Lu Zhen nodded. “You have a point.”
“But if He Hong has always liked your father unilaterally, then the situation is hard to say. She hasn’t gotten married all these years, so I don’t know what she’s thinking. But you don’t have to care about her. You’re your father’s daughter. She can’t snatch your father away. In addition, it’s not convenient for her to stay by your father’s side all the time. She’ll leave soon.”
Jiang Nan’s prediction was indeed accurate. He Hong would be returning to the Jiang family soon. Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that after chatting with Jiang Nan, the gloominess in her heart dissipated.
“I thought I was too petty and couldn’t bear to see others share my father’s concern with me, but I didn’t know who to tell about this. I’m really disturbing you,” Lu Zhen said embarrassedly.
“It’s fine. Just contact me if you need anything.”
Closing her cell phone, Lu Zhen calmed down a lot. She casually took a literary criticism book from the bookshelf and was about to open it to read when her phone rang. After picking up the video call, Ye Xuan said, “There’s a character in the movie Orel is filming. Take a look and see if you’re interested.”
Lu Zhen was stunned for a few seconds before she digested this information.
“Orel?” Lu Zhen recalled for a few seconds. “Is it that musical?”
“Yes, I’ve sent you the information. Read it, the consider it as soon as possible. This opportunity is very rare,” Ye Xuan hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, “Originally, Guan Yun could have taken this role directly, but she entered Samir’s production team, and she didn’t fancy this small role.
Moreover, this role isn’t likable. See if you can accept it.”
Lu Zhen received the information sent by Ye Xuan. Orel was not a great director. He had made a few commercial movies with mediocre responses. Later, he directed a sequel to a superhero film series before being noticed by many audiences.
However, this was not because he was so talented. It was entirely because of the IP of Superhero.
When Lu Zhen was browsing through information about the international film industry, she saw that Orel had been filming a musical recently. However, this had nothing to do with her, so she did not pay attention to it at that time.
Lu Zhen’s memory was not bad. As soon as Ye Xuan mentioned Orel to her, she recalled it. She just did not know the exact situation of the movie Orel was
filming. She began to browse the information Ye Xuan had sent.
The role that Lu Zhen could choose was an oriental-looking dancer. This dancer had sneaked overseas in her early years and relied on her ersatz exoticism to stay in the nightclub for a period of time. However, she was quickly replaced by newbies.
When she saw the female lead, who is a newcomer, dance to the classic songs she had performed before and achieve great success, the dancer felt extremely unbalanced. Driven by jealousy, she made up fake evidence to frame the female lead. After the female lead cleared her name, she was also punished.
In short, this was a relatively simple character. The scenes were not very important, and there were no highlights at all.
No wonder Guan Yun didn’t like this role. If a local director found Lu Zhen, Lu Zhen would never consider such a role.
However, it was different in China and abroad. Although Orel was not a famous director and the role was not good, Lu Zhen did not have much chance to go overseas now. She could only start from some small roles.
Of course, the disadvantages of playing such a role were obvious. To an actor, starting points were very important. If some actors acted in the works of a famous director from the beginning, their net worth and status would be on a higher level.
If an actor kept acting as a minor character, the audience might think that he was a minor actor and did not have the “protagonist’s fate”. If there was a
choice, who wouldn’t want to be chosen by a big director and play a good role?
While Lu Zhen was checking the information, Ye Xuan also said, “Although the quality of this movie is not bad, this role is indeed not good. You can reject it. We can wait for another opportunity.”
Ye Xuan specially added this sentence, which meant that she knew that this role was an opportunity, but it was really not a good opportunity. Even if Lu Zhen rejected this role, Ye Xuan would respect her choice.
Lu Zhen looked up and was silent for two seconds before saying, “Accept it. Find me another dance teacher.’
. Okay.” Ye Xuan looked into Lu Zhen’s eyes. After a moment, she said, “There will be a better opportunity in the future.”
Lu Zhen couldn’t help but laugh.. Was Ye Xuan comforting her?
