Chapter 101 Recommended Chapter Like a Man Trying His Hand (Ch 101)

“Indeed, we are still missing one more person. The original actress who played Li Huijun is in the process of re-selecting someone due to schedule issues.”

Director Han nodded and explained.

“So that’s how it is.”

Qi Jia nodded and looked at the reactions of others. It was obvious that they had known about this for a long time.

“Okay, everyone, take a look at the scripts in your hands. Let’s discuss the filming schedule for the next four months.”

Director Han opened the script, cleared his throat and continued.

Qi Jia opened his script and listened to Director Han, but his attention was focused on the character of Li Huijun.

From the script, Li Huijun was born in a family that favored boys over girls. Her parents gave all their love to her brother.

She was almost left alone, with very little concern for her, and sometimes even wanted her to help the family.

She earned all her college tuition and living expenses by working part-time.

Later, through her own efforts, she got the opportunity to go abroad as an exchange student and changed her destiny.

After reading the entire character introduction, Qi Jia quickly extracted the character label of Li Huijun.

Pretty, academically gifted, kind, independent, obedient, considerate of others, and caring.

But at the same time, due to family reasons, she is a little shy.

After summarizing the character labels, a figure suddenly appeared in Qi Jia’s mind.

This character is extremely similar to Gu Senxiang. Apart from their different families, their personalities are exactly the same.

“Maybe we can let Zhang Ruonan give it a try.”

Qi Jia thought so in his mind and planned to mention it to Director Han after the meeting.

More than an hour later,

“Does anyone have a different opinion on this arrangement?”

Director Han asked once, and when no one had any objections, he announced that everyone could go home.

“Director Han, I have something I want to talk to you about.”

After everyone left, Qi Jia told Director Han his thoughts.

“Li Huijun really hasn’t made up her mind yet.”

After listening to this, Director Han thought about it, looked embarrassed and said.

But the Shanghai government is behind this investment, and it is one of Shanghai’s key projects this year, so I can’t make the decision alone.”

Qi Jia knew that Director Han had misunderstood that he wanted to take the back door, but he was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he took out his cell phone and

After finding “Sadness Is Like a River” on the Internet, I went straight to the clip where Gu Senxiang appeared.

“Director Han, please take a look at the movie she and I worked on last year. Zhang Ruonan played Gu Senxiang in it. Doesn’t she look a lot like Li Huijun?”

oh?

Director Han became interested when he heard it, so he came over and watched it carefully.

After seeing the clip where Gu Senxiang’s clothes were splashed with coffee, his eyes lit up. He reached out to pull the progress bar back and watched it again carefully. After repeating it several times, he stopped.

“The characters’ personalities and demeanor are indeed very similar. So please ask her when she is free to come for an audition.”

After reading it, Director Han made the decision without hesitation.

“Okay, Director Han, I’ll go back and contact her now.”

Qi Jia nodded, got up and returned to his room, then called Zhang Ruonan directly.

After the call was connected, Zhang Ruonan’s soft and sticky voice came from the other end. It was obvious that she was still asleep.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“You haven’t woken up yet. It seems you still have too little to live.” Qi Jia joked.

“Why, do you want to treat me to a meal? I remember someone owes me a few meals.” Zhang Ruonan said.

“Sure, but you have to come to Crane City.”

“Hmm? Is there a crew you want to introduce to me?”

Zhang Ruonan is very smart. She guessed it before Qi Jia even said it.

“Yes, a TV series about campus debates…”

On the phone, Qi Jia briefly told Zhang Ruonan the story of the script and the character of Li Huijun.

After hearing this, Zhang Ruonan thought for a moment and said.

“It sounds interesting. I’ll talk to the company first and give you a reply later. If there’s no problem, I can go for the audition tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll send you the script now.”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jia sent an electronic version of the script to Zhang Ruonan.

It didn’t take long, about half an hour, before Zhang Ruonan sent him a message.

“Wait for me to come over and kill you tomorrow at 3 pm.”

【I only take one bite.jpg】

Done! Qi Jia replied with an empty wallet expression, then went out and came to Director Han’s room and said something to him.

…

On the second day, the filming of “Hello, Debaters” officially started.

The opening ceremony was held downstairs in the hotel. The crew set up a stage in the hotel square.

At seven o’clock in the morning, Qi Jia came downstairs with his assistant, and soon Lin Xiyi and a few others also came down.

Qi Jia yawned loudly. He was watching Douyin last night, watching cow hooves being repaired and horsefly larvae being pulled out. He accidentally stayed up late while watching.

Standing next to him was Lin Xiyi. The little girl looked energetic and her big eyes were shining.

I saw the crew members busy placing cakes on the altar.

Qi Jia felt a little hungry as he hadn’t had breakfast yet.

So, while the staff wasn’t paying attention, he took a small French bread, tore it open and started eating.

