Li Xiaole immediately understood, and couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly, squinting his eyes at the smiling Charlie, thinking that Jiang was still old and spicy...... This method is really amazing, it not only does not reduce the salary of too many actors, but also raises this personal work to the height of preserving the survival of the council, so that the actors can earn a good reputation~~

At that time, even if this TV series is not effective and is scolded by all the people of England, these British actors can still stand up and say: "Ladies and gentlemen, I knew it was a bad movie, but I still made it, why?" Because I hope to do my part to preserve the flame of the art of the Drama Council~!! ”

And the Drama Council can also get a sum of money to develop, although it seems that the price paid by the Black Pearl Company has not changed, it is only a small change in the terms, but it allows the other two parties to get what they need.

This veteran committee member is indeed a scheming ...... Li Xiaole sighed in his heart, there are really masters everywhere, but he still couldn't help but look at this chubby and gentle old man with some curiosity in his heart and asked:

"Charlie, with your leadership skills, why didn't you become the president of the council?" If a person like Charlie, who is flexible and can take care of the overall situation, would be in power, the council would not have fallen into the field it is today.

"I can't." Charlie shook his head with a faint smile on his face: "As long as Fred is the president, I will always support him behind him, in fact, this old man of mine is already so old, he should have retired a long time ago, where is there any interest in the management council." ”

"......" Li Xiaole didn't say anything more when he listened, because he suddenly understood that although Charlie and Fred were ridiculed as gay couples, the emotions between them were no different from that of an ordinary old husband and wife, no matter how they usually ridiculed each other, in essence, the deep emotional bond between these two old men was indestructible.

In this way, after changing the contract, Black Pearl contacted the actors again to send a new email, and everything was just as old Charlie expected, and all the actors quickly agreed to sign the contract.

Now the only character is left to be decided, Sherlock Holmes's invincible woman Irene, how to create this character?

In fact, in Li Xiaole's mind, he doesn't want this drama full of modern flavor to be dyed with too much nostalgia, since he wants to subvert everything, it is better to subvert it thoroughly, the Erin in his mind already has a rough outline, since she is a woman who can't be seen through by an analytical maniac like Sherlock Holmes, then of course she is a different existence, and her IQ is super high...... And to be young......

There are two such women he knows, one is Shaland, the heroine of the Swedish novel called "The Dragon Tattooed Girl", and the other is Lei Ting...... Since planning the series Sherlock Holmes, Li Xiaole has been thinking about how interesting it would be if Sherlock Holmes met an alternative genius like Lei Ting......

To select a girl similar to Lei Ting, Li Xiaole also held an actress selection meeting in the council according to this standard, but what disappointed him was that among the more than 100 candidates, there was no suitable candidate, British actresses are many beautiful and have excellent acting skills, but there are very few who have that kind of cold and mysterious temperament, and there is no such genius as Lei Ting, simply put, they are not smart enough...... Smart people have much more agile eyes than ordinary people, which can't be acted.

He needs more than just a genius young actress, he needs to have a genius brain in his own right...... But this kind of person doesn't seem to be found at all, and Li Xiaole feels very discouraged because of this, a perfect idea is missing a corner, which really makes him feel very unhappy, but what can he do, if it really doesn't work, then he can only use the original Laura Puvo......

At night, there was a drizzle outside the window, and the whole of London looked gray and damp, Li Xiaole was lying on the sofa in the council office, secretly looking at Lei Ting, who was sorting out documents at the desk next to her, her charming and moving face was slightly glowing under the light, and her cold and flawless temperament was no different from five years ago, and her mood was also very peculiar, as if she had returned to the time when she first met her......

"Sister Tingting, take a break." Li Xiaole couldn't help but Lei Ting, she spent 5 hours in front of the computer to screen those actors' information.

"Wait, I haven't finished researching yet, there must be some of these actresses with potential, we ignored them." Lei Ting continued to stare intently at the movie screen.

"Ah...... My back hurts so much......" Li Xiaole saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, and simply cried out in pain on the bed.

"What's wrong with you?" Lei Ting immediately put down the keyboard in her hand, walked over and sat next to Li Xiaole, rubbed his waist, and said coldly:

"If you don't spend 14 hours a day writing scripts, it's no wonder if you don't listen to your back and don't hurt your back."

"This is for my beloved career, and I am tired and happy~~~" Li Xiaole lay on the sofa and enjoyed the gentle power of Lei Ting's fingers massaging comfortably on her waist, and looked at her with a sideways face: "Sister Tingting, you work so hard, aren't you tired?" ”

"I'm not tired, I'm used to it." Lei Ting didn't raise her head, and said as a matter of course.

"Why? You don't like these things, how can you not get tired? You're not short of money right now, so there's no need to be so lucky. Li Xiaole stared at her and asked.

