The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Shu Wanwan looked at the folder sent by Gu Yanchuan and flipped through it casually. It was a costume drama about the struggle within the palace. The plot was roughly about the heroine being a concubine's daughter who was not valued, and then her whole family fell into trouble, and the heroine led the family back.

Shu Wanwan flipped through many pages until she found a character that caught her attention. She was a girl who was down and out at the beginning. Before the heroine's family fell into decline, the heroine saved her. Later, through her own efforts, she became one of the most successful courtesans. After the heroine's family fell into decline, she returned to lend a hand. This was the story. This character was the third female lead.

With her current resources, it is impossible for her to play the leading female role, and even the fourth, fifth, and sixth female roles may not be possible. However, she still decided to ask Gu Yanchuan. After making up her mind, she sent a WeChat message to Gu Yanchuan.

"Director Gu, I'd like to try out for the role of the prostitute, is that okay?"

"Okay, the audition for this role is next Wednesday. I'll send you the address, and you can come here at 10 am."

After Shu Wanwan replied to Gu Yanchuan, she looked at the calendar on her phone, wrote a memo, and counted the time. There were still 5 days left.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so he won't be setting up the stall these two days. She plans to use this time to review the books of the original owner's acting class, watch some online course videos, and watch some costume dramas.

After studying for a few days, Shu Wanwan felt that she had completely restored the original owner's memory and mastered the theoretical techniques. Now all she had to do was put them into practice.

"Beep beep..."

"Hello, what's going on?" The person who answered the phone was Jiang Jingchen.

"Young Master Jiang, are you busy?" Shu Wanwan asked a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Jingchen looked at the book in his hand and said, "I'm not busy, go ahead."

"I contacted the director you recommended to me a few days ago. He sent me the role to look at. I found the right one, that..."

"What's wrong? Tell me. I'll do my best to help you." Jiang Jingchen knew that Shu Wanwan was a cultivator and would definitely not ask him for anything shady, so he would definitely help her if he could. Moreover, if it weren't for Shu Wanwan, he might not even be able to see Shen Er for the last time. Even if it was a difficult request, he would definitely do his best to do it.

"Um...I want you to play a scene with me."

"Okay." Jiang Jingchen closed the book and arrived at Shu Wanwan's house shortly after hanging up the phone.

"Master Jiang, thank you. You are my little mascot." When Jiang Jingchen came, he also brought food for Shu Wanwan. Shu Wanwan was of course very happy, because she was a foodie before her rebirth. Begging was too hard when she was a child, so when she grew up, she would try her best to compensate herself in terms of food.

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. Isn't this how the word is used?

Shu Wanwan explained the audition plot to Jiang Jingchen in detail. Jiang Jingchen listened carefully, explaining every movement and expression to Shu Wanwan in detail. Shu Wanwan was naturally gifted, especially in acting, and it didn't take long for her to grasp the essence of the scene.

"Then I'll try it." Shu Wanwan said, and then started.

The audition plot was when the prostitute's family had just fallen on hard times and she was about to be sent to the army to become a military prostitute. It was a crying scene, and then the heroine saved her, and she became a prostitute in the teahouse opened by the heroine's brother.

After the performance, Jiang Jingchen thought to himself, "Is there any need to teach this?" Shu Wanwan was a natural actor. How did you say that? The chosen one. Jiang Jingchen applauded.

"Not bad." Jiang Jingchen praised generously.

"Really? Thank you." Shu Wanwan was already pretty, and now her smile was even brighter.

"By the way, what should I call you? I can't call you Master." Jiang Jingchen looked at Shu Wanwan and smiled faintly.

"Why don't you just call me Sister Shu? I'm one year older than you anyway." Shu Wanwan wiped the tears from her face that had just flowed because of acting, and then drank a sip of water.

"Calling you Sister Shu makes you sound old." Jiang Jingchen said calmly, "Just call me Wanwan. You don't look very mature anyway."

"No, just call me Sister Shu. I will protect you from now on." Shu Wanwan didn't want to be called like that by someone younger than her. She felt very uncomfortable.

"So I'm calling you, the silly girl who threw the kitchen knife?"

"Jiang Jingchen, are you sick..." Shu Wanwan was speechless and punched Jiang Jingchen on the shoulder.

After the two of them had some fun, it was almost dark, and Shu Wanwan saw Jiang Jingchen off. She started watching costume dramas again, wanting to see if there was anything she hadn't noticed, and to learn more about the details of other people's performances.

Jiang Jingchen gave Shu Wanwan guidance for another two days, not only on the audition plot, but also on the previous and subsequent parts, so that the plot could be more coherent.

Five days passed quickly. Shu Wanwan packed up and prepared to go out. Not long after she walked out of the community, she saw Jiang Jingchen's car.

"Come on, I'll drive you there." Jiang Jingchen was wearing sunglasses and a mask, which Shu Wanwan found very funny.

"Then I would like to thank Young Master Jiang." Shu Wanwan opened the car door and sat in. Jiang Jingchen looked at the address provided by Gu Yanchuan on Shu Wanwan's phone and drove directly over.

Jiang Jingchen and Shu Wanwan arrived at the crew. Jiang Jingchen did not go in but found a quiet cafe outside the crew to wait. Firstly, he was a public figure. If he was caught in the act, he would not be able to control the rumors that would spread, which might cause unnecessary trouble. Secondly, he did not want Gu Yanchuan to give Shu Wanwan the role for his sake. Shu Wanwan would not be happy about this. Shu Wanwan was studying so hard, she must have wanted to get the role through her own efforts. After spending the past few days with Shu Wanwan, he believed that Shu Wanwan could get the role. After finding a seat in the cafe, he sent a message to Shu Wanwan.

"I'll wait here, message me when you're done."

"Okay." Shu Wanwan replied simply.

After Shu Wanwan entered, she saw the crew had already set up the set. She then received detailed instructions for the audition from the receptionist. During the previous audition, only the content of the audition was announced, not the rules. The audition consisted of two rounds. The first was an emotional performance in a small room. After passing the first round, the second round began. The actors changed into the costumes provided by the crew and performed on the set to see their overall performance.

"You must be Miss Shu, right? Here's your number. Please wait here." Gu Yanchuan's assistant was handing out numbers at the waiting area. Actually, there weren't that many people auditioning, only about seven or eight. Shu Wanwan had been looking through the materials over the past couple of days. Extras were chosen from among the best, so seven or eight wasn't a lot. There were both new faces and small-time celebrities who were often in the public eye. These actresses all wore exquisite makeup and were striking in appearance, but Shu Wanwan, with her nearly bare face, didn't seem to be outshined by them at all.

Shu Wanwan took the number plate and saw that it was number 8, the last one.
