Chapter 417 - Chapter 417 Chapter 416 For the Sake of Art

Chapter 417: Chapter 416: For the Sake of Art! Chapter 417: Chapter 416: For the Sake of Art! “Big brother! Stop talking already!” Lv Junyou was completely convinced by Wang Hao, “I’ll do it! Fine, I’ll do it, okay? I’ll play a corpse! I’m going to be a corpse with personality and creativity! You have to give me this acting opportunity, brother. Damn it, I’d be happy to do it for free, just to learn something. I’m acting, I’m an actor, I’m doing this for the art!”

Beside him, Chen Li: “…”

Fuck, Wang Hao’s mouth is so powerful, he could convince you up is down–absolutely incredible!

“Right, right, I’ll go, I’ll go!”

“Count me in too, just play a corpse! A beggar gang’s corpse! We’ve got to die with style, die with a flair!”

“That’s more like it,” Wang Hao finally nodded in satisfaction, “Everyone go get ready. Oh, and by the way, bring some more people over, we’re going to need quite a few actors this time.”

“I’ve got this!” Lv Junyou thumped his chest with a slap that resounded, “I’ll find people for you! I’ll even cover the costs! Travel and lunchboxes are self-provided! All for the chance to perform! I want to dedicate myself to art!”

Wang Hao: “…”

That’s what I like to see in you!

…

On the campus network–

Lv Junyou: “Fuck, guys, stop messing around, come quick, there’s a TM big opportunity! A really big one!”

Liu Xiaolin: “Ey, Junyou bro, what’s the big deal?”

Yu Junming: “What’s happening?”

Lv Junyou: “I found a chance to perform with a theater troupe, playing a corpse, from the beggar gang! It’s hugely challenging! For art!”

Liu Xiaolin: “Fuck, Junyou bro, you’d go for that lousy troupe? They only pay a hundred a day!”

Le Xian: “Yeah, what’s that bit of money good for?”

Shen Yuanhang: “That’s way too little, even I make more than a hundred a day just waiting tables!”

Lv Junyou: “You bunch of bumpkins, do you even understand what is meant by an actor’s self-cultivation? Told to play a corpse, do you know how to die? Do you understand the dozen mortal wounds on a human body?”

Liu Xiaolin: “Fuck, I really don’t get it, bro. Where’d you hear all this?”

Lv Junyou: “I’m telling you, if you play a corpse, at the very least you’ve got to understand where fatal injuries are versus regular injuries! Take the temple, for example, if you were hit hard there, you’d be down on the ground even if not dead. The throat–stabbed there, you’ve got to act like you want to speak but can’t, show a terrified face, and then slowly pass away. The heart–if it’s stabbed, you’re definitely dead on the spot, lying down without moving!”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this!

Liu Xiaolin: “Did he tell you all this, Junyou bro?”

Le Xian: “That makes a lot of sense. Could it be that playing a corpse has so many requirements?”

Lv Junyou: “Isn’t it obvious? An actor cannot achieve the same self-feelings they have in real life while in the fictitious time and space of the stage. If they don’t think, act, or feel according to the logic of real life, they can’t create a living character! And besides, show me an actor who got to play the leading role right away. Didn’t they all start with bit parts? If you can’t even play a corpse well, you still want to play the leading role?!”

Shen Yuanhang: “Makes sense, makes sense! I’m in, Junyou bro!”

Yu Junming: “Me too, I’m in! Count me in!”

Liu Xiaolin: “Fuck, why did I agree so soon, now there’s no chance to be a corpse! My role is just a bystander, not even a line or movement to make…”

Lv Junyou: “Serves you right! Letting such a good opportunity slip by just for a couple hundred bucks! Do you think being a corpse is just lying on the ground? Do you know the hundred ways to die as a corpse, how to die with uniqueness, creativity, or in a way that catches the eye?”

Everyone: “We don’t know!”

Lv Junyou: “Art, do you understand art? For art’s sake, it’s not about how little they pay–you’d do it even for free! The opportunity! The opportunity to perform is what’s most important!”

Liu Xiaolin: “Stop it, bro, I’m regretting it already!”

Le Xian: “I’m going too!”

Yu Junming: “Me as well, I’m going too!”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Hey, isn’t that Junyou? Got beaten up before, and now you’ve shaped up?”

Lv Junyou: “Ruoyun, I’ve realized your vision is absolutely remarkable! That young master is so talented, I want to be his disciple too! Can you put in a good word for me?”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Get lost, the young master is mine. How could I possibly let you have him! Go play with eggs!”

Lv Junyou: “Don’t be like that, I won’t compete with you. After becoming a disciple, I’ll call you senior sister. Is that okay?”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Really?”

Lv Junyou: “Really!”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Alright then, where are you all?”

Lv Junyou: “At the college gate. Oh, and while you’re at it, bring some more people over. The troupe said we need a lot of actors.”

Jiang Ruoyun: “Got it, on my way.”

…

About fifteen minutes later, Wang Hao saw around fifty people coming out from the college!

The crowd shouted the moment they saw each other, “Pick me, pick me! I want to play a corpse!” “I’m going too! I want to learn the hundred ways to be a corpse!” “Please take me in! For art’s sake!” “Big brother, take me to be your apprentice too!” “I’ll go too, and I won’t ask for money!”

Chen Li felt like he was seeing ghosts: “…”

Fuck, what’s going on? It was so hard to find extras before, and now so many people turned up in the blink of an eye?

And they’re all damn volunteering for free?
