376: Xu Lu: This is our second time pairing up, Long'er, nice to meet you! Liu Yifei: Okay, Guo'er
"Xu Lu, you called me back from the Imperial Capital. Is it really like you said on the phone, that you're giving me a lead role? Because I'm taking you seriously!"
In the office, Reba said with some anticipation.
Originally, she was in the Imperial Capital, seeing if she could participate in any variety shows.
Unexpectedly, Boss Yang called her back, saying that Xu Lu had a role for her to play, so she didn't need to wait in the Imperial Capital for any variety shows.
When Reba contacted Xu Lu herself, Xu Lu said on the phone that he would give her a Female Protagonist role, and if she wasn't willing, then forget it.
When Reba heard that, how could she just forget it? She immediately bought a ticket from the Imperial Capital and flew back to Hong City excitedly.
However, before coming to find Xu Lu, she first watched to live with her best friend, and only then did she come to Xu Lu's side.
Hearing Reba's words, Xu Lu smiled and handed over a script directly, saying:
"You'll know if I'm bluffing you once you read it yourself."
Reba took the script, and after reading for a while, she said excitedly:
"Fang Hui? You're letting me play Fang Hui, the Female Protagonist in this 'fleet of time'?!
Lu Xu, you finally fulfilled your promise to give me a Female Protagonist role a long time ago..."
However, before Reba could finish speaking, Xu Lu quickly said:
"Wait a moment, wrong, wrong!"
"What's wrong? You just said you'd give me the Female Protagonist role, and you're already going back on your word so soon?"
Reba was a little unhappy.
Xu Lu covered his forehead, picked out another script from the two placed beside the desk, and handed it over again, saying angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I someone who goes back on their word? The script I gave you was wrong.
It's not 'fleet of time', it's this 'my old classmate', the Female Protagonist 'Zhu Xiaozhi'.
Take a look and see if you can handle it? If you can't, I'll have to find someone else to play it!"
Reba, who took the script again, first glanced at the content and confirmed that the Female Protagonist was indeed 'Zhu Xiaozhi' as Xu Lu had said. Only then did she realize that he wasn't playing a trick on her.
She immediately beamed with joy, hugging the script to her chest and nodding repeatedly, saying:
"Of course I can handle it. I'll take on this Female Protagonist role, and there's no way I'll give it to anyone else."
"Only a fool would give it away, this is a Female Protagonist role!"
Reba muttered softly.
But soon, she remembered the 'fleet of time' she had just seen, and asked curiously again:
"Xu Lu, was that script just now also a movie your company is going to make? Making two youth campus dramas at once? Oh, and the Male Lead of 'fleet of time', it wouldn't be you, would it?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Lu shook his head and said:
"You guessed both questions wrong.
In fact, Da Xu Culture is going to shoot more than two youth campus dramas next, to be precise, three.
Besides the 'fleet of time' you just saw and 'my old classmate' in your hand, there's another one.
For the second question, I won't be playing the Male Lead of 'fleet of time', it will be played by another artist from the company named Eddie Peng, and the Female Lead is also chosen separately..."
"That's good!"
For some reason, Reba said that.
But soon, she heard Xu Lu suddenly say from across:
"Besides playing the Male Lead in 'my old classmate', I will also be the Male Lead in another play."
"What?"
Reba exclaimed at once.
She only got to play the Female Protagonist in one play, but this guy Xu Lu was going to play the Male Lead in two plays. Didn't that mean he would be forming a couple with someone else in another play?
"What 'what'? Why are you yelling inexplicably, girl?"
Xu Lu glared at her, annoyed.
Reba suddenly felt a little guilty and said:
"Nothing, I was just a little surprised, it's no big deal!"
In fact, her heart was already itching like a cat's paw, and she really wanted to know who the Female Protagonist of the other play would be.
However, Xu Lu at this moment seemed to have skipped this question, with no intention of continuing to talk about it.
This left Reba looking conflicted.
"Then why are you still lingering here? I've given you the script, filming starts in two days, hurry back and immerse yourself in the role, and you need to quickly memorize your lines. Counting numbers is not allowed in my crew, you know!"
Xu Lu looked at Reba, who was standing there dumbfounded, and reminded her.
"Who's counting numbers? I'm not that kind of Actor who counts numbers.
Just you wait, I will definitely play this role well and won't embarrass you!"
Provoked by Xu Lu, Reba immediately forgot her earlier thoughts. After saying something angrily, she quickly turned and left.
Watching Reba slam the door and leave, Xu Lu smiled.
After thinking for a moment, he made another phone call.
About half an hour later, the office door was gently knocked, and a beautiful figure quickly appeared:
"President Xu, you were looking for me?"
Xu Lu nodded and smiled, motioning:
"That's right! Yifei, come, come, come and sit. How's the acting going over at 'know so well' recently? Are you adapting?"
"It's going well, but my scenes are almost finished, so I have a lot of free time!"
Liu Yifei said with a sweet smile.
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"I know your situation over there, and I know you have a lot of free time, so I have a role here, wondering if you'd like to play it?
Here, take a look at the script first. The character is 'Shen Jiayi' in it."
As he spoke, Xu Lu handed the script to her.
"those years We Chased the Girl?"
Liu Yifei glanced at the script and softly read out the title of the script.
Then, she quickly saw the character of Shen Jiayi and raised her head with a surprised expression:
"President Xu, is Shen Jiayi the Female Protagonist?"
"That's right! She's the Female Protagonist, and I personally think this role is quite suitable for you.
Moreover, you debuted as the Female Protagonist of the return of the condor heroes, and you've had experience in 'know so well'. It would be too demeaning to play a supporting role now."
Xu Lu said directly.
Hearing this, Liu Yifei felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
She had always thought the company had forgotten about her, but unexpectedly, a Female Protagonist role in a movie suddenly landed on her.
This feeling was exactly the same as when she suddenly heard that she was suitable to appear as the Female Protagonist in the return of the condor heroes.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Liu Yifei quickly read the script again, and finally nodded, saying:
"President Xu, I'll listen to you."
"Alright then, the role of Shen Jiayi is yours. Take the script back and thoroughly study the character; filming starts in a few days!"
Xu Lu said with a smile.
"Mhm!"
Liu Yifei nodded obediently, then suddenly asked an extra question, saying:
"President Xu, can I know who will be playing the Male Lead in this movie?"
"I'll be playing the Male Lead. Speaking of which, this movie will be our second time forming a couple, Little Dragon Girl, please give me more guidance then!"
Towards the end, Xu Lu casually made a joke.
Liu Yifei's pretty face immediately flushed upon hearing this.
However, as she turned to leave, she inexplicably whispered a reply:
"Okay, Yang Guo!"