Feeling a bit dry, he took out another bottle of soy milk, opened it and started slurping it.

While eating, I heard Lin Xiyi’s stomach growling next to me.

Turning around, I saw the little girl, holding her stomach with an embarrassed look on her face.

“You didn’t have breakfast either?” Qi Jia asked.

Lin Xiyi nodded embarrassedly. It was really embarrassing.

“Eat it, don’t be too hungry.”

Qi Jia didn’t care at all. He reached out and gave her one as well, tore it open and stuffed it into her hand.

“This, isn’t too bad?” Qi Jia was brave, but Lin Xiyi didn’t dare to do that.

“What are you afraid of? No one will notice. If you are afraid, just stand behind me and eat.”

Qi Jia didn’t care at all. He took a step forward to stand beside Lin Xiyi, and took another sandwich and started eating.

Hearing Qi Jia say this, Lin Xiyi smiled secretly, then hid behind Qi Jia and started eating with big mouthfuls.

“This pastry is good, you should try it too.”

“Mm, the one with osmanthus filling is delicious.”

“This plum is not bad either, quite crisp.”

…

The two of them took turns to eat, and by the time the staff noticed, the offerings in front of them had been eaten to pieces.

“Teacher Qi Jia, please don’t eat it anymore. If you like it, I’ll save it for you after the opening ceremony.”

After restocking the offerings, the staff member said with a smile on his face.

“Sorry, I was too hungry and couldn’t hold it back. Hiccup, I’m full now, thank you.”

At nine o’clock in the morning, the ceremony began.

The area around the stage was already crowded with people, including media and everyone’s fans.

After Director Han’s brief speech, he began to introduce the main creative team. The host first introduced the male lead.

“First, let’s talk about the actor who plays the male lead Bai Yu, Mr. Qi Jia.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a warm applause from the audience. Qi Jia stood up and waved to the audience with a smile.

As he waved his hand, the Jabuticabas who had already occupied the center position excitedly raised their phones and cameras and took photos of him.

“Qi Jia! You’re so handsome!”

“Qi Jia, come on, we support you.”

“Qi Jia, don’t stay up late anymore! You’ve got dark circles under your eyes!”

After the fans made a lot of noise, the host introduced the female lead.

“The actress who plays the female lead Yi Xiaoxi is Ms. Lin Xiyi.”

As the words fell, Xiyi, with a lovely face, stood up and waved to everyone.

After introducing the creative team, it was time to unveil the machine.

Director Han and another local leader who was invited to attend the event stood on each side. As the host said,

“Lift the veil. Once the veil is lifted, good fortune will come.”

The two of them worked in sync and peeled back the red cloth covering the machine.

After the veil was removed, the staff who had been prepared for a long time began to distribute three incense sticks to each person.

Then, everyone, led by Director Han, prayed together and prayed for smooth sailing and safety.

The last step is to send red envelopes.

Director Han held a thick stack of red envelopes in his hand, walked up to the main creators, and gave red envelopes to everyone.

As the male and female protagonists, Qi Jia and Lin Xiyi naturally got the most.

Judging from the feel of it, it should be worth 10,000 yuan.

After handing out the red envelopes, it was time for the media to interview Qi Jia, a rising star in the entertainment industry.

Naturally, he was besieged by major media outlets, the scene was in chaos, and the microphone almost went into his mouth.

After finally dealing with the media, he finally had some free time to take photos with the fans who had been waiting eagerly.

“Qi Jia, I wish your new drama continues to be a big hit. Here are the flowers we bought for you this morning.”

A pretty girl who looked like a fan representative came up with a bouquet of flowers and said.

“Thank you for your support. Have you all had breakfast?”

Qi Jia took the flowers gratefully, bowed to express his gratitude to the fans, and then asked with concern.

Seeing their idols caring about them so much, the little sisters were moved to tears.

Some said they had eaten, while others said they had not eaten yet and were almost starving to death.

“How can you skip breakfast? Wait for me.”

Qi Jia said this, then put the flowers in the assistant’s hands, ran to the altar, took out an empty box,

Under the astonished gazes of his fans, he picked out the expensive cakes, fruits and drinks on the altar and filled a box with them.

Then he returned to the fans with the photo in his hand and called two people to help him post it.

“I’m sorry, the conditions are so simple, please make do with it.”

After distributing them, he picked up a snack and took the lead in showing off,

Most of the fans at the scene met Qi Jia in person for the first time. Seeing their idol so down-to-earth, everyone immediately liked him.

So, everyone started showing off, but halfway through the meal they remembered that they hadn’t posted to their Moments yet?

On the other side, Lin Xiyi was also interacting with fans. After seeing Qi Jia’s actions, her fans all showed envy.

Lin Xiyi’s eyes rolled around, and she followed suit and ran to the altar.

I packed a box of offerings and ate them with my fans.

By the time the crew members realized what was happening, there were only three melons and two dates left on the table.
