Because the Gu family mentioned something that they couldn't tell the difference between it and a regular field snail, they didn't think there was anything to worry about.
Gradually, even Gu Jiajia began to wonder if she had made a mountain out of a molehill.
It wasn't until a villager was cut on the foot by a snail shell in the field, leading to a parasitic infection, that he ultimately lost his life...
Finally, led by the Gu family, the villagers began to capture the golden apple snails. But what they didn't expect was that while they were ignoring these deadly snails, their numbers had multiplied at an astonishing rate.
Now they're no longer just a threat to one village, because these creatures travel through the irrigation ditches to other, more distant places...
"How is it?" Changji asked.
Ye Chu thought for a moment: "It's a very novel subject. I used to think that this type of subject was only for documentaries. I never thought it could be made into a movie."
"That……"
“However, I might not be suitable for this role.” Ye Chu closed the script. “You know, I’m not good at this type of role.”
"I thought you would want to give it a try? After all, you even tried a role like Yuan Ai."
Ye Chu shook her head: "The character in this script is too different from Yuan Ai, Sister Ji. I know that as an actor, it is indeed good to try different types of roles, but the contrast of my recent roles is already big enough. I think I need to stabilize, otherwise it will be difficult for people to adapt."
Changji finally snapped out of her impulsiveness and calmed down. She realized that Ye Chu was right, and that her thoughts as an agent had been rather rash.
"I'm sorry, I think I was too hasty." Changji looked at Ye Chu apologetically: "But I'm very sure of one thing now, Chu Chu, you've really grown up a lot." Changji still remembered the Ye Chu who was indecisive and at a loss at the beginning, and she also remembered the Ye Chu who was eager to change her ways.
Ye Chu didn't say anything, but simply put the script of "The Intruder" on the elimination side. In fact, these were all given to her by Chang Ji.
"There are still a few left, let's take a look. No rush."
The room fell silent again, with only the ticking of the clock and the turning of pages.
"Ah, this one." Changji handed another script to Ye Chu to look at: "Heart Signal, adapted from a novel. The original novel is called 'The Pay-to-Win God and His Lucky Newbie.' What's the genre? Online game romance? Half modern, half ancient, half reality, half game."
"It seems pretty good." Ye Chu opened the script. The synopsis was about a story where a romance in a game becomes a real-life relationship, and the novel adaptation itself brought in a lot of buzz. However, one thing to note was that because it was a novel adaptation, there would be a lot of pressure if they were to film a live-action version. If the final product wasn't what the book fans wanted, they could lose a large number of viewers and even fans.
However... after looking at the general plot of the script, Ye Chu finally made up her mind to go to the audition.
Many people came to the audition for "Heart Signal," and quite a few of them hoped to take this opportunity to become famous overnight. After all, the original novel was so popular, and the popularity that the readers could bring was even more... coveted.
The entertainment industry has never lacked ambitious people. In order to become famous, sometimes some underhanded tactics are necessary. Most people here know that the release of a TV series is likely to attract a lot of criticism, but so what? Being famous even if you're not famous is still being famous. What's truly frightening is not being famous at all!
but……
Ye Chu felt the gazes from others, gazes that were anything but friendly. Indeed, Ye Chu, who had been nominated for Best Actress last year, was now everyone's biggest enemy in this audition preparation room.
"Hello." Ye Chu heard a timid voice, turned her head and saw a pair of bright eyes.
"Hello." She smiled slightly, and the other person blushed immediately.
"Um, who are you?" Ye Chu appropriately expressed her doubt.
"My name is Xu Qiqi, and I'm here to audition for Guan Fei." Guan Fei is the third female lead in the TV series, the roommate of the female lead He Rou, and also the one who introduced the female lead to gaming. The two became good friends in college and even dragged the whole dormitory into the game.
"Hello, I'm Ye Chu, here to audition for the role of He Rou."
"I know you!" Xu Qiqi said, blushing. "I am, I am your girlfriend fan..." Her voice grew softer and softer until Ye Chu could no longer hear what she was saying.
"My what?"
"Fan! I said I'm your fan," Xu Qiqi said, nervously trying to sit down next to Ye Chu. After sitting down, she secretly glanced at Ye Chu and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem displeased.
"Thank you." Ye Chu said thank you softly, then continued to review the script. She had a great quality: even though most people in the room considered her an enemy, she could continue doing what she was doing despite their unfriendly stares.
Seeing how serious she was, Xu Qiqi couldn't help but open the script to review as well. Her role had just the right amount of screen time, but it played a role in enlivening the atmosphere of the drama, and she also had her own romantic storyline.
The audition preparation room was getting emptier, and Xu Qiqi was getting nervous. Before going on stage, Ye Chu patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Don't be afraid, you have to believe that you can become Guan Fei."
“Become… Guan Fei?” Xu Qiqi murmured to herself as Ye Chu went on stage.
Xu Qiqi was one of the few people behind her in line. After the audition, she was still a little scared, clutching her script and walking towards the door with her head down. To be honest, she really lacked confidence.
"How about it?"
Xu Qiqi looked up and stared in surprise at Ye Chu, who was leaning against the corridor wall: "You didn't leave?"
Ye Chu smiled helplessly: "You don't need to address me as 'you,' it makes me sound old. I'm waiting for my manager; our car tire got punctured, and she and the driver went to deal with it."
"Huh? Who's so mean!" Xu Qiqi frowned, and as her angry expression appeared, she became much more lively. At least Ye Chu thought she looked much better this way than when she was timid just now.
"I don't know, but it's not a big deal." Ye Chu replied. Actually, this kind of thing happens quite often. It could be a hater, or it could be someone in the industry... Generally, unless there's a major problem, they won't make a big deal out of it or pursue it.
Seeing Ye Chu's nonchalant expression, Xu Qiqi asked in confusion, "But they punctured your tires, didn't you catch them? Aren't you angry with them?"
Ye Chu shook her head: "Whether it's their fault or not is one thing, whether to arrest them or not, whether to punish them or not is another. This kind of thing is very common in the industry. Sometimes it's a car tire, sometimes it's a dress, sometimes it's a prop for a show."
Xu Qiqi shook her head: "I think what those people did was wrong. They did something wrong but they don't have to take responsibility..."
Do you know Jiang Minmin?
Xu Qiqi nodded. Who doesn't know the legend of the former singer and singer?
"She ruined her voice on a TV show because someone tampered with the lemonade she was given as punishment," Ye Chu said softly. She looked at Xu Qiqi and thought of herself when she first entered the industry, too naive, so she couldn't help but remind her.
