Chapter 1422: Shi Hanchu was the one that recommended her
Jiang Mingzhu knew that Director Chen Wenhua was nitpicky about the movies he directed. She initially thought she would have to wait until she was at the top again before working with him.
Unexpectedly, before they released her first movie, Director Chen Wenhua had personally called her to invite her for an audition.
“I’ve seen the trailer of ‘The Olden Days,’ and your performance in it wasn’t bad at all. Furthermore, Shi Hanchu has recommended you personally, so I’m letting you audition for this role!” Director Chen Wenhua said straightforwardly and proudly. “The character has a split personality. Playing this role is equivalent to playing two roles. The difficulty level is higher than the other character you played. I’ll get my assistant to send the script to your email. Take a look... if you think you can do it, try auditioning the day after tomorrow!”
“Okay, Director Chen. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint!” Su Manman calmed down her intense heartbeat as she replied.
After hanging up the call, Su Manman felt a little dazed.
It was Shi Hanchu that recommended her to Director Chen Wenhua!
She thought back to her collaboration with Shi Hanchu in “Silent Disaster.” She hadn’t expected that she would have the chance to work with Shi Hanchu again so soon.
Did this mean that even the gods were helping her?
Su Manman’s phone vibrated. She lowered her head and opened her email.
Director Chen Wenhua’s assistant was very efficient. He had already sent her the script.
Using this excuse, Su Manman feigned inexperience and sent Shi Hanchu a message.
[Su Manman: Director Chen called me and said that you personally recommended me to him. I’m a little nervous about the audition. If you don’t mind, can I trouble you to tell me about the things I should take note of?]
After sending the message, Su Manman called for Dong Dong, asking her to print out the script.
Even if it was just an audition scene, Su Manman still liked to have her script printed out on paper. It had been her habit for so many years, and she would feel like something missing if she didn’t have it.
When Dong Dong went to print the script for Su Manman, she almost screamed in excitement when she saw that it was a script for Director Chen Wenhua’s movie.
What did it mean to act in Director Chen Wenhua’s movie?
It meant that Su Manman was definitely going to win this year’s Best Newcomer Award. She might even be able to snatch the Best Actress Award. There had been no newcomers who had won the Best Actress Award in so long!
But being able to win the newcomer award was already very impressive!
Winning the newcomer award would seal Su Manman’s standing in the future. She would definitely be one of the top actresses.
As Dong Dong printed out the script, she thought about the future excitedly.
Su Manman received the script that had been printed out and started flipping through it.
Time was tight. She had to go for the audition the day after tomorrow...
After reading the entire script, Su Manman understood what Director Chen Wenhua wanted to achieve. Her heart pounded.
Director Chen Wenhua wanted to create a Chinese version of a fictional universe in which superheroes live, just like the Marvel Universe from the western world.
There were so many mythologies about Mountain Gods, Sea Demons, and whatnots in their country, but nobody had established a shared universe that placed all these legends together.
Su Manman knew this had been Director Chen Wenhua’s wish for many years, but it hadn’t been fulfilled.
However, she had discovered something from this script. She boldly guessed that this might be Director Chen Wenhua’s first movie in the series.
The main character in this movie was Su Manman. It could be said that this was a female hero fantasy movie.
In the script, she would act as a nine-tailed fox with a split personality. This character was also the love interest of the male lead.
The script’s background was in a new era, the New Calendar 0028.
After a cataclysm, a link between the human world and the demonic realm had been opened. The Nine-tailed Fox cub was brought to the human world and was adopted by a couple that had survived the catastrophe but was unable to conceive.
Little Fox grew up in a futuristic world and dated her professor at the university.
The male lead was a biologist and a university professor. After their first relationship, the little fox found that the color of her pupils was a little strange, but when she looked at the mirror again, she didn’t find anything unusual.
After that, strange things kept happening in the little fox’s life. She realized that she could talk to animals. She could fly, send bad people who wanted to rape her with a punch flying, and white fox fur grew on her arms.
She frantically ran to the school’s lab to take a blood test, only to find that her blood was very strange. She was stricken with fear.
The male lead discovered the little fox’s mutation and immediately brought her away. However, the blood sample was left in the laboratory.
The next day, a student discovered that there was something wrong with the blood and reported it to the higher-ups. The people from the higher-ups came down to check, and some Demons who had infiltrated the human race recognized it to be an Immortal’s blood sample. They took away the blood sample, checked the surveillance cameras, and discovered the male and female leads. They wanted to capture the female lead alive and use human technology to extract the blood serum and create an undying army for themselves to rule the world.
The male lead started fleeing with the female lead. During the process, when the female lead found out that her parents were killed, her second personality awakened, and she started killing...
The government had deployed all sorts of advanced weapons, but they weren’t able to harm the female lead at all. On the other hand, the military suffered great losses, and the situation escalated.
The male lead finally arrived to placate the female lead. The female lead was captured and locked up in a special prison. He struggled past the two soldiers who were taking her away, rushed over, and said to the female lead, “I’ll definitely rescue you. Wait for me!”
The end.
The easter egg was the little fox sitting in front of a McDonald’s round table, wearing a prisoner’s uniform draped in a fur rug. She looked at the humanoid monkey in a suit opposite her who was eating and throwing peanuts at the little fox while asking her why her other personality hadn’t appeared. The little fox looked helpless.
Anyone from China could tell that monkey was... Sun Wukong.
It could be seen that Director Chen Wenhua chose to have a stable storyline for the first movie in the series. The most exciting part was the details. Every word in each conversation must have been carefully crafted, especially the difference between the female lead’s scenes before and after her second personality was awakened. Su Manman had to think about it carefully.
This was the beginning of a long career if Director Chen Wenhua could take the first step!
Hearing her phone vibrate, Su Manman lowered her head. Seeing that it was Shi Hanchu’s message, she put down her script and opened it...
[Shi Hanchu: Treat it normally.]
It was just three words, but the style matched Shi Hanchu’s.
However, Su Manman was already very satisfied that it came from Shi Hanchu.
Her lips curled up as she gripped her phone tightly and started to read the script seriously, trying to figure out the difference between the little fox’s first personality and second personality.
Most importantly, the difference between these two personalities wasn’t the kind that was completely opposite or completely turning evil...
The first personality was kind and optimistic, possessing all the good qualities that humans had.
The second personality also had feelings for humans, but she had no choice but to become enemies with humans. She only wanted to kill those people who harmed her parents, but the army chased her. She had no choice but to resist.
