The script that Ding Shan had chosen was called ‘White fireworks.’ The director, Lin Bin, was not very famous. In his early years, he had been shooting literary films and had only gained some popularity in the literary and artistic youth circle. Later on, he filmed two commercial movies. Although the box office was not bad, the reputation had not been outstanding. ‘White Fireworks’ happened to be the director’s transformation work.
The film was about the emotional entanglement between two women and a man.
The female lead, Bai Lu, was a na?ve girl who had just graduated from University. During her internship, she met the handsome and rich boss, Tang Shan. The two of them fell in love very quickly. However, Bai Lu did not know that Tang Shan was already married and had a child.
Tang Shan and his wife, Xu Zhen, had been married for eight years. The two of them got married because Xu Zhen was pregnant. When Xu Zhen was pregnant, they only knew each other for a month.
The two of them got married in a hurry, but after they got married, they discovered that the other party was not the lover they had imagined, and their conflict became increasingly apparent.
Xu Zhen had given up on her career because of marriage and family. She was very regretful and dissatisfied about this, but she also felt that her husband did not understand her, so she often argued with him. At first, Tang Shan was still coaxing Xu Zhen, but as time passed, he grew tired of it and ignored the noisy Xu Zhen.
After meeting Bai Lu, the forty-year-old Tang Shan seemed to have regained the feeling of youth. He and Bai Lu traveled to many places and even gave Bai Lu a custom-made diamond ring with the meaning ‘The love of my life.’
However, the sweet bubble would burst one day. Xu Zhen found out that Tang Shan had cheated on her. She was so angry that she was about to go crazy. The first thing she did was to find out all the information about Bai Lu.
She went straight to Tang Shan’s company and slapped Bai Lu in front of everyone. After she returned, Xu Zhen sent a message to all of Bai Lu’s family and friends, telling them that Bai Lu was a b*tch who broke up with other people’s families.
Bai Lu, who had no idea what was happening, finally discovered that Tang Shan was a married man. However, it was all too late. Bai Lu had already become a shameless b*tch who had seduced him in everyone’s eyes. Bai Lu’s parents were heartbroken and embarrassed. Her father was so angry that he had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
Bai Lu’s world had collapsed. She even felt that she was a sinner. Every night, she would receive cursed text messages from Xu Zhen.
Just like that, Bai Lu finally broke down. On new year’s day, she jumped off a building to end her life accompanied by fireworks.
The story told in the movie was not complicated. Although there were conflicts, it depended on the director’s expertise to capture the attention of the picky audience.
At first, Xiao Zhao didn’t think much of the director of ‘White fireworks,’ Lin Bin, but Ding Shan felt that Lin Bin was planning to polish his work this time and then hit the domestic film awards.
Lin Bin did not earn much money from literary films in his early years. He was so poor that he could barely afford his rent. Later, he went on to film commercial movies and earned some money, but no one thought of him as a good director. Most people recognized his marketing skills, and his works were known as ‘fast food’ films.
Now that Lin Bin was rich, the thing he wanted to do the most was to prove himself.
It proved that he was not a director who only knew how to make money!
“Sister Shan, have you thought about it? The second female lead in this movie, Xu Zhen, is a lunatic. Even I feel scared when I read about her. Do you want to play this role?” Xiao Zhao confirmed again.
Ding Shan nodded. “I only want to act as Xu Zhen.”
“Okay, I’ll contact the Director.” Xiao Zhao kept the script.
Although she still did not understand Ding Shan’s choice, she still believed in it. Ding Shan must have her reasons for doing this. She just had to support Ding Shan’s choice.
“By the way, sister Shan, your popularity will rise to a new level after the variety show airs. By then, there will be more companies wanting to work with you. At that time, I will help you see if there are any suitable scripts. It’s okay for you to take on fewer scripts now. Who knows, there might be better scripts in the future.” Xiao Zhao said.
“Yes, after the variety show is over, I’m guessing there will be some newcomers in the studio. If there are suitable resources by then, it would be good to give them.
By the way, sister Shan, how great would it be if we could sign this Mysterious X? With his face, it would be fine even if he doesn’t have any acting skills! Sister Shan, you still don’t know, right? That Mysterious Person X was very popular now. In just three days, his fans had exceeded 1.5 million! He’s almost catching up to Wen Xiu!” Xiao Zhao exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.
