Chapter 981: Chapter 981 New Movie

"Alright, then let’s meet at the coffee shop outside your neighborhood! I’m heading over now," Lu Nian decided resolutely.

He had high hopes for Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi; since he had ushered them into the industry, Lu Nian felt that both Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi had great potential and wanted to properly nurture their talents.

Now, by fostering a good relationship with Shen Mianmian, he was sure she would prioritize his scripts in the future.

Shen Mianmian was unaware of Lu Nian’s thoughts, and even if she had been, she wouldn’t have held it against him; in her view, a mutually beneficial relationship was the most stable and enduring one.

She hung up the phone, walked out, and saw Old Xu packing up the chessboard, clearly, they had overheard her conversation.

Seeing her come out, Grandpa He said, "It’s getting late; we should be going back. You have things to do, so go ahead, but make sure you come back early in the evening. It’s not safe for a girl to be out late."

"Okay, Grandpa," Shen Mianmian nodded and said softly, "Director Lu asked Xiaoxi and me to meet and said he has a new script for us to look at."

"Mm."

Grandpa He nodded and then said to Ruan Feng, "Since they are busy, you should go back as well!"

Hearing this, Ruan Feng nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he said with concern, "If you need any help, just speak to Yiqian; he has some free time lately."

"Thank you,"

Shen Mianmian replied indifferently and saw them to the door.

"Mianmian, Director Lu has asked to meet with us again? Is there a new film?" Yang Xiaoxi was a bit excited. According to their previous analysis, they shouldn’t have been sought after for film roles until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Why was it happening sooner?

Shen Mianmian replied, "Lu Nian said there’s a script that suits us well and wants to recommend us for auditions. It’s not certain yet; let’s meet and talk first! I’m going to change my clothes; you should change too!"

Today, both of them were dressed casually, which was fine for shopping and eating out, but Shen Mianmian felt it would be better to spruce up a bit to meet Lu Nian.

After all, although she and Yang Xiaoxi weren’t big figures, Lu Nian was well-known, and in case paparazzi snapped a photo, of course, they wanted to look their best.

"Okay," Yang Xiaoxi nodded and quickly went back to her room.

Before long, both of them had changed clothes. When Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi arrived at the appointed coffee shop, Lu Nian had also just arrived. The three of them found a quiet seat and ordered three cups of coffee.

Lu Nian handed the scripts to them and went straight to the point, "This movie is a horror film; however, it has many comedic elements, set during the late Qing Dynasty, featuring sorcerers capturing zombies. There are two roles, one is the sorcerer’s female apprentice, and the other is a female vampire."

Shen Mianmian thought the theme was quite good, so she took the script and started flipping through it, Yang Xiaoxi, however, wore a look of surprise.

"A female vampire? So if Mianmian and I do this movie together, doesn’t that mean one of us will have to play a vampire?"

"Such a role would be quite challenging," Lu Nian nodded in agreement.

Yang Xiaoxi was timid; she didn’t dare to play a vampire, but if she indeed passed the audition, she couldn’t bear the thought of Shen Mianmian playing it either. So, biting the bullet, she said, "Then, if we’re going to audition, I’ll play the vampire!"

Shen Mianmian briefly skimmed the script and noticed that there weren’t many romantic scenes, mostly just comedic and horror scenes. If the audition was successful, taking the role would actually be quite good.

"Director Lu, I’ve looked at the script, and I really think it’s good. When you’re available, take us for the auditions!"
