For the first time in my life, the crew coordinator felt that time could actually fly by so fast!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
But he still couldn't find a candidate who could satisfy Director Wei.
Standing in front of him with dark circles full of resentment that anyone with a clear eye could see, Wei Xiao couldn't bear to scold him harshly.
However, the dark circles around his eyes were not much lighter than those of the crew, and his eyes were even more red and bloodshot.
In the past three days, whenever he was not busy, he was racking his brains to find candidates. His eyes were almost dazzled looking at the photos of male actors. He also met a few in person, but he could not say that he was not as good as the actors he had decided on before. It can only be said that it is far from reaching the standard line in his mind.
He would rather spend money to organize another audition than give in.
Who told him to be a Virgo!
"There are four days left. I have to leave for Liangchuan in four days. Where can I conjure up such a person?"
The crew coordinator tried hard to hold up his eyelids that couldn't help but droop, raised his head and poured himself a sip of strong black coffee. He was shaken by the pain, "Director Wei, there is also a singer from Ningjiang, who looks pretty cool. Nice and smooth…”
Wei Xiao lit a cigarette to refresh himself, blew out a smoke ring and interrupted, "Singer? What I'm looking for is an actor!"
"This is really not true..."
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation in the room again.
Wei Xiao put out the cigarette and exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a staff member ran in with a vibrating mobile phone in his hand, "Director Wei, the mobile phone you left outside is ringing."
"Hang up when it rings, and you still need me to teach you?"
"Yes, but the caller prompt shows Xu Qingmei."
The impatience on Wei Xiao's face paused.
After taking the phone, I couldn't help but be silent for a moment when I saw the name displayed on the screen.
If he remembered correctly, this number was added when Xu Qingmei first returned to China.
But since Xu Qingmei broke up with him at the audition of "Empress Yuan Zhao" more than three months ago, and then joined the crew of "The Legend of the Fallen City", this was the first time that the other party took the initiative to contact him after such a long time.
I'm sure this phone call was definitely not just some idle pleasantries.
What would be the purpose?
Thinking of this, he moved his fingers to answer the call.
"Hello, Teacher Xu, I'm Wei Xiao."
"No one answered for so long, I thought Director Wei didn't even want to answer my call." Xu Qingmei on the other end of the phone chuckled and teased, but the reality was that she was extremely reserved and rigid from head to toe. just.
Just because the man sitting opposite her at this moment, wearing an embroidered black suit, was quietly sipping red wine.
"Anyway, I left my phone outside and didn't have it in my hand. The staff just sent it to me. But Teacher Xu suddenly called me, which really surprised me. Is there something wrong?"
Xu Qingmei carefully glanced at the hand holding the red wine glass not far away, took a deep breath and said: "I heard that an actor in Director Wei's crew who was about to join the crew had a car accident. I think Director Wei must have been the same in the past few days. I'm so worried that I won't waste your time, so I'll just tell you the truth. Recently, my studio signed a new person, and the conditions are very good in all aspects. I also read the script of "Empress Yuan Zhao" at the beginning, and I feel that he is still The role of the Northern Barbarian Prince is quite suitable for me. Director Wei, give me some face and find a time nearby to meet you?"
Wei Xiao was not surprised that Xu Qingmei would know about the accident involving one of his cast members. After all, it had been several days and there had been some rumors on the Internet.
As long as you are willing, it is not difficult to find.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Qingmei made this call to recommend actors to him.
Moreover, he was an artist newly signed by the studio, and he actually asked Xu Qingmei to make this call to him personally.
There are no more than two reasons for this newcomer, either the background is strong enough, or the potential is great.
He pondered for a moment and replied: "I must give Mr. Xu face. But I still want to say something ugly first. When I meet someone, I have to see if he is suitable for this role. If he is not suitable, then I can only say I'm sorry first."
