extra 2.1
For a period of time after the holiday, Xu Jingning started working intensively and kept his Weibo account open for two consecutive weeks. His fans all lamented that he was so hardworking and totally unlike himself.
Everyone thought that his team had some work adjustments to make, but this request was actually proposed by Xu Jingning himself. He worked around the clock, and was so busy that Yan Xun, with a gloomy face, managed the time for others, and only then did he slow down a little.
In the end, he managed to complete all the notices he received within two weeks. In addition to the promotions that had already been released, the remaining content was enough for Xu Xingcheng to help him release for a month.
The reason for squeezing out so much time was because Xu Jingning had developed a strong interest in the drama that Yan Xun mentioned.
Yan Xun actually mentioned it to him on the day of the holiday, but Xu Jingning didn't take it seriously at the time. After he came back and started thinking about his next job, he realized that the director had extended an olive branch to him.
And this is indeed a very good book.
This is a criminal investigation drama with a group of characters. Both the main plot and the personal growth lines of the main characters are portrayed very well. This is a drama that will definitely become a hit as long as it is promoted properly.
"I have never had a hand in casting, but since the screenwriter thinks you are suitable, I suggest you give it a try."
The next day, Yan Xun arranged a meeting for the two of them, and the location was set to be in Yan Xun's studio.
"Long time no see, Xu Jingning."
Xu Jingning originally thought that he had arrived very early, but it turned out that Chang Le was already sitting inside. He was wearing a loose hooded sweatshirt and was slouching in a recliner, holding a cup of almost empty milk tea in his hand.
Xu Jingning subconsciously said, "Sorry for the long wait."
As a result, Chang Le greeted him and waved, then quickly took a sip of milk tea and threw the empty plastic milk tea cup into a trash can a little further away. His movements were neat and skillful, as if he had done it a thousand times.
Yan Xun followed Xu Jingning in. He was not surprised at all. He just kindly reminded her in a calm tone, "Be careful. If Chang Xiao sees you, I can't save you."
Because of his words, Chang Le froze for a moment, then sat down obediently and started the topic forcefully: "Let's talk about the script!"
The content of the script sent to Xu Jingning was biased, and he could probably guess that Chang Le wanted him to play the protagonist, the captain of the criminal investigation team, but after repeated speculation, Xu Jingning had an idea for another role.
He didn't beat around the bush. He opened the script and asked directly, "Have you decided on the candidate for this medical examiner?"
Chang Le looked over and was slightly startled: "This is not the main character, although he has a lot of scenes among the supporting roles, but..."
"I don't have any requirements for the role. Rather than the ranking, I need some challenging roles now." Xu Jingning smiled and took back his hand. "How about it, Brother Chang, are you willing to give me an audition opportunity?"
Chang Le glanced at Yan Xun secretly, but was exposed by the other party with a smile: "What are you looking at me for, Xiao Chang, I said that our studio is just cooperating with you, and you have the absolute right to say about your work."
After all, they had known each other for a while. Thinking of the surprise Xu Jingning brought during the filming of "Linlang Pavilion", Chang Le hesitated for a moment and then chose to believe him: "Okay, how long do you need to prepare?"
"It will only take a few minutes."
Xu Jingning picked up the script again, closed his eyes, reviewed the plot, and began to build up his emotions.
There are not many plots about this forensic doctor, but a few words can depict his special status in the police station. Because of his excellent grades in school and high efficiency during internship, he was admitted to the city police station as a permanent staff member at a young age, but he is cold and withdrawn, and he is serious. He also often says some creepy words that people stay away from him. His colleagues in the police station can understand and tolerate him, and the protagonist has tried to get along with him, but every time they communicate, they can't continue because of this walking topic terminator.
Because he was used to being alone, he had no close friends, and his colleagues also thought he was cold and heartless. It was not until the story was almost over and he confronted the villain team. He was out on a field trip with the team, and when the hostages were forced into a desperate situation and the villains suddenly attacked, before others could react, the forensic doctor rushed forward without hesitation to block the bullet for the hostage, and eventually died due to ineffective rescue.
Xu Jingning had a very kind face, and even when he was not smiling, he always had a vague sense of friendliness. At this moment, immersed in the role, when he slightly raised his eyes and looked over, Chang Le unexpectedly felt a chill.
It was a feeling that had no spontaneous malice, but was cold enough to be intimidating.
And after he started speaking his lines, Chang Le was certain that Xu Jingning would bring this role to a new level.
His originally beautiful and lovable facial features are paired with a somewhat gloomy temperament, and a hint of brokenness is faintly revealed. This contrast can easily drive a certain part of the audience crazy for him.
It was indeed as he said, a very challenging attempt, and Xu Jingning's forensic medicine had pioneered something new.
Chang Le couldn't help but get excited and wanted to go back and re-elaborate on the biography of this character immediately.
Yan Xun, who was watching from the side, also knew that the role was taken by Xu Jingning.
But now, Chang Le didn't say so confidently. After communicating other processes in a friendly manner, he said goodbye in a hurry.
"The audition information for this drama has just been released. Chang Le and the director still need to go through a round of screening. The results will be sent to us in two days."
Yan Xun explained and asked him if there was anything else he wanted to know. Unexpectedly, Xu Jingning asked an irrelevant question: "Why do I feel that Chang Le is weird?"
Xu Jingning recalled that during the filming of "Linlang Pavilion", although Chang Le rarely came to the crew, every time he came, he left a deep impression on people because this old man was very strong and would ask the actors to change the script in the direction he wanted if he was not satisfied with the script in the slightest.
