Early the next morning, everyone walked into the conference hall where they had been staying for two days. They saw that the originally empty rectangular conference table in the hall had a cup of Xingxing's coffee and small desserts in front of each chair.
Wei Minmin was happy when she saw it, "When did my uncle become so thoughtful and finally knew how to prepare drinks and desserts for us?"
She had just sat down and was about to get some coffee and put a straw in it to take a sip. She said that her brain was really a little bloated these past two days when she was sorting out the script, so she just wanted to drink coffee to refresh herself.
Then Sheman, who had come for a while earlier, explained her confusion: "Then you guessed wrong. This coffee and dessert are really not prepared for us by the director of health."
Wei Minmin stretched out her hand and said, "Huh?"
She Man gestured towards the end of their row of seats, but looked past Wei Minmin at Jiang Lingxi who was pulling out a chair and sitting down, "Didn't Director Wei agree with Xiao Xi's proposal yesterday to let the actor who plays the palace maid Qing Yuan also Are you here to participate in the script reading? They came early in the morning and brought us so much food and drink as soon as they arrived."
Wei Minmin immediately looked in the direction she indicated, and when she saw the smiling face at the end, she frowned.
Then he suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Sister Xi, how come the actor who plays Qing Yuan is Jiang Xiyu?"
Her last impression of Jiang Xiyu was her birthday party some time ago. Jiang Xiyu and her agent came to celebrate. In fact, the drunkard didn't care about drinking, so she dismissed it with a few words.
Later, she saw that her brother-in-law was not polite to this person, and she completely forgot about it. She never thought that this person would appear in the Empress's crew.
Then I thought about the role of Qing Yuan, which was originally just a character actor. If Sister Xi hadn't suggested, "Hey, how did she pull off such a face?"
After all, he was a somewhat famous actor, but he actually competed with those young actors outside the 18th line for roles. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes now, she really couldn't believe that someone would actually do it.
"But looking at it this way, she is quite flexible."
Jiang Lingxi had just looked away from Jiang Xiyu's face, and when she heard Wei Minmin's words, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
To be honest, she was shocked just now.
During the audition, she saw Jiang Xiyu also auditioning, and she thought he was also auditioning for the role of a main actor.
Later, when the makeup photos were taken and she didn't see them, she just thought it was Jiang Xiyu who failed the audition.
The only thing I didn't expect was that this person was auditioning for Qingyuan.
If she had known earlier...she would still have suggested it to Director Wei.
Jiang Xiyu is not qualified, but Qingyuan is.
So when Wei Xiao came in, he received a look from Jiang Lingxi.
Wei Xiao: "..."
My back is a little hairy for no reason.
It seems like he didn't mess with this girl, right?
As for Jiang Lingxi's look at Wei Xiao, it was purely out of understanding.
Jiang Xiyu auditioned for Qingyuan. How did he get this person to nod? Could it be because Jiang Xiyu's face is somewhat similar to hers?
But the real Qingyuan doesn't look similar to her, but...
The memory was interrupted by a voice from the side, "Today we have an additional member in our reading meeting. In this way, before continuing to sort out the script, the new member will get up and introduce himself first, and let everyone get to know each other."
Following the words, everyone's eyes fell on the seats at the end.
Jiang Xiyu stood up with a smile and spoke generously: "Director Wei, good morning, seniors. I am Jiang Xiyu, the actor who plays Qing Yuan. It is an honor to sit here and discuss the script with everyone." After that, he read. Jiang Lingxi, the only one who didn't look in this direction, smiled wider and said, "Please give me your advice."
"Jiang Xiyu," Wei Xiao just repeated the name that seemed a bit familiar, and saw his eldest niece glared at him in front of him, "Ahem, sit down. What's going on with the coffee and desserts on the table?"
Wei Minmin couldn't help but snorted, "Who does Director Wei think it could be?"
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiyu who had just sat down.
The girl smiled modestly and reservedly, "I bought it, I hope you all like it."
Wei Xiao: "..."
This is completely different from the person I saw two days ago who allowed people around him to quarrel because he was dissatisfied with jewelry and clothes.
However, I couldn't say that the other party did something wrong at this time, so I could only nod my head, "Well, it cost money, but we don't have to do this nonsense in the future. We are gathering here to discuss the script, not to eat and drink."
The smile on Jiang Xiyu's face froze and he nodded lightly.
However, although Wei Xiao didn't appreciate such a small favor, the other actors still gave him a look of kindness, which made Jiang Xiyu feel better.
But soon, this comfort was gone.
After her formal self-introduction, Wei Xiao announced the start of the reading very efficiently.
From then on, there was almost no chance for her to speak for the rest of the day.
What I heard the most was the back-and-forth discussion between Jiang Lingxi and Director Wei. There were not even many opportunities for others to answer the conversation.
Even compared to the first day, many people have the habit of taking class notes.
As long as Jiang Lingxi and Director Wei discuss a certain role, the actor who plays the role will basically write a lot.
She was the only one who stood in sharp contrast. She only had a script in her hand that had just been handed out and she hadn't had time to read it. She didn't even have a pen, and she didn't know what to write down.
After a day of reading, Jiang Xiyu couldn't remember how much of the script he had sorted out, but the fire in his heart was burning brightly.
How could Jiang Lingxi be so embarrassed in front of the director of health?
On the contrary, she spent money to treat everyone to coffee and desserts, and even got beaten up.
The joy of getting the notification yesterday has gone now, leaving only frustration and irritation.
It was evening again, and everyone got up and left, knocking on their waists after sitting there for another day, but Wei Minmin was lingering this time.
Jiang Lingxi sat still even after closing the script in her hand.
When Wei Xiao was about to leave, the two of them stopped him almost in unison, "Director Wei."
Wei Xiao paused, glanced at his eldest niece, and then turned his attention to Jiang Lingxi, "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Lingxi got straight to the point: "I have a question, why did you choose Jiang Xiyu to play Qingyuan in the first place?"
Wei Minmin was stunned and opened her mouth in astonishment. She also wanted to ask this question.
Wei Xiao was silent for a moment, "I always ask Assistant Director Lin to audition actors for less important roles. Now that the main actor has been nominated for this role, I have also considered whether to re-audition for this role, but the role has already been decided. , Secondly, I looked at Jiang Xiyu’s photo and found that she looks a bit similar to you. A professor happened to say that in the history books, the palace maid Qingyuan served as a substitute for Emperor Yuan Zhao, so I thought it would be her. .”
Wei Minmin's face softened after hearing this. This explanation made sense. Although she couldn't stand Jiang Xiyu's usual pretentious manner, since the actor still fit the role, she could only put it aside for the time being. I couldn't stand it anymore and suppressed it.
But soon she heard Jiang Lingxi's voice again, feeling helpless and dumbfounded: "Did the history books mention that the reason why Qingyuan served as Emperor Yuan Zhao's substitute was not because the two looked similar, but because of their backs? Very similar?"
The uncle and nephew both opened their mouths this time: "Huh?"
