Chapter 203: Why Are You Doing So Much To Help Jiang Xun?

It’s so cold and windy. Are you sure you want to go out for a walk?

Guanglin pulled Jiang Xun to a corner and whispered, “It’s like this. Zhang Shuidong and Zhang Kangwang both hope that you can stay here permanently.”

“Is what they said true?” Jiang Xun was surprised. “I thought they were just being polite.”

“Of course they’re sincere,” Guanglin said. “Just now, they held me on both sides and insisted that I agree to your permanent residence. How about it? Are you interested?”

“I have no problems with being a permanent resident.” Jiang Xun nodded. “I quite like the atmosphere here. I’ll get to go out to work and cook by myself. The air quality here is also good, of course…”

Jiang Xun’s tone changed. “Staying here permanently will cost a different price.”

Guanglin wiped his face. “As long as you agree, I’ll talk to President Wang about the specifics.”

Jiang Xun readily agreed. Having a manager was good, and she didn’t need to worry about anything.

After Zilong took a shower and went back to his room to change, he received a call from Deng Xu.

“Old Chen, this is your first time participating in a variety show like this. How do you feel?” Deng Xu asked with a chuckle over the phone.

“It’s pretty good. I can do all the work I can and can even cook for myself,” Zilong said with a smile. “It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced life in the countryside. It’s good to take this opportunity to experience it.”

“Oh right, Jiang Xun, who you recommended to me before, is also here for this show,” Zilong said.

He was alone in his room. He didn’t let the cameraman follow him, so all the cameras in the room were turned off.

“Oh, isn’t this a coincidence?” Deng Xu quickly asked. “What do you think?”

“What do you mean, what do I think? I’ve never seen her act before.” Zilong snickered. “The little girl is quite nice. She has a straightforward personality and can work hard.”

“Didn’t I send you a clip of her audition?” Deng Xu was anxious. Jiang Xun’s acting was so good, how could Zilong doubt it?

“That little bit was too short. What is there for me to see?” Zilong sat beside the bed. “Although the role you recommended her to play is not the main character, it takes up a considerable part. Not just anyone can play it well. You know that I have high requirements for acting skills, especially for this murderer with an anti-social personality. “I’m afraid that the actress will only play this character as a simple pervert.”

“This character is a sociopath and a murderer, but because she lacks emotional perception, she can’t just play this character in a perverted way. She usually looks like a normal person, but when she kills, she kills without batting an eye. Do you understand that feeling? The pleasure she feels when she kills, the emptiness after she kills, but it’s not just these two emotions.”

“I understand, but to be able to act like this, she needs to be at least at the level of a movie queen. To be honest, I don’t think every character can be played well, and it’s very likely that she lacks some skill. The key is that even a movie queen can’t act as a supporting role,” Deng Xu said.

Zilong sighed. That was why it was so difficult to find an actor for this role.

First of all, the age limit limited the role to young actors.

The acting skills of young actors were already lacking. Now that actors were taking good care of themselves, the age range of the actors could be increased.

However, at this age, those with sufficient acting skills were already famous early on. They would not act in a role that required a lot of effort.

Those who were willing to act were lacking in acting skills as well.

“How about this? I’m currently editing my new play,” Deng Xu said. “I’ll send you a clip of Jiang Xun later. Take a look. At least give her a chance to audition.”

“Sure,” Zilong did not object to letting Jiang Xun audition. “But why are you doing so much to help Jiang Xun? Even if you think that this young lady is not bad and you think highly of her, it doesn’t make sense to go that far.”

Deng Xu said helplessly, “Wasn’t it because I was blind at the beginning? It’s the same as you. You thought Jiang Xun was inexperienced and underestimated her performance. Jiang Xun must have noticed my attitude at that time, but she didn’t care. Later, when I saw her performance, I was so embarrassed. She smacked my face with her actual performance! But the little girl is really open-minded. She never mentioned that incident to me, as if it never happened.”

“Even if she doesn’t mention it, I can’t pretend that it didn’t happen! Our age difference makes me an uncle to her, so I misunderstood the little girl. I treated her lightly in the beginning, so I had to find a way to make up for it, right?” Deng Xu said honestly, “After I saw her performance back then, I decided to give her a good script to act in. I couldn’t bury her performance. But I really didn’t have a suitable script on hand. On the contrary, the role in your hands seemed to be tailor-made for her. So I thought of you first.”
