Chapter 386: ambitious girl
“Teacher Jiang, I’ve taken the liberty to come here to disturb you. I, I’m very confused right now, and I don’t know who to talk to, so I came to your side unknowingly.”
Jiang Lingxi looked at Pei Xinyuan who took the initiative to come to her.
The little girl's shoulders were slumped and she looked a little listless, like a little quail that was locked in a cage and began to shut up on its own.
“Drink some water first, don’t you notice that your voice is a little hoarse?”
Pei Xinyuan took a glass of warm water and took a sip to clear his throat. Looking at the cold, firm and seemingly infinitely tolerant eyes in front of him, he suddenly felt the urge to tell everything.
“Teacher Jiang, you probably don’t recognize Han Jiaojiao. She is the girl I share a room with. We used to hang out together in various crews in this film and television city, and we have always had a good relationship.”
"I have seen her before." Jiang Lingxi nodded towards her, "She is a very ambitious little girl."
"Ambition..." Pei Xinyuan repeated subconsciously. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Teacher Jiang, you are very accurate in reading people!"
“Why are you talking about her all of a sudden?” Jiang Lingxi took a sip of tea, “Is there something wrong between the two of you?”
Pei Xinyuan calmed down and said, "I have been hesitating whether to accept Teacher Cheng's invitation a few days ago, so I told Jiaojiao about it. She has been urging me not to give up this opportunity and give it a try. But I have already I told her clearly that I wasn’t planning to go, but I still feel a little uneasy. Maybe it’s because I’m timid and feel it’s better to be more down-to-earth. But just now Han Jiaojiao told me that she…”
Jiang Lingxi saw that she was hesitant, and she already had a guess in her mind, "Han Jiaojiao asked you if you could give her this opportunity. Anyway, you are not going to go, and it would be a pity to waste this opportunity."
Pei Xinyuan pursed her lips and nodded lightly, "I don't know why she is so persistent this time. I advised her that there might be a trick in it, but I feel like she didn't listen to a word of those words. Now it's made both of us... I'm angry with him. Teacher Jiang, I obviously mean well!"
"I have said before that your friend is a very ambitious little girl." Jiang Lingxi looked at the pain and confusion on Pei Xinyuan's face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This girl is not only very similar to Qingyuan, but even her personality... can be said to be exactly the same.
“Are you afraid that you will hurt her?”
Pei Xinyuan closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"People are different, and the paths they choose are also different." Jiang Lingxi didn't like to see this girl always lowering her head with self-blame on her face, so she reached over and held her chin, making her look directly into her eyes. , "Furthermore, this is her own choice, and she is even mentally prepared for it. Even if you understand some opinions in your heart, you cannot impose them on others, because people are subjective. You have tried your best to persuade a friend. Duty, this is enough!”
“Is this enough?”
"Isn't that enough?" Jiang Lingxi chuckled, her tone becoming a little colder for no reason, "You have to bear the consequences of the path you choose. It's none of your business!"
Coming out of the lounge, Pei Xinyuan took out her cell phone and turned off the mute, and the message notification rang immediately.
Except for the two messages sent to the actors' group, the remaining ones were sent to her by Han Jiaojiao.
She first clicked on Han Jiaojiao's profile picture.
【Xinyuan, I redesigned my actor card. Can you help me see how the design goes? 】
【If you think it's okay, I'll print it and seal it in plastic. Can you help me deliver it to Teacher Cheng? 】
【Please, please, please, I really, really need this opportunity! 】

As a special guest actor, you will want to get a role with a name and lines, which requires you to prepare a carefully crafted actor card in advance.
It will have your basic information printed on it, the more representative roles you have played, and a few photos in ancient or modern costumes.
At that time, the casting director will initially determine the approved candidates through the photos on the actor cards, and then arrange live auditions.
Pei Xinyuan clicked on the picture Han Jiaojiao sent her, and she could tell at a glance that the photo above was a new one.
It can even be said that the corresponding styling was specially designed to fit the role of the second female lead in "Shengjing Little Lady".
