Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration) Chapter 129 : . Becoming a Celebrity The Fought-Over-by-Big-

Shen Wan's performance was indeed a pleasant surprise, especially to the director, whose eyes were filled with admiration.

He knew quite a few action perforrs, all with real kung fu skills.

Shen Wan's previous moves were impossible without training.

After Shen Wan perfectly completed Fu Qingman's dangerous scenes, the director couldn't stop praising her. She basically nailed it in one take, saving ti and effort.

If the lead wasn't Fu Qingman and the stand-in couldn't show her face, the director thought Shen Wan's earlier brilliance would make her just as outstanding as the lead.

Of course, in terms of acting skills and suitability for the role, he still preferred Fu Qingman, who had always done an excellent job. He just felt a bit regretful seeing such a talented actress like Shen Wan.

His mind was actively searching for roles in this drama that might suit Shen Wan.

Although so roles were already cast, he could easily replace minor characters if he wasn't satisfied. In the end, there were no suitable roles for Shen Wan.

This actress was beautiful, skilled, and had graceful movents. The director felt it would be a waste to put her in a single-scene role.

As for roles with more screen ti, they all had connections to so extent. Without any major issues, even in his pursuit of perfection, he couldn't casually replace people.

In any case, he had taken an interest in Shen Wan and was thinking about considering her for his next film.

Fu Qingman noticed the director's satisfaction with Shen Wan but didn't think much of it. Instead, she felt a bit happy for Shen Wan.

If Shen Wan hadn't helped today, she would have likely delayed everyone's ti.

Moreover, she believed that even if she had attempted the sa moves, she couldn't have done them as perfectly as Shen Wan.

Those few leaping movents earlier were probably beyond her current abilities. The actions were smooth and crisp, as if perford by a true professional martial artist.

"I didn't realize you were so skilled. Why didn't you show off to those directors before? With your abilities, directors of period dramas would definitely welco you."

Even if she couldn't beco an overnight sensation, at least so resources would co her way.

Fu Qingman asked, sowhat puzzled. Although there were many shortcuts in this industry, so people didn't want to use those thods and preferred to act earnestly. Even if the chances of becoming hugely popular were slim, since no one was backing them, so people just loved acting.

Like herself, for instance. But she had to admit, even with her good family background, she had endured quite a bit to get where she was today. There were also those who tried to take advantage of her, but fortunately, with her family's backing, those who wanted to ss with her had to think twice. There were plenty of beautiful starlets willing to compromise in this circle; it didn't have to be her.

Over ti, everyone understood, and they stopped trying to take advantage of her.

Moreover, after becoming famous, apart from acting, she rarely endorsed big brands, at most doing so public welfare work. It was like making way for others. As for variety shows, she didn't participate in those either. She wasn't interested and didn't need to. As ntioned earlier, she was interested in acting; it was one of her hobbies.

"What does Actress Fu think of my appearance?" Shen Wan touched her fair little face, flashing a row of white teeth. "Isn't it very attractive?"

The bystanders had never encountered soone so shalessly asking others if she looked good, especially with an air of "I know I look good" while touching her own face. This woman was a bit shaless.

Fu Qingman examined her carefully for a mont, then nodded, "Very attractive."

"But what does that have to do with what I asked earlier?"

The people around also listened carefully. The director, who had originally co over to discuss sothing with Fu Qingman, suddenly heard Shen Wan's question and beca curious about her intention.

From a director's perspective, he believed Shen Wan had unlimited potential. To beco famous, she just needed one opportunity. Of course, if soone was willing to support her, she could rise to stardom within two years.

She had acting skills, physical prowess, good looks, and particularly lively eyes. One could say her foundation was truly top-notch.

Shen Wan snorted lightly, "I'm so good-looking, I should rely on my appearance to make a living. Always brandishing weapons and looking fierce would ruin my image as a gentle beauty."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, particularly wanting to point out that her earlier actions were far from the image of a gentle beauty. Hadn't she noticed? Did she have no self-awareness?

Fu Qingman also smiled gently, "But I think a beautiful person flying through the air is also very beautiful. Your leaping movents up the slope earlier, and those mid-air flips, were all very beautiful."

After the director finished discussing matters with Fu Qingman, he approached Shen Wan and proactively asked for her phone number. "If I have a suitable role for you in my next film, you can co and try out then."

Fu Qingman was sowhat surprised. This director was actively asking for a phone number, which showed how much he valued Shen Wan's skills.

Shen Wan didn't refuse, and they exchanged contact information. She believed she would eventually collaborate with this famous director, so having a way to contact him was good.

After staying on the mountaintop for two more days, the scenes there were finally completed.

Shen Wan didn't wait to go down the mountain with Fu Qingman. She had to return to her own crew, as the film she was participating in was about to start shooting.

Mu Linshi also had a minor role in this drama, far less significant than Shen Wan's role, which was almost the third female lead.

After the previous incident, Mu Linshi hadn't contacted her. Although they hadn't openly fallen out, everyone knew the score. Shen Wan probably wouldn't trust her anymore. Besides, Mu Linshi currently had a pile of troubles and likely no ti to bother Shen Wan.

