Because the crew was in a hurry, Ning Xi discussed it with Lin Zhizhi briefly and then took Xiao Tao to the crew directly.
She was going to play Jiang Muye's deceased first love in the play. There was only one scene where the two of them parted ways before her death, so it was quite simple and if everything went well it could be finished in one day.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Muye looked suspicious when he saw her.
"Sister Zhizhi asked me to come over to help out in an emergency!" Ning Xi replied.
Jiang Muye turned his gaze to Lei Ming who was standing beside him.
Lei Ming coughed lightly and muttered, "You looked at more than a dozen and were not satisfied with them. I had no choice but to borrow someone from Zhizhi..."
Ning Xi frowned, "I'm impressed by you. This role only had one scene from beginning to end. The director didn't say anything about the last scene where he died of a terminal illness. Why are you so picky?"
"What's wrong with a play? That was my first love!" Jiang Muye said with a righteous expression.
Ning Xi's mouth twitched, "Let me correct you. It's just the first love in the play."
She was really speechless about Jiang Muye. She had never seen an actor as difficult to please as him.
In a play, the male and female protagonists often have a higher status than the director and producer, and have a lot of say. Shen Mian probably can't do anything about him.
Shen Mian is not very old, just in her early thirties, and started acting right after graduating from college. Her first work "Stars Moon Sun" became a big hit across the country, and was named "Asian Star" by US Business Weekly. The leading role in the drama was also very famous, and now they are both top stars in the entertainment industry.
The youth-themed film "Love in the Future" produced later won the box office championship that year and led to a large number of youth films following the trend.
Shen Mian is a very talented director. He likes to shoot something unexpected every time. He has a very sharp eye for choosing scripts and actors.
It’s a pity that although the films he made in recent years were not bad, none of them could surpass those two. Some people even said that he had run out of ideas…
Ning Xi actually felt very sorry about this, but she also knew that for a director like Shen Mian, this result was almost an inevitable compromise after integrating into this circle.
"Director Shen, the people are here, can you take a look?" Lei Ming ran over and said to the director next to him.
"What's the point of me reviewing it? Is that guy happy?" Shen Mian and Jiang Muye have worked together several times and have a good relationship in private, so they spoke quite casually.
"We have no problem with Muye! All we need is your approval!" Lei Ming said hurriedly. If he had no other choice, he would not have asked Lin Zhizhi to borrow people. He was always caught between Jiang Muye and the director, and it was very difficult for him to do his job.
"Oh?" Shen Mian, who was busy, walked over.
Seeing the director, Ning Xi immediately greeted him, "Hello, Director Shen, I'm Ning Xi!"
Shen Mian looked at Ning Xi inquiringly, "Ning Xi... the second female lead in Director Guo's film The World, right?"
Ning Xi didn't expect Shen Mian to know her. She was suddenly happy, "Yes!"
"No wonder this guy has no objection! I watched your drama, and it was Jiang Muye's acting at its peak." Shen Mian couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl in front of him.
From the audience's perspective, they only saw that the two were a perfect match and had a tacit cooperation, and they also saw the change in Jiang Muye's acting style.
However, he had worked with Jiang Muye several times before, and he could tell at a glance that this woman must be quite talented to be able to bring Jiang Muye's acting skills to that level.
