“The second brother is a righteous and impulsive person. He is a good person, but he always causes trouble with good intentions. Every time little sister helped him clean up the mess, although she was angry, she always remembered how good second brother was when she thought about how he protected her. However, ever since she was young, second brother got to enjoy the love of her parents that she had never enjoyed before. She was also jealous of second brother. However, her little sister’s heart was kind, so every time her second brother was in trouble, she would still lend a hand.
“She only had a high school diploma. Later, she took the college entrance exam and completed her undergraduate degree. However, in her business circle, she was still looked down upon by people. There were even people who talked about her original family. However, she never hid it, nor was she afraid of people talking about it. These were all things that she had experienced, and there was nothing shameful for her. I remember that she had a line saying that her experiences were not shameful. On the contrary, the people who caused her experiences should feel ashamed.”
Screenwriter Yu’s eyes shone with a dazzling light. “This means the same thing as what Jiang Xun said just now!”
“I never thought that there would be someone who could be so compatible with my character!” Screenwriter Yu said excitedly, “I did write the Lin family’s little sister based on Jiang Xun, but I didn’t understand Jiang Xun’s personality at all. Therefore, when I wrote it, I stripped away Jiang Xun’s personality and created the Lin family’s little sister based on my own thoughts. Out of my appreciation for the role of the Lin family’s little sister, I tried my best to put some contradictory but good qualities on her, but I didn’t expect her to be so similar to Jiang Xun herself!”
“I know that the character of the Lin family’s little sister is definitely not the same as Jiang Xun’s, but based on what Jiang Xun said just now, she is the most suitable person for the Lin family’s little sister that I have ever met!” Screenwriter Yu was too surprised, and he was so excited that he couldn’t help but tremble.
He had only created the role based on his own imagination. He didn’t expect that she could be so similar to Jiang Xun!
“Director Guo, the Lin family’s little sister should be played by Jiang Xun!” Screenwriter Yu said excitedly to Haolun, “Jiang Xun is basically acting as herself. She doesn’t even need any acting skills!”
She did not need any acting skills to act as herself!
“Although she is acting as herself, Jiang Xun’s acting skills are also very good, Screenwriter Yu,” Zilong reminded.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Screenwriter Yu nodded repeatedly. “That’s for sure. If Jiang Xun’s acting skills are good and she’s acting as herself, then she’s even better!”
“But Director Guo just said that she has to pass the audition. I think it’s more fair for everyone to audition together,” Xiuse said. “Besides, after hearing what you said just now, I’m also very interested in the role of the Lin family’s little sister. Such a character that was set up with a contradictory personality is really too expensive. The character was set up well to please the audience. The contradictory personality is also very challenging to act. As an actor, who wouldn’t want the challenge of a more difficult performance? To be able to challenge oneself, such an opportunity is really something that can only be found by chance.”
Xiuse smiled and said, “Teacher Yu, you decided to cast Jiang Xun with just one sentence and didn’t even have an audition. It’s really too unfair to the other actors.”
Screenwriter Yu couldn’t find the right words to deal with Xiuse.
Screenwriter Yu was good at playing with words on paper. If he were to go up against with Xiuse on Weibo, even ten of Xiuse might not be a match for him.
However, when talking face to face, Screenwriter Yu was the kind of person who was dumb.
“We all know Teacher Yu’s character,” Haolun said. “He’s the most innocent person. He’ll say whatever he thinks. He doesn’t mean anything else. I’ve said it before. No matter who wants to play the role, they’ll all participate in the audition. It’ll be fair and just. Don’t worry. There won’t be a default situation.”
Xiuse smiled. “That would be the best.”
Screenwriter Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing and had even caused trouble for Haolun. He didn’t say anything more and lowered his head to eat his own food.
“Will Screenwriter Yu be a judge on the day of the audition?” Xiuse asked again.
A gold-medal scriptwriter like Screenwriter Yu always had the right to participate in the casting process.
Screenwriter Yu was stunned for a moment. He thought to herself, if I don’t say anything, why won’t Lu Xiuse let me off?
“I wrote the script, and the role on the paper was created by me. I have my own understanding and opinions about the role, so I will definitely participate in the casting process,” Screenwriter Yu said. “I need to find the actors who are the most suitable for the roles.”
“But I don’t think this is appropriate.” Xiuse’s lips curled into a smile. “At least for the role of the Lin family’s little sister, you should avoid suspicion.”
“You said that just now. It’s obvious that you want Jiang Xun to act. Then when we go for the audition, you’ll naturally be biased toward Jiang Xun. It’s not fair to the others,” Xiuse said. “Who knows if the audition will be just a formality? Since you already think highly of Jiang Xun, no matter how well the others act, you’ll still think that Jiang Xun is the most suitable.”
“You’re suitable for other casting, but for Jiang Xun’s role, I think you should avoid suspicion,” Xiuse said.
Screenwriter Yu put down his chopsticks with a dark expression.
He didn’t say anything just now. He didn’t expect Xiuse to be so greedy.
He really didn’t put Xiuse in his eyes just because she had a financial backer.
Yes, he really couldn’t do anything to Xiuse.
“I wrote the role myself. I don’t have the right to participate in the casting?” Screenwriter Yu said coldly, “No one in the industry has ever said such things to me! Moreover, Teacher Lu, you are questioning my professionalism! I will not ignore other excellent actors because of my subjective bias. If someone is more suitable than Jiang Xun, I will definitely choose them.
“If you think that you are more suitable than Jiang Xun and that your acting is better than hers, you can just take a look at the audition when the time comes. You are worried that I will be biased, but with Director Guo around, no matter how much I recommend her, the final decision will still be made by him. What are you afraid of?”
Zilong and Haolun thought to themselves, good man, an honest person being forced by Xiuse, his mouth is also quite eloquent!
However, Screenwriter Yu was still too embarrassed to say it out loud. Xiuse’s age was really not suitable for acting as the Lin family’s younger sister.
For roles of young characters, they could hire small actors, but for characters after the age of high school, they still had to try their best to find adult actors who match the appearance of the characters, which was difficult to find.
If it was Jiang Xun acting, she could definitely act as the character from high school until she became an adult.
After all, she was only nineteen years old. It would not be a problem for her to act as a high school student who was three or four years younger.
But could Xiuse do it?
Nowadays, artistes took good care of themselves. It would not be a problem for her to act as a character who was ten years younger.
But the key was that Xiuse had a strong appearance. After so many years of being contaminated by the entertainment industry, she had long lost her pure and innocent temperament. Her every move, every frown, and every smile carried a worldly aura that she was not aware of. Wasn’t acting as a high school student letting the audience watch the drama end?
