How can a director be a gigolo?

Chapter 119 Replacement

She did whatever Wang Xiaohao asked her to do.

Working overtime or studying is no problem for her at all.

This was the only thing that made Wang Xiaohao feel fortunate!

However, after filming the scene, Wang Xiaohao watched it from beginning to end and immediately frowned, discovering a problem.

The problem this time is that the temperament doesn't match!

Jin Ningxin's temperament was, how should I put it, very noble, giving off the air of a high-class lady, a celestial being.

But the wealth is also natural, carrying a sense of detachment.

It evokes the feeling of pear blossoms in a courtyard bathed in moonlight, and willow catkins drifting on a pond in a gentle breeze!

If you let her play an ordinary girl at this time, her natural charm will be impossible to hide.

This makes the image look very strange!

Upon realizing this, Wang Xiaohao clapped his hands, "We're doomed!"

The filming was a disaster!

This movie is unwatchable; it's completely off!

This is also due to Wang Xiaohao's lack of experience.

It was my first time filming an art film, and I didn't even realize it until after a scene was completely finished.

An experienced director would have noticed something was wrong long ago!

So Wang Xiaohao went to talk to Jin Ningxin about replacing him.

Jin Ningxin stared wide-eyed, looking utterly bewildered: "Director Wang, we've been filming for over ten days, and you're telling me you're replacing him?"

Wang Xiaohao opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to explain.

Instead, it was at this moment that Lü Xuan stepped forward and said, "Although I didn't want to say it either."

But Ningxin, I've been by your side these past few days, watching you film with my own eyes.

Many times, I worry about you.

You shouldn't feel any of the emotions that you should be able to feel easily?

For example, when Hiroko was talking to Akiha, she suddenly thought of the contents of the letter and smiled absentmindedly. Is that really hard to understand?

Why can't you act it out?!

Lü Xuan's tone was one of disappointment and frustration.

Although she also came from a wealthy family, she was ultimately older, more than ten years older than Jin Ningxin, and had much more experience.

Most importantly, she's also an artsy type. Her perception of art is much stronger than Jin Ningxin's.

She was able to understand the script of "Love Letter," especially when filming this scene, Wang Xiaohao explained it to Jin Ningxin countless times.

Although Jin Ningxin didn't understand anything at all, Lü Xuan next to her understood it perfectly and grew to love the story even more.

So at this moment, Lü Xuan spoke up for Wang Xiaohao: "Director Wang, such a good script, it's a complete waste to let you act in it!"

Jin Ningxin looked at her aunt, who had betrayed her, incredulously: "Auntie, whose side are you on?!"

Lu Xuan said, "Even though I'm your aunt, you're still too stupid!"

It's such a simple story, yet you can't understand it. Watching it these past few days has been painful for me…”

Jin Ningxin appears to have a rather aloof and cold demeanor, but that's only in front of people she doesn't know well.

In front of familiar people, he's like a child who hasn't grown up.

She cried out and rushed over to tickle Lü Xuan's ticklish spot.

Lu Xuan tried to suppress her, but failed and the two women ended up rolling around together.

Her clothes were a bit revealing, and her underwear... that was quite eye-catching!

Wang Xiaohao had to cough twice to remind himself that he was still there!

The two girls realized what was happening and stopped fighting.

Jin Ningxin frowned and said, "Then what should we do with this movie?"

Wang Xiaohao was also somewhat at a loss.

The movie has already started filming, we can't just abandon it and leave it alone, can we?

Moreover, Jin Ningxin's position as the female lead is unchangeable!

Although Jin Ningxin's acting skills are poor, Wang Xiaohao has a way to fix it, such as using more montage!

However, Jin Ningxin has no control over her demeanor and temperament, which is a big problem!

In her daily life, her elegant demeanor and temperament, cultivated from childhood, are naturally beautiful.

However, in a movie, if you're playing an ordinary woman but still maintaining the elegant demeanor of a rich young lady, that becomes problematic...

what!

Wang Xiaohao suddenly realized, who stipulated that Watanabe Hiroko in the movie was an ordinary woman, and couldn't be a young lady from a wealthy family?

Furthermore, if in the movie, Hiroko Watanabe and the female Fujii Itsuki look exactly alike, but one is rich and the other poor, wouldn't that create a perfect balance and contrast?

And to be honest, Miho Nakayama's acting in the original film wasn't good enough to make the two characters very distinct!

It's so difficult to tell the difference between the two!

Therefore, it is more important to distinguish between the two based on their personalities!

In the original version, the female tree's father died early, and she lived with her mother and grandfather. Her family's financial situation was not very good to begin with.

Hiroko Watanabe, on the other hand, could be portrayed as a wealthy young lady!

This creates a stark contrast.

So Wang Xiaohao told Jin Ningxin about his idea!

Unexpectedly, Jin Ningxin shook her head and said, "I think we should forget about it!"

Director Wang, don't settle for me anymore. Why don't you just find another actress for the lead role?

Wang Xiaohao was stunned.

Jin Ningxin smiled and said, "Even if you changed Bozi's character, there's still that female tree, isn't there?"

I still might not be able to detect it!

I think we should forget about it!

Director Wang, you'd better find another actor, lest my aunt say I ruined the role!

(In the drama, the characters' names have all been changed.)

(The original title is retained for ease of reading comprehension.)

Wang Xiaohao glanced at Lü Xuan, thinking to himself, "If only Lü Xuan were a few years younger, she might be able to play the female lead. At least her emotional perception is much better than that wooden beauty Jin Ningxin!"

Unfortunately, Lü Xuan is a little older now!

Since Jin Ningxin really didn't want to act, Wang Xiaohao coughed and said, "Ningxin, don't worry! I've also noticed during this time that you're quite skilled!"

Actually, this type of art film isn't really suitable for me.

"For your next project, I'll tailor-make one just for you—a female-led action film!"

He wasn't just giving a perfunctory answer.

Moreover, Jin Ningxin's skills are really good.

She studied dance and also practiced martial arts diligently for several years in order to film some so-called international blockbusters.

She should be more suited to playing the role of a female warrior in martial arts!

Overall, he's the type who doesn't talk much, has a cold face, and is constantly killing people from beginning to end!

Wang Xiaohao has already decided whether to film Tomb Raider or Resident Evil!

Jin Ningxin replied, "But I want to make romance films, like 'My Sassy Girl' and 'My Love from the Star'!"

Wang Xiaohao said, "Then let's shoot an action film with romance!"

It was quite a feat to finally coax Jin Ningxin into submission.

But then another headache arose: who should be cast in this film, "Love Letter"?

Moreover, Jin Ningxin is easy to coax, but Gong Yanchang probably won't be so easy to talk to.

How should I explain this to Gong Yanchang?

Wang Xiaohao suddenly felt a real headache coming on.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lü Xuan spoke up again, saying, "Director Wang, you should find a new female lead."

I'll explain to Mr. Gong on your behalf!
