The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man Chapter 40.2

Shen Qingshu thought about it all night and then reluctantly deleted his newly posted campus romance. He didn't lose confidence in his campus romance, but in consideration that the local tyrant who gifted him space stations every day could not accept it after reading his novel. Wouldn't other readers be more unaccepting if his side account was revealed one day?

Although as a new author, he can't understand Car God's resistance to this novel, since the readers don't like it, he doesn't need to forcefully go against the wishes of the readers.

So after some thinking, Shen Qingshu deleted it. There was currently no inspiration for Su Qing and Cheng Han's BL campus romance, so he decided to take a break and continue writing two days later.

Shen Qingshu turned off the computer; got out of bed, took a bath, read through the script again, turned off the light and went to bed.

The next morning, the crew officially started.

Shen Qingshu and Bai Xuege went to wish for good luck together.3 Then accompanied by Zhou Jianming to go down to the dressing room and asked the makeup artist to start styling him.

Boys' make up is relatively simple. In addition, he is not the male lead, so the makeup didn't take long and can be left to the last minute.

Shen Qingshu asked the makeup artist to put on makeup while he browsed weibo.

At this time, the official weibo of the crew has already sent out the start up photos and the makeup and costume photos of the cast. Actor fans and book fans are actively commenting and scrambling to express their opinions.

“Bai Xuege is so handsome. He is worthy of being the snow prince. It is too suitable for Jiang Nan.”

“So handsome, so handsome, so handsome Jiang Nan, I like it very much. From now on the male leads of campus romance novels will be imagined with his face.”

“Both male and female leads are handsome and beautiful. Will this be this year's campus romance drama with the highest attractiveness index?”

“Not only the male and female lead, but also the supporting actors are super attractive too. Meng Xiangwen is very handsome. Has this little brother played anything before? Can his fans recommend his works?”

“No, I searched through the actor's weibo. He seems to be a newcomer, there aren't any posts on his weibo.”

“Ah, I also noticed Meng Xiangwen. Take a good look at the makeup photos. I hope it's not a beauty created by editing. There are too many fake photos these days.”

“It shouldn't be a trick. I went to see Shen Qingshu's view. There is a short video where he looks exactly the same. Super youthful..”

“Really? I'll go check now, hopefully it's not a filter. I love authentic handsome men!”

“Also hoping, I like Meng Xiangwen best in the book. I beg him to be authentically handsome!”

Shen Qingshu scrolled through these comments and felt relieved. He is not fake.

His appearance has been tested by the market. Children and old people also feel favourable to his looks. Otherwise, how can he become popular before his transmigration?

You just wait for the TV series to come out, and I will surprise all of you explosively!

Shen Qingshu secretly smiled and put away his mobile phone with satisfaction.

While he is happy because of the comments, naturally other people are unhappy because of the comments.

“Who is this Sun Xuan? I haven't heard of him. Has he appeared in anything before?”

“Woo woo, my Qiu Jia, I don't admit that he looks like this!”

“Although I know it's too much to expect all the characters to be handsome guys, After looking at Bai Xuege on the left and Shen Qingshu on the right. Why is only Jiajia not a handsome guy?”

“The contrast is too strong. I, a Qiu Jia fan, can't stand it. Jiang Nan, I'm here. Mom loves you now!!”

“I also want to climb the wall. Originally, I liked Meng Xiangwen and Jiajia in the book. Now this casting is making me unable to support him with Meng Xiangwen!”

“Since they are all newcomers, why can't Jiajia's character have a good looking newcomer like Shen Qingshu? Is it because Jiajia doesn't have as many scenes? Fans are crying.”

Looking at these critical hit comments, Sun Xuan was so angry that he asked the agent to buy water army3 on the spot to press down the book fan comments.

He looked back at Shen Qingshu who was putting on makeup. What's so handsome about this little white face?

A group of blind people can't even dinguish who is authentically handsome!

Also! Who is a newcomer like Shen Qingshu? !

He has been on the road for more than a year and has made three works. Don't compare him with Shen Qingshu. He doesn't deserve it!

Sun Xuan looked disdainfully at Shen Qingshu not far away through the mirror, lowered his head and began to send wechat messages to his girlfriend.

He has to urge Su Luo to give Shen Qingshu's scenes to him as soon as possible. Make it so that when the finished product comes out, Shen Qingshu's screen time will only be five minutes. He wants to see if the book fans that said “Love, love, turned into fans” on weibo today will still stay as his fans.

