Chapter 221: The Beauty of the South
Su Ci put down the invitation card for the charity dinner in his hand, and said to Qiao Song very seriously:
"Brother Qiao, I want Yu Yin to try the role of my sister. ”
"For Yuyin?"
Seeing Su Ci nodding, Qiao Song showed a look of disapproval on his face:
"Yu Yin is also a Haiyu artist now, she has her own agent, and the work arrangement planning is her agent's business, so I don't recommend that you interfere too much in Yu Yin's work. ”
Su Ci didn't speak, but she had a headache in her heart, she had too many disputes with Qiao Song about Yu Yin.
She felt that it was normal to pull a friend within her ability, while Qiao Song thought that Su Ci was doing the things of Yuyin's agent as a friend, and such a unilateral friendship was deformed and not long-lasting.
After all, no one will be willing to pay unilaterally for another person for a long time, and the party receiving help is also likely to form dependence, once one day Su Ci's contribution cannot meet Yu Yin's needs, the friendship between the two is likely to come to an end.
"Brother Qiao, I don't have to play this role with Yu Yin, I just think that her temperament is very compatible with my sister's role, and I want to give her a chance to audition. Whether it can be acted in the end or not depends on the director's final say. ”
Qiao Song's brows furrowed slightly, he lowered his head and quickly flipped through the script a few times, and asked with some doubts:
"According to your words, the role of my sister is not very outstanding, so which role did Jian Shao arrange for you?"
There are only a few main characters in the script, the brother who has been chasing the murderer for 17 years, the sister who follows in the footsteps of the brother to avenge her father, the murderer who escaped, and the police officer who handled the case.
Except for the role of his sister, there are no female characters, if he didn't know that this was the script that Jian Yi prepared for Su Ci, Qiao Song would have thought that Su Ci had taken the wrong script.
Su Ci showed a smile in her eyes, when she got the script, she had the same doubts as Qiao Song, and thought that Jian Yi had bought the wrong script.
"Brother Qiao, what do you think of the brother who chased the murderer, isn't this character interesting?"
“......”
Qiao Song was stunned for a long time, and finally was speechless for a while.
"Are you and Jian Shao interested in this role?, or are you going to change the script and change the role of your brother to a woman?"
"Change the script, when I bought the script, I discussed it with the screenwriter, and the plot content doesn't need to be changed, just replace my brother with a woman. ”
Qiao Song breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although he only glanced at it a few times just now, he could also see that his brother's role was much more brilliant than his sister's, and the story was also clever, if the director chose it well, it would be a movie that could be used to win awards.
"There is no conflict between the role you asked Yu Yin to try and the role you played, but you can let her try. ”
Qiao Song flipped the script to the home page again, and did not forget to remind Su Ci in his mouth:
"I've chosen three scripts for you, and you'll see if you're interested. ”
Su Ciyan put aside the dinner invitation card and spread the script prepared by Qiao Song on the coffee table one by one.
On top is a love movie, suitable for making an appointment with friends on the weekend, sitting in the theater with popcorn and watching it, Su Ci only glanced at it and put it aside.
The second script is a police film, the female number one does not have many scenes, and Su Ci is not very interested.
It wasn't until he turned to the third script that Su Ci sat up slightly straight.
The words "Southern Beauty" were written on the cover, Su Ci opened the script with some eagerness, and saw at a glance that "Southern Beauty" was the story of the legendary woman of the Republic of China that he had seen.
During the Republic of China, there were such beauties, if you make a beauty list, the first must be Lin Qiuyue.
Lin Qiuyue was born in Tongshi, and her family was poor since she was a child, and she was sent to the troupe by her parents early.
After eight years of studying art in the opera troupe, Lin Qiuyue gradually became the pillar of the troupe, and because of her outstanding appearance, Lin Qiuyue was sought after by many talents in Tongshi.
It is said that the talents who pursue Lin Qiuyue can line up from the opera garden to the street.
It's just that Lin Qiuyue only has her childhood sweetheart Yu Qingcheng in her heart, and she doesn't take these suitors to heart, she also discussed with Yu Qingcheng early in the morning, and will marry him when she turns eighteen.
On the eve of their marriage, Tongshi was lost, and Lin Qiuyue and Yu Qingcheng prepared to live in Shanghai.
Unexpectedly, on the way to Hucheng, Yu Qingcheng was forcibly conscripted and taken away by warlords who did not know the faction, and the two were separated.
After Lin Qiuyue lived in Shanghai, she returned to her old business in order to survive, and acted on stage again, and her reputation soon resounded in the streets and alleys of Shanghai.
