Chapter 276 Fighting for a Role
"You are so outstanding and charming that sometimes I really want to hide you so that others won't miss you, but I know you don't like that, and I will never force you to do something you don't like."
These words made Jiang Mubai's eyes red. Before the tears fell, she buried her head in Cheng Yunchuan's shoulder to prevent him from seeing this side of her.
Cheng Yunchuan touched her hair without saying anything, waiting quietly for her to recover.
"Given your personality, will you participate in the whole process?"
"Well, they'll give me the script in a few days, and casting should start soon."
"I quite like the character in your book. Why don't I audition? Then maybe we can work together again."
"Are you talking about the supporting role? Don't you mind that you are not the protagonist?"
"I don't have as much baggage as you think. The protagonist's image is different from mine and I'm not suitable for it, but I like the minor supporting role. The character you created is very interesting and has a distinct personality. I think it's good."
"When I first wrote it, I liked him more than the protagonist. To be honest, he has a bit of your shadow in him. I used you as a prototype for reference when I was writing it."
"Really? No wonder I felt a little familiar when I read the book. It turned out to be like this."
Cheng Yunchuan really didn't expect Jiang Mubai to write himself into the book. This was really surprising.
"If that's the case, then I should audition even more. I don't want to see anyone else play the role you wrote for me."
"Okay, then you can find an agent to audition for you. It's not up to me alone to decide whether you get the role or not, even though I really want you to play him."
"I understand. I am very confident in myself. You will also watch the audition, right? Then you can just watch my performance."
Then the two of them talked for a long time about the supporting character in the book. With Jiang Mubai telling him about the character's feelings and inner monologue, Cheng Yunchuan felt a little more confident.
"It feels so good to have someone give me some special advice. I thought I understood this character well, but after you explained it to me, I feel like I'm not familiar with him at all."
"Because I am the author, I gave him life and power, so I know what kind of person he is better than anyone else."
On the third day, Li Jingming sent the adapted script over. Jiang Mubai spent a day in the study reading it, marked the parts that needed improvement and modification, and then sent it back to Li Jingming.
"Take a look at this, will it be better after this modification?"
"Okay, I'll send it to the screenwriters and see what they say."
While Jiang Mubai was busy with her novel, she did not forget that she was a star. She had to go out to shoot a commercial the next day. Originally, Manman wanted to turn down the commercial because she saw that she was busy with the movie, but Jiang Mubai agreed to take it on her own initiative.
"Now I can make more money by filming more things. There are still many things I want to try in the future, and they all require money to support them."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai is so ambitious, Manman naturally won't discourage her. She also hopes that Jiang Mubai's career will get better and better.
The product he endorsed this time was the same brand as last time, but this time they had a new product and changed the packaging so they asked Jiang Mubai to shoot again. They kept Jiang Mubai shooting until it was dark.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jiang. We are all looking forward to hearing that your book will be adapted into a movie. We will all go to the cinema to support your movie."
Li Jingming's company released the news two days ago, so it's not surprising that they knew this.
"Thank you for your support. You have worked hard today."
Manman had been waiting outside for her to finish the photoshoot so that she could send her home. When she saw her come out, she went to greet her.
"Why did we take so long today? You must be tired. Let's go home. Wu You has already prepared dinner for us at home."
"Ah."
Jiang Mubai was so exhausted from the day's filming that he only ate a few bites of dinner, drank some soup, and went upstairs to rest.
She was woken up by her own fever in the middle of the night. She had been outside all day and was dressed coolly, so it would be strange if she didn't catch a cold.
Her throat was so dry that there was no water in the quilt on the bedside table. She turned on her cell phone and found that it was already past three forty in the morning. She wanted to ask Wu You to bring her some medicine, but Jiang Mubai didn't have the heart to wake her up at this time.
She had no choice but to drag her tired body downstairs to find medicine for herself. Fortunately, Wu You had organized everything very well, and Jiang Mubai didn't worry about the medicine at home expiration.
After drinking the medicine, she drank a large cup of hot water and then lay back on the bed. Her body was now burning with fever and the wet towel that had just been placed on her forehead was no longer cold. Jiang Mubai did not have the energy to go to the bathroom to change another one, so she had to wrap herself tightly in the quilt and wait for the sweat to come out.
The medicine took effect and the pain in her body was relieved a little. Jiang Mubai fell asleep in a daze. At five o'clock, she woke up once and touched her forehead to see that it was still a little hot. Then she hid back under the quilt.
When the clock pointed to ten o'clock, Wu You didn't see Jiang Mubai coming down from upstairs and then realized that he had a fever.
"I touched my forehead and it's still a little hot. Sister Mu Bai, please lie down for a while. I'll wet a towel for you and put it on your forehead to cool it down."
The towel on the bedside table was wetted again and placed on Jiang Mubai's forehead. "Why didn't you wake me up last night when you felt unwell? How uncomfortable must you be alone? You had to pour the water and get the medicine yourself. You just think too much."
"When you did this I thought you were helping me as an outsider."
Wu You's eyes became moist. Jiang Mubai was at a loss as to what to do. This result was not what she wanted to see, and she did not expect that Wu You would actually think this way.
"It's my fault. I promise I won't do this next time. I just didn't want to wake you up because I was afraid you would worry and disturb your sleep. Besides, it's just a cold, not a big deal. Am I fine now?"
"What if, what if you don't have enough energy to get the medicine and accidentally fall down the stairs? I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I promise you that I will never try to be brave by myself again next time."
Seeing Jiang Mubai say this, Wu You reluctantly held back her tears. "You haven't eaten anything this morning, so your stomach must be feeling uncomfortable. I'll go make you some porridge. After you have a bowl of porridge, I'll get you some medicine."
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Wu You told Manman that Jiang Mubai was ill. After hearing this, Manman immediately rushed to Jiang Mubai's house.
"No wonder I felt listless when I saw you yesterday. Were you already feeling unwell then and were forcing yourself to stay together? Next time you feel unwell, just tell us directly. At most, we can postpone the advertisement. We have the money to afford it. After all, health is the most important thing."
"Yes, Manman is right."
"Well, I see."
"You can take a few days off to rest while you're sick. I've seen you've been so busy lately that you don't have time to exercise. Your resistance must have dropped. You should exercise more when you recover."
"Yes, but I can't rest now. The film has just started and I want to participate in every aspect. As for exercise, I will find opportunities to exercise whenever I have time. Don't worry about me. I am already such a big person, don't worry."