To put it bluntly, actors need to rely on screen time for people to remember them. Without any, they are nothing.

Shen Qingshu left the dressing room after putting on makeup and went to the set again.

Bai Xuege was playing with his mobile phone. Seeing him coming from a distance, he immediately put away the phone and picked up the script. Back becoming ramrod straight on the spot, looking like a serious and responsible actor!

Qin Yingyang watched him turn from a sea slug into an animal with a spine. She was about to ask him what was the matter, when she saw Shen Qingshu not far away.

Qin Yingyang: …

“Is this necessary?” She asked Bai Xuege.

“Of course.” Bai Xuege shook this script, “You don't understand.”

He's an idol!

Which idol has no idol baggage!

He must show his best in front of his lovely little fans!

Otherwise, it's too disappointing.

Qin Yingyang looked at his sudden hypocrisy for love and felt that she really didn't understand. How could she understand the thoughts of a minor in the middle stages of chuuni?

After meeting twice!

He fell in love!

Not only will he go to bed early and get up early to maintain the best mental state for his love.

Now when the other party arrives, he hypocritically pretends to be a serious actor. Aren't you tired?

“Don't you dislike the hypocrisy and vanity of us adults? What are you doing now?”

“It's different!” Bai Xuege looked at her, “I'm trying to maintain my beautiful image in his heart and not break his fantasies.”

Qin Yingyang: ? ? ?

“Can I  ask what fantasies he has? How do you know what they are?”

“I'm so smart that I can see through anything.” Bai Xuege puffed up in pride, “Of course, you don't understand. You're too insensitive.”

“You're very sensitive. You've fallen in love, of course you're sensitive!”

“It's not what you think!” Bai Xuege looked at her discontentedly, “Don't always think nonsense. Although I know women like to daydream often, you are thinking too much now.”

Qin Yingyang: …

Qin Yingyang helplessly stretched out a finger: “First, don't discriminate against women. Especially your agent.”

“Second, this better not be what I think. It is You're not yet an adult. It's forbidden to have puppy love and it's even more forbidden to have puppy love with adults. Otherwise, be careful that I beat the mandarin ducks. So you can experience that adults are not only hypocrites, but also cruel.”

“I already know, so you can let go of the mandarin ducks.”

Qin Yingyang: …

Qin Yingyang regretted for the 10,000th time that her motherly instincts ran rampant at that time. How could she have been willing to be Bai Xuege's agent at that time! She must be crazy!

Shen Qingshu drifted into the set, sat down with Zhou Jianming in the rest area, took out the script and began to read over the scenes he was going to shoot today.

He didn't have many today, mainly with the female lead Su Luo and the male lead Bai Xuege.

Shen Qingshu looked up and noticed that Su Luo had arrived and was talking to the director. He wanted to practice with Su Luo in advance. Now it seems that he has to wait.

Zhou Jianming followed his gaze and asked him, “Are you nervous? Filming is about to begin.”

Shen Qingshu shook his head.

There's nothing to be nervous about. Although he's transmigrated into a novel, from the perspective of time, it hasn't been too long since his last filming. As if he followed the rhythm of normal rest and working on his next play. He's used to it.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Jianming thought he was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. Laughing as he said, “You don't have any previous experience, so you don't think it's difficult to film. The first time the company's senior sister came to shoot, she was like a dragon before shooting. After shooting, she was like a worm. Once you're under the camera, your legs will feel weak.”

“There was such a thing?” Shen Qingshu asked in surprise.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“There are many such cases, or each line feels as heavy as a mountain. But you don't have to be too nervous. I have already informed the director that this is your first film, so he won't be too harsh and will guide you.”

As soon as Zhou Jianming finished speaking, the director waved Shen Qingshu over.

Shen Qingshu hurried over and heard the director ask him, “Have you memorized your lines?”

“Yes”

“That's good. It's your first time filming, isn't it?”

“Sort of.” Only in this world.

“Then you should concentrate and get into the character's mood first. Your current mood should not only be reluctant to give up and be sad, but also open-minded to bear the pain of giving up your love. If you're struggling, just call cut and I'll give you time to get in the mood.”

“Understood.”

“Xiao Su, you too. Get in the mood and cry beautifully. After all, we're still an idol drama.”

“Okay.” Su Luo replied.

“This is Xiao Shen's first time, you need to take care of him, lead by example and help him.”

