What if My Brother is Too Good?

What if My Brother is Too Good? Chapter 231

Although there were hardships, there was even greater love in life.

The selflessness of kind people had helped her regain her faith in chasing her dreams.

After experiencing a series of setbacks, Qi Yuanmeng finally stepped out onto the highest stage in the world.

In the end, she completed the transformation from ugly duckling to white swan and successfully realized her dream.

After reading it, Huo Wu found that it was a script with laughter and tears.

There was bitterness, but there was also sweetness; there had been darkness, but now there was light.

In the final scenes, everything fell into place at once and brilliant future prospects unfolded in front of Qi Yuanmeng.

All her efforts and sweat have paid off.

And behind her success was the support given to her by kind people.

By the time Huo Wu finished reading this script, her hands were already trembling.

Only now did she know that this drama would be directed by the Hong Kong director, Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was the only outstanding director in China who had won the Oscar for Best Director and had been nominated twice.

Five years ago, when he got the 75th Academy Award for Best Director, he resolutely chose to retire in the midst of the height of his career. In the past five years, he has never directed another movie. Countless people wanted to invite him to shoot a film, but he ended up turning them all down.

But this time, after a five-year lapse, he would once again come out of retirement.

There was no need to ask. Huo Wu knew that this was all due to Huo Yusen.

It was he who invited such an internationally renowned director.

This was the most precious New Year’s gift she had ever received.

Whether it was for herself or for Huo Yusen, this time, she would spare no effort to act in this movie well.

A month later, Huo Wu and Director Lin Yuan had their first meeting.

When Huo Wu entered the entertainment industry, this extremely prestigious director had long since withdrawn from the limelight, so although she had heard of his name for a long time ago, she had yet to meet him. Little did she know that the first time they'd meet was when she would become the star in a movie directed by him.

Lin Yuan still looked young. He wasn't yet 40 years old, but he could be regarded as a director even better than Fu Yining and more talented at that.

He didn't look serious and had a decent smile on his face.

Huo Wu nodded towards him. "Hello, Director Lin."

"Okay, take a seat."

Huo Wu sat down in the seat opposite him.

Lin Yuan looked at Huo Wu up and down several times, but his gaze did not make people feel offended or uncomfortable.

He crossed his arms in front of him and spoke with some surprise, "Miss Huo, you're thinner than I expected."

Huo Wu smiled. "After I learned that I was going to play Qi Yuanmeng, I lost six kilograms in a month." Qi Yuanmeng was a ballerina, and ballerinas had somewhat thin frames. Nonetheless, Qi Yuanmeng was different from ordinary ballerinas. She was living in poverty and was carrying heavy family burdens on her shoulders. Although she had a lot of help along the way, Huo Wu pictured Qi Yuanmeng on the gaunt side.

"Six kilograms?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuan really didn't expect Huo Wu to achieve this.

Lin Yuan pondered for a couple of seconds before saying, "You should know that no domestic actor or actress has ever received the Oscar for Best Actor or Actress, which shows the gold content of this award as well as the high standards for such an award."

"Yes."

Lin Yuan leaned back and looked at her with a smile. "You're very ambitious."

Huo Wu smiled faintly. "I think that I have the capital to achieve this."

Lin Yuan shook his head and let out a laugh. If he had heard someone else say this line, he definitely would have scoffed. But now that the person who said this was Huo Wu, he couldn't refute it at all.

It wasn't just because Huo Wu's personal ability was outstanding to the point that you'd be captivated, but mostly because she had the top resources. This time, Huo Yusen paid a lot of money for a well-known foreign screenwriter to personally write the script. At the same time, he not only invited him as a director but also invited Emma, the Best Supporting Actress of the 76th Academy Awards, to act as Qi Yuanmeng's dance teacher who taught her for free.

Emma's acting skills and international influence were, of course, beyond all expectations. Huo Yusen spent a fortune to invite her to be a supporting actress in the drama. He probably wanted Emma to teach Huo Wu some useful tips and make use of her international influence to garner more attention for The Swan's Dream. By then, Emma would have the chance to show off her acting skills in the drama. This news was expected to stir up several waves in the industry.

This time, from the script to the director and supporting cast, it wasn't too much to say that it was the ultimate package.

From the very start, The Swan's Dream had a clear target, which was aimed at the Oscars.

Lin Yuan looked at the young and tender face in front of him, thinking in a daze that she might indeed make history.

Lin Yuan slowly stood up. It was really nice to have money and power. Even famous Hollywood movie stars could be easily motivated to get involved. Didn't he, an ordinary man, also choose to make a comeback in the end because of the extremely generous offers that Huo Yusen made?

He extended his hand at Huo Wu and said with a smile, "May we have a pleasant time working together."

Huo Wu followed suit and took his hand with a gentle smile. "Happy cooperation."
