Chapter 216 You said, who?
Today's scenes were much simpler than expected, and Bai Nuan breathed a sigh of relief after the filming.
Then, he thanked Wan Jinglun in his heart.
[It was an accident, but I got to take a day off. Long live Director Wan! ]
Seeing Bai Nuan's slightly cheerful back when she finished work and left the set, Wan Jinglun couldn't help but smile, which made the assistant director next to him wonder what he said to make Director Wan laugh.
After a while, Director Wan received a call.
"Aunt Chen? It's convenient, you say... recommend someone?"
His voice was a little surprised.
The person who called was an old actress, Chen Fang, who he had worked with when he first entered the industry.
In terms of friendship, there is a little bit, but only a little bit.
At that time, Director Wan had just started working. Seeing that the young man was handsome and studied hard, Chen Fang took the initiative to talk to him. Her words were full of didacticism, as if she treated him as an ordinary worker.
Director Wan did not reveal his identity. He was polite to this proactive and enthusiastic aunt.
Later, Director Wan's identity was revealed, and he went from being a "handyman" in a crew to the current Director Wan.
Chen Fang has always been proud of her own vision. She thinks she is very accurate in judging people. She immediately discovered Director Wan, a potential stock, and her attitude towards him was like that of a friendly junior, with a natural familiarity.
She didn't call him very often. The last time seemed to be during the Chinese New Year, so Wan Jinglun was still very surprised to receive her call out of the blue.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fang said that she knew he was about to start filming a movie, so she wanted to recommend him a female actress she was very optimistic about.
"Aunt Chen, since you have asked, I certainly have no objection. However, the main roles in the play have been selected. If you want to recommend someone, it is not impossible, but the role may not be large, and the other party may not be satisfied."
Wan Jinglun has seen this kind of thing of stuffing people into the crew, and he has his own way of dealing with it. If
the relationship is particularly good and the person recommended by the other party is indeed capable, then do a favor, anyway, the other party will have to pay it back in the future. If
the relationship is above average, then just be perfunctory, and whether to give it or not depends on your mood.
If the relationship is average or below, just turn it down.
Chen Fang... is in the third category.
But after all, the other party is an elder, so he still has to save some face, so Wan Jinglun's refusal is also very professional.
The main roles have all been decided, and you can only force someone to play a minor supporting role.
The other party has already asked for it, and generally will not be satisfied with a minor supporting role, so after pushing it back and forth, it will naturally give up.
If even a minor supporting role is willing to accept, then Wan Jinglun will not have any objections, anyway, there are many supporting roles in a play, just give one casually.
The ugly words have been said in advance, even if the role is small, the other party will not be dissatisfied, and if there is dissatisfaction, it can only be suppressed.
"Xiao Wan, you see Aunt Chen rarely speaks up, I know you are in a difficult situation, but I am very optimistic about this actress. Are you still not confident in Aunt Chen's judgment? She will definitely be famous in the future. If you use her now, it may also be good for your movie, don't you think?"
Chen Fang said earnestly.
There was a deep meaning in her tone and words, which actually meant that she wanted a better role.
It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the minor supporting role and wanted to snatch an important role for that person.
Wan Jinglun was polite but also regretful. "Of course I know Aunt Chen's vision. Otherwise, I will wait until the next play to see if there is a role suitable for her. This play has indeed been decided. I also selected the actors and actresses. They are very much to my liking."
Who knows when the next play will be? Maybe by then Chen Fang will have forgotten about it.
Even if she remembers, the actress may not be available.
Even if she really remembers and has a schedule, then whether there is a role suitable for her is still up to Wan Jinglun.
"The next play is the matter of the next play. She just happens to have a schedule recently and wants to work. Why don't you give her a chance to perform? How about this, I'll let her go to your crew tomorrow, and you let her audition. Maybe she can perform better than the first and second female characters in your play! If not, the third female character is also OK."
Chen Fang kept pursuing her.
Wan Jinglun was so angry that he almost laughed.
She even thought about the heroine in her own play.
He knew very well that Chen Fang hadn't mentioned the name of that actress for such a long time, which meant that her fame must be very low.
If she was higher than Zhao Zhi and Zheng Niaoniao, or even the same as them, Chen Fang would definitely say her name directly, instead of just playing the emotional card like now.
So Wan Jinglun wanted to continue to refuse.
But——
"I know this will make you embarrassed, but Xiao Wan, there are not many actresses as serious and hardworking as Youyou. Her current low point is only temporary. Who said that there is no one to support her when she is so clean and honest? It is destined that the road will be more difficult. I really admire her, so I recommend her to you. You should consider it." Chen Fang sighed.
Wan Jinglun was stunned, "Who did you say?"
"It's Youyou. Her name is Xue Youyou. She is indeed a little less famous, but..."
Chen Fang said a lot more afterwards, but Wan Jinglun didn't listen anymore.
After hearing the name Xue Youyou, some story lines were connected in his mind.
Bai Nuan, Xin Sheng, Xue Youyou, Zeng Qi.
With Xue Youyou, will other "male supporting roles" also appear in front of her one after another?
"Let her come over, let me take a look." Wan Jinglun said with relief, "But Aunt Chen, I can't guarantee to give her any role. The specific result is still subject to the distribution of roles. I will talk to her myself tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"
Meaning: I have the final say on what role to give. It has something to do with Xue Youyou, but not with you.
If this doesn't work, then you don't even need to come tomorrow.
Chen Fang was overjoyed after hearing this, because Wan Jinglun's willingness to give in was already a pleasant surprise.
"Okay, then you guys discuss it among yourselves tomorrow, and I won't interfere anymore."
It was already her ability to successfully get someone to join the crew, and the rest depended on Xue Youyou's own ability.
If she didn't win, it wouldn't be her fault.
After hanging up the phone, Wan Jinglun's eyes sparkled with some expectation.
That night, Bai Nuan felt her body lighter.
She had passed the most difficult level.
So she turned on the happy surfing mode, and during this surfing, she found another duet challenge on the Internet.
The song was sung by Lan Yu, a male singer with great talent and many fans on various platforms. The song is
a duet between a man and a woman, and Lan Yu only recorded his own part, leaving the female part for netizens to pick up.
