Lying about one's age, having a boyfriend/girlfriend but claiming to be single—this kind of behavior is very common in the entertainment industry. Chu Xiyue figured this shouldn't be enough to make the system make a fuss, right?
Chu Xiyue decided this wasn't over yet, "What else?"
System: [She conspired with her boyfriend to kill her father!]
Chu Xiyue:!
What? A murderer!
Chu Xiyue gasped, looking up at Jiang Jie on the stage. Could such a seemingly gentle and weak girl really be a murderer?!
That does seem pretty impressive.
Chu Xiyue had already reached for her phone, ready to dial that familiar three numbers, but before she could, the system continued: [To be precise, she and her boyfriend are a ruthless duo in the future, having killed two people, but they haven't killed anyone yet.]
Chu Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to ask, "What happened?"
If it's truly a vicious criminal, then the police should be notified.
System: [ Jiang Jie used to be a rich second-generation, but her family went bankrupt a month ago, owing hundreds of millions of yuan. To pay off the debt, her father is now planning to marry her off to a man in his sixties. Three days later, her father will take Jiang Jie out to dinner. At the dinner table, Jiang Jie Jiang Jie is plied with alcohol and then abandoned by her father. The Jiang Jie Jiang Jie, and photos are taken. Afterwards, Jiang Jie is threatened and forced to marry the old man. Jiang Jie's boyfriend finds out about this and confronts the old man, accidentally killing him in the process.]
[ Jiang Jie witnessed the scene. She helped her boyfriend dispose of the body, and later, she went even further, killing her own biological father as well. She lied to the public, claiming that her father had run away from home to escape debt collectors, and told the old man's family that he had gone on vacation abroad.]
Chu Xiyue looked at Jiang Jie not far away. Jiang Jie's audition had ended, and Chu Xiyue saw a satisfied look in the Director's eyes.
The system continued, "[In the original novel, Jiang Jie plays the lead female role in this movie, and the second lead female role in the reborn female lead Xu Zhiying. It was mentioned briefly in the plot that the movie was almost finished filming when the police discovered Jiang Jie and her boyfriend's murder, they were arrested, and her scenes were cut and reshot.]"
[Later, the screenwriter changed the two female leads into twins. Actress Xu Zhiying was called upon at the last minute to play both roles, allowing the film to be completed smoothly. The twin characters added to the film's drama, and Xu Zhiying won the Golden X Award Best Actress Award for her outstanding performance.]
[Unfortunately, the hastily revised script couldn't compare to the original; some plot holes weren't fixed, otherwise the film's box office could have been higher.]
Jiang Jie's story isn't explored in much detail in the original novel. Her role seems to be to highlight the female lead and give her a chance to turn the tide. Later, both Jiang Jie and her boyfriend were sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and they disappeared without a trace.
Chu Xiyue remained silent for a long while.
She looked at Jiang Jie. The audition was over, but Jiang Jie was still in character, her face still showing the emotions she had when she was immersed in the role.
"Thank you!" She took a deep breath and bowed to the audience.
"Can I ask you a question?" Chu Xiyue spoke up for the first time during the interview.
Jiang Jie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Of course."
What are your thoughts on the ending of the character Lü Dani in the movie?
Lü Dani is the name of the second female lead, who dropped out of junior high school, had her second child at eighteen, argued with her husband all the time, and accidentally killed him in an accident, ending up in jail.
Jiang Jie will also go to jail for murder in the future.
Jiang Jie was silent for a while before saying, "The character of Lü Dani is a tragic one. If someone had been able to lend her a hand, perhaps she wouldn't have met such a tragic end."
Chu Xiyue gave Jiang Jie a deep look, then suddenly smiled and said, "I think you're right."
"Why don't you try out the role of Lü Dani?" Perhaps because she had just heard about Jiang Jie's ending from the system, Chu Xiyue felt that the second female lead, with her strong tragic background, was more suitable for Jiang Jie than the resilient and unyielding first female lead.
Jiang Jie: Huh?
With the investor's approval, the screenwriter handed over the audition materials for Lü Dani to Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie was originally only interested in the female lead, but after receiving the script from the screenwriter, she was immediately captivated and began reading it with great interest.
Jiang Jie took the audition script and went to the side to prepare. During this break, her assistant called in the next actor to audition.
Chu Xiyue unfolded the documents, subconsciously glanced at the name column, and then her gaze stopped.
The name field was followed by three large characters: Xu Zhiying.
Good heavens, isn't that the female lead?
Chu Xiyue looked up at the female protagonist of this world.
This is a novel set in the entertainment industry. The protagonist, Xu Zhiying, possesses exquisite features that suit her whether she wears light or heavy makeup. She is extremely versatile. For example, right now, she is wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a ponytail. She exudes youthful energy and looks no different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Chu Xiyue calmly admired the beauty of the female protagonist of this world.
Xu Zhiying stood before the crowd, took a deep breath, and uttered the words she had rehearsed countless times in her mind. "Hello, Director, hello, screenwriter, I am Xu Zhiying..."
She looked down at the audience, her expression slightly dazed: In her previous life, she had landed the lead role in this movie, but later, because the film was being shot in the mountains, and she had just started dating Xiao Rui and couldn't bear to part with him, she gave up the role.
In this life, she will not give up the career she loves.
"The role I auditioned for this time is..." Xu Zhiying auditioned for the female lead in her previous life, but now she felt that the role of the second female lead had more depth. She was about to say the three words " Lü Dani " when suddenly, she saw Jiang Jie, the actress who played the second female lead in her previous life and the infamous murderer, staring at her with a deep gaze in the corner.
