Chapter 118 Entertainment Industry: The Original Female Lead, a Stunning Actress, VS a Younger Top-T

Su Jinyue looked at the script on her computer and found it very interesting. She remembered that several top-tier actresses were vying for this script, so why would the director send it to her?

She called Sister Zheng to find out what was going on.

"The script for 'Battle of Kyoto' was only sent to you by Director Wang last night after it was announced that you would be the Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards. It didn't mean that you were already cast as the female lead; you still needed to audition."

This script is to be co-starring with Feng Tang, who is funded by Xingyao Entertainment, which reportedly has an investment of over 100 million yuan. It's a big IP, and Feng Tang's scripts are generally of high quality.

The key is the opportunity to partner with Feng Tang. Several top stars from various entertainment companies are eyeing him, so I don't think our studio has much of a chance..."

Su Jinyue understood. She wondered why the director had approached her; he probably cast a wide net, and her award made her a perfect candidate for the director's position.

Even though she was cast as the female lead, Su Jinyue didn't want to go.

First, the male lead of this drama is Feng Tang, and she never intended to provoke him, so there was no need for her to get to know him.

Besides, where there's Feng Tang, there's bound to be the transmigrated female lead Ruan Bingyu. Su Jinyue has many ways to deal with Ruan Bingyu, so there's no need for her to get involved herself.

Finally, this drama was actually produced by Feng Tang who brought his own investment, and Director Wang didn't have that much power. "The Battle of Kyoto" is clearly a male-centric drama.

The female lead is also a supporting character to Feng Tang. The female lead doesn't have many outstanding moments, her image is stereotypical, and it doesn't match Su Jinyue's future plans.

Therefore, Su Jinyue didn't want to go at all. Since it was just an audition, she could just decline it.

After understanding the situation and sharing her thoughts, Su Jinyue was about to hang up when she suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "Sister Zheng, is Director Fang Yuan also preparing for a film crew recently? Has he sent a script to our studio?"

Sister Zheng pondered for a moment, then replied, "I can inquire about Director Fang's recent situation, but the studio has not been in contact with Director Fang, nor has it sent him any scripts."

"Well, I heard by chance that Director Fang seems to be preparing a spy drama and is currently casting actors. Sister Zheng, could you try to connect with Director Fang and tell him that I want to audition for the female lead?"

Sister Zheng was a little worried: "Director Fang comes from a martial arts drama background. Can he make a good spy drama? Besides, Director Fang's dramas have a lot of fight scenes. Can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, Sister Zheng. I'll be fine..."

Su Jinyue put down the phone. Her desire to take on Director Fang's drama was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; there were reasons behind it.

Director Fang is very passionate about martial arts, so his martial arts dramas are very flavorful. This spy drama is a trial work for Director Fang to change his style.

Many people were skeptical, and the production team almost went under several times, but thanks to Director Fang's insistence, filming quietly commenced.

What's worse, this drama aired right at the same time as Feng Tang's "Battle of Kyoto"!

The production team for "Battle of Kyoto" was top-notch, and the publicity budget was more than sufficient. The entire internet was flooded with news about the crew and Feng Tang, and the publicity was in full swing.

Director Fang's "Spy Shadow" was released completely quietly; when it aired, the actors and director simply posted a message on their Weibo accounts and that was it.

"Battle of Kyoto" aired on Tomato TV, which has the largest audience, while "Spy Shadow" aired on Capital TV.

Even with such a terrible start, director Fang's "Spy Shadow" was not completely suppressed, and even received good reviews from the audience.

Later, this "Bourne" series became a critically acclaimed drama that could be watched repeatedly.

However, one regrettable thing is that the female lead of this drama suffered a serious injury during the filming of the action scenes, and was unable to complete the excessive scenes in the later stages.

Director Fang had no choice but to cut the female lead's scenes and give the highlight parts to the second female lead.

This resulted in the drama becoming a hit, with the main characters gaining considerable attention, but the female lead remaining virtually unknown.

Since the original female lead couldn't be cast, then don't blame Su Jinyue for taking the role.

The original owner might not be able to handle high-intensity fight scenes, but Su Jinyue is perfectly capable of doing them, and she can even do them better!

With the help of the spatial dimension, Su Jinyue also gained experience in cultivation.

Although the limits of this modern world are not high and the pressure on Su Jinyue's consciousness is very strong, she can still raise her own martial arts level to be infinitely close to the limits of this world.

Su Jinyue spent a week exercising and drawing qi into her body, but her cultivation level only reached the third level of the Qi Refining stage.

She estimated that even if she cultivated for a lifetime, she would not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage; this world's suppression of strength was too strict.

Is it because it's a world derived from a novel, focusing on love, so other aspects are unimportant?

Although the cultivation progress is not significant, some of the movement techniques and martial arts skills in the cultivation method can still be practiced.

Nowadays, Su Jinyue can not only fly through the air, but she can also scale walls and rooftops.

When Sister Zheng saw Su Jinyue again a week later, she was stunned.

Su Jinyue was already stunningly beautiful, and now her beauty seems to have reached a new level.

With fair skin and delicate bones, she was stunningly beautiful, a complete transformation from the Su Jinyue of the past.

Today, she is no less remarkable than Daji and Baosi of ancient times!

"Jinyue, did you take some kind of magic pill? How did you suddenly become so beautiful?!"

Sister Zheng circled around Su Jinyue. There was no way around it; Su Jinyue had changed so much in the past week. No woman could resist the temptation of becoming more beautiful.

Su Jinyue paused for a moment and then said, "I met a friend online whose family has a secret beauty recipe passed down through generations. I bought some to try, and it seems to be working quite well..."

Sister Zheng nodded repeatedly, saying it was more than just good; it was simply amazing.

"Jinyue, let it go this time, but you should be more careful in the future. You never know if the friends you meet online are good or bad, so you should be more cautious."

After giving her routine instructions, Sister Zheng couldn't wait to ask Su Jinyue for her contact information!

Su Jinyue was speechless. How could she possibly have their contact information? Her friends were all made up.

Helpless, Su Jinyue could only say that her friend didn't sell to the public; it was all introduced by acquaintances.

Next time you buy something, Su Jinyue can just buy one for Sister Zheng as well.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Sister Zheng stopped pressing for her contact information and instead got down to business.

"Your audition with Director Fang is this afternoon. How's your preparation going?"

Speaking of this, Sister Zheng was a little annoyed. Director Fang's crew didn't have any famous actors at all, and Su Jinyue, who had just won the Best Actress award and was almost a top star, took the initiative to come down to earth to make a movie.

Instead of being flattered and gladly accepting the offer, Director Fang actually wanted Su Jinyue to participate in the audition!

Moreover, Su Jinyue agreed to audition!
