Chapter 925: Finding Li Lingxin’s Replacement
Chapter 925: Finding Li Lingxin’s Replacement
“What, really?” Han Cihui almost jumped up from the sofa when he heard the great news.Jia Qiulian was looking at him curiously, and when Han Cihui saw her staring at him, he immediately reacted coolly. “Can I come directly? Is it that easy?”
“Yes. You can pack your things and come here as soon as possible to talk to Director Fan. Get ready to shoot the movie in a week.”
“In a week? ” Han Cihui was puzzled. “Why in a week?”
Han Cihui was not an outsider, so Liang Jiahao did not hide Li Lingxin’s matter from him. When Han Cihui heard this, his heart sank and he almost cursed. Just as he was about to curse, he suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, “Will Li Lingxin be replaced?”
“Yes.” Liang Jiahao nodded. “Fortunately, we have seven days to find her replacement. I will ask Han Yuanjun to send me all the information about suitable female celebrities from the Han Group later. After confirming the actress with Director Fan, I will ask her to fly here quickly.”
“How troublesome is that?” Han Cihui suddenly looked at Jia Qiulian and his eyes suddenly lit up. With a mischievous smile, he said, “Big brother, let me tell you, I have a suitable replacement for Li Lingxin here. I will come the day after tomorrow and bring her there. Director Fan will surely be pleased when he sees her.”
“You know someone?” Liang Jiahao could not believe it. He wondered when Han Cihui had gotten so close to a female celebrity. He came to Los Angeles for a vacation, and suddenly he met a female celebrity?
“Yes.” Han Cihui smiled with satisfaction. “She’s with me now. I’ll talk to her first and then bring her there the day after tomorrow.”
Without waiting for Liang Jiahao to refuse, Han Cihui hung up the phone.
Placing the phone down on the coffee table, he walked excitedly to Jia Qiulian and said with a smile. “Qiulian, there’s a great opportunity for you. Do you know Director Fan Xiaobo?”
Fan Xiaobo’s reputation was known to everyone. Jia Qiulian had also heard of him before.
Han Cihui became even more arrogant when he saw her nod. “Let me tell you, there’s an international movie that my brother and sister-in-law are investing in. There’s something going on with the actress who plays the second female lead and she needs to be replaced temporarily. What do you think about it? Are you interested?”
“Second female lead?” Jia Qiulian was a little taken aback.
Han Cihui thought that Jia Qiulian didn’t like the role and immediately explained. “Qiulian, don’t look down on this role. You must know that this movie is directed by Director Fan Xiaobo. All the famous female celebrities in the country are trying their best to get this role. There are many people who don’t have this chance, and although I offered you to play the first female lead in my next movie, but this opportunity is also very good. You can say that this opportunity is better than the one I offered.”
“That’s not what I meant.” Jia Qiulian smiled when she saw how anxious Han Cihui was. “I know how good and how popular Director Fan Xiaobo is. I’m just worried he won’t like me. After all, I’ve never acted in a movie before, let alone become famous. I feel that only very famous female celebrities can star in his movies.”
“Aiya!” Han Cihui laughed heartily and did his best to brag. “As long as you want to act, I can even help you get the role of the first female lead! It’s just that the first female lead in this movie is my niece Qin Yu, so… hehe…”
His smile was a little goofy and a little cute, making Jia Qiulian want to laugh as well. She purposely frowned and asked, “Really? I won’t be chased away by others if I go there, will I?”
“That won’t happen.” Han Cihui immediately straightened his back and proudly raised his chin. “My brother and sister-in-law have invested in this movie. Who’d dare to chase you away? Unless they don’t treasure their lives and don’t want to live anymore!”
This was indeed an opportunity for Jia Qiulian. Although she had never acted properly before, but when she was at college in China, there was a classmate who happened to be a director at a film academy. At that time, he brought her in to help him shoot microfilm. So, she knew a little bit about acting.
Besides, she was already at her wits’ end. Maybe this was her new hope.
Jia Qiulian looked at Han Cihui, who was showing off in front of her, and suddenly said seriously, “Han Cihui, thank you.”
Han Cihui was stunned for a moment and did not respond. He was obviously joking, but why was Jia Qiulian suddenly playing the love card? He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. “Why did you suddenly thank me?”
The corner of Jia Qiulian’s mouth suddenly curled. She no longer looked like a weak and pitiful person when she was brought to the hospital. She now looked very energetic. The hope for the future and the desire for success in her heart made her entire being seem as if she was covered with a warm sun. She was beautiful and moving.
“Thank you.” Jia Qiulian said without haste, “Thank you for giving me hope when I was almost on the verge of death. Thank you for coming to my rescue when I was in danger. Thank you for not asking anything after I woke up. Thank you even more for letting me pull myself together so quickly.”
Han Cihui accompanied Jia Qiulian for two days.
For two whole days, he did not ask her the reason for her suicide.
He had saved her last shred of self-respect and was considerate enough not to embarrass her.
It was rare.
For Jia Qiulian, meeting a man like Han Cihui was extremely rare.
Han Cihui sighed deeply. “I did not ask anything because I knew you would not want to talk about it. If you want to tell me, of course, you will. Jia Qiulian, I really like seeing you laugh. No matter what you have been through, I hope you will not change and be happy. Your smile can warm the hearts of many people. I, Han Cihui, do not dare to promise too much, but I can guarantee it. As long as you want, I will definitely help you make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry.”
Jia Qiulian: “…”
This was called not promising too much?
She also felt that as long as she wanted the position of number 1 celebrity, Han Cihui would dare to guarantee it to her.
Actually, Jia Qiulian did not want much. She just wanted to find a motivation to live. She just wanted to live her life meaningfully and not live for a man, for a bastard, like before.
“You don’t have to promise me anything.” Jia Qiulian smiled faintly. “If you think I can do it, I will go and try. How far I can go depends on whether my own hard work is enough or not.”
“En.” Han Cihui really liked Jia Qiulian’s current state of mind. “So that means you agreed?”
“Why not?” Although Jia Qiulian was not smiling, her eyes were still as sweet as a smiling flower. “This is a good opportunity for me. I will definitely do my best.”
