I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 308 Why Aren’t You Nervous?

Twenty people laid on the ground moaning with an extremely eye-catching scarlet palm print on their faces.

They all stared at Ye Lingchen in terror, not daring to approach him.

Under such circumstances, even an idiot would know Ye Lingchen was an expert not to be crossed.

There was definitely a crushing difference in power if he was able to smack down that many of his men.

The entire group did not even dare let out any snarky comments, and just ran away in a hurry.

“Wow! Lingchen, you’re amazing. I’ve always thought Sister Yifei was unbeatable, but I never thought you’d be this good,” Chen Meijia shouted exaggeratedly while running toward him. “You’re a martial arts expert right?”

“It’s nothing much. They just needed some beating,” Ye Lingchen replied.

“F*ck! That move of yours is way more exciting than those in the movies. Brother Ye, if you go for the interview, you just need to show this move and you’ll definitely pass it!” Chen Chichi suggested.

Speaking of the interview, the group immediately became nervous again as they walked toward the filming company.

They arrived on the second floor together and waited for their interview session in the afternoon.

Seeing the people entering the interview hall one by one and exiting with varying expressions made Hu Yifei and the rest increasingly nervous.

“What to do, what to do? I’m so nervous!” Chen Meijia was a nervous wreck. “If we pass the interview, we’ll be officially entering the entertainment industry.”

“Meijia, just stop talking. Every time you speak, I get more nervous. “Lin Wanyu was worried and anxious.

“I heard the entertainment industry’s waters run deep. I wonder how deep it goes.”

“Chen Meijia, you’re overthinking things. We’ve just only graduated. Even if we passed the interview, we’ll definitely start off as extras. That’s still thousands of miles away from the entertainment industry.”

Watching them chatting nervously, Ye Lingchen smiled without a word. He quietly took his phone out and sent a message to Xiao Feifei.

Before long, an employee approached them and said, “It’s your turn. Please come this way.”

“Us?” Lu Xiaobu and the gang were stunned, and asked surprisingly, “Isn’t the interview done individually?”

“I’m only in charge of passing the message. The higher-ups are asking for you guys to enter together.”

They were all confused as they quietly followed behind the employee. All their gazes had confusion in them.

Right then, Chen Chichi looked at Ye Lingchen and asked out of curiosity, “Brother Ye, why aren’t you nervous at all?”

Hearing that, the others looked at Ye Lingchen as well, just to see him calm and relaxed. Moreover, he seemed to be unprepared, unlike one that was going for an interview.

“I’m not nervous. Why should I be?” Ye Lingchen asked.

“We’re going in for an interview now! You’re really not nervous?” Lu Xiaobu brought it up once again. By then, the gang already arrived at the door.

“Oh, maybe that’s because I’m in charge of the interview,” Ye Lingchen replied nonchalantly, entering the door. Right before their stupefied eyes, Ye Lingchen walked up to the chief evaluator’s seat and casually sat down.

The entire gang was flabbergasted.

Their mouths opened wide, frozen on the spot as though fossilized.

That was just…

After the interview, Ye Lingchen went to Xiao Feifei’s office.

“Lingchen, you’re really done with the script?” Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen. Before the interview, Ye Lingchen sent her a simple message, but she agreed to it without a second thought.

“Not just the script. Most of the actors are set. The theme will be urban comedy. The investment cost will be quite low too,” Ye Lingchen said with a laugh.

“Comedy is definitely popular, but it’s too difficult to make it good.” Sister Lin was a little worried.

“Leave everything to me.” Ye Lingchen was fully confident of his plan. “Sister Feifei, for the beginning stages of our company’s founding, let’s just focus on this series. No need to hire too many actors. Since we’ve decided on this, you should rest up properly and stop worrying about it.”

“Mm.” Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen, then nodded with a smile.

Along the way back from Xiao Feifei’s place, Ye Lingchen was polishing up his thoughts.

Hu Yifei and the gang gave Ye Lingchen a good feeling. They were filled with the energy of youngsters. Moreover, their attitudes were extremely positive.

The TV series was meant to add some comedic essence into various aspects of life.

Such a series would bring joy to the people and be greatly loved by everyone.

After arriving home, Ye Lingchen started to write an outline by hand.

[Time: X year, X month, X day. It would not be too far off from modern times.

In a simple apartment, there were two very normal suites. In them were seven young men and women of different backgrounds, status, and dreams…

The name of the TV series should be…iPartment[1]!]

‘Since I can’t afford to purchase a building, I’ll start by filming a story within a building.’

Looking at the time and realizing it was already 7pm, Ye Lingchen turned on his computer and started streaming Study of the Three Kingdoms.

Three days later, it was done!

Ye Lingchen let out a long sigh of relief. He read through his script from the front to the end, then nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, inside Xiao Feifei’s office…

Xiao Feifei and Sister Lin were still reading up materials. Although Ye Lingchen told them to rest, it was impossible for them to take it easy.

However, they began to alternate between rest and hard work, thus no longer giving themselves such intense workload.

“Feifei, do you think Ye Lingchen can come up with the script?” Sister Lin asked suddenly.

“I believe he can do it.” Xiao Feifei smiled with a spirited look in her eyes. “I’ve never seen anything that he failed to do all these while.”

Sister Lin looked at Xiao Feifei as she went into deep thoughts for a while before finally sighing. “Feifei, why don’t you tell him directly?”

“What?”

“I’ve been with you for so long, but I’ve never heard that you wanted to retire from the entertainment industry.” Sister Lin looked at Xiao Feifei. “Do you think I don’t know what’s in your heart? I just don’t want Ye Lingchen to see you acting with someone else. That’s why you plan to retire right? It’s so much easier for you to be acting than this.”

With Xiao Feifei’s current status, even if she acted, it would not be too exhausting. The reasons she gave earlier were just nonsense.

Xiao Feifei kept silent and walked up to the window. She looked at the scene below and bit her lips. “Sister Lin, if it was just a movie role, that’s unworthy of him…”

A movie role was just a role. It would not turn her into a phoenix.

“That’s why you wanted to start a company?” Sister Lin asked.

Xiao Feifei nodded. Her eyes looked determined as she said calmly, “I just wish to grow as fast as I can in order to catch up with him. There will definitely be more and more talented girls appearing by his side. Only through this will I remain competitive.”

Xiao Feifei looked at Sister Lin, begging her, “Sister Lin, you must keep this secret for me. I just need to quietly be by his side.”

“You…”

Sister Lin sighed, “You’re really stupid.”
