Ji Hanxue nodded. "The entire central thread of this story is the female lead. She's the drama queen. Only when the female lead is chosen can the tone of the story be set. Shi Jin, has anyone been chosen in your heart?"
"What about you, Director Ji?"
"Child, are you trying to trick me? Come, let's put our candidate on paper and see if our thoughts match."
Shi Jin smiled, picked up a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down two names.
Ji Hanxue also wrote down two names.
"Let's open them together, Director Ji."
Shi Jin suggested.
Then, the two of them flipped open the paper in front of them. It was two identical names. "Zhang Xuelin, Yue Shuxin."
Shi Jin smiled. "It seems that great minds think alike. Zhang Xuelin has a face suitable for the movie screen. Her high-class looks don't lose to her oriental beauty. Yue Shuxin's face is more open, but biased towards the more western type. However, I have to say that both of them have a stubborn and unyielding aura. It suits the character setting very well."
"Yes, I think so too. Both of them have their own advantages. Zhang Xuelin is more stubborn, and Yue Shuxin's temperament is more natural. That depends on the choice. I think it's better to let the two of them come over and talk first. What do you think?"
"Sure."
Ji Hanxue had always been extremely strict in his selection of candidates. Sometimes, he even had to interview dozens of candidates for a movie, and there were many requirements in between.
However, because the quality of his work was guaranteed, no matter how strict he was, there were many female artistes who were willing to wait for his schedule.
This time, he only chose two candidates. Actually, it was because Shi Jin's character was very outstanding and convenient to choose. There was no need to consider too much.
Zhang Xuelin and Yue Shuxin were both famous female celebrities who had won many awards, but they had yet to reach the top. They cherished their opportunities to join the production teams and would usually not accept any movies that were not expected to be good.
After receiving Ji Hanxue's invitation, the two of them were very excited and came over without another word.
Both of them were very humble. When they sat in front of Ji Hanxue, they showed enough sincerity.
Shi Jin was pouring coffee for herself and helped the two of them pour a cup.
When they saw Shi Jin, they were both slightly surprised. Would Shi Jin also compete with them for this role?
Thinking of Shi Jin's family background and her husband, Fu Xiuyuan, both of them were a little worried.
Although the outside world knew that Ji Hanxue had always only sacrificed for art and had never been coerced by capital, his reputation had always been very secure over the years. However, if the capital behind this was strong enough, such as being as strong as Fu Xiuyuan, it was hard to say.
In particular, Shi Jin's attitude did not seem like she was here to discuss the script. Instead, she looked like the master, which made the two of them even more uneasy.
After Shi Jin poured the coffee, she chose a seat and sat down to listen.
Ji Hanxue did not reveal her identity and only said, "Shi Jin is not here to run for the female lead this time."
Zhang Xuelin and Yue Shuxin heaved a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that they would not be able to compete with Shi Jin. After all, other than the capital behind her, Shi Jin's acting skills were also obvious.
"She will work with me as my assistant for the time being," Ji Hanxue said. "She will also work with us in the future."
"Director Ji, will we audition?" Zhang Xuelin asked first.
"Not at the moment. I'd like to observe both of you a little longer to see who fits our script better. Can you understand that?"
This was also a common way for Ji Hanxue to choose his artists. He had never been stingy with his time.
