Chapter 350 Why does she do that?
Jinxiao Entertainment Reception Room.
The staff member knocked gently on the door and poked his head in. "Teacher Ali, Sister Kuan has finished her meeting and asked you to go to her office."
"good."
Chen Li stood up and looked at Wang Chuhan beside her: "Chuhan, wait for me here, I'll be there in a moment."
Wang Chuhan nodded slightly excitedly. The reception room was a glass room, so she could clearly see the work area outside. If a star passed by outside, she could also see it clearly.
Chen Li went straight to Sister Kuan's office. Sister Kuan was sitting in a chair, looking down at a thick file. When she looked up and saw Chen Li coming, she couldn't help but smile: "Congratulations on wrapping up, Li."
"Thank you, Sister Kuan."
Sister Kuan put the information on the table, opened the drawer, took out a small red box and handed it to Chen Li: "Here, a small gift for you."
Chen Li was slightly stunned, and quickly reached out to take it. When she opened it, she saw that it was a small gold gourd pendant.
Sister Kuan spoke softly, "I had this blessed by a master last week when I went to Fuguang Temple. Every artist who signs with me gets a small gift like this. I wanted to give you a golden pear, but it was hard to find, so I picked this little gourd instead. It's shaped like a pear and has a nice meaning!"
After hearing Sister Kuan's explanation, Chen Li suddenly felt that the golden gourd in her hand had become heavier.
Everyone knows that Sister Kuan is a Buddhist. Objects blessed by devout people will definitely be very effective. Chen Li was extremely moved and grateful.
"Thank you, Sister Kuan. I will definitely keep it with me at all times."
Sister Kuan smiled charitably, picked up the thermos on the table, and asked Chen Li to sit on the sofa in the office. Then she asked with concern: "Is this drama very exhausting?"
Chen Li nodded slightly. Although the shooting period was not long, this subject matter was extremely painful for her to shoot. Director Xiang Tian also told her that this was still the effect after weakening the suffering of the prototype of the incident.
Although she had put herself in the character's shoes and immersed herself in the role, she still could not imagine how much suffering the original character had endured.
"That's normal. You're new in the industry and still lack some experience. Actors who have been filming for decades tend to get into roles easily but also get out of them quickly. You probably need some practice in this area. Since this role is so demanding, you should take some time off and slowly detach yourself. There's no need to rush into new roles."
"Thank you, Sister Kuan. I thought the same thing. I want to go back to school to study for a while."
But Sister Kuan still came up with a new script.
"Take it back and take some time to watch it. It's a realistic youth drama. There's a character named 'Nan Qiao' in it, and she's one of the main actors. See if you're interested. I think you might be willing to give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li picked up the script and found that the cover was blank, without even the name of the project.
Sister Kuan explained at the right time: "The title of the drama is still under discussion. I know you rejected that youth campus-themed script before, but you didn't reject it because of the subject matter, but because of the character."
"But the character of 'Nan Qiao' is very unique. She's a rebellious teenage girl with a quirky personality, which is a very strong contrast to you, so I think you might be interested."
"Take a look first. Putting yourself into a new role will help you detach from your previous one sooner. If you decide you don't want to act after watching it, that's fine too. Don't feel pressured."
Chen Li stared blankly at the script for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Sister Kuan, asking somewhat uncomfortably, "Sister Kuan, if I want to act, this role will be given to me, right?"
Sister Kuan nodded subconsciously.
Seeing this, Chen Li lowered her eyes, and then said: "Why? Because I am your artist, so..."
Chen Li didn't know how to ask the following questions, but she suddenly had such doubts in her heart.
Maybe you won’t notice anything after watching one or two plays at the beginning, but you should have some realization by the third play!
Why should she?
This doubt wasn't about a lack of confidence in herself or Sister Kuan, but rather that she knew full well how fierce the competition was in this industry. She was just a newcomer, and even if signing with Sister Kuan meant she could continue to have opportunities, it didn't mean she could choose roles at will, or even refuse scripts from the company...
Why should she?
Because your sister invested in this drama! Sister Kuan thought to herself.
But of course she couldn't say this in front of Ali. Even if Ali wanted to know about this one day, her sister had to tell her in person!
"You don't understand this question now, but you will understand it in the future." Sister Kuan said in a deep voice.
What she said was really skillful, and it frightened Chen Li for a moment.
Chen Li thought it was just some in-circle rules that she was not familiar with. She guessed that maybe it was really because of Sister Kuan that she had such good resources.
Just as I was digesting the thought, there was a knock on the office door.
It’s Ji Chuhe!
Chen Li quickly stood up and greeted: "Sister Chu He!"
"Little A-Li!" Ji Chuhe was still beautiful, her eyes shining brightly on A-Li: "It's finished, is everything going well?"
Shen Li nodded: "It went quite smoothly."
Feeling that Ji Chuhe had something to discuss with Sister Kuan, Chen Li turned to look at Sister Kuan: "Sister Kuan, I'll go back first. By the way, I'd like to apply for half a month's paid leave for Xiaoyun and Apan. Is that okay? They've been filming with me in the mountains for two months and it's been really hard..."
"Okay, let's have them report their personal information to the finance department and fill out a form."
"Thank you, Sister Kuan."
After saying goodbye to Ji Chuhe again, Chen Li left.
As soon as the door closed, Ji Chuhe's pretty face fell and she walked straight to the seat opposite Sister Kuan and sat down.
Sister Kuan observed her reaction and frowned, "What's wrong?"
"I won't act!"
These three words were crisp and clear, with a very firm attitude.
Sister Kuan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. Seeing this, Ji Chuhe pouted and said, "Sister Kuan!"
"Oh my, have you read the script yet? You're saying you won't act?"
"I haven't seen it!" Ji Chuhe curled her lips. "But I really don't want to play this kind of urban youth-themed role anymore. Sister Kuan, don't you think my roles are too repetitive? The audience hasn't gotten tired of it, but I've been tired of it for a long time. I want to play something different, something groundbreaking!"
This was not the first time that Ji Chuhe had suggested to Sister Kuan that she change her acting style and career path, but Sister Kuan never agreed.
Ji Chuhe's scripts and roles were all decided by Sister Kuan. In other words, Ji Chuhe has reached her current position as the top actress step by step, and every decision was made for her by Sister Kuan.
This time, Sister Kuan shook her head as expected: "Wanting to break through is a good thing, but not now. The time is not ripe yet!"
Ji Chuhe was so tired of hearing this that she shook her head speechlessly and looked at Sister Kuan and asked, "Then why can Xiao A-li play whatever role she wants? She just entered the industry, so is the time ripe for her?"
Vote for Sister Kuan
She will ask Buddha to bless you
