Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 106 Hepburn Returns

Xue Zhe and Yang Fang ended their overseas trip ahead of schedule, and Cai Ning also decided to go home.

This afternoon, the clouds in the sky flowed slowly, and there were dots of frame-shaped gaps at the edges, like a long strip of huge film. Under the care of the sun, it seemed to be showing a natural movie.

Caining went to the Blue Ocean International Shopping Plaza to buy some gifts to take back to her hometown, and a poster recruiting actors in front of the plaza attracted her deeply.

Recruitment requirements: females with handsome appearance, height of 1 meters and above, and aged 63-28 can apply.

Cai Ning was delighted, she had dreamed of being a movie star since she was a child, this was really a rare opportunity, she took the bus to Blue Ocean Films full of confidence.

Caining came to Blue Ocean Films but found it deserted. At the registration office, a middle-aged woman in her 50s received her: "Are you here to register?"

"Yes." Cai Ning's expression was dignified, like a student standing in front of a teacher.

After looking at Cai Ning carefully, she seemed to have found hope: "What's your name, where are you from?"

Caining said generously in Mandarin: "My name is Lin Caining, 33 years old, from Wutong County, Qingchuan Province, and I work in Blue Ocean New Century Department Store. Do you think I can apply?"

"Caining, you have a pretty face, your sentimental eyes reveal a strong expression, and your manner is elegant, and your figure is slim, which fully meets our requirements."

After hearing this, Caining was deeply grateful: "Thank you for your appreciation, what should I call you?"

"I'm the assistant director of Blue Ocean Films. I'm in charge of the recruitment of actors. You can call me Sister Liu. I want to know more about your experience." Assistant director Liu said kindly, looking at Caining.

Caining recalled the past:

"Being a film actor is an ideal in my life. However, it is not an easy task after all. I originally wanted to pass the film school, so that I could have more opportunities. What surprised me was that I was in the second year of high school. , My stepfather asked me to drop out of school, and my ideals also turned into dust of memory and went away with the wind.

Three years later, he buried my pure love for a generous bride price. Even though I was in a lot of sorrow, but in order to repay his kindness in nurturing, I had to make this seemingly kind choice.

After I got married, I abided by my duties, but my husband regarded me as her accessory, and often trampled on my personality and dignity. For the sake of my daughter, I have been enduring it all the time. Tears toss and turn to soothe the long night, but I still face every dawn firmly, because
Because I am a role model for my daughter, I cannot let my fragility affect her.

Later, my husband often spent time outside, and I patiently persuaded him, but my efforts were worthless to him. After seven years of marriage, he proposed to divorce me, but I still tried my best to keep him. I just want to give my daughter a complete family , but he firmly disagreed. When I received that cold and warm divorce certificate, although I lost my family, I was finally free. "

After hearing this, Director Liu was very moved: "Caining, I sympathize with your experience, and your story has many similarities with the script. You will sign a contract at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, but the salary is not high. Our company has There is no longer the glory of the past, so we only recruit people to be the protagonists, in order to save the cost of the film, and if the box office is high in the future, the actors can also be paid a commission, the box office is not high, and the company has no great loss."

"Director Liu, I can understand you. I don't need any salary. As long as I can realize my dream and try my best to touch every audience with a sincere performance, I will be very content."

Cai Ning's sincere words made Deputy Director Liu feel very pleased: "You are really a pure and kind woman, I wish you success!"

The hands of the two were tightly held together, and Cai Ning felt that Deputy Director Liu's hand was particularly warm, as if the sun's affection for Mulan, it meant not only warmth, but also anticipation.

Caining was in a very happy mood on the way back. She finally came to an end. Not only was she and Jinlin going to marry each other, but her long-awaited dream also came true. She was so lucky. She couldn't help saying: "Hepburn, My great idol!"

At eight o'clock the next morning, Caining came to Blue Ocean Film Company as scheduled.

Deputy Director Liu said to her: "Caining, follow me to see Director Zeng."

Director Zeng was very happy after seeing Cai Ning: "It seems that our company has a hopeful turnaround! This is a contract. You can learn more about the script from Director Liu later. If you think it is suitable, sign the contract."

"Okay, Director Zeng." Cai Ning said with a smile.

In Director Liu's office, Cai Ning read the script in detail. The story is about a woman from a mountain village who was abandoned by her husband and went to work in a big city, and finally succeeded in starting her own career.

