After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Became My Fan

Because of one sentence, "She's back," Jian Ruo Xi's three-year marriage came to an end.

Fortunately, with the help of her sister-in-law, she quickly made a comeback and becam...

Chapter 423 The Road to Casting

Zhou Ye was indignant. She asked Lu Shen, "Why can you erase all my previous efforts with just one sentence?"

Unexpectedly, she had no idea what was going on, so Lu Shen naturally didn't indulge her: "You've been coming to Li Tianlei's office a lot lately to ask him about the script, but look at what you're wearing today."

The others in the office were drawn to her, their gazes sliding from Zhou Ye's face down to her neckline.

It was only then that everyone noticed that Zhou Ye's neckline was extremely low; it was somewhat indecent to be seen if she bent over even slightly.

Lu Shen continued to accuse her: "When you went to his office, you refused to sit and insisted on standing. You bent down to ask him what he meant, and you kept touching him with your hands."

And so everyone knew what kind of person Zhou Ye was. Overwhelmed with shame, Zhou Ye covered his face and ran out of the office.

Of course, the one with a gloomy face in the office was not Li Tianlei, but Lu Jin. She stared at Li Tianlei without saying a word, but he could feel that he was about to be cut by a knife.

Li Tianlei reluctantly took the script and approached Lu Jin, trying to make conversation: "I think this script needs to be revised again."

"Oh, you, the great screenwriter Li, need to revise the script. You need to find Zhou Ye. Why are you asking me?" Lu Jin asked him.

Lu Jin couldn't believe that Li Tianlei wouldn't have noticed Zhou Ye's unusual behavior. If he had noticed, why would he have tolerated Zhou Ye so much?

Lu Jin became increasingly upset and walked up to Qin Su with her phone: "Let's go over the script again. If there are no problems, let's move on to the next scene."

And so, Qin Su and Chen Lu officially began filming.

In the early stages of filming, the two performed very well, giving the crew a lot of time to talk when there were no breaks.

Moreover, the two of them were almost perfect from every angle, so there was no need to find a specific angle or provide special lighting. Lu Jin was very satisfied.

When filming resumed the next day, Lu Shen looked at the already filmed scenes and still felt something was off.

He asked Lu Jin, "Don't you think something's wrong?"

"No, their acting skills are excellent." Lu Jin didn't notice the problem.

Li Tianlei, however, had his own insights: "I also feel that something is missing, as if I haven't fully brought the character to life."

Lu Shen analyzed carefully from the side: "Look, Chen Lu has a cold and aloof personality. It seems to make sense to let her play the older sister who has a reformed image later on, and it also fits her personality quite well."

"But why don't we think about it differently? How about we let the aloof Chen Lu play a dancer, and the gentle Qin Su play the daughter of a traitor?" Lu Shen suddenly came up with a solution.

But Jian Ruoxi was pondering Chen Lu's personality: "Can Chen Lu play a dancer? It seems a bit difficult, since you can't see any trace of a dancer in her daily life."

"Why don't we try it and see?" Lu Shen said.

They briefly explained the suggestion to Qin Su and Chen Lu, who both expressed their understanding.

Therefore, when the next scene was officially filmed, Chen Lu played a dancer, and her performance surprised everyone.

On camera, she completely changed her usual aloof image, perfectly showcasing the alluring posture of a dancer. Jian Ruoxi clapped and cheered from the side: "Chen Lu, your performance this time is absolutely amazing!"

Lu Jin couldn't help but praise her: "I never expected you to portray this character so vividly."

Chen Lu was thus cast as the dancer, and now it was up to Qin Su to see how she performed.

Qin Su herself is gentle and kind. When asked to play the daughter of a traitor, she was actually a little unsure of herself. After all, she would have to perform exceptionally well to gain Lu Jin's approval.

"What's wrong, you filthy beggar? I feel dirty just touching your hands. Be careful, or I'll chop you up." Qin Su said her lines, her eyes filled with contempt for the beggar played by the Eighth Route Army soldier.

Qin Su's performance completely exceeded Lu Jin's expectations. She didn't expect that after the two actors were switched, they would bring both characters to life.

Lu Shen proudly remarked from the side, "It's all thanks to me, so hurry up and thank me."

"Thank you to your whole family, my eldest brother." Lu Jin looked at his brother impatiently.

Jian Ruoxi laughed out loud, "Alright, stop joking. Right now, our movie is still missing Lu Shen, who has the most important role."

In this script, Lu Shen is a student who has returned from studying abroad.

Although he is a spoiled rich kid, he is very patriotic at heart. It is not easy to find an actor with such qualities.

To portray the arrogance and nobility of a wealthy young man, which means his appearance and physique must have such qualities, but to also possess a patriotic and righteous heart, is a difficult task.

But with so many people, it's impossible to find one. So Jian Ruoxi said, "Start the auditions tomorrow. Don't make any requirements on the actors' education or the length of their acting careers."

The studio posted the ad online, and it quickly went viral. Many people signed up for the audition and were selected by the initial staff.

Six were eliminated from ten, leaving four to enter the studio for selection by Lu Shen himself: "You can act out the content of the script briefly."

The man's wailing and howling startled the candidates waiting nearby. Lu Shen waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, you can go down now."

"Next."

One by one, people got up from their seats, went into the room, and left dejectedly.

"Next."

But to his surprise, it was Jian Ruoxi who came in after stepping back through the door. Lu Shen asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you doing here?"

"There's no one left. I posted so many pictures, and not even one person was enough?" Jian Ruoxi was a little discouraged.

Lu Shen put his pen on the table. "You can see all the materials I wrote. They're really no good. None of them are suitable. Either their Mandarin isn't good enough, or their temperament doesn't match."

Seeing the somewhat melancholy atmosphere between the two of them, Lu Jin stepped forward and said, "Let's go, stop choosing, let's go relax first."

Lu Jin drove them around in his sports car.

"Sister-in-law, shouldn't you have your prenatal checkup?" Lu Jin asked her, referring to the date on his phone.

Jian Ruoxi suddenly remembered at this moment: "Oh right, I've been so busy lately that I forgot. Let's turn around and go to the hospital first."

While waiting in line at the hospital, Jian Ruoxi noticed a bar waiter in the distance who was exceptionally handsome, fair-skinned, and stood out among the sickly patients.

Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but glance over there a couple more times.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Shen immediately blocked Jian Ruoxi's view like a mountain.

"Is it really that pretty? Don't forget, you're here for a prenatal checkup," Lu Shen said, sounding jealous.
