PDLP Chapter 64 Heroine
Chapter 64 Heroine
Inside the venue, Lin Qian asked Jiang Songchu to perform a fight scene from the play, mainly to see in person how good Jiang Songchu's martial arts skills were.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Songchu decided to perform the scene where the female lead, Chi Jiangli, fights with the male lead, Yan Congchou.
When Jiang Songchu gently picked up the prop sword, her body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and her aura changed drastically.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was sharp as a knife, yet mixed with an indescribable pain, as if a silent storm was raging deep within her heart.
She took a deep breath, her breath filled with determination and resilience, as if she wanted to concentrate all her emotions into the sword.
Then, she slowly raised her sword, its tip pointing straight to the sky. At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to be drawn by her sharp aura and began to tremble slightly, as if even heaven and earth were moved by her imposing presence.
As Jiang Songchu's movements unfolded, her swordsmanship was fluid and powerful, with each move revealing her profound understanding of swordsmanship and her superb skills.
Her figure leaped and twirled across the field, her sword flashing like mercury, penetrating every crevice, each swing of her sword like weaving a beautiful painting.
However, hidden within this sharpness and beauty lies an unspeakable pain.
Every time the sword tip sliced through the air, creating a gust of wind, Jiang Songchu's brows would furrow slightly, as if he were recalling vivid memories of the past. Each swing of the sword seemed to be an expression of the pain and struggle in his heart.
Her swordsmanship became even more ferocious as a result, each strike as if she were venting all the pain in her heart, and the air seemed to be torn apart wherever the tip of her sword passed.
Finally, when Jiang Songchu completed the last movement, she twirled her sword beautifully and stood with her hands behind her back.
At that moment, the entire space seemed to stand still.
Lin Qian, who was standing to the side, was filled with shock and ecstasy from the moment Jiang Songchu's aura changed.
Isn't this the feeling he wanted?
That feeling of perfectly blending pain and resilience, and merging emotion and swordsmanship into one.
That feeling that perfectly captures the complex emotions Chi Jiangli feels when she encounters Yan Congchou again at the martial arts tournament.
Recalling Jiang Songchu's swordsmanship, the smooth and powerful swordsmanship was even more impressive than that of a martial arts master, which amazed Lin Qian.
Then, seeing Jiang Songchu's face, as delicate and beautiful as a newly blooming rose, with sparkling eyes and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, carrying a hint of unruliness and arrogance, made it impossible to look away.
Lin Qian jumped up immediately, his voice filled with excitement and joy: "Chi Jiangli! This is Chi Jiangli!"
Chen Yun smiled with narrowed eyes. She had already noticed that Jiang Songchu's martial arts were extraordinary, but she did not expect that Jiang Songchu could grasp the details of the performance so well.
To be able to bring the emotions and expressions of a character so naturally to life without any formal acting training is truly a gifted talent.
However, Chen Yun stopped Lin Qian from continuing to roar, fearing that someone might misunderstand if they heard him.
She said softly, "Director Lin, please keep your voice down, don't scare Songchu."
"Besides, Song Chu was originally the female lead's stunt double; she is Chi Jiang Li."
Lin Qian listened to Chen Yun's words and stopped making any more excited noises, but his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally took Chen Yun aside and spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ah Yun, I want Jiang Songchu to be the female lead in 'Red Clouds and Glass'."
"She's not a stunt double, she's the real female lead."
Chen Yun was startled upon hearing this, her mind racing.
She hadn't expected Lin Qian to approve of Jiang Songchu so much, but thinking of the already chosen female lead, Qiao Yi, she paused slightly, noticing a hint of worry in Chen Yun's voice.
"Lin Qian, this is not appropriate. You have already chosen the female lead."
"Moreover, your drama has already started filming. Changing the actress after the official announcement of the female lead will cause a huge uproar."
"Also, Songchu is still a high school freshman, so she definitely doesn't have that much time to film right now."
"Let's consider the next project!"
With each sentence Chen Yun spoke, Lin Qian's head drooped a little more.
But he still protested, saying, "Joey's performance really insulted my reputation. If it weren't for Yangming Entertainment..."
At this point, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Ayun, I have a way to get Qiao Yi to quit voluntarily."
“I originally didn’t want to choose Joey as the female lead. She used tricks to get in, but that doesn’t stop me from using tricks to make her leave.”
Lin Qian's words carried a hint of determination and ruthlessness.
"I will have them issue a statement; it won't affect the filming."
"As for Jiang Songchu's filming schedule, I can postpone it until she has her winter break for intensive filming."
Lin Qian had already thought out all the plans.
"what do you think?"
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Chen Yun was somewhat surprised, but she didn't want to ask him about his situation with Yangming Entertainment.
After a moment of thought, she said, "I can't reply to you right now. I need to confirm with Songchu."
"Furthermore, I hope you won't act impulsively."
Chen Yun's words carried a hint of admonition.
"If you think Joey is really not suitable, talk it over properly and don't make things too ugly."
"Once you confirm that the female lead role is vacant, and Song Chu is also interested, I will bring her to the audition."
Lin Qian nodded repeatedly; he couldn't stand Qiao Yi anymore.
Despite lacking acting skills, she managed to secure numerous resources through cunning tactics.
If he hadn't been tricked by the people from Yangming Entertainment, the female lead wouldn't have been Qiao Yi.
Having made up his mind, Lin Qian didn't say anything more, but decided to suspend the filming plan.
This is because Lin Qian has plenty of money and can afford to build, so he can stop whenever he wants.
Chen Yun then took Jiang Songchu back to the hotel.
The three planned to explore Nanguan City thoroughly the next day. Since it was already dark, they decided not to rush back now that they were there, and could take their time to experience the unique charm of the city.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned on the set of "Red Clouds and Glass," with everyone frantically tidying up the place.
Just now, Lin Qian made Qiao Yi try out the scene again, which had been NG'd more than twenty times, and the result was still as bad as ever.
Lin Qian could no longer hold back and announced directly: "All filming plans are suspended!"
Subsequently, considering the potential impact, director Lin Qian called Qiao Yi and her agent, Sister Zhang, aside. With an undeniable and resolute tone, he clearly and decisively announced the decision to have Qiao Yi withdraw from the "Red Clouds and Glass" production team.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi's face paled instantly, and she was about to utter angry words when Sister Zhang, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped her.
Sister Zhang frowned, her doubts and confusion evident in her expression. She pressed on, "Why? If it's just a matter of acting skills, we can work on it more."
After making his decision, Lin Qian felt a great sense of relief. He had regained his composure and stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze. His tone was icy and his voice carried an unyielding tone.
"You all know better than I how you got this role!"
