Chapter 175: Choosing a Script

At that time, Lu He was about to use her popularity to promote Lu Rou. She had almost given all the good resources in her hands to Lu Rou, and she almost had nothing to film.

At this moment, her “benefactor” suddenly appeared.

That “benefactor” took the script of “Beauty” to Lu Zhen and asked her to film it.

Lu He immediately recommended Lu Rou to the other party, saying that Lu

Rou was more suitable for the role of Yue Qin in “Beauty”. However, that “benefactor” firmly disagreed. It was also because of this that Lu Zhen had the chance to film “Beauty”.

Lu Zhen had also investigated the identity of that “benefactor”, but the

“benefactor” did not seem to want her to know his true identity. The investor of Beauty was a nominal investment company, so she could not find out who the real investor was.

Looking at the script in front of her, Lu Zhen guessed: Could that “benefactor” be from Jia Le?

Of course, her guess was very likely wrong. After all, the origin of Beauty was a novel. Anyone could buy the copyright.

Lu Zhen sighed and thought to herself that perhaps she would never Imow who the “benefactor” who had helped her back then was. If she knew who that person was, she would definitely find an opportunity to repay him.

Lu Zhen put away the doubts and emotions in her heart and continued to read the script.

The company seemed to want her to continue developing in the film industry, so they gave her movie scripts. Of the remaining three scripts, the second was a big production of a period drama. However, the male and female leads of this drama had already been confirmed. Lu Zhen was the second female lead.

The third was a low-budget art film, “Lovelorn Alliance,” which told the story of two young people who had fallen out of love and cured each other. The company must have included this script because they thought that she had acted in “99 Love Letters” and wanted her to continue accumulating some reputation in art films.

The fourth was a criminal investigation film called “Triple Threats”. Lu Zhen also had an impression of this movie. In her previous life, after this movie was released, it swept away the low box office of the criminal investigation film and became a dark horse at the box office back then. It entered the “Top 100” rankings of domestic movies on a good film website. It was a true masterpiece of reputation.

Lu Zhen was reading four scripts when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up.

Ye Xuan’s voice came from the phone. “Are you done reading? What do you plan to choose?

Lu Zhen placed the four scripts on the table. “I’m preparing to accept ‘Beauty’ and ‘Lovelorn Alliance’.”

“Yes, these two movies are indeed not bad. ‘Beauty’ might have a chance to win an award. The female lead position of ‘Lovelorn Alliance’ also suits your temperament.”

“I’m not done. I want to try Triple Threats, too.”

“No, you can only take two. Otherwise, your schedule will conflict. I know you’re very hardworking, but we have to ensure the quality of every work,” Ye Xuan said.

“That’s not it. I don’t plan to take on the female lead for Triple Threats. I want to try a supporting role in it. That way, the time will be fine.”

Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before asking, “Ye Wei?”

Lu Zhen smiled. As expected, Ye Xuan had a tacit understanding with her. “That’s right.”

In “Triple Threat,” Ye Wei was a supporting character who did not have many scenes. She was the adopted daughter of the male supporting character and only appeared for five to six minutes.

In the early stages of the movie, this character was an innocent and cute little girl who had been cooperating with the police investigation. However, in the last few minutes, this character had a subversive reversal.

Seeing that Ye Xuan did not speak) Lu Zhen took the initiative to explain, “The female lead in ‘Triple Threat’ is a female police officer with a positive image. Although this role is very likable, it lacks the attraction. On the other hand, ‘Triple Threat i is mainly a show between the male lead and the supporting actor. The female lead’s presence is weaker, so I don’t plan to act as the female lead. I think the role of Ye Wei is very interesting.”

“You’re right.” On the other end of the line, Ye Xuan smiled. She looked at the script in front of her. On the script, the name ‘Ye Wei’ had a red circle.

However, this red circle was not drawn when she was on the phone with Lu Zhen. As soon as she received this script, she focused on this role.

However, she did not mention this to Lu Zhen at that time. She wanted to see

what Lu Zhen’s own choice would be.

To her surprise, Lu Zhen actually saw the specialness of this character like her..