Cai Ning saw that there was no leading actor in the play, and there was no plot and scene of intimacy between men and women, so she happily signed her name.At the moment she signed, the sun seemed to be paying attention to her deliberately, and the orange rays converged on her name, making "Lin Caining" gilded.

After Cai Ning signed the contract, Assistant Director Liu's eyes were full of hope: "Cai Ning, you go back and prepare first, we will start shooting next Monday, during the shooting, in order to get a better picture, you live in the crew, is there any difficulty? "

"Of course, I have no difficulty."

"Okay, that's it." Assistant Director Liu said.

Monday is here, and the filming of the movie "Becoming a Phoenix" started as scheduled. Cai Ning memorized the script while filming. Due to her own personal experience and sincere and simple performance, basically every plot was completed in one go. Director Zeng and Assistant Director Liu are really devoted to her The performance was amazing.

Two months later, halfway through the filming of the script, during the filming break, director Zeng said to Cai Ning alone: ​​"Can you try a bolder performance in the play? For example..."

Cai Ning was deeply embarrassed: "Director Zeng, is there no such item in the contract?"

"I know, I want to make the movie more artistic."

"Director Zeng, I'm not a real actor, and I'm also very conservative. I signed the contract because I saw that there was no such open content in the script."

Director Zeng said to her very realistically: "Actually, I want to attract more audiences, and it's also for the benefit of the company. Since you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Director Zeng left with great disappointment. Caining had many thoughts in her heart. She felt deeply sorry for Director Zeng. This movie is for purity, just like Hepburn, using kindness and purity instead of relying on sexiness to win the hearts of the audience.

Cai Ning was about to go to Director Zeng to explain her feelings, but she bumped into him.

Cai Ning said to him with special reverence: "Hello, Director Zeng, I think this movie itself is born for purity. If some other factors are added, wouldn't it be a kind of harm to the protagonist?"

Director Zeng originally wanted to continue persuading Caining, but felt that her words made sense: "Caining, your idea is very good, then do as you say."

After hearing this, Cai Ning bowed deeply to Director Zeng gratefully: "Thank you, Director Zeng."

A month later, because I was going to film in a nearby mountain village, I took two days off for the actors and crew to rest first.

On the first day of the holiday, Caining went to the Blue Ocean Park to relax, but met Jinlin unexpectedly. However, after seeing Caining, Jinlin seemed to meet a stranger. He only took one look at her and then left her.

Caining couldn't believe her eyes and feelings: Jinlin, what's wrong with me?Did you not recognize me?Why don't you even have a simple greeting? You should already know the truth of the matter, but you are so cold and heartless. Could it be that I am like a colorless cloud to you, no longer your pure and flawless memory, but plain and ordinary? Passing by, you made this orchid born for you become haggard for a moment, and let her return to the dazed state of being at a loss.

Caining's sad eyes are like silver threads contained in spring water. They are thousands of threads of love that cannot be broken, and even more indistinguishable confusion. She really wants to catch up and ask to understand, but she sees Love is intimidating, because she once said that to love someone is to respect his choice, and she must do it herself.

Cai Ning sat exhaustedly on a bench in the park, worried in her heart: It seems that Jin Lin no longer loves me, maybe he has waited enough and lost confidence, maybe our true love has fulfilled the wishes of resentment, and the scars are already scarred. A little bit, things and people are not...

Caining sadly walked slowly towards the Huxin Pavilion. When she came to the corridor in front of the pavilion, she saw Jinlin with her back facing her, chatting with a woman face to face with a smile on her face. On the wooden chair in the pavilion, I overheard their sweet talk.

"It's been so many years, and you're still so young and beautiful." Jin Lin said with a smile.

"Your gentlemanly demeanor has added a kind of sentimental charm. This time I came to Lanhai from England not just to see me, right?"

"Xu Qing said that there is a particularly important document that needs to be signed by me, the person in charge, so she rushed back yesterday. After signing the document, she said to me again, you are in the blue sea, so I want to see you. Have a good time these years Is it?" Jin Lin said.

"You gave me so much money, how can you have a bad life?"

"I am responsible for your youth. If you have any difficulties in life in the future, just tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

Caining couldn't believe what she heard, and was sensitively suffering from the double torment of insult and despair. It was the ruthless annihilation of true feelings, and she gently left the park with fresh air.
