This time, before she could finish, the girl at the front desk raised her head and looked at her in surprise … She would borrow the kitchen for a month? After some thought, she still asked the hotel manager.
A moment later, the manager of the hotel hurried over. He saw Ye Ci and put on a standard smile. "Miss wants to use our kitchen for a long time?"
Ye Ci: "Not for a long period of time. Just for a month."
The manager nodded nonchalantly, glanced up and down at Ye Ci, and then asked, "Are you an actor here for a movie?"
Ye Ci nodded, unsure of what was going on. The hotel that the film crew had arranged for them was not a five-star hotel. However, it could be considered to be at a standard level above that of the film and television cities. At the very least, it had a very high occupancy rate every day.
Seeing Ye Ci nod, the manager thought to himself — how many actors and celebrities would be sent away in the hotels in the movie and television cities. Therefore, the principle of "maximizing customer service" has been basically adhered to.
However, since they opened their doors to do business, there was no such thing as doing good or not making profit. The manager thought for a moment, then said, "If you use it for a long period of time, we will need to collect a certain amount of usage fees. What do you think?"
Ye Ci nodded, since it was understandable that a certain fee should be charged for the use of other people's things. "May I ask how you calculate the fee?" "About how much?"
The manager saw that Ye Ci was being reasonable, and the smile on his face deepened. "If you only use the kitchen utensils, seasonings and gas, we will only charge you 100 yuan. "However, if there is any damage to the goods, we will charge you another 50% of the original price."
Hearing that the price was within her range, Ye Ci nodded and readily agreed. Although she was not well off, she still didn't want to ruin her stomach.
If she wanted to live a good life, she couldn't just rely on saving energy. Ye Ci felt that she would have to seriously consider the problem of earning an income after this movie was finished …
When Ye Ci returned to her room, her roommate, Liu Xia, was already applying the facial mask. When she saw Ye Ci, she immediately jumped up and rushed towards her.
"I, I, I! I heard that you refused the director for additional scenes?! "
Ye Ci nodded calmly and corrected her. "Not for me, but for the show and the Emperor's love affair."
Liu Xia was disappointed to hear that. She pushed Ye Ci's head with her fingers. "Are you stupid?" How could Kawahara care about such a small part? The most important thing is you!
"Think about it, if it's an emotional drama, then the interaction between you and the male lead will increase, and there's also the possibility of attracting a bunch of CP's fans. You can use that as a pretext to become famous, okay?!"
Ye Ci blinked and replied very directly, "I didn't think that much. "
Liu Xia: "…" "I rolled my eyes." What did you think of? "
"I've thought about whether I should add on the emotional drama or not... "
Liu Xia sighed heavily, "First Miss, it's up to the director and the screenwriter to decide whether or not it's necessary. Since the director has taken the initiative to ask for it, then if it turns out that there's no need at all for this part, then it's not your fault!"
Ye Ci frowned. "But back then, Lu Chuan asked me if it was necessary, and I told him the truth …" In the end, it became a 'no' … "
Liu Xia shook her head as she mumbled under her breath, "Why did I leave ten minutes earlier?" If I were there, I would definitely have stopped you and lifted your hands and feet in agreement to add those scenes. "
At the beginning, Ye Ci did not think too much about it. After hearing Liu Xia's words, she couldn't help but reflect on it. Could it be that she really made a mistake in rejecting the show?
The original owner had been studying acting at the Film Academy for four years, and she had always paid attention to listening to the truth. Although her grades weren't that outstanding, she had spent a lot of time and effort on her acting, but she really didn't know much about the twists and turns within the film crew …
After thinking for a while, Ye Ci decided to go out and give her agent a call. It was best to ask the experienced and trusted senior beside her about this.
After she dialed the number, Ye Ci did not directly go to the main topic, "Big Brother Jiang, Director Xie said in the afternoon that he would give me and the male lead a romance. At that time, Lu Chuan asked me for my opinion, and I said there's no need …" Is that a bad thing to do? "
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Fei had just hung up from Lu Chuan's call, so he was less surprised by Ye Ci's words. After all, the male lead had told him everything in a teasing tone.
"Her brain is quite sharp and her acting isn't bad either. Why did he blindly fall for Li Lun, that pretentious criminal?"
Jiang Fei heard a hint of hesitation in Ye Ci's voice and asked, "Then why did you refuse?"
Ye Ci could not tell whether Jiang Fei's tone was happy or not, so she told the truth. "At that time, Lu Chuan only asked me if I felt that it was appropriate. I just gave my analysis according to the overall story of the script …" I didn't think that he would decide not to proceed after asking for my opinion... "
The corners of Jiang Fei's mouth curled up when he heard this — his family's artiste could do it? If you had to blame Lu Chuan for his decision, could you only blame it on his carelessness? After all, he didn't say that it was up to her to decide. She had only told him her true thoughts. As for whether or not to add it, of course she would listen to the director and the male lead …
Once again, Lu Chuan's words flashed past on the phone. Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's your current thoughts, there's no problem."
Receiving Jiang Fei's "comfort", Ye Ci nodded her head in satisfaction. "Yes, that was my true intention."
"When you come back, you'll meet a director with me, whether or not you can participate in that reality show will depend on your own performance."
"Alright".
After hanging up, Jiang Fei thoughtfully shook his head. The smile on his face couldn't be hidden when he remembered what Lu Chuan said –
"Do you know how rare it is to really consider the direction of a script and reject the offer? Brother Jiang, you've picked up a treasure this time. I think that girl's potential is pretty good. If you use more effort, she might be the next Deng Qian."
