Ye Shuang found the producer's contact information on the set and gave it to Ye Qing.
After receiving the contact information, Ye Qing stared at the slip of paper in her hand for a long time. After a moment of silence, she gave Ye Shuang the producer's contact information.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Shuang took the contact information from Ye Qing, her puzzled gaze shifting back and forth between the note in her hand and Ye Qing's face.
Seeing Ye Shuang's hesitant expression, Ye Qing said, "You make the call."
"Me?" Ye Shuang pointed to herself, looking very confused, and asked Ye Qing hesitantly, "No? Why was it me who hit it? I don't know how you plan to negotiate with the production team. What if you mess this up?"
Ye Shuang's concerns were indeed valid, but Ye Qing's decision to have Ye Shuang make this call was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.
She explained, “You don’t need to talk to the producer. Just help me schedule a time first. After all, you already know each other, so it’s easier to make the call. If I were to make the call, we wouldn’t know each other at all. If he rejects me outright after the call, there’s not much room for negotiation.”
Besides, weren't you just thinking about getting more work for your models? You should contact the producer about that. Once it's done, even if I don't say anything, you should proactively talk to them. As long as it's not an excessive role, I think the production team shouldn't object.”
Ye Shuang hadn't really thought of that. After hearing Ye Qing's words, she roughly understood what Ye Qing meant and thought about it and felt that what Ye Qing said made sense.
However, it's uncertain when I can schedule a time with the production team if I make this call now.
Moreover, since the production team had already arranged a time, Ye Shuang wasn't sure if Ye Qing's time would be suitable. So, just as she was about to dial the number, Ye Shuang stopped and looked at Ye Qing: "When would be a good time for you?"
"Why don't you call them first and see what they say? From what you just said, the production team is in the process of setting up and is very busy with various things, so it's not certain that they'll have time to meet if you call now. Once they've confirmed the time, I'll coordinate my schedule."
Ye Shuang nodded: "Okay."
"Put it on speakerphone," Ye Qing instructed Ye Shuang as she dialed the number.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's request, Ye Shuang immediately put the phone on speakerphone.
The phone rang for a long time, and Ye Shuang thought no one was answering. She was about to hang up when the other party picked up.
"Who is it?" The other person's tone was urgent: "Oh, let's get to the point... Hey, come back, come back, I told you, those props won't do, we need to make them look old, old... You know how to make them look old, right..."
After the call connected, before Ye Shuang could even say a word, she heard a jumble of incoherent words coming from the other end of the line. This made Ye Shuang and Ye Qing realize that the producer on the set was genuinely busy.
Just as Ye Shuang was wondering whether she should hang up the phone first and then call back later, she saw Ye Qing pick up a piece of paper, scribble something down, and then hand it to Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang glanced at what Ye Qing had written, paused for a moment, then looked up at Ye Qing again, who nodded at her.
"Hey, hey, say something..."
The production team had probably finished their work for the time being, and since they hadn't heard Ye Shuang's voice, they started shouting into the microphone.
Because it was on speakerphone, Ye Qing could hear the other person's voice. She nodded to Ye Shuang, urging him to speak quickly.
"Brother Wang, right? I'm Ye Shuang, we just got in touch..."
"I remember you have something to do. If you're not in a hurry, let's talk later. I'm really quite busy here..."
Listening to the implication, Ye Shuang realized that the other party was about to hang up, so she quickly spoke up before they did, following the words Ye Qing had written on the note: "Brother Wang, it's just one minute. Don't rush to hang up until I finish speaking. I know a designer who can provide all the costumes for the female lead in the film, including the gowns needed for the fashion show."
Because he was afraid the other party would hang up, he spoke very quickly.
After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end, but soon the man Ye Shuang called Brother Wang said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll find a quiet place and you can tell me in detail."
"Okay." After answering the person on the other end of the phone, Ye Shuang looked excitedly at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing wasn't particularly excited, because the moment the call connected, she heard the chaotic sounds on the producer's end and knew that the production team still had many things to sort out. Now that someone had taken the initiative to propose a collaboration, the producer wouldn't refuse.
Whether or not we will ultimately cooperate is uncertain, but at least we wouldn't rule out discussing it first.
After a moment, it was noticeably quieter on the other end of the phone. Clearly, the producer had found a quiet place, or perhaps a secluded spot, and he took the initiative to ask Ye Shuang, "Tell me what happened first?"
Ye Shuang glanced at Ye Qing first, and seeing that Ye Qing nodded at her, Ye Shuang said, "It's like this, Brother Wang, I know a designer named Ye Qing. She has her own haute couture studio and her own brand called Qingye. In addition to haute couture, this studio also makes regular ready-to-wear clothing and has its own flagship store, so the female lead's everyday clothes and runway clothes in the play are not a problem."
"Ye Qing?" the other person asked again after hearing Ye Shuang's explanation.
Ye Shuang said, "Yes."
"Are you very familiar with the other party? What did they say about this?" the producer asked Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang glanced at Ye Qing again, and seeing that Ye Qing didn't have anything to say, Ye Shuang hesitated: "Brother Wang, it's like this, if you used to follow gossip, you might know a little bit, Ye Qing and I are related..."
At this point, Ye Shuang thought about how her relationship with Ye Qing had never been exactly harmonious, and fearing that the other party might misunderstand, she quickly explained: "Of course, there used to be gossip that our relationship was bad, but that's not the case now. After all, we're relatives, we're sisters, and we don't have any real grudges. So don't worry, Brother Wang, if the production team needs anything, I'll contact them and I definitely won't let them down."
After saying this, Ye Shuang felt a little uneasy, but her unease wasn't because the person on the other end of the phone hadn't spoken yet. Her unease stemmed from the fact that she had just mentioned being sisters with Ye Qing, and she wondered how Ye Qing would react.
Ye Qing certainly heard Ye Shuang's words, but to be honest, she didn't take them to heart. It wasn't that she didn't care about Ye Shuang's words; in fact, she cared a lot about them. After all, Ye Shuang's call was for her sake, and because she cared, Ye Qing was concerned about how the other party would react.
Moreover, Ye Qing believed that Ye Shuang's words were just a deliberate attempt to convince the other party that she could help, so she didn't bother to discern how much sincerity was in Ye Shuang's words.
"Hurry up!" Ye Qing nudged Ye Shuang when she saw that she was silent, signaling that the other person had spoken, and she quickly replied.
