Home/ Mr Pei’s Little Pity Is Too Good/ Chapter 53
The staff on the set are busy.
After An Qingyan took off his makeup, he greeted the director and was about to go back to the hotel. Before leaving, he remembered something and asked, “By the way, Director Wu, has the role of the master been settled yet?”
After hearing this, Director Wu immediately frowned and sighed again.
“It’s basically settled. It’s a new actor named Jiang Le, who has also acted in a few plays before. His acting skills are decent, but his appearance is not quite suitable for the character.”
He said with some regret: “Let’s wait for another two days, I still think that kid surnamed Lin is more suitable, but unfortunately…”
“It’s indeed a pity, but his situation is a bit special…”
Just as An Qingyan was speaking, the screen of his phone suddenly lit up. He glanced at the newly sent WeChat message, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he curled his lips and smiled.
“Director Wu, you don’t need to feel regretful anymore.”

The next day, Lin Suici came to the set again.
Pei Chuan was a little worried, so he deliberately squeezed out some time and came to accompany him.
“Xiao Lin, it’s good that you figured it out.”
Director Wu greeted him with a smile, as relieved as an old father.
“It’s really good. This child looks really agile, and he looks like he can act.”
Lin Suici politely nodded at him in a clear and serious voice: “Thank you, Director Wu, for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard.”
“Okay, okay, let’s do the styling first, and then we will audition later.”
The staff led Lin Sui to the dressing room, but Pei Chuan did not follow and stayed where he was.
He looked at Director Wu calmly and suddenly asked, “Director Wu, is your play still short of investment?”
“!” Director Wu was immediately flattered, and was so shocked that he almost spit out the tea that he hadn’t swallowed.
He smiled and looked at his future father, “Master Pei, are you going to invest in our production team?”
Pei Chuan responded slightly, then took out a golden black business card and handed it to Director Wu.
“In the future, if you need investment, you can come to me. You are a discerning person, and I really appreciate you.”
The flat tone is like asking the price of a catty of Chinese cabbage today.
Director Wu took the business card with trembling hands, feeling a little confused. Didn’t this master almost break his arm last time, why did he suddenly start to appreciate him?
An Qingyan, who was watching the excitement, couldn’t help but put his fists on his lips, covering up the smile at the corner of his mouth.
He seems to have understood something.
The styling of ancient dramas was a bit complicated, and it wasn’t until over an hour later that Lin Suici came out of the dressing room.
Pei Chuan, who had been waiting outside, heard the movement, and looked away from the phone screen. He casually raised his eyes to look at the person standing not far away.
However, after only one glance, he was stunned.
The costumes of the production team are very good, with good texture of clothes and various accessories with exquisite designs.
The young man in sight was dressed in a simple and elegant light blue robe, with wide cuffs embroidered with intricate patterns, and a belt of the same color tied around the waist, outlining a slender and flexible waist. There was also a jade pendant tied around the waist.
Wearing a jade crown on his head, his long black hair hung down on his shoulders, and without the obstruction of bangs, his entire fair and handsome face was visible.
Lin Suici also put on light makeup on his face, making his pale face look even more lively.
His facial features are already exquisite, and his skin is fair and delicate. Without too many modifications, he can amaze everyone.
There was still a hint of coldness and alienation lingering between his eyebrows.
Like someone walking out of a painting.
It was the first time for Lin Suici to do this kind of styling, he pursed his lips in embarrassment, and when he looked at Pei Chuan, there was a bit of anticipation in his eyes.
“How is it?” he asked.
Pei Chuan’s gaze remained fixed on Lin Suici’s body, he got up and walked in front of him, and looked him up and down.
“It looks good, it suits you very well.”
The man’s magnetic and mellow voice rang in his ear with undisguised praise.
The tips of Lin Suici’s ears turned red quietly, and he was also happy in his heart.
The corners of his eyes and brows were stained with a little smile, diluting the previous somewhat cold and alienated temperament, with a youthful air that had not faded yet.
Pei Chuan’s gaze shifted downwards and he stared at the young man’s slender waist which was tied by a belt, his eyes slightly darkened.
Lin Suici usually wears a loose t-shirt or shirt, and Pei Chuan can’t tell how thin the other party’s waist is. But now wearing a belt, he can tell at a glance.
It seems that it can be broken with a pinch.
Pei Chuan suddenly had an impulse in his heart, wanting to pinch this waist with his own hands and measure how thin it is.
“Hey!” Director Wu walked in from outside and his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Lin Suici’s appearance.
He walked over quickly, stared up and down at Lin Suici several times, unable to hide the smile on his face.
“By the way, this is the feeling I want, it’s good, really good!”
It’s like walking out of a novel, that’s how a Master should look like.
His vision is indeed good, President Pei is right in his praise!
Pei Chuan pursed his lips, took two steps aside, and lightly twirled his fingertips, secretly suppressing the impulse in his heart.
Once the styling is done, the next step is the audition.
This is an ancient costume fairy tale drama, adapted from a popular novel on the internet called “Xingyue Jue’”, a major production of S+ level.
The role that Lin Suici is going to audition for is Jun Nanyue, the master of the male lead Xiao Jue, played by An Qingyan.
According to the setting in the novel, Jun Nanyue’s skills are profound and unpredictable. He has lived for more than a hundred years, but his appearance is still the same as when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
The face is exquisitely crafted, without any flaws, cold and dustless, and independent from the world.
Such a person should have been cold-hearted, but Jun Nanyue’s emotional line is very vaguely described in the novel.
The person he admires is Xiao Jue’s father, Xiao Rong.
This kind of love is very forbearing, which never really came to light, but only felt through the few words and details in the novel.
And Xiao Rong had already passed away. Decades ago, the Xiao family was annihilated by the rebels, including Xiao Rong, leaving only his son Xiao Jue, who was only a few years old at the time, the male lead.
After the Xiao family was exterminated, Jun Nanyue took Xiao Jue, who was only a few years old. He raised Xiao Jue as his disciple and taught him martial arts.
The scene Lin Suici is going to try out now for the audition is——
Xiao Jue and his group were ambushed by the rebels, and Jun Nanyue was severely injured in order to save Xiao Jue, and finally died.
For a newcomer who has never had any acting experience, this segment is actually very difficult to act, and the emotions of the character is very hard to grasp.
Director Wu is also uncertain in his heart. Although Lin Suici’s appearance fits Jun Nanyue’s character very well, he has no acting experience after all.
If the acting skills are not good, there is no other way but to make use of that newcomer named Jiang Le.
Lin Suici was also a bit nervous.
Pei Chuan raised his hand and gently rubbed his head, then looked down into his eyes slightly.
“Just do your best, don’t be afraid.”
Even if the child is not good at acting, at worst, he will invest money in it, and he can act in whatever he wants.
Master Pei’s ideas are still very simple, crude but useful.

