How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 406 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (18)
After saying goodbye to Xie Ji, Zhu Wen took a taxi to the film and television city.

In fact, according to her plan, she should have stayed by Zhai Ling's side in the afternoon to take advantage of the situation and ease the tension between the two.

Who knows that plans can't keep up with changes.

Because she didn't know she would resolve her issues with Zhai Ling so quickly, she arranged to go to the film set for an audition that afternoon.

She did need the job opportunity, so she had to leave Zhai Ling temporarily.

233 asked curiously in his ear:
【Lord Zhu Wen, your acting was superb! When you recounted the past, you didn't seem like a mission participant at all; it was as if you had truly experienced it all yourself! You are absolutely amazing!】

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen revealed a mysterious smile:
How do you know I didn't actually experience it?

233 was extremely puzzled:

[Wait, the mission takers always passively receive the original owner's memories, they never experience them personally! Could this be a special ability of yours, Lord Zhu Wen?]

Zhu Wen denied it:
'I don't have that ability; I just remembered something.'

233 asked her curiously what it was about.

Unfortunately, Zhu Wen did not reply.

233 felt a little disappointed, but didn't dare to ask any further questions.

Inside the moving taxi, Zhu Wen looked at his reflection in the glass.

She saw the virtual form of System 233, which only she could see.

And through 233's clear yet foolish eyes, I saw another shadow.

Some things are not said, not because I don't believe 233, but because I don't believe the "things" behind them.

"Let's see who wins..."

The car window rolled down, and Zhu Wen's murmurs dissipated in the wind.

Half an hour later, Zhu Wen arrived at Hengdian World Studios and headed straight to the location he had arranged to meet with the film crew.

She had only walked a few steps when she ran into her boss, the manager, who, upon seeing her, angrily shouted:
"Zhu Wen! You stop right there!"

Zhu Wen stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.

The other party strode over, aggressively questioning:
"What's with the message you sent this morning? Resigning? Do you think this company is your own? You can just quit whenever you want? Do you know how hard it is to find a stable job these days! We're willing to hire you, you should be grateful! How dare you turn around and resign? Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're older you'll get preferential treatment. Get over there and clean the toilets!"

Zhu Wen originally thought the other party had something important to discuss with her, but it turned out to be just a bunch of nonsense.

She clicked her tongue, too lazy to respond, and walked past the other person.

The manager flew into a rage and reached out to shove her...

Zhu Wen grabbed his wrist with her other hand!

"roll."

She uttered a single, concise word and strode away.

The manager stood there with his mouth agape.

"My...my hand! It hurts so much! Ouch!"

Zhu Wen paid no attention to the manager who was screaming in pain on the spot.

She acted with restraint; even a professional doctor couldn't find any injuries, it was just a minor lesson.

With the appointed time fast approaching, Zhu Wen quickened his pace and finally arrived at the agreed location just one minute before the appointed time.

"Zhu Wen, is that right?"

Chen, a young man who had been waiting there for almost twenty minutes, recognized her at a glance and waved to her enthusiastically!

Zhu Wen stepped forward:

"Hello, I'm Zhu Wen." Little Chen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Hello, hello, I'm Xiao Chen, a staff member of the 'Black' production team. I'll be handling your audition, so I'll call you Sister Zhu!"

He agreed, then his gaze fell on Xiao Chen again:
"I remember you. You were the one who recommended me to them?"

When the phone call came yesterday, Zhu Wen asked the caller why they were looking for her.

The other party did not hide anything, saying that a member of the film crew had seen her by chance, thought she was very suitable for a role in the script, and recommended her to the film crew.

This matter sounds a bit bizarre, but Zhu Wen still decided to give it a try, which is why he rushed here.

Anyway, there's no one in this world who would dare to deceive her.

However, Zhu Wen vaguely remembered the young Chen standing before him:

“We met outside the men’s restroom yesterday.”

Her tone was firm.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"I thought you didn't see me! Sister Zhu, your memory is amazing!"

Zhu Wen nodded politely and then asked:
"Then the audition?"

Xiao Chen slapped his forehead:
"Oh, I almost forgot, let's go straight to the film set."

Zhu Wen then followed behind Xiao Chen.

Because of Zhai Ling, she has some understanding of the filming process and knows that auditions should ideally be prepared before filming begins, rather than being dragged directly to the set like this.

Soon, after Xiao Chen's explanation, Zhu Wen understood the reason behind it—

It turns out that filming for this movie had already begun, but the actress who was originally slated to play the role had to stay home to recover from an accidental fracture.

The director was already dissatisfied with the original actress, and now he felt that God was reminding him that he should choose a better actress, so he put aside all filming plans and frantically tried to find the role.

I auditioned for at least a hundred actresses, and it felt like I met every eligible actress in the entertainment industry, but I still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

It wasn't until yesterday, when Xiao Chen met Zhu Wen, that he made the suggestion to the director.

Zhu Wen nodded politely.

"In that case, I should thank you, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen smiled foolishly and waved his hand:

"No, no, this is just my honest opinion!"

Xiao Chen then told Zhu Wen about the movie she was auditioning for and the role.

This is a suspenseful crime film called "Black".

The film tells the story of a man who perseveres for more than ten years in his pursuit of the murderer who killed his family.

The killer's identity is only revealed at the very last moment of the film; it is the very character played by Zhu Wen.

Although his role may seem small, he is actually present throughout the entire film.

One minute she's working as a cleaner downstairs in the male protagonist's apartment building, the next she's working as a dishwasher at the restaurant where he eats, and then she's pretending to be a victim at the police station where he works...

In the early part of the film, this character seems as ordinary as a background figure, but when her true identity is revealed, there is a chilling twist.

The male protagonist then realizes that there is a terrifying ghost lurking around him, so at this time, the role that Zhu Wen has to play cannot be too ordinary; it must have the murderous aura of a real culprit!
"...I really think you're perfect for this role, Sister Zhu! I ran into you at the men's restroom yesterday, and the moment you made your move, wow, it was like the character from the script had come to life! You had to be dressed in that ordinary, unassuming cleaning uniform and have that weathered, aged appearance! But inside, you had a cold, hunter-like killing intent!"

Xiao Chen was so happy that he danced with joy.

In comparison, Zhu Wen was quite calm.

She didn't feel that the role was necessarily meant for her, but rather said:
"Let's see after the audition."

What if the director isn't satisfied with her?
