After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "I thought you changed your mind."

"terribly sorry."

"You don't have to be so polite. This is a two-way choice process, but I still take the liberty to ask, are you sure about the role you are going to audition for next month?" Su Yuefei asked.

"To be honest, no." Jiang Xiaobai did not avoid this question, "not only did I not be sure, I even didn't know what role I was in the election."

After she said that, Su Yuefei was stunned, "Are you saying that the crew auditioned in a confidential manner throughout the whole process and did not reveal any information about the script?"

“That’s how it is.”

Su Yuefei seemed to be blocked by a breath of depression. He didn't know if it was a worry or something, so he sighed, "Ha... well."

Jiang Xiaobai frowned.

"I originally thought you were special, but now it seems that you are the same as Cheng Yu, just wanting to squeeze into the foreign film industry. Since you are not in China, I won't force it. I hope you get what you want."

"Director Su, you probably misunderstood something."

Jiang Xiaobai felt that it was necessary to explain, "I want to challenge the foreign film industry. This is right, but I didn't give up the domestic scripts. No matter what, I will shoot at least one or two films and TV works in China every year. If you don't choose, you are just a simple conflict of time. In addition, I don't think it's wrong to focus abroad like Sister Yu. This is her personal choice, and I am the same."

"In addition, I have to mention something to you. Recently, there are two works I have liked, and there is another one in addition to you, which is also very good. However, based on time, I gave up your movie and chose it that will start in a few months. I think I personally call you this phone number is my sincerity. I absolutely don't mean to watch you or the crew."

After saying this long list of words, Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry this time, but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future, so I won't bother you now."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai waited for a few seconds, and saw that there was no movement on the other side. After saying goodbye, he hung up the phone first.

Su Yuefei stood by the window at home, holding a cell phone in his hand. He watched the call break, but he was still holding it, his eyes were a little confused.

He lit a cigarette with his other hand, and gradually, ash fell down. He shrank his fingers in pain, and then he woke up.

His wife came over with a fruit plate, and when she saw him, she was a little worried, "Are you still worried about the new drama? Didn't you say that the investment and everything will be in place this time, and you'll just wait for the filming to start normally next month?"

Su Yuefei pinched off the cigarette, turned around, and sat on the sofa next to him.

"I used many years of personal relationships to get the investment. Success or failure is all achieved in one fell swoop." He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If it succeeds, then I will be the last one to leave in the TV circle. If it fails... I will be sorry to those friends."

"The doctor said that you should calm down and not work hard, but you just don't listen. You are worried about work every day. Look at how white your hair has been in the past two years?" His wife felt a little distressed, "You said you were going to shoot the last drama, and I promised you, but how could you do this? Last night, I woke up when I was thirsty and saw that you were not next to me. When I went outside the study, I saw that the light was indeed on. Do you have to overdraw yourself like this?"

As she said that, she felt her throat choking and her eyes were a little wet.

Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Su Yuefei is also a famous director in the circle, but his career has some ups and downs. Sometimes he films dramas, sometimes he is mediocre and is ridiculed. Other directors may film dramas for fame or profit, but Su Yuefei's family is well off and he could not have suffered this hardship.

In order to make good movies, he has been to the mountains, deserts, and borders. He has lived in any difficult environment. He really loves this career. No matter whether his previous works are popular or not, he has never had the intention to leave.

Until... I was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

He has not had much time and the possibility of being cured is less than one-tenth. The doctors say that he is best to rest and actively cooperate with the treatment. The most important thing is not to worry about his health. This may be better.

But Su Yuefei didn't want to rest. He insisted on filming a drama at the end. He wanted to do it perfectly, which was the most profound ending for his life.

For those who have been a director for most of their lives, perhaps only one good work is the evidence that he has been there. Even if the condition worsens, his lifespan is shortened.

But his wife felt very distressed and often shed tears in the middle of the night.

"There are all other things, but the two protagonists are still undecided. The male protagonist is fine. I still have many choices here, but the heroine is of great importance, so this cannot be made up for it." Su Yuefei took a sip of water and sighed.

"Director? Didn't you say you think Jiang Xiaobai is very suitable?" the wife asked in confusion.

"The invitation to her was actually very early, but her agent has never agreed. He said that Jiang Xiaobai had a full schedule and had been traveling back and forth this month, so he couldn't decide on this matter. I called her personally the day before yesterday and asked. She said she would discuss it with Jiang Xiaobai, but there might be conflicts in time." Su Yuefei shook his head, "I just got the right words, and time is indeed not good."

"How could this happen..." Mrs. Su was also worried.

"I misunderstood her. I thought she wouldn't look at domestic dramas if she became popular like Cheng Yu. I didn't expect that it was a real conflict in the itinerary. I blamed me for being too impatient recently."

Su Yuefei covered his eyes with some fatigue and rubbed them with his palms.

"What should I do now? Jiang Xiaobai can't do it, so why don't you? Didn't you say that she took the initiative to express her willingness to participate after hearing the news?" Mrs. Su suggested, "Children's acting skills are also good, and it shouldn't be a big problem for her to play Xue Yunzhu."

"She has good acting skills, but the temperament and style she shows are not very consistent with the role, and the words "childhood and beauty" are not related to her. She does not conform to my aesthetic." Su Yuefei raised her head, "It's the last drama, I want to be more willful."

"But your willful person can't film. What should I do? You have to find a heroine! Otherwise, filming will start next month. Wouldn't it be even harder to find an actor who suits you like?" Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel anxious for him, "You can't stop filming this drama!"
