"This is Sun Jian, director Sun, and this is screenwriter Hei Guangjun, Mr. Hei."
"Hello, director Sun; hello, Mr. Hei. I'm troubling you all today."
"Try the scene first before saying whether it's troublesome or not; we've seen quite a few more troublesome ones."
"Well, the two of you put in here, and you'll be able to top half of the finished movie. By the way, who is this?"
"My sister; don't worry about her; she just came to play along."
"Together with your sister, you three can hold up an idol drama without acting skills."
The director and screenwriter both seemed humorous and kind, and Xu Lin was relieved.
"Say, you've never acted before?"
"Well, she called on me; I really kind of don't know what to do. I hope I don't hold up everyone's business because of my poor acting skills."
"It doesn't matter; your part isn't much; it's mostly up to Ms. Chu's performance."
Director Sun glanced at Chu Qingchan. This girl is still in this mould, and I'm afraid the crew will have to go through a bit more trouble today.
"That said, director Sun, you are also something. Who are you looking for? That's not good. Looking for me, who has been forced to retire."
Chu Qingchan laughed at herself, but Sun Jian took a sip of tea.
"Who asked you to be brought out by me? Even if the acting is bad, I still have to support it."
"Thanks, Uncle Sun." Hearing the other party say this, Chu Qingchan also said thank you from the bottom of her heart.
The first movie she made after her debut was a movie by Sun Jian, who was a very popular and big director, even though it wasn't as good as a few of the top ones.
But the movies he made were often nominated for world-class awards, and it was also strange that more than a dozen times he was selected but never won.
In addition, he was a master of literary movies, so as soon as he touched a commercial movie, it cracked straight away, and the highest box office didn't exceed 500 million.
"Don't thank me; today you gave me a line. I'll still ask you to make a movie next time, not a niche art film; I will directly ask you to make a big production!"
Sun Jian also blanked Chu Qingchan, then took another sip of tea. "Have the others arrived?"
"Just Ma Wen didn't come."
"F*ck, this kid is still pretending to be a big shot with me!"
"Old Sun, you didn't invite this kid, did you?" Hei Guangjun also frowned and glanced at Sun Jian.
"No, he spent money to stuff himself in, wanting to borrow this public welfare movie and wash his hands of it a little; it's really nasty."
Xu Lin, on the other hand, was listening to the uncertainty, while Chu Qingchan said softly, "Ma Wen is the idol star who, some time ago, allegedly interfered in someone's marriage."
"Him." Xu Lin's mind conjured up a twisted and contrived face: "Regardless of whether it's true or false, does the public welfare movie actually want him?"
"Like me, it was determined before the accident and still stuffed money in, so it had to stay that way."
"What role is he playing?"
"Playing the senior who bullies you but then repents and fits his current situation."
"Are you sure he can play a small gangster with that look? The dogs in my hometown are all thicker-browed and more masculine than him, right?"
Xu Lin also chimed in, causing Chu Qingchan to directly laugh out loud, "Your words are really detrimental!"
The others were stunned when they saw that Chu Qingchan suddenly laughed out, then looked at Xu Lin for a few moments, as if they understood what was going on.
Some intended to take out their cell phones to take pictures but remembered that their phones had already been taken away. It was Director Sun's habit to never allow people to look at their cell phones while filming.
"If, when we were filming Qing Ge, she could also smile so sincerely in the end, that would be good."
[T/N: I think Qing Ge might be the first movie Chu Qingchan acted in.]
Director Sun sighed, genuinely feeling how good it would have been if the smile in that last shot was as natural as it is now.
"But she doesn't pay attention either, being photographed and spreading the word. Right, it seems like she retired from the circle. No, it's fine even if she didn't withdraw from the circle; her father is there."
"So, these second generation people, nothing to run what showbiz, how good to be a boss at home."
"Haha, you are not short of money now; why don't you continue to make a film that can win awards?"
"I'm waiting for your script, old Hei."
