689: Believe In Her

Believe In Her

At the moment Huang Guoqiang remembered the script Jing Ruyue had left behind, he had a wild thought. He wanted Xu Xiyan to play a role in "Sceneries," to fulfill his promise to Jing Ruyue.0

"Are you asking me to be a part of it?" Xu Xiyan asked in surprise.

"Yes. I was about to ask you to play a part in 'The Beauty of the World' since we've finished with 'Red-Sleeved Beauty.' But now, I want you to play a part in your mother's script."

Huang Guoqiang had already made the preparations to take over "Sceneries," so much that he even handed "The Beauty of the World" over to Yang Yong.

"That would be my pleasure! Thank you so much!"

Xu Xiyan was so thankful to Huang Guoqiang. He was the first person who opened the gate to the acting industry to her, and now he was helping her fulfill her mother's dying wish.

"Good. I was afraid you might refuse it." Huang Guoqiang let out a sigh of relief and gave her the script. "Go back and have a look at it."

"Okay," Xu Xiyan said and kept the script. "Which minor role am I taking?"

Since she only had a minor role in her first film, she did not give much thought on her second film.

"The second female lead, Yun Qingge."

Huang Guoqiang felt that Xu Xiyan was the only person suitable for the role.

Even though the second female lead was an antagonist in the film, Huang Guoqiang believed that Xu Xiyan could turn the role into a more memorable character than the protagonist.

"The second female lead?" Xu Xiyan shrieked in awe. She could not believe that Huang Guoqiang would just hand the role over just like that.

If an antagonist was played well enough, it could leave a very impactful impression on the audience.

"What's the matter? If you don't like it, then you can play the female lead if you want to."

"No, it's not that… It's just that I was so surprised that you would ask me to take on that role. Thank you so much!"

"Don't worry about it," Huang Guoqiang smiled. "Just think of it as me repaying a huge favor."

Xu Xiyan was the one who had tied the red-string between him and Qi Liya, and now he was trying to repay her for that.

After talking over the details, Xu Xiyan stood up and was about to leave.

"Remember to come to the audition next month," Huang Guoqiang said.

"Sure thing."

Even though Xu Xiyan had landed the role, she still had to take part in the audition.

…

Xu Xiyan went back and started to read the script. She realized it was about how her mother went on a journey of love, something similar to the "Roman Holiday" role played by Audrey Hepburn.
