"What, what part-time job?"
Xu Ling'an never expected that Director Wei would actually introduce his work to him.
My head, which usually spins very fast, suddenly stopped working, and I subconsciously asked what my job was.
"that is……"
Jiang Lingxi interrupted Wei Xiao and first took the tea cup that Xu Ling'an had forgotten to put down and put it on the table. "An An is familiar with history. Do you remember the youngest sister of Emperor Yuan Zhao during the Yuan Zhao period of the Dayin Dynasty?"
When it came to the knowledge points that he had learned and was interested in, Xu Ling'an regained his confidence in a second and nodded without hesitation, "Remember, Emperor Yuan Zhao's younger sister Jiang Ling'an was titled Princess Jin'an. The little Emperor Yuan Zhao was eleven years old and was born with a weak body. She died at the age of ten. But she left to future generations the first collection of essays and poems compiled by a woman, and she was also very talented in literature..."
For a while, there was only the sweet and clear voice of the little girl in the quiet box, but as she spoke, her voice became softer, "Did I talk a little too much?"
Jiang Lingxi smiled at her and shook her head, "No, that's very good."
Her Jin An is so good, and she, as a sister, is only proud.
Wei Xiao was deeply shocked.
In the vast history, Princess Jin'an can be said to be just an insignificant role.
Moreover, she died young. If it were not for her status as a princess, her name might not have been left in the history books.
Even he, when he was writing the script, spent a lot of effort to find as many records as possible related to Princess Jin'an, and then pieced together this character's short life.
And the little girl in front of him, who had just finished the college entrance examination, was very fond of Princess Jin'an.
Wei Xiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "There shouldn't be such a detailed record of Princess Jin'an in the textbooks, right?"
"She has the same name as me, so I collected some information myself, as well as the fragments of the anthology and poems she compiled, which I also like very much. Unfortunately, the complete original version is in the Yinhe Palace Museum and cannot be seen." Speaking of this, Xu Ling'an felt a little regretful.
Wei Xiao: "..."
Those things should be sealed in a glass cover that is isolated from the air and stored properly, so he can't see it.
"Jiang Ling'an and Xu Ling'an are exactly the same except for their last name." This coincidence undoubtedly made Wei Xiao more determined, "Then are you willing to come to my crew to play the role of Princess Jin'an?"
Without waiting for Xu Ling'an's reaction, he continued: "Princess Jin'an has been in the palace since she was a child. Filming will only take place in the Yinhe Palace in this film and television city, and there are not many scenes. The filming can be completed in two months at most. It's completely It won’t affect your future studies in college. In addition, since you are an adult, the crew will sign a formal contract with you. As for the salary, I haven’t had time to discuss this with others, but it will definitely be more than working part-time.”
Although there was a salary given to Lin Xuefei before, the girl in front of him is a pure person. There are rules in the industry, so he definitely can't give her the same salary as Lin Xuefei.
"But I can't act."
This honest answer made Wei Xiao laugh, "You girl's temperament is very similar to Princess Jin'an. It doesn't matter if you can't act. It's not me."
Xu Ling'an suddenly thought of the scene where this man was bombarding people indiscriminately with a big loudspeaker.
Wei Xiao, who could see through what this girl was thinking at a glance, said: "...Although I'm a little serious, it's all for the good of the actors."
Xu Ling'an nodded. She believed this statement. Just like their class teacher, he was also very strict with the students in the class. The purpose was just to let these students get better grades in the exam.
"And you are playing Emperor Yuan Zhao's sister in the play. You two are already, wouldn't it be more natural then?" Wei Xiao said and glanced at Jiang Lingxi.
Xu Ling'an was nervous, but couldn't help but feel excited.
Sister!
She and her sister are not only like sisters in real life, but also in the drama.
Moreover, by the time she appears on TV, more people should be able to see her, including maybe her mother.
Thinking about it this way, I’m even more excited!
Just looking at the expression of the girl opposite him, Wei Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I bet the generous remuneration he mentioned earlier is not as big a temptation as this.
"Grandma, I..."
Gao Lan was also confused. She was just taking her granddaughter to visit a class. Why was her granddaughter invited to act now?
The situation developed so fast that even she couldn't react.
But there is no doubt that this is a good opportunity, and it is much more reliable than working in a factory or working as a waiter and other part-time jobs.
But at this moment, she looked at the child with a hesitant look. She naturally knew why her granddaughter was hesitant. It was just because she didn't trust her.
"You can go if you want. If you have to live on campus in the future, will you take me with you? You have grown up, so you should fly forward bravely. Besides, Xiaoxi is here, so I have nothing to worry about."
Grandma's encouraging eyes and her sister's eyes respecting her decision made Xu Ling'an silently gather her courage. Her slightly raised voice was clear and firm, "Thank you, Director Wei, for giving me the opportunity. I will try my best to play Princess Jin'an well." You won’t be disappointed.”
In the small box, Wei Xiao's wishful laughter suddenly sounded.
Jiang Lingxi is also very happy. In this way, the male protagonist, Qing Yuan, and Xiao Jin'an will all be played by people she recognizes. As for the others, they are naturally not as important as these three roles.
But she was more reserved than Director Wei, and was ready to go back to the hotel room to laugh again.
*
Now that a consensus has been reached, and Xu Ling'an happens to be of age and can represent herself, the contract was naturally signed extremely smoothly.
As soon as the fingerprints came down, Wei Xiao immediately posted a concise and concise message on WeChat Moments, "The role of Princess Jin'an has been decided."
Therefore, the agents, actors, investors, etc. in the friend column should not send actors to him.
Although everyone in the circle of friends was unwilling to see it, they were also curious about who this guy had chosen, so they sent messages to ask.
Wei Xiao held his phone that was vibrating non-stop and simply sent a reply directly to the group, "You will know when the promotional photos come out in two days."
As for the fact that this person was not found in the circle and was even an amateur, isn't this his usual style?
Everyone who received the news had no choice but to suppress their curiosity for the time being. The promotional photos of the female No. 4 will be released soon, and they will naturally know who will be the winner.
But the news from the studio is much faster.
Wei Minmin was the first to rush to her brother-in-law. She looked at him several times and was a little surprised, "You actually kidnapped sister An An to film for you!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"How come a quasi-college student is suddenly willing to come and film a movie?"
She didn't say the rest, especially after witnessing you yelling at actors like a fire-breathing dragon on set.
Although Wei Xiao didn't want to admit it, he still touched his nose and told the truth, "I think it's because that girl is also on our crew."
Wei Minmin: "..."
So, sister An An is still an out-and-out sister-controller?