"Haha, my script is good, and I also picked some good actors."
"What actors? You just said you have a door today."
"It's this Xu Lin and the second miss of the Chu family next to him."
"People might come to make a movie? That said, you want foreign beauties for this movie?"
"Well, but we have to fight for it, don't we? Get Xu Lin down first."
"He said he's an amateur, a high school student; are you sure you want to use it? I wouldn't dare."
"Let's wait and see. Old Zhao, did that Ma Wen come yet?!"
"Arrived, just got off the bus."
"Bastard, I won't let anyone pick him up; let him come over by himself."
A few minutes later, a man dressed in a fashionable, or rather tawdry, outfit walked over, followed by a group of young students.
"Ma Xiaotian, give me an autograph!"
[T/N: Ma Xioatian might be his idol name for his fans.]
"Sorry guys~ The directors are waiting for me; not so good, sorry guys."
After saying that, she turned around and walked directly towards this side, and the boosters and crew members also went over, stopping the fans who still wanted to chase after them.
"Yo, isn't this Sister Chu? Long time, no see."
He shook his collar, and when he saw Chu Qingchan, he hurriedly put on a smile and walked over.
"Hello."
"Handsome guy, is Sister Chu your girlfriend?" He shook hands with Chu Qingchan and looked at Xu Lin on the side, and then his mouth pursed, causing Xu Lin's goosebumps to rise.
"Xu Lin, Chu Qingchan introduced me to a minor role."
"Hello."
The two also shook hands, and he instantly smelled the scent on the other person's body and instantly wanted to cough it out, but immediately held it back.
"Ma Wen, why did you come this late!?" At this time, Sun Jian walked over with a dark face, not giving the other party any face at all.
Ma Wen also hurriedly scratched his head and bowed. It was obvious that he still had to respect Sun Jian, a big director, when he was here.
"Director Sun, sorry, sorry, there was a delay in traffic."
"We arranged a hotel; it's closer to this side, but you had to spend your own money to stay in another hotel. Forget it; don't say sorry to me either."
"It's fine for me to wait for a while, but with so many staff members and those who are also actors like you, they're not obligated to wait for you!"
"Director Sun, Director Sun... don't be angry, don't be angry; there really was a traffic jam; of course it's also our fault; tomorrow morning I'll let him leave half an hour earlier."
At this time, a chubby, professionally dressed woman walked over and pulled on Director Sun's arm.
"Zhang Liling, you've also been in this business for over ten years; don't say you don't understand this."
"Director Sun, we're also old friends; I'll say sorry to all of you on his behalf for this today."
"Forget it; let's just go over there today and get a head start on scheduling! It's already delayed; hurry up and move!"
Sun Jian shouted, and the crowd around him dispersed, and the executive director, lighting, and cameramen began to make arrangements.
Xu Lin has a total of 3 scenes: one where he is bullied, one where he talks to the teacher played by Chu Qingchan, and one ending where he becomes cheerful after being enlightened.
Because it is a short advertisement film, the plot can be very brief, but the important thing is to emphasise the theme of caring for deaf and mute people.
The main character is also not him, but a girl. The actress of this girl is also a child star, now only 14 years old, and just happens to be a student at this school.
He looked over towards the other party, who also happened to put the script down and glanced this way, and the two's horizons locked.
''What a spirited little girl.''
Xu Lin feels more like she is immortal than the other party's prettiness, like a 16- or 17-year-old fairy sister Liu.
[T/N: Her name is Liu Qinnuan.]
However, even if she can be said to be more youthful, she can't be said to be much prettier; after all, she hasn't grown up yet, is completely incomparable to Chu Qingchan, and is more or less the same as Class Monitor Ji.
Just like this, he kept staring at the other party. The other party shyly nodded, then raised the script and blocked her face.
I got lost in thought; people won't think I'm some kind of demented man, right? Shame on me! The embarrassment started even before the filming started!
