Chapter 147 - 142: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
Lian Lan was secretly pleased to see Director Yi’s gentle demeanor towards her, as she knew that Director Yi was not only a director but also a member of the Yi Family in Jing City, a top-level Red Third Generation family with immense power and influence.
At this time, Director Yi hadn’t revealed his background in the entertainment circle, known only as a talented young director. However, with memories from more than ten years in the future, Lian Lan knew very well that not only did Director Yi come from a prestigious family, but he also had considerable talent. His later films were selected for international film festivals, and regardless of the theme, his films easily passed censorship and made countless male and female actors famous.
This series, "Legal Beauty," was not only his first TV series, but also the only one. At this time next year, it would be broadcast on the national station’s prime time slot, causing a sensation in viewership ratings, and all the main actors and supporting roles ascended a step higher in their careers thanks to this series.
The role of the lady boss in the drama was one she had obtained through much effort. Knowing that Director Yi preferred hardworking, humble, and down-to-earth actors, she maintained a humble demeanor at all times, spoke little, often wore white or blue dresses, portraying herself as a fairy-like, recluse sage, making Director Yi’s attitude towards her increasingly gentle.
"The inn for the shoot hasn’t been decided yet. Take these two days to memorize your script and rehearse lines with Xingran."
Li Xingran was the female lead in "Legal Beauty," and most of Lian Lan’s scenes were with her. Although their parts hadn’t started filming, their relationship was not harmonious, solely because the role of the lady boss, originally recommended by Li Xingran, had been snatched by Lian Lan, causing Li Xingran to be dissatisfied and to frequently make things difficult for her. However, Director Yi was quite satisfied with her, thus sparing her from harsh treatment.
At the moment Director Yi suggested she rehearse lines with Li Xingran, Lian Lan internally resisted, her eyes scanning around before tactfully saying, "I noticed that Director Yi seemed pleased with an inn we passed by yesterday, was it because the terms weren’t agreed upon?"
"The assistant director mentioned that the owner of that inn is difficult to communicate with, and they couldn’t reach an agreement," Director Yi replied with a slight frown, evidently worried about the upcoming shoot.
Seeing this, Lian Lan smiled slightly: "Perhaps you could tell me what terms you offered, and I could go and talk to them."
