Chapter 240: Taking Down the Male Lead

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This script was one of the resources that Gu Chen had sent over a few days ago. In her previous life, Yu Su had also heard of this drama, but for some reason, it did not succeed in the end.

Yu Su had once read this novel before. At that time, she realized that the plot was very attractive and the male lead’s character was also very well scripted. If one acted well, he would definitely gain fans.

Zhao Duo flipped through it a few times, and his eyes lit up. “Sister Su, 1 like this script very much too.”

He already had the idea of acting in a Chinese fantasy themed drama, but he did not expect Yu Su to be so supportive that she directly asked him to audition for the male lead role.

“Alright.” Yu Su nodded. It seemed that her decision was right.

Zhao Duo quickly promised, “I’ll prepare well for the next three days. 1 won’t let Sister Su down.”

Yu Su said, “In the plot, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come over and ask me.”

Zhao Duo had seen Yu Su filming before and knew that her acting skills and plot comprehension were top-notch, so he naturally agreed.

In the next few days, Zhao Duo asked Yu Su if there was anything he did not understand about the plot and character design.

Yu Su explained very clearly. She even acted with Zhao Duo over and over again and accompanied him to get into character as soon as possible.

Soon, it was the day of the audition.

Zhao Duo won the role of the male lead with a brilliant performance. The director even stood up and applauded him.

He was recognized by the original author of the novel.

After getting the role, Yu Su discussed the plot with the executive director of this drama as Zhao Duo’s agent.

The two of them chatted and became more and more compatible. They realized that their understanding of the plot was very similar.

This director had also seen Yu Su’s talent.

Just as the audition was about to end, the director said helplessly, “I’m very optimistic about this drama, but the investors don’t intend to continue investing in it. Now that there’s a problem with the funding chain of this drama, it’s very difficult to take the next step without funds. They might even stop filming.”

The executive director only said this because he sincerely treated Yu Su as a friend.

At this moment, Yu Su finally understood the reason why this drama was not filmed in her previous life. It turned out that there was a problem with the capital chain.

Yu Su immediately said, “You don’t have to worry about that. If the investor withdraws his investment, that’s because he doesn’t have good taste. I’m willing to be an investor in this drama.”

Yu Su generously donated 50 million dollars.

Of which, 20 million was earned through the amount Yu Hong paid by buying talismans and the ritual tool from her. Yu Su planned to take the remaining 30 million from her eldest brother, Yu An.

When Yu An heard this, he immediately transferred 30 million yuan to Yu Su’s account.

The director was so touched that he did not know what to say. He could only thank Yu Su over and over again and even invited her to his house to play.

Yu Su declined politely. The two of them added each other’s contact details and became good friends.

Three days later, the variety show finally started filming.

This time, the guests were still Yu Ruo and Yu Zheng, and Chen Ling was added to the guest list. Fu Jie’s spot was subst.i.tuted by Zhao Duo.

As the Chinese fantasy drama had yet to officially start filming, Zhao Duo was not busy yet. Before filming, there was still enough time to partic.i.p.ate in the variety show.

The director announced that there would be temporary guests in the middle, but it was still uncertain. It would probably depend on the popularity of the celebrities in the entertainment industry.

This time, it was not the production team who brought the guests to the filming venue. Instead, they bought tickets for the guests and let them go to the ancient city on their own.

Yu Ruo brought Yu Miao onto the plane.

The wound on Yu Ruo’s leg that was stung by the hornet had almost recovered and he could move now.

After Yu Ruo put on the necklace, there were still small unlucky incidents, but his body did not bleed again.

This made him very grateful to Yu Miao.

At the gathering point of the ancient city.

The first to arrive were Yu Ruo and Yu Miao. The two of them came together.

Yu Ruo carried their luggage. Yu Miao was wearing a white dress and did not take anything. When she arrived, the two of them waited for a while.

Soon, Ye Chang and Yu Zheng arrived.

The two of them were pushing a suitcase each and chatting happily. They seemed to be on good terms.

Ever since Yu Zheng found out that Yu Miao knew sorcery, he had been thinking about how to reduce his contact with her. He even deliberately came to the show with Ye Chang.

Yu Zheng set off from home in advance to avoid traveling with Yu Miao on the plane.

Seeing Ye Chang walk over, Yu Miao smiled and waved at him. “Brother Ye Chang, you’re here? You’ve worked hard along the way.”

For this variety show, Yu Miao decided to set up a persona and be a bright little sun.

However, Ye Chang’s att.i.tude was very calm and he did not respond to her at all.

Ye Chang pushed his luggage past Yu Miao and walked behind her. He only stopped when he was very far away from Yu Miao..
