Chapter 354 A Twist of Fate
"Wait a minute, let me talk to the other party."
Half an hour later, she sent Shen Xuewei a number on QQ.
Yunli: This is the contact information for the person on the other end who is responsible for communicating with me. They want to talk to you in detail, so you can talk to them yourself.
Shen Xuewei replied with an OK, then picked up her phone and dialed the number she had given her.
When the call was connected, Shen Xuewei introduced herself.
"Hello, I am the author of 'The Record of Fields in Turbulent Times'. As you scan the poem, my surname is Shen."
It wasn't surprising that they received her call.
"Ms. Shen, hello. I'm Liu Xuru, the person from the company who is in charge of liaising with you."
"I've heard about the conditions you just mentioned. I'm sorry, but I may not be able to meet your requirements at the moment."
The person in charge on the phone explained, "The director in charge of this drama doesn't like people assigning roles to him; all roles require an audition."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei was somewhat disappointed, but the other person continued:
“However, Miss Shen, since you recommended this person, we can give him an interview opportunity. If he passes the interview, the role can be finalized.”
"Of course, the male and female leads are excluded. If they can't pass the audition, we can consider whether there are more suitable roles later..."
This was a complete turn of events; apart from the male and female leads, anyone who passed the audition could be cast.
Shen Xuewei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. "That works too."
She never thought of achieving instant success by making Xu Yue the female lead, as that was impossible.
Aside from the female lead, any role that gets an audition is a great opportunity to play.
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and then added Shen Xuewei on WeChat.
WeChat was officially launched last year, but not many people around Shen Xuewei use it yet. Therefore, although she also has WeChat, she still uses QQ to chat with people online more often.
Her WeChat friend list now has only a pitiful forty-odd people.
Now, with Liu Xuru added, we have exactly fifty WeChat friends.
The details of the cooperation were briefly discussed on WeChat, and there were no major disagreements.
Although Shen Xuewei is the original author, she is not a professional screenwriter. There is another screenwriter, Gu Xu, for this drama, and the two of them will work together on the adaptation.
She received a contract from Star Track Productions and also added screenwriter Gu Xu on WeChat.
Screenwriter Gu Xu: Ms. Shen, there are some details in the adaptation that we need to discuss in person. I wonder when you will be able to find the time to come to the capital.
Shen Xuewei calculated her vacation days.
It's already January 17th, and the winter vacation ends on February 25th, so there's still more than a month to go.
However, she had already told her second aunt and uncle a few days ago that she would be going back in the next few days...
It's Wei, not Wei: I'm basically available from January 30th to February 25th, and you can arrange the time as you see fit.
The two finalized the time via WeChat. Shen Xuewei sat in front of her computer, thinking about her work that was about to be adapted for the screen, and a surge of passion welled up inside her.
If this adaptation is done well, it will also benefit her future adaptations, so we can't afford to be careless.
She glanced at the time and realized it was already noon. She decided to go downstairs for lunch, do some big shopping at the mall in the afternoon, and then catch a flight back to Italy early tomorrow morning.
Lu Jiayi was unusually still in the dormitory at this time. When she learned that Shen Xuewei was going down to eat, she went down with Shen Xuewei.
Even after a night's rest, she still looked somewhat haggard and weak, and seemed to be under a lot of pressure.
Shen Xuewei rode her bicycle, beckoned her to get on, and headed towards the cafeteria.
However, halfway there, the bicycle chain came off.
The two awkwardly dismounted from their bicycles and pushed them to a tree nearby so they wouldn't block anyone's way.
Shen Xuewei squatted down and tried to fix it a few times, but found that she still couldn't put the chain on.
Lu Jiayi also reached out and tried to press it, but found that she couldn't press it up either.
"How about we leave it here for now, and then we can take it back to someone to fix it after we finish eating?"
Just as Shen Xuewei was about to nod, a clear voice came from behind her.
Did the chain break?
Shen Xuewei subconsciously looked up and first noticed the basketball the other person was holding.
"Do you need any help? I've repaired bicycle chains before, I can put them back together and fix it for you."
The wind lifted the boy's wisps of hair from his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead and relaxed eyebrows and eyes.
At this moment, she smiled broadly, revealing a set of dazzlingly white teeth, each one perfectly aligned, making her look refreshed and radiant.
He smiled brightly and warmly. Seeing Shen Xuewei nod, he tossed the basketball in his arms to a few friends not far away and squatted down to fix the bicycle chain for Shen Xuewei.
"Wait a minute, I have some tissues. This chain is dirty, it has oil on it, it'll be hard to wash off your hands..."
However, by the time she took the tissue out of her pocket, the boy had already put the chain on for her in no time.
"Okay, it's installed now, give it a try."
He took the tissue from Shen Xuewei and casually wiped his somewhat dirty hands.
When he realized he couldn't wipe it off, he didn't say anything, only that, "It's okay, I'll wash it with water in the restrooms over by the basketball court later."
Shen Xuewei said gratefully, "Thank you."
The boy waved his hand and stepped back, "No need to be polite, it was just a small favor. I'll be going now, bye!"
He backed away and walked back to his friends, and together they headed towards the basketball court.
Shen Xuewei tried the bicycle and found that the chain was indeed installed and it could be ridden normally.
She pushed off hard with her foot, and the bicycle sped off a few meters. Lu Jiayi then jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle.
She put her arm around Shen Xuewei's waist, turned her head to look behind her, and saw the boy who had helped them fix their bicycles and had already walked away. He then turned back and glanced in her and Shen Xuewei's direction.
I just don't know if they're looking at her or at Shen Xuewei.
Noticing her gaze, he quickly turned his head back.
Seeing this, Lu Jiayi's lips twitched, forming an upward curve.
Shen Xuewei and her companion arrived at the cafeteria, ordered their food, and then sat down to eat together.
After lunch, Shen Xuewei left her bicycle with Lu Jiayi, asking Lu Jiayi to ride it back for her, while she left the school and headed straight for a large shopping mall near the school.
After a few hours of enjoyable shopping in the mall, I had a full-body treatment at a high-end spa.
After coming out, I felt like I had lost two pounds.
She bought quite a lot of things, but luckily the mall staff helped her take them out and even kindly hailed a taxi for her.
Shen Xuewei thanked the staff member, casually slipped him a few hundred yuan, and then got into the car.
After returning to her dormitory with her belongings, Shen Xuewei quickly organized them and packed them into her suitcase.
Everything I needed to take home still filled two suitcases.
After tidying up everything, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to rest.
I glanced at Lu Jiayi's bed; she was no longer in the dormitory, probably at the hospital taking care of her grandmother.
