Chapter 9: Meet the Director
A kitten, Xu Nanqiao in adolescence really loves cats, and has always wanted to raise a cat, because Lu's mother is afraid of small animals, so she has not been able to raise it, she once thought that if she has her own home in the future, she will definitely raise such a beautiful cat.
"It's the best and best gift I've ever received." Xu Nanqiao walked to the side of the bed and reached out to touch the kitten, but the kitten didn't recognize it, so he lay down and turned her belly to let her touch.
"Give it a name." Lu Yunzheng looked at the scene in front of him, and felt a little emotion in his heart, he was a quiet person, although he felt emotion in his heart, he would not reveal it.
"I want to think about it...... Well, I want to call it Nozomi, Nozomi of Hope. ”
This is the hope that Lu Yunzheng gave her, she will cherish it and take good care of it.
"Xiao Xi......" Lu Yunzheng read the name repeatedly, "The name is not bad, I hope it can also bring you hope in your career." ”
After settling Xu Nanqiao, Lu Yunzheng said that he still had a job, so he went to the study first.
Xu Nanqiao sat on a chair on the balcony of the room, holding the soft Xiaoxi in her arms, feeling that life had never been so good, but she didn't know why, she faintly felt a little uneasy.
She comforted herself, probably because these good things came too well and too quickly, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
Life is still business as usual, Xu Nanqiao learned a lot of things that she was eager to learn in film school, and after two weeks, she has integrated well into the new environment.
The most valuable thing is that she hasn't made friends for many years, but she didn't expect to gradually make some good friends in school.
When Gu Yan found her, she was practicing with Liang Ruo in the classroom, and she turned her head to see him, and the tears on her face hadn't had time to wipe away.
"Wasn't it time for me to come?" Gu Yan put down his hand knocking on the door.
Xu Nanqiao felt a little out of shape, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Mr. Gu, long time no see." ”
It's really been a long time, Xu Nanqiao hasn't seen him since she saw him that day, and she also knows that if she meets Gu Yan again, it must be a chance for her, but in fact, Xu Nanqiao doesn't really want to make her debut so early, after all, her acting skills still need to be polished, and it's not yet time to act.
This is how she perceives herself.
"yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been more than half a month." Gu Yan walked in, "Are you practicing?" ”
Xu Nanqiao nodded, "After class, the teacher left some exercises, and my classmates and I are doing them." ”
Liang Ruo saw that someone was coming to her, so he smiled and said, "Then Nan Qiao, I'll go back first, let's practice when we have time." ”
Xu Nanqiao said goodbye to her, turned around and saw Gu Yan in large numbers of her.
"What I told you last time, do you remember? I'm here to sign a contract with you today, and I'm here to meet your teacher by the way. Gu Yan said seriously, this seems to be very different from his last performance.
There are many things that Xu Nanqiao doesn't know, she has never encountered such a thing, and she doesn't know if she should find her teacher.
Gu Yan also expected this situation, "Who is your teacher?" ”
Xu Nanqiao said the teacher's name, and half an hour later, Teacher Li rushed to the coffee shop they said.
"Hello Mr. Li." Gu Yan stood up and shook hands with Teacher Li very politely.
After Mr. Li said hello, he looked at Xu Nanqiao again, and his eyes were a little meaningful.
Gu Yan was a delicate person, of course, he also noticed this, he smiled and pulled Teacher Li to sit down, chatted a few words, and finally got down to business.
"Teacher Li, I was very optimistic about Nan Qiao before, but I didn't expect her to be your student, it's such an honor."
"Teacher Gu, although I have only taught Nan Qiao for a short time, I can really see that this child is very talented."
It turned out that in this industry, people like Gu Yan were called teachers, Xu Nanqiao silently wrote it down, and planned to change his name in the future, Gu Yan on this side did surprise her, it didn't seem that she had identified it before, just a playboy.
The two chatted back and forth, and finally Mr. Li also symbolically asked Xu Nanqiao if he had thought about signing a contract.
