Jiang An smiled. “As long as you’re around, I’ll always become lazy.”
Wang Zhen laughed. “Isn’t this my role? If you weren’t lazy, 1 wouldn’t have a job!”
The ceremony took more than half an hour. After it ended, Zhao Bing and Jiang An chatted for a while before leaving.
Gu Sheng specially found Jiang An and said with a smile, “An’an, 1 was busy preparing for filming yesterday. 1 was really too busy, so I didn’t go to the airport to pick you up. It was already past io pm when I finished work. 1 was worried that you had already rested, so I couldn’t go over again. Please don’t take offense.”
Jiang An replied, “Director Gu, you’re too polite. 1 have enough manpower here. You don’t have to worry about me.”
When Gu Sheng heard Jiang An’s words, he said disapprovingly, “You have sufficient manpower because you’re well-prepared. My lack of etiquette is my problem.”
“In the future, if I do anything wrong on the set, please forgive me. If you have any objections or suggestions, just tell me. 1’11 definitely try my best to satisfy them!”
Half of the filming funds were already in place, and the remaining half was paid according to the filming process. Gu Sheng’s dream had already set sail, so he was afraid that Jiang An would be dissatisfied with something. If she was angry and complained to Jiang Huai, his dream would be ruined. That would be a huge blow.
Of course, Jiang An knew why Gu Sheng was so careful. Her eyes curved into crescents as she said helplessly, “On the set, I’m just a new actress. What suggestions can 1 have? You’re the director. You have the final say.”
“Also, don’t give me special treatment. This will make me feel uncomfortable. Just treat me as an ordinary actor. If 1 don’t act well, just say it. Don’t stand on ceremony. Don’t lower your standards for my performance just because my brother invested in it. 1 chose to do this because I like it. I hope to learn real acting.”
Jiang An said it very sincerely. Gu Sheng was skeptical when he saw this, but at least Jiang An’s attitude made him heave a sigh of relief. To be able to say this meant that Jiang An was not the kind of person who had the temper of a spoiled young lady. Putting aside her acting skills, just her work attitude made Gu Sheng feel that Jiang An really wanted to be an actress, not a celebrity.
Gu Sheng felt that he would treat Jiang An according to his previous filming standards first. If he realized that the other party was just saying those words, he would secretly go easy on her. “Alright, 1 won’t stand on ceremony then.” Jiang An recalled the character biography she had written recently. “Director Gu, 1 want to talk to you and the screenwriter. After I read the script, 1 wrote a character biography myself. 1 want to discuss the character of the female lead, Gan Lan, with you.”
In the past, in the entertainment industry, most actors with a lot of scenes would write a biography about their characters after reading the script. But now, only some old actors still retained this habit. The new young actors, regardless of how many scenes they had, all wished they could start filming before reading the script, let alone figure out their lines.
When everyone was reading the script, the screenwriter and director would tell everyone the characteristics of each character, the chain reaction caused by major events, instead of letting each actor get into character through their own thoughts and understandings of the character.
Gu Sheng did not expect an actress like Jiang An to have such an awareness. He looked at Jiang An in surprise. “You’ve already written it?”
Jiang An smiled and nodded. “It’s my first time writing one, so 1 don’t know how well I wrote. 1 wrote wherever I could, so I wanted to discuss with you if my understanding of Gan Lan is correct.”
Gu Sheng smiled in surprise. “Of course! Filming will only start in the afternoon. There’s a little time now. I’ll call Screenwriter Cao over and we’ll have a chat.”
Seeing this, Jiang An suggested, “Then let’s talk in my vehicle.”
Gu Sheng had no objections. He called the screenwriter and followed Jiang An into the vehicle with Wang Zhen following behind.
To put it nicely, Wang Zhen’s position was an assistant, but to put it bluntly, she was just a handyman. The nanny only needed to do housework, and the artiste’s assistant could be said to have many roles. However, this was an excellent path to becoming a manager. However, to be able to really become a manager could be considered to have crossed a sacred bridge.
Screenwriter Cao arrived. After the three of them sat down, Wang Zhen served tea and prepared fruits.
Jiang An briefly introduced Wang Zhen. “This is my assistant, Wang Zhen..”
