Chapter 128

Gong Xue first admitted that she was an actor and was about to refuse the other party, but the other party immediately asked: "Which studio?"

Anyway, it was definitely not their Shanghai Er Yingchang.

"I am from the General Political Department Drama Troupe, but I cannot act in your movie, I am sorry." Gong Xue politely refused Song Chong.

Director Song Chong was currently choosing a heroine for his first independently directed feature film "Good Things Take Time."

At first, he also wanted to find those from the Shanghai Er Yingchang, but basically they all had plays to film, or their images were not suitable.

But the girl in front of him was too suitable. Beautiful, gentle, and charming when she smiled, she perfectly matched all his imaginations of the heroine Liu Fang, a high-ranking cadre's child.

"Can you tell me your name?" Song Chong didn't want to give up like this.

"My name is Gong Xue. I have promised to appear in another movie of the Shanghai Er Yingchang. I am really sorry." Gong Xue said helplessly. "The Herdsman" would probably take up half a year of her time, and she really couldn't take care of other movies.

"Whose movie is it? I'll go discuss it with him."

Gong Ying spoke directly for her sister: "Xie Dao Jin."

"Ah!"

Song Chong was stunned on the spot. Could it be that this person in front of him is the heroine of "The Herdsman"?

Then he wouldn't dare to fight for the heroine with Xie Dao even if he had 800 guts!

Since Xiao Ying had already spoken, Gong Xue simply asked: "May I ask where Xie Dao is working? I want to find him."

Song Chong pointed the way helplessly: "Forget it, I'll take you there."

Now the whole studio is very curious about the heroine of "The Herdsman." How strong is she that Xie Dao would rather use an outsider than his own people? Now that I see her, she has already won just by looking at her face.

On the way, many employees of the studio were curious about who the two girls Song Chong brought were. Song Chong just responded simply: "Looking for Xie Dao."

This simple answer fell into the ears of those who cared, and they knew what was going on.

Soon the whole studio was spreading that the heroine of "The Herdsman" had come to Shanghai, and she was better looking than Chen Chong and Zhang Yu! And she looked soft and weak, and looked very easy to bully.

At this time, Chen Chong was in a stalemate in Xie Dao Jin's office. Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Jin shouted: "Please come in."

Song Chong said with a smile: "Xie Dao, these two are looking for you. I brought them here."

"Oh, Xiao Gong, you are here. Faster than I thought. This is your sister, right? They really look a bit alike."

Gong Ying was surprised, not expecting Xie Dao to know her.

Then Xie Jin said to Chen Chong: "Xiao Chong, you go back first. Aren't you going to take the college entrance exam soon? Prepare well. I believe you will definitely be admitted to your favorite university."

Since Xie Dao said so, Chen Chong knew that she definitely had no chance.

Although "Little Flower" brought her popularity and fame to the peak, and she could be called the top stream in the domestic film circle at this time, and she also had the idea of retiring and taking the college entrance exam to study abroad, there was actually no need to fight.

However, after reading the original work of "The Herdsman," she found that the heroine Wei Fenfang's scenes were not many, but the character setting was likable, and the original work of this story was so sensational that it might have a certain influence abroad.

So she thought about winning this role by relying on her relationship with Xie Dao. Maybe it would even help her life after going abroad.

As a result, Xie Dao already had a candidate and rejected her request. Not to mention whether it fits the character, just say that when Chen Chong takes the college entrance exam, this movie probably hasn't finished filming yet. Who will make concessions to whom?

Chen Chong guessed that Gong Xue should be the heroine of Xie Dao's new film. She asked sourly: "How should I address this sister? It's the first time I've seen her."

Gong Xue thought to herself that her "Sacrificial Red" was really performed in vain. She had never been recognized when she went out.

At this time, Song Chong said quickly: "Her name is Gong Xue. I originally wanted to find her to play the heroine of my new film. I didn't expect my vision to be the same as Xie Dao's. Then I won't disturb you."

Xie Jin smiled at Song Chong, and Song Chong even pulled the door for Chen Chong when he went out.

Chen Chong: Why is this person so annoying! She had to say goodbye and leave immediately.

Then Xie Jin let the two sit down and chat. There were many photos on Xie Jin's desk, and Gong Xue was still a little uneasy. Was the role almost not hers just now?

"These are the candidates for the male actor I found for Xu Shengfang. See how they are." Xie Jin pushed the photos over.

Some of them are from the Shanghai Er Yingchang, and some are found by other performing units. Basically, they are handsome guys with upright looks, including Guo Kaimin and Ma Xiaowei from the Shanghai Er Yingchang, or you can call him Commissioner Wei.

However, Gong Xue didn't dare to make a decision for Xie Dao. When Xie Jin asked for her opinion, she could only say "They are all quite good."

Xie Jin smiled: "You must have read the original work more than once. Choose one from these photos that you think best matches the Xu Shengfang in your heart."

He just wanted to see if everyone's ideas were about the same. Gong Xue was under pressure now. She looked back and forth several times, and finally pulled out a male actor with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"This one might be more suitable."

Seeing the photo, Xie Jin laughed: "You and the writer Wei actually thought of the same thing."

Gong Xue was a little shy. She asked: "Was he also recommended by the writer Wei?"

