Chapter Twenty-Six: Winning the Role

The acting skills are natural and soft, without too many exaggerated expressions, and perfectly interpret the heroine's mental breakdown in the face of the conflict between love and career and the incomprehension of her family.

Xu Yitian's heart stirred up.

Although he believed that Ji Ling would not use the affection between them casually to ask him, he should just want to promote a certain junior who has a bit of foundation.

But after experiencing Jinna's acting skills, he suddenly realized that this was clearly a fair deal that could make them win-win.

is such a talented actor, with the addition of her and Ji Ling in the new film, and with her own director, it is bound to become a trending work next year!

In recent years, he has been nominated for the most authoritative and representative Starlight Film Festival 'Best New Director' in China many times, but he has not been able to win the gold cup.

This time, he saw hope.

After Jinna's performance, everyone looked stunned, and thought that she had regressed after not studying acting for too long.

"Director Xu? Sister Ji? ”

Ji Ling showed his face, showing a smile like March spring.

"Cortana, I really didn't misunderstand you."

"Sister Ji, you mean?"

Jin Na looked up happily, and after getting Ji Ling's nod of affirmation, she looked happy when she looked at everyone.

"Jinna! I am amazed by your performance. ”

Xu Yitian was very excited to shake hands with Jin Na, but instead patted her on the shoulder.

"But to be a ballet dancer, you may need to control your size."

Jin Na is not fat, but the texture of movies and TV screens is different after all, not to mention that Xu Yitian is still a person who strives for excellence.

Ballet dancer? Could it be? Ji Ling was even happier when she heard this, she poured the wine again, poured a glass for Jin Na, and got up excitedly to look at Xu Yitian, who was selling guan.

"Director Xu, if I'm not mistaken, did you give the role of the heroine's sister in the film to Cortana?"

The younger sister of the heroine in the film is a student who loves ballet very much, but her body is out of shape due to the drugs she takes for illness, and she never gives up her ballet dream after a lot of hardships. It's a very positive character.

The character's premise is strong, brave, and unyielding. Because it is an adaptation of a well-known novel, this character in the original book is deeply loved by readers, and if he plays it well, he will definitely gain fans.

I heard that several Xiaohua's companies are asking Director Xu for this role.

Jin Na hasn't figured out the situation yet, but from Ji Ling's expression, it can be seen that this role is definitely much better than the ones she wants to fight for.

Before coming, Ji Ling briefly told Jin Na a few supporting roles that were suitable for her to play.

But this role can be said to be the heaviest and best in it, she didn't think that Xu Yitian would take this role, so she didn't mention it much.

Xu Yitian nodded and motioned for Ji Ling and Jin Na to sit down.

"This role may be the only one you can play."

As soon as Jin Na decided to transform, she was given this difficult role, Xu Yitian didn't want her to regret it after taking it, so she still showed her attitude.

"Let's be honest, another reason why this play has not been decided for so long is because this role has never been able to find a suitable actor to play."

"Good image, good temperament is suitable for playing a ballet dancer, but I can't play the character when he encounters illness, out of shape, ugly, I am a person who pursues a sense of reality, and the effect made by special effects makeup must not have the appearance brought by the real body."

It's not that he hasn't tried to let actors use special effects makeup, but the results are always unsatisfactory.

"So I need you to gain weight first and then lose weight, and divide it into two time slots to complete the shooting. I'm very optimistic about your acting skills, it depends on whether you have the courage to take on this drudgery. ”

Those artist companies who approached him, when they heard that they wanted to make this role ugly and fatten, they all said that he was too harsh and would never find a suitable person to play it.

Now, isn't it drowsiness that comes to deliver pillows.

Xu Xia on the side looked at Jin Na worriedly.

Jin Na and Ji Ling glanced at each other, and then quietly glanced at Xu Xia, seeing his worried expression at this moment.

She was relieved and smiled slightly.

"I can! Thank you, Director Xu. ”

Anyway, raise a glass and drink it all.

"Well done!"

Xu Yitian took a look, picked up the wine glass, and drank it with admiration.

"Miss Ji, you really didn't see the wrong person, you did me a big favor!"

I didn't expect Jin Na to really take it, it seems that this is indeed a serious person who really wants to act.

I still remember that he told Ji Ling before he came.

"If it's just to ask for a role through your connection, I can give her a lot of choice, but after all, this is a transformation from something else, so don't ask too much."

"Director Xu, don't rush to conclusions, these are her previous performance materials, you can take a look at them first. It's not too late to wait for her to come before making a decision. ”

He browsed Jin Na's past achievements, although there are indeed some eye-catching works, but considering that she hasn't acted for so many years after all.

It's this kind of trust again, he didn't have much hope, he didn't expect this girl's acting skills to be amazing and the perseverance to take on such a big challenge.

In the circle where traffic is rampant and appearance is dominant, it really makes him a treasure.

