Chapter 227 She has to do it
After Xia Qingqian finished speaking, Ning You seemed to be petrified, standing there with his mouth half open.
This famous and talented director, who has always been eloquent, sharp-tongued and has never suffered any loss, seemed to be the first time that he was left speechless. And the instigator still looked serious, with a pair of lively big eyes moving around, looking extremely cunning.
Xia Qingqian looked at Ning You's expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
While laughing, he asked, "Director Ning, I'm sorry, I really can't help it. You don't really believe what I just said, do you~"
Ning You then realized that she was joking.
He stood up from the sofa and said, "Xiao Qianqian, you have learned bad things from someone."
Xia Qingqian stuck out her tongue mischievously.
At this time, Ji Fengfan returned from the meeting.
He had walked in briskly, but when he saw Ning You there, he subconsciously frowned slightly.
Ning You looked at his changing expression and shouted, "What do you mean, don't you want to see me?"
"I'm glad to know." Ji Fengfan replied indifferently, then walked over and sat down next to Xia Qingqian.
Ning You was rebellious and sat down as well, crossing his legs. "I won't leave. I just like to see you being unhappy but unable to do anything about it."
Ji Fengfan lazily raised his eyelids and glanced over.
He asked calmly, "Are you sure I can't do anything to you?"
Ning You stopped all of a sudden.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you." Then he turned to Xia Qingqian and said, "Xiao Qianqian, look, this is your man. He only knows how to threaten others."
Xia Qingqian tilted her head, "Did he threaten you?"
After saying that, he did not forget to blink and looked at Ning You with an innocent face.
Ning You waved his hand and said, "Come on, I am too naive. You are obviously in the same group."
Xia Qingqian couldn't help but grin again.
Director Ning was so funny that she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.
Seeing how happy she was, Ji Fengfan's expression towards Ning You finally softened a little, but he still couldn't help but start to chase her away.
"What do you want from me?"
Ning You clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot about the important matter."
He adjusted his sitting posture and looked more serious. "What about the script of "Beauty Taken"? I can't let it get in my hands." After he said that, his eyes fell on Xia Qingqian and he raised his chin, hinting at something.
"Don't think about it. We can take the photo. Just find someone else." Ji Fengfan refused coldly.
"Why look for someone else? Your wife is so suitable~" Ning You shouted.
Xia Qingqian blushed when she was called that.
Ji Fengfan coughed lightly without changing his expression, "No room for negotiation."
"Why don't you ask Xiao Qianqian's opinion first, in case she wants to take it." Ning You used a roundabout tactic.
"Beauty Taken" was a good script, and he put a lot of effort in the early stage to prepare. It was a pity that it was put on hold because of Shen Shuyi's filming. He had in mind that Xia Qingqian would play the role. He had been optimistic about her during the initial audition. Moreover, Shen Shuyi had not even been in the group for two days, so she could almost be ignored.
However, when he mentioned it to Ji Fengfan, he flatly refused.
He also knew what Ji Fengfan was thinking. He gave the role to Shen Shuyi in the first place, and now he asked Xia Qingqian to go back and shoot the role, so he felt guilty.
He didn't think it was a big problem. It mainly depended on Xia Qingqian's willingness. After all, good scripts were hard to come by. Since she decided to return to China for development, this would be a good opportunity.
Xia Qingqian was stunned for a long time before she realized that Ning You really wanted her to take over "Beauty Robbery". She thought he was joking just now.
She raised her head and met Ning You's expectant expression, she pursed her lips and thought.
She really put a lot of effort into this drama at that time, and her understanding of the role is still deeply imprinted in her mind. It's just... because Shen Shuyi had intervened in the drama, the early reputation of the drama had been affected. In fact, she had communicated with Yang Manni over the phone about her first drama after returning to China, and she wanted it to be a hit.
Moreover, she had been in contact with senior Lu Wanyin about the script a year ago, which was the sequel to "Pretty Woman", the famous work of Ji Fengfan's mother. Senior Lu was very demanding, and their entire team had been preparing for almost a year, waiting for her to return to China to start filming.
She must be overwhelmed at this time, and it is definitely not possible for her to take on two big-budget dramas at the same time.
"Director Ning, why don't you find someone else..." Xia Qingqian finally declined.
Ning You suddenly jumped up excitedly, "Why?"
He was always confident that if Ji Fengfan did not agree, Xia Qingqian would probably agree, so he came to him again.
"I have a drama on hand that will start filming soon, and I don't have time to take on two dramas at once." Xia Qingqian explained with a smile.
That was indeed the case. Shen Shuyi's incident wasn't enough to upset her to the point of giving up a good script.
Ning You rolled his eyes and slapped his thigh. "When will the filming of the drama you are working on start? How long will it take?" Without waiting for Xia Qingqian to answer, he continued to talk on his own. "Usually it will take three or four months, half a year at most. Half a year is no problem. I can wait. Besides, the filming schedule in the early stage is very tight, so you can also spare some time to come over later. Anyway, you just need to cooperate with me."
Xia Qingqian, "......"
Why do I feel like I'm being forced to do something I'm not prepared for?
"Xiao Qianqian, what do you think? You decide the time, and I just need to cooperate." Ning You patted his chest and made a promise, as if Xia Qingqian was the only one who could do it.
Xia Qingqian looked at Ji Fengfan.
"Stop looking at your husband, look at me, look at me, it's settled!" Ning You was extremely anxious.
"...That's fine." Xia Qingqian finally agreed, "But my time is uncertain. If you can't wait, just find someone else."
"Don't worry, don't worry. The heroine will be welded here for you. I will wait for you no matter how long it takes." After getting Xia Qingqian's affirmative answer, Ning You was so happy that he almost hummed a song in Ji Fengfan's office.
Ji Fengfan looked at him coldly, his face full of displeasure, "Have you found the male lead?"
Ning You smiled and said, "I just found the female lead. As for the male lead, I do have a candidate, but I need your help. Your Qianqian has agreed to play the female lead, so I believe you will agree to help."
Ji Fengfan frowned, feeling that this person was setting a trap for him again.
"Who?"
"Xiaobai, that guy is the most suitable."
Ji Fengfan lowered his head and thought, it would be a good idea to let Xiaobai build up momentum for Qianqian.
Ning You knew there was hope when he saw his expression, so he prepared to leave quickly. Now that the biggest problem had been solved, he felt relieved.
"I won't disturb you two from having lunch. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he left the office in a flash. If he didn't leave, Ji Fengfan's eyes would really kill people.
