“That’s really good!” Tang Hao smiled.
Ling Wei smiled and said, “It’s not bad! It can’t be compared to Haotian. You are famous all over Dongying; that’s amazing! Sooner or later, you will be famous all over the world.”
“I hope that is true!” Tang Hao said.
Tang Hao opened the door of his apartment and walked into the kitchen. He put down the bags in his hands and was about to start cooking.
Ling Wei walked over and hugged him from behind.
She hugged him very tightly as if he would disappear if she let go.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao said softly.
She did not say anything but gently pressed her cheek against his shoulder. After a long time, she muttered, “Don’t move. Let me hug you properly, just like this.”
As she said that, she lazily rubbed her cheek against his and lazily closed her eyes.
“I’ve been thinking… how blissful would it be if I can hug you like that and rest my head on your shoulder!”
“Silly!” Tang Hao said softly.
She wrinkled her delicate nose and said, “I’m not silly!” As she said that, she grunted, pulled away Tang Hao’s collar, and bit the back of his neck.
However, her movements were very gentle, as though she was licking him.
Tang Hao’s whole body shuddered.
As she smelled the fragrance of plants from his body, her breathing became faster, and her cheeks became redder.
She could not control herself. She leaned down again and kissed the back of his neck gently.
Her starry eyes closed slightly and gradually became misty and emotional.
Her body, clinging to Tang Hao’s back, also became hot.
“Hao! You can cook later!” She said emotionally.
She turned Tang Hao around and kissed him.
Soon, a turbulent scene happened in the kitchen.
After a long time, they finally calmed down.
She covered herself with a blanket and curled up on the couch in the living room. Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, she could not help but smile sweetly.
To her, she did not expect long-term companionship. Brief moments of joy were enough to comfort her.
After a while, she got up and took a shower.
When she came out in her bathrobe, the dishes were ready.
“Mmm! It’s so delicious!”
Her eyes lit up every time she tried a dish.
“Hao! What are we doing later?” She asked as she ate. Her lips were smeared with grease.
“Later? I want to teach you something. Do you want to learn it?” Tang Hao said.
“What is it?”
“Cultivation!” Tang Hao said.
She was surprised. “… Really?”
“Yes! Do you want to learn it?”
“Of course I want to learn it!” She picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and began to chew.
Tang Hao smiled as he watched. He wiped her mouth with a napkin.
Her face immediately turned red, and she stammered, “This… is too delicious!”
“Then you should eat more!” Tang Hao laughed.
“Oh!”
She responded softly and began to eat again. She was stuffed when she put her chopsticks down.
After she was done, Tang Hao sat down and spent the rest of the night teaching her how to cultivate. At one o’clock in the morning, she dragged him to bed.
It had been a tiring night, and she slept soundly.
When she woke up early the next day, she was full of energy.
“Wow! It’s different! I feel so energetic now!” She said in surprise.
“Do you remember what I said last night?”
“Yes, don’t worry!” She turned her head, kissed him, and got out of bed. She put on some light makeup and looked radiant and energetic.
After sending her away, Tang Hao packed up and went to class until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, he rushed to Haotian Pictures to check the progress of the movie.
The shooting had been completed a long time ago, and the post-production was coming to an end. It would be in time for the Lunar New Year period.
After another inspection, Tang Hao decided, “Next, let’s shoot a TV series!”
“Sure! What are we shooting?” Manager Zhuo was instantly excited. “We have a lot of scripts now. Family drama, espionage, martial arts, fantasy, everything!”
“How about a historical fantasy coming-of-age drama? That’ll be a surefire hit among the youth!”
“Good idea, Chairman Tang!” Manager Zhuo flattered him.
“We happen to have such a script. It’s one of the shortlisted scripts. We even discussed the roles and did a lot of preparatory work.
“Wu Tian shall be the male lead! That young man has been performing well recently! As for the female lead… we have someone in mind too.”
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Hao with a peculiar gaze.
“Who is it?”
“That very popular singer!”
Manager Zhuo winked mischievously as if he expected Tang Hao to know who he was talking about.
“Ahem! Her?”
Tang Hao suddenly felt awkward. “Why did you think of her?”
He was about to recommend her, but he did not expect Manager Zhuo to have the same idea.
Manager Zhuo chuckled and said mischievously, “I know what you’re thinking, Chairman Tang! You’re still young, so it’s OK for you to be flirtatious.
“She suits the role very well. Don’t worry, Chairman Tang. There are no kissing scenes, and we can even use a stand-in for the hugging scenes. I’ve already thought of all that for you.”
“I see! Then let’s shoot this script and cast her in that role!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright! Don’t worry, Chairman Tang!”
After that conversation, they started to cast the actors.
Tang Hao gave Sis Meiting a call to let her know.
That night, Bing Yao called him.
“Um… thank you!”
“You don’t have to thank me! You’re so famous now. We’re honored to have you star in our series.”