Jun Nanyue’s expression flashed with a bit of pain for a moment, his fair and slender hands covered the wound, his body that was as thin as a piece of paper swayed and fell to the ground.
Xiao Jue, who was a few steps away, stared blankly at this scene, his eyes were about to crack, and he immediately screamed “Master” in a hoarse voice, rushing to catch Jun Nanyue’s body very quickly.
Xiao Jue hugged Jun Nanyue’s body and gently placed it on the ground, his eyes turning red.
“Master…Master, you have to hold on, I will take you back to the sect to heal your wounds…”
Jun Nanyue weakly closed his eyes, and gently shook his head slightly at his apprentice. His thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: “It’s useless…”
He slowly lifted his eyelids, his slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and he gazed deeply at Xiao Jue in front of him, but it didn’t seem like he was looking at him, but was looking at another person through him.
“Master…” Xiao Jue’s voice couldn’t stop trembling, and his hands were also shaking as he wiped the blood stains from the corner of Jun Nanyue’s mouth.
Jun Nanyue’s eyes were unfocused and the corners of his eyes were red, but a light smile suddenly appeared on his usually cold and handsome face, as if feeling relieved.
“I see you…”
Xiao Rong, I can finally come to see you.
Jun Nanyue slowly closed his eyes, his arms dropped weakly, and he lost his breath.
“Master!!”

Director Wu watched this scene through the monitor, his eyes getting brighter and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
“Okay, cut!”
An Qingyan, who was cooperating with the play, reached out his hand and pulled Lin Suici up from the ground, praising sincerely: “Suici, your acting just now was very good.”
Lin Suici breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Teacher An.”
“Xiao Lin, have you really never acted before?” Director Wu quickly walked over and happily patted Lin Suici’s shoulder.
“Well done, you performed really well!”
It was beyond his expectations. He was originally worried that Lin Suici would be embarrassed because he had no experience in acting. Who knew that he would perform so well, grasping all the emotions of the character.
Especially those eyes, they looked really spiritual as if they could speak.
An Qingyan’s acting skills are among the best among the younger generation of actors. Compared with him, Lin Suici’s acting skills are of course a bit immature, but for a newcomer who is new to this field, he is already very talented.
Director Wu has strict requirements for actors, and Lin Suici is naturally happy to be praised by him.
After thanking the director, he subconsciously searched for the familiar figure among the crowd, and the next second he saw Pei Chuan walking towards him.
However, only after a moment, Pei Chuan had already stopped in front of Lin Suici. He slightly bent down and said a few words in Lin Suici’s ear.
He said ‘Suisui, you are great’.
Lin Suici was startled and his heart suddenly started beating faster.
It seems that others’ praise is not as good as Pei Chuan’s one sentence – ‘Suisui, you are great’.
Pei Chuan did not expect Lin Suici to perform so well, even an outsider could see that the child is talented in this area.
So, there’s no need to invest money for now.
The child is already so talented.
Without any hesitation, Director Wu decided on the actor who will play the role of master on the spot, and it was none other than Lin Suici.
As for the one named Jiang Le, to be honest, although his acting skills are not bad, he is obviously not as good as Lin Suici, and his appearance does not fit the character.
Fortunately, it hasn’t been decided yet.
