Xia Ning's smile grew even brighter as she folded her hands across her chest and said with anticipation, "He Xing, brother, Jiang Ling just made fun of me, saying that no one wants me for their movies. Could you give me the lead female role in your film?"
"Lead female role?" He Xing repeated, seemingly recalling something. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "I can't give you the lead female role; it's already been cast, and the character doesn't suit you. I'll have someone modify the script for the third female lead to be more likable. How about that for you?"
"And what about Jiang Ling?" Xia Ning asked, not reassured. She didn't actually want to do the movie; she had just proclaimed boldly in front of Jiang Ling and couldn't very well turn out to be all talk with no action, inviting ridicule.
