Shang Yechu read the script of "The Mute Woman" again, and then realized that she had forgotten an important question.
He was so busy conspiring with Ji Juntao that he forgot to finalize which role he would be playing.
This film has been downgraded from an award-contending work to a practice piece, so there's no need to worry about the amount of screen time; just choose the most suitable one.
In "The Mute Granny," the most suitable role for Shang Yechu is undoubtedly the granddaughter. This granddaughter's name is Xiaoyue, her father is Yongfu, her mother is Pinghua, and her aunt is Yongjuan. As for the mute granny, she is simply called the mute granny; her name is not mentioned anywhere in the script.
Shang Yechu carefully studied Xiao Yue's scenes, and the more she read, the more she realized that she could hardly empathize with the character.
This is a character whose life is completely opposite to Shang Yechu's.
Xiao Yue was born into an ordinary rural family where the preference for sons over daughters was quite prevalent. Many relatives urged Xiao Yue's parents to have a second child after her birth. Yongfu and Pinghua resolutely refused their persuasion and devoted themselves to raising Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue's grandfather named her "Xiuli," but Xiao Yue's mother, Pinghua, secretly changed it to "Xiao Yue," meaning to surpass others.
Although Xiao Yue was not favored by his relatives as an only child, he was cherished by his parents from a young age. Despite their poverty, Yongfu and Pinghua gritted their teeth and sent Xiao Yue to a good school in the county, making him the first child in the surrounding area to graduate from a village primary school.
Xiao Yue is very smart and has had excellent grades since childhood, which has earned her the favor of her teachers and the envy of her peers.
Xiao Yue...
Shang Yechu lay on the bed, tossing her phone aside, staring blankly at the old ceiling of the guesthouse.
I really don't know what to say about Ji Juntao. Is she her boss or her nemesis?
Why must Shang Yechu experience the pain of a character who is completely opposite to herself?
Shang Yechu took out a notebook from her bag and began to write and draw on the paper, just like Ji Juntao.
For each character he played in the past, Shang Yechu would write a short biography of the character. The biography of Princess Pingzhao was five pages long, and that of Xiao Fengque was eight pages. This time, it was time to write about Xiao Yue.
The ballpoint pen drew a straight line on the paper, but the line quickly turned into a jumbled mess. Shang Yechu's thoughts were in turmoil, and he was too agitated to write anything.
Shang Yechu picked up her phone and made a voice call to Ji Juntao.
"Damn it!" Ji Juntao's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone: "You'd better have something important to say."
"Do you have the original author's contact information?" Shang Yechu asked. "Give me one."
"Yes." Ji Juntao clicked his tongue. "Why didn't you just type it out and send it over?"
"Leaving text records is so dangerous. Aren't you afraid someone will see our chat history?" Shang Yechu urged. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Don't tell her my real identity."
"I'm really fed up with you." Ji Juntao snorted coldly. "Then I'll just tell her you're a staff member of our studio. I'll go buy a privacy screen protector tomorrow."
"By the way, I'm going to play the granddaughter. Who are you planning to cast as the mute grandmother?"
