So what if she's a fake heiress? She's being pampered by a powerful figure in Beijing'

The farce outside did not affect Wenren Yue inside.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lu Wanzhou:

"What are you standing there for? It's your turn. Come in and audition."

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei gently pushed Lu Wanzhou inside.

The office door closed, and Wenren Yue glanced at Xie Junfei, whose expression was indifferent, with a hint of curiosity:

"For such an important audition, she's a newcomer actress going in all by herself. Aren't you worried as her agent?"

Xie Junfei smiled and shook his head:

"What's there to worry about? I already said she can definitely do it."

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet."

"If Lu Wanzhou gets the role, you'll treat me to dinner. If she doesn't, we'll go to Lishui Restaurant, and I'll treat you."

Upon hearing the name Lishui Tower, Wenren Ge's eyes lit up:

"Lishui Tower? Excellent!"

“My God, I’ve hardly ever been to that place. I asked my brother to give me his membership, but he was so stingy and absolutely refused.”

Xie Junfei smiled:

"Lishui Building has strict review processes, and Director Wen naturally prioritizes this task when needed for his work."

"If you want it, I'll let them know."

Wenren Ge wasn't stupid; judging from her relationship with Huo Lan, she could more or less guess her identity.

Upon hearing this, they did not refuse, but were extremely grateful.

Xie Junfei waved his hand and then talked to him about the script for this audition.

With economic development, women's consciousness has awakened.

In recent years, TV dramas featuring female entrepreneurship, female mutual support, and female growth have frequently become popular, attracting the attention of many producers and directors.

This trend has also reached the film industry.

This is the type of film that Wenren Yue is preparing to shoot this time.

In the Greater Khingan Mountains of Northeast China, there is a group of people who are stationed in the mountains and patrol every day to prevent poachers and loggers from harming national interests. They are called the Mountain Guardians.

Wang Xiaonan, in her early twenties, was an average student. In order to avoid her parents marrying her off to an older man with syphilis in exchange for a dowry, she accidentally saw a government notice recruiting mountain guards and volunteered to sign up.

And so, she, a southerner, came to the Northeast for the first time.

The work of guarding the mountain is arduous and dangerous, and the wages are low, so no one in the area is willing to do it.

Even if people come, most of them are just passing through and won't stay long.

The only person who had stayed to guard the mountain for decades was also losing his health.

Moreover, due to the harsh conditions, such positions have always been held by men.

Therefore, when Wang Xiaonan arrived, no one had high hopes for her.

Even she herself didn't have a high opinion of herself.

But in order to have her own income and control her own marriage, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep going.

Fortunately, with the care and companionship of the mountain guardian couple, she was able to persevere in the beginning.

The entire film contains no romance, only themes of responsibility and growth.

Even the only actor to win all three major film awards was playing the role of "father" in the story of the mountain guardians.

The film chronicles the story of Wang Xiaonan, who transforms from a timid and cowardly little girl into a resilient, independent, and stable woman after arriving in Northeast China, accompanied by the mountains and their guardians.

Xie Junfei read the entire script and found that it maintained the well-known editor's consistent simplicity and efficiency, with not a single superfluous word, yet it conveyed boundless power.

With Wenren Yue's scenes, as long as the female lead is well-chosen, winning an award is definitely not a problem.

The only downside is that filming requires going into the mountains, and the timeframe is very tight.

The film was shot in Northeast China, depicting the transition from winter to spring, to showcase Wang Xiaonan's gradual emotional growth and her changing attitude towards guarding the mountain.

Actresses who are willing to invest time in polishing scripts are not suitable for Wang Xiaonan's age.

However, most of the young actresses who are the same age as Wang Xiaonan are unwilling to give up the Spring Festival season, a period of explosive traffic.

Therefore, Wenren Yue didn't have many candidates to choose from for this casting.

This role might not be a good choice for other stars.

But for Xie Junfei, this was a very good opportunity.

Because Wang Xiaonan's life experience is very similar to Lu Wanzhou's.

Wang Xiaonan was born into a family that favored sons over daughters. She had an older sister and a younger brother, and she was the second child whom no one cared about.

Parents with weak family ties hoped that their beautiful older sister would marry into a wealthy family, while their young brother would carry on the family line.

As for their second daughter, Wang Xiaonan, it was nothing more than a dowry of a few hundred thousand yuan.

While Lu Wanzhou wasn't as unlucky as Wang Xiaonan, she wasn't much better off.

Lu Wanzhou is the eldest sister in her family.

When she was five years old, her parents had a younger brother, and from then on, Lu Wanzhou became her brother's personal nanny.

Because her mother gave birth at an advanced age and her prenatal checkups were inadequate, her younger brother has suffered from hyperandrogenic syndrome since childhood.

If a child like this would beat and scold his own parents, how much more so would he treat his sister who serves him?

So, at the age of fifteen, after being beaten half to death by her younger brother once again, Lu Wanzhou ran away.

She ran back to her hometown and lived with her grandmother.

Although my grandmother is old and lives in the countryside, she has a very open mind.

When this man, who had spent his life tending to the crops, learned that his granddaughter wanted to study acting, his first reaction was not to stop her, but to go back into the house, take the money he had earned from selling the crops this year, and hand it all over to Lu Wanzhou.

The little old lady's face was full of wrinkles, but her smile was kind:

“I heard that learning to act costs a lot of money, and my grandmother is not capable; she only has this much talent.”

“Good child, Grandma knows you are good at studying and will get into a university in Beijing in the future. Then you won’t have to suffer for the rest of your life.”

Lu Wanzhou refused her grandmother's money and studied even harder.

During this time, her grandmother and the local school also stopped her parents from wanting Lu Wanzhou to drop out of school so she could go back to get married and get a dowry.

Little fish, little fish, swim fast, free in all directions.

Lu Wanzhou eventually went to Beijing for her studies, becoming the hope of the entire small county.

The younger brother, Chaoxiong, whom his family raised with all their might, got into a conflict with a classmate at school and pushed the classmate off the sixth floor of the school building, ultimately causing the student's death.

This incident was extremely egregious. Her parents tried to exonerate their son by claiming he had supermale syndrome, but the victim's parents filmed the incident and posted it online, causing a huge uproar across the internet.

In the end, her son was brought to justice by the state authorities, and her parents were forced to leave their hometown due to public opinion.

The same lack of attention, the same family background.

The difference between Lu Wanzhou and Wang Xiaonan is that Lu Wanzhou at least has a loving grandmother who gives her the confidence to pursue her dreams.
