Chapter 121: Protecting the Shortcomings to This Extent
Jiang Yunyao looked at another script called "Cage" and directed by Xu Guangyuan.
His status in the film industry is much higher than Director Qi's in the drama industry.
90% of the movies directed by Director Xu have won awards, and the remaining 10% have also been nominated. For example, Tong Yanzhen starred in Director Xu's "The Abyss" and won the Best Actress award.
In addition, Director Xu's output is very slow. It is considered good if he can make a movie every two years. Usually he only makes one every three or four years.
Therefore, being able to star in Director Xu's film is a huge temptation for artists.
Jiang Yunyao had heard before that Director Xu bought Feng Huan's story and asked them to interpret Feng Huan's actions through the program team. She guessed that Director Xu might choose someone from among them.
This "Cage" was probably written with Feng Huan as the protagonist.
She opened the script and, as expected, saw the words Feng Huan, but to her surprise, this was the script for the heroine Feng Huan.
"Sister Man, why did Director Xu want me to play the female lead?"
Jiang Yunyao is still very confident in her acting skills, but with her current qualifications, wouldn’t it be too strange for her to be chosen by a big director in the film industry?
As the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong!
Sister Man knew what she was worried about.
"Most of the female leads Director Xu has worked with have gone on to develop their careers internationally. The one who stayed in China had a falling out with Director Xu, so Director Xu decided to support new talent."
The "that person" that Sister Man was referring to was naturally Tong Yanzhen.
There are not many outstanding directors in the film industry, and there are even fewer directors who are better than Xu Guangyuan.
If you have starred in Director Xu's movies, there will be a psychological gap if you work with a director who is not as good as Director Xu. You may also be suspected by the outside world. It is better to change your path.
This is why Tong Yanzhen, a film queen, does not act in movies but instead acts in TV series.
Jiang Yunyao's focus was on the last sentence, "Director Xu also watched today's live broadcast?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they chose her when they wanted to support a newcomer!
"Well," Sister Man said, "Director Xu had someone deliver the script after your audition."
Jiang Yunyao discovered that her luck today was indeed ridiculously good. Not only did she successfully clear her name, but she also got several good books!
She suspected that she had been with Wanwan for too long and had gotten some good luck!
Sister Man interrupted her inner thoughts, pointed to a pile of documents beside her, and said, "There are some scripts here, but I haven't chosen one yet. I'll get back to you when I find one that's suitable."
Jiang Yunyao looked at the dozen or so documents and was a little surprised. "Why are there so many scripts suddenly?"
Sister Man: "Your pay hasn't increased yet."
Jiang Yunyao: “…”
No wonder!
Jiang Yunyao was curious about the scripts. "What roles are those?"
Based on her understanding of Sister Man, if the script or role is not good, Sister Man will directly refuse it and will not stay to choose slowly.
Sister Man's eyes fell on the scripts, "Villain, Female Lead, Third Female Lead, Fourth Female Lead, and Male Lead."
Jiang Yunyao almost choked, "Male lead? Did they send the wrong script?"
Sister Man pulled out the script and handed it to her, "You didn't send it to the wrong person. There are a lot of intimate scenes in the script, and the crew wanted to find a female actress to play them from the beginning."
Jiang Yunyao flipped through it casually and didn't see any kissing scenes, but there were quite a few hugging scenes.
Sister Man said, "This drama is expected to start filming in two months, and it conflicts with the filming schedule of 'The Legend of Princess Yin and Yang'. I plan to help you get this role."
Jiang Yunyao had never played a male role before and was initially interested, but when he heard about the schedule conflict, he immediately put the script back.
Sister Man saw that she wanted to try this kind of role and comforted her.
"There's a writer with the pen name 'Doudou' in the writing team for 'The Legend of Lady Yin'. Her previous story about a woman disguising herself as a man was a huge hit, and there might be a similar scene in 'The Legend of Lady Yin'."
"This is just my guess. If not, don't be disappointed. I will pay special attention to such roles for you in the future."
When Jiang Yunyao heard this, she completely lost interest in the notebook and nodded quickly.
After talking about the script, Sister Man made some adjustments to her recent schedule, and there was nothing else to do.
Jiang Yunyao also remembered to ask her the source of the original video.
"Sister Man, how did you get the original video?"
Sister Man: "Mr. Chen gave it to me. He said your father gave it to him."
"My dad?" Jiang Yunyao was puzzled.
When did her father know Mr. Chen? How could she not know!
Sister Man seemed to have expected such a reaction and was very calm.
"Remember when you told me that you hit Mr. Chen, but the next day Mr. Chen upgraded your contract?"
Jiang Yunyao suddenly realized, "You mean, maybe it's because my dad contacted Mr. Chen, so Mr. Chen didn't fire me and even gave me good treatment?"
Sister Man: “Yeah.”
Although this is the most reasonable explanation, Jiang Yunyao couldn't figure out how her father managed to get the company boss to treat his daughter preferentially?
Also, when Mr. Chen saw her last time, he asked Mr. Ji why he gave her resources, and finally said that he "understood". Could it be that he also thought that it was her father who arranged it secretly?
Full of doubts, Jiang Yunyao left Sister Man's office.
Let’s talk about Xie Yixing.
Since Jiang Yunyao and Lin Wanwan had to return to the company, the program team suspended their live broadcast, and the original audience in the live broadcast room went to Xie Yixing and Lu Mucheng.
At this moment, Xie Yixing found a corner to sit in. Instead of practicing singing, he held his mobile phone and argued with the black fans.
Hale came in from outside and saw him like this. He called his assistant over and asked in a low voice.
"Has he practiced singing?"
The assistant's expression was indescribable. After a moment of silence, he said,
"What kind of song is he practicing?! This young master has been holding his phone all day, fighting Miss Jiang's haters. How could he have time to practice singing?"
Hale: “…”
If he remembered correctly, Jiang Yunyao seemed to be following the black and red route? The young master was wasting all this energy, maybe he was scolding his own people!
Hale glanced at the camera of the program crew and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The assistant had been with Hale for a long time and could tell what he wanted to say from his hesitant behavior.
"This morning, all the negative information about Ms. Jiang has been cleared. She should stop following the black-and-red route in the future!"
Hale was incredulous. "Jiang Yunyao has been cleared of all charges, so there shouldn't be many haters left, right? Why hasn't he finished yet?"
Assistant: "Maybe the young master just can't stand people scolding Miss Jiang..."
Hale: “…”
No one else would go to such an extent to protect his own people!
The audience in the live broadcast room were all watching the quarrel between Xie Yixing and Heizi, and did not notice the whispers between Hale and his assistant.
[The haters said that Xiao Xie and Jiang Yunyao were a flower stuck in cow dung. Xiao Xie said that Jiang Yunyao was the flower and the haters were the dung, and that Jiang Yunyao was unlucky enough to be stained with their dung!]
[Hahahahahaha this is so funny, Xiao Xie is really applying what he learned!]
[Also, Heizi said that Jiang Yunyao doesn't deserve to marry into the wealthy Xie family; Xiao Xie said that Jiang Yunyao is already registered in the Xie family household registration book. I'm going to piss you off!]
[The most amazing thing is this: a hater posted a long post summing up Jiang Yunyao's acting skills as just staring; Xiao Xie then instantly killed the hater with one sentence: If you can't appreciate it, don't appreciate it!]
[I can't take it anymore, my happiness index is way off the charts today. If I keep watching, I'm going to die of laughter in the livestream!]
