Assistant Yan was slightly taken aback. This newcomer to the entertainment industry was taking notes in a way that rivaled many veterans in the industry.
Seeing these detailed annotations, Assistant Yan's goodwill towards Bi Xie increased even further. He smiled and introduced, "The novel *Tian Sheng Fox Song* has twelve unit sections in total. Zhang Jingchu has already been chosen for the role of the main female lead, Fei Niang. The female leads for the other eight units have also been cast. Currently, only Bai Lu and Du Xiao remain as the unit leads—"
"These two roles have quite a lot of lines in 'The Legend of the Fox Spirit,' and the pay will definitely satisfy you," Assistant Yan said after a pause, seeing that the girl was listening attentively. "Bai Lu plays the old lady's maid in that episode. She has a lot of lines, but they are not difficult, and the acting skills required are not very high, so it is very suitable for newcomers."
"Du Xiao is the apprentice of the chief镖头 of Tianxia镖局. She has been disguised as a man for many years and has many action scenes in the drama. Miss An has no experience in filming action scenes before, so it may be quite difficult to film."
As he spoke, Assistant Yan kept watching An Xie's expression. If she frowned even slightly, he would stop talking. But An Xie didn't say anything; instead, she seemed to be thinking.
Assistant Yan smiled with satisfaction and offered his analysis, "The salaries for Bailu and Duxiao are almost the same. I don't really recommend that Miss An choose the role of Duxiao. Miss An is a newcomer, and the production team will not arrange a stunt double for her action scenes. She will inevitably get injured during filming."
Bi Xie smiled in response and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Assistant Yan, but neither of these roles is what I wanted to choose."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Yan looked slightly taken aback.
Don't want to choose any of them? Does Miss An mean she's refusing to participate in "The Legend of the Heavenly Fox"?
"Ms. An, to be honest, Director Zhang has put a lot of effort into this drama. As long as you act well and learn from your seniors, you will definitely make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry after 'The Legend of the Heavenly Fox' airs. This will be very beneficial for you to sign with a management company and take on other new roles later! You can consider it again."
Bi Xie ran his finger over the character names on the script and smiled, “Assistant Yan, you misunderstood. I meant that Du Xiao and Bai Lu are not the characters I wanted to choose. The character I’m interested in is Hong Ou.”
Red lotus root?
Assistant Yan frowned slightly, racked his brains, and finally remembered the character Hong Ou.
Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone in his suit pocket suddenly vibrated.
Assistant Yan apologized, "Ms. An, please wait a moment while I take this call."
Bi Xie smiled and nodded.
A few minutes later, through the glass door, Bi Xie saw Assistant Yan glance in her direction.
"Honghong, what is he saying?"
"He who eats another's food is bound to him," the little imp in the red bib twitched his ears and frowned, saying, "It seems they're talking about changing the actress, recasting, and not letting her play the lead role in an episode. They gave instructions over there..."
Bi Xie frowned. Assistant Yan had just glanced in her direction. Could this call have been made because of her?
Although Wang Manni and others have some experience in the entertainment industry, Director Zhang is known for his impartiality and incorruptibility. It is extremely rare for actors to bring their own funding to the production of his films and television dramas. He has to review every actor's work.
Last time at Jinjiang Guofu, Director Zhang was clearly quite satisfied with her, so he shouldn't suddenly make a last-minute change of actress.
As Bi Xie was pondering, Assistant Yan pushed open the door and walked in, smiling apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss An, Director Zhang just called. There have been some changes to the roles of Du Xiao and Bai Lu. However, Director Zhang said that if Miss An is willing to play the role of Hong Ou, then he can make the decision directly as compensation for Miss An."
The decision was made, meaning there was no need for an audition.
