Chapter 393: Emergency
"Director Chen, I know this is a reluctant request, but I still hope you can help, there are so many actors, and the replacement is a matter of your words, please see that we have a little fate, help, I will be grateful."
"Xiao Zhi, what do you want me to say before you understand? You're also a person who has been in the acting world, don't you understand? It's not as simple as changing a stand-in or changing a line, and now that all the work has started, aren't you clearly embarrassing me? ”
"Director Chen, no matter how difficult it is, it's just a matter of one sentence, so please help me." The more Ji Yuanzhi spoke, the more excited she became, she was originally two or three tables away from Chen Xin, but now she was too anxious, and her body moved directly unconsciously, sitting next to Chen Xin, her eyes were full of begging.
Seeing that Ji Yuanzhi was focusing his eyes and attention on talking to Chen Xin at this time, and had no time to take care of himself, Wu Shuang looked at the mobile phone in his hand, pondered for a while, raised his foot, and walked out the door.
"Oh, Xiao Shu, I'm in Director Chen's company now, and my aunt is also here. You put down what you're doing and hurry here, urgent! ”
"What do you say? Aunt? What aunt? Is it my mother? You mean my mom is over there now? ”
"Yes, Auntie came from home by herself, and now she is talking to Director Chen, and she can't be persuaded no matter how much she persuades."
"When did she arrive? Why didn't you tell me sooner? ”
"When I arrived in the morning, she told me a thousand times not to tell you, and threatened me that if I told you that she would run away immediately, such a big city, people are not familiar with the place, I am afraid that she will get lost, and I can't help it. I was going to appease her first and then tell you, but I didn't expect that before the meal was finished, she asked me to send her to see Director Chen. ”
"Did she tell Director Chen to let Director Chen give up my protagonist and replace it with someone else?"
"Yes, Director Chen has repeatedly emphasized that this is impossible, so he is embarrassed, but Auntie is very stubborn."
"My mom is going to make a fuss! How many times have I told her, why she just won't understand me. ”
"Let's talk about these later, Xiao Shu, you hurry up and come over now. Put what you have in advance. ”
"I see, I'll go right away."
Ji Shu hung up the phone in a hurry, and when he was thinking about whether to drive there by himself or take a taxi, Xie Shenzhang happened to come back from going out.
"Great, you came back in time, I don't know how to get out."
"What do you mean by me being a driver? My Xiaoshu is a little different today, she is dressed so beautifully, is she going to go out on a date with me behind her back? ”
Xie Shenzhang took out the car key and pressed the door button, joking casually. Obviously, he didn't notice the strangeness on Ji Shu's face, but he just saw that she had changed into a going out suit and retouched it, which was different from usual, so he made a joke.
"Don't laugh, I don't have time to talk to you about this now, the situation is urgent, you hurry up and drive." Ji Shu didn't turn his head to look at Xie Shenzhang, but jumped into the car directly, and after quickly fastening his seat belt, he stared straight ahead, very anxious, and his face was uncontrollably covered with a layer of displeasure.
Seeing Ji Shu's performance so obviously, Xie Shenzhang felt that something was not quite right, so he changed his previous joking tone and asked seriously: "What's wrong?" What's going on, why are you in such a hurry? ”
Ji Shu saw that Xie Shenzhang was serious, so he withdrew his gaze, looked at him, and said, "Who else can there be?" It's not my stubborn mom yet! ”
Hearing Ji Shu say this, Xie Shenzhang was a little surprised: "Auntie? What happened to Auntie? You mean now you're going to let me take you to her? ”
"yes, it's annoying!"
"However, it seems that the time to go back is a bit rushed now, and the distance is not too close, and besides, it is too late to prepare for anything in such a hurry."
"It's not to go to my hometown, my mom is on our side now."
"Where is she now? When did you come over. Xiaoshu, you are really, why didn't your aunt tell me earlier, I came to pick her up in advance, what is the matter now, she will definitely blame me for not being enthusiastic enough and neglecting her old man. ”
The reason why Xie Shenzhang said this was not to blame Ji Yuanzhi, but that he felt that it was rare for Ji Yuanzhi to come over, since she was Ji Shu's mother, then he had to seize the opportunity, it stands to reason that he should fulfill the friendship of the landlord, behave well, and please his future husband, but now he doesn't even know that the old man has arrived, which is too dereliction of duty.
"She doesn't have time to worry about these things with you now, but they are very powerful, and they came here to do something big, not to come to see you."
Ji Shu is very depressed now, Ji Yuanzhi has mentioned to her countless times during this time that she should turn down the opportunity to perform, she is already depressed enough, and she has made it clear many times, saying that she will not give up no matter what, she thinks that her mother is just making trouble and will compromise after a long time, but now her mother not only does not understand her well, but she comes to the director by herself, which makes her feel so happy, she is really angry.
"Why do I think you're sour, did you quarrel with your aunt again? Is it okay if the character's affairs are still not communicated? ”
Ji Yuanzhi objected to Ji Shu's acting in the movie, Xie Shenzhang knew, because when Ji Yuanzhi called several times, Xie Shenzhang was beside him, he heard Ji Shu and Ji Yuanzhi arguing, and then Ji Shu also complained to him several times about this matter, in addition, Ji Yuanzhi also called him and asked him to help him persuade Ji Shu to stop acting. At that time, he was afraid that the old man would be unhappy, so he pretended to approve of Ji Yuanzhi very much and stood on Ji Yuanzhi's side unconditionally.
