He saw Cen Muxue looking regretful as she flipped through her contacts and said,""Actually, a talent scout deals with newcomers like you. It's normal for there to be no calls from celebrities. As for this Old Xu, he's a friend.”
Cen Muxue nodded and said," After hearing your story, I feel that you're not suitable to be a talent scout. You should be a screenwriter. You might even be better than Ou Junwei."”
"This is fate. You can't become a screenwriter just because you have some creativity or know how to write novels.”Shen Han explained with a bitter smile. For so many years, he had been despised by his two friends, who were big names in the literary world. He was still somewhat disheartened.
At this moment, a text message rang. Cen Muxue immediately handed her phone over. Shen Han smiled."It's fine. I don't have any shameful messages. Just read them and tell me.”
Cen Muxue read the message and said,""There's a person called Quan Hilie who said that the four actresses have schedules for the first half of the year. He asked if you've chosen them. If you haven't, there's no need to rush.”
Shen Han had gone home too late yesterday and fell asleep the moment she reached the hotel, so she did not have time to check the information of those actresses. When she saw Quan Hualie's text message, she immediately asked Cen Muxue to open WeChat and look at the pictures of the four actresses." You make the decision. I can't video call them for a role with very few scenes. I also have to eliminate three of them. That would hurt our relationship."”
Cen Muxue looked at it for less than half a minute before she pointed at a girl and said,""This one is not bad. Her surname is polyphone. She looks quite refreshing.”
Shen Han took a glance and immediately said,"Alright, we've decided to invite this actress to play the wife of the Medical Hero Kim Jeong-Dong."?”
Cen Muxue was very surprised and asked him if he could make a decision. Shen Han said that he was confident in recommending such a role that did not have many scenes. He also said that the second batch of direct invitations would be released tomorrow and asked her to pay attention.
When the meal was almost over, Cen Muxue took out a professional pen and paper from her bag and drew a portrait of Bai Liya. She then asked Shen Han if she looked like her.
Shen Han took a look and felt that it was Bai Liya. Moreover, Fragrance of the Jade Man was actually another Bai Liya. It was written to commemorate the lost novel.
Cen Muxue smiled." Then you can take this painting with you and find a suitable actress."”
Shen Han quickly said that there was no need for that because the company was planning to invite the Japanese actress, Mao Inoue, to play the role of Fragrance of the Jade Man. Cen Muxue replied with an " oh " and said,""I see." It was a little regretful, but Shen Han was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she still accepted this hand-drawn painting as a gift.
After chatting for another half an hour, Cen Muxue exchanged phone numbers with him before they parted ways.
When they returned to the hotel, Shen Han contacted Qu Junwei and told him about how she knew Cen Muxue. She hoped that he would add a character to Cen Muxue. The condition was that the character had to follow the main storyline and be easily remembered by the audience.
Qu Junwei was shocked." There are so many roles that haven't been chosen yet, and you want to add one more role. Why do you have to do this? Before all the roles are chosen, you can just randomly arrange one in front of everyone. No one will gossip about it."”
"The main reason is that four roles have already been decided internally. I hope to leave more roles to the film and television school students who have come to apply.”This was Shen Han's thought process." Besides, her image is very special. She's not suitable for the existing characters in my novel. She's also not a professional actress. I can only add one more character. It's best if it can make up for the flaws in the plot.”
"You really are an imagist. Alright, I'll think for you.”
While Shen Han was waiting for Qu Junwei's reply, she suddenly realized something. She immediately called Yang Jianian and told him her thoughts. Yang Jianian agreed.
After that, Shen Han mustered up her courage and called Old Xu. She first introduced herself and said,""Ms. Xu, on behalf of Carnival Film and Television Company, I would like to officially invite you to play the role of Liu Yinshi in 'The Fragrance of the Jade Man'.”
Old Xu said,"I told you before that I will have a TV series and a movie in the first half of next year."”
Shen Han laughed." But you will be releasing an official announcement in an hour, stating that it is fake news that you are going to star in Wind and Cloud 2. I don't think that's wrong."”
Old Xu really had nothing to say. This news should only be known by his manager, assistant, and the higher-ups of the fan club. He wondered who had betrayed him.
"Madam Xu, I guess you've been waiting for this call because you believe that you must have something to do with such a TV series. That's why we've arranged for you to be the director of the literary drama team. There are two directors in this literary drama team, and one of them is you.”
