Chapter 108 Female No. 2

In the morning, half past eleven.

Brother Wang sat behind his desk, holding a thin script outline and character biographies in his hands, his brows tightly furrowed.

This is the opportunity that Lin Shu just pushed forward.

She said that she had inquired with director Li Mo and the producer, and the director had a good impression of Su Qianqian and was willing to give her an audition opportunity.

Brother Wang hesitated for a long time, and his eyes swept across the face of the girl who was drinking water quietly opposite him several times.

She originally came here to sign the campus drama today, and she dressed up specially, looking particularly beautiful.

But now, there seems to be a better opportunity.

Brother Wang sighed inwardly, and finally spoke, his voice filled with obvious solemnity:

"Qianqian, there's something I need to tell you."

He cleared his throat and pushed the printed script outline in front of her.

Su Qianqian raised her head and looked at Brother Wang with her watery almond eyes. She put down the water cup with a questioning look.

"Just now, Lin Shu passed on a message."

Brother Wang chose his words carefully: "Director Li Mo finished filming 'The Robbery of the Golden Flower' last month, and now he has a big project on his hands that has been in preparation for several years."

"It's not a fast-food drama like 'The Robbery of Jinse' that caters to the market. It's aimed at depth and awards."

Su Qianqian said "hmm" softly, indicating that she was listening.

Brother Wang nodded at the outline and said, "As a senior, Lin Shu recommended you to the director and wants you to try out for the role of the second female lead."

Su Qianqian's eyes moved slightly, but not much emotion could be seen in her clear eyes. She was just quietly waiting for what was to come.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Wang Ge felt even more uneasy. He flipped open the biography and spoke slowly:

"This role is very complex and very difficult to play."

"The story is set in the chaotic three years after the constitutional monarchy was abolished and the electoral system was first established, when the old and new forces were fighting fiercely."

"The second female lead, on the surface, is a kind and simple female doctor in a church hospital, curing illnesses and saving lives with a compassionate heart."

He paused, his finger pointing to the key words in the character's biography: "But her true identity is an undercover agent planted by the old monarch in the core of the new power."

"She used her identity as a doctor as a cover to secretly pass on intelligence and even indirectly facilitated several purges of key New Faction figures."

Wang Ge's voice deepened: "This character's pain and twists lie right here."

"She was saving lives while treating the wounded, and she really couldn't bear to see lives slip away."

"On the other hand, she had to carry out orders and push those who could be saved into the abyss."

"She knew she was doing something wrong, that it would kill people, and she was constantly torn between responsibility, loyalty, conscience, and personal feelings."

"She's not firm enough and is wavering."

"If this kind of internal conflict isn't portrayed well, the audience will think she's hypocritical, cowardly, and capricious, and she'll be criticized to pieces."

He raised his head and looked at Su Qianqian: "But if it's played well, this is the most complex, most real, and most touching facet of human nature."

"Her kindness is real, her pain is real, her struggles and weaknesses are real."

"As long as this role is outstanding, it will be your stepping stone to a career as an actor."

Before Qianqian could speak, Brother Wang took a deep breath and told the tragic ending of this character:

"At the last moment, when the old monarch was completely defeated and the electoral system seemed to be victorious, she chose to defect, providing crucial intelligence and helping the new faction."

"Then she returned to that cold palace, a symbol of the old system, and died a martyr for her master."

There was a moment of silence in the office.

Brother Wang's voice was filled with sighs:

"Ironically, she never knew until her death that the biggest winners of her final initiative, the establishment of the electoral system, were the four great chaebol families who had been lurking in the shadows and had already infiltrated everything."

"They have become the real shadow emperors of this country, with money, guns and control over everything."

"All the pain, sacrifice, and struggle she endured, in the end, was just a favor to others."

"Although this drama is a fictional story, it does have some relevance. You should be familiar with one of these four great families."

Brother Wang drew the word "Gu" on the table.

He looked at Su Qianqian with a complicated look in his eyes: "The opportunity is top-notch."

“The risks are also unknown.”

"Lin Shu recommended you, she definitely had no good intentions."

"This role is too picky and too prone to negative reviews, especially for a newcomer like you. It's like being roasted on the scorch."

"Qianqian, what do you think? Do you want to turn it down?"

Su Qianqian did not answer Brother Wang's question immediately, but stretched out her slender white fingers and gently picked up the biography.

Her fingertips stroked over the words "female doctor", "undercover", "internal friction", and "martyrdom", her eyes focused and calm.

The soul in the script, struggling painfully between light and darkness, kindness and evil, loyalty and betrayal, seemed to be crying out silently to her through the pages.

The sense of tearing and tragedy attracted her deeply.

This was a hundred times more profound than the minor roles she had seen before.

Su Qianqian raised her eyes, and her clear almond-shaped eyes looked at Brother Wang. The usual timidity was gone, replaced by determination.

She opened her red lips and said, "Brother Wang, I want to try this role."
