“……”
Even though Mei Mu Lan’s heart was in a state of shock, her face was still slightly stiff as she said,
“Haha, I’m just kidding, I’m actually a big fan of yours and I love your movies, so can you sign my autograph?”
As she said this, she took the script from the hands of the petrified director and kneaded it in her hands, smoothing out the curled paper before handing it over with a slightly shy expression,
“Then, just sign here.”
Ling Yi Yao looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, and there were unreadable emotions in them.
She took the script, signed her name on that, handed it back, and said,
“Thank you for your support, Miss Mei.”
Mei Mu Lan took the script and stared at the three big words on the page with glowing eyes, her face was uncontrollably excited, and she performed the image of a fan getting an autograph from her idol with perfection.
She blinked her charming eyes and looked at Ling Yi Yao with an affectionate expression, saying,
“I’ll always be there for you, you’re the best in my heart! Keep up the good work!”
The director, who had been ignored as a set-piece for a long time, suddenly made his presence known, smiling broadly and saying,
“I didn’t know you were so fond of her, but since Ling Yi Yao is your idol, she’ll be your mentor for the rest of your life.”
Mei Mu Lan was immediately surprised and said,
“Is it really possible? But……”
With a look of embarrassment on her face, she said,
“This will not affect and delay the work of Queen Ling, right?”
With a gentle smile on her face, Ling Yi Yao said,
“No, I have long admired Miss Mei’s reputation, I won’t find it troublesome. Moreover, Miss Mei’s previous performance platforms are all top international art theatres, your performance experience is very rich, I believe you are a good student who can easily start.”
With a big smile on her face, Mei Mu Lan said,
“In that case, I’ll be counting on you after that, Teacher Ling.”
“You’re welcome, just call me Ling Yi Yao.”
Ling Yi Yao replied with a light smile.
At this time, an abrupt phone rang, and Mei Mu Lan looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the director answering the phone in a frenzied manner, saying,
“It’s me…… I’ve already got the part of the second female character…… You have to be interviewed by the producer to do this? Who said that? Big Boss…… All right then, I’ll send her over now.”
The director hung up the phone with an embarrassed look on his face as he scratched his head awkwardly and said,
“So, the producer just called and asked you to audition again, because the producer seems to be holding an audition for the supporting female character. Sorry, go for another interview, go through the motions, you’ll be selected anyway with your strengths.”
Mei Mu Lan froze for a moment and said after coming back to her senses,
“That’s fine, it’s the process, I can’t make any special distinctions, I’m on my way, director, where’s the interview?”
The director smiled toothily, reached out and pointed in one direction, and said,
“I’ll take you there. I guess the staff will give you a script and let you do an impromptu performance based on the script, and those who perform well will be selected as real supporting female actresses.”
“I see, then you can take me there first,”
With that, she looked at Ling Yi Yao again and said,
“See you later, Ling Yi Yao.”
Ling Yi Yao also stood up, smoothed out her ancient dress and said,
“I’m one of the interviewers, I’ll come with you.”
The three of them walked together to an ancient style tavern, Mei Mu Lan said goodbye to the director and Ling Yi Yao, then went to the waiting room for the female supporting roles.
As soon as she entered, she saw a dozen young and gorgeous women, who were now studying the script carefully in their hands. When they saw Mei Mu Lan walk in, they raised their heads and stared over, and only when Mei Mu Lan found a place to sit in the corner did they avert their eyes.
Mei Mu Lan sat alone on a sofa, her head hanging slightly, her long hair hiding the expression on her face.
In her mind, she recalled what had happened earlier, when her emotions were out of control and she had done some of the original owner’s daily actions. Even though the original owner’s soul is completely dissipated, the body still gives some instinctive reactions to reality.
She didn’t know why this was happening, and she didn’t know if anything like this had happened in previous missions. But this sudden event today has clearly given her a direction for her strategy.
The villainous BOSS mentioned in the plot is an apparently gentle and generous film queen, but in reality, she is a woman who has blood on her hands, was secretly raised in the underworld and has been a mentor to killers in the underworld for her entire adult life.
She’s a hothead, a frightening figure in the dark world, and even her uncle, who raised her from a young age, chose to kill her when their interests diverged.
At the same time she also sent people to murder the female lead several times, the novel explains that it was because if she could not be loved then it was better to destroy, not to say whether this is true or not, but the description of her ruthlessness is definitely the real deal.
And this time, such a woman became the object of her raid.
Ling Yi Yao is dark and ruthless, confronting her enemies and eliminating their roots. If she wants to take her on, the first thing she needs to do is to reduce her threat level, so that Ling Yi Yao feels that she is harmless and can be approached in depth, so that she can drop her guard.
And in order to achieve this, she must show herself to be harmless.
At the same time, she must show her affection for her in order to stop the “I only think of you as a friend” type of outcome from happening.
During her growing up years, many people must have wooed her, but they chickened out when they learned of her indifference, while this time, she chose to do the opposite and insisted on persistently adoring her to impress her.
When Mei Mu Lan thought of this, she suddenly recalled today’s oops incident, and she made this decision because of today’s incident.
Anyway, her image has already been ruined in public, so why not ‘break the pot’ and 'not do anything’ and choose the active pursuit mode, expressing her sincerity in all sorts of ways to brush up Ling Yi Yao’s goodwill?
Plus, the original owner’s situation would make this method work very well.
For example, the original owner’s background is so clean that even if the villains wanted to investigate her, they wouldn’t find out much dark information;
The people around the original owner knew about Mei Mu Lan’s affection for Ling Yi Yao, as well as the original owner’s posting and microblogging accounts, all of which could show that the infatuation for Ling Yi Yao herself came to light;
She was unable to control her feelings for Ling Yi Yao many times and basically got emotional and her eyes lit up when she saw her……
So, after combining all the above, Mei Mu Lan embarked on the path of a “martyr who is afraid of stalking girls”.
