Director Zhang nodded and walked into the rest room. When he saw Su Jianan and Jiang Ying standing, he raised his hands to signal them not to be polite.
Su Jianan and Jiang Ying looked at each other and sat down in tacit understanding.
Director Zhang also sat down, looking thoughtful, as if he was organizing something unspeakable.
Su Jianan has great confidence in Jiang Ying, but she still inevitably feels nervous.
Jiang Ying also looked at Director Zhang anxiously, but she was more cautious than Su Jianan - she looked at Director Zhang's hand calmly.
Director Zhang said that after auditioning, he would directly sign a contract with a suitable actor.
However, when Director Zhang came in, his hands were empty.
Jiang Ying realized that she was not the chosen one.
Her strength is indeed not comparable to that of Han Ruoxi. Director Zhang just came to tell them the results personally out of Lu Boyan and Su Jianan's face to show respect for them, right?
Jiang Ying silently digested the result as quickly as possible, then raised the corners of her lips with a smile: "Director Zhang, just announce the result! I'm mentally prepared."
Director Zhang looked at Jiang Ying: "You were still very nervous when I came in, but now you are not nervous at all."
"Quick digestion - this is an essential skill for an actor!" Jiang Ying smiled brightly and respectfully.
"Yes." Director Zhang agreed with an appreciative expression, "Strong psychological quality can greatly improve your ability to withstand stress on the set. Not bad. Jiang Ying, I think we will have a great time working together."
"...Huh?" Jiang Ying was stunned and didn't even react. She looked at Director Zhang in disbelief, her voice trembling a little, "Director Zhang, you, you mean..."
Director Zhang stretched out his hand toward Jiang Ying: "Jiang Ying, congratulations to you. The role of 'Ji Xiaoqing' is yours."
This surprise came too suddenly!
Jiang Ying took a breath, covered her mouth, and looked at Director Zhang blankly.
Is the role hers now?
She beat Han Ruoxi???
Oh my gosh!!!
"Thank you, Director Zhang!" Jiang Ying held Director Zhang's hand and stood up, bowing deeply to Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, I will definitely live up to your trust!"
Director Zhang smiled and patted Jiang Ying's hand: "I believe you can do it. Jiang Ying, you are a born actor and you should bring good works to the audience. So, please work hard."
Two complex emotions of gratitude and excitement were intertwined. Jiang Ying simply didn't know what to say. She could only nod her head sincerely, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.
She will not disappoint Director Zhang. Her performance will surely surprise the audience!
Su Jianan was secretly relieved and very happy at the same time. But after all, she was several years older than Jiang Ying and could control her emotions well. She was not as obviously excited as Jiang Ying. She just smiled and said to Director Zhang.
He thanked her and then promised: "Jiang Ying will definitely interpret this role well."
Director Zhang nodded, stood up, and seemed to be leaving.
Su Jianan and Jiang Ying also stood up hurriedly to see Director Zhang off.
Director Zhang smiled, waved his hand, indicating no need, but did not leave in a hurry. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Su Jianan asked directly and tentatively: "Director Zhang, do you have anything else you want to say to Jiang Ying?"
"...I'm talking to you and Jiang Ying." Director Zhang rubbed his hands together and then said, "We decided to ask Ruoxi to play the role of 'Yang Mi'."
Regarding the movie script, Su Jian'an has only seen the scene where Jiang Ying auditions for the role, but from that scene alone, it can be seen that "Ji Xiaoqing" and "Yang Mi" are good friends.
Han Ruoxi plays Yang Mi, which means that she and Jiang Ying will have a lot of scenes opposite each other.
Because of Su Jianan, Jiang Ying had a deep prejudice against Han Ruoxi, even though she believed from the bottom of her heart that Han Ruoxi's acting skills were beyond doubt.
As for Han Ruoxi... Even if she has no feelings for Jiang Ying, a junior, it is probably difficult to ignore the fact that she is an artist under Su Jianan...
These two people want to play close friends in the movie...
Before the filming of the movie even started, they had to break through a psychological barrier.
Jiang Ying came back to her senses, her expression obviously more embarrassed than before: "Director Zhang, I..."
Su Jian'an knew what Jiang Ying was going to say, so she decisively interrupted her: "Miss Han is a very good co-star, and Jiang Ying can definitely learn a lot." The implication was that Jiang Ying wanted to play good friends with Han Ruoxi, and she
Not only did she not have any objections, but she felt that this was a good learning opportunity for Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying looked at Su Jian'an and could only swallow her rejection and nodded, expressing her agreement with Su Jian'an's words.
"Okay." Director Zhang said with satisfaction, "Then we look forward to the cooperation between Jiang Ying and Ruoxi."
Su Jianan and Jiang Ying nodded in agreement.
Director Zhang pointed in the direction of the door and signaled that he was leaving. Jiang Ying thought for a while, then called Director Zhang and said, "Director Zhang, I have another question, and I want to delay your time for a few more minutes."
