Chapter 66 Invitation



Director Li wiped away the sad expression on his face and put out a list of celebrities he was going to invite.

"The male and female protagonists that Miss Jiang selected for the crew of "Ghost Talk" are very good. I heard that some people are born with good luck and can help avoid disasters. I think Miss Jiang is such a person."

Jiang Ning thought to herself as she thought about the scratch-off lottery winnings in her wallet that she hadn't spent yet.

[If that's the case, I'm really lucky. ]

"Director Li, you're too polite. I'm not that great. As for helping the crew choose the male and female leads, I just gave some suggestions."

This attitude of "don't blame me if anything goes wrong" made the director a little hesitant. After all, he was going to make a tribute film. If there were any mistakes in the film, no capital would dare to invest in his film even if he had a high status.

Jiang Qing winked at Director Li, indicating that he should give it a try first.

Director Li sighed. He felt unwilling to come here and leave without doing anything.

Especially in today's entertainment industry, it's hard to find a few truly innocent people. He was also worried that if he chose an actor with serious scandals, the movie would not be able to be released.

Director Li glanced at Jiang Ning and decided to see if Jiang Ning had the ability. He casually pointed to an actor to be invited and said with a wry smile.

"I have no choice. This movie is released during the National Day holiday. If something goes wrong, I will lose face."

"I believe Miss Jiang is lucky. Just give me some advice. If I make a mistake, I won't bother you."

Now that things have come to this, and the other party is a top-notch director in the industry, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse. She lowered her eyes to look at the name that Director Li pointed out, and casually opened the melon-eating system to recharge her melon energy.

"This actor looks a bit fierce, Director Li, please reconsider it?"

Face? Director Li frowned. Jiang Ning is a young girl. What kind of face would she look at? Besides, although this actor often plays villains and has a fierce face, he has a good reputation in the circle. He loves his wife and children the most. Even when he goes to film, he will take time to buy some local specialties and bring them back for his wife to taste.

Director Li couldn't imagine how a man who was so kind to his wife and was such a humble and kind person would be associated with the word "evil".

Director Li looked at Jiang Qing with suspicion, as if to say, "You won't team up with Jiang Ning to fool me."

Jiang Qing gave him a look that urged him to stay calm. The director on the side also poured Director Li a glass of wine and asked him to wait.

Director Li was about to say something when Jiang Ning's voice reached his ears the next second.

[This actor will be exposed for domestic violence against his wife a month later. He locked his wife up at home without verifying her malicious speculation and restricted her personal freedom. After the incident was exposed, he was punished for both crimes and was forced to work on a sewing machine.]

Domestic violence, and locking his wife up at home? Director Li's breathing became rapid, and some detailed scenes flooded into his mind like a tide.

For example, when an artist saw that the actor lived nearby and wanted to visit him, he refused on the grounds that his children were too active and the house was a mess. Another example was when there was a party and he was asked to bring his wife, he said that his wife was worried about the children and therefore did not come.

Yes, they had met the actor’s wife before, and his wife would come to visit the set from time to time, but they haven’t seen each other since half a year ago.

Director Li and other actors thought that his wife couldn't leave and faded out of the social circle because they had a child. But if you think about it carefully, both he and his wife have parents, and their parents often pick up the child. How could his wife be so busy that she has no free time?

Director Li had worked with this actor before and knew that the actor had the acting skills to play this role well, so he wanted to invite him. Now, when he thought about this person going to go in, and seeing that the accident happened during filming, Director Li wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Fortunately, he came to Jiang Ning's place, otherwise if he let this person into the crew and the police took him away from the crew, even if his movie was not stopped, he would have to spend a lot of effort to minimize the consequences of the incident. When the movie was released, the box office might be greatly affected.

After saying that, he pointed at another actor's name and asked.

"What about these? Do you think they can do it?"

"Those three are not good, but Sister Wanyou and Sister Ningqiu are both very good in character and acting skills."

[The first one is a famous ladybug who has recruited several women abroad. The second one cheated on an actress in a previous movie. The third one was in a car accident before, causing a disability and then fleeing. They are all bad to varying degrees.]

After all these, there were only two actors who could be used. Director Li was so upset. But with Jiang Ning there, he knew in advance that they would be very tough, which made Director Li feel a little relieved.

He was about to turn to the next page of the cast list when Director Li heard Jiang Ning's inner voice.

[The melon is delicious, but it doesn’t fill me up. I’m so hungry. When can I eat? ]

Director Li changed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and quickly called the waiter, ordered all the signature dishes, and also ordered the dim sum that girls liked.

"Uncle is too anxious. Let's eat first." Director Li said with a smile. He was really grateful for Jiang Ning's help. Otherwise, if he signed these people into the crew, there would be no way he could shoot this movie.

Jiang Ning took a sip of juice and said, "I admire Director Li's professionalism. I'm young and it's okay for me to go hungry for a while."

[But I'm still growing, so if I get hungry again I'll find a chance to run away.]

Director Li straightened his body and hurried to urge the hotel to serve the food. Jiang Ning was his savior and he couldn't let her escape.

With the help of money, the dishes were served quickly. Seeing that Jiang Ning was full and had the energy to eat melons, Director Li quickly put down his chopsticks and continued to ask Jiang Ning about the list of actors.

Jiang Qinghe, the director, ate slowly, eating melon with rice, and they enjoyed it so much.

After the meal, Jiang Ning finished his snacks and ate all the melons of the actors on the list. He successfully earned a lot of melon energy, which was enough to exchange for a weapon, and brought him one step closer to exchanging for the next high-tech weapon.

Director Li took the freshly-released list and looked at the remaining one-third of the names. He sighed in his heart that fortunately he had put in a lot of backup actors in order to prevent schedule issues with the actors, otherwise the list would be like a field of melons filled with people.

After the business was over, Director Li looked at Jiang Ning and really wanted to invite her to join the crew. But thinking about it, it seemed like a good idea.

With Jiang Ning around, any problems that arise during filming can be resolved quickly without delaying the filming progress.

"Jiang Ning, are you interested in making a movie? My movie is divided into several chapters. I guarantee that the script is very good. Do you want to play a role? I will definitely not let you suffer any loss in the character setting of the script!"

Director Li's movie is full of superstars, and this type of movie is basically a must-see for some units. Now, excluding the problem of the actors themselves, there is a certain box office guarantee, and there is no shortage of box office. If they can star in it and have a good appearance rate, then they have already stepped half a foot into the film industry.

Jiang Qing, whose family works in the entertainment industry, knew how difficult it was to enter this circle, given the geographical factors and the serious capital clustering behind the major film and television groups.

At this time, Jiang Qing signaled with his eyes that Jiang Ning should agree. Jiang Ning had helped Director Li so much, and he would not give her a marginal background role. There would definitely be many benefits for Jiang Ning to play the role.
