Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 70 - 54 Goddess
Chapter 70: Chapter 54 Goddess
Chapter 70 -54 Goddess
Before she came here, Fu Siyu had given Shu Wan a translator.
Shu Wan glanced at the text on the screen converted from spoken language, then handed the email to a staff member, “I’m here to act in a movie.”
The staff member sneered with a look that said they were examining a liar, “Do you know who the director of our movie is?
Mei Long, a globally top-rated director.
How could he possibly let a person from Hua Country act in a movie?”
Hearing the staff member’s words, Shu Wan felt a bit uncomfortable, but she didn’t argue too much, “Then why don’t you let me meet the director, and we’ll know?”
“Every year, thousands of people use the same excuse to try to meet Director Mei.
I advise you to give up on this idea.
If you continue to persist, I’ll have to call the police.”
Having come all the way to Bruce, Shu Wan still wanted to try her hardest, “Just give the email to the director for me.”
“Someone come quick, there’s trouble here!” The staff member treated Shu Wan as if she was there to cause a commotion, directly calling security over.
A group of tall and strong men, nearly two meters in height, quickly surrounded Shu Wan.
Shu Wan looked at them coldly, contemplating whether to just leave or to try one more time.
As the standoff was taking place, no one noticed a car slowly driving by the street corner.
Thick smoke drifted leisurely out of the car window.
“Director Mei, there’s only one role left to cast, and it’s only on screen for ten seconds.
It doesn’t have to be that demanding, right?
As long as they look good, that should be fine.”
The man referred to as Director Mei had white, curly hair, and his beard nearly covered half of his face, with his eyes shining bright.
He frowned, “If a movie doesn’t focus on the details, then what’s the point of making a movie!”
“Yes, you’re right in your reprimand,” said the staff member, passing a book called the Eastern Stars Collection to Mei Long, “These are some people from the Eastern World who meet your requirements.
Could you take a look and see if any are suitable?”
Mei Long flipped through the book, his frown deepening, “This isn’t the vibe at all.”
The staff member was close to despair and asked carefully, “Could you please specify what kind of vibe you’re looking for?”
Mei Long took a puff of his cigarette, and images of female figures from Eastern literature he had read floated in his mind, “Just—”
He didn’t finish his sentence; his gaze suddenly fixated outside the window, “Stop the car!”
At that moment, in front of the film company’s entrance, Shu Wan hesitated only briefly before deciding to push back.
The invitation was from this company, the cooperation had been signed before—she had every right to be here.
Why shouldn’t she be allowed in?
Shu Wan moved her wrist, about to take action, when suddenly a strong smell of smoke hit her nostrils.
“Wow, an Eastern Goddess!
You’re exactly what I’ve been looking for!”
Shu Wan turned her head and saw a disheveled, bearded middle-aged man.
Although he appeared ordinary, Shu Wan knew that this man was the globally acclaimed Mei Long.
Shu Wan lowered her guard and nodded slightly to Director Mei, “Hello.”
“Hello, are you here for the audition?
Let’s go inside and talk in detail.” Director Mei was exceptionally excited and immediately went to embrace Shu Wan.
Shu Wan knew this was a foreign custom, but she still couldn’t quite accept it, instinctively stepping back to avoid the director’s embrace.
“I understand, you’re from Hua Country, reserved, very good.” Director Mei wasn’t annoyed; he simply smiled and invited Shu Wan inside.
Shu Wan followed him to a reception room, where a staff member brought over two cups of coffee.
“Please, have a seat.”
Shu Wan sat down, directly pulling up the email to show to Director Mei Long, “Do you remember, three years ago, you sent an invitation to a girl in Imperial City?”
Director Mei Long was momentarily stunned as distant memories suddenly resurfaced.
Three years ago, he visited Imperial City.
On the eve of his departure, he encountered a student.
The student was dressed in a white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, barefaced and astonishingly beautiful.
Yet that beauty was featureless, solely an extreme of loveliness without depth or substance.
At that time, Director Mei Long had already started preparing for his current movie, and the Shu Wan of back then wasn’t within his scope of consideration.
But her face was truly too beautiful, beautiful as an exquisite piece of art, so much so that even Director Mei Long couldn’t help but make an exception and issued her an invitation.
And this invitation, three years later, brought Director Mei Long an immense surprise.
Because the Shu Wan before him, aside from her facial features, had become thousands of times more beautiful than before.
It was a radiance emanating from the depths of the soul, dazzling enough to shake one’s heart.
This was precisely what Director Mei Long had been searching for, a person who could represent the image of an Eastern goddess.
“Great, when are you available?
Let’s shoot your scenes.” Having finally found an actress so suited to his vision, Director Mei Long was so excited he wished he could start shooting immediately.
Even though the entire crew wasn’t ready to start filming yet.
“Can we do it today?” Knowing she had only a small part, Shu Wan estimated filming would take at most half a day, “I’m planning to return to my country tomorrow.”
“Well,” Director Mei Long hesitated briefly, then agreed, “Okay!
I’ll personally shoot your part, come on, I’ll take you to the studio.”
The crew was scheduled to start work in three days, and although the set was filled with various pieces of equipment, there were scarcely any crew members present.
Director Mei Long asked Shu Wan to read the script while he called the stylist and the makeup artist, instructing them to come over immediately.
Speaking of the script, Shu Wan hardly had any lines at all.
The movie was mainly about a Western fantasy.
On the eve of the world’s collapse, the hero learns from a witch that if he could gather five Light Gems, he would possess the power to save the world.
These five gems were scattered across the globe.
After overcoming countless difficulties to find four gems and being chased by villainous creatures, the hero accidentally enters Kunlun Mountain in the East and is saved by a mysterious goddess.
After hearing their tale, the goddess sacrifices herself to become the final gem, helping the hero and his comrades defeat the creatures.
Throughout the entire process, Shu Wan only needed to say two lines, “Who dares to trespass this sacred place?” “Enough, take it then.”
To play the part well, one must first understand the character’s image and emotions.
Shu Wan’s understanding of the goddess was of someone detached and cold but also compassionate at heart.
Her exterior would be icy, but her gaze must carry the tenderness that encompasses the world.
During the styling phase, Shu Wan flat-out rejected the costume the stylist prepared for her and disagreed with the makeup artist’s work, “A goddess from the Eastern World is not like this.”
The stylist and the makeup artist were upset, but Director Mei Long simply waved them off and then looked towards Shu Wan, “Then what do you think we should do?”
