Li Qiyu was certain that there was a lot of hidden meaning in Song Yi'an's words.
If you replaced "they" with "her" and "those people in the company" with "Li Qiyu" herself, the doting and ambiguity in his words were almost overflowing.
Li Qiyu blushed at his words. She coughed and reminded Song Yi'an to be more careful.
They were in front of the elders. Don't act so recklessly.
Hearing this, Li Xiangping was in a difficult position. "So what you mean is that the choice of the actor can't be changed?"
"Yes." Song Yi'an answered firmly. But then Li Qiyu suddenly thought of something. "Yi'an, after all, Xi Chi is our younger sister. We can't really just leave her alone. I have an idea. Since it's not easy to change the leading actress, we can change the supporting roles, right? Giving her a chance to show up is also an explanation to Dad and Aunt Jiang."
Actually, Li Xiangping didn't care whether Li Xichi could act or not. The main purpose of his visit this time was to persuade Song Yi'an to change his mind and not to choose Ming Yuezhu.
But both Li Qiyu and Song Yi'an had made concessions. Considering Song Yi'an's current status, Li Xiangping didn't dare to push too hard. He could only answer with a bitter face, "It's still Xiaoyu who cares about her younger sister."
Song Yi'an was confused. He looked at Li Qiyu doubtfully and asked, "Then according to you, what kind of role should we arrange for her?"
Li Qiyu had read the script of *The Chronicles of Spring and Yu*. She had also put forward some suggestions. To show Zhou Donglin's deep love, a control group was necessary.
The control group was Song Jiaye and his harem.
Yes, when discussing the script, Li Qiyu had put forward these points. How could Wang Shu dare not agree to her suggestions?
So, on the surface, it was just an ordinary group discussion.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Shu went to the screenwriter. "This is an ancestor. You must listen to her. Add everything she suggested!"
Li Qiyu said with a smile, "There's a role of a noble concubine in the movie. I think it's very suitable for Xichi. Xichi has a beautiful face, looking elegant and noble. She looks like someone of high status."
When Li Qiyu praised Zhong Yuxiu's face, she was really sincere.
After all, it was her own face. Even an ugly woman would think it was beautiful.
Song Yi'an frowned. He really hadn't read the script. He was too busy these days to have the time.
But he had heard that Li Xichi's acting skills had declined. The director had directly said that she didn't know how to act. She was just like a newbie who had never been in a crew.
Could such a Li Xichi still act?
But Li Qiyu seemed very confident about this. She patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry. She can definitely take on this role."
Playing herself, no one was more suitable than her.
Song Yi'an thought that Li Qiyu just didn't want Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng to be disappointed, so he nodded.
It was just a favor. He could just do it. But he would have to go and have a drink with the director to ask him to be more tolerant.
Of course, he wasn't doing it for Li Xiyu, but for Li Qiyu who had made this decision.
With this director's temper, if he knew that Li Qiyu had stuffed someone in, he would surely lose his temper.
Since both Song Yi'an and Li Qiyu had to go to work, and it was time for Li Tong to go to school, Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng didn't stay long. They left after sitting for a while.
Jiang Yongfeng had been in the room with Li Tong and didn't know the result. So as soon as she got in the car, she started to inquire.
"How about it? Did they agree?"
"They agreed to let Xichi play a supporting role, but they didn't agree to replace Ming Yuezhu."
"Just a supporting role." There was a bit of disappointment in Jiang Yongfeng's words, but she quickly adjusted her mood. "A supporting role is okay too. Having a chance to show up in such a big movie will make Xichi's life better."
Hearing this, Li Xiangping had a headache.
"What do you mean 'okay'? Ming Yuezhu is the leading actress. What's left for our Xichi? Moreover, do you really think they can't change the leading actress? They just don't want to. Old Mr. Song has always had a better relationship with the Ming family. Now letting Ming Yuezhu be the leading actress is probably at Old Mr. Song's instruction."
"But we are in-laws with the Song family. Old Mr. Song also talked nicely to you before. How come..."
"Do you think Old Mr. Song is a simple person? He has a lot of schemes in his mind."
Li Xiangping sighed. Although this son - in - law had a noble status, he was not easy to control.
What was even more annoying was that after today's conversation, he clearly felt that his daughter was drifting away from him. She was clearly siding with her husband.
Li Xiangping sighed. He couldn't scold Song Yi'an, and he was reluctant to scold Li Qiyu. So he could only get angry at Jiang Yongfeng. He blamed her in frustration, "You! You! I'm not kidding. I used to tell Xichi not to be a star, but you said it was her dream and forced me to support her. Over the years, I've spent a lot of money on cultivating Xichi, haven't I? I've even given her several endorsement deals for the Li Corporation. Her advertisements are everywhere on the subway and the bus. Which newbie can have such treatment? I've paved the way for her to this extent, but she still can't seize the opportunity. I've heard that Xichi was rejected because of her poor performance during the director's audition. If Xichi had performed better, Ming Yuezhu wouldn't have had a chance!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yongfeng naturally felt wronged.
Now Xichi basically had amnesia just like Xiaoyu. And when Xiaoyu had amnesia, Li Xiangping was kind to her and even took care of her himself.
They were both his daughters, but to Xichi, he was so mean - spirited and even forced Xichi to do things.
What a double standard!
Jiang Yongfeng had resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it. She knew that saying anything now would make Li Xiangping angry. She could only nod meekly and say, "Yes, I'll surely discipline her well when I get back."
On the other side, Song Yi'an and Li Qiyu were both getting ready to go to work. Li Tong had also packed his schoolbag and was going to kindergarten with them.
At the company entrance, Li Qiyu was about to get out of the car and transfer to a bus to go to work. Just as she was about to open the car door, Song Yi'an suddenly called out to her.
"Xiaoyu."
"Huh?" Li Qiyu turned around and looked at him in confusion.
There were no longer Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng around. Why was he calling her so affectionately? It gave her the creeps.
"Can you say 'we' again?"
"Say what?"
"We."
"We?" Li Qiyu repeated like a parrot.
Song Yi'an nodded and gave a soft "um". He was satisfied.
"Okay, go to work. I won't hold you up."
Li Qiyu got out of the car in confusion. She just couldn't figure out what had gotten into Song Yi'an.
And Song Yi'an, who was still sitting in the car, was smiling like a fool.
In the morning, hearing Li Qiyu say "we" one after another made him feel extremely satisfied.
He liked this word.
He liked to be with her and become "we".
