Chapter 522

Max is a very direct person, and he can't be tactful and hypocritical.

So he opened his mouth and said:

"Miss Jian, I took the liberty to come here today. Apart from apologizing for what happened in the morning, I also want to ask Miss Jian to treat my illness."

"I heard from Valentina that you know a very miraculous oriental medicine technique, that is, you can save a person's life by pricking your body a few times with silver needles."

"To be honest, I'm sick, and my health is getting worse every year. What I'm most afraid of is that I won't see the completion of the filming of 'Nirience' and it's the most labor-intensive work in my life."

"I want to finish it alive, and I hope Miss Jane can help me."

After Max finished speaking, seeing Jian Xiao's expression remained unchanged, he hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and continued:
"In exchange, I can give you the role of Feng Ling, but the premise is that you can't be much worse than the other two actors in the subsequent assessment."

"You know, I have always been a perfectionist when it comes to my works, and I hope to choose the most suitable actor to play the role of Feng Ling."

"But right now, in order to ask you to treat the disease, I am willing to make appropriate concessions."

For a director who has been harsh on his works all his life to say such a thing, it can be seen that his fear of the loss of life has reached its peak.

He is afraid of death, afraid of death, and wants to live and continue to complete the "nihilation" universe.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, he would rather give up the principle that he has adhered to all his life, and make concessions in casting.

After hearing this, Jian Xiao nodded;

"Yes, I promise."

She is not a fool, there is no reason to refuse such an exchange, after all, why should she not want the benefits?

Compared with some people in the circle who obtained roles through dirty means, she felt that she was much more normal.

Jian Xiao needs this role to maintain her acting career for decades to come, and she needs the energy brought by this role to pay off her debts.

Therefore, she doesn't have to be so noble as to refuse the benefits offered by Max.

What's more, Jian Xiao didn't think that she would be worse than Yu Xiaoxiao and Du Ruo, and she also firmly believed that her performance would definitely not be bad.

Even if she followed the normal casting procedures, she might not lose the election.

Reaching a deal with Max now is just an extra insurance.

"Mr. Max, please extend your hand. I need to feel your pulse." Jian Xiao said to Max, "The medical skills I have learned are different from what you have been exposed to before. Our Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, and asking..."

As she spoke, she popularized some of the theories of traditional Chinese medicine for treating diseases.

Max listened very carefully, even though he didn't understand some vocabulary very well, he could tell that Jian Xiao was not perfunctory, but was really stating his illness to him.

Jian Xiao felt Max's pulse, during which she frowned slightly and asked:
"Mr. Max, do you often feel weak in your limbs, have difficulty breathing occasionally, and have difficulty swallowing and speaking from time to time?"

After hearing this, Max slowly showed a smile on his face:
"Miss Jian, you are indeed a very good doctor. You just took the pulse once and you knew my symptoms."

After saying this, he asked his assistant to hand Jian Xiao the medical information he carried with him.

After Jian Xiao got it, she flipped through it carefully. From the first page to the last page, it contained the process of Mr. Max's first illness four years ago and the many treatments in between.

And his disease, there is a professional term in medicine, called:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Also known as motor neuron disease, Charcot disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, or... ALS.
