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

Chapter 450 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (62)
During this live broadcast, Zhu Wen performed several more acts.

Each performance was only better than the last.

As netizens savored this kind of acting, they suddenly felt that none of the dramas they had been watching lately were appealing anymore.

Watching Sister Zhu perform is a pure joy; it gets your adrenaline pumping!

[This is just footage from a variety show; imagine adding the environment and atmosphere of a movie... My God! I can't even imagine!]

I can't wait any longer! When is the movie finally going to be released?!

[I heard that this suspense film, which is being shot and edited simultaneously and has no special effects, will probably be released in two or three months.]

[Oh my god, it's taking so long! Looks like I'll have to keep handling these variety show clips until they're worn smooth; ugh!]

[Long? Movies require a lot of post-production work; two or three months is considered very fast!]

[However, Xu Qing isn't worried that if this clip is leaked, people will be emotionally drained and lose interest in the full movie when it's released later?]

[Xu Qing V: Don't worry, Sister Zhu's character is very complex; this is just the tip of the iceberg.]

[Is it the director himself? Wow, looks like he's really surfing the web, always getting the latest information!]

[I'm speechless. Just how much does Xu Qing like Zhu Wen? He's even constantly monitoring the live stream... Could it be that he orchestrated all of this? This is terrifying to think about.]

Even if arrangements are made, Zhu Wen needs to demonstrate sufficient ability! If the stage is set too high but he himself is utterly incompetent, then it's better not to make any arrangements at all!

[Xu Qing might also be doing this for himself! His inner monologue might be, 'You all used to say I had bad taste! Now let's see who has the best taste!']

[I suddenly understand the director's feelings towards Sister Zhu. Isn't that just like a fan's feelings for their idol? No wonder he had stars in his eyes when he looked at her; I would have done the same!]

[Xu Qing is the kind of person who absolutely admires strength! He values ​​ability above all else! He used to criticize actors, never for any other reason than because he thought their acting was bad! But towards actors with good acting skills, he's gentler than anyone else!]

[Yes, yes, a longtime fan of Xu Qing personally attests to this, absolutely true! I'm really fed up with people always saying Xu Qing has a bad temper. I suspect it's just those fans of popular actors who've been criticized deliberately spreading that rumor. Why don't they consider why Xu Qing is strict? Isn't it because their older brothers and sisters can't even act properly?]

Having recently been bombarded with terrible Chinese dramas, I suddenly understand Xu Qing's feelings. Zhu Jie's top-notch acting skills, especially considering she'd never acted in a drama before, are like a breath of fresh air!

……

The afterglow of Zhu Wen's several consecutive performances continues to linger.

Netizens were both reflecting on and repenting as they watched.

And so, the first day of the variety show livestream came to a close.

Everyone was a little confused when they saw this. Was the filming really over just like that?

Looking at the time again, I realized that I had been watching Zhu Wen's live stream from the set for almost eight hours without even realizing it!

Of course, there were times when the camera switched to Zhai Ling's side, but the camera switching away didn't mean Zhu Wen would stop to rest; she was constantly delivering output!

Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but admire Zhu Wen even more!
When Zhu Wen finished her work on set for the day, she heard Xu Qing say that her scenes were almost finished.

Zhu Wen nodded:

"Well, I saw it."

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Qing, feeling that he was deliberately trying to find out something.

Xu Qing chuckled twice:

"I'd like to ask Sister Zhu, what are your plans for your next project?"

Zhu Wen replied casually:

"Didn't think it through."

Although I had already planned to become an actress using the Mirage Pearl as a stepping stone.

However, Zhu Wen doesn't seem to have a particularly strong desire for fame; she's more of a go-with-the-flow type. She currently has no agent or company backing, and even her entry into Xu Qing's production team was achieved through an unconventional audition process.

As for what happens next... Zhu Wen doesn't have any particular ideas, he just plans to take it one step at a time.

Upon hearing her nonchalant remarks, Xu Qing became extremely anxious and jumped up and down:

"That won't do! Sister Zhu, you should be on set every single day of the year! Otherwise, it would be such a waste of your talent!"

Xu Qing shared similar sentiments with some netizens, regretting that he couldn't discover Zhu Wen during her prime years.

Despite her age, Zhu Wen possesses a charm that many young girls lack, and her knowledge and experience have reached a new level.

However, this does not stop Xu Qing from fantasizing about Zhu Wen's buried teenage years. If she had started to shine from that time, wouldn't they have produced a world-class movie star?
The more Xu Qing fantasized about it, the more regrettable it felt. He wished Zhu Wen would transform into a workaholic, spending every day on set, contributing more excellent works to the world, so as not to leave any regrets!
So Xu Qing said without thinking:

"My next film is already in pre-production. Sister Zhu, would you like to give it a try? This time it's the female lead!"

Zhu Wen wasn't surprised at all.

Xu Qing's admiration for her these past few days has been practically overflowing.

Unless Zhu Wen is blind, he wouldn't be able to see his enthusiasm for her.

However, Zhu Wen could also sense that Xu Qing's feelings were complicated. Perhaps they contained some appreciation between men and women, but more of it was an admiration from below.

Therefore, Zhu Wen was in a very relaxed state of mind.

She shrugged.

"Sure, send the script over when you have time so I can take a look."

Xu Qing was overjoyed, waving his fist at the air like a child who had received the perfect gift.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen couldn't help but smile, then packed his things to leave.

Just then, Xu Qing received a phone call.

Zhu Wen glanced at his face and immediately saw it fall down, his whole demeanor exuding a sense of dejection!
It seems to be bad news?

Zhu Wen thought to himself.

However, he did not rush forward to disturb Xu Qing or offer him any comfort.

Their relationship wasn't that close yet.

Seeing that Zhu Wen had finished packing his things and was about to leave,

"Sister Zhu!"

Xu Qing called out to her again, but his expression wasn't very good.

Hesitantly approached Zhu Wen, and then, under her questioning gaze, slowly began to speak.
"Sister Zhu, do you know Director Li Sheng?"

Zhu Wen shook his head:

"I knew it was you."

Just as Xu Qing was about to show his joy, he suddenly remembered:

"...Wait, Sister Zhu, when did you find out about me?"

Zhu Wen spoke in a matter-of-fact tone:
"After joining the film crew."

Xu Qing's smile vanished.

But he also remembered another important matter:
"Director Li Sheng is one of the top directors in China. He saw a clip of you acting and wants to invite you to play the female lead in his new movie."
