Hello Mr. King Chapter 575 - Having Connections

Chapter 575: Having Connections

“Ai Li needs to cultivate. Song Qian is the only one by your side. I’ll be sending someone over.” Song Mian was worried about Yun Xiangxiang.

“But I don’t plan to terminate the employment relations.h.i.+p with Ai Li.” Yun Xiangxiang frowned. She didn’t want Song Mian to worry, but she also didn’t want to hire someone at the last minute. When Ai Li returned, it would be a little awkward; Yun Xiangxiang felt three bodyguards were a lot.

Ai Li and Song Qian, who were by her side, could be compared to three normal bodyguards, but Coco was also very skilled.

Song Mian understood Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts. He pondered for a while and said, “How about this, I’ll ask Yu You to take care of you for a short period of time.”

Yun Xiangxiang still remembered Yu You. When they were filming “Jiu Se,” Song Mian had sent Yu You abroad to help her investigate the incident of the gla.s.s falling. It was a woman whose husband’s surname was Song.

“She has a family. It’s not very humane of you to separate her from her husband for so long.” Yun Xiangxiang still declined politely.

“Her husband has pa.s.sed away.” Song Mian’s tone was heavy.

Yun Xiangxiang was shocked. Yu You was so young. How could her husband have pa.s.sed away so early?

“She has a son, too. He’s not much younger than Little Lin. She can bring her son over. It’s better for her to help you take care of Little Lin.” Song Mian made up his mind. “Rest early. I’ll be back soon.”

Yun Xiangxiang remembered that her birthday was on the 10th. It was already the 6th today, and they had been apart for 20 days. They had been busy before, but now that they had settled things, all they could think about was how much they missed each other.

“Alright, I’m going to rest now. Good night.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to disturb Song Mian.

He must have gone through a soul-stirring rescue operation. He might be very tired and need to rest. There might be other trivial matters that he needed to deal with.

After hanging up the phone, it was not even ten o’clock. Yun Xiangxiang picked up the script and read it for another half an hour before falling asleep.

She could roughly guess what Liang Xinrong was unsure about. Be it Empress Lu or Beauty Yu, both were outstanding characters.

However, due to some misinformation, when people mentioned the two people, their first reaction was the difference between a vixen and Bai Yueguang.

Most importantly, the Beauty Yu in the script had also overturned her previous image of being soft and weak. Although she was not strong enough to wear armor on the battlefield, she was not a burden that would only drag others down. She only needed someone to protect her.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at the name of the screenwriter and felt a little unfamiliar. She took out her phone to search and found that it was a female screenwriter. She didn’t graduate from a related major, but was a talented woman who graduated from Beijing University of history. After graduating, she entered Xiong Ao’s studio.

Her script was really eye-catching. It didn’t discriminate against anyone, nor did it belittle anyone.

The winners also had their flaws, while the losers had their s.h.i.+ning points.

Yun Xiangxiang spent two days to finish reading the script. It was called a script, but when she looked at it, it was as if she was there. She used a pair of indifferent eyes to look at this inexplicable piece of history that made people feel that it was real.

It could be said that no one won the grand finale. Needless to say, the Overlord and the Beauty Yu, even if they won the world’s Han Gaozu and Empress Lu, wouldn’t they also be devastated?

After reading it, she took advantage of the last day of dubbing and returned the script to Liang Xinrong. She asked her, “Which role do you most desire to interpret in your heart?”

“The two female leads have similar scenes, but I prefer Empress Lu,” Liang Xinrong replied honestly to Yun Xiangxiang.

“If you can accurately grasp the changes in her before and after, then I suggest you play Empress Lu.” Yun Xiangxiang also preferred this role.

Empress Lu was very different from Beauty Yu, who had always been doted on and cared for. Her temperament didn’t fluctuate much, so the role of Empress Lu had a huge span.

The script also followed history as best as possible. Empress Lu was ordered by her father to marry Han Gaozu, who was fifteen years older than her and had an illegitimate child.

No one was born with ambition. She married Han Gaozu, served his parents for three years, and had children. Three years later, she was forced to go to prison because of him, and she was tortured in prison.

This separation was ten years. In these ten years, she had been wandering around, and she had been imprisoned. She had run away with her head in her hands, and she had been a hostage in the Xiang family.

By the time she managed to escape with much difficulty, her husband already had a young and beautiful concubine by his side, and her son and daughter were not close to her.

She was not even thirty years old, and after experiencing so many changes, how could she not become a vicious and merciless woman?

After her husband doted on his concubine and intended to depose her son, disregarding the suffering she had suffered for him, how could she not become a woman who would do anything for the sake of power?

Only those who had experienced despair knew what was the basis for her to be able to settle down and live on. For this reason, she was willing to do anything.

It could be said that Empress Lu in the drama was an ambitious person who was honed by the times and the environment.

Yun Xiangxiang had also gone to look up some information. Although it was not particularly comprehensive, it was definitely from the perspective of the screenwriter.

Empress Lu was like all other girls when she was a teenager. It was probably because she was a little more tenacious and intelligent. There were no records of her torturing her husband’s illegitimate child, which showed that she was very magnanimous.

This was a typical character that had gone dark in the later stages of the script. Moreover, the script had written a quarter of her plot very vividly.

Yun Xiangxiang felt that anyone who saw it would feel sorry for her. The heartache behind her changes tugged on some heartstrings, making people hate and love her at the same time.

This kind of role was definitely easy for an actor with a rich acting experience, but Liang Xinrong was still callow.

Some roles were not set poorly, but they were set too meticulously. If an actor’s acting skills were not good enough, they wouldn’t be able to show that kind of feeling. Instead, they would become a huge failure and be bombarded by others.

“I don’t have full confidence, but I want to try hard.” Liang Xinrong took a deep breath, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with ambition, “Oh right, Sister Xiang, I also heard that the company feels that no actor is suitable for the role of Beauty Yu, so they plan to choose one from the rookies.”

The Arts Admission Test had already ended, and Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s annual rookie selection pageant was about to begin again. It was unknown what the rules were this year, but it seemed to be at the end of this month.

“Why would they choose from the rookies?” Yun Xiangxiang thought it was unbelievable.

Such a good script, and it was bought from Xiong Ao’s studio, it must have cost a lot of money.

Yun Xiangxiang was not looking down on newbies, but newbies didn’t need to hone their acting skills—many of them had no experience at all.

“It’s all because of someone.” Xue Yu happened to be there. He snorted, “A director’s daughter is graduating from the film and Television Academy this year, she has already announced that she will partic.i.p.ate in the newbie selection.”

“Internal selection?” Yun Xiangxiang immediately understood. She couldn’t help but look at Liang Xinrong.

She felt that this girl was not only well-informed, but also very smart.