Su Luo looked at Shen Qingshu and said indifferently, “I'll try my best, but you know, it's hard to avoid making mistakes from ignorance, so if Xiao Shen makes too many mistakes, even I can't help him.”

“No.” Shen Qingshu said, “I'll try my best and won't make too many mistakes.”

Su Luo still said in an apathetic tone, “Not everything can be achieved by hard work. There are many people who work hard, yet how many can succeed?”

Shen Qingshu: …

All right, Shen Qingshu stopped talking and planned to use his actions as proof.

Director Li described the scene and went back to the director's seat.

Shen Qingshu looked at Su Luo and said politely, “Miss Su, shall we try a practice run first?”

Su Luo was about to agree. Suddenly she heard Sun Xuan call her, so she refused him and walked towards Sun Xuan.

Shen Qingshu watched her leave without much reaction. He silently reviewed his lines again.

“What do you want me to do?” Su Luo asked Sun Xuan.

Sun Xuan smiled and whispered, “Why are there so few scenes for me on this announcement list?”

“I haven't told the screenwriter to add scenes to you yet.” Su Luo explained.

“Then you should hurry up.” Sun Xuan rushed impatiently, “Shootings about to begin.”

“I know. Don't rush me.” Su Luo replied and acted coquettish, “How can I not help you?”

That's true, Sun Xuan still had faith in his girlfriend. He tucked in Su Luo's hair. “You're going to shoot in a moment. Give the newbie a lesson and let him know that a newcomer like him will only embarrass himself on the big stage. Make him believe it's better to have fewer scenes. At least he can feel less shame.”

“I will.” Su Luo nodded.

If Shen Qingshu didn't come out suddenly, it would be her and Sun Xuan's CP scene at this time.

It was Shen Qingshu who interrupted their plan.

“Don't worry, I'll help us out.”

“Thanks for the hard work, wifey.” Sun Xuan coaxed her.

Su Luo laughed and looked at him coyly.

When the set prep was finished, director Li asked Shen Qingshu and Su Luo to come over and start shooting the first scene.

Su Luo looked at Shen Qingshu and asked him, “Are you ready?”

Shen Qingshu nodded.

“Make sure to perform well later.”

“Of course.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

Su Luo's heart sank and complained secretly: Then I'll perform well, too.

They followed the deputy director's command and heard Director Li shouting, “A.”

The next second, Shen Qingshu raised his head at Suluo full of melancholy.

“Xi Wei, do you really want to go?” His voice was bleak and his eyes were sad. He stepped forward and pleaded to her, “Can't you stay?”

Su Luo:

Su Luo looked at his expression of instant heartache, only feeling blind sided at this moment.

Wait… Wait, where did this level of acting come from? Aren't you a newbie?

How did you dive straight into the emotions as soon as you started?

Su Luo opened her mouth and reluctantly spoke her lines: “Sorry, Xiang Wen ge, I really have no choice. I can't stay here anymore.”

Shen Qingshu looked at her and the sadness in his eyes overflowed layer by layer. He blinked gently, his eyelashes slightly damp. Within his eyes there seemed to be the shimmering illusion of tears.

He said, “Well, I won't keep you.”

The voice is gentle and there is a shallow smile on his face, but his eyes are full of sadness and reluctance.

Su Luo: …

Su Luo looked into his eyes. Is he crying?

So fast!

Su Luo nodded and raised her face to look at him. She knew that she should cry at this time, and it should be the kind of silent tears that are both beautiful and fragile.

Only in this way can the feelings between the female lead and second male lead become beautiful and distressing.

But ! !

But she was not ready to cry!

Su Luo tried to blink, blinked again, but still couldn't squeeze out tears.

She was embarrassed for a moment and froze at the scene.

Director Li looked at the scene that was completely out of his expectation. This was different from his predictions.

Three minutes ago, he was counting on Su Luo to lead Shen Qingshu. Three minutes later, Shen Qingshu had finished the scene alone and beautifully.

And their female lead has not entered the play yet!

Director Li looked back at Zhou Jianming suspiciously. His eyes fully showed his disbelief.

Before, didn't you say that your family's Qingshu has no experience in filming?

That this was his first time?

No experience?

Need me to take care of him?

No need to be so modest ! ! !

You're just playing tricks!

Nonsense!

Setting people up to hit themselves in the face!

Zhou Jianming quickly shook his head and silently conveyed to him, “I'm wronged!”
