Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 385 - 380: Su Qiangwei Joins the Crew

Su Qiangwei was very kind to her fans, smiling as she took the book and pen Ye Tong handed her, signing her name on it and even drawing a simple rose behind it.

"Act well..."

The fans’ cheers drowned out her voice, but Ye Tong still read her words from her lips.

She was so excited she almost cried.

Oh my god! Su Qiangwei actually knew her?

Ye Tong took the signed book and nodded heavily.

The fans beside her remained enthusiastic, surrounding Su Qiangwei as they walked towards the entrance of the film base.

Ye Tong took a photo of the signature with her phone and sent it to the [Loving Sisters Group].

[Ye Tong: (photo) Freshly signed photo from my idol!]

Bai Xiaotang was the first to react.

A scream followed, an 18-second-long voice note was sent.

"Ah------Su Qiangwei! Sister Xiaotong, did Su Qiangwei really come to your cast? Is she going to make a cameo this time? Sister Xiaotong, I want the first-hand info, I..."

[You Le: Awesome! Can I get a signature?]

[Lin Yuanyang: (eyeroll) Bai Xiaotang, that woman is insane!!!]

[Huang Ying: ? Who is Su Qiangwei?]

[Bai Xiaotang: (horrified eyes) Instructor, you don’t know Su Qiangwei?]

[Huang Ying: Hmm... I don’t watch much TV.]

[Bai Xiaotang: War God! She was the lead actress in the first version of the "War God" movie!!!]

[Huang Ying: Oh, so that’s her! @Ji Ning]

Bai Xiaotang looked up in confusion, "Instructor, what are you @Sister Ning for?"

Lin Yuanyang pushed his glasses and gave her a glance, "Ask her yourself, she’s just upstairs!"

Bai Xiaotang glanced at the ceiling, shrank her neck, and quickly shook her head.

Although back in the Mingfu Garden, Instructor Huang’s training for them did not stop, even tougher than Sister Ning’s at the beginning.

She was so tired right now she didn’t want to leave the sofa.

On the other side.

Anhe Film and Television Base.

The enthusiastic fans who came were blocked by a black cordon outside the "War God" film set.

Su Qiangwei was welcomed by her old friend Lin Anqing to the director’s rest area.

In the rest area were the assistant director, producer, and a few newly selected leading actors.

When they saw Su Qiangwei come in, they all stood up cautiously, waiting nervously for Lin Anqing to introduce her.

Su Qiangwei is a renowned international film and television double queen, high in status, well-known, wealthy, and powerful, a recognized big shot in the circle.

She’s also a Hua Continent first-class actor, vice president of the Film and Television Association, a Huazhou Alliance Medal winner, and an International Golden Angel Award actress, influential not only in the Hua Continent but internationally as well.

Fans are all over the globe, according to Xingyu International’s official platform statistics, Su Qiangwei’s global fan count reached 1.02 billion. With a global population of only over 2 billion, her fans make up half.

With her current identity and status, coming to the cast is all due to Director Lin Anqing’s face.

"Let me introduce everyone, Su Qiangwei, Teacher Su, you should all be familiar?"

Everyone quickly smiled and echoed, respectfully calling: Teacher Su.

Lin Anqing then introduced Su Qiangwei to the producers, investors, assistant directors, and leading actors in the room.

Ye Tong, although a newcomer, was also introduced by Lin Anqing because she was one of the leads.

She was almost ecstatic.

Trying to maintain a composed face, but inside screaming like a gopher hasn’t stopped.

Su Qiangwei nodded and smiled at the other actors, but when it came to Ye Tong she unusually commented: "The young girl has spirit."

Lin Anqing was somewhat surprised that she noticed Ye Tong and naturally was willing to let her get more exposure, so he praised her a bit too.

This made some actors more famous than Ye Tong feel dissatisfied, and those who originally didn’t take Ye Tong seriously now couldn’t help looking at her a few more times.

Ye Tong’s expression became even more restrained.

Standing behind the producer, Jin Jiaojiao’s look towards Ye Tong had turned unfriendly.

During the 120th-anniversary celebration, she originally wanted to teach Ye Tong a lesson but instead got threatened.

Feng Lei even directly stopped some of her resources as a warning.

It’s all this bitch’s fault!

Jin Jiaojiao suppressed her inner anger, glanced around, a flash of cold ridicule in her eyes.

...

After the mutual introductions, Lin Anqing dropped a bombshell news.

Su Qiangwei will officially join the cast as a consultant advisor for the entire series.

This is definitely huge news for the cast.

Not to mention anything else, this news alone is enough to make the series a hit even before airing, gathering a large fanbase and popularity in advance.

And as actors of the three female leads, they are sure to receive a lot of attention.

Besides being happy, Ye Tong also felt an invisible pressure, urgently pushing her to want to become better.

This sentiment was shared by everyone in the cast.

Fame is a double-edged sword, while gaining various benefits, it also invisibly raises the audience’s expectations for the plot, actors, and even costumes and props.

Whether it’s the director, new and veteran actors, or prop masters and makeup artists, all personnel related to the series might be praised or criticized by the audience in the future.

This is the downside of remakes.

Back in the actor’s lounge, Ye Tong took a deep breath, picked up the freshly released script, and rushed to memorize the lines.

If the cast hadn’t given all personnel two weeks off for the New Year, she really wanted to focus on the set to hone her lines and acting skills.

This series is set to officially start shooting on March 1st.

Originally set for May, but Director Lin Anqing, having found his ideal female lead, brought the shooting date forward.

This doubled the pressure on the actors.

"Ye Tong, do you know Su Qiangwei?"

Lin Anqing’s new female lead, also the core actress of the series, Ling Zhi asked in surprise.

Ling Zhi was previously a martial arts coach, often promoting traditional culture on Xingyu, known as a martial arts circle influencer rather than a professional actress.

But Lin Anqing admired her neat skills and cool demeanor, so he pushed against all odds to make her a candidate for the female lead.

Later on, Ji Ning, whom Lin Anqing initially had his eyes on, refused to star, so he finally decided on Ling Zhi as the female lead in the new "War God."

Lin Anqing was quite bold in this casting, among the three female leads, two are unknowns and one a child star, only one had a bit of fame.

To quickly familiarize with their roles, Ye Tong and Ling Zhi shared a common lounge.

The two often sat together to exchange insights and got along quite harmoniously.

Seeing Ling Zhi curious, Ye Tong, also not wanting to be misunderstood, frankly said: "Today is the first time I’ve met Teacher Su in person, but I am an avid fan of hers. Look, here’s the autograph I just got!"

Ye Tong opened the autograph book on the table, grinning as she showed it to Ling Zhi.

"Ah... you should have reminded me, I should have gotten an autograph too." Ling Zhi hurried over, her face full of envy as she picked up the autograph book to look at it.

She was also a big fan of Su Qiangwei, and it was her influence that led her to learn martial arts back then.

The two giggled together, without any of the subtle feelings usually between actors.

When Jin Jiaojiao came over, a quick flash of disdain crossed her eyes.

She smiled at Ye Tong and congratulated her: "Xiao Tong, I didn’t expect you also have connections with Teacher Su Qiangwei, please take care of me in the cast from now on!"
