"Xu Lu, you called me back from the capital. Is it really because you said on the phone that you're going to give me a leading role? If so, I'll take it seriously!"
In the office, Dilraba spoke with some anticipation.
She was originally in Beijing, looking to see if she could participate in any variety shows.
Unexpectedly, Boss Yang called her back, saying that Xu Lu had a role for her to play, so she didn't need to wait in Beijing to participate in any variety shows.
When Dilraba contacted Xu Lu herself, Xu Lu said on the phone that he would offer her a leading role, but if she didn't want it, then forget it.
Upon hearing this, Reba exclaimed, "How can I let this go?" She immediately bought a ticket from the capital and flew back to Hongcheng with great excitement.
However, before coming to find Xu Lu, she first watched a live show with her best friend before coming to Xu Lu's place.
Hearing Dilraba's words, Xu Lu smiled and handed her a script, saying:
"Whether it's a hoax or not, you'll know for yourself once you see it."
Dilraba took the script, read it for a while, and then said excitedly:
"Fang-Hui? You let me appear as the female lead Fang-Hui in this 'Fleet of Time'?"
Xu Lu, Xu Lu, you've finally fulfilled your promise from a long time ago to give me the female lead role..."
However, before Reba could finish speaking, Xu Lu quickly interrupted:
"Wait, I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"
"What did I do wrong? You just said it was for the female lead, and you've already changed your mind so soon?"
Dilraba was a little unhappy.
Xu Lu rubbed his forehead, picked up one of the other two scripts on the desk, handed it over again, and said irritably:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm the kind of person who breaks his word? The script I gave you was wrong."
It's not 'Fleet of Time', it's 'My Deskmate', and the female lead is 'Zhu Xiaozhi'.
"Do you think you can handle it? If not, I'll have to find someone else to play the role!"
When Dilraba took the script again, she glanced at the contents and confirmed that the female lead was indeed the 'Zhu Xiaozhi' that Xu Lu had mentioned. Only then did she realize that the other party had not been playing a trick on her.
Her face immediately lit up with a smile. She hugged the script to her chest, nodding vigorously, and said:
"Of course I can handle it. I'll take the lead role. There's no way I'll give it to anyone else."
"Only a fool would give up this spot! She's the female lead!"
Reba muttered to herself.
However, she quickly remembered the 'Fleet of Time' she had just seen and asked curiously:
"Xu Lu, that script you just saw, it's not another movie your company is going to make, is it? Making two youth campus dramas all at once? By the way, you're not going to play the male lead in 'Fleet of Time' either, are you?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Lu shook his head and said:
You guessed the wrong answers to both of your questions.
In fact, Daxu Culture plans to produce more than two youth campus dramas; in fact, three.
Besides the 'Fleet of Time' you just saw and the 'My Old Classmate' in your hand, there is another one.
The second question is, I will not be playing the male lead in 'The Year in a Hurry,' but another artist from the company named Peng Yuyan will play the role, and the female lead will also be chosen separately..."
"That's good!"
I don't know why, but Dilraba said that.
But soon, she heard Xu Lu across from her suddenly say:
"Besides playing the male lead in 'My Old Classmate,' I will also be the male lead in another drama."
"What?"
Dilraba exclaimed in surprise.
She only played the female lead in one drama, while Xu Lu was going to play the male lead in two dramas. Wouldn't that mean there was another drama where he would be paired up with someone else?
"What 'what'? Why are you yelling like this for no reason?"
Xu Lu glared at him, clearly annoyed.
Reba suddenly felt a little guilty and said:
"It's nothing, I was just a little surprised, it's nothing serious!"
In fact, she had been itching to know who the female lead would be in the other drama.
However, Xu Lu seemed to have skipped over the question at this moment and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
This left Dilraba looking quite conflicted.
"Then why are you still hanging around here? I've already given you the script. Filming starts in two days, so hurry back and study your character carefully. You also need to memorize your lines as soon as possible. Counting numbers is not allowed in my crew!"
Xu Lu glanced at Reba, who was standing there dumbfounded, and offered a reminder.
"Who counted the numbers? I'm not the kind of actor who can count numbers."
Just you wait, I'll definitely play this role well and won't let you down!
Provoked by Xu Lu, Reba immediately forgot her previous thoughts, huffed and puffed, and then quickly turned and left.
Xu Lu smiled as he watched Reba slam the door and leave.
After thinking for a moment, he made another phone call.
About half an hour later, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and a pretty figure quickly appeared:
"Mr. Xu, you wanted to see me?"
Xu Lu nodded and smiled, indicating:
"That's right! Yifei, come, come, sit down. How's it going with acting in 'The Story of Minglan' lately? Are you adapting well?"
"It's good, but I've almost finished filming my scenes, so I have a lot of free time!"
Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said this.
Xu Lu nodded and said:
“I know your situation and that you have a lot of free time, so I have a role available. Do you want to take it?”
