Chapter 178 Choosing a Script
For the past twenty years or so, Ning Xingluo could be said to have been in a daze, with no dreams and nothing in particular he wanted to do.
Apart from the money in her card, she didn't have anything particularly important.
Even if there is, it is difficult to preserve it during frequent moves.
Because there is no change in her days, every day is the same and there is nothing to look forward to.
No one had expectations of her, not even herself.
She was like a dandelion with no worries. Even if she died while saving someone, it would be nothing more than a sigh in the news.
Even Ning Xingluo himself did not show much emotion when he learned that he had died and come back to life.
On the contrary, it was only when he arrived here and had to accept the so-called original owner's mission that Ning Xingluo finally developed some enthusiasm for life.
After going to the Wawa Variety Show, she realized that she didn't really like staying at home alone. Deep down, she still longed for the popularity and bustle of the crowd.
That's why she always rents houses facing the street. Subconsciously, she needs that hustle and bustle.
Traveling with other people wasn't as scary as she'd imagined, and even raising a child wasn't as scary as she'd imagined.
Of course, Haohao is a rare sensible and obedient child. If he hadn't lacked companionship, he wouldn't have been so naughty when he was a child.
……
When Ning Xingluo arrived at the company and just saw Ye Xirong, a thick stack of scripts was stuffed into his hands.
"Look, these are the ones I have screened. There are female firsts, second girls, third girls, etc."
Ning Xingluo flipped through it roughly and saw several familiar IPs, all of which were very popular novels.
"Shall I pick one?"
"See if there's anything you find particularly unacceptable. Remove one or two, and I'll discuss the rest."
"Ah?" Ning Xingluo was stunned. What did this mean? "Don't I need to audition?" And she had at least seven or eight scripts in her hands.
"Ah, what? Audition? You really have no idea of your situation right now."
"The small role you played in Pingnan Chronicles has been popular for a long time, and the role you played in Absolute Immortal was even nominated for Best Supporting Actor! These crews are vying for you."
Ok
Ning Xingluo: “Ah?” She really didn’t know!
She suddenly became excited: "What, what, who is the best supporting actor?"
Ye Xirong mentioned the name of a TV award, and Ning Xingluo's eyelids drooped suddenly: "What? I haven't heard of it at all... Ouch, it hurts!"
Ye Xirong couldn't help but knock her with the document in her hand: "What do you think it is, Fei Tian? Your acting skills are indeed not bad, but they are not to that level. It's already good to get this nomination, okay, what else do you want!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up. I have to go to a meeting. You need to finish reading all of these and pick at least two before you come back. I have to arrange the next three quarters this week."
She finally found her conscience and did not squeeze Ning Xingluo to death, which allowed her to receive a lot of money in one go.
But working on two scripts in a row still put Ning Xingluo under a lot of pressure.
After much deliberation, she chose the third female lead.
She really couldn't choose the last one.
Ye Xirong adhered to the principle of gradual and steady progress, and had no intention of forcing things by letting Ning Xingluo play the leading role in big productions by big directors all at once.
But these selected scripts all have their own advantages.
Either she is particularly optimistic about the IP, or the director team has great potential.
The common point is that the roles Ning Xingluo was offered are all very challenging. Half of them involve fighting scenes, and the other half are types that Ning Xingluo has never played before.
The roles and scenes offered to her in these scripts were not small, but Ning Xingluo really had no confidence that she could play them well.
But among this pile of scripts, there are also some with unique styles.
There are a few crews that are particularly poor. They probably saw that Ning Xingluo has a rich husband, and they were hoping that Ning Xingluo would bring in some investment after joining the crew.
There was even a script that was handed over that stated clearly in black and white that if Ning Xingluo could bring money into the crew, then everything in the crew would be up to her. She could play whatever role she wanted, and could bring any friend she wanted to act with her.
Ning Xingluo was very confused when seeing this.
No, how can there be such people? ?
She laughed angrily.
She flipped back and took a closer look. This crew was making a fantasy thriller film, and the producer and director were the same person, a name she had never heard of.
I searched online and found out that he is an emerging director who has produced works that have won awards at foreign film festivals.
But the subjects he shoots are very unconventional.
At the same time, this director is known for his unruly character, so he couldn't attract any investment.
There was a piece of gossip saying that he had almost exhausted all his assets in order to make movies.
After all, although those award-winning movies have received high reviews both on and off the Internet, they cannot be released domestically. Also, due to lack of publicity, their box office performance abroad is not impressive either, and they all lose money.
Moreover, this was his first attempt at a TV series, so even if there were investors who were optimistic about him, they only invested a small amount.
Most of them are in a wait-and-see state, and whether to make additional investments may still depend on the cast that is decided later.
Ning Xingluo suddenly became interested, took back the script he had just dropped, and continued to read it carefully.
I was mesmerized by the sight.
The script does not have as many attractive descriptive techniques as the novel, and in many places it even uses very straightforward words to describe the murderer's modus operandi.
But such simple words are very attractive.
Some parts were so cleverly designed that Ning Xingluo had to read them over and over again before he could understand them, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
------------------
Ye Xirong went to the meeting and delivered some information. In the middle, she also took the time to educate a few new trainees who did not follow the rules.
After coming back in a hurry, I saw several scripts selected by Ning Xingluo.
She frowned and said, "You are not very good at choosing scripts. With so many scripts, how can you pick the worst one so accurately?"
Meeting Ning Xingluo's inquiring eyes, she pointed to the fantasy suspense book and said, "This is it."
"Sister Ye, are you particularly not optimistic about this?" Ning Xingluo blinked, "Aren't these the scripts you have already selected?"
Ye Xirong rubbed her forehead and said, "How should I put it? I am actually quite conflicted about this. The content of the script is quite attractive to me.
But, this kind of fantasy drama is very expensive, the crew doesn't look rich, and the director has a very strange personality and is difficult to get along with. I'm afraid that you will be wronged and the drama won't be shot well.
Or worse, the director can’t raise the necessary funds before he goes bankrupt, and the filming can’t start at all.”
