Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 361 This is simply a god!
Xu Yue cherished this rare opportunity, her eyes fixed intently on the document on Shen Xuewei's phone, wishing she could memorize every single word.
She looked at her phone for almost three hours before finally making a decision.
Shen Xuewei even managed to take a nap in between, and while stretching, she finally heard Xu Yue make a decision.
"Weiwei, I'd like to audition for the role of Feng Shuang."
Shen Xuewei was taken aback, then gradually frowned. "Are you sure? This role, although outstanding, requires the ability to dance."
"You're not a professional dancer, so your chances of winning in this competition might not be as high as other interviewees."
This drama is an ensemble piece, and in terms of screen time, Feng Shuang's character is currently barely considered the third or fourth female lead.
She doesn't have many scenes in the original novel; she's just a minor character who appears a few times.
She is the male protagonist's ex-fiancée, but her family suffered a misfortune and she was sold to a matchmaker by her family.
After being trained and through a series of arrangements, she entered the inner quarters of a nobleman.
In the novel, a nobleman who also had few appearances was transformed by Gu Xu into the fifth prince of the royal family, making him the second male lead in terms of screen time.
As the only link connecting the male lead and the second male lead in their relationship network, Feng Shuang enters the mansion as a dancer and has two or three dancing scenes.
It was pitiful in its childhood, but made a stunning debut as an adult. After its most magnificent bloom, it withered away silently, leaving people with a sense of regret.
This character is outstanding, with a pitiful and complicated background, making him exceptionally difficult to portray.
Xu Yue, however, still insisted on interviewing for the role.
"That's precisely why I wanted to play her."
She couldn't reach the level of the female lead, the second female lead had a slightly more screen time but nothing particularly noteworthy, and as for the remaining characters, neither their screen time nor their character design was as good as Feng Shuang's.
Only this role could capture her heart so quickly.
She has several months to prepare, which gives her ample time to compete with other actors.
Her disadvantage is that she can't dance.
Since she doesn't know how, she can learn.
It doesn't mean that she has to be an expert in dance; she just needs to learn a few dances and master them.
If you grasp the essence of antiquity and the proper posture, you'll be pretty much there.
She spent several years working on various film crews, and whenever she had free time, she would ask some easy-going veteran actors for advice on acting.
She wasn't stage-frightened in front of the camera, and some directors even offered her pointers, saying she acted quite well.
Her acting friends all say she has good acting skills.
What she lacks now is an opportunity.
Now that the opportunity has come, she is determined to seize it no matter what.
She will do it, and she will definitely do her best!
Seeing that she still insisted, Shen Xuewei knew that she had made up her mind and did not try to persuade her to change roles to compete.
"Okay, I'll talk to the person in charge later. Once the audition time for the film crew is set, someone will notify you in advance."
"Xu Yue, I wish you success!" Shen Xuewei encouraged her.
Xu Yue was full of vigor and clenched her fist.
"I must succeed!"
The two said those words as if making a vow, but the next moment their stomachs growled at the same time, instantly dissipating all the momentum they had just built up.
Shen Xuewei rubbed her stomach. "Let's go eat. I booked a flight for this afternoon, and we'll be heading back to Shanghai after we eat."
Xu Yue acted quickly this time, without any procrastination, and got off the bed in a flash.
I put on a coat, went outside to brush my teeth, wash my face, and go to the bathroom. When I came back, I sat in front of the mirror and started grooming my face.
She glanced at Shen Xuewei, who was half-reclining on the bed, looking bored, and casually asked:
"By the way, Weiwei, how did you get the script for 'The Turbulent Times of Farming'?"
I was so happy just now that I didn't even think about where Shen Xuewei got these resources from.
However, after asking this question, I suddenly remembered that Shen Xuewei had been staying in the capital for some time, saying that she had work there and would be staying for a while.
This work is probably related to the adaptation of "The Record of Fields in Troubled Times".
She knew that Shen Xuewei was studying Chinese Language and Literature, and that this internship opportunity might have been arranged by the school or a professor in her major, or that she had competed for it herself.
She had already guessed an answer in her mind and felt it was pretty much correct, so she didn't need Shen Xuewei to answer anymore. She just focused on drawing her eyeliner.
After a brief silence, Shen Xuewei told Xu Yue the truth.
"Because I am the original author of 'The Story of the Land in Troubled Times' and also one of the screenwriters of this drama."
Before she came of age, only Chen Fanglan knew that she was writing books online.
I kept it a secret from everyone because I was a minor.
Once more people discover this, they won't be able to hold onto their money and will be exploited by others as a tool to make money.
But things are different now. She is an adult and, both legally and socially, is a completely independent individual. No one can restrain or control her anymore.
Everything she owns belongs entirely to her.
Even now, apart from Chen Fanglan, only people involved in the matter know that she writes novels.
Xu Yue is her best friend; she doesn't have to tell you unless asked.
But when asked, she didn't want to hide it from the other person; it wasn't anything shameful.
Xu Yue's hand trembled, and her eyeliner immediately veered off to the side.
She was still holding her eyeliner, but turned around with a somewhat blank expression.
"Did I...did I hear something wrong?"
However, seeing Shen Xuewei's calm and composed expression, and nodding again after she looked over.
You heard me right.
Xu Yue's eyeliner fell to the ground with a "thud," and her expression turned incredulous.
If Shen Xuewei hadn't told her to read the original novel, she definitely wouldn't have opened it.
She didn't have much of an impression of this novel before, but she had a very strong impression of Shen Xuewei's "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
She watched it for two years straight, and when she forgot a bit of the plot, she would refresh the page repeatedly to watch it again.
I used to think that I was far away from the author, but I never expected that the author was so close.
Shen Xuewei was about to explain that she hadn't meant to hide it...
The next moment, Xu Yue jumped over and gave her a thumbs-up.
Wow, you're amazing!
Xu Yue truly admired Shen Xuewei, admiring her energy and her abilities.
If I remember correctly, Shen Xuewei was still in high school when she wrote "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
She spends 26 days a month at school, yet her grades remain in the top three of her grade, never dropping below that level.
Even so, he was still able to write a work like "The Record of the Demon King of the World".
This can't be simply described as "awesome"; this is practically superhuman.
Her reaction was somewhat unexpected for Shen Xuewei, but it also made Shen Xuewei relax immediately.
