Su Lingxi is not a naive person who knows nothing about the world. She understands the implicit meaning of Ruan Tang's words - she can get this role directly without any audition.

After all, she has won more than a dozen Best Actress trophies, and Ruan Tang's connections in the film industry cannot be underestimated.

But, if it was a good movie, why couldn’t they find the actress just before filming started?

Su Lingxi kept it in mind.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately searched the Internet for the film and television project that Ruan Tang mentioned.

"Summer of Sixteen", as the name suggests, is a youth film that requires no brainer. At first glance, the title of the movie sounds a bit like the "chicken soup film" that is crudely produced in theaters every year and only teenagers or couples will watch it because of boredom.

The director's name is Tang Wanhua, and she doesn't seem to be well-known in the industry.

Su Lingxi continued reading patiently and finished the story outline in one breath.

The story begins during the summer vacation. The heroine Qiao Qiao comes to Haishi No. 16 High School as a transfer student. This introverted 16-year-old girl meets Guan Mingyue, who is also years old, in the new environment. A new and strong friendship soon arises between these two completely different girls. As their friendship deepens, their position in each other's hearts becomes more and more important.

With the help of Guan Mingyue, Qiao Qiao regained the confident and sunny self she was before her parents divorced. She no longer tolerated and retreated blindly, and learned how to show her charm. However, when the school hunk she had been "secretly in love" with for a long time confessed to her, Qiao Qiao found that she didn't like him...

Different from those fast-food romance movies, this film does not have poor performance on the college entrance examination, no abortion or drunkenness, and no on-and-off sadomasochistic love. It eliminates many melodramatic elements in previous youth movies and only retains the most basic four characters of two women and two men, depicting a simple, honest and passionate youth.

Fashion, art and the blue sea open a door of fantasy for the audience. With just a few strokes, people can feel the freshness and beauty that comes to them, which conforms to all people's experience or imagination of youth.

Su Lingxi looked at the biography of her character again.

Guan Mingyue, a famous figure in Haishi, is beautiful and proud, with a very high aesthetic taste. She has a chic charm that her peers don't have, and it seems that no problem can stump her. She is picky about outsiders, but loyal to her friends.

She is an image of a rich girl who is a bit willful and bold.

And he's the second lead, so it seems like he has a lot of roles.

Since Su Lingxi chose to take this film into consideration, he wanted to know all the information about it.

She opened WeChat and asked Sister Yang if she knew who the actress who had been confirmed to play the role was.

Yang Qian understood her concerns and spoke frankly to her, telling her the whole cause and effect in detail.

The role of Guan Mingyue was previously assigned to newcomer Wu Yuejin, whose agent had some connections with director Tang Wanhua and recommended her directly. But before Wu Yuejin could meet the director, her agency got into trouble. The company's top management offended the leader of the Kiwi Video platform at a drinking party, and was even told to "teach her a lesson".

For a time, all the actors under this company were soft-banned by Kiwi Video, and lost a lot of resources. Those who had some connections chose to terminate their contracts.

Although Wu Yuejin was reluctant to give up the film resources she had finally received, she really couldn't do it to ruin her career for a low-budget romance movie.

After hearing this, Su Lingxi finally resolved the doubts in his heart.

But... Tang Wanhua's resume in the film industry is almost blank, so how could she be an old acquaintance of Ruan Tang?

Su Lingxi's question was answered at the dinner the next day.

It was called a dinner party, but in fact there were only four people. In addition to Ruan Tang and Tang Wanhua, there was also a short-haired beauty with an unfamiliar face.

As soon as Su Lingxi sat down with Ruan Tang, the short-haired beauty spoke crisply: "Good evening, Teacher Ruan, good evening, Lingxi, I am Wu He."

Ruan Tang nodded slightly, and Su Lingxi shook hands with her politely, "Hello Wu He, nice to meet you."

Wu He smiled faintly and then sat down.

Seeing the familiar atmosphere between her and Tang Wanhua, Su Lingxi guessed that this person might be the heroine of the movie.

At the same time, Tang Wanhua was also looking at the girl in front of her calmly, with a hint of interest in her eyes.

She had worked as a film critic for more than a decade, and this was her first time to make a movie on her own. For this campus romance movie, she and her screenwriters went to a private middle school in the capital to experience campus life firsthand.

But we have to admit that if the film was shot completely according to reality, it would probably be bland and boring without any interest at all.

It was also because of this experience that Tang Wanhua made up her mind to add more imaginative elements into the film, to make this adolescence intertwined with friendship and family affection more beautiful, and to create a unique utopian world for the audience.

This girl was recommended by Ruan Tang herself, and her acting skills are beyond doubt. After meeting her in person today, Tang Wanhua was also very satisfied with her appearance.

Compared to the heroine who "rises from a sparrow to a phoenix", the character of Guan Mingyue needs to give people a sense of surprise when she first appears. She is the most shining girl on campus, and anyone next to her will be dimmed.

If the actors are not good-looking enough, not only will the visual effect be greatly reduced, but the dramatic tension will also be affected.

Fortunately, she looks almost the same as in the photo - and her smile is so friendly that just one encounter can make people feel happy.

The corners of Tang Wanhua's mouth rose slightly.

It was a good decision to do this favor to Ruan Tang.

However, she did not say anything, still with a faint smile on her face, and said: "Hello, Miss Su, I am Tang Wanhua, and I am also the director of "Summer of Sixteen"."

"Hello, Director Tang."

Tang Wanhua noticed her nervousness and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be so restrained. I'm a new director just like you. We just need to help each other to complete this work."

She patted Wu He's shoulder and said, "Xiao He is the actress who plays Qiao Qiao. You two should hurry up and get familiar with each other before the filming starts."

In fact, Su Lingxi had already anticipated the reason why Wu He appeared here. After all, she was not a real newcomer in the entertainment industry like the original owner. Whoever had connections and relationships could be seen by her.

But she still pretended to be slightly surprised and gave the other person a smile full of joy.

Looks very friendly.

Wu He also smiled back generously.

She has the kind of relaxed and generous facial features. Although she is not very beautiful, she has fair skin and a superior temperament. Her demeanor is such that you can tell at a glance that she is not a girl raised in an ordinary family.