"......" Lei Ting seemed to be stunned by the question, Xiumei thought about it slightly, and then said slowly: "After all, I am one of the three founders of Black Pearl, and it is my responsibility to develop this company well, and if I am not there, with your loose management style, the company will fall apart a long time ago." ”

Li Xiaole looked at Lei Ting's expression when he said this under the light, and suddenly overlapped with the way old Charlie told Fred before...... He seemed to understand that Lei Ting was actually no different from old Charlie to Fred than old Charlie was to Fred, it was the kind of unconditional dedication...... I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart, turned around and gently stroked Lei Ting's black hair, and said softly:

"Sister Tingting, you don't have to do so much for me, it's not worth ......"

"Can you restrain your stinky fart spirit? You've raised the bragging standards of the entire city of London. Lei Ting's evil eyes shrank slightly, and she was not interested in Li Xiaole's warmth and sweetness, but said coldly:

"I have a very comfortable time in Black Pearl, do you think I'm for you, I can't find a more convenient job to change tastes, I just watched the beautiful backs of 117 beautiful American girls~~" The character of Emma has an iconic shot in the episode where she appeared, which is a sexy shot of a naked back, so every actress who comes to audition has to take photos with her bare back on the spot for the crew to choose, and the profile photos are all in Lei Ting's computer.

"Hah...... What's the use of just looking at it......" Li Xiaole grinned and said speechlessly: "Unless there is a woman who knocks on our door in order to fight for the role, then you can still take advantage of it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door of "Dong Dong Dong~", Li Xiaole and Lei Ting were stunned on the spot, thinking that there are really actresses looking for unspoken rules? Isn't it, the high-flying Britons also come to this set?

Lei Ting got up and went over to open the door, Li Xiaole sat up sideways, and saw a familiar face coming in, little Hermione in Harry Potter - Emma Walter in a black leather trench coat.

"Emma~ Why are you here?" Li Xiaole was a little surprised, it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, why was this sister-in-law still on the council so late? In this old European building, watching little Hermione in Harry Potter appear in front of him late at night, it is really like traveling to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"The director wants to ask you a political question." Emma walked in with her long plump hair, her slightly curled red lips spit out a deliberately suppressed voice, her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, and her elegant demeanor vaguely revealed an aggressiveness, which looked both playful and bewitching.

"What's the problem?" Li Xiaole was confused by this little beauty, and looked at Lei Ting, but Lei Ting had an interested expression, didn't you say that no actress came to knock on the door, you see, isn't this a little beauty coming~?

"What do you think about racism, and do you think you have been discriminated against since you came to the UK?" Emma sat down on the couch on her own, her charming brown eyes glinting amber.

"Well...... Somewhat a little. Li Xiaole didn't understand her intention in asking this question, and replied truthfully.

"Are you angry?" Emma looked at her solemnly.

"Well, of course, I have the right to be angry about it." Li Xiaole nodded, from the moment he landed in London, he felt the prejudice and hostility of the British people on top of him.

"That's right~! Since you dare to be angry and unfair for this, why do you treat others like this~! You are discriminated against because of race, so how can you discriminate against me because of age~! Emma raised her graceful chin and argued like a female lawyer.

"What do you mean...... Li Xiaole was even more confused, how could he be taken into the ditch by this little beauty all of a sudden.

"She was so young that I turned down her request to come for an interview." Lei Ting leaned against the wall and explained beside her.

Li Xiaole also reacted, it turned out that this little Hermione wanted to interview Erin, because she had to audition bareback on the spot, in order to take into account public opinion, Lei Ting excluded actresses under the age of 20.

Emma ...... Listen to me, the role of Erin is not suitable for you, how to say it, it is a little sexy, which will ruin your image, and this is also for your good~~" Li Xiaole explained kindly.

"It's not fair~! Why are you discriminating against me because of my age? Emma stood up without flinching, stared at Li Xiaole's eyes and said proudly:

"You know what? I'm 17 years old, I've been acting in world-class movies since I was 9 years old, and I'm also one of the top five actresses in the whole UK in terms of box office appeal, and so far this year, I've won all the best new actresses in the UK, and I can't count the awards myself~! How can you ruin my rightful right to interview for a role just because of my age!? ”

"Okay, Emma, I apologize to you for this, but, really, I can't let you be naked on camera, then I will feel that I am sorry for your parents, if I am a father, I don't want my daughter to be branded as pornographic~" Li Xiaole said gently, leading her out the door, in his mind, he still felt that this little Hermione was still a pure and naughty little girl in Harry Potter, and he really couldn't bear to let her enter the dirty adult world early.

"I'm an actor~! My body is my tool for art and beauty, how can you equate nudity with pornography on camera? Emma shouted uncomfortably, but felt that Li Xiaole's hand was amazingly strong, and he was about to push out the door, so he took off his windbreaker in a hurry, revealing the beautiful carcass inside......

Li Xiaole was dumbfounded, his jaw was about to fall out, my god...... This little beauty is not wearing clothes~~!?
