked, “Mr. Yin?” ‘Is he angry with me?’

Yin Yan gave the script to Qi Le An and said, “Take a look at this.”

Qi Le An opened it and glanced at the synopsis of the script, startled.

Chen Shan leaned over and read it. After a few seconds, he abruptly stood up. “What’s this? We can’t accept it. Boss, are you kidding?”

Yin Yan looked at Qi Le An’s expression and said, “The producer has been pestering me for two months, wishing Xiao An could act in it.”

“Impossible,” Chen Shan rejected.

Yin Yan smiled bitterly, “Actually… this movie has great potentials.”

Chen Shan asked angrily, “What’s the use of it? This kind of thing can’t be released at all, okay?”

“There is a chance for awards,” Yin Yu said, “Isn’t it better to win an award? An, what do you think?”

Both of them looked at Qi Le An, who was silent. He raised his head and looked hesitant.

“I don’t think it’s impossible.”

“Qi Le An! Are you out of your mind?” Chen Shan’s veins were bulging in anger.

“No, An, you have to think about it. This movie is a bit pornographic,” Yin Yan advised.

“Pornographic?” Chen Shan was even angrier when he heard this, asking, “Why did you choose a pornographic movie for him?”

Yin Yan was baffled. In the beginning, he didn’t take this movie into consideration at all. Only when Qi Le An said the other scripts had no selling points did Yin Yan think of it suddenly. However, this kind of movies required the actors to make great sacrifices.

Yin Yan hesitated.

“I want to read the script carefully,” Qi Le An said.

Chen Shan was fuming. Yin Yan nodded. “Okay. You take it back and read. If you have any ideas, contact me anytime.”

Qi Le An smiled at Yin Yan and put the script into his bag.

Chen Shan was exasperated.

On the way back, Chen Shan didn’t say a word to Qi Le An. Seeing that he was angry, Qi Le An quickly comforted him, “Chen Shan, I’ll just read it first!”

Chen Shan immediately said, “Why are you reading it? Do you know how people think about gay people? If you choose this movie, you are driving me crazy!”

Qi Le An said helplessly, “Chen Shan, don’t discriminate against those people.”

Chen Shan stepped abruptly on the brake and the car stopped in front of the red light. Qi Le An leaned forward because of the sudden halt and was pulled back by the seatbelt.

“This is not a matter of discrimination! Why should I discriminate against gay people? This is a matter of your career path!”

“You are a high school student, and the image you create is young and exuberant! If you go act in this kind of movie, will you survive in this industry?”

“Don’t talk about the awards. If the theme is the main reason that a movie wins any awards, it isn’t a good movie. Besides, is this the only way to win an award? Why don’t you try other ways?”

“In short, I won’t allow you to do that.”

The traffic light turned green, and Chen Shan stepped on the accelerator and drove forward. Qi Le An smiled bitterly. It seemed that it was impossible to get Chen Shan agree to this.

But what Chen Shan said made sense.

Chen Shan sullenly drove Qi Le An back, and he did not stay long. Looking at the cardboard boxes alone in the living room, Qi Le An couldn’t help taking out from his bag the script given by Yin Yan.

The script was called “Someone Likes Blue”, and it was about the love story of two men with a tragic ending.

Qi Le An had not paid attention to this movie in his previous life, but he knew that among the gay films in the mainland, this movie had been top-notch.

In the quiet afternoon, Qi Le An lay on the sofa, enjoying the warm sunlight of Hai City and flipping through the script.

Thousands of miles away in Province S, the air was dry and cold, which was typical of the north. The cold gale blew off the frost on the dry withered grass on both sides of the road. Gary handed a thick military coat to Wei Chang Feng, who had finished filming his part. The military coat was filled with self-warming pads, which brought a trace of warmth to him in the winter.

About ten meters away from the director’s shed, some crew members started a fire, and the flames brought the only color in the world. Wei Chang Feng walked to the hibachi, and an actor quickly stood up to give him a seat.

“Wei Sama, please sit here!”

Apart from Wei Chang Feng, the other actors in the crew were all obscure. Some of them were still struggling in the entertainment industry in their fifties and sixties, while some were young in their twenties. Although they were not famous yet, they had good acting skills.

Wei Chang Feng has never been in such a crew before. The quality of the movies that he had chosen before was absolutely excellent, and the cast was famous. Therefore, he felt ill at ease in the beginning.

But he was Wei Chang Feng after all.

“It’s okay. I’ll stand here for a while,” Wei Chang Feng wrapped in a military coat said to the actor who played a village hooligan in the movie.

Seeing that Wei Chang Feng refused to sit down, the actor stood beside with him. The two of them were getting warmth fromt he fire and chatting casually.

“Wei Sama, why did you choose this movie? When I saw your name in the cast, I was shocked. “Huo Hai asked curiously.

Wei Chang Feng smiled and said, “Someone thought this script is good, so he recommended it to me.”

Huo Hai was curious, but Wei Chang Feng would not like to continue. Gary hurried back from a phone call and said to Wei Chang Feng, “Wei Sama!”

Wei Chang Feng left the hibachi, and Gary said, “Director Guan has come, and he wants to meet you.”

Wei Chang Feng frowned, thinking of the director that he had only met once, and asked, “Didn’t I refuse him already?”

Gary said with a strange expression, “I heard that Director Guan also sent a script to Lie Feng.”

Wei Chang Feng paused and then said, “Okay. I’ll meet him then.”
