When Jiang Ling finished the reshoots, it was already noon. Su Yan said he would treat them to a meal and talk about their cooperation.
The two agreed, and together with the assistant director, the four of them found a private room in a hotel.
As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, the three people present were stunned.
"Huh?" Jiang Ling suspected she had misheard. "Director Su, are you going to let Zhou Jing'an be the leading actor in your next movie?"
The assistant director sighed and was a little worried about attracting investment for the next movie.
Zhou Jing'an was also surprised. As far as he knew, the male and female lead roles needed to be played by people with both acting skills and fame. Based on these two points alone, he did not meet the requirements.
Su Yan chuckled, "To be honest, I've been polishing the script for this movie for two years, but I still haven't decided on the important role of the male lead."
He looked at Zhou Jing'an, "But when I saw him today, I felt that we were compatible."
Jiang Ling thought, it's hard not to be attracted to each other, right? After all, Zhou Jing'an's figure, appearance, and temperament are really hard to find in modern times.
"After testing his skills, I am even more determined to let him play the male lead." Su Yan patted his chest, "I'm serious, I'm not lying to you."
Jiang Ling was secretly astonished, somewhat amazed at Zhou Jing'an's luck and charm.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to agree to your request."
Jiang Ling was stunned and looked at Zhou Jing'an.
He looked serious and said, "I have never studied acting and I am not qualified for such an important role."
Su Yan was stunned and a little surprised.
No one would refuse such a pie-in-the-sky offer so quickly, right? Besides, he was currently unemployed.
"You don't have to reply so quickly. Think about it carefully." Su Yan continued, "I can show you a short script first. The character of this male protagonist is not that complicated. He is more of a pure chivalrous and courageous person. I think it suits you very well."
Su Yan took out a tablet, flipped out a page of electronic script and handed it to him.
Jiang Ling nodded, "You can take a look first."
After all, opportunities are rare.
"Okay." Zhou Jing'an took it. Su Yan looked at Jiang Ling's eager expression and nodded with a smile, "You can take a look too."
He thought Jiang Ling was a very smart girl and there was a role suitable for her in the script.
Jiang Ling thanked him and the two of them read the script together.
Before she could say anything, Zhou Jing'an frowned.
"There are kissing scenes, and I can't do it."
How could he possibly kiss someone else? Not even if it was fake.
Su Yan was stunned. Looking at Jiang Ling smiling awkwardly at him, he smiled helplessly and said, "There are only two intimate scenes where we can borrow shots. There isn't much love between men and women in this play. At most, they just hold hands and hug."
Zhou Jingan still shook his head, "I can't do it."
Jiang Ling pursed her lips, turned her head and whispered to him, "If it's just holding hands and hugging, that's fine."
This script is very good. Just from this short paragraph, she feels that it is a very mature script that can stand up to scrutiny. If Zhou Jing'an can star in this movie, it will be a very rare opportunity.
As soon as she finished expressing her attitude that she would not be jealous, Zhou Jing'an slightly widened his eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and then showed a look of grievance.
How could that be? Jiang Ling couldn't push him out.
Jiang Ling was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
No, why does it make her seem like a heartless woman?
"That's not what I meant. These are all part of artistic creation, it's all acting." She still had to defend herself, otherwise the director opposite would think she was a scumbag.
Zhou Jingan grabbed her hand under the table and held it tightly, "No, I can't do it."
Seeing his firm attitude, Jiang Ling stopped trying to persuade him and respected his opinion.
Su Yan was a little disappointed when he saw this, but then he heard Zhou Jingan say, "But I see there's a character in this that I really like."
"Which one?" Su Yan looked up quickly.
"He Xuan."
The third male lead in this drama is a usually taciturn but righteous knight. After meeting the male protagonist, he becomes a close friend. He has few scenes and only appears in the second half, where he and others help the male protagonist overcome difficulties.
He Xuan's character is simple, his personality is calm and indifferent, and there are not many story lines, which suits him very well.
Zhou Jing'an continued, "He Xuan's personality is quite compatible with mine. Ling'er can give me some training so that my acting skills won't be too distracting. He also has a relatively calm personality and few lines, so I won't mess up my performance."
Jiang Ling silently marveled at the fact that he could say these words, and once again sighed that those seven days were really like a rebirth, how could there be such a big change.
Su Yan smiled slightly when he heard this, "What else?" He looked at Jiang Ling unconsciously.
Zhou Jingan understood that he had seen through his meaning, and said bluntly: "Xiao Hui, He Xuan's wife, is very suitable for Ling'er."
Su Yan laughed. This brat didn't even forget to find a job for his wife.
He knew at first glance that this guy was a henpecked man.
Hehe, this point coincides with his opinion.
Jiang Ling was stunned. She quietly squeezed his hand under the table and said softly, "Don't worry about me for now. My contract expires in two months. I don't plan to renew it, and I don't want to take on any long-term roles anymore."
It is easier for an actor to make money than in other industries, but now she has a family and Zhou Xian is still so young and needs someone to pick him up and drop him off at school every day. She plans not to renew her contract and find another job with regular working hours so that she can take better care of Zhou Xian.
Zhou Jing'an frowned, but before he could say anything, Su Yan said, "This shouldn't be a big problem. The drama I'm currently filming will be finished within two weeks, and I'll start filming this movie right after that."
