Ning Xi smiled upon hearing that, stood up, and extended her hand directly to Shen Mian, her eyes clear and bright, "Director Shen, you gambled your ten-year directing career, and I just made a movie called "The World", so it's still a profit for me. And, to be honest, I have been waiting for this script for a long time. So, don't think about it, Director Shen, happy cooperation."
Shen Mian was startled for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and shook the girl's hand, "Happy cooperation!"
Precisely because this is a dream that has never been extinguished in his heart, he takes this drama so seriously and does not allow it to have any flaws.
His ambition made him want an actress like Hilary Swank, who won the Oscar for her performance in "Boys Don't Cry", who could really act to the point where it was difficult to tell whether she was male or female.
However, if the current young actresses and internet celebrities who have accumulated a lot of traffic through online topics were asked to dress up as men, the resulting film would be a disaster!
He would rather let the script rot in a drawer forever than touch it.
However, just when he had completely compromised with reality and was taking a lot of money from investors to shoot those commercial blockbusters that made him feel calm, he happened to see Ning Xi and saw his unwillingness that had not yet been extinguished...
Shen Mian pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Maybe I should treat Jiang Muye to a meal. If he hadn't been so difficult to please, I wouldn't have met you."
"Uh, this... I really can't refute it..." Ning Xi laughed, "Looks like I have to treat you too!"
"Do you usually dress like this?" Shen Mian asked, and at the same time, he looked at Ning Xi. Her facial features were so delicate, but neither her expression nor her appearance looked out of place in terms of femininity.
"Not often, I only wear it when I need to."
When I was abroad, I often wore men's clothing. After returning to China, I rarely wear it. But after all, I'm used to it, and the feeling is still there.
"You are very natural. I even feel that you are just like this. You don't even need to use your acting skills." Shen Mian looked at her inquiringly. "Originally, I planned to ask the heroine to prepare at least a month in advance. During this month, she should wear all men's clothes in her daily life so that she can fully enter the role. It seems that you don't need to do that. I observed that your speed of entering the role is not bad."
Ning Xi actually wanted to say that she really had no acting skills. After putting on men's clothes, it just happened naturally...
However, in this drama, she will have to play two roles. Not only will she play the heroine, but she will also play the heroine's twin brother. Therefore, the pressure is quite high and she really needs to prepare and study the character well.
"The filming of the play I'm working on will be finished in a few days. After that, I will start preparing for the filming and casting. You can use this time to prepare. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to contact me. Keep your phone open. I will contact you to join the crew when everything is ready."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you Director Shen!"
"One last thing. To avoid interference, I plan to keep the entire shoot secret this time and not do any publicity. Do you have a problem with this?"
"no problem!"
…
After leaving Shen Mian, Ning Xi couldn't wait to tell Lin Zhizhi the news. Lin Zhizhi was very happy for her and said she would fully support her and discuss the specific details of the cooperation with them as soon as possible.
Ning Xi's new play was finally officially confirmed.
