Chapter 698 -698: In June I will take the college entrance examination
Adding to the buzz at this time, the production team had just edited Qianxun’s iconic action from the set, which, once seen by the audience—the way Qianxun clenched the poker card—led to an increasing number of people being dazzled, choosing to head to the cinemas for the high-definition version.
After watching it, regardless of the plot, as some people said, just for the female lead’s looks alone, the price of admission was well worth it.
So, a day later, the box office for the premiere of Gambling God 2 perfectly surpassed that of Gambling God 1 and even doubled it.
Director Zhong and the investors were grinning from ear to ear while several people became even more interested in Qianxun.
This Su Qianxun had previously turned down their conditions, but if there were a chance in the future, they were definitely going to try to negotiate with her again.
And after the huge success of two consecutive movies, it further solidified the recognition of Qianxun’s acting skills. At the same time, some famous directors, who originally hadn’t considered Qianxun, were now sending her their scripts.
After screening them, Ruan Mianmian handed Qianxun three scripts scheduled for filming in the second half of the year.
After skimming through quickly, Qianxun said, "Let’s go with this one!"
Seeing the script Ruan Mianmian picked up, Qianxun had chosen a crime thriller called Shadow.
In fact, the movie was centered around two male leads, with the female lead—not having an overly large role—and also being the antagonist.
However, the female lead’s character was very eye-catching. If well-acted, it would be another project that could establish Qianxun’s reputation as a skilled actress.
"Wouldn’t you want to consider the other two a bit more? They are both big-budget productions," Ruan Mianmian pondered but still asked.
The other two were carefully prepared by renowned directors, and one of them had been screening actresses for nearly a year.
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian’s remark, Qianxun shook her head and said, "No need, have you forgotten? I’m taking the college entrance exams in June. The filming for both of those movies starts in May, which doesn’t fit my schedule. Plus, I really like the character in Shadow, and the role isn’t too demanding, just perfect."
Moreover, she was planning to release a new album this year—taking on those two productions would mean joining a crew for at least half a year.
Those two movies would naturally conflict with her plans.
...
Upon hearing Qianxun’s decision, Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and then nodded, "That makes sense."
"Then I’ll secure this role for you," Ruan Mianmian said.
"Okay!"
Afterward, Ruan Mianmian left with the script in hand.
Not much later, the notice for the filming of the second episode of "I’m a Supermodel" arrived.
They had chosen Italy as the location, and Qianxun would be flying to Italy the day after tomorrow.
Thinking about how she wouldn’t be able to see Huo Tianzun for a week, Qianxun put aside her work and returned to the Demon Management Bureau.
After spending an affectionate day together, Qianxun took a flight the next day to Rome, Italy’s capital.
Rome was a city rich in cultural heritage. On the way from the airport to the hotel, Qianxun looked with great interest at the city’s impressive architecture.
After arriving at the hotel, Qianxun lounged on the bed, considering it a way to adjust to the timezone.
"Xiao Tian and I are staying in another hotel just two kilometers away. If you need anything at all, come find us at night," Ruan Mianmian advised before leaving Qianxun with the production team.
After all, being overseas, their influence was limited, and they mightn’t be able to help in time if Qianxun were targeted by Carlos.
Hearing Ruan Mianmian’s words, Qianxun nodded and said, "Of course! Tonight, I also want to video call Yanzhi."
