"Let's not talk about the venue for now. Let's discuss the actors now. Like we said yesterday, we'll recruit people from our school, and we'll try to find students who don't want to be paid to act in the film."
This matter had been discussed yesterday, and Xu Xiuwen also felt that this was the most appropriate choice, but he did not forget Bai Yue'er, and hurriedly said, "Hang Fei, Huang Shi, let me introduce you, this is Bai Yue'er."
Xu Xiuwen turned to look at Bai Yueer and said, pointing at Hang Fei and Huang Shi in turn, "This is director Hang Fei, and this is Huang Shi."
Bai Yue'er had already guessed who the director was through the previous conversation.
Hearing this, she immediately stood up and said nervously, "Hello, Director. I'm Bai Yue'er."
"Don't be so nervous, just sit down." Hang Fei was very easy-going.
He looked at Xu Xiuwen and guessed something in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
"Hang Fei, Bai Yue'er has wanted to act since she was a child. Do you think there is a role she can play?"
Bai Yueer also quickly explained, "I can play any role, even just being a passerby is fine."
Hang Fei didn't say anything when he heard this, but looked at Bai Yue'er seriously.
The scrutinizing gaze made Bai Yue'er's body stiffen.
Hang Fei looked at Bai Yue'er seriously for a while, then suddenly turned his gaze to Xu Xiuwen, stared at Xu Xiuwen for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly laughed.
Bai Yue'er was very nervous, but when she saw Hang Fei smile, she felt hopeful.
"Xiu Wen, I have an idea. Do you think it's suitable?"
"you say."
"How about letting her play Shancai and you play Daomingsi?"
"What!" Xu Xiuwen was shocked.
Looking at Hang Fei, the other party had a serious expression on his face and didn't seem to be joking.
"Hang Fei, are you serious?"
Bai Yue'er, who was standing by, didn't know what Shancai was, but seeing Xu Xiuwen's shocked look, she guessed that it might be a relatively important role, and became even more excited. However, she also knew that this was not the time for her to speak, so she acted well-behaved and just stared at Hang Fei with her big watery eyes.
Hang Fei smiled and nodded, "I think Bai Yue'er and the role of Shancai are quite compatible. As for Daomingsi, don't you think that you must know the leading male character in your novel better than anyone else? Wouldn't it be better for you to play him?"
"But-"
Hang Fei interrupted Xu Xiuwen and continued, "I know what you're worried about. There are students in our school who are good at acting, but not many. Moreover, this kind of idol drama does not require high acting skills. It focuses more on whether the image and temperament fit the role. I think there is no problem."
Xu Xiuwen wanted to refuse, but Hang Fei said first, "You can go back and think about it. I think you are very suitable for the role of Daomingsi."
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
Hang Fei turned to look at Bai Yue'er, "What do you think of the role of Shancai?"
Thanks to "醉里忆往往" for the 100 starting coins! Thanks to "平阵下楼请保持阵", "月下种树", "风氣", "xx军", "欧阳晓" for the monthly tickets.
It’s nearly 3,000 words. I hope no one will say it’s too short this time.
Chapter 91 Bai Yueer plays Shancai
Bai Yue'er didn't know what shancai or spinach was. When she heard Hang Fei's question, she was completely confused and could only turn to Xu Xiuwen for help.
"Hang Fei, she hasn't read the novel yet, so she doesn't know who Shan Cai is."
"I see." Hang Fei nodded. "Bai Yue'er, I think the role of Shancai is quite suitable for you. You can go back and read the novel tonight."
"Okay, director." Bai Yue'er nodded immediately.
Bai Yue'er was very excited at this moment. Although she didn't know what Shancai was, the director had high hopes for her, which made her feel that she was one step closer to her childhood dream of becoming an actress.
"As for the recruitment of actors for other roles, I plan to advertise it tomorrow and officially recruit people at the school the day after tomorrow."
"You decide. When you officially start recruiting, just notify me to come over."
Several people discussed other issues.
Time passed quickly, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Xu Xiuwen stood up again and shook hands with Hang Fei and Huang Shi respectively, and said, "I hope we can cooperate sooner and make a good drama together."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Bai Yue'er also stood up and stood aside, watching the three boys shake hands with each other and then laugh at each other.
Afterwards, Hang Fei and Huang Shi left the cafe first.
Xu Xiuwen sat down, picked up the American coffee and took a sip, still thinking about Hang Fei's previous proposal for him to play Daomingsi.