Shen Han saw that Old Xu didn't say anything and didn't hang up the phone, so she knew that Old Xu might have been moved." All the fans know that you want to be behind the scenes and a director in the future. Now, the opportunity has come. Not only can you change your acting style, but you can also change your career. Under the circumstances where you're already successful, such an opportunity is far more important than a two-minute role in a movie. Even if I didn't make this call, you would have fought for it from Boss Yang yourself.”
After saying this, his chest was pounding. He was really worried that Old Xu would reject him.
After he finished speaking, Old Xu was silent for a full ten seconds before saying,"I will release the official news in an hour, but I may postpone it because I want to know if I can sign a contract with Carnival Pictures now.”
Shen Han was extremely excited. She immediately said," I know you're at home in the capital. As long as you agree, the people from Carnival Film and Television's economic department can go over and sign the contract immediately. It will probably take an hour and a half. You just have to delay the official website's news by an hour."”
After the discussion, Shen Han hung up the phone and had dinner before calling Cen Muxue. "Hey, have you seen your idol's official news?”
Cen Muxue was a little nervous." I don't know why," she said." The official news said that it would be postponed."”
Shen Han smiled." It's alright. You can wait for it slowly. Remember to come to Peking University's gymnasium tomorrow no matter what."
Half an hour after the call was cut off, Qu Junwei called and asked,""Do you think she's a mature woman? She's 26 years old.”
Shen Han repeatedly said yes.
" Then, based on Madam Cen's culinary skills, we'll add one of the chefs of the Jinling branch of the Iron Swallow Sect. She's also a purple-robed assassin who uses a rolling pin as a weapon. This rolling pin hides a short sword and kills people invisibly. Her public identity was set to be a widow whose husband had died many years ago. She was set to be around 32 years old and had a crush on Hai Wuya, an important supporting role around 55 years old. This way, it was not easy to cut her scenes and the final ending might be a tragedy. Of course, this way, it was easy to get familiar with her.”
Shen Han was overjoyed and said,"Very good. That way, I will be worthy of the dishes I have eaten."”
"You're a good person. I've never seen anyone as good as you. You've specially created a character for two dishes.”Then, he hung up the phone.
Shen Han was very touched. She really hoped that she could work with this young man in the future and help Boss Yang build a career in the film and television industry. However, the other party was writing scripts for a famous American director, and Boss Yang might not use her in the future. This idea was basically unreliable, so she did not plan to think about it.
Just as she was about to watch TV and wait for Cen Muxue to call her to feel her joy at Old Xu joining the crew of " Fragrance of the Jade Man," the next call was from the female artiste from Korea, Qi Enshi, whom Cen Muxue had selected together with her. After she said a few words, the interpreter told Shen Han,"Thank you very much for your invitation. She said that if possible, she can also sign a full contract with Carnival Film and Television because she has always wanted to develop in China, but the premise is that you are in this company.”
Shen Han thought to herself,"At the beginning of the year after next, it's a problem whether Carnival Film and Television Company exists or not." However, he still expressed his gratitude for his decision.
After chatting with Kindness for ten minutes about the movies and TV series in Korea, the call ended. And this phone call made Shen Han feel even more fulfilled today. She felt a sense of accomplishment. A model and actor from Korea actually signed a contract with Celestial Empire for her. Was there anything more to be proud of than this?
However, he hadn't been happy for long when Yan Zhenghui called." Don't you know that I'm one of the two directors in the literary drama team? In the end, when Old Xu came, I was transferred to be the director of the selection of extras. It's nothing. You even said that we'll work together in the future. Why didn't you discuss it first?"”
Shen Han felt very guilty. She said," I'm sorry. My scope of authority does not include knowing who the director of the literary drama team is. I only know that there are two spots. Can you tell me who the other one is? Is there any room for negotiation?"”
Yan Zhenghui laughed out loud, but his laughter sounded extremely miserable."The godmother of Hong Kong's ancient idol dramas, do you think I can replace her?”Then, he hung up the phone.
Shen Han didn't expect Yang Jianian's boss to spend so much money on this movie. He could even hire such a talent. The director's reputation was very scary, but Yan Zhenghui was troubled.
After watching TV for half an hour, Cen Muxue suddenly called and said excitedly,""That's great, that's great. Sister Xu will be acting in the drama 'Fragrance of the Jade Lady' next year, and she's also one of the directors of the literary drama team. That's great. Fans everywhere are going crazy and excited. They're all happy that Sister Xu can become a director.”
Shen Han then told her about the role she was going to play, which made Cen Muxue even happier. She said that she would definitely go to Peking University's gymnasium early tomorrow to thank him in person.
Shen Han was in a good mood, feeling that this day was really fulfilling.