Director Zhang glanced at Jiang Ying in surprise, then at Su Jianan. Seeing that Su Jianan had no reaction, he motioned to Jiang Ying to ask.
She thought Jiang Ying wanted to say what she wanted to say about going back.
In fact, Jiang Ying's questions are all about herself——
"Director Zhang, I want to know why you chose me to play 'Ji Xiaoqing'. I...I was also there when Miss Han performed. I think...she acted very well." The more Jiang Ying said, the more embarrassed she became, "I
I was thinking, maybe... did you give me this role out of the face of Mr. Lu or our Director Su?"
Director Zhang obviously did not expect that this was what Jiang Ying wanted to ask. He glanced at Su Jianan in surprise, thinking that Su Jianan would have the same unexpected feeling as him.
However, Su Jianan was very calm - she knew Jiang Ying too well and guessed early on that this was what Jiang Ying wanted to ask.
Because of Su Jianan's calmness, Director Zhang decided to answer Jiang Ying's questions calmly.
"Jiang Ying, if I would hinder Mr. Lu and Director Su's reputation, I wouldn't let you audition with Ruoxi. Wouldn't it be easier for me to sign a contract with you directly?"
Does this mean...approval of her performance?
Jiang Ying's big round eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips unconsciously, looking at Director Zhang.
Director Zhang continued: "I decided to let you play the role of 'Ji Xiaoqing' because your performance completely changed my mind and made me feel that the role of 'Ji Xiaoqing' must be yours. No matter how proficient an actress is in her acting skills, she can't compete with her."
But your image can better shape the role of 'Ji Xiaoqing'. What's more, your acting skills are also very good. I really can't find a reason not to give you this role."
This is simply a comprehensive affirmation in all directions without any blind spots!
"Thank you, Director Zhang, for your affirmation!" Jiang Ying smiled brightly, "My confidence in myself instantly increased! Director Zhang, I won't waste your time here, you can go and do your work!"
After Director Zhang left, someone sent a contract. Jiang Ying signed the contract readily and left the lounge humming a little tune.
As the saying goes, the road is narrow for enemies.
As soon as they came out of the lounge, they saw Han Ruoxi and her agent in front of the elevator. Han Ruoxi also saw them.
Jiang Ying was stunned, and when she was thinking about how to solve this deadlock, Han Ruoxi smiled at them and said, "Congratulations."
Han Ruoxi took the initiative again?
"Well... congratulations to you too." Jiang Ying said generously, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
Han Ruoxi smiled and nodded: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
At this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding, and Han Ruoxi's manager entered the elevator first with a arrogant attitude.
Jiang Ying made an excuse and asked Han Ruoxi and her manager to leave first while they waited for the next elevator.
"Sister Jian An, am I smart? This way I can avoid embarrassment!"
Jiang Ying turned around to ask for praise, but found that Su Jianan had fallen into deep thought at some point, so she had to stretch out her hand and wave it in front of Su Jianan: "Sister Jianan, what are you thinking about?"
Su Jianan was thinking about Han Ruoxi.
There is nothing in the world that Han Ruoxi can't get, only things that she doesn't want. Because of this pride, Han Ruoxi never gives up easily.
Even though something big happened four years ago and her career suffered a fatal blow, she still maintained her dignity and pride in front of the media.
But this time, she lost to a young junior like Jiang Ying, but she was so indifferent.
Although she got the role of "Yang Mi", what Han Ruoxi wanted was "Ji Xiaoqing". So, she lost in the end.
What's strange to Su Jian'an is that when they met unexpectedly just now, Han Ruoxi was very indifferent. Even her "congratulations" sounded extremely sincere. She was very generous and open-minded as a senior in the entertainment industry, but her past pride and strength were missing.
Has Han Ruoxi changed, or...
"Sister Jian An, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Ying asked again.
Su Jianan prevaricated and pulled Jiang Ying out of Director Zhang's studio.
When she opened the car door, she realized that Lu Boyan had sent someone over.
Although the people who came were wearing casual clothes and moving very low-key, she could recognize them.
Lu Boyan is worried that Han Ruoxi's purpose of coming back is not pure, and what will he do to her?
When he goes back, he must tell him that he thinks too much.
Su Jianan and the team leader looked at each other, then got in the car and asked the driver to take her back to the company.
Back at the company, Su Jianan went straight back to the office. When passing by the secretary's office area, she received a meaningful look from the secretary. She asked what was wrong, but the secretary refused to answer.
It was getting late, but the work was still piling up. Su Jianan didn't waste time, opened the office door directly, and then - was stunned.
Lu Boyan is in her office.
Needless to say, the people he sent there must have sent him a message when she came back.
Su Jian'an finally understood what the secretary's look meant. She closed the door behind her back and walked towards Lu Boyan, saying, "Mr. Lu, if you came here during work hours, is that considered lazy?"
Lu Boyan looked businesslike: "Surprise inspection."
Su Jianan walked up to Lu Boyan and looked at him with a smile: "What's the surprise inspection? Me?"
