The assistant director was panting, but still did not forget to explain the situation.
After all, this matter is not of a serious nature, it is also related to the subsequent filming.
Guan Dao was already filled with anger, so his expression became even worse now. With a sullen face, he said coldly:
"what happened?"
The assistant director didn't dare to hide anything and quickly told what happened when he just received the news:
"I was told that I was in a car accident when I came here just now. I'm still lying on the hospital bed. I won't be able to get better in a short time."
It won't get better in a short time.
Compared with the previous summary of events, this last sentence can be said to have blocked the way back, killing even the last glimmer of hope.
You must know that the actors in the crew are auditioned one by one and selected by the director himself.
This process alone is time-consuming and laborious, and it takes a lot of time.
But Director Guan was still meticulous, and there was nothing sloppy about casting.
Something like this might happen temporarily——
Although natural and man-made disasters are unavoidable, they are still enough to make people sad.
Knowing that it would be unpleasant to say such news, the assistant director still had to bite the bullet and finish the sentence:
"So what they're saying is, let's find someone else."
"Looking for someone else?"
Director Guan raised his voice and said angrily:
"Where can I look for you now?"
Director Guan looked unhappy.
But he also knew that the matter was a done deal.
No matter how angry he was, he couldn't go back in time and prevent the car accident from happening.
Moreover, the actor who has been injured for a hundred days and is currently lying in the hospital cannot recover without any reason.
Even though he had no choice but to accept this reality, he sighed softly:
"well."
Guan Yelin's face was filled with sadness.
When I was at a loss what to do, I suddenly thought of a rumor I had heard before.
So he quickly asked someone to find Guan Yelin:
"Brother Huo! I heard that your daughter has been found?"
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Although the Huo family kept Qin Yawei's affairs a secret, some news came out.
Originally, Guan Yelin didn't want to trouble his good brother with this matter, but when things developed to this point, he had to make other plans.
"Um."
Huo Yelin responded in a calm voice, obviously unwilling to mention this matter more.
Director Guan's face froze, knowing that things might not go so smoothly, but he still asked:
"Um...how is your relationship between father and daughter?"
Director Guan hesitated to speak, even finding it difficult to speak, but Huo Yelin was not an ordinary person. Instead of answering his question, he glanced at him with a burning gaze and said bluntly:
"Speak directly if you have something to say."
Four concise words.
The friendship between them is far more than can be explained in a few words.
How could Guan Yelin not know this? According to the friendship between the two of them, he did not need to hide like this when he encountered difficulties.
Looking at the frank look on Huo's actor's face, Director Guan simply stopped hiding it, told him about the difficulties encountered by the crew, and then expressed his own thoughts:
"After all, I'm playing the role of your daughter. No matter how good someone else is at it, it's still far less realistic than a biological daughter. Besides, you and your daughter haven't seen each other for so many years, so we just took this opportunity to cultivate a relationship."
As Director Guan spoke, he observed Huo Yelin's face. Seeing that he did not show any particular resistance, he put the request on the table and said:
"So I was thinking... how about letting Ling Qianjin make a guest appearance? Help me to deal with an emergency. I wonder what do you think, Brother Huo?"
Director Guan looked at Huo Yelin with hope, thinking that the other party would not refuse, and he didn't want to be disobedient.
"I also want to promise you, but I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
Huo Yelin smiled bitterly.
Due to the relationship between the two of them, if Guan Dao needs help, he is obliged to do so.
But in the current situation, he can't just agree rashly. After all...
"To tell you the truth, my daughter fell off a cliff a few days ago and was injured. She is still paralyzed in bed."
After all, family scandals should not be made public. Huo Yelin did not mention that Qin Yawei was pregnant and was not suitable for filming, but simply said a few words about her situation:
"Not to mention that it's not cured yet, but even if it is cured, I'm afraid she won't be able to walk normally during our filming."
Huo Yelin looked calm, and there was no trace of fatherly distress or pity on his face.
Just stating an indisputable fact from the perspective of a bystander.
Director Guan thought about many reasons why Huo Yelin might refuse, but he never thought it would be like this.
Fall off a cliff, paralyzed!
No wonder I have long heard that the direct granddaughter of the Huo family has been found, but there has been no further information.
It turns out that such an episode happened.
This is indeed not suitable for hosting a recognition dinner.
If we really want to hold it rashly, I'm afraid that the daughter of the Huo family, who is not very lucky, will not be able to withstand these blessings and will die.
As directors, most of them have superstitious habits, and Guan Yelin is no exception. When he heard that the daughter of the Huo family had such things, his first reaction was to think about numerology.
After thinking about it, an unspeakable feeling of guilt swept over me.
He said to Huo Yelin with a look of embarrassment:
"Is there such a thing? You should have told me earlier... Look, I don't know anything..."
And he rashly made such a demanding request.
Guan Yelin was truly sorry. From beginning to end, he never doubted whether this was Huo Yelin's excuse for refusing.
Because he knew that unless it was true, no father would curse his child like this.
Compared to the apologetic embarrassment that he had stepped on a minefield, Guan Yelin was quite open-minded.
He shook his head and said quietly:
"It's nothing. She brought it upon herself to be in this situation. Even as her father, I still think that her fall is not a bad thing. I just hope that she will not make the same mistakes again and cause trouble in the future."
Otherwise, even if she was lucky enough to save her life this time, I'm afraid even the Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save her next time.
Huo Yelin did not say the next words.
But from reading between the lines, Director Guan could clearly feel that Huo Yelin didn't have a good impression of this daughter, so...
He couldn't say anything more, so he could only give up the idea with a little regret and said to his friend:
"Although my strength is not as strong as that of the Huo family, I have accumulated some connections over the years. If you need any help, just ask. As long as I can help, I will not shirk it."
Friendship between men.
Sometimes it's that simple.
There is no need to say too many nice words, but whenever a brother is in trouble, he must do so without hesitation and show the utmost sincerity.
Huo Yelin obviously understood what he meant.
He nodded and did not refuse.
After a few seconds, he suddenly spoke:
"You don't have to worry, things can always be solved. I will also ask someone to help you with the vacant actor candidates."
Not to mention that there must be a suitable candidate.
But after all, there are many possibilities for many people.
Knowing that actors are hard to come by, it is very rare that Huo Yelin could still abide by the agreement to star in "The Wasteland" and help him find a suitable actor at such a desperate time.
Director Guan didn't push him too much. After nodding slightly, he patted his shoulder and thanked him:
"Thank you in advance. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
After Director Guan finished speaking, he didn't waste any time. He called for the assistant director and asked him to see if any of the actors who had come to audition for the hero's daughter in "The Wasteland" had any schedules.
Organize the information and send him a copy.
Although the candidates who were eliminated were all not in line with his expectations, there was no other choice at the moment.
Director Guan sighed in disappointment again.
Seeing him like this, the assistant director thought about what he heard when he came here just now, and he couldn't help but hesitate to speak and said to the director:
"Director Guan... If you really don't have a good candidate, I have a suggestion here. I don't know if you agree with it..."
