Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me

Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt? Whattttttttt?

One of the remarkable aspects of Ambrose Bierce's short stories is his use of dark and often ironic humor. For example, in 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge', the detailed description of the protagonist's hallucination before his death creates a sense of both horror and absurdity. His stories often deal with themes of war, death, and the human condition. The way he portrays the psychological states of his characters is very engaging. Another story, 'Chickamauga', shows his ability to create a vivid and disturbing picture of the aftermath of a battle, especially through the eyes of a child who doesn't fully understand what's going on.