She chuckled. “I’ve never acted before. Please don’t be too harsh on me! Of course, I’ll work hard.”
“You can do it!” Tang Hao said.
“Mm, OK!” She said.
“Oh, right, I’ll be in the series too,” Tang Hao said.
“Oh? What’s your role?”
“A corpse! I’m a professional corpse actor!”
She was taken aback momentarily, then she burst out laughing and did not stop giggling for a long time.
“It’s getting late. Go to sleep! Good night!” Tang Hao said softly.
“Yes! Good night!”
She said softly and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Then, she leaned back and lay on the bed.
She picked up the phone and looked at the wallpaper. She pursed her lips into a smile and muttered, “I’ll work very hard until one day, I can stand with you.”
After staring at it for a long time, she turned off the light and fell into a deep sleep.
Chapter 768 - Acting As A Corpse
In the morning, Tang Hao went to class.
As soon as he arrived at the front gate, he realized that there was something wrong in the air.
“That’s Tang Hao! Tang Hao is here!”
Someone cried out in surprise, and the entire front gate was in an uproar.
They all looked at Tang Hao at the same time with sparkling eyes. Then, they swarmed over excitedly.
“Tang Hao! Do you need actors for your TV series? Can I be an extra?”
“Look, Tang Hao, do you think that I can be a villain?”
A group of people surrounded Tang Hao and chattered.
More and more people poured out of the university gate with excited expressions.
The enthusiasm almost drowned Tang Hao.
“Don’t ge
t too excited! Hey, don’t touch me! I’m not that kind of person!”
Tang Hao pushed forward with all his might. As he struggled, his clothes became disheveled.
With great difficulty, Tang Hao managed to squeeze through the crowd and was about to walk to the academic building. As he turned a corner, he bumped into a person. The person shrieked and fell to the ground in a very exaggerated manner.
She sat on the ground, clutching her ankle, and wailed in pain.
“Wait, why does this scene seem familiar?”
Tang Hao looked closely at the girl. It was Su Yuchen.
She sat there with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.
“She’s really an actress!”
Tang Hao sighed to himself.
“What happened to you, Senior? You’re injured again! Don’t worry, I’ll give you a massage!”
Tang Hao quickly crouched down, grabbed her leg, and gently pressed it. He placed her leg down and was about to leave.
“Hey! Tang Hao, don’t go! Quickly help your senior up!” She hurriedly shouted.
Tang Hao pulled her up. “Ow!” She lost her balance again and fell onto Tang Hao’s body.
“Dammit, what a schemer!”
“Shameless vixen, how dare you seduce my Prince Charming!”
Some girls in the surrounding crowd cursed angrily.
The boys were extremely envious.
After all, Su Yuchen was one of the most beautiful girls from the art faculty. Her skin was fair and beautiful, and she was at least an eight.
They had wished that such a beautiful girl would fall into their arms!
Unfortunately, her standards were too high.
“Please have some self-respect, Senior. I’m not that kind of person!” Tang Hao said righteously.
“I can’t walk anymore, Tang Hao. Can you carry me in?” She said coyly.
“Damn, that’s too shameless!”
The surrounding girls could not stand it anymore.
“Ahem! You want a role, right? Just go to the studio for the audition and mention my name. You’ll be selected if you have the talent. Otherwise, don’t blame me!”
When she heard that, she immediately straightened her back. Her legs no longer hurt, and her waist no longer felt sore.
“Thank you!”
She pursed her lips into a smile, kissed Tang Hao on the cheek, and left.
“F*ck! She’s really an actress!” Tang Hao muttered.
He wiped away the lipstick on his cheek and quickly ran away.
“Tang Hao, don’t go! I want to go to the audition too!” A group of people chased after him.
He hid in the classroom, but he was immediately surrounded by Cao Fei and the others.
“Fine! All of you can go to the audition!” Tang Hao announced. Finally, he was spared from the chaos.
“It’s so troublesome to be famous!”
Tang Hao sat down and lamented to himself.
Fortunately, that was only limited to the university. Once he left the gate, no one would know him.
“Thank goodness for that!” He was somewhat glad.
The next day, the director brought his crew over, and the entire university was in an uproar. Even Cao Fei and the others went.
However, in the end, they only managed to score background roles.
As for Su Yuchen, she was signed onto a minor role.
“It’s OK. Every great actor starts as a cameo,” Cao Fei comforted himself.
Production for the series had already begun. After signing the actors, they chose a date and started filming.
On that day, in the film studio.
They were currently shooting a fight scene.
Naturally, there would be corpses in the scene.
“Where are the corpses? Come here quickly and lie down! Don’t waste time!”
The director shouted through the megaphone.
Soon, a group of people walked over. They were wearing tattered armor, arrows pierced their bodies, and they were covered in bright red blood. The makeup artists had done a good job.
The director was quite impatient, but when he glanced at the group, his expression changed.
