To be honest, for a moment Zhuang Hongyi even suspected that Liu Rulan had helped Xiao He cheat on the exam or had simply bought the certificate.
However, once filming begins, this lie will be exposed very quickly. Director Ning is not a patient person and will not allow them to fool him on these matters.
There is absolutely no need to create such a fake.
Besides, Liu Rulan isn't that kind of person.
Ning Jiaqi's expression finally turned serious. He picked up his glasses from the coffee table and began to carefully examine the resume that Liu Rulan had placed on top.
"Graduated from Shanghai University? Not from a professional background?"
This surprised Ning Jiaqi even more.
He then glanced at Xiao He's current filming experience, his eyes flashing slightly.
This time, Xiaoliu came to see him with more confidence than last time.
“I know the character Meng Zetian.”
Ning Jiaqi put down the resume. "There was quite a stir a while ago. No wonder this name sounded familiar. It turns out it's one of the artists you manage."
“Yes.” Liu Rulan nodded with a smile. “Xiao He is currently in dire need of such a role, and we hope that Director Ning can give us a chance.”
Although he has been working on other script projects over the years, the fact that "No Bait" has been shelved for ten years is a major concern for Director Ning.
When the opportunity arose, Ning Jiaqi naturally noticed it immediately.
Therefore, he had a fairly deep impression of Xiao He and "Shining Stars".
Ning Jiaqi readily agreed this time, nodding directly: "Okay, but you came a little too fast. The crew hasn't even been reassembled yet. No matter how anxious you are, you can't rush things. I'll let you know when the crew is set up next year, and you can come and give it a try then."
To be frank, this project will be in high demand from now on—those who come to Ning Jiaqi will all be players no less capable than Xiao He.
Who will land the male lead in "No Bait" is no longer something that Director Ning can decide privately.
Being able to leave an impression on Director Ning and secure an audition opportunity was the best Liu Rulan could hope for.
As for the rest, we'll have to see if Xiao He is indeed, as Liu Rulan said, the actor who best fits the lead role among all the actors.
"Okay, I will definitely make sure Xiao He is well prepared."
Liu Rulan immediately stood up with a delighted expression and thanked her.
Zhuang Hongyi added, "Professor Ning's project is certainly very important, but you shouldn't delay my project either."
Liu Rulan: "That's natural."
After Liu Rulan left, Ning Jiaqi took off his reading glasses, leaned back, and casually asked, "How's Xiao He's acting?"
Zhuang Hongyi: "Not bad, but—"
He thought for a moment and continued, "However, he is not from a professional acting background. He is currently filming in Yan Shaohan's crew. The role he plays is quite different from his previous ones. If you are interested in him, I will have Yan Shaohan organize some of the later scenes for you to see."
“Okay.” Ning Jiaqi nodded. “Although Meng Zetian’s performance was indeed quite good, it’s too different from the character of Shu Yuxiu.”
Shu Yuxiu is the male lead in the script of "No Bait".
Zhuang Hongyi sighed, "Liu Rulan and her group really got the better deal."
They deliberately timed their visit to coincide with his arrival, hoping he would say a few good words for Xiao He.
That's really true...
Ning Jiaqi chuckled lightly, not at all offended: "It's their skill to get you to say a few good words for them."
Zhuang Hongyi knew his temper very well. If Xiao He himself wasn't capable, Zhuang Hongyi would have already shut Liu Rulan down.
However, since Zhuang Hongyi still managed to say a few kind words despite his reluctance, that's really good.
This is truly a top-notch open conspiracy!

"Bang--"
