Chapter 112: Chapter 109: Xian Jie’s Ex-boyfriend
Sister Ling gave her a disdainful look:
“Look how anxious you are, just let me finish. It’s a movie related to the protection of wild animals, but the filming conditions in that environment are extremely tough.
Also, it might take several months to shoot, and the pay isn’t great. Director Li Xun is well-known in the industry for detesting star’s exorbitant fees. He only hopes to spend the budget on the shooting, so—”
Sister Ling spread her hands and looked at her: “We’ve always been focused on good resources and higher pay at the same time, so I didn’t even consider this for you. The position has already been taken by another actress.”
As these words reached her ears, Wen Xian felt like she had been struck by a thunderbolt, almost spitting out a mouthful of aged blood.
Why treat her this way!
If it had been before, Sister Ling would not have been wrong. As someone who cared so much about benefits, she wouldn’t have cared about some not-so-profitable artsy script.
She just wanted to make money. Her past poverty and darkness had made her feel that only money could offer her the greatest sense of security.
So she endlessly pursued it without an end in sight, but now, after returning from Qinghai, she had thought about a lot more.
It wasn’t just because of him in Qinghai, but also because the Uninhabited Area was full of untold hardships, many of which were unknown to those living in the glamorous big cities.
And these burdens were borne by those living under harsh conditions, bravely taking on the tasks, even in the face of danger, but still rescuing without hesitation.
Therefore, she wanted to act in movies or variety shows about the west, actively promote the protection of the environment and animals in the west, and let more people know about the silent contributions and struggles of many people like Lu Xiao, with all their difficulties and bitterness.
If she hadn’t met Lu Xiao in Qinghai, she wouldn’t have changed and wouldn’t have cared.
But now, everything had changed.
When Wen Xian spoke again, her gaze settled on the carefully arranged sunflower and Gesang Flower bouquet, and she said earnestly:
“Sister Ling, help me think of a way. No matter what, I have to land this movie. The money doesn’t matter, I am even willing to forgo any payment.”
Upon hearing this, Sister Ling was dumbfounded. “What’s gotten into you? Have you had a change of heart to become a saint, or did some wild man from Qinghai hook you?”
Wen Xian immediately gritted her teeth: “…”
Why guess so accurately!
Seeing her drink and use it as a cover, Sister Ling instantly guessed more or less what was happening and sighed softly:
“No matter what, you’re too high-profile. If you want to protect yourself, you have to keep a low profile. Besides, there’s still some time before Director Li Xun starts shooting his movie. I’ll do my best to fight for it for you.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian immediately hugged her arm, smiling with gratitude: “Sister Ling, I love you to death.”
“You should, you should. Who else would put up with you? But let me say the ugly part upfront. The role is set, and the film’s producer is Dongyuan’s bigwig, Cheng Dongyuan.
The female lead Cheng Feiyu is his sister. It won’t be easy to win over, so if you want this role, you’ll definitely have to talk to Cheng Dongyuan personally.”
At Sister Ling’s words, the smile at the corner of Wen Xian’s lips immediately stiffened a bit.
“What’s the matter? Is it awkward because he’s your ex-boyfriend?”