However, at the opening ceremony, Mu Linshi surprisingly greeted Shen Wan with a beaming face, looking quite smug.

Shen Wan was a bit surprised and asked directly, "You look so happy. Did sothing good happen?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just lucky, I guess," Mu Linshi said, seemingly forgetting the previous incident. "An actress in the crew suddenly had so issues. Her role had quite a few scenes. The director thought I was decent and let take over."

Had sothing happened?

Shen Wan tried to recall the plot, but this wasn't ntioned. Perhaps sothing unexpected had occurred.

"Brother 8, can you check what's going on?"

188, who was busy trying to make money for Shen Wan, said he would look into it imdiately.

He had already told his partner that when this world ended, his host would send couple skins to his partner. Co to think of it, his host was the only one who sent couple skins to a system's partner. It was quite face-giving when ntioned, really boosting his status.

Recently, his partner had beco much more enthusiastic towards him. If he wasn't busy helping Wan Wan make money and beco an investnt tycoon quickly, he would definitely be playing gas with his partner all night long.

[188: "Wan Wan, Mu Linshi hooked up with a big shot and snatched Luo Chai's role. But Luo Chai isn't resigned to it. She had finally gotten a fourth female lead role with quite a few scenes and a distinctive character, likely to gain her a wave of fans. However, the big shot backing her couldn't compete with the one Mu Linshi hooked up with. Now it seems she's set her sights on you."]

[188 hesitated before saying, "Wan Wan, you don't seem to have a big shot backing you. Jing Ge seems to know about this but hasn't intervened. Given the male lead's typical behavior, I guess he's waiting for you to be at your wit's end before offering help, trying to increase your favor towards him."]

Having been through so many worlds, as an incredibly intelligent system, he had grown quite a bit.

"That brat is dreaming."

The big shots behind Mu Linshi and Luo Chai were nothing more than investors in this drama, probably holding significant shares. If either of them withdrew their investnt, it could affect the filming progress.

Generally, to avoid various complications, changing minor roles was quite normal. Although the director might be unhappy about it, it was an unavoidable part of the industry's rules. Unless the director was extrely famous, to the point where even if soone withdrew their investnt, countless others would want to participate.

"Snatching my role? They don't know their place."

Shen Wan didn't do much, just called the director. When the director received Shen Wan's call, thinking she had learned about the situation, he regretfully said, "Shen Wan, I'm really sorry about this, but you know how it is in this industry... The person backing Luo Chai holds a quarter of this film's investnt. If they withdraw..."

"Director, how much is a quarter?" Shen Wan asked straightforwardly. She silently estimated that with Jing Ge's participation, the cost of this film wouldn't be low. A lot of money had probably gone into Jing Ge's pocket after the investnt.

For a film that could attract an award-winning actor, the investnt cost was surely over 100 million. Co to think of it, the original host getting this role really had a luck factor; perhaps it was the female lead's halo.

But once you offend an investor, even if it's just a quarter, it's already a significant portion and very important to the entire crew.

"Fifty million." The director didn't know what Shen Wan ant. He had put a lot of effort into this drama, and although he might be able to secure more investnt later, he didn't want any hiccups in the anti. To be honest, Shen Wan was just a small-ti artist without any background. Her acting was just a bit better than average artists, not worth him spending so much effort on her.

Not only would he offend people, but it would also be thankless work. Now that filming had started, any issues would have a big impact. Most importantly, the award-winning actor Jing Ge was very expensive.

Shen Wan fully understood the director's mindset and didn't care about his thoughts at all. She casually said, "Then I'll invest in myself. It's just fifty million, right? I can afford that much."

188: Wan Wan's show-off attitude is kind of cute.

He silently thought he should earn more money for Wan Wan. If she's happy, she might send more skins to his partner. They should aim to send a complete set of all couple skins.

The director was sowhat shocked. Fifty million is sothing she can afford? Was this small-ti artist just joking?

Shen Wan had a sudden inspiration. "Brother 8, when you invest, pick so profitable films to invest in. Investing in this is more profitable, especially movies. I trust your judgnt. Most importantly, I can show off every day in the future."

188 was pleased by the praise and quickly agreed. Actually, he had been thinking the sa thing.

When the director saw that Shen Wan really produced fifty million, he decisively ignored the previous investor. He wasn't afraid of them; rather, he had a premonition that this film would be a hit. If they didn't invest, it would be their loss. His refusal was perfectly normal. With the money in hand, the director wasn't worried at all. He remained unfazed in the face of the investor's threats, causing the other party to leave angrily, vowing to withdraw their investnt imdiately.

Luo Chai also left with a gloomy expression. The investor thought the director was just saving face and being tough, and that he would co looking for them later.

But as they waited and waited, the director and the entire cast were busy filming, and no one ca to find them.

When they inquired, they learned that a new investor had invested in the film. The original investor's face darkened at this news. He had naturally seen the potential in the film, and now he looked at Luo Chai with displeasure. In her heart, Luo Chai naturally hated Mu Linshi to death.

The crew mbers were all very curious why the director was so polite to Shen Wan, the third female lead.