"It's fine if it's just a fight, but do you know where she is now? Just now, the second sister called and said that I was now at Director Chen's side, and asked me to hurry over. You say, is my mom crazy? ”
"How did Auntie think of going to Director Chen? Oh, I see, is she still trying to make you refuse to play the heroine of the movie "Spring and Autumn"? ”
"Isn't it? Sister Shuang just said that my mother arrived in the morning, just because she didn't want me to know, so she deliberately asked Sister Shuangjie not to tell me. ”
"Then now that you have passed so rashly, will Auntie be even more excited when she arrives? Isn't she determined to find a way to get you to push it off? ”
"She's hard-hearted? I'm still done! Who does she think she is, and why should she interfere with my business? Can she control what I want to play? ”
"Xiao Shu, how can you say that? Anyway, Auntie is also for your good, besides, isn't she afraid that you will be the same as her because of the past? ”
"No matter what, she can't just go to Director Chen, right? What do you do with someone? Isn't that embarrassing me? Now that I have not officially started the show, what will the crew think of me at that time? ”
"Let's explain it to Director Chen and the crew at that time, I'm sure they will understand. The top priority now is to try to convince the aunt. ”
"She's not that easy to convince, and if she could figure it out, she wouldn't be here today."
"Hey, no matter what, you still have to talk to her first, don't be too tough, Auntie should be more excited now, it won't be good if you quarrel again."
"I'll try my best."
After Wu Shuang finished the call, he explained to the driver, asking the driver to pay attention to Ji Shu, and tell her immediately when he saw Ji Shulai.
After finishing speaking, Wu Shuang turned around and walked back to the conference room. As soon as they arrived at the door, the conversation between Ji Yuanzhi and Chen Xin had been clearly transmitted.
"Xiaozhi, it's not that I don't want to help you, if the impact is not big, I will definitely agree, but I really can't do it."
"Why can't it be done? What do you want me to do so that you can let our family Xiao Shu go? Ji Yuanzhi was really anxious, and began to speak indiscriminately, and the awe and respect for Chen Xin at the beginning slowly patted the back of her mind, for her now, the top priority is to persuade Chen Xin to replace Ji Shu, and she won't think about anything else for the time being.
"Xiaozhi, what are you talking about, what are you not letting go, do you know how many people are looking forward to this role? Do you know how rare this opportunity is for Ji Shu, as a person whose career has just started in the past few years? This movie, if it is made well, has an immeasurable impact on the career and future of the decimate. And at the beginning, before we finalized it, we also confirmed it with Xiao Shu repeatedly. ”
Chen Xin said this, and when he saw Wu Shuang walking in, he raised his hand and stretched out his hand in the direction of Wu Shuang, and then said: "It just so happens that Miss Wu is also here, you can ask her, as Xiao Shu's agent, all things are handled by Miss Wu, I think Miss Wu knows best, do we mean to force Xiao Shu?" Is it on the basis that both parties are willing and negotiate on an equal footing, and even Miss Wu's intention to perform is stronger? I know you're more excited now, and I shouldn't have heard what you said just now, and I won't care about the rest. ”
When Chen Xin said this, he was actually stepping down the ladder for Ji Yuanzhi. Chen Xin felt that he had explained everything clearly, if Ji Yuanzhi was a person who was more measured and controlled, then it should be enough at this time, after all, if he continued to talk about it, it would not be possible to change anything, and it would not achieve the result that Ji Yuanzhi wanted.
However, the current Ji Yuanzhi, how could she be so sensible, since she has been out of the way, since she has come all the way, how can she give up like this?
"Director Chen, just beg me, do you understand my mother's mood? You also know what happened many years ago, I really don't want Xiao Shu to repeat my mistakes, my lover is no longer there, I am such a baby daughter now, if she has something more, how can I live? Ji Yuanzhi was almost about to cry, and she was crying, and everyone present could hear it.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xin's heart floated for a while for no reason, especially when Ji Yuanzhi mentioned that year, his heart was very uncomfortable.
The incident back then had a great blow and impact on Ji Yuanzhi, if it weren't for that incident, maybe Ji Yuanzhi wouldn't have become what it is today, for an artist, suddenly broke off his career, how much pain should be in his heart, Chen Xin can't understand it, but he can feel it.
In addition, considering that Ji Yuanzhi is just a woman's heart. After thinking about it like this, the little anger and impatience that Chen Xin had just aroused was gone.
It was quickly pressed back and replaced by sympathy, understanding, and miserliness.
Therefore, Chen Xin did not speak immediately at this time, and when Ji Yuanzhi said this, he paused for a while, and his expression became solemn.
After stopping for about a few tens of seconds, Chen Xin thought in his heart before he spoke: "Xiaozhi, I regret that incident back then, not only caused immeasurable losses to you personally, but also for me, just because I didn't find the candidate I liked, I have not been afraid until now, now I think Xiao Shu is suitable in all aspects, she has the shadow of you back then, you can rest assured, we will try our best to protect our actors." You asked me to change all my plans for your words, and I put aside my personal wishes, would anyone else agree? Have you ever calculated how much manpower, material and financial resources this will cost? ”
Chen Xin said this, Ji Yuanzhi also had a rough idea in her heart, and she immediately understood, it seems, but no matter how she says it, Chen Xin is unlikely to agree to her request.