Three years later, Lin Qiuyue married Pan Wensheng, who worked in the new government, and a year later, when Shanghai fell again, Lin Qiuyue followed Pan Wensheng to Hong Kong for refuge.
Lam's quiet life in Hong Kong lasted only four years, after which the Hong Kong government surrendered to the Japanese army.
For propaganda needs, Japan funded and invited Lin Qiuyue to perform pro-Japanese plays on stage, but Lin Qiuyue sternly refused.
Pan Wensheng, who used to be a new government worker, asked Lin Qiuyue to accept Japan's invitation in order to save his life, and put Lin Qiuyue under house arrest at home.
At the same time, Chongqing arranged for people to infiltrate Hong Kong to rescue cultural celebrities from all walks of life, and Lin Qiuyue immediately agreed to leave Hong Kong.
After arriving in Chongqing, Lin Qiuyue insisted on divorcing Pan Wensheng, and refused Chongqing's retention, preparing to return to Tongshi to live.
Pan Wensheng lost his official position and was abandoned by his wife, and he was very angry in his heart.
He knew that he couldn't keep Lin Qiuyue, so he thought about seeking a decent position, and after knowing the heart of the spy leader Chen Qingli, Pan Wensheng designed to dedicate Lin Qiuyue to Chen Qingli.
Lin Qiuyue fell into the hands of Chen Qingli, and when she tried her best to escape from Chen Qingli, Yu Qingcheng, who had been missing for many years, found a way to contact Lin Qiuyue.
It turned out that after Yu Qingcheng enlisted in the army, he was quickly favored by the warlord leader and took him to teach him personally, and then married the young lady of the warlord's family in Qingcheng.
In that turbulent era, there were battles of all sizes being fought every day, and although the warlord had a heavy hooligan habit, he was a patriotic general and led his men to fight many Japanese troops.
Later, the warlord died in a battle with the Japanese army, and Yu Qingcheng took over the warlord's power, and he quickly reorganized his team and took the rest of the men to the camp of the revolutionary army.
The reason why Yu Qingcheng contacted Lin Qiuyue was because he wanted Lin Qiuyue to steal information from Chen Qingli's side.
After Lin Qiuyue knew that Yu Qingcheng was still alive and had even become a general of the revolutionary army, she was both happy and resentful in her heart.
She was glad that her young lover had saved his life and had become a patriotic general, but she resented that this turbulent era had made it so difficult for the nation, and resented that her lover had not found a way to contact her and let her know that he was still alive.
After all, Lin Qiuyue's reputation in the three years in Shanghai was really not small, and Yu Qingcheng would not be able to contact her.
At this time, although Lin Qiuyue was reluctant to Qingcheng's request, she gritted her teeth and agreed when she thought of the inaction of the new government, and then thought of the bitterness of Pan Wensheng and Chen Qingli.
Lin Qiuyue was by Chen Qingli's side for three years and provided Yu Qingcheng with a lot of confidential information.
After the war, Chen Qingli had the opportunity to escape, but Lin Qiuyue was reluctant to leave Chongqing, and Chen Qingli also stayed.
Lin Qiuyue was stunned, thinking of Chen Qingli's kindness to her over the years, as well as the confidential documents he deliberately put on the surface, and then realized that Chen Qingli had long known about the things she had done.
And the reason why he didn't expose her, and even provided her with information intentionally or unintentionally, was just because he really liked her.
Knowing that Chen Qingli would be sentenced to life imprisonment after being tried, Lin Qiuyue couldn't bear it, and found Yu Qingcheng, wanting him to mediate and reduce the punishment of Chen Qingli.
Lin Qiuyue's request was rejected by Yu Qingcheng.
After Chen Qingli was imprisoned, Lin Qiuyue had a bad relationship with Yu Qingcheng and went to Hong Kong to settle down.
This is the official end of the script.
It's just that Su Ci has read Lin Qiuyue's biography and knows that Lin Qiuyue has never been married for life.
After she arrived in Hong Kong, she used the money prepared for her by Chen Qingli to open a film and television company, and filmed many film and television dramas, and also became popular with many film and television stars.
In her later years, Lin Qiuyue wrote down the story between her and Chen Qingli, and when she died, the manuscript came out, and people knew the story between Lin Qiuyue and Chen Qingli, and also glimpsed Lin Qiuyueyue's complex emotions mixed with guilt.
Su Ci read the book written by Lin Qiuyue, and when Yu Qingcheng was mentioned in the book, his tone was quite disdainful, and he used very mean words to ridicule Yu Qingcheng's bad character.
It can be seen that Lin Qiuyue is a very upright person.
Even when she recalled Yu Qingcheng in her old age, she still hated him very much, and made no secret of her hatred for him.