But I have to say that he does have a keen eye, and the content after the changes is much better than the original version, so the actors are willing to cooperate.
But when they met today, Xu Jingning could feel that underneath his uncle's surface, he was... timid.
A bluffing paper tiger.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after Yan Xun came in and spoke, Chang Le quickly restrained his temper and suddenly became extremely easy to talk to.
Yan Xun knew what Xu Jingning was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Chang Le has a younger sister, the one I just mentioned, her name is Chang Xiao. The little girl hasn't graduated from college yet, but she is very capable. She is now Tang Yu's assistant in the studio."
"In fact, she was the one who brought us together for this collaboration. I thought that a writer with such a unique personality like Chang would need some time to polish the relationship, but his sister came up with it just with one word."
Xu Jingning looked as if he was greatly enlightened.
Is this what it means to have a sister complex?
Wow, I saw the real thing.
"However, Chang Le is used to writing ancient plays. This is also his first attempt at writing a modern script. He encountered many obstacles, so he is not as accurate as he was in "Linlang Pavilion". When writing the script, he often asked Chang Xiao for reference. I heard you say that you changed the role just now. It seems that he is not sure about it and wants to find someone to help."
Xu Jingning understood: "No wonder, I was prepared for him to deny me with just one sentence, but it turned out to be so smooth.
He smiled and said, "I see. I'll go buy something for Chang Xiao. Do you know what she likes?"
Yan Xun held his forehead with his hand: "How would I know this? Why don't you ask Tang Yu?"
Xu Jingning was overjoyed, but since he had said it, he started to act. Tang Yu was on his way to attend an announcement and got a reply very quickly, so he bought some small cakes as suggested and sent them to the two of them.
Chang Le's reply came very quickly. I thought he would have to wait until all the auditions were over, but early the next morning, he secretly sent Xu Jingning a new script.
Chang Le, who had stayed up all night, was very satisfied with the new design. He couldn't help but start to act like a superior: "This is tailor-made for you. You'd better not let me down."
He also made a request: to take Xu Jingning for special training.
Xu Jingning was actually prepared for this. After all, Chang Le's scripts have always been demanding, and he would do anything to get close to the role. This time, he also played a more special profession, so some corresponding sensitivity exercises were necessary.
So he rushed to complete other work just for the training arranged by Chang Le.
I don’t know if it’s because they know a lot of different people as screenwriters, but Chang Le actually has a friend who is a working forensic doctor, and they have a very good relationship. After signing the confidentiality agreement, Xu Jingning followed that teacher as an assistant for a month.
Of course, the power there was not enough to allow him to go to the police station to help deal with real criminal cases. He just went to Pingjiang Public Security University, where his daily routine was to attend classes, follow the teacher to do cases and get to know the simulated organization.
However, there were some unexpected small surprises. One day when he accompanied his teacher to Pingjiang Municipal Bureau to deliver materials, he met several young police officers he had dealt with before. Since they had nothing to do, they warmly invited Xu Jingning to come over to "get familiar with the atmosphere". The teacher who did not pay attention to entertainment news then learned about Xu Jingning's "great achievements".
"So it was you who exposed those two cases." The teacher looked at Xu Jingning thoughtfully, then smiled slightly, "Come on, I'll take you to our office."
Xu Jingning: There is such a good thing.
So he really spent the last few days in the Municipal Bureau's Forensic Office.
On the day after returning from training, Xu Jingning suddenly felt like cooking dinner by herself. Yan Xun was worried and watched from the side, fearing that something might go wrong at some step and he would be poisoned to death.
Then, he watched Xu Jingning put on plastic gloves reverently, picked up the smallest knife, and cut the meat on the chopping board with a very professional gesture.
Yan Xun: "... Ningning, why don't you go wash the vegetables and I'll cut them."
I always felt a chill somewhere on my body, as if he was not cutting pork.
As a result, when Yan Xun finished processing the meat, he looked back and saw Xu Jingning was still washing the vegetables, peeling them one by one, washing them extremely carefully and attentively.
Yan Xun was so focused that his scalp felt numb.
He sighed, walked forward, put his arm around the person, and persuaded her to leave the kitchen.
Only then did Xu Jingning realize that his actions were a bit strange.
He had no choice but to lie down on the sofa happily and chat with Yan Xun in a random manner.
"Hey, I didn't have time to ask Chang Le, have the other roles in the crew been selected?"
Yan Xun replied without even looking up, "There are still two main roles missing. One will be decided almost tomorrow, and the other one has not been chosen yet. It's the criminal police captain you don't want."
Xu Jingning was a little surprised by the result. He raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "This casting should be the easiest. As long as the temperament is positive enough, it will be fine."
The protagonist of this book is not as important as in the traditional sense. He is more like a pure tool set up to advance the plot. He represents absolute justice, but also has some soft light of humanity, which makes the character image not so absolute.
"Well, it was easy to find in the past two years, but in today's industry, it's a bit difficult to find an actor with a good-looking and temperament, a clean background, and good character."
Xu Jingning thought of the bloody six months in the past and was silent for a moment.
Netizens have been abused a lot, and now everyone knows to be careful in what they say and do, and will not be so mindlessly led by capital. If a new actor is found, it will really not be convincing.
Originally, Chang Le wanted to ask Xu Jingning to play this role, and a big reason for this was that he was so popular with the public.
But in fact, besides him, there is another candidate who is more suitable and has more time.
"Yan Xun." Xu Jingning looked at him straight in the eyes, "Don't you want to try this role?"
