Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1503 1477: A Ruthless Rejection

The Terracotta Warriors seemed to be waiting for Ye Chen's command, ready to launch an attack against the enemy as soon as he gave the order.

Everyone present was so shocked that their mouths were agape.

They even felt as if the ground were trembling with each step Ye Chen took.

Tang Qiang was so intimidated by this aura that his legs gave way, and he directly knelt before Ye Chen.

The imposing force emanating from Ye Chen was simply too powerful, creating an overwhelming pressure.

Tang Qiang's voice trembled as he spoke.

"This, this... is simply terrifying."

Not only did he kneel, but he also kowtowed heavily before Ye Chen.

Tang Qiang kept begging Ye Chen for mercy, as he could feel the aura of death looming over him.

"I was wrong; please don't kill me."

At this moment, all his arrogance was gone; he was utterly terrified in Ye Chen's presence.

Tang Qiang even had the illusion that the person in front of him was Emperor Qin.

At this moment, he finally understood the vast difference between himself and Ye Chen.

"So terrifying, truly terrifying."

"How do I feel that this isn't just Ye Chen acting, but it's real."

"There's even a sensation of the earth shaking."

Everyone looked at the young man in front of them, their faces full of shock.

But no one thought he was Ye Chen; instead, they believed he was Emperor Qin.

Tong Xiaoya even felt her heart skip a beat; the man before her was truly handsome.

Everyone knew that such a performance couldn't be faked; it came from within.

Some even suspected that Ye Chen was Emperor Qin reincarnated.

Otherwise, how could it be so convincingly real, just like Emperor Qin himself?

Ye Chen observed the crowd's reactions and knew the effect had been achieved.

He reined in the Emperor's Aura within him.

Indeed, Ye Chen's performance just now had truly stunned everyone.

Some even experienced hallucinations.

Yes, the resurrection of the Terracotta Warriors and the earth-shaking sensation were all created by Ye Chen.

Of course, these were fake; if they were real, Ye Chen wouldn't dare stay here.

At this moment, Tang Qiang was left dumbstruck, staring at Ye Chen with a look of despair.

He finally realized that in Ye Chen's presence, he was nothing but a piece of trash.

Ye Chen's performance completely shattered Tang Qiang's pride.

It destroyed his self-confidence.

Watching Tang Qiang slumped on the ground, Ye Chen sneered at him and turned to leave.

Ye Chen never showed pity for people who thought too highly of themselves.

Tang Qiang only had himself to blame; he couldn't blame anyone else.

A few staff members hurriedly helped Tang Qiang up and led him off the set.

Zhang Mou was also trembling slightly.

He felt that this was true acting, and Ye Chen was indeed a master of the craft.

The domineering aura Ye Chen exhibited was exactly how Emperor Qin should be portrayed.

Zhang Mou looked at Ye Chen in amazement and said.

"Your acting is truly unparalleled, directly overshadowing those veteran artists."

In Zhang Mou's eyes, Ye Chen was like a treasure he had discovered, and he was trembling with excitement.

"I decided to have Ye Chen play Emperor Qin."

Of course, this wasn't a decision he could make alone; the key was still Ye Chen's opinion.

"Mr. Ye, I'm thinking of having you as the lead actor. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Zhang Mou's words, everyone on set was wide-eyed with shock.

No one expected that Ye Chen's acting just now would defeat Tang Qiang and win Zhang Mou's heart.

A veteran in the film industry was being replaced simply because of Ye Chen's appearance.

This was a rather crazy move.

If this news were to spread, it would cause a huge stir in the entertainment industry, like a bomb going off.

"Director, this isn't appropriate,"

The assistant came over to Zhang Mou and said.

"Ye Chen isn't on the cast list, and making him the lead suddenly doesn't fit the rules."

"Moreover, if the netizens find out about this, they're sure to explode."

Zhang Mou understood that the assistant's concerns were valid.

If the role were suddenly changed, it would certainly upset netizens.

The most crucial thing was that a seasoned actor like Tang Qiang was being replaced by a young actor.

Netizens who didn't understand the situation would inevitably make a fuss.

Ignoring the assistant's words, Zhang Mou said.

"With Ye Chen's acting skills being so exceptional, if he stars in this film, the box office will definitely be very high. I'm confident in this."

"Alright, stop wasting your breath; my decision is made."

At this moment, Zhang Mou seemed almost possessed, insisting that Ye Chen should be the lead in this film no matter what.

He was confident that as long as Ye Chen played this role, it would achieve box office success.

It might even win the Oscars.

Having shot many films before, it was only due to issues with actors that they never won the award.

This time, Zhang Mou decided he must win the award and pinned his hopes on Ye Chen.

Seeing director Zhang Mou's firm resolve to replace the seasoned actor Tang Qiang with Ye Chen,

The crowd was so shocked they were speechless.

Even Tong Xiaoya did not expect Zhang Mou would let Ye Chen be the lead in this film.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, but I have to decline your offer; this is not the life I want. I only want to be a happy delivery driver," Ye Chen said with a calm smile.

Hearing Ye Chen's response, everyone was taken aback.

This was a very rare opportunity, one that many people dreamed of obtaining.

Yet Ye Chen flatly refused it.

"Oh my, did I hear that right?"

"Giving up a bright future as a superstar to deliver food, that's really something."

"This person is a bit too arrogant, not accepting the offer."

"Unbelievable."

The crowd was shocked by Ye Chen's words.

Everyone knew how picky Zhang Mou was; for him to take interest in someone was a fortune developed over several lifetimes.

Imagine the future in the entertainment world, smooth sailing, fame, and success.

Yet the young man in front of them turned it down without hesitation.

How could this not astound everyone?

It's important to know that Zhang Mou's opportunity was something many people would struggle to get.

Yet Ye Chen didn't treasure it at all.

Ye Chen didn't care about the discussion of the crowd; he had his ideas and would not be influenced by others.

Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, he walked away.

Zhang Mou himself also looked surprised.

"How is this possible, Ye Chen actually refused my invitation?"

Looking at Ye Chen's departing figure, Zhang Mou was still in shock, unable to recover.

Ye Chen left the set and looked up at the sky outside, taking a breath of fresh air.

The atmosphere inside was a bit awkward.

After all, Ye Chen did reject a famous domestic director, which was somewhat disrespectful to Zhang Mou.

He knew Zhang Mou's invitation was due to his acting skills and their previous collaboration.