Thinking of what Teacher Jiang had said to him after he had confided in the lounge, Pei Xinyuan couldn't help but still wanted to persuade Han Jiaojiao to give up, and replied: [Jiaojiao, have you really thought about it? 】 The message was just sent successfully, and soon it showed that it was being input.
【I gritted my teeth and spent three days' extra money to take this photo. I couldn't have thought more clearly. Xin Yuan, to be honest, this is the closest I have been to an opportunity, and I really want to seize it. Don't worry, even if I'm not selected in the end, or something else happens, it's all my own choice. As long as you help me this time, I'm only grateful to you. And I’m very wary, so don’t worry! 】
Okay, the photo is beautiful. Print it out and give it to me. 】
【Thank you, thank you, Xinyuan, please wait for me, I will print it right away! 】
After the message was sent out, Pei Xinyuan watched Han Jiaojiao reply with thanks almost impatiently, and let out a heavy breath.
She has already tried to persuade him, and she can go and help talk to Cheng Qian next. At this point, we have fulfilled our duty as friends.
She probably wouldn't be able to take care of the rest of the matter even if she wanted to.
Then let nature take its course.
*
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment when Pei Xinyuan called out to Cheng Qian with the actor card carefully prepared by Han Jiaojiao.
This girl took the initiative to stop herself for the first time.
In fact, he has noticed in the past two days that this girl is starting to treat him a little bit. He has been in this circle for more than ten years, and he has met countless people of all kinds.
Pei Xinyuan is a bit good at bluffing people, but her skills are still very shallow. He didn't notice it once or twice, but after more times, he naturally came to his senses.
However, he didn’t intend to give up immediately, just in case something happened to him while he was urging him to do it.
No one can tell until the last minute.
After being stunned, he habitually smiled like a good brother and said, "Xinyuan, what do you want from me? Did the director approve it as fake?"
"No, not yet." Pei Xinyuan was still a little nervous, but now he had stopped the person and had an arrow on the string. Even if he was nervous, he had to continue acting, "Brother Cheng, I'm afraid I will really let down your good intentions this time. Director Wei …”
“You haven’t seen the message sent in the group?”
Pei Xinyuan was interrupted first, and then looked at the smile on Cheng Qian's face. He couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, "Before I had time, did the director send some important news?"
"The health director said that he would be free for two hours tomorrow afternoon. Didn't an actor have an accident and can't shoot? There will probably be some promising actors coming to audition tomorrow. The assistant director helped to express his feelings. Everyone on the set has been nervous these past two days. The clothes were very tight, and the condition during the filming was also affected, so I asked director Wei for the two hours of leave for everyone on the crew, and director Wei responded with an expression and agreed. "
Pei Xinyuan almost couldn't keep the smile on his face, "Yes, really?"
"Yes, everyone has been depressed for the past few days, and now we can finally relax. It just so happened that the director of "Shengjing Little Lady" came to the film and television city to select locations these days, and he had a full two hours of vacation. A meeting is enough. Hey, what is this in your hand?"
"Yes, it's the actor card of a good friend of mine." Pei Xinyuan managed to maintain a smile, "It's not that I thought I couldn't go, so I wanted to recommend this friend of mine to give it a try. Her name is Han Jiaojiao, and she came to the film and television city around the same time as me. Yes, we have been living together and have always had a good relationship. She is also good at acting and is prettier than me, but she has never had a good opportunity. "
There are so many girls in this film and television city who haven't encountered good opportunities.
Cheng Qian thought to himself, and took the actor card from Pei Xinyuan. He looked at the exquisitely printed photo, and his eyes lit up, "The photo without makeup is good, and this photo in costume is also good."
And it can be seen at a glance that it has been carefully prepared. Even the work introductions under the photos are mostly characters from costume dramas.
The purpose is self-evident.
With regret on his face, he said, “It’s indeed a pity.”
“Then, Brother Cheng, what do you think?”
"Such a good opportunity," Cheng Qian looked at Pei Xinyuan with a half-smile, "are you so willing to give it to your friend?"
Before Pei Xinyuan could say anything, he patted the actor card in his hand and said, "Well, why don't you go over with your friends tomorrow to meet the director. Although I think more of you, the director may think more of you. My friend, this is all uncertain. What do you think of this proposal?"