At this time, Qiao Song had also finished reading the script of "Seventeen Years of Chasing the Murderer", and saw Su Ci's eyes shining, and he was reluctant to let go of the script of "Beauty in the South" for a long time, knowing that she had taken a fancy to the role of Lin Qiuyue.
"Beauty in the South" is a movie that director Guan Shan is preparing to make, and Lin Qiuyue is a legendary figure that the Chinese people are very familiar with, and it is precisely because Lin Qiuyue is well-known to the audience that it is more difficult to interpret.
After all, everyone has their own Lin Qiuyue in their hearts.
In addition, there are really a lot of actresses in the circle who are targeting "Southern Beauty", and Su Ci's identity as a newcomer is really a bit of a loss.
It is said that many first-line actresses are interested in the role of Lin Qiuyue, and they will have to fight when the time comes. ”
When Su Ci heard this, his heart suddenly cooled.
If she only fights for acting, it is too difficult for her to win the role of Lin Qiuyue from many first-line actresses.
But she really likes this role.
"But......" Qiao Song paused in a lengthened voice, "if you really like this character, it's not hopeless." ”
"What's the solution?"
Su Ci's tone was a little eager, and a scorching light flashed in his dark and bright pupils.
Qiao Song was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that she would like the role of Lin Qiuyue so much.
"Guan Shan recently had some trouble with investors because of the problem of soft advertising, and I listened to his tone because he wanted to find investors again. If you know a suitable investor to introduce to Guan Shan, it will increase your bargaining chips to compete for the role of Lin Qiuyue at that time. ”
Qiao Song thought of Guan Shan's complaints about investors on the phone, and couldn't help but smile and give Su Ci an idea.
Guan Shan has been preparing for "Southern Beauty" for nearly three years, and in order to make this movie well, Guan Shan even wants to build a street during the Republic of China.
The investor wanted his product to appear in the movie as a prop, but Guan Shan felt that the investor's product was inappropriate in the movie, so he rejected the proposal, and the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel.
Qiao Song knew that Su Ci had a lot of industries under his name, and he also knew that she was not short of money, and at this time, seeing that she was quite interested in the corner of Lin Qiuyue, he thought that Guan Shan had the intention of changing investors, so he revealed the news to her.
Su Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and put his eyes on Qiao Song's hand again, "If the audition for "Southern Beauty" is successful, "Seventeen Years of Chasing the Murderer" will have to be prepared next year. ”
"This book is not bad, but the competition for the role of Lin Qiuyue in "Pretty Woman in the South" is too fierce, so you better prepare more. ”
Su Ci nodded, put his eyes on the light blue invitation card again, and asked:
"Brother Qiao, how much money should I donate to the charity dinner?"
"Generally, first-line artists start with one million, and second- and third-tier artists range from 500,000 to 1 million, you are a newcomer, but you don't need to refer to the amount of donations from others, but it can't be too little, you compare the standards of second- and third-tier artists. ”
When Su Ci heard this, he had a plan in his heart, put away the script of "Pretty Woman in the South", and prepared to go back to Wei Sihan to talk about investment.
Wei Sihan took over the studio that Jian Yi threw over, and he didn't look at it at all, and when he received a call from Su Ci, and then heard her ask about the operation of the studio, his brain was a little dazed for a while.
If Su Ci hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he still had a studio in his hand.
“...... No, Xiaoci, why did you ask about the studio? Are you not satisfied with the script last time? Or are you planning to break away from Huanyue and go out on your own?"
Wei Sihan put down the mahjong tiles in his hand, rubbed his dizzy head and walked out of the room and asked.
Su Ci heard Wei Sihan's voice being very noisy, and there was a faint sound of Ah Hang shouting 'nonsense' and 'give money'.
"Are you playing cards?" Su Ci reached out to fasten his seat belt, and saw that it was almost dinner time, and swallowed back the words that had come to his lips, "I'll go over to look for you, eat together in the evening, and talk about it after we meet." ”
"Okay, we were at the clubhouse where we celebrated you last time, and you called me at the door. ”
Wei Sihan scratched his head, turned around and beckoned the waiter to arrange the dishes, thought about it, and called the person in charge of the studio again to ask about the recent operation of the studio.
At this time, it was the evening rush hour, and although Su Ci's location was not too far from the club, it was nearly half an hour's walk.
The car was parked at the door of the clubhouse, Wei Sihan was already waiting outside, and when he saw Su Ci get out of the car, Wei Sihan came over with a sad face.
"Xiao Ci, you must help me say good things in front of Brother Jian, otherwise I won't be able to keep my skin!"
