487 What Did This Role Have To Do With Yon?


    Since Mufeng knew that Mingguan would be having dinner here tonight, it was definitely not a coincidence that he had invited them out as well.


    CEO Wang had an idea and suggested, “Since Director Li Mingguan is here, why don’t we ask him toe over and say hello to CEO Qin? And he can also get to know Miss Jiang.”


    As for Yon?


    Ha!


    !!


    What did Niannian’s role have to do with Yon?


    “Sure.” Mufeng nodded.


    For some reason, CEO Wang seemed to see the praise in Mufeng’s eyes.


    He didn’t know if he was seeing things.


    However, it did not stop CEO Wang from being excited after receiving Mufeng’s affirmation. He quickly called the waiter in.


    *


    Mingguan was currently having a meal with Cao Jingchen, Gu Fei, Shuidong, Yon, and their respective managers.


    Jingchen, Gu Fei, and Shuidong had already been confirmed to be cast in the movie after the audition.


    Gu Fei and Shuidong were both best actors, and both of them were top-notch in the industry in terms of their acting skills and personal connections.


    It wasn’t that they were begging to act in this movie, but that after the mission was given, they had to be in the movie.


    Gu Fei and Shuidong were the ticket sales assurance right now. With them around, there would be no problem with the box office.


    Gu Fei and Shuidong were definitely among the people who could make the audience willing to buy tickets at movie theaters just because they were actors in the film.


    And although Jingchen was young, his acting skills were highly recognized.


    Moreover, he had acted in many Hollywood movies and was very well-known internationally, which would make it easier for their drama to open up in the international market.


    Yon was the only one who got the role through CEO Yao of Qicheng Films.


    Fortunately, there were a lot of roles in this film, and the scenes given to each person were only a few minutes to ten minutes.


    For a movie that was less than two hours long, it was already considered a lot to get ten plus minutes of screen time in a group film.


    However, Yon didn’t have a lot of scenes.


    There were so many roles, so Mingguan didn’t mind giving her one.


    However, he didn’t expect Yon to go for the role of Niannian.


    “Little Su, how’s your Englishing along?” Mingguan asked Yon. “I’m very confident in your acting skills. You’ll definitely have no problem acting as Luo Niannian.”


    Although he said that, Mingguan still felt that Yon’s role as Niannian wascking something.


    However, from Niannian’s age and character, he really couldn’t think of anyone more suitable than Yon.


    There were quite a few actors who fit Niannian’s age and character setting, but they were at most on the same level as Yon.


    If the scope was narrowed down to the film industry, then the candidates would be even fewer.


    Actors who had been acting in TV shows for many yearscked experience in acting in movies.


    The way a TV show was performed was very different from a movie.


    Thus, after much thought, Yon was indeed the most suitable candidate.


    That was why he did not reject CEO Yao.


    “Luo Niannian’s character is a female college student who has returned from studying abroad and can speak manynguages. It’s because of this that it’s convenient for her to use her position in the newspaper to find out all kinds of information and send it out in time.” Mingguan reminded her, “The othernguages are still alright. There are only a few lines. You just have to remember those lines. However, she has a lot of English dialogue, so I hope that your pronunciation can be as urate as possible.”


    Yon was stunned for a moment before she said, “Director Liu, Luo Niannian is a female university student in China. She’s more advanced in her thinking because of her education. Why has it been changed to her returning from overseas?” It was true that she had not prepared much for English. She felt that her pronunciation was not too bad. Besides, Niannian was set to go to a local university, so she did not have muchnguage exchange. Her pronunciation was not that urate, but it was still eptable.


    “I’ve discussed it with the screenwriter. We think that letting her return from overseas will make the character’s character and intent more distinct.” Mingguan exined, “It’s precisely because she had seen more outside at that time. She had seen a more prosperous and peaceful world. That was why she wanted toe back and fight for the country to get it out of the swamp. It would also further highlight her greatness and disy her magnanimity and selflessness. She could have been safer abroad, but she was willing toe back to fight for the people’s awakening and the liberation of the country.”


    “Compared to the original setting of female student who was simply educated and awakened, her personality is more distinct and her structure has also been significantly improved.” Mingguan said, “It’s precisely because she returned from studying abroad that it makes sense for her to master many foreignnguages. Her ent will also be purer.”


    “This is a movie. We won’t use any dubbing, not even the foreignnguage parts, so I hope you can practice your oral English well.” While Mingguan was speaking, the door was knocked a few times, and the waiter came in.


    The waiter walked to Mingguan and whispered something in his ear.


    Mingguan was surprised, but then his expression turned serious. He nodded and said to everyone, “I’m sorry, there are a few old friends here tonight. I’ll go over and say hello. I’ll be back in a while. You guys can eat first. Don’t hold back, and don’t stop eating just because you’re waiting for me.”


    “Please go ahead, Director Li,” Gu Fei said with a smile.


    Mingguan stood up and raised his hand to urge them enthusiastically and politely. “You guys can continue eating.”


    The few of them sent him off.


    After Mingguan left, Yon asked, “I wonder what kind of friend Director Li was talking about?”


    “How would we know?” Shuidong seemed to have casually blocked Yon’s words.


    He knew what Yon meant. She wanted to take the opportunity to get to know people.


    However, this eagerness for quick sess was a little too unsightly.


    Shuidong didn’t really like Yon. Their personalities didn’t match, so they couldn’t really get along.


    They had worked together in the past, and their rtionship was purely that of colleagues. They never contacted each other after filming.


    It was unlike him, Zhang Jian, and Jiang Xun, who would meet up from time to time after work and keep in touch as friends.


    He had wanted to introduce this movie to Jiang Xun, but he had heard that Haolun had already told Jiang Xun about it, so he did not mention it.


    Moreover, he had heard from Haolun that Jiang Xun was also interested in the role of Niannian.


    Shuidong felt that Jiang Xun was more suitable for the role of Niannian than Yon was.


    He just didn’t know how Jiang Xun’s English pronunciation was.


    ...


    Yon had been acting since she was young and had participated in all sorts of film festivals, so she had many opportunities to go abroad.


    Although her pronunciation wasn’t very good, she still had a better understanding of thenguage environment than Jiang Xun did.


    Jiang Xun grew up in Wenping Vige and was admitted to Beijing University with excellent results.


    She was a top student, but he had never heard her speak English.


    It wasn’t umon for top students to not speak English well.


    On this point, Jiang Xun was indeed at a disadvantage. She wasn’t as good as Yon.


    Thinking of this, Shuidong was dispirited.
