Otherwise, she'll get fat from eating too much, and even if he has resources to throw at her, she still won't become famous.
Nowadays, audiences and fans all prefer thin beauties. In the slightly chubby circle, only one or two people become famous and popular. If other actors gain a little weight, netizens will start to criticize them, saying that they don't look as good as when they were thin.
More importantly, some people can eat anything and not gain weight anywhere else, but they gain weight in their belly. Some netizens will then think that they are pregnant, and if the marketing accounts spread the word, it will definitely become a trending topic.
Qiao Nansheng, who was wiping her mouth, paused and looked up at Zhou Cheng: "But I can eat a lot and not gain weight."
She shrugged as she spoke, looking utterly helpless: "It's not that I don't want to gain weight, it's just that I can't gain weight no matter what I eat, there's nothing I can do about it."
Zhou Cheng: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel like hitting her?
Liu Xu coughed, glanced at Qiao Nansheng, then at Zhou Cheng's expression that looked like he wanted to hit someone, and held back her laughter.
"Is there anything else you want to take? If not, then leave." Zhou Cheng said indifferently, glanced at Qiao Nansheng, and stood up to walk out.
She shook her head: "That's all."
Then she stood up, ran to the sofa, grabbed her bag, and chased after him outside.
The two were changing their shoes at the door when they noticed a box by the door. Qiao Nansheng paused for a moment and asked, "Aren't you coming back later?"
"Hmm." Zhou Cheng raised his hand to check the time and said, "The audition location is a bit far. Director Ming is filming another movie. If we get there early, we'll have to wait until he's having lunch before the audition starts."
As for meals, they will definitely invite him to eat together when they arrive. They won't talk about work while eating, and will hold the audition after they finish eating. It will be around one or two o'clock by then, and he will have Sheng Zhuo take him to the airport. If nothing unexpected happens, he will make it in time.
"Oh, okay." Qiao Nansheng nodded, indicating that she understood.
The two changed their shoes and went outside. Sheng Zhuo had already driven the car out of the garage, right across from the living room.
Zhou Cheng put the box in the trunk before getting into the car.
Director Ming is in Hengdian at the time, so they can just go there directly.
Hengdian in City C is located near the airport. It takes two hours to drive there from Shuixie Yunlan.
Qiao Nansheng didn't sleep well last night. She originally wanted to take a nap in the car, but she was too excited about the upcoming audition and couldn't fall asleep at all. So she simply took out the script from her bag and started reading.
Zhou Cheng was holding a script next to her, working on Xingji Entertainment, when he suddenly noticed Qiao Nansheng making a move. He turned his head and saw her take out the script he had given her last night from a bag that was about the size of his palm.
The script was crumpled into a ball and wrinkled. Qiao Nansheng took it out and smoothed out the wrinkles before starting to read it.
Zhou Cheng: "..."
He looked at Qiao Nansheng speechlessly, "Couldn't you have gotten a bigger bag?"
"Huh?" Qiao Nansheng turned to look at him, blinking her eyes as if she didn't understand why he would say such a thing: "Why do you want to change your bag? I just bought this bag, it's not broken, I'll just buy another one if it breaks."
Zhou Cheng took a breath and said, "The script is fragile and can't withstand this kind of handling."
"Oh." She nodded and said, "Then I'll pay attention next time, and I'll carry it with my hands if I can."
I'm definitely not changing my bag.
Zhou Cheng understood the underlying meaning in her words and was momentarily at a loss for words. He rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly, "Whatever."
If it's broken, it's broken. He has extra backups; he can just give her another copy later.
Qiao Nansheng chuckled and then lowered his head to continue reading the script.
She hadn't finished reading the entire script of "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms," only the brief introduction and a small part of the opening.
To truly understand the character of Qingniang and play her well, the most important thing is to read the entire script. The second most important thing is to figure out her personality, gradually immerse yourself in the role, imagine yourself as Qingniang, and get into character.
This is what Zhou Cheng told her last night.
Qiao Nansheng thought what he said made a lot of sense.
She flipped through a few more pages, but then she couldn't continue reading. The script was different from the novel, and she preferred reading novels to scripts.
She had followed the official Weibo account of "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms". Ever since Zhou Cheng told her about the character Qingniang, she had searched for the official account on Weibo and learned that "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms" was adapted from the novel of the same name.
The adapted version of "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms" is definitely different from the original novel. After Qiao Nansheng couldn't stand reading the script, she decisively threw it aside, took out her phone, searched for the original novel online, and then followed the website to find the mobile app reading software download.
She logged in using WeChat, and the homepage featured a recommendation for "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms," which she clicked on to start reading.
Qiao Nansheng was extremely focused when reading the novel, completely immersed in its world. She didn't even hear Zhou Cheng calling her from the side, her eyes only on the book.
After watching for a while, Qiao Nansheng sighed softly: "A novel is a novel, and a script is a script. No matter how you change it, it will never be as good as the original."
However, each has its own unique characteristics.
The problem is that there are too many changes. Some necessary scenes that cannot pass the censorship will be deleted instead of being replaced with others, which will make many fans of the original work dissatisfied.
For example, Qiao Nansheng had already read several chapters. After reading each chapter, she would check the comments left by the readers. She saw that many people were boycotting the adapted drama, and some people said that they could not find actors in the entertainment industry to play Cheng Yunxiu and Lin Qiao, and told them not to act in it so as not to ruin the drama.
The official Weibo account for "The Blooming of Pear Blossoms" has been created, but the cast members have not yet been revealed.
Mingqiu is very strict when it comes to casting. She will not release information about who will be the lead or supporting actors until the costume photos have been taken.
Hearing her sigh, Zhou Cheng looked up at her and said in a calm voice, "The original novel is too explicit and violent. It's already quite good that we were able to sign a contract with Xingji to film a Taiwanese drama. If you want to follow the original novel exactly without any changes, you're probably asking for criticism from the central government."
Qiao Nansheng was taken aback: "Yellow and violent?" Her focus was always so strange.
"How explicit is it?" she pressed, her face full of curiosity, especially wanting to know where he meant by the explicit content in "The Blooming of the Pear Blossoms".
At least from the beginning of her reading until now, ten chapters have been read, each with three thousand words. She has read thirty thousand words and the content is completely clean. She has not yet seen the explicit content he mentioned.
She didn't know until he told her, and after he did, Qiao Nansheng suddenly wanted to skip the clean scenes and go straight to the explicit content.
Zhou Cheng knew exactly what she was thinking, and his face darkened: "There's nothing to see here. Stop reading the novel and focus on the script. Think carefully about Qingniang's character so you don't lose your footing during the audition."
"No, I feel very strong right now," Qiao Nansheng said confidently. "I only chose to read the novel because I couldn't get into the script. Don't you think it's better and easier to understand Qingniang from the original novel than from the script?"
