"Oh my god! That's Director Jiang's assistant calling!"

"Director Jiang! Jiang Mingxin! A famous director! A living poster boy for popular operas!"

Sheng Yuan turned on the hands-free mode and put the phone on the table, her voice rising and falling: "Oh~~"

Zhang Bai asked in surprise: "Do you remember?"

The girl's fair face was expressionless: "I don't know her."

Zhang Bai: “…”

"It's like this, Director Jiang's new play has a fifth female role, and he wants you to play it!"

"Oh my god, can you believe this? Director Jiang said that you don't even have to audition and can go straight to the crew to start filming. This is absolutely unprecedented!"

At this moment, Zhang Bai felt as if he was hit by a big pie falling from the sky, and he felt dizzy with surprise.

"And as far as I know, the role of the fifth female lead was fought over even before it was decided! Who would have thought that it would fall to you!"

"It's not surprising that you would think it was a scam call!"

Zhang Baige laughed out loud: "If it were me, I would also think it's fake. But, you just have to be happy in secret, hahahaha!"

"Well, hurry up and pack your things! We'll leave for the theater tomorrow—"

Before he could finish his words, the girl on the other end took a sip of water and wiped her mouth lazily: "No."

Zhang Bai choked with excitement:?

"Nothing, I'm hanging up."

Sheng Yuan said this and was about to turn off her phone.

"Hey hey hey!" Zhang Bai was stunned. He never thought Sheng Yuan would refuse: "No! Little Ancestor, why?!"

"Not interested."

Zhang Bai: ? ?

If those female celebrities who are frantically using their connections just to get an audition opportunity heard this, they would be furious.

"My dear, this is not a question of whether you are interested or not. Look at your online reputation, it's much better now, right? And you have so many fans."

"Then should we continue to work hard on our business? Make persistent efforts? Create more glories?"

"Look at those few crappy web dramas you filmed before. They were ranked last on Douban! You're simply being nailed to the pillar of shame."

"Have you ever thought about counterattacking?"

Zhang Bai kept on talking and spreading chicken soup, but there was no movement on the other end of the phone.

"Alas, there was once such a good opportunity in front of you, but you didn't cherish it. You will regret it when you lose it..."

"Well, since you insist on not going, I will help you refuse."

"This time the filming location is at the film and television city in the west of Beijing. A crew without a certain level of fame can't afford to use that location. It's about the same level as Hollywood. I thought you could go and experience it..."

"Okay, I'll hang up first--"

"etc."

Sheng Yuan suddenly spoke up: "Where are you talking about?"

The next morning.

The nanny car was parked outside the Sheng family’s single-family villa.

Zhang Bai sat in the passenger seat, stroking his chin, and spoke mysteriously to the driver: "I think when I get old and retire, I can become a chicken soup motivational speaker!"

“It will definitely have a bright future!”

Otherwise, how could he persuade the little ancestor to agree to act in Director Jiang’s new play!

He is awesome! "Lao Liu, you think so too, right?"

The driver, Lao Liu, who was munching on a meat bun with his mouth full of grease, didn't hear clearly what Zhang Bai was saying at all, and just responded with a few perfunctory "hmm".

* "When we get to the film studio, we'll have to attend the script reading session before filming begins."

Zhang Bai said this as he took out the script from his briefcase and handed it over.

"Take a look first and get familiar with the role."

"Although I am the fifth female lead and don't have too many scenes, in Director Jiang's dramas, no character is redundant. They are all very distinct and have their own personal characteristics."

Zhang Bai's inner thoughts: What the hell! He suspected that Director Jiang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to be so depressed.

Sheng Yuan took the script and started reading it.

Less than three minutes.

She snapped it shut and threw the script onto the seat next to her.

Zhang Bai:? You've finished reading it already? Holy shit! To say I was perfunctory would be an understatement!

It's over! I'm not going to be kicked out of the crew on the first day!

The girl had already zipped up her coat, her delicate chin hidden in her collar. Her lively little face was expressionless, and her tone was indifferent: "Do me a favor."

"Book me a suite near the film and television city, the kind with a kitchen."

"Two months."

Zhang Bai:? Before he could ask the question, the girl had already leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to catch up on her sleep. Her crow-feather eyelashes cast a layer of light and shadow under her eye bags. The light from the window shone in, and her skin was so white that it was transparent.

“…”

The car was parked in the parking lot under Chengxi Film and Television City.

Zhang Bai took Sheng Yuan to a building with a very modern decoration style.

Along the way, many people hurriedly passed by with their work badges. On the electronic screen in the hall, you could see the areas divided into different floors with the words of certain crews written on them.

After getting off the elevator, the two walked for a full five minutes and stopped outside the "Honor Family" area.

Director Jiang’s new play is called Glory Family.

Zhang Bai was like a chicken with blood pumped up: "Come on! Little ancestor! I'll pick you up after the study session! Go, go, go!"

The girl responded with a lazy yawn.

Zhang Bai: “…”

Then she hummed lightly and turned around.

The two glass doors sensed someone and opened, and she walked in.

Passing through a quiet corridor, Sheng Yuan was about to turn the corner——

A slightly sharp female voice sounded: "Who's in front?"

Sheng Yuan turned around.

I saw a girl who was probably in her early twenties, with a lively and lovely appearance. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, and was wearing a light green dress. Her makeup was very delicate. She was crossing her arms and looking at me with a somewhat arrogant attitude.

Behind her was a plump girl wearing black glasses who looked like her assistant.

This is the girl who just spoke.

When they saw Sheng Yuan, they were obviously surprised: "Why is it you?"

Sheng Yuan didn't say anything. The two people in front of her looked very unfamiliar. She frowned slightly, indicating that -

She had no impression of them at all.

Xu Miaoyin's assistant Xiaoyu's face suddenly looked a little bad, and she gritted her teeth and reminded him, "Yesterday, at the Yichun promotion conference, you and our Miaoyin were on the same stage."

"Our Miaoyin is this year's new Star Girl!"

His words were full of boasting, as if he wanted to announce his pride to the world.

Sheng Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xiaoyu sneered: "Now you remember it, right?"

"So, how did you get here?"

"Don't you know that this is the office area of ​​Director Jiang's crew? No outsiders are allowed to enter at will!"

Xiaoyu raised her chin and questioned Sheng Yuan with a haughty tone.

"Leave now, don't wait for the security to come and chase you away."
