The two sat down in a small conference room, and the secretary served them coffee.
Qian Zhe Lin sighed, "I didn’t expect this either..."
"This industry really relies on luck," Sheng Tang said, comforting him, "Maybe this year will be a bit better?"
"I think it’s quite difficult to turn things around," Qian Zhe Lin sighed, "The benefits from ’The Road To Heights’ have co to an end.
Sheng Tang, I really made a wrong decision at the ti, I shouldn’t have taken Yin Tong’s film. She’s in a stable position, unaffected, but I’m in a terrible situation."
Sheng Tang also felt that the entertainnt industry is that brutal.
"...Do you need my help?" Sheng Tang asked, "But I don’t know many people in the TV industry."
Qian Zhe Lin looked up, with a hint of plea in his eyes, "Can I be a minor character in your film?"
Sheng Tang was silent for a mont.
Qian Zhe Lin said, "I know this request is quite unreasonable, but I don’t know who to ask anymore. My agent is different from Ke Fei; once she sees I’m not rising, she treats coldly and almost doesn’t care about anymore."
Sheng Tang honestly said, "No, between friends, we should help each other. If it were , you would surely give a chance too. I’m hesitating because I haven’t taken on any roles yet.
I’ve not chosen a project; I don’t know if there’s a role for you. If I promise you, and let you down later, wouldn’t that be unkind?"
Qian Zhe Lin gave a bitter smile.
Sheng Tang continued, "Don’t be sad, really. I’ll definitely try my best, okay? I’ll try to find a role for you in my film; I’ll do my utmost."
Qian Zhe Lin felt a bit better.
"Thank you, Sheng Tang. People always say there are no real friends in this circle, but I know you’ve been very good to ," Qian Zhe Lin said.
Sheng Tang told him not to be so formal.
Supporting each other is the right thing to do.
She always felt good about Qian Zhe Lin, thinking he’s not deceitful and has so conscience.
After talking, Sheng Tang felt a bit heavy-hearted.
She had lunch with Ke Fei and talked about this matter.
Ke Fei said, "Given your current status, it shouldn’t be difficult to get a minor role for him in whatever big production you choose."
Sheng Tang nodded.
Ke Fei asked again, "Do you want to help him?"
"People won’t be unlucky forever. He asked for help, and it doesn’t harm my interests. Of course, I want to help him," Sheng Tang said, "Besides, we started out together; sohow, the sentint feels different.
I think if the roles were reversed and he was the successful one while I was down and out, he would also give a chance. Qian Zhe Lin is a good person."
Ke Fei also knew Qian Zhe Lin.
He agreed with Sheng Tang, Qian Zhe Lin is quite comndable in his conduct.
"Alright, we’ll see when the ti cos," Ke Fei said.
Regarding Sheng Tang’s new movie, Ke Fei also asked for her opinion.
"I’ve received over two hundred scripts altogether. Unstarted projects number over a hundred. Do you want to look at the ones I’ve selected, or do you want to see them all?" Ke Fei asked.
For other artists, they would definitely pick one from the projects chosen by their agent.
But Sheng Tang is different.
She chooses scripts by feeling.
Despite this, Ke Fei still sifts through ones he thinks are promising or have big investnts for her.
Sheng Tang smiled, "I’ll still look through all of them. Brother Fei, it’s not that I don’t trust you..."
"We’ve been working together for almost three years; don’t I know what you’re thinking?" Ke Fei said, "I’ll bring the scripts to you later."
Sheng Tang thanked him.
After lunch, Sheng Tang and Ai’ai carried a big pile of scripts back to Gu Jiahui’s apartnt.
She was about to start choosing scripts again.
’White Snake’ requires a lot of effects and CGI characters; it will probably take a year and a half to complete, so it can’t be released quickly this ti.
If Sheng Tang doesn’t find a suitable movie, she plans to film two dramas this year.
