Ning Xi smiled, the corners of her eyes raised like a crabapple blossoming, "How could that be? I believe in your judgment of people, Director Shen. If he can't even make it this far, it would be a huge blow to your reputation!"
She was just acting normally this time, she didn't even overdo it, that was already lenient enough.
When she suppressed Jiang Muye back then, she was so cruel...
Shen Mian was almost dazzled by that smile, and said speechlessly, "That's enough, you're not even letting me go!"
"Sorry, I didn't have time to switch states."
Shen Mian: “…”
As the two were talking, Shen Mian caught a glimpse of Ke Mingyu standing beside them, seemingly waiting for them to finish talking. "Mingyu, is there something wrong?"
"I'm looking for Senior Ning Xi." Ke Mingyu's usually expressionless face was tense for a rare moment.
Ning Xi looked over curiously, wondering what he wanted to talk to her about.
Among the current newcomers, the one she finds the most difficult to understand is Ke Mingyu. However, she always feels that there is a familiar aura about him.
It's a pity that I didn't have time to film my scenes with him today, and I have to wait until tomorrow...
"Can you give me an autograph? I'm your fan." Ke Mingyu said expressionlessly.
"My fans?" Ning Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised. "Of course."
Then, Ning Xi took the notebook and the letter from his hand, signed her name for him, and wrote a word of encouragement.
"Thank you, senior." Ke Mingyu pursed his lips, bent down and bowed, then left without saying anything more.
Shen Mian glanced at Ning Xi and suddenly asked meaningfully, "Do you know how I found this person?"
"How did you find it?" Ning Xi asked.
"He is not a professional actor, he just came to me on his own. I had been looking for a suitable second male lead for a long time but couldn't find one, so I just asked him to try, but he refused."
"Ah? Didn't you come here on your own? Why did you refuse?" Ning Xi was puzzled.
"He wants to play the male lead."
"Uh..." To be fair, his image is indeed not suitable for the male lead of this play, "Did you convince him later?"
Shen Mian nodded, "I first asked him to try out a scene for the male lead. His acting skills were OK, but his image wasn't, so I persuaded him to try out the male second role. He didn't agree at the time, so I went to his house to invite him in person."
Ning Xi was a little surprised, "Tsk, to have Director Shen come to my house in person to invite me... it's definitely not as simple as just having good acting skills, right?"
Shen Mian smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes!"
Since Shen Mian had said so, Ning Xi did not ask any more questions. However, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Director Shen, can I visit the crew? I have a friend who wants to come and see me. It will definitely not affect the filming!"
"Okay, your friend is no problem!" Shen Mian agreed readily.
As the two were talking, Shen Mian saw a figure not far away peeking around. It turned out that there was more than one person who had not left.
Shen Mian looked helplessly in the direction of Ji Yumeng, "Looking for Ning Xi again?"
Ji Yumeng nodded repeatedly.
"Hey, let's chat! I won't bother you anymore!" After finishing work, other actors would chat with the director, but he was just chatting with the female lead...
"Yumeng, it's time to call it a day. Why aren't you leaving yet?" When Ning Xi spoke to Ji Yumeng, her tone dropped significantly.
That low tone...
Ji Yumeng subconsciously pinched her ears, which suddenly felt numb, "Senior, can you give me your cell phone number?"
