Chapter 310: Chapter 174 Goddess

"What is Shu Wan? Surely it can’t be the Shu Wan I know? Could a foreign name be so strange?"

"You’re thinking too much. How could Shu Wan possibly qualify to act in Director Mei Long’s movie? Do you know how many global stars have tried but failed to just get a cameo in his movies? Shu Wan? Not in a hundred years."

"Ahhh, fantasy movies in recent years have really been bad. My God, Director Mei Long, finally something worth watching again. I’ve got my movie ticket money ready, just waiting and waiting."

It seemed that because there were countless gaps between Shu Wan and Director Mei Long, people would rather believe that the crew had written the name wrong than believe that Shu Wan would be part of Mei Long’s movie.

However, soon after, the official account of the new movie "Netherworld Ring" by Director Mei Long started posting promotional posters.

The main cast was incredibly strong, all globally recognized superstars, and the supporting actors were familiar faces as well.

However, when the Eastern Goddess role was announced, it was a face everyone found unfamiliar.

Nevertheless, this unfamiliar face truly dazzled the entire international internet.

In the poster, set against a misty landscape backdrop, a lavishly dressed Eastern Goddess was shown in profile, eyes slightly downcast, her gaze seemingly embracing everything beneath.

Due to the side angle of the shot, Shu Wan’s exquisite and flawless profile was highlighted even more, as if the exquisite undulations of the landscape were crystallized upon her face.

"Director Mei Long’s new movie featuring a Hua Country face—could this indicate his intentions to enter the Hua Country market?"

"Shu Wan from Hua Country plays the role of Eastern Goddess in ’Netherworld Ring.’ As a newcomer being noticed by Mei Long, it’s truly shocking to the industry."

On the global film market, it’s rare to see Hua Country people, let alone in movies by world-class directors like Mei Long, who almost never cast Hua Country people.

Thus, discussions about who Shu Wan was heated up online.

Of course, many were also discussing whether this Hua Country actress was really as beautiful as she looked in the poster, and whether her facial features were indeed so three-dimensional.

Abroad, it was more about exploration, while at home there was shock.

Compared to the global entertainment industry, Hua Country’s had started much later and was naturally somewhat lagging, hence the domestic perception of foreign movies was a mix of genuine admiration and a bit of idolizing.

Previously, many top-tier celebrities were proud to secure a role in a foreign movie.

So when they found out that Shu Wan had silently landed a role in Mei Long’s movie, their feelings were incredibly complex.

"What?! Am I seeing this wrong? Is it Mei Long? How could Mei Long let Shu Wan, a nobody, appear in his movie? Has he gone mad?"

"Who in the world is Shu Wan’s husband... That powerful, managing to get her a role in a Mei Long movie? Really rich."

"Ultimately, it’s the director’s aesthetic choice—Shu Wan looks stunning in this poster, this lighting, this outfit, just beautiful! Shu Wan was already pretty, I can hardly imagine how beautiful she’ll look in the movie."

With Shu Wan’s poster in comparison, even Li Ya’s fans couldn’t in good conscience say Li Ya looked better upon seeing the "Shushan Sword Immortal" poster released.

Not only did Shu Wan have more delicate and pleasant features, but the essential point was she seemed to genuinely possess an indescribable quality, somewhat similar to the Goddess’s feel of embracing all things—one glance and it was hard to look away.

"Doesn’t this prove with ’Shushan Sword Immortal’ they picked sesame seeds and lost the watermelon? Shu Wan seems much more suitable..."

"It’s just a poster. How does Shu Wan qualify to act in Mei Long’s movie? It’s all because of her husband, aren’t these backdoor entries getting too arrogant now? I despise such nepotism for a lifetime."

"Indeed, even if Shu Wan is prettier, so what? Why doesn’t she have to work hard and still gets resources by marrying a rich man that others couldn’t get in a lifetime? Such a person only deserves to be despised by everyone."

Even though many people criticized Shu Wan for getting resources through backdoor connections and claimed they would boycott such nepotism,

Director Mei Long’s reputation was too significant; those wanting to see the film far outnumbered those boycotting it.

Whether they knew Shu Wan or not, everyone was curious to head to the cinemas to see whether Shu Wan’s performance in the movie would bring honor to Hua Country or be a disgrace.

Wang Tian had never imagined that Shu Wan had quietly secured such a grand opportunity for herself. Now, he looked at her with nothing but admiration. "You are amazing. Can you tell me how you got this role?"

Shu Wan thought for a moment, "I was just walking down the street when he pulled me in to sign a contract."

"......"

It sounded ridiculous, but Wang Tian suddenly thought that it seemed quite plausible for Shu Wan.

"Let’s prepare to upgrade our standing."

Wang Tian rubbed his hands excitedly. That was Mei Long, after all. No matter how many scenes Shu Wan had in there, just having been in a Mei Long movie was a valuable experience she could always tout in the film industry.

"I signed up for a movie recently, did you know?"

Mentioning this, Wang Tian seemed a bit hesitant. "Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider? Campus themes are not trending, and that crew was assembled last minute."

"I want to give it a try."

Having played roles in historical dramas before, Shu Wan was eager to try out a campus-themed movie.

"Well, alright then."

Although Wang Tian was thoroughly unconvinced about Shu Wan taking the role since he felt the film wouldn’t help Shu Wan at all, if Shu Wan wanted to do it, he would let her go ahead.

"Oh, right," having been talking about filming, Wang Tian almost forgot the piece of official business he was supposed to mention, "I’ve arranged a commercial activity for you in the esports circle."

Initially, when the variety show just started, the scene of Shu Wan and Fu Yang teaming up to play games had attracted many viewers.

Sometimes the esports circle also needs to interact with the entertainment circle to increase game exposure, and Shu Wan happened to meet their requirements.

"When is it?"

"Next weekend. If you have time, practice your skills well so you don’t perform poorly and get criticized."

"Okay, I’ll be going now."

"Where are you headed? I’ll give you a ride," Wang Tian said as he picked up his car keys and followed Shu Wan.

"Going to the airport to pick someone up."

"Who?"

Wang Tian’s gossip radar activated. Although he didn’t know why, he always inexplicably felt that Shu Wan was the type of high-level boss who resided above the clouds.

Wang Tian was very curious to know who she would personally go to pick up.
