She went to Xie Manliang’s own house. Song Mian did not accompany her, but he wei did.
As a rich director, Xie Manliang did not live in a luxurious castle or villa. Instead, he lived in a small house that he had designed and hired people to build. It was less than 100 square meters and had a total of two floors, he lived with his wife.
His children were in other places. Some were studying, some were working, and they all had their own families. They rarely came back.
There were no servants at home. His wife was a very kind lady and she was very good at cooking.
However, before they could enjoy the food, Xie Manliang received a phone call. It was actually from Joseph, asking him to bring Yun Xiangxiang to meet him.
Yun Xiangxiang was a little surprised, but she did not refuse. Therefore, she and he weiyi were brought by Xie Manliang to meet Joseph.
It was in a private room in a hotel. Joseph was not the only one there. There were several other people. Three of them were Hollywood’s superstars. Yun Xiangxiang had seen them at this year’s film festival.
After Yun Xiangxiang and the others arrived, Joseph personally introduced them. The other two were screenwriters and a famous Hollywood producer.
Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed to be an occasion for the production team to discuss collaboration. Yun Xiangxiang had a thought and exchanged a look with he wei. They could see the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“Alright, everyone is in position. I invited everyone here this time because I hope that everyone can work together.”Joseph was the host, so he said to everyone, “I got a very good script, and I can’t wait to show it...”
Joseph briefly explained that this was a sci-fi drama, and it was one of Hollywood’s most famous dramas.
It was about how after the apocalypse, humans lived in the stars, and the places where they lived were becoming more and more fragile. They needed to send a team of Bravehearts to explore one mysterious planet after another, they needed to find planets that were suitable for their migration.
This team would encounter very magical and thrilling things on one planet after another.
Because of the setting, this team should have people with all kinds of skin qualities. What they talked about was unity, cooperation, and the spirit of bravery. This film would become a series of films, basically one planet after another, each step had different dangers and difficulties.
The film was temporarily named “The Salvation Team.”The Salvation team had the meaning of saving the planet, and it also meant that this team was the salvation of the entire planet. Joseph was a very casual person.
After he finished explaining, he said humorously, “Of course, I’m a fickle and strange person. Maybe it will change in the next second.”
The others all smiled gently. Joseph asked everyone if they were interested in joining his team.
No one present was willing to refuse. This was a very good story. Even though Joseph did not specify what would happen on each planet, and how exciting and exciting these mysterious ideas would be.., joseph never let anyone down.
Only Yun Xiangxiang did not express her opinion, which attracted Joseph’s curiosity. “Yun, whatever you have in mind, you can say it.”
The others were surprised by Joseph’s leniency towards Yun Xiangxiang. After all, Joseph had never been a good-tempered person, especially during filming. He had a nickname called “The violent maniac.”.
Everyone turned their gazes towards Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang could only ask sincerely, “May I know when the film will start shooting?”
“After the new year,”Joseph answered.
The New Year was at the end of December, which was more than three months later.
In fact, he had already guessed it. When he saw Joseph talking about this film, he knew how much he liked it and how much he looked forward to it. The more he talked about it, the more passionate he was and the more energy he put into it, the faster the preparation would be.
Especially the words “Joseph”. There was no lack of investors, so it was even smoother.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have the honor to join your team.”Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and felt regretful and apologetic.
She could hear that she would be one of the members of the Savior team. It would not be an ordinary soy-sauce role, but one of the main characters.
Such a rare opportunity would make all the actors’eyes red with envy when it was sent back to China.
However, it was obvious that there would be a large number of martial arts scenes in this film. Yun Xiangxiang could not complete it at all.
“Are you rejecting me again?”Joseph was a little stunned. He did not expect to be rejected by Yun Xiangxiang Again!
These words made Yun Xiangxiang feel awkward. “I will give you a reasonable explanation later.”
She could not reveal the news of her pregnancy in front of so many people. Although there was no conflict of interest between them now, and the gap between them was still very big, and they were from different countries, she had to be wary of others.
In that case, Joseph did not force her, but he was clearly a little disappointed. It was probably because before he invited people, he had already brought everyone into the role. He even gave each of the actors he arranged a unique look, skills, special emphasis on the plot.
Because in his opinion, no one would reject him, so he had already thought of it according to the list he had prepared.
There was a fire in his heart, and he was suddenly displeased after being splashed with a bucket of cold water. All of a sudden, he became dispirited.
Everyone seemed to be able to see that Joseph’s interest had dropped. After the meal, the screenwriter and producer suggested that they had something to do and left. Soon after, the other three Hollywood actors also left one after another, only Yun Xiangxiang, he Wei, Xie Manliang, and Joseph were left in the private room.
“I want to know the reason why you rejected my invitation,”Joseph asked coldly.
With the gap between him and Yun Xiangxiang, he had specially taken care of Yun Xiangxiang and given her such an important role. He did not expect Yun Xiangxiang to be grateful, or at least he could not openly reject her, if Yun Xiangxiang did not have a valid reason to convince him this time, Joseph’s good impression of Yun Xiangxiang would disappear completely.
There were so many people fighting for the chance to show their faces in his film, but none of them could get it!
Especially when he invited Yun Xiangxiang and had the intention to help Yun Xiangxiang. He had promised to personally create a film for Yun Xiangxiang, but Yun Xiangxiang did not have any international experience. No matter how popular her endorsement was.., it was all nonsense to him.
If Yun Xiangxiang showed her talent in this film and even stabilized her position in the next series of films, her exclusive film would be favored by others, and she would be less ostracized and pressured by public opinion.
“Thank you for taking care of me. It’s really unfortunate that I’m going to be a mother soon and won’t be able to advance to this important role.”Yun Xiangxiang felt really guilty, and her tone was extremely sincere.
Joseph thought of many reasons, but he didn’t expect it to be such an impeccable reason.
In the end, he could only sigh. “That’s really too regretful...”