Xu Nanqiao has no reason not to sign, after all, this is also arranged by Lu Yunzheng.
Coming out of the coffee shop, they saw off Mr. Li together.
"Would you like to go out for a drink together?" Gu Yan relaxed, and when he smiled at Xu Nanqiao, he was a little ruffian, bad.
"No, I'll ...... in the afternoon"
But before she could finish her refusal, she was pulled by Gu Yan and stuffed into the car.
"Teacher Gu?"
"Nan Qiao, a little white sheep like you will soon be eaten and wiped clean in the circle, and now that I have signed you, in line with the attitude of being responsible for you, I still have to take you to meet on some occasions."
Well, seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xu Nanqiao simply stopped talking.
Gu Yan, who was driving the car, smiled, "It seems that you have a big opinion of me?" ”
Xu Nanqiao denied, "No, Teacher Gu, you think too much." ”
"Nan Qiao, in this circle, the last thing you want is arrogance, look at the current little stars, which one is not the people-friendly route, and how many of the cold routes can be successful? Your teacher also said just now, you are talented in acting, since you can act, I can make you popular, you must not let your arrogance ruin everything. ”
Sounding like a serious tone, Xu Nanqiao nodded, "Thank you, Teacher Gu, for your advice." ”
"You, keep it and thank me later, I don't think you understand what I mean."
Knowing that it didn't make sense now, Gu Yan simply stopped talking, he changed the topic, "I'll take you to see Director Wu in a while, Director Wu, do you have an impression?" The Director Wu I was talking about when we first met? ”
Of course, Xu Nanqiao had an impression, "See Director Wu? ”
"Yes, I have a film of his, and I'm the casting director."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
When the opportunity comes, she can't miss it, although she still feels that she doesn't have the kind of acting skills that can interpret a role, but there must always be a first time, even if she is rejected, there is nothing to regret.
It was already dinner time in the evening, Gu Yan made a few phone calls and asked the director to eat in a high-end restaurant, before meeting Director Wu, Gu Yan also specially instructed her to act at the opportunity, smile sweetly, and have a sweeter mouth.
If this was before, she could indeed be very sweet, but in the past few years, her personality has changed a lot, and she is a little unsure of how to deal with such a scene.
"What do I think you're wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan still saw that she was uncomfortable, and she didn't want to hide it.
"Teacher Gu, I'm a little nervous, I don't know what I should do for a while?" She intends to tell the truth.
Gu Yan thought for a while and smiled shyly, "In this way, you will think that you are here to act, and I will tell you about the book." ”
……
"Oh, Teacher Gu, long time no see."
Director Wu saw Gu Yan walking in their direction with a smile, and Gu Yan also quickly stood up to greet them.
"Director Wu, long time no see." Gu Yan pulled Xu Nanqiao in front of him, "Director Wu, let me introduce you, this is our company's newly signed artist, Xu Nanqiao." ”
Director Wu's eyes began to look Xu Nanqiao up and down.
"The appearance is really good, I thought of a role in our movie that might be suitable for her."
Gu Yan gave Xu Nanqiao a color, Xu Nanqiao immediately understood, she picked up the teapot in front of her, poured a glass of water for Director Wu, and her gestures were all weak.
"It's kind of interesting." Director Wu's eyes lit up, "I have a line here, can you read it?" ”
Xu Nanqiao smiled very gently, "Thank you, director." ”
After speaking, she took the script from the director's hand.
"On the third page, the character of Luo Zhiqiu, you try to read it."
Xu Nanqiao only had a short time to read the lines, and after reading the lines, she basically had some confidence in the lines, she smiled lightly, and the lines were read out smoothly.
Director Wu listened to her read the lines, and she didn't react for a moment, and then savored it, it was really like that.
"It's really a good fit for the role." Director Wu nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Nanqiao put on a cute smile and said sweetly: "Thank you for the director's compliment, if I have the opportunity to get this role, I will definitely not disappoint the director!" ”