"That's serious, I'm just a referral. What you value is Cortana's strength, and Cortana also needs your character to complete the transformation, everyone helps each other, and is equal and reciprocal. ”

Ji Ling declined the credit.

When Gina looked for her, she had already guessed her purpose. In her opinion, since it has been difficult to do variety shows and talk shows, why not set her sights on acting, which she was originally good at.

Ji Ling is a person who pays attention to good works, has seen the small achievements that Jin Na made in school before, and knows that her love is true, plus she has talent, it is a matter of time before she sets foot in film and television and becomes popular.

She's just a guide, so that she doesn't have to take some detours.

"Sister Ji, Director Xu, thank you for giving Jin Na a chance, I thank you again for her."

Seeing that Jin Na was excited and wanted to toast again, Xu Xia hurriedly snatched her cup and toasted for her, and several people saw him drink Jin Na's cup in one go, and his hand kept holding her hand.

"Ahem."

Xu Yitian coughed, exchanged a clear look with Ji Ling, and tacitly looked away, Xu Xia's face turned red, and he let go of Jin Na's hand after realizing it.

Only Yu Xiaoye, who was silently serving as a background board on the side, looked around strangely and touched his head, not knowing what had just happened.

"Then Director Xu, Cortana, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Ji Ling came out to warm up and toasted with Xu Yitian.

Several people got what they needed, Ji Ling discovered a good actor, and Xu Yitian and Jin Na's biggest problems were solved.

The dinner was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and the atmosphere at the table was lively.

Ji Ling returned to the apartment under the escort of Yu Xiaoye, and saw her enter the house, so Yu Xiaoye left with confidence.

There was a dim light in the living room, Ji Ling was familiar with the tables and chairs in this room, and it didn't hurt if he didn't turn on the lights.

Stumbling forward along the light, the TV screen played the film starring her, Ji Xian curled up on the sofa with her legs in her arms, her eyelids trembled weakly, and she looked sleepy.

This scene is like going back to many years ago, when little Xi'er was also like this in front of the TV every day, playing her videos, waiting for her to come home.

"Xi'er~ Mom is back to provoke."

Ji Ling gave Ji Xian a bear hug, holding Xiangxiang's soft daughter and refusing to let go, like a child protecting his cherished doll.

"Hmm~ You're back, what's going on with Sister Jinna?"

Ji Xian woke up slowly.

She wasn't worried about Ji Ling's heroine's script, it was nine out of ten, but Jin Na, she was a little worried.

That Director Xu heard that he was notoriously strict, and he didn't know if Jin Na could get into his eyes.

"Cortana's matter has been resolved, and Director Xu has given her a very important role. I didn't expect it, your little sister is particularly talented in acting! It's just that it's a pity that I can't play the big heroine because of my appearance~"

Ji Ling got drunk and became talkative.

Ji Xian broke away from her hand and helped her to sit on the sofa.

"Oh, what kind of film."

"That's what I was talking to Director Xu about before."

Ji Ling slipped on the sofa, kicked off the high heels on his feet, and said in a coquettish tone like a child.

"Then aren't you worried that she's acting too well over you?"

Ji Xian coaxed her and took out makeup removers to remove her makeup.

"Who are your mother and me, who can be so easy to steal the limelight? Ann la, blah, believe in your mother's strength! ”

Ji Ling muttered and waved his hand.

"Alas~ Like a child, obviously I'm a child!"

Ji Xian shook her head helplessly and sighed, washed her face neatly, recalled her usual skin care steps to care for her face, and helped her back to the room to change into pajamas.

looked at Ji Ling's tired appearance of falling asleep on the bed, and closed the door lightly.

'Ah Yu, my mother took a few days off and was preparing for a new play, and she was really busy as an actor. ’

The new neighbor is the nephew of the boss of my mother's company, and he has a strange temper but cooks deliciously, so he doesn't feel easy to get along with. ’

'To tell you the good news, my mother hired an aunt for me to take care of me, and the aunt's surname is Xie. She has a son who plays the piano very well, and even Yin Yang, the lead singer of the band in the City Forest, takes the initiative to know him, he is still a scholar, so powerful, if only I could do this. Envy! He's going to study in Yuying next year, and I have new friends, so I'm so happy, it would be better if you were here. ’

Too much has happened in the past two days, and she wants to share it with Jinyu.

Ji Xian turns off the screen and prepares for bed. It's too late today, and I guess he's already asleep.

In the next second, the phone screen lights up.

'I'm also very good at playing the piano, I've won a prize in a competition before, you go with me!' ’

After a few years of tutoring, I paid for it by mistake. ’

Ji Xian covered her mouth and smiled, how could she feel that this was sour.

'Rest early, good night. ’

'Good night. ’

The two messages were sent out together, and both of them, who were in different places, laughed.