“Oh, Chairman Tang, you’re here today! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Take your time to lie down, don’t worry. Find a good angle so that the camera can capture your heroic appearance.
“Later, I’ll give you a close-up! You’ll be very handsome!”
The director, the assistant director, and the production staff came up eagerly to suck up to him.
That was the big boss of Haotian Group!
Even so, they nonetheless felt it was quite annoying.
It was difficult to suck up to someone in a corpse get-up!
How could a corpse look heroic? Even the director was embarrassed when he said that.
‘Chairman Tang’s preferences are so strange. He’s handsome and has a good demeanor, so he should have been the male lead. He’ll definitely be popular and gain a lot of fangirls.’
However, Tang Hao only liked to act as a corpse. They could not fit him in more scenes.
The other actors also came over.
“You’re really handsome today, Boss Tang!”
“In my many years of acting, I’ve never seen such a handsome corpse!”
They also started to suck up to him.
Cao Fei, standing next to Tang Hao, rolled his eyes.
‘Are these people blind! How could a corpse be handsome? Our faces are covered by a thick layer of make-up! Handsome my *ss!
‘Those people were too shameless!’
He cursed angrily in his heart, but when he turned his head, he smiled at Tang Hao. “Brother Hao, you’re really handsome today!”
Liu Bingyao, who was resting at the side, burst out laughing.
She was wearing a white dress, and the hem of her dress fluttered in the wind, which made her look divine.
“Come, everyone, get ready!”
After a round of flattery, the director picked up the megaphone and shouted.
Then, the actors took their positions and stood on two sides.
Tang Hao and the other corpses walked to the middle and lay down.
“Careful, Chairman Tang. There’s no hurry!”
“Ha! Look at him, what a great pose! As expected of Chairman Tang! Awesome! Give him a close-up!
“Why are you all laughing! What do you know? Acting as a corpse also requires skills. Look at him, he’s not moving at all. That proves that Chairman Tang has amazing willpower.
“Look at that useless bum beside him. He’s twitching a little. He’s already dead, so how can he still move?”
Cao Fei originally wanted to laugh, but when he heard that, his expression froze.
Tang Hao smiled when he heard that.
Chapter 769 - Tang Hao Became A Sensation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The film set was bustling with activity.
After the chaotic battle scenes, it was time for the female lead to fight against a group of heretical villains.
Tang Hao, Cao Fei, and the rest crouched in a corner, watching as they ate hot lunch boxes.
A figure dressed in white was dangling on wires in the air. She flew around gracefully, like a fairy.
“Wow! Beauty Queen Liu is so beautiful!”
Cao Fei and the others were smitten.
“Brother Hao, are you and Beauty Queen Liu…”
“No!” Tang Hao said.
“Tch!”
Cao Fei immediately revealed a look of disdain. Why did he cast Beauty Queen Liu as the female lead if there was nothing? Back at the concert, the two of them were exchanging glances on stage. Something must be going on.
“Let’s go!” Tang Hao closed the lunchbox and threw it into the trash can. Then, he walked to the side and washed his face.
At that moment, a figure walked in from not far away.
“A photo here, and a photo there!”
She was using her phone to take photos of everything.
She was very excited. This was Haotian’s first television series! It was a historical fantasy coming-of-age drama starring a popular female singer. That would make for a good topic.
When the news was released a while ago, it attracted a lot of attention.
However, like the other production crews, they kept the filming a secret. No reporters could take any photos, and she had to rely on many connections to get in.
“Wow! The props are so good. As expected of Haotian. They’re so rich!
“Wow! That’s the female lead? She looks so beautiful!”
She kept taking photos and exclaimed from time to time.
“Eh? That’s a minor character, right? A corpse?”
As she continued taking photos, she saw a person standing in front of the faucet not far away.
She glanced at his costume and revealed a look of disdain.
That was a background character who was at the bottom of the hierarchy. She could not even be bothered to take his photo.
She was about to shift her gaze away.
However, at that moment, that person splashed his face with water, wiped his face, and raised his head.
The water washed away the dirty makeup, revealing his handsome face.
His face was sharp, his eyebrows were straight and thin, his irises were dark and animated, like a pair of inky stars.
She was instantly stunned, and her mouth opened wide.
‘Oh my god! He’s so handsome!’ She was infatuated.
At that moment, the man splashed his face with water again and lifted his face. When the sunlight hit his face, it was as though his entire being was shrouded in light. It was too dazzling.
She was completely stunned, and her mind went blank.
‘That’s the costume of a corpse, right? He’s just an extra, right?
‘How could an extra be so handsome and imposing?’
‘Is the production crew blind? Why would they cast such a handsome man as a corpse?’
There was a hint of blitheness in that elegance. He was a heartthrob!
She was indignant. She felt pity and injustice for that handsome man.
‘Ah! I guess nobody notices him! I want to take a picture of him and make him famous! With his face, he’ll definitely become extremely famous!’
She was excited. She took a lot of pictures with her phone.
