Chapter 200: Legend of Gan Lan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Far away in Jingdu City, Jiang An also saw the script in her email. “All! I forgot to read the script Sister Bing sent!”

Jiang An frowned and quickly downloaded the document that had yet to be unzipped.

Golden Star Entertainment Company had already started operating normally, and Jiang Huai had also gone to the company to preside over the overall situation. Jiang An had been very free these two days, and she had not been very satisfied with the scripts she had been reading recently. The endorsement advertisement would only be filmed next week. When she had nothing to do, she would go online to clear her email. If not for this, she would probably not remember this script for another month.

Initially, she was just flipping through it. Unexpectedly, Jiang An was deeply attracted by the plot. The more she read, the more fascinated she became. Other than eating, she did nothing but read the script. She read till the sun rose. Jiang An’s eyes were bloodshot from staying up late, but she could not wait to call Zhao Bing.

As soon as she picked up the call, Jiang An immediately said excitedly, “Sister Bing, I want to take on that movie.”

Zhao Bing was still half-asleep and could not react in time. She only remembered the name of the drama she liked the most. “Which drama is it? ‘The Long River’?”

Jiang An replied, “No, it’s ’The Legend of Gan Lan’ that you sent me more than a month ago.”

Legend of Ganlan? Zhao Bing thought for more than ten seconds before she remembered whose novel it was. She yawned and sat up. “Director Gu Sheng’s female lead drama? Nowadays, the theme of transmigration is too common. The era drama ‘Long River’ is more realistic. The culture it displays is layered. The content of this drama is more sophisticated. There are many veteran actors in it. Moreover, it’s a mainstream drama.”

“1 know you don’t like to take on too many variety shows. Taking on this drama will help you walk in the direction of acting and also deepen the audience’s understanding of you. Although ‘Legend of Gan Lan’ focuses on the female lead and involves the righteousness of the country, it’s still a genre that leans towards ancient idol dramas.”

Jiang An naturally saw this point, but she also had her own thoughts. “Sister Bing, these advantages of ‘The Long River’ are also shortcomings. Such a drama will be a little boring. It mostly reflects the “human-eating” society in that era. Under feudal etiquette, every small figure’s fate is filled with the sorrow of wanting to give up but being unable to escape.”

“I admit that this is a good script, but I want to act as those tough characters. 1 know there are many such themes on the market, but Gan Lan is too attractive to me! You must not have finished reading the script, right? She was just a timid modern person at the beginning. Once she transmigrated back to the era more than 200 years ago, she just wanted to keep her life, so she didn’t dare to show her thoughts that were different from that era.”

“Such a time-traveling woman is completely different from those who always wanted to be in the limelight in the past. Her character went from cowardice to awakening. It took a long time of mental resistance before she began to resist the restraints of etiquette. She risked her life to develop the intelligence of the people and tried to find a way to save the country. This character is too charming, like the sun in the sky!”

Jiang An was very excited at this moment. Zhao Bing was also brought back to her senses by Jiang An’s emotions. She recalled the content of the script. At that time, she had followed her usual habit when reading scripts and just briefly flipped through it. Coupled with her prejudice against the theme, she did not pay much attention. “If it’s according to what you say, this character is indeed quite special. I’ll contact Director Gu first when it’s dawn.”

“But it’s been so long. Maybe he’s finished casting. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Jiang An sighed softly. She was a little annoyed that she had discovered it too late. “Alright, I’ll wait for your call.”

Gu Sheng had gone to the bank early in the morning. When he received the call, he was begging someone he knew at the bank to lend him more money. He had mortgaged all three houses under his wife’s name, but he had only gathered just over 30 million yuan. According to the budget, he would need at least 50 million yuan. Where should he find the rest of the money?

When he saw Zhao Bing’s call, Gu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat. He had waited for a month, but there was no reply. At that time, his first thought was that she had rejected him. After all, if she really liked that drama, she would have contacted him earlier.

However, since he already had the intention to film, Gu Sheng could no longer suppress this thought. After all, he had already suppressed it once. Now that he was middle-aged, he also wanted to be impulsive for a while. That was why he had the thought of mortgaging the properties..