Mei Mu Lan figured this out and breathed a huge sigh of relief in her heart, no matter what, she already had a direction for her strategy, after that she just had to work hard in that direction.
With a goal to strive for, she was in a much better mood. She lifted her head and tilted the long curly hair on her forehead to the side, and then a woman dressed in a Republican student girl’s dress, innocent-looking and lotus-like, came into her eyes.
The woman had her hands folded in front of her at the moment, holding a folder, her smooth flat fringes hanging down in front of her forehead, and one foot on tiptoe. The whole person carried a strong school freshness style, two very different types from Mei Mu Lan herself. One is as light as a chrysanthemum, the other as enchanting as fire.
Mei Mu Lan noticed her at first because of her charming aura, but when she saw what she looked like, a deep thought flashed in her eyes.
This woman, she looked familiar, she had seen it in the original owner’s memory, and she had seen it many times.
Because this woman, the daughter of her father’s newly married stepmother, her stepsister, is also the female lead of this showbiz revenge reversal novel, Bai Jieying.
After recognizing her, Mei Mu Lan did not go over to talk to her, because their relationship was already full of conflicts, and now this white lotus-like harmless woman was already a blackened and mutated version, in the novel, she went from gentle and lovely mode to cold and ruthless mode in just one day.
Mei Mu Lan has always stayed away from these types of women, except for missions of course.
She leaned her back on the sofa, her whole body taking on a lazy pose, and Bai Jieying across the room must have recognised her too, but it was clear that she had no intention of recognising her on the spot either.
Mei Mu Lan suddenly thinks of the original owner’s death by poison. According to the original owner’s memory, the most likely people to poison the original owner are the stepmother and the female lead.
It seems that she still needs to get in touch with them, and perhaps in a few days she should also go back to the Mei family to investigate in person.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the director’s assistant came in with a stack of envelopes, which he placed on the table, and then said loudly,
“Here are the excerpts of the plays you will be performing, now come one by one and collect an envelope. After half an hour, those whose names are read out will be interviewed in the interview room next door. Okay, now who’s first?”
After his words landed, the women in the room, all of them, stepped forward slowly and unhurriedly, picked up an envelope from the table, then stepped aside to open it and look at it.
Mei Mu Lan waited until the end before she slowly got up to get her envelope, she brushed past Bai Jieying who also stayed at the end, ignoring each other like fellow passers-by.
Mei Mu Lan took the envelope and returned to the sofa to sit down. She tore open the envelope, picked up the white letterhead on a black background inside and read it line by line.
Half an hour later, the first person was called out for an interview, and the atmosphere in the room was noticeably more depressing.
Mei Mu Lan closed her eyes to herself and waited until her name was read before she slowly and enchantingly picked up the envelope with her fingertips and slowly walked out.
Entering the interview room, she was greeted by a completely empty place and handed the letterhead to a staff member who in turn handed it to the interviewer.
She stepped into the room without a glance, then turned to face the dozen people sitting across from her.
The director, sitting at the very centre, casually scanned the letterhead, then waved at Mei Mu Lan and shouted,
“Action!”
Mei Mu Lan then moves into the role of the female supporting role.
【Inside the dark and empty tomb room, two urgent footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Through the faint light of the candle, one can see a wonderful trajectory formation in the middle of the room. A woman in a purple body-hugging cheongsam, now looking at the formation with a wolfish look, said to the man beside her,
“Blood leads to the formation, the next hurdle requires blood to open the formation before the door to the tomb will open.”
The stocky uniformed man at her side, propping himself up on one leg, raised a rigid eyebrow at the words and said,
“Let’s wait for the next person to come and then turn it on. Let’s take a break, you come and hold me.”
The cheongsam-clad woman walked slowly over to him and the two leaned in intimately.
The uniformed man said with deep emotion,
“When you get that elixir of immortality, you can surely preserve your youthful beauty.”
The cheongsam-clad woman shook her head and inclined her head to look at the uniformed man, her beautiful, demon-like face could be seen in the dull candlelight, she was now licking her red lips gently, her eyes looking at the uniformed man with fascination, and then said with a soft smile,
“Say……”
She whispered;
“You love me……”
She murmured.
The uniformed man smiled at that and he said in a low voice,
“Mmm, love you.”
The cheongsam-clad woman laughed delicately, a vivid and seductive expression on her face, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face, crossing her cheeks and falling into the man’s chest.
The woman in the cheongsam laughed and cried at the same time, she frowned slightly and said,
“You’re very kind. You’ve always been very kind to me,”
She lifted her hand and caressed the man’s neck and cheek.
Then, like a snake-like white arm, it fell behind the man’s ear, a silver needle appearing abruptly, revealing its unsettling colour in the dark, obscure light.
The cheongsam-clad woman stabbed the silver needle deep into the back of the man’s head, and the long, thin silver needle actually pierced through the man’s brain and penetrated the whole thing.
The man stared with blood-red eyes, the expression on his face was one of distortion and disbelief as he died.
The cheongsam-clad woman 'giggled’ softly, singing a love song from Shanghai at night on her lips, and pushed the man to the ground, blood crumbling out of the corpse as the blood-initiated formation was broken and a blackened tomb passage was opened.
The woman in the cheongsam stroked her long, dishevelled hair and walked enchantingly into the tomb passage, the grey walls falling abruptly as she passed.
The scene is dark and the only thing in the air is a love song that is softly sung.】
