Chapter 13
After she finished reading the script, Yun Xiangxiang remained silent .
This was a realist film, and Han Jing only took Xia Hong as the classical main character . The whole script could be said to be emphasized on Xia Hong’s perseverance . In such a difficult environment, she still persisted with her own university dream . This show could be classified as a one-man show for Xia Hong .
If the film wasn’t good, it would become a boring film .
It aroused the urge of conquest in Yun Xiangxiang’s heart .
She now understood why this script fell into her hands .
It was really hard to get this film to become famous . Secondly, the environment for the shots were too difficult . Just by looking at a few scenes written on the script was enough to make most people discouraged . Students who could be admitted to the film and television university would definitely have a good family background . Not many people could handle these harsh environments . Even if some people forced themselves to participate in the filming, they would definitely be shocked after experiencing such a situation themselves, which would impede them from producing the desired reactions and scenes that Han Jing wanted .
In the past, Yun Xiangxiang was like a star brimming with infinite glow . Just by simply going under the rain, or doing some wire fu acrobatic stunts [1], her fans would all praise her for her efforts .
In this life, Yun Xiangxiang wanted to become a down-to-earth actor . She did not want to rely on her fan’s support alone, but her performance in acting . “University Dream” would just be a start .
She decided to accept the role, and immediately gave Zhou Wei a reply .
The next day, a number from Hong Kong called Yun Xiangxiang’s phone . Yun Xiangxiang already knew who it was .
“You know who I am right?” At the end of the phone, a forthright female voice responded .
“If I am not mistaken, you should be Teacher Han Jing . ” Yun Xiangxiang did not beat around the bush .
“Smart girl . ” Han Jing praised . “You read the script . You tell me, what did you see?”
After a slight pause, Yun Xiangxiang replied, “Toughness . ”
It was toughness . No matter Xia Hong’s experience, or the filming process of this film . Both would be tough .
“It seems like you are ready . ” Han Jing said in a straightforward manner . “You’re on your winter vacation now right? I will book a plane ticket for you . You will have a look at our filming location first . I want you to see it yourself, and tell me again if you want to accept this role . There were a few girls before you who were very confident . However, after reaching the location, almost all of them were crying and begging to leave the location . ”
“Ok . ” Yun Xiangxiang was very happy with the Han Jing’s arrangement .
1Many directors only focused on appearance; many directors only focused on investments; many directors only focused on skills . Although there were scene descriptions in the script, the text description and visiting the place personally were two completely different things . However, since the contract was signed, the actor couldn’t quit at the last minute . It’s either they find a substitute, or they are forced to act . Otherwise, they would have to pay the sum for breaching the contract .
If the film was filmed like this, how good would the effects be?
Han Jing’s was incredibly efficient . Zhou Wei personally called Yun Zhibin at noon that day and somehow managed to convince him to let Yun Xiangxiang go . Yun Zhibin let Yun Xiangxiang’s grandmother to take care of Su Xiuling, and prepared to take Yun Xiangxiang to Sichuan Province . Yun Lin also made a commotion to go together . Yun Zhibin thought that he could let Yun Lin experience the environment of the poor mountain area along the way .
Everyone arrived at the airport the next day . Han Jing personally came to fetch them .
The role model from before stood right in front of her . She was already over forty years old, but it seemed like god really treasured beauties . She was still so beautiful, and she had an unreachable experienced demeanor . Although Wen Lan also had that aura around her, it was completely different compared to Han Jing’s, whose demeanor was more heroic .
After she greeted Yun Zhibin and others, Han Jing took a look at Yun Xiangxiang seriously .
“I have seen the first recording of “Caring Love” . You have the charm to stand out on any occasion . ” This charm did not come from an outstanding appearance . If Han Jing weren’t so desperate to find someone to become the female lead, she would never have taken a second look at Yun Xiangxiang who was recommended by Zhou Wei .
“I hope I will not let Teacher Han down . ” Yun Xiangxiang was also not modest .
The more they interacted, the more Han Jing liked Yun Xiangxiang’s personality . Han Jing took them to the hotel she booked beforehand, which was a five-star hotel . After that, it didn’t progress as how Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Zhibin expected as they would need to take a few hours to drive, walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, and climb over the mountains to reach the shooting location, Han Jing just used a helicopter and brought them to the filming location .
Yun Lin, who was riding the helicopter for the first time, was very excited . Looking at the mountains and rivers from above the sky, the soul-stirring experience was beyond words . The deeper into the mountains they went, the heavier the snow was .
“Our filming location has no road to allow cars to enter . ” The heavy snow had already covered the whole area to the point where it was not feasible to reach by foot .
When they arrived at the location, even Yun Zhibin was appalled by the scenery . He was born before the country was developed . He himself had already suffered a lot of hardship during that period of time . However, he had never thought that there would be such a house which was so worn-out . The house itself seemed like it was going to collapse soon . The bed in the house was old and broken, it was as if someone were to put some force onto it, it would collapse . There were several skylights which were covered by rags on the roof; the tables and stoves were built with stones .
The door was assembled by pieces of decaying wood . When the wind blew, the creaking sound emitted from it resembled the sound of a dying old woman screaming at the top of her lungs; it was sharp and cold .
2The thing that made Yun Zhibin feel unacceptable was still behind . The children who lived here would have to walk down from a cliff that was perpendicular to the ground . The road was a ladder made of rope and planks . Standing on the cliff, the bottom of the cliff could not be seen . His mind arose the thought “What if someone slipped his hand…”
2After that, they went to the filming location for the school . They walked through the rugged mountain road that could be walked . On the way, there were many people who were in a bad condition . Their faces were pale and skinny; their cheeks cracked because of the wind; their outfits were horrendous . This made Yun Zhibin, who was supposedly someone from the 70s, realize how good his life had been .
“If you are sure that you want to shoot this film, enter the group in July after the year . My shooting cycle is long . In order to get the real scene, the filming will span from July to January . I will arrange a dietitian to take care of you before we start filming . You need to be skinny . ” Han Jing stood on the cliff, and the cold wind blew her face . Her dark and deep eyes looked calm . “Be so skinny that you’re malnourished . ”
The children living in the mountain; the environment Xia Hong lived in . It goes without saying how her body condition would be like .
Make-up might be able to draw the malnourished effect, but the body figure and expression could not be fully presented even by the best actors .
“No problem . ” Yun Xiangxiang said without hesitation .
Han Jing had already seen many sides of people . While this movie had potential actresses who came here to view the location, only Yun Xiangxiang never gave any concerns about the location, remaining calm throughout .
She had seen all kinds of people and actors throughout her whole life, and she had never appreciated someone before, but this young lady had just made her heart flutter .
“I want to know why are you willing to partake in this film . ” Such a beautiful girl, a rare beauty that was rare even in the entertainment industry… such a young girl who should be soft and elegant, but possessed a will and resolve that exceeded Han Jing’s imagination .
1If Yun Xiangxiang were to rely on her looks, she would also be able to get famous easily by just acting in normal movies comfortably . She did not have to suffer at all .
“I want to be a real actor . ”
