As the system had mentioned, the actors in "Pure Yuan Musk Transmission" were all excellent, and the lead and supporting roles were classic. Any choice would be good.
As Jiang Ling's thoughts raced, she had already figured out which role she should play.
Since the system had arranged this drama, the script had likely been sent over, and she couldn't miss it.
Jiang Ling picked up her phone, about to call Sister Sa.
However, before she could even dial, Sister Sa's call came through first.
"Lingzi, Lingzi, I've found a great script, written exceptionally well. If you can play the lead, your career will definitely reach a new level."
On the other end of the phone, Sister Sa's tone was incredibly excited, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Listening, Jiang Ling could guess which script it was and asked with feigned calmness, "What's it called?"
"Pure Yuan Musk Transmission!"
Jiang Ling hummed, "Bring it over for me to see. I've been bored out of my mind lately."
"Sure thing!"
With Shanghai's traffic congestion, Sister Sa rode her beloved electric scooter and delivered the script to Jiang Ling.
Looking at the familiar lines and plot in the script, Jiang Ling felt her blood begin to surge.
Various famous scenes from her past life flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.
After pretending to read for a long time, Jiang Ling suppressed her inner excitement and said, "This script is good. Ask them if it's okay, and if so, let's secure it."
"Okay!"
Although Sister Sa had a sharp tongue and wasn't particularly sharp-witted, her professional ability was excellent.
With one phone call, she concisely expressed their intention to cooperate to the production team.
The director of this drama, Zheng Xiaolong, had incidentally seen Jiang Ling's performance of Jiang Yuyan's darkening arc a while ago and was deeply impressed by her acting, thus wanting to find an opportunity for Jiang Ling to act in his play.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this thought arose, Jiang Ling's agent called to say that Jiang Ling wanted to act in his new play.
This was truly a case of the right person arriving at the right time.
After his initial delight, Zheng Xiaolong began to worry.
The reason was that after he bought the novel rights for "Pure Yuan Musk Transmission," when his wife adapted it into a script, Zheng Xiaolong had not yet seen Jiang Ling's performance.
Despite the news praising Jiang Ling's acting skills to the heavens, as a traditional and upright great director, he paid no heed to such news.
By the time he was amazed by Jiang Ling's acting, he had already signed a contract with a powerful actress in the industry, designating her to play the lead role, Zhen Huan.
This actress was named Sun Li, a graduate of a formal acting academy. Although young, her talent was considerable, her work ethic was good, and she possessed a clear and gentle face.
Although Sun Li's popularity, in the eyes of the public, did not match that of the current popular young actresses or idols, her slow and steady development promised great flavors, and in time, her achievements would be extraordinary.
This time, fearing that her schedule might not align, he had confirmed her early.
Now that Jiang Ling had agreed to act, with her current status and influence, would she agree to play a supporting role to a less popular actress?
Zheng Xiaolong had not interacted with Jiang Ling before and was unaware of her temperament, fearing that if he mentioned it, Jiang Ling might simply refuse and leave.
After much deliberation, Zheng Xiaolong called Sister Sa again and tactfully expressed the idea of playing a supporting role.
Upon hearing this, Sister Sa was furious.
What status does my Lingzi have? How dare you ask her to play a supporting role? This is simply too much of an insult.
But then she thought, Jiang Ling's previous role as Jiang Yuyan was also a supporting role. It was best to ask for her opinion first.
