Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 330 Why is it her?!

Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Why is it her?!

"Of course," Ye Chu pulled a lipstick out of her purse and started applying it in front of the mirror, "who doesn’t know how popular the role of Zhao Qi is? Since my agent got me an audition, I naturally have to seize the opportunity."

"But, Sister Chuchu," the girl next to her whispered, "I heard Su Yinwan is also competing for this role, shouldn’t you be cautious?"

Ye Chu rolled her eyes without any hesitation.

She and Su Yinwan had not gotten along for a long time.

Even though Su entered the industry later and had less experience, the company acted like they were bewitched, constantly throwing resources at her.

Even though both were of the same type, she always ended up being overshadowed by Su.

Who wouldn’t be angry?

"So what? Director Zhang doesn’t just look at popularity and appearance, he’s a serious director. It’s not certain who will have the last laugh before the results come out!"

"That’s true," Su Yinwan sighed as she came out of the toilet stall.

The two girls were startled, the girl who had been speaking earlier quickly tugged at Ye Chu’s sleeve.

"What should we do...."

Ye Chu, unafraid, clicked her lipstick closed and glared unhappily at Su Yinwan.

"Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?!"

Su Yinwan quickly made a remorseful expression, "I’ve been here using the toilet the whole time, didn’t you hear?"

"I..." Ye Chu was at a loss for words.

She hated most how this woman always looked so pitiful!

As if the whole world owed her something!

Changing her expression, Ye Chu said irritably, "What did you mean just now by ’that’s true’?"

"Ah? Sister Chuchu, didn’t you know?" Su Yinwan feigned surprise, "The person playing Zhao Qi has already been decided."

"What?!" Ye Chu’s face darkened completely.

Wasn’t there no announcement about the auditions yet?

How could it suddenly be decided?!

"Heh, Su Yinwan," Ye Chu said furiously, "are you bragging about having connections that can help you sneak through the back door? Let me tell you—"

"It’s not me."

A light sentence successfully shut Ye Chu up.

"You, you said what? It’s not you? Then who could it be?"

She really couldn’t think of anyone other than Su Yinwan who could compete with her for the role.

"It’s Jiang Li." Su Yinwan bit her lip, "I just found out myself, Sister Xiao had to ask Director Zhang for a long time before he would reveal it."

"Jiang Li? Who is Jiang Li?"

The girl beside her immediately tugged at her sleeve again.

"Sister Chuchu, she is the niece of Shen Lan I mentioned before, the one who became famous from a reality show."

"What?!" Ye Chu was even more surprised.

An outsider got the role?!

"What does she have?!" Ye Chu yelled discontentedly.

Su Yinwan sighed again, "Maybe because she’s capable."

"Capable my ass." Ye Chu was indignant, "What capability can an amateur have? She must have relied on connections to get it, I hate people like that the most. Can’t we just compete based on our abilities? Now because of her the auditions were even canceled!"

No way, she couldn’t swallow this grievance!

She had been looking forward to this role for a long time, waiting for it to turn her career around!

"Ah, who can say otherwise?" Su Yinwan echoed along, "But Mr. Shen is their real aunt, after all, so she has to help her own family, right? I heard she’ll also be going to the Du Sang banquet soon."

Ye Chu sneered.

Coincidentally, she had also received an invitation to the Du Sang party.

Originally, she didn’t think such a small gathering was worth her effort to attend, but now it seemed she had no choice but to go!

"Sister Chuchu, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. You guys continue talking."

Seeing that her objective had been achieved, Su Yinwan found an excuse and turned to leave.

Ye Chu was known within their company for her explosive temper.

Jiang Li, just you wait for your misfortune!

...

Jiang Li originally did not want to act.

Being an actress was certainly not in her plans.

But the script sent by Director Zhang still piqued her interest.

"Night Walk" tells a story of a group of assassins, with the leading male character being restrained and powerful, stepping out from the darkness step by step, until he becomes a great general who looks disdainfully at the world.

In addition, it exposes the bloodthirsty brutality of feudal monarchs and the dire social realities of the time, all laid bare in a highly ironic manner.

Every character was successfully crafted, and the fight scenes were thrillingly intense.

Among them, the brightest highlight was Zhao Qi, the Princess of Zhao Country.

Being the Princess, she bore the mission of a nation, practiced martial arts diligently from a young age, aimed to assist her young brother, and was proficient in music, chess, literature, and painting, flawless in every aspect.

Yet, her outstanding appearance also attracted the covetous eyes of villains from other nations, and amid the wars among several countries, Zhao Qi was thrust into turmoil, becoming a beauty that brought disaster.

When Zhao Country was in shambles, it was she who donned military attire and led the remaining elite soldiers to carve out a bloody path on behalf of her young brother. When she was finally captured, to protect her reputation, she chose to jump from the city tower without any hesitation.

To the end, she guarded the glory of the nation and the dignity of the royal family.

There was no doubt, it was a character with genuine substance, which successfully resonated with Jiang Li.

Through those vividly descriptive words, she felt as though she had returned to the Daqi Dynasty, defending the nation’s and her own glory like Zhao Qi for her entire life.

She wanted to experience that life she had yet to finish, and likewise, to perfect Zhao Qi’s ending.

Thus, after much hesitation, she still chose to take on this role.

When Jiang Li shared this news with the others in the "Labor Team," everyone was thrilled.

Wen Jiaojiao was especially indescribably excited.

"Damn, Lili, this is truly a sensational debut! That’s Director Zhang! Do you know how much effort their team has put into this movie? They’ve brought in some major heavyweights, and even our Movie Emperor just makes a brief appearance, you’re amazing!"

Shu Yan was also astonished.

"My gosh, Lili, I was wondering why there still hasn’t been any official casting notice for Zhao Qi. Turns out you’ve landed the role. That’s fantastic!"

Jiang Li smiled, "I just wanted to experience it."

"What?! Jiang Li is acting in a movie?!" Qi Tianyu, a little slow on the uptake, shouted, "No way, Sister Li, if you go off to film, who’s going to accompany me to the library every day? I’ve barely been able to learn anything during the days you’ve been gone!"

Jiang Li said, "Director Zhang already told me that Zhao Qi’s part isn’t long, just about fifteen minutes. Many scenes are just silhouettes and are quite simple. If slow, it takes a week, if quick, maybe three days to finish."

"Wuu wuu wuu, Lili, when you become a movie star, you mustn’t forget all of us poor siblings." Wen Jiaojiao said pitifully.

"Yes, but then we can go and visit you and Movie Emperor He on set." said Shu Yan. "Speaking of which, where’s Movie Emperor He? How come he hasn’t said a word despite us talking for so long?"
