I see…
It just so happened that Ning Xueluo had retired from the entertainment industry at this time, and Ning Xi had won the Golden Palm Award for Best Actress. Her image and popularity were both very suitable, and with the right time, place and people, she got the role.
"Okay, Sister Zhizhi, I understand. I'll join the group the day after tomorrow, right?"
Ning Xi had read about this character before. She was just a mysterious oriental woman with great martial arts skills who was used to show off. It was not difficult for her as she was a stunt double.
Nowadays, China's film market is getting bigger and bigger, even Hollywood has to pay attention to it. In order to boost the box office here, many Hollywood blockbusters like to use this routine, putting a popular Chinese supporting actor in it, and then China will use this to create momentum when promoting it. However, in reality, when the film is screened, the Chinese artists only have a few minutes or even tens of seconds of plot, and only one or two lines.
She had interned in Hollywood before, and the treatment of Chinese people was very different from that of white people.
Although it is cruel, there is no way around it; this is the current situation.
Lin Zhizhi on the other end of the phone replied, "Yes, I'll join the crew the day after tomorrow. Because the post-production of "Jiu Xiao" has been completed and the promotion period is about to begin, I need to prepare and can't accompany you there in person. I'll let Xiao Tao accompany you to the crew later."
"Okay, no problem." Ning Xi hung up the phone after chatting with Lin Zhizhi.
Although she had just been informed of such unexpected good news, Ning Xi still felt somewhat regretful about the failure of today's audition.
Late at night, Taohuawu.
At the door, with a "beep", the door automatically recognized the visitor's pupils and fingerprint password.
As soon as Lu Tingxiao entered the living room, he saw that the lights were on. The girl was leaning on the sofa in her pajamas, sleeping soundly, holding a script with densely written annotations in her hand.
Lu Tingxiao frowned slightly, walked over lightly, and slowly took the script from the girl's hand.
Just as he was about to put the script on the coffee table, he was stunned after reading the contents of the script.
Act 37: Losing a child on a rainy night.
It was obvious that the owner had read this page countless times, and the edges of the paper were already frayed.
"Um... Lu Tingxiao...?"
"Um."
"Why are you here so late?"
Lu Tingxiao didn't answer. He bent down and picked up the girl from the sofa, then walked towards the bedroom. "Why don't you go to sleep in the room?"
Of course it's because I'm worried about her.
Lu Jingli had already told him about her audition today, which didn't seem to go well.
"I accidentally fell asleep..." Ning Xi rubbed her eyes drowsily.
Lu Tingxiao put the girl on the bed, and she rolled over and slept on the other side, leaving half of the bed free.
Lu Tingxiao ruffled the girl's hair and lay down beside her. "Did your audition go badly today?"
Ning Xi sighed, "It's actually not that bad, there are just too many experts... But it doesn't matter, I knew before I went there that the competition would be fierce, if I can't make it this time, I'll just try harder next time!"
The girl's tone sounded relaxed, as if she didn't care. If she hadn't held the script in her dreams and continued to watch that scene after returning home, he might have really believed it...
Lu Tingxiao looked at the girl, hesitating to speak, but finally said, "Well, there will be another chance in the future."
In fact, he had been worried since the beginning when he knew that she had chosen this play, and now it seems that everything has come true.
The girl he loved the most... all her sufferings... were caused by him...
