Chapter 288
Xia Chaoqun crossed his arms and leaned against the office desk. He had no intention of speaking up for Jiang se. Instead, he stuck out his tongue and touched the top of his jaw.
There was no sound in the office. Even the woman who had led him in had shrunk her heels and carefully controlled her breathing, not letting herself make too much noise.
A strange silence pervaded the air. Liu Ye noticed that Jiang se did not say anything after she finished her sentence. She was waiting for his answer.
Zhao rang supported his legs with his elbows and leaned his upper body forward a little. His eyes were filled with anxiety.
“Liu Ye, why don’t you consider it?”
The movie ” demon ” had been delayed for too long. From Zhao rang’s point of view, Jiang SE’s performance today had far exceeded his expectations. When she entered the room, her manner of speech, actions, and expressions had brought Zhang Yuqin to life.
Before this, Zhao rang had also thought about Zhang Yuqin’s style several times. What kind of character image should she have to better fit the female lead in the script?
However, the moment he saw Jiang se, Zhao rang realized that Jiang se had brought Zhang Yuqin to life in the script. Her slightly hunched back, messy hair, hollow and lifeless eyes, and pale face were all body language to tell the audience that she was a woman who had been tortured and that life was not as she wished.
Even though she hadn’t said her lines, the despair in her eyes was moving.
“There’s no need to think about it, director Zhao. I’ll just take on this drama.”
Liu Ye smiled, but yang Boxi was surprised by his straightforwardness. Then, he said anxiously,
“Brother ye!”
Liu Ye ignored him and put his palms together. actually, I’m very interested in this drama too. I liked it a lot when I read the script earlier. The reason why I didn’t agree to take it up was that the more I like it, the more cautious I am.
His words caused Zhao rang to heave a long sigh of relief. His furrowed brows relaxed almost instantly, and he revealed a smile.
“That’s great!”
Zhao rang clenched his fist and said, ” you had a great feeling when you were acting with Sese just now. There was a lot of tension when you looked at each other.
Liu Ye pretended to touch the sewing machine. Even though there was nothing in front of him, he did not give off the feeling of awkwardness or acting. On the contrary, he could easily bring people into his mood. This was very impressive.
“Is this your first time playing the villain?”
Once Liu Ye agreed to take on ” demon “, the atmosphere in the office immediately changed. Other than yang Boxi, who had a worried look in his eyes and a bitter smile on his face, everyone else was smiling. Liu Ye raised his head and glanced at Xia Chaoqun. Xia Chaoqun also pursed her lips and looked relaxed.
Previously, she was not surprised by Jiang SE’s performance. When Jiang se had asked him to take on the role, she was not worried either. He did not know if it was because she had too much confidence in Jiang se or because she was not afraid of Liu Ye taking on the role.
it’s indeed my first time, but there’s always a first time for everything. I’ve been playing too many positive roles in recent years and I do have the intention to change.
He smiled and shook Jiang SE’s hand.”It’ll be a pleasure working with you in the future.”
Without any worries, Zhao rang was now in the mood to talk.
Sese has made great progress this time. Rehearsing in a drama troupe is really a good training. I was worried that you would consider it. After all, I’ve asked you out for a long time, but you didn’t give in.
Liu Ye laughed and crossed his legs in a comfortable sitting position.
there are many factors to consider, but after considering for a long time, we only need an opportunity. He stretched out his right hand and pinched his thumb and index finger together, making a gesture.
“I don’t want to miss a really good opportunity either.”
“Is it because Sese’s performance moved you?”
Zhao rang asked with interest. Liu Ye thought about it carefully. Yang Boxi thought that he would not answer, but he said, ”
“I won’t hide it from you. If someone else asked me this question, I might not say anything. But since director Zhao asked, I’ll just say a few words.”
He looked at Jiang se and smiled.
Jiang SE’s acting skills are indeed beyond my expectations. However, that’s not what moved me.
“You’re not?”
Liu Ye’s answer surprised both Zhao rang and yang Boxi. Jiang se had rehearsed a scene with him the moment she entered the room. When she made the request, Liu Ye agreed to take on the show without even discussing it with him.
The people present would probably think that the reason he had accepted this role was related to Jiang SE’s previous performance.
After all, the reason why he did not accept ” demon ” was not because he was worried that the script was not good enough. He was just worried that Zhao rang would not be able to produce the script. Secondly, he was worried that Jiang se was a newbie and was still young. She would not be able to act as Zhang Yuqin and would not fit his role.
Once Jiang SE’s performance exceeded his expectations, half of Liu Ye’s concerns would be dispelled. Yang Boxi thought that was the main reason why he had agreed to take the script. To his surprise, he said that it was not entirely the case.
it’s indeed not. It should be said that it’s not entirely true. This is only one of the reasons.
Liu Ye shook his head and sighed with emotion.
“Most importantly, it’s because of Jiang SE’s cautious attitude.”
In order to lose 12 pounds for the role, she knew that her acting skills were not good enough, so she went to the Grand Theater for nearly half a year to train.
These should only be any two of the things she had mentioned before. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to improve so quickly.
Liu Ye liked the way she treated the movie. She was cautious when dealing with the role. She did not cut corners, did not take any chances, and did not rely on others. She relied on her own efforts to win his favor in the end.
She didn’t rely on her background to suppress others, nor did she rely on the friendship between Xia Chaoqun and him to repeatedly strike a deal. She didn’t even pester him endlessly. On the contrary, she was prepared to strike with one blow.
She was determined to cut off all means of retreat. In the past six months, she had devoted herself to preparing for one thing. Now that she had slimmed down to this extent, it was obvious that she would not be able to attend any commercial activities or take on any endorsement jobs in the future.
In fact, with her current image, she might not even have the chance to match the style of the doukou in “Beiping event” in order to slim down for “the demon,” let alone in commercial activities.
Jiang se did not give herself any room for escape. Instead, she was determined to walk down the same path. Liu Ye used to have this kind of ruthlessness too.
His words made Zhao rang fall into deep thought, and yang Boxi had nothing to say. This was indeed Liu Ye’s character, and since he had already said so much, there was probably no room for negotiation.
However, due to the popularity brought about by “rescue mission “, a few foreign directors had extended an offer to him. This opportunity was actually very rare. It was too difficult for Chinese celebrities to break into the European and American markets. If he delayed it, it would be difficult for him to encounter such an opportunity again.
