Jiang Mingzhu knew Director Chen Wenhua's ability to nitpick. She originally thought that … she needed to stand at the top again to be qualified to work with Director Chen Wenhua.
Unexpectedly, before her first work had even been released, Director Chen Wenhua had already called her personally to ask her to go for an audition.
"I've seen your trailer for 'The Olden Days'. You acted well, and with Shi Hanchu's recommendation … I think I can let you audition!" Director Chen Wenhua's words were very straightforward and arrogant. "The character has a split personality, which is equivalent to playing two roles. The difficulty level is higher. I'll get the assistant to send the script to your email. Take a look … If you think you can do it, you can try it the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, Director Chen. Don't worry, I'll definitely satisfy you!" Su Manman suppressed her racing heart and replied.
After hanging up the phone, Su Manman felt a little light-headed.
It was actually … Shi Hanchu who recommended her to Director Chen Wenhua!
She thought of her collaboration with Shi Hanchu in "Silent Disaster" and didn't expect to have the chance to work with him again so soon.
Didn't this mean that even the heavens were on her side?
Su Manman's phone rang. Su Manman lowered her head and opened her email.
Director Chen Wenhua's assistant was very efficient. He had already sent her the script.
Using this as an excuse, Su Manman pretended to be a noob and sent Shi Hanchu another message.
[Su Manman: Director Chen called me and said that you recommended me for the audition. I'm a little nervous. If it's convenient, can I trouble you to ask about the things to take note of?]
After sending the message, Su Manman called Dong Dong out and asked her to print out the script.
After so many years, even if it was an audition … Su Manman still liked to read the paper script. She always felt that something was missing from the electronic version.
When Dong Dong went to print the script, she almost screamed in excitement when she saw that it was Director Chen Wenhua's movie.
What did it mean to be able to act in Director Chen Wenhua's movie?
It meant that this year's Best Newcomer Award would definitely be Su Manman's. She might even be able to accompany the award. After all, there had been no precedent of a newcomer winning the Best Actress Award!
But as a newcomer, it was already very impressive that she could accompany the award!
This meant that in the future … there would definitely be a place for Su Manman among the Best Actress Awards.
Dong Dong printed the script while thinking about the future, feeling extremely excited.
Su Manman took the printed script and flipped through it as she did her makeup.
Time was tight; they had to go to the audition the day after tomorrow …
After reading the script, Su Manman finally understood what Director Chen Wenhua wanted to do. Her heart was pounding non-stop.
Director Chen Wenhua wanted to build a hero universe that belonged to them in China.
There is the Marvel Universe world abroad, and at home … there are so many mythical heroes, and there are so many records of gods and demons in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but there has been no way to establish an interconnected world.
This was because Su Manman knew Director Chen Wenhua well. She knew that Director Chen Wenhua had such a wish many years ago, but he had never been able to realize it.
But now, she found some clues from the script. She boldly guessed … that this might be Director Chen Wenhua's first film.
The main protagonist in this script was Su Manman. It could be said to be a heroine fantasy movie.
In the script, she played the role of a nine-tailed fox with a split personality, the lover of the human male lead.
In the scenario, it was already a new era, New Calendar 0028.
When the human world was baptized by the apocalypse, the link between the demon world and the human world was opened. The nine-tailed fox, who was still a baby, was brought to the human world and adopted by a couple who survived but could no longer have children.
The little fox grew up normally in the future human world that was filled with technology. When she was in school and university, she fell in love with her professor.
The male lead was a biologist and also a university professor. After they had sex for the first time, the little fox realized that the color of her pupils was a little strange. But when she looked in the mirror, she didn't notice anything unusual.
Later on, strange things kept happening in the little fox's life. She discovered that she could talk to animals, fly, and send the bad guys who wanted to rape her flying with one punch. White fox fur grew on her arms.
She ran to the school's laboratory in a panic and drew her blood for a test. However, she discovered that her blood was very strange and was extremely afraid.
When the male lead discovered the little fox's mutation, he immediately left with the little fox, but the blood sample was left in the laboratory.
The next day, a student discovered the abnormality in the blood and reported it to the higher-ups. When the higher-ups came down to investigate, some demons among the humans recognized the blood of the celestial race and took the blood sample away. After checking the surveillance, they discovered the male and female leads. They wanted to capture the female lead alive and use human technology to extract the serum. The demon race's undead army ruled the world long ago.
The male lead began to escape with the female lead. In the process, the female lead learned that her parents were killed. Her second personality awakened and she began to torture and kill …
The government used all kinds of advanced weapons, but they couldn't hurt the female lead at all. Instead, the military suffered heavy losses, and the situation became more serious.
The male lead finally arrived and comforted the female lead. The female lead surrendered and was locked in a special prison. The male lead struggled against the two soldiers who wanted to take him away and rushed over to the female lead, saying, "I'll definitely get you out of here. Wait for me!"
The ending.
The Easter egg was a human wearing a prison uniform and a blanket sitting in front of a McDonald's table. She looked at the human monkey in a suit eating and throwing peanuts at the little fox, asking her why the other personality hadn't come out yet. The little fox had a helpless expression on her face.
As long as one was Chinese, one could tell that the monkey was … Sun Wukong.
It could be seen that Director Chen Wenhua's plot in the first movie was all about stability. What was outstanding were the details. Every word of the dialogue must have been carefully crafted, especially the difference between the female lead's second personality and the female lead's. The degree of the scenes was about the same, and Su Manman needed to think about it carefully.
Director Chen Wenhua was the first to take the first step. This was the beginning!
Hearing her phone vibrate, Su Manman lowered her head and saw that it was a message from Shi Hanchu. She put down the script and clicked on it …
[Shi Hanchu: Calm down.]
Just these three words matched Shi Hanchu's style very well.
However, Su Manman was already very satisfied with the words' Shi Hanchu '.
The corners of her lips curled up, and she gripped her phone tightly. She started to read the script seriously, trying to figure out the difference between the little fox's first and second personality.
The main point was that the difference between the two personalities wasn't the kind that was completely different or that they were completely evil …
The first personality was kind and optimistic. She had all the good characters 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 who killed her parents, but she was chased by the military. She had no choice but to resist.
