Chapter 1540: Second Female Lead

“Besides, since we took on this project, both you and I have some experience in this area. Designing it isn’t a big deal, just a matter of time. Moreover, the design sketches should first be shown to Director Chen and follow his concept. Simply referencing Sweetheart’s cheongsam design doesn’t hold much meaning.”

Shen Bin’s smile showed signs of cracking, but before anyone could notice, he had already masked his expression and agreed, “Master Su is right.”

Su Miaotong didn’t show him any attitude, just turned her head to ask Qiao Shan, “Have the lead and supporting actors been decided? We can design the costumes based on the actors’ body shapes.”

“It’s said that the male lead has already been decided, and by tomorrow at the latest, Director Chen will give a definite answer. As for the female lead, he’s keeping it tightly under wraps, likely still negotiating. Several capable actresses are competing, but the second female lead was settled early on—Song Yuan, a rising film star in the past couple of years.”

Who?

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly recalled the person she saved back in the Capital City.

What a coincidence?

“What’s up, Jiaojiao?” Su Miaotong asked her softly.

Nan Jiaojiao said, “I just couldn’t remember who it was for a moment.”

“Song Yuan, who debuted in films, seems to be a second-generation rich. A couple of years ago, there were rumors about her bringing investment into projects, but she turned things around with her acting skills. You didn’t know?”

She didn’t know squat.

Nan Jiaojiao, this old-fashioned person who’s always offline, besides Chu Yao, she can’t recognize anyone else’s face in the entertainment circle.

She smiled, “I haven’t watched any of her movies.”

“I forgot you’re still a sophomore. You’re busy studying, so it’s not surprising you haven’t watched many movies. Later, I’ll recommend a few of Song Yuan’s films for you to watch—you can observe her body shape and demeanor to help with your creations.”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded in thanks.

Shen Bin looked at her in surprise, as if not expecting that the intern who made a name with a piece of work right after joining the company was still in school.

He swallowed quietly, his smile not quite genuine anymore.

Qiao Shan spoke calmly, “There’s still a long time—starting to shoot will take at least a month, and Director Chen is picky with casting. We can talk once he confirms the female lead. I’ll send everyone Director Chen’s ideas for the male lead’s look, as well as the script, shortly. You’ll each get a copy to take home and read.”

She stood up, sent the work to the three of them, then operated her phone to email them the information about the male lead and the already confirmed supporting actress, Song Yuan.

Qiao Shan left first, while Su Miaotong and Nan Jiaojiao chatted as they walked out.

Shen Bin was left behind alone.

His expression was unusual, his eyes blatantly fixed on Nan Jiaojiao.

He really couldn’t figure out this intern.

In terms of manners, she had them, but only on the surface. Earlier, she pulled out a chair for him, because he had stepped over, thinking Nan Jiaojiao was serving him. Well, it’s not unusual for a newbie to try to please her superior, but the expression on her face at that moment seemed a bit disdainful. Perhaps she didn’t expect him to sit down right away and just gave him a perfunctory nod before going to sit with Su Miaotong.

Personally selected by Director Chen.

Hmph.

Just someone who’s done odd jobs with the crew.

Shen Bin initially wanted to ask if there was some connection between Nan Jiaojiao and Director Chen, but Qiao Shan’s phone call dispelled this thought. He had seen many people with connections, and since Director Qin also approved, he had nothing to say, except to wonder if such a little girl could really take on the role of overall responsibility.

Nan Jiaojiao was unaware of this, nor did she care. She only cared about how many clients Su Miaotong had introduced to help her.
