Chapter 41: Interview

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Xiangxiang, lend me a hundred thousand yuan." Li Xiangling didn't beat about the bush.

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you now." Yun Xiangxiang picked up her phone without any hesitation. She used the bank's app to transfer a hundred thousand from her personal account to Li Xiangling's card.

"Don't you need to ask me the reason? Or when would I return it?" Li Xiangling didn't need to say what she had prepared.

"We grew up together. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"

Yun Xiangxiang finished her broth, "You wouldn't have asked for my help if it wasn't an emergency. As for when will the money be returned, I believe that you will do it the first chance you get. Also, I don't really need the money now. Sleep early, I am feeling really tired."

It was fortunate that a bowl of bird's nest wasn't really burdening the stomach. Yun Xiangxiang really didn't want to wait. She pushed Li Xiangling out of her room; bade her goodnight; washed up and immediately hit the hay.

Yun Xiangxiang's circadian clock woke her up in the morning. She dragged Song Meng and Li Xiangling for some morning workout in the hotel's gym.

They showered before having their breakfast at eight o'clock. Han Jing was also having her breakfast at this time. Everyone finished their breakfast together and took a short break before heading for the TV station.

The programme's person in charge and the host welcomed them. The programme was called "Filmmakers". It was an interview show that talked about films.

Yun Xiangxiang donned a casual outfit and applied some nude makeup then sat mellowly beside Han Jing.

The host was a very friendly man and talked in a graceful manner. He was a graduate of Communication University of China [1] and looked around thirty years old.

"Teacher Han, what was your purpose in shooting this film?" The host asked the question according to what they agreed on.

Han Jing and Yun Xiangxiang had reviewed the content of the interview in the morning. Programmes like this usually wouldn't talk about personal topics. It was just to let the interviewee prepare themselves so that they would look more natural on the camera.

"This story was based on a true story that I heard when I was in a charity that was helping the poor. I was upset when I heard it at the time so I wanted to jot it down after that."

Han Jing answered, "I wanted to shoot it as a promotional video at first. Then Xiangxiang infused real emotions into it. I feel that the movie wasn't just a retelling of a story that happened. It was an authentic recreation of the story."

"Seems that Teacher Han has quite a high opinion on Xiangxiang. Any special reasons for that?"

"She has a lot of likable quirks." Han Jing wasn't ambiguous with her praise when it comes to Yun Xiangxiang, "Hardworking; enduring; dedicated; passionate about films; resilient; tenacious; great temperament; great personality... I haven't found any flaws on her until now."

It is rare to hear any seniors praising a newcomer as dedicated now. Can you give some examples?"

"There are too many..." Han Jing paused for a while, "I'll give some typical ones. We were shooting a theme that revolves around families that live in the slums. I had her to become unrecognizably thin before we started filming.

Such a young lady forcibly tore her legs until bloody blisters appeared just because she wanted to match the character during filming. Her legs were so roughed up and cracked there wasn't even any good skin on it.
