Although Director Thomson had taught himself Chinese, Shen Susu spoke too fast and he could only understand a few characters.

But he understood Shen Susu's expression.

This is a fellow traveler!

"Are you also a novel reader?" Director Thompson asked Shen Susu excitedly.

With Fu Huaijin translating, there was no problem in the two of them talking.

Seeing Shen Susu nodding vigorously, Director Thomson said, "I really envy you. As native Chinese, you must have more opportunities to inherit than us."

Although Shen Susu was fascinated by the novel, she was not like Director Thompson, who believed the world in the novel to be true.

She tried to tell Director Thompson that none of this was true.

But Director Thomson shook his head and said, "Your Chinese Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years. Is it fake?"

Shen Susu could only say: "Taoism is real, but cultivating immortals is not necessarily real. Even our martial arts are far from being as exaggerated as shown on TV."

When Director Thomson heard this, he shook his head vigorously: "Taoism is real, cultivating immortals is real, and martial arts is even more real. Don't try to deceive me!"

Shen Susu: ...

Director Thompson even took out his mobile phone on the spot and showed a video to Shen Susu.

"Look, isn't this one of the masters of your Chinese heritage?"

Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin watched the video together. The video showed a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a bun on his head. He said, "You must believe in science." The next second, the Taoist priest turned around and did several ups and downs on the cliff, exactly like the legendary Qinggong.

"This video is real! So cultivating immortals is also real!" Director Thompson said firmly.

Shen Susu seemed to have seen this video as well. There was indeed no sign of editing in this video: "This person is a special case. He runs this route almost every day, so his figure looks particularly graceful. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve such an effect..."

Director Thomson's eyes widened and he said, "Look, you also said it was true!"

Shen Susu felt as if she had admitted something extraordinary.

Director Thomson continued, "The Taoism in your country doesn't care about money or fame. They don't care even if they are misunderstood, because their motto is, do whatever you want, don't disturb me from ascending to heaven. Look, they keep talking about ascending to heaven!"

"So, cultivating immortals is real! As long as you work hard and find a teacher who teaches you with all your heart, you may become an immortal in heaven!"

Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin just felt their scalps tingling: Oh no, this foreigner's logic is really self-consistent.

Jackson, who originally didn't pay attention to Chinese immortal cultivation, also became excited: "Director Thompson, you are old, it may be difficult for you to embark on this path, but I am different, I am still young! Maybe I still have a chance to ascend!"

Shen Susu and Fu Huaijin looked at each other, and the couple had the same thought in their minds: It's bad, both of them are brain-damaged.

Seeing that the legend of the immortal hero was being passed on from person to person, Fu Huaijin was afraid that the two foreigners would pester him and ask him where the hermit master was, so he could only say, "Maybe it's true, but we haven't come into contact with him. Maybe our roots are not strong enough, so no master wants to take us as disciples for so many years."

Director Thompson and Jackson both looked at the couple with sympathy.

"Don't be too discouraged if you don't have talent. You never know when you'll find a small bottle and change your fate," Director Thompson consoled.

Fu Huaijin: ...Thank you so much.

"Mr. Thompson, can we start today's audition?" Fu Huaijin didn't want to keep talking to them about cultivating immortals, so he tried to change the subject.

Director Thompson nodded vigorously and said, "You can go change your clothes now."

When we contacted each other by email, Director Thompson also said that he hoped they could bring their own costumes. After all, firstly, he didn't know their body shapes, and secondly, the director felt that the costumes should be as local as possible.

After Shen Susu entered the fitting room, she came out wearing a white Taoist robe. She tied her hair into a Taoist bun by herself, and held a peach wood sword provided by Director Thompson in her hand.

Shen Susu picked up the peach wood sword and couldn't help but frowned.

Director Thompson immediately asked, "Shen, is this sword not good enough? Do you want a heavy sword?"

Shen Susu shook her head and said, "In traditional Chinese culture, peach wood swords are usually used to catch ghosts and ward off evil spirits."

Director Thomson suddenly realized something and said, "That peach wood sword is indeed not very suitable. Your character is a senior disciple of an immortal sect. You cultivate immortality, not catch ghosts."

In fact, Shen Susu still doesn't know what the content of his script is. She only knows that it contains magic, cultivation of immortals, and even Yin-Yang magic from the neighboring island country. Anyway, at first glance, it feels like a hodgepodge.

"Please try it out first, and I'll replace it with a usable sword later. If you have any requests, please let me know. I'm definitely not as knowledgeable about Chinese traditional culture as you are."

Although Director Thomson is very famous, he has always been very humble and will not make comments in areas he does not understand.

Shen Susu picked up the peach wood sword and performed a trick according to Director Thompson's request.

Nowadays, we just check whether the actor’s body shape is neat and whether it matches the director’s imagination after changing into clothes, and then we will invite a professional martial arts instructor to design the action for the movie.

Director Thompson was full of admiration: "Shen, I feel like you really have some martial arts skills. You are the senior sister in my mind. As soon as I saw your moves, I felt that you would definitely lead us out of the encirclement."

After praising Shen Susu, Director Thompson urged Fu Huaijin to go for an audition.

Fu Huaijin checked his schedule and it seemed that he could make time, so he didn't completely refuse.

He picked up the peach wood sword and performed a few moves.

Jackson, a famous action star in the United States, saw Fu Huaijin and was eager to show off his skills. He took out a stick and asked Director Thompson, "Can I do it?"

Shen Susu frowned slightly. Fu Huaijin was holding just an ordinary peach wood sword, and the stick Jackson was holding didn't look light. She was afraid that Jackson might not be careful enough and hurt Fu Huaijin.

"Okay." Fu Huaijin said suddenly.

Jackson no longer had any scruples.

With one more person joining the fight, Shen Susu and Thompson both thought it would be a one-sided situation because of the weight of the weapons.

But Fu Huaijin's hand holding the sword was very steady, and he seemed to have learned kung fu. With a clever move, the peach wood sword hit the back of Jackson's hand.

The next second, Jackson threw the stick out with great effort.
