Zhao Youyue entered the Two Dimensional Gate and possessed the sleepwalking girl with the name “xxx.” xxx walked about for no less than three minutes before plummeting in the waters and drowning. Lady Zhao gave a deep bow and left the stage…

She had not spent much time in the ‘Two Dimensional Gate,’ so its cooldown period would be proportionally short. Therefore, Zhao Youyue did not need to wait long before her next gacha draw – no wait, that’s wrong, another random attempt in the literary world. As always, she went in, full of confidence, believing that her next random encounter would be a fruitful one!

Zhao Youyue felt that her popularity in the real world had yet to reach its peak. After all, the more popular she got, the better she got at utilizing the ‘Two Dimensional Gate.’ For starters, she could aim for the Student Council President spot. Furthermore, there was no more meaning in staying low-key.

Her existence was like a bright moon on a dark night. No matter how well she hid, the land could never hide from her moonlight!

Now, an opportunity had presented itself, courtesy of Han Leng. The movie for ‘Beautiful April’ had commenced filming. The actress for ‘Chu Luoxun’ became a hugely discussed topic on the internet!

Han Leng secretly hoped that Lady Zhao would step up to the role. The image of Lady Zhao playing the violin had long haunted his mind. Before his very eyes, she would transform into the perfect goddess, Chu Luoxun!

His logical mind had never been once able to determine the cause of this. At times, Han Leng thought that he was an incredible psychic. ‘Lin Meiyue’ was supposed to have been based off Zhao Youyue. How did Lady Zhao end up as Goddess Chu? This was so illogical! Did he have some premonition of the real Lady Zhao and wrote it in the form of Goddess Chu?

However, something was very clear. Even if Lady Zhao was the perfect embodiment of Chu Luoxun, but asking someone who had no acting experience to play one of the main female characters of a major, intellectual property movie might raise some difficulties!

Even so, Han Leng thickened his face and begged Lady Zhao. He was certain that no one else could play the Goddess Chu Luoxun. She had to save her from ruin!

Nobody else could play the violin like her, except for Lady Zhao. A normal actress would only be able to act it out and play pretend. Ah Yu would still have to do the voiceover and the soundtrack. They needed Ah Yu, the big Buddha, and loads of post-processing. This could all be circumvented if Lady Zhao played the part directly. She would be able to show the power of Goddess Chu’s violin!

Zhao Youyue did not agree nor reject his request. She simply expressed her willingness to consider it.

In reality, even if the ‘Chu Luoxun’ character card kicked in, she might not be able to play the role adequately. Chu Luoxun was not an actress, so she could not simply act out according to a script…

When cameras roll, untrained humans would never be able to resist stealing it a glance. On the other hand, any other actress would not have firsthand experience of Chu Luoxun’s journey in the literary world. Their interpretation of Chu Luoxun would never match the genuine article.

Back to the first issue. Look at biographical films that featured people playing as themselves. Could they even act properly?

Obviously, that was impossible. It would be effortless for the important figure to make a special guest appearance of themselves and reveal their faces for a few minutes. However, if they were to act as the main character and act out the entire movie, things would be very different!

Zhao Youyue had seen the heated discussion about the casting online. Many avid readers would start to select their favorite stars. The two characters – Chu Luoxun and Lin Meiyue would get mentioned in just about every comment. On the other hand, some commenters claimed to not even remember Gu Yuan…

In actuality, it would take a great deal of skill to play as Gu Yuan. He was a boy who had a torrential storm in place of a working brain. He would be constantly conflicted, internally and externally, while also trying to figure out how he actually felt about the two girls. Pretty faces would not be enough to play as these characters. On the other hand, superb acting skills might just overpower a mediocre appearance. Anyway, Gu Yuan was not supposed to be some drop-dead, handsome guy. At most, he had delicate features.
