Chapter 1003: A New Play
"In this life, finding a true friend is indeed rare," Lu Nian said lightly.
He had not had much contact with Yang Xiaoxi before and his impression of her remained that she was very straightforward and naive. But through this recent interaction, he discovered that Yang Xiaoxi was very kind and quite interesting.
Chatting with her was relaxing and down to earth. Girls who are not pretentious like her are a rare find.
"Right," Yang Xiaoxi nodded. Seeing that Lu Nian barely touched his food, she hurriedly urged him, "Director Lu, don’t just talk the talk, you should eat some dishes too!"
"Okay."
Lu Nian nodded, met her sparkling eyes, and felt as if something had touched his heart. He suddenly asked, "Xiaoxi, I’m going to shoot another movie in the second half of the year, called ’Poplar Tree.’ It’s about the experiences of a young woman intellectual who goes to the countryside. Are you interested?"
Before Yang Xiaoxi could answer, he continued, "If Mianmian is interested, she can also come to audition. But this time there’s only one female lead and a villainous second female lead. When the time comes, you both can try out, and whoever fits the role can play it."
Yang Xiaoxi’s eyes immediately lit up at this, but she heard Lu Nian add, "However, I feel Mianmian might not be suitable for this movie because it’s a romance film with many emotional scenes. Boss He probably wouldn’t want her to play such roles. Moreover, I think you are more suited for the role of the female lead. The second female lead won’t suit Mianmian. After the movies released during Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, Mianmian’s fame will rise. There will be plenty of people looking for her to film, and she’ll have her pick of many movies, with no shortage of resources."
These words were not said just to coax Yang Xiaoxi into acting but were the fact of the matter. Even if Shen Mianmian were willing to act, it was likely that He Nan would not agree.
