After reading the script, Xiao He's first words were: "I'll take this script!"
Although Xu Ning's character seems somewhat similar to Shen Jue at first glance, Shen Jue is more of a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside type. He even left Penglai Inn to help Jiang Rushuai and got involved with him. Xu Ning, on the other hand, is quite different. He is cold on the outside but hard on the inside. He mostly observes Lin Yu'an with indifference, only intervening when Lin Yu'an is almost dead or when his interests are involved. Most of the time, he is in a "watching the show" attitude.
Moreover, the script didn't go through any of that "mutual redemption" or "brotherhood after going through hardships together" kind of thing. The relationship between the two main characters, from beginning to end... well, it's really fake, without a single bit of pretense.
This is a completely new subject matter, a completely new protagonist design, and most importantly, it's packed with scenes involving knives and stabbings!
What reason is there not to accept?!
catch!
We absolutely have to accept it!
Take it hard!
Xiao He couldn't wait to join the production team.
"When will the contract be signed? When will I join the crew?"
He loves his job, he loves going to work!
Speed, speed!
Liu Rulan glanced at her watch and then said, "The director has arranged a meeting at seven o'clock tonight, and you'll also have the opportunity to meet the actor who plays Lin Yu'an."
"Sure, no problem!"
Xiao He nodded immediately.
So, to Xiao He's delight, they finally arrived at the agreed-upon private room at the restaurant ahead of schedule and met familiar faces—
"Brother Zehang, Sister Cheng?"
Xiao He stared in astonishment at the people behind the table, while Liu Zehang and Cheng Xue also stood up in surprise: "It's you two?"
Liu Zehang scratched his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! I feel much more at ease knowing that you're playing Xu Ning."
Xiao He helplessly spread his hands: "We said yesterday that we would cheer each other on, and now it seems that we really do need to cheer each other on."
Liu Zehang laughed heartily: "Come, come, have a seat!"
Everyone found a place to sit down, and Xiao He casually asked Liu Zehang when he received the script. To his surprise, Liu Zehang had only received the script that afternoon.
He arrived more than half a day later than Xiao He.
Xiao He and Liu Rulan exchanged a glance, but did not mention that they had received the script that morning.
Even though we're good friends, we should still be careful what we say in these kinds of situations, lest we accidentally cause a misunderstanding.
They chatted for another ten minutes or so before Director Ren finally arrived.
He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with no particularly outstanding features except for his exceptionally bright eyes, which had several deep wrinkles at the corners. When he saw Xiao He and Liu Zehang, his smile deepened, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up, turning into several furrows.
"Hello, Director Ren."
Several people stood up and greeted them.
When Xiao He saw those eyes, he realized that the Director Ren they had discussed so many times was actually the uncle who sat next to him during his audition yesterday.
The uncle was acting strangely. After sitting next to him, he kept observing him. Xiao He was in a hurry to audition and didn't pay attention to him. Little did he know that the ordinary uncle sitting next to him was actually the very famous director, Ren Changwen.