"Right, the temperament is indeed very upright. You can tell at a glance that he can't play a thief or a traitor, and no one would believe it if he did." Xie Jin joked, this was also the writer Wei's words.

Actually, he was also very satisfied with Zhu Shimao, but neither the male nor female lead used actors from the studio, and he was going to be pointed at by others again.

However, in his heart, artistic standards cannot be lowered. If the original work wasn't so famous, it would be fine, but "The Herdsman" has been read by so many people across the country. If he filmed it and it didn't match the imagination in the readers' hearts, he would also be pointed at.

In front of Gong Xue, Xie Jin temporarily decided on the male lead. As for whether this person can be used, he still has to meet him in person. In addition, the choices for some secondary roles have also been basically decided. The supporting roles basically use the team of the Shanghai Er Yingchang, such as Niu Ben who plays Guo Pianzi, and Liu Qiong who plays Xu's father.

"Oh, one more little Qingqing is missing," Xie Dao said, which is the little boy who plays the son of the male and female leads, about four or five years old.

Xie Dao's previous movie "Ah! Cradle" tells the story of the Yan'an Nursery, in which there are many child actors, one of whom, a child named Fang Chao, impressed him deeply.

He was only two years old at that time and had a great sense of the camera and knew how to cooperate. Now he should be less than four years old, a little younger.

Seeing Xie Dao Jin fall into memory, Gong Xue thought he was worried about the role of this little actor, and she couldn't help but want to help the director share his worries.

"Actually, I know a little friend who is about the same age and very spiritual."

"Oh?" Xie Jin didn't expect Gong Xue to know child actors. "Tell me, is he in Shanghai?"

Gong Xue shook her head: "No, in Yanjing, he is the cousin of the writer Wei, named Xizi."

"Ah?" Xie Jin became interested. "The writer Wei has such a young cousin?"

"Well, it's a pair of boy and girl twins. They should be five years old now. The girl is especially beautiful, and the boy is also very clever. Their father is a leader at Peking University, and their mother is a literary editor."

!

Gong Ying's eyes were playful: Sister, you know so clearly, have you already met the parents!?

Xie Jin immediately asked: "Do you have a photo there?"

Gong Xue was about to shake her head, but suddenly thought of something. She felt a little embarrassed looking at Gong Ying here, but seeing Xie Dao in a hurry to see it, she finally took out her diary from her bag, turned it over behind the two, and finally found a photo and handed it over.

Gong Ying: What is there to hide, and behind my back?

Gong Ying stretched her neck but didn't see clearly what kind of photo it was.

Xie Jin saw it clearly, and laughed out loud without even looking closely. Who took this family of four, and they have both a son and a daughter.

Gong Ying was even more curious. What on earth was taken! It's killing me!

After laughing, Xie Jin carefully looked at the little boy in Wei Ming's arms. This look was extraordinary. He is worthy of being Xiao Wei's cousin. This appearance is so excellent!

Xie Jin was very satisfied just looking at the photo, but whether the little friend can withstand the test of the camera still needs to be seen in person.

Gong Xue came this time not only to report but also to see the script.

Xie Jin gave her a copy immediately. He was not worried about leaks. The full text was in "Film Creation," but ordinary people couldn't easily buy this magazine.

After the sisters left, Xie Jin immediately made a phone call to Peking University.

And Gong Ying finally saw the photo after pestering for a long time, and then she also laughed.

"If Mom and Dad saw this, they would think you had already married and had children behind our backs. It's just that the brother-in-law is a bit young, haha!"

Gong Xue chased her sister angrily, and then happened to run into someone.

"Sorry."

Zhang Yu, who heard the news and rushed over, looked at Gong Xue and squeezed out a smile: "It's okay."

Gong Ying whispered: "It's Zhang Yu!"

Yanjing, on the way back to Weixiuyuan.

Lu Xiaoyan's bicycle was carrying Xizi and Lele, and the three of them were talking and laughing.

After a day of recording, Lele completed her two songs "Where is Spring" and "On the Field of Hope" sung by several people, and also met three big friends.

Although they were all children, except for her, a five-year-old doll, the other three were big brothers and sisters over 10 years old.

That Brother Guoqing with the surname Cai actually performed on stage when he was younger than himself. It's amazing!

He also claimed to be the captain of the Galaxy Youth Choir and promised to let her join the Galaxy Troupe when she was older.

And Sister Cheng Lin who sang "Little Girl Picking Mushrooms" was only 13 years old and had already been admitted to the establishment, and now she can earn a salary!

And Xizi was deeply impressed by another Sister Lin. That Sister Xia Lin sang "Little Grass." She seemed to be a reserve member of the Galaxy Choir, and her mother was a soprano singer.

Xizi is still thinking about the goodness of Sister Xia Lin: "When I was tired, she hugged me and gave me White Rabbit candy."

Lu Xiaoyan: "Such a big guy still let an 11-year-old girl hug you, shameless."

When they returned downstairs, they saw Wei Ming waiting there. Lu Xiaoyan got off the bike immediately, and Xizi skillfully bent down to make it convenient for his mother to get off the bike.

"Xiao Ming, are you trying to ask about the recording?"

Wei Ming: "That can be said later. Auntie, a new problem has arisen now."

"What problem?"

Wei Ming looked at Xizi: "Xie Dao Jin wants to invite Xizi to audition for the son of the male and female leads in 'The Herdsman'..."