Honestly speaking, it's not impossible. What Xu Xiuwen is most worried about is that his acting skills are not up to standard, but Hang Fei said it's okay, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Bai Yue'er saw Xu Xiuwen drinking coffee without saying anything, looking like he was thinking.
She didn't dare to disturb Xu Xiuwen, and having nothing to do, she picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.
“It’s so bitter…”
Bai Yueer knew coffee, but it was her first time to drink it.
As soon as she took a sip of the coffee, the bitterness and sourness bloomed on her taste buds together, and it was so bitter that she burst into tears instantly.
Xu Xiuwen's thoughts were interrupted by this shout.
He came to his senses and saw Bai Yue'er holding the cup, pursing her lips, looking frightened by the coffee, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
As if realizing that she had interrupted his thoughts, the girl looked down, not daring to look into Xu Xiuwen's eyes.
"This is American coffee. You drink the taste of coffee itself. It may be a little bitter and sour. If you are not used to it, you can add some sugar."
Bai Yueer quickly put down the cup and waved her hand, "No, I don't want to drink."
He looked as if he was still frightened.
Xu Xiuwen wanted to laugh when he saw this, so he didn't say anything more. After drinking his coffee, he stood up and said, "Let's go back to school now."
Bai Yueer immediately stood up and walked with him to the door of the cafe when she suddenly said, "You haven't paid yet."
"Hang Fei and the others have paid." Xu Xiuwen said softly.
Walking to the door, Xu Xiuwen pushed open the wooden door of the cafe. He waited until the girl followed him out before letting go and letting the door slowly close.
On the way back, Xu Xiuwen said, "You heard what Hang Fei said just now. He seemed to be very optimistic about you playing the role of Shancai. If he thinks it's suitable, I don't have any objection."
Bai Yue'er didn't say anything. She didn't even know what role Shancai played.
Xu Xiuwen also thought of this immediately and explained, "Shancai is the heroine of my novel and also the heroine of the TV series."
"The leading actress?" Bai Yue'er stood there in a daze.
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Xu Xiuwen asked with a smile.
"Can I play the leading female role?" Bai Yue'er pointed at herself with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Have you forgotten what Hang Fei said just now? She said that your image and temperament fit the role of Shancai. Well, turn around and show me."
Bai Yue'er was stunned at first, but then she turned around obediently.
After careful observation, Xu Xiuwen also initially agreed with Hang Fei's suggestion.
Bai Yue'er was wearing a red plaid dress today. Her hair was neither long nor short, just below her shoulders. She had thick bangs on her forehead that just covered her eyebrows.
Xu Xiuwen smiled. He couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself, "What good luck."
Bai Yue'er was stunned again when she heard this.
Without waiting for the other party to ask, Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to explain, "You look quite similar to the heroine of my novel today, and your hairstyle is the same. No wonder Hang Fei said that your image fits well."
"Really?" Bai Yue'er was very excited.
"Am I lying to you? My novel is called "Boys Over Flowers" and it was published in Jinjiang. When you go back, take the time to read the novel."
"What is Jinjiang?"
Xu Xiuwen remembered that Bai Yue'er and Shi Xiangming were both from rural Gansu Province, so it was normal that they didn't know Jinjiang, so he didn't explain. "Forget it, I'll take you to print a copy now. I won't make any money from your subscription. Let's go."
Bai Yue'er quickly caught up with Xu Xiuwen.
Arriving at the printing shop, Xu Xiuwen printed out a copy of the novel for ten yuan.
Xu Xiuwen handed the printed manuscript to the girl and said, "If you really want to play this role, I have no objection, but you must read the novel first, otherwise you will not know the characters and the plot."
"Don't worry, Xu Xiuwen. I will read it carefully." The girl took the A4 manuscript and said seriously.
"Okay, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
"Goodbye." Bai Yue'er held the manuscript and watched Xu Xiuwen leave.
After she could no longer see him, the girl lowered her head to look at the manuscript in her hand.
On the cover are four big characters: "Boys Over Flowers".
When Bai Yue'er thought about what happened today, she felt like she was dreaming.
She had always wanted to be an actress, but because her family was poor and her father and Shi Xiangming's family did not support her, she could only keep this dream in her heart.
She had even almost given up, but suddenly one day she heard Shi Xiangming say that his roommate was going to film a TV series.
So she asked Shi Xiangming to ask Xu Xiuwen if he could give her a chance.
