Chapter 109 Is this really something I should watch?
The place for dinner is a private restaurant with a quiet environment. There are rockeries and a large bamboo forest in the yard.
Each private room is far apart. I hardly saw other guests when I came in. It was very quiet.
It is a good place to talk about work without worrying about being disturbed.
"You are almost finishing this play now, right?" Wan Jinglun ordered two dishes and handed the menu to Bai Nuan.
"Yes, it will be soon."
Bai Nuan ordered a hot pepper chicken and a vegetarian dish, and handed the menu to the waiter, "I've ordered, thank you."
"Okay, the dishes will be served all at once in about 15 minutes, and no one will come in to disturb you in the middle. You two can press the bell if you have anything, we'll be outside the door."
The waiter said softly, and walked out backwards.
"Let me introduce my new movie. It's a story of revenge, and the story is set in ancient times. The heroine experienced a tragic case when she was a child, and she escaped with the help of a family slave. When she grew up, she began her journey of revenge..."
Wan Jinglun narrated the outline of the story, but he spoke very slowly, giving Bai Nuan enough time to digest it.
Bai Nuan did not interrupt in the middle, but just nodded from time to time to show that he was listening.
[It's really that movie "Tears", a story of a heroine's revenge, it fits! ]
[This movie was shot quite successfully, it seems that the art is particularly beautiful, and it even won an award. ]
[I definitely have no chance of playing the female lead, the second female lead is set to be a charming and seductive beauty, I don't quite fit in... It seems that I am really suitable for the third female lead. ]
Bai Nuan was thinking wildly while listening.
Wan Jinglun's expression did not change, except that he would unconsciously slow down when speaking a certain sentence occasionally, there was nothing unusual about him.
"I have already decided on the role of the female lead, and now the two main roles that have not been decided are the second and third female leads, what do you think?" Wan Jinglun asked.
"I want to try the third female lead." Bai Nuan did not hesitate too much and directly stated her preference.
"The third female lead, a cold-blooded killer?" Wan Jinglun raised his eyebrows.
Bai Nuan nodded, "Yes, I'm interested in her."
[This third female role is super cool! ]
[And I think I should be able to do it, right? ]
[The second female role is really not good, it's a bit tiring to pretend to be sexy. ]
Wan Jinglun took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Nuan today.
She was wearing a jumpsuit with a brown braided belt, tied casually, and her waist was very thin. Her
long hair was tied into a ponytail, neatly tied up high, and the retro headband gave it a bit of classical atmosphere, which also echoed the color of the belt.
Neat, classical...it really suits the third female role.
The preparation work was well done, Wan Jinglun thought to himself.
"Tell me what you think of this movie. In terms of the story, what do you think are the highlights and what are the possible problems... I'm not testing you. Just tell me what you think. You can speak freely." He said.
[Uh, that's weird. I'm just a little actor. Why is the director asking me such a professional question? ]
[Isn't he testing me? That's impossible. ]
[I don't believe that your time is so precious that you would waste it on me so casually. ]
[Most likely he still wants to test me... But what will it be? ]
Bai Nuan felt very confused, but Wan Jinglun on the opposite side looked at her gently, as if waiting for her to speak.
"Then I'll just say it casually. Please forgive me if I'm wrong." She said with a dry smile, "I think the plot at the beginning where the servants protected the heroine and she escaped might be a bit sloppy. Because there were so many enemies at that time, and there were many masters among them..."
Bai Nuan began to talk nonsense.
It's not entirely nonsense, because some of the points in it are indeed small flaws that will appear in the movie itself, and they are also the places that may be criticized after the release.
Bai Nuan didn't tell the whole story, but just picked out two or three details and expressed her own opinions.
Other than that, it was all exaggeration.
Wan Jinglun didn't stop, just looked at her and talked until Bai Nuan's throat was about to smoke. She couldn't help but stop and drink a sip of tea. Then he spoke:
"I can see that you have put a lot of thought into it. These suggestions are very pertinent. I will consider them carefully. Here is a document. You can take a look at it first. We will discuss the content later."
"Then you..."
"I'm going to make a phone call. It may take a few minutes for me to come back." He said, "Sorry."
"Okay, it's okay, you go."
Wan Jinglun nodded and went out with his mobile phone.
Bai Nuan looked at the document.
The document was about the movie "Tears", and there were many things in it that were very detailed.
For example, the expected shooting period, the filming locations, the team members, and the detailed introduction of each role.
Even the cost plan is written in it!
Bai Nuan just took a look and felt confused——
[What the hell is this, didn’t I say I was only interested in the third female role? Isn’t such a document too detailed! ]
[Is this really something I should read? ]
[Why do I feel like I’m not interviewing for the supporting actress, but for the assistant director? ]
[Forget it, since he gave it to me, he must have his intentions. I’d better take a look, otherwise I won’t be able to answer anything when he comes back. ]
Bai Nuan didn’t understand, but had to do it.
Wan Jinglun left the private room and watched the door close. However, her voice was still coming from inside.
There was not even a trend of the volume getting smaller.
He glanced at the door and waved to the waiter at the door.
They understood and turned away.
In this way, he was the only one here. There was not even a single extra passerby. The surroundings were quiet.
Then, the time had come.
Wan Jinglun looked at the door, then stepped back one step at a time.
[Tsk, this investment is really not small.]
Step back again.
[The filming location is good, I like this kind of real-life crew the most.] Step back again. [This heroine has so many parts, I'm so jealous, when can I take the role of the heroine?] Step back again
