Chapter 925 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
At first, I thought that my good friend was fooling me. After all, I was just a small role. How could I have the opportunity to perform on the same stage with Lu Jinghuai?
However, after flipping through the script in my hand, I realized belatedly that this was indeed the case!
"Really, I didn't know about it before. I hadn't read the script carefully. I just knew it was a small role."
When I heard the assistant say that this was a small role, I subconsciously felt that there would not be many scenes and I might only stay in the crew for a few days, so I decisively looked at the character setting.
As expected, the role was pitifully small, and I didn't watch any more scenes afterwards. I just decided to confront the director about the script.
But who would have thought that although she had few scenes, she would appear with Lu Jinghuai in almost every scene!
It can even be said bluntly that as long as I appear in the camera, Lu Jinghuai will definitely be there too!
"Look, you didn't even read the script carefully, and you went straight into arguing with the director. What if the director changes your two scenes? That would be terrible."
The person on the other end of the phone spoke coldly. When Meng Ronglan heard it, she instantly became nervous!
"No way? The director won't change it. I just asked him to add more scenes for me, but he refused. I even threatened him! It's no use!"
Meng Ronglan said with considerable concern, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, looking filled with melancholy.
"I'm impressed by you. No, you're filming under someone else's supervision, and you're threatening them? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you bring money into the crew. That's not how it works."
At this moment, the person on the other end of the phone gradually realized that Meng Ronglan's personality was not suitable for staying in the crew for a long time.
"Oh, don't worry. As long as Lu Jinghuai is on the set, I will definitely behave gracefully and gently!"
"Alright, alright, I don't care about you anymore, do as you please."
The two then exchanged a few more complaints and ended the call.
However, for Meng Ronglan, this was indeed a good thing! She had finally persuaded her family and found ways to sneak into the crew, wasn't it all for Lu Jinghuai?
"No, no, you have to be reserved! Act a little more lively and cheerful!"
As Meng Ronglan spoke, she gently patted her cheeks, trying to cheer herself up.
At this moment, Lu Jinghuai didn't know about these things, and then he went to the director to apologize.
"I was wrong this time, there won't be a next time."
Lu Jinghuai spoke sincerely, with a hint of self-blame in his words, and he looked very guilty.
The director waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. Speaking of this matter, I have to thank you."
"Why do you say that?"
Lu Jinghuai was a little confused and asked curiously, with confusion in his eyes.
Although the scandals about herself brought some popularity to the crew, they also brought negative news and had a bad impact.
But after hearing what the director said, why did I feel like I had done a good thing?
"Didn't I tell you? The crew recently arranged for a new person to come in, this little princess, and it seems that it was for you. They insisted on having a role with more scenes, but there was no other role with more scenes. Fortunately, they added another role with you as the center."
The director explained it in a few words, which was very clear and straightforward.
"If it weren't for your photo, we might not have known how to add this character for a while. So, we kill two birds with one stone, a win-win situation."
This is absolutely true, it is the fact.
If it weren't for Lu Jinghuai's photo, people would definitely think that a character was added in temporarily to fill in the gaps.
It was because of that photo that it seemed natural.
"So that's how it is."
Lu Jinghuai nodded thoughtfully, and the expression on his face gradually became calm.
The director then smiled, walked over to Lu Jinghuai, patted him gently on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "However, this role is mainly related to you, so you may need to put in a little more effort when the time comes."
To put it bluntly, the director simply doesn't have the patience to guide Meng Ronglan!
How can one teach another when they are as incompatible as fire and water?
Fortunately, I handed this matter directly to Lu Jinghuai, and I felt relieved.
"Okay, I know."
Lu Jinghuai did not refuse. He nodded readily and silently kept this matter in mind.
I will also have to familiarize myself with the script later. When the time comes, I will take Meng Ronglan to rehearse the lines together to get a feel for it, and there should be no problem.
Theoretically, this seems to be the case.
But when it came to implementation, it was a complete mess!
"Have you forgotten what I just said? When you say this, your face should show a sense of sorrow. You should try to immerse yourself in this role and experience the love, hate, and vengeance of this character."
Lu Jinghuai said exhaustedly, he had forgotten how many times he had said this, his throat was almost hoarse from talking so much.
But what about Meng Ronglan in front of him?
It seems like he still doesn't understand anything. He is still so stiff when filming, without any agility at all.
"I know, I know."
Facing her favorite idol, Meng Ronglan was so nervous that she even stuttered when she spoke.
