Chapter 62
62 Tangled
Hou Xiling was a traditional writer. He was getting on in years. As he had graduated from the first Academy, he had been invited back to his school to give a speech as an Honorary Alumnus. He had left a deep impression on Jiang se.
He was a rigorous and serious person. The few works he published were all very in-depth and could dig deep into human nature.
The characters that hou Xiling had created, even if they were insignificant supporting characters, all had different souls.
After listening to hou Xiling’s speech, Jiang se remembered that she had even bought a few of his works to read. His books had his own style, but most people would not be able to focus on them and appreciate the stories in them.
Perhaps because of this, hou Xiling wrote fewer works in his later years. He did not expect that he had already entered the entertainment industry and become a movie screenwriter.
When Jiang se saw that the screenwriter was hou Xiling, she picked up the script out of her trust in this senior who had come from a top academy.
In fact, in this drama, Lin xiwen’s only choice was to play the role of a woman who flirted with men. If it was the old Feng Nan, he would never have thought that he would one day consider entering the entertainment industry, let alone play such a role.
When assistant li saw Jiang SE’s actions, she frowned slightly.
Her temperament was cold, and her actions were elegant and natural. One could tell at a glance that she was from a good background and had a good upbringing. From the way she spoke, it could be seen that she was not very suitable for the role of ‘doukou’ in ” event of Beiping.
Jiang se looked like a lady from a wealthy family. No one would associate her with a woman who was busy with men. She did not exude a sense of vulgarity. She did not have a depraved or dark side.
In the beginning, when he had sorted out this role for her, it was purely because Gu Jiaer had emphasized that this newcomer was especially beautiful when he had called her.
In ” events of Beiping, ” the character ‘doukou’ was coincidentally an extremely beautiful woman. Therefore, when Special Assistant li was giving instructions to the company, he included the character in the script for Jiang se to choose.
“Miss Jiang, I personally think that with your temperament and beauty, you’ll have no problem acting as Chang ‘e and the seven celestial maidens.” She took another look at ‘the Grand occasion of Beiping’ and said hesitantly, ”
after meeting you, I think you’re more suitable for the role in ‘God Erlang quelling the chaos in the world’.
Before Jiang se could say anything, assistant Li’s phone suddenly rang.
An apologetic smile appeared on assistant Li’s face. After gesturing for her to pause, she got up and answered the phone.
“Mister Lin.”
She walked out of the living room and called out “Mr. Lin “. Jiang se wondered if Lin xiwen had called her.
Assistant li was standing in the outer room. The living room was separated by a transparent glass, so Jiang se could see what was going on outside. She noticed that assistant li was frowning while she was on the phone. She looked troubled.
She seemed to be speaking in a low voice, her expression a little conflicted.
Jiang se guessed that if the call was from Lin xiwen, the expression on assistant Li’s face might have something to do with her.
Her eyes fell on the script in her hands again. Assistant li could probably tell that she was more interested in “events of Beiping” than “God Erlang’s pacifying the chaos in the world.
If Lin xiwen had said something that made assistant li feel a little embarrassed, it should be related to the ‘doukou’ character in “Beiping event.
As she picked up the script, she thought about how she could persuade Shangjia company if she wanted to take the role.
To Jiang se, acting as a ‘social butterfly’ was not just a challenge to her acting skills. At the same time, it was also a challenge to her previous views and ideas. She had many things to overcome.
‘Doukou’ appeared earlier in the event of Beiping. She first appeared in the most famous and largest Pear Garden on Tianqiao Street, watching the performances of the famous actors on the stage.
In the script, she was described as beautiful with a bit of charm, without a trace of seductiveness, and with a bit of melancholy between her eyebrows.
The second time she reappeared, she was already fighting with men, welcoming and sending people to survive in that chaotic era.
When she flirted with men, she did it with purpose and desire, but she liked to go to the pear Garden on Tianqiao Street on the 7th of every month and quietly listen to the play for the whole day.
In Beiping, she was a woman with a bad reputation, but she had a complicated side.
Jiang se had only flipped through a few pages of the script when she began to get some clues about doukou’s life.
This was exactly hou Xiling’s writing style. He would start from the subtle characters and write a different story for each person.
So far, although Jiang se had a certain prejudice against the character setting of a “doukou,” in general, hou Xiling’s script was indeed extraordinary. She was rather interested in the “doukou” character in “events of Beiping.
Assistant li, who was outside, had just finished her call. When she came in, she looked hesitant. After some thought, she sat down and looked at Jiang se apologetically.
“I’m sorry, miss Jiang, but because of my mistake, director Lin said that he already has a suitable candidate for the role of ‘doukou’ in ‘events of Beiping’.”
Previously, assistant li had been judging Jiang se. As Lin xiwen’s closest employee, she had been rather distant when she spoke to her. However, due to the accident that had happened to her character, her attitude had softened significantly.
This was especially so when Jiang se was obviously more interested in ” events of Beiping ” than ” Erlang the God quelling the chaos in the world “. She was also careless because of Shangjia company. She touched her ear uneasily.
if you choose ‘Erlang the God quelling the chaos in the world’, we can discuss in detail about the remuneration. After all, this mistake was caused by my mistake.
There were two meanings in her words. One was that if Jiang se was willing to star in ” God Erlang’s pacifying the chaos in the world ” this time, she would be paid a higher salary than when she was filming ” the 99th love letter ” with Zhao rang’s crew. She intended to use the salary to calm the situation.
Secondly, Gu Jiaer’s phone call was indeed very important. Lin xiwen and Gu Jiaer, the two directors, might have had a private agreement.
It was very likely that Gu Jiaer had paid a price or made a promise when he fought for a role in Lin xiwen’s movie for her because Jiang se was a reasonable person. That was why Lin xiwen’s Shangjia entertainment had offered three roles for Jiang se to choose from.
She also informed Jiang se that Lin xiwen had already taken a liking to someone in ” the Grand occasion of Beiping. she was willing to offer Jiang se certain conditions for the role.