If it weren't for this director's reputation for loving his wife and maintaining his integrity, they would have thought he had a thing with Shen Wan.

Moreover, the way the director looked at Shen Wan didn't seem like they had a relationship. Instead, he seed sowhat eager to please.

Could it be that Shen Wan had soone backing her?

"Director, just keep filming. As long as I'm here, if anyone withdraws their investnt, I'll make up for it. I might not have much, but I do have plenty of money," Shen Wan said leisurely as she sipped her tea. "This filmmaking thing, for , is really just playing around, a hobby."

Director: "..." Is she really this wealthy?

Anyway, money talks, and the director's attitude couldn't have been better.

However, seeing that Shen Wan only showed this wealthy side to him and asked him to keep it a secret, he didn't understand and couldn't help but ask.

"I prefer to keep a low profile. I just want a place where I can act quietly. If soone hadn't provoked earlier, I wouldn't have wanted to intervene."

The director carefully recalled Shen Wan's background. It was indeed simple. She was strikingly beautiful but hadn't succumbed to the industry's rules like many won.

In terms of acting, she could indeed be considered hardworking.

anwhile, Jing Ge was still preparing to step in when Shen Wan was in trouble, but the new investor's involvent left him puzzled. Like others, he suspected that Shen Wan might be the new investor's kept woman.

But when he investigated, he found that Shen Wan hadn't been in contact with anyone.

Shen Wan gave him a fleeting glance. What a joke, waiting for her to be in trouble? He clearly didn't have good intentions.

What Shen Wan didn't expect was that Fu Qingman ca to see her.

Seeing Shen Wan and Fu Qingman's good relationship, everyone was surprised. Their suspicions shifted from Shen Wan being kept by soone to wondering if Shen Wan herself had a strong background. Otherwise, why would the award-winning actress Fu Qingman be so close to her?

"I heard your crew had so problems earlier, but they've been resolved now?" Fu Qingman ca to see Shen Wan, sowhat worried that Shen Wan might be unable to resist falling into those industry rules. She actually had high hopes for Shen Wan. As long as she could be patient, even if she didn't beco a huge star, she would eventually have a place in this circle. Didn't that director earlier admire Shen Wan too?

Especially seeing how eagerly this drama's director treated Shen Wan, it made her feel a bit uneasy.

"Actress Fu, do you suspect I'm being kept by soone?"

Fu Qingman hadn't expected Shen Wan to be so direct and didn't know how to respond for a mont.

"Don't worry, I'm not being kept by anyone," Shen Wan leaned close to Fu Qingman's ear and whispered, "That investor is . I invested in myself. Who told them to disturb my acting?"

"Actually, we're the sa. Acting is just a hobby, we just want to find a quiet place to act. The size of the role doesn't matter to ."

Hearing this, Fu Qingman was stunned.

Is that so?

But she felt Shen Wan had no reason to lie to her, and her heart ward a bit. "Really?"

"Really, I wouldn't lie to you. Just wait and see. I think this film is good, it's bound to be a big hit. The fifty million I invested will definitely make a profit. Being able to act and make money, what could be better?"

Fu Qingman felt relieved and said softly, "So you've been hiding your abilities. I've been worried about you for a long ti."

"I didn't expect Actress Fu to be so concerned about . I'm sorry for making you worry. Don't worry, we're the sa kind of people. I won't sell myself out just to beco famous. If I wanted fa, I'd just throw money at it."

But Fu Qingman was still amazed. Fifty million spent just like that, so how rich was Shen Wan exactly? It seed that in the future, if anyone tried to snatch her role, she would use this thod. It had to be said, it was quite satisfying and brutal.

"Actress Fu, you said you'd treat to a al last ti. Shall we go together now?"

"Sure."

Fu Qingman didn't think there was anything wrong with having a al together given their level of familiarity.

When it was ti to leave, Jing Ge originally wanted to invite Shen Wan to dinner, planning to discuss the script and tomorrow's scenes.

Shen Wan, arm in arm with Fu Qingman, looked at Jing Ge and said, "Actor Jing, I've already morized the script and practiced many tis in front of the mirror. I think there's no problem."

"That's really good, but tomorrow includes fight scenes. Are you prepared? What I an is, there are quite a few fight scenes, and the director doesn't seem to have arranged a stunt double for you. Do you want to ask so professionals to guide you first?" In fact, Jing Ge just wanted to find so ti to be with Shen Wan and show his attentiveness.

Hearing this, Fu Qingman shook her head. Which professional would dare guide Shen Wan? Did she even need guidance?

Shen Wan looked around, and seeing no one nearby, she released Fu Qingman's arm. "Actor Jing, how about we spar now? Do you rember all the moves the instructor showed us earlier?"

"I rember most of it," Jing Ge hesitated before replying.

"Shall we try?" Shen Wan blinked. "To be honest, I've morized and mastered it all. Dare to practice?"

Fu Qingman's lips curved slightly as she moved to the side, crossing her arms to watch Shen Wan and Jing Ge standing opposite each other. She realized Shen Wan seed to dislike this Jing Ge. He was indeed extrely annoying; she disliked him too. Just looking at him was irritating.

Now there would be an interesting show to watch.