"Of course I know Director Wei's principles very well," hadn't she already learned it before? Xu Qingmei suppressed the sneer that almost escaped from her lips, "But I can guarantee that this artist I have newly signed will definitely make Wei The director is satisfied.”
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!"
After a few words, they agreed on a meeting time, and the two hung up the phone almost at the same time.
Xu Qingmei put down her phone and stood up at the same time. When she spoke again, her tone became respectful, "Sir, your agent and assistant..."
"You don't need to worry about these. I only use people who I think are easy to use. You can just sign them in directly."
Xu Qingmei's heart skipped a beat, "Yes."
On the other side, Wei Xiao just put down his phone and turned to meet the bright eyes of the crew coordinator, "Director Wei, is it..."
"The new artist signed by Xu Qingmei Studio is still a man, did you know?"
The next second, he got an honest shake of his head.
"Go check it out."
Hearing Xu Qingmei speak so confidently, his curiosity was aroused.
It would be really nice to meet him in person tomorrow. Even if it was introduced by Xu Qingmei, he was prepared to accept it.
In his opinion, filming the script well is the first priority.
All other personal grudges have to be put aside before a drama that satisfies me is produced.
A few minutes later, the two looked at each other in confusion at a picture of the back that Xu Qingmei's studio had just sent out yesterday.
After the production coordinator confirmed that there were no other photos, he couldn't help but be stunned, "There's not even a front view, so it's so mysterious? But just looking at the back and the head-to-body comparison, it's really not bad!"
"This back view looks really good. It's probably not a P picture." Wei Xiao also nodded in agreement, "In this way, it can be regarded as raising our expectations!"
Wei Xiao was even a little suspicious at this moment. Could it be that Xu Qingmei did it on purpose?
First, he released such a picture of his back in the name of the studio, and then called to recommend someone to him. Could it be that he would check out this new person at this moment?
As for Xu Qingmei introducing artists from her studio to his crew, Wei Xiao thought about it carefully and finally concluded that there should be no conspiracy.
After all, it is up to him to decide whether this person can finally settle down. Xu Qingmei probably also wants her newcomer to have a high starting point.
Although the role of the Northern Barbarian Prince is not too many, this character is still outstanding in terms of his identity and role in the play as a director.
Xu Qingmei has become a movie queen, so it can be seen.
It's not necessarily a hit if the performance is successful, Xu Qingmei, the owner of the studio, will naturally benefit from it.
In the business world, there are no eternal enemies. As long as there is interest, we can shake hands and have fun at any time!
"Then, are you still looking for actors?"
Facing the little look in the coordinator's eyes that looked forward to rest, Wei Xiao suddenly changed into a merciless director, "Continue before we are completely settled."
Coordinator: "..."
He really sincerely hopes that the person recommended by Queen Xu can satisfy Director Wei from head to toe, and he will be free!

"Are you really not going to give it a try?"
Pei Xinyuan's hand holding the drink paused, and she looked up at Han Jiaojiao, who had asked her this question almost three times a day for the past two days. She pursed her lips and shook her head, "No."
In the past three days, she had completely calmed down. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a high possibility of a trap. She even wanted to avoid Cheng Gan, who came to block him from time to time.
She thought she couldn't bear this enthusiasm!
The drink bottle pressed against the back of her hand, making her shiver subconsciously.
Han Jiaojiao put the drink into Pei Xinyuan's hand, squatted down close to her, raised her face and asked softly: "Then, Xinyuan, can you introduce me to Teacher Cheng? I think I'm not bad, since you don't want this If you have a chance, let me try it?"
Pei Xinyuan suddenly met Han Jiaojiao's eyes, "You..."
The words of advice were on his lips, but they were stuck.
She saw the desperate determination in Han Jiaojiao's eyes at this moment.
My thoughts were all confused for a while.
I even couldn't help but start to reflect: Shouldn't I have told Han Jiaojiao that Cheng Qian was looking for her in the first place?
