Chapter 190 The Story
Chu Weilan nodded clearly.
Five minutes later, they arrived at Chen Anzhi's office. Chu Weilan knocked on the door politely, and soon Chen Anzhi came to open the door.
"Director Chen." Chu Weilan smiled brilliantly.
"Here you..." He just said two words and saw Ji Yanzheng beside Chu Weilan. His eyebrows immediately beat, but Director Chen has deserved to have seen big scenes. He smiled quietly, "President Ji is here too."
"Yeah." Ji Yanzheng responded lightly, held the woman's hand and walked in.
The sentence in Chen Anzhi's throat, "Why don't you go to the next door and wait for a while" had to swallow it. He laughed and called out, "Please sit down. Weilan and come with me."
"Okay." Chu Weilan responded, broke free and signaled the man to let go.
But Ji Yanzheng held it tighter and said coldly, "Just talk here on the sofa."
Chu Weilan was speechless. She was very worried that Chen Anzhi would pass her away because of this.
Could it be that Chen Anzhi proposed to let her go to his house that day, so the man had a cautious attack and had to watch them with his own eyes to relieve himself?
However, Chen Anzhi's cultivation was obviously much better than she expected. He smiled slightly: "Okay, please sit down, two of you."
Chen Anzhi walked to the desk, walked over with the information, and sat down opposite the two of them.
He was about to speak, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the hands that were shaking between the two.
Chu Weilan seemed to feel it. She struggled awkwardly for a moment and couldn't break free.
Chen Anzhi immediately withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "I'll tell you this story first."
Chen Anzhi is a rare director who can balance business and artistic pursuits, so in his movies, he can see both insights and thinking about human nature and rich and exciting plots.
The same is true for his new film. The type of story is suspense, but it also explores the alienation of people in modern society, and the plot and theme complement each other.
"You play An Ran, a woman who is forced into a desperate situation by pressure. She takes risks and commits crimes. It seems to have destroyed human nature, but it retains a trace of conscience." Chen Anzhi said, putting the script on the coffee table. "This is a very complicated character, no matter which actor, it is a big challenge."
Chu Weilan was already attracted by this story. She pulled her hand out--this time, the man did not stop it--he picked up the script, turned to a certain page, and muttered something.
"Can I try it?" She looked at Chen Anzhi eagerly.
Chen Anzhi nodded slightly: "Of course."
Chu Weilan smiled, immediately lowered her head to read the script, wrote down a few lines, and then closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, her temperament had completely changed.
"He must die." Chu Weilan spoke, "Listen, when things have come to this point, he must die."
Her voice was low, with almost no ups and downs, her face was cold as ice, and every subtle expression on her face was strong and impatient.
Seeing this, Chen Anzhi cooperated with her to recite the line: "No, I can't, that's... a murder!"
"You have no choice." She suddenly raised her voice, her eyebrows were beating violently, and she showed a nervous smile, "Only dead people can keep the secret! Otherwise we will all be done!"
Her tone became even more intense, but hidden under this strength was the fear of being on the verge of despair. She seemed aggressive, but in fact, she was like a drowning person, crying for help desperately, as if she wanted someone to stop her.
Chen Anzhi continued to recite the lines: "I...I can't..."
Chu Weilan looked at him and seemed to shivering hard.
The redemption she was waiting for never appeared, so she finally had to take this step.
"Okay, then I'll do it." She opened her eyes wide and spitted out these words, and her smile floated on her face like a mask. It seemed that while she said this, she finally killed herself.
...
Ji Yanzheng sat next to her, his black eyes staring at her for a moment, as if he refused to miss any of her micro-expressions.
This was the first time he saw Chu Weilan getting involved.
He never thought that this woman who was heartless and seemingly careless would show such amazing charm during the performance. That charm has nothing to do with the character itself, but is related to the huge contrast she showed. At this moment, she seemed to abandon herself and completely put herself into the role, and at the same time formed a huge vortex, allowing the audience to unconsciously enter the show and feel her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Ji Yanzheng's pupils had unknowingly contracted to the extreme, and his eyes were stained with a little hotness.
This scene was only one minute short, and for Chen Anzhi, he had seen what he wanted to see.
"It's OK." He laughed.
Chu Weilan blinked a little confusedly, and it took a while for Qingming to recover.
"Do you think it's OK?" Chu Weilan smiled a little shyly. If it weren't for the same appearance and outfit, no one could compare her with the "An Ran" who was on the verge of despair just now.
"Yes." Chen Anzhi smiled with emotion, "In a short time, you have appreciated the essence of this character. Although the performance is still a bit rough,... this character belongs to you, Wei Lan."
"Really?" Chu Weilan was excited and turned her head to look at Ji Yanzheng, with a very bright smile, "Yan Zheng, did you hear it?"
The man's black eyes seemed to be bottomless. His Adam's apple slid, grabbed her hand, and his voice was mute: "Well, congratulations."
Chu Weilan was immersed in excitement and did not realize the unusual burning heat of the man's hand.
"Director Chen, I'm really so happy!" She turned her eyes to Chen Anzhi again, "But I hope your decision has not been affected by other factors."
Chen Anzhi knew what she meant. He glanced at Ji Yanzheng, then smiled and said, "Of course not. I just promised Mr. Ji to give you a chance. If your performance cannot satisfy me, even if Mr. Ji uses his power to suppress others, I will not compromise."
Ji Yanzheng smiled unanimously.
Chu Weilan felt a little embarrassed: "Don't worry, I will work hard."
"You get one copy of the script first." Chen Anzhi pushed the script in front of her, "I will adjust it, but it won't be greatly changed. The shooting date is tentatively April next year, and there are still three months left. You should have a free time at that time."
"Of course." Chu Weilan nodded.
"The Legend of Xi Ning" will be completed in about a month, and she will have time to study the script.
"Let's get here today." Chen Anzhi said tactfully, "Let's contact again."
"Okay, thank you Director Chen!" Chu Weilan stretched out his hand at him with a happy look on his face, intending to shake his hand.
