From the perspective of the victim Yoshitaka Morikawa, this may be a crime film, but if it is unfolded from the perspective of Ayane Morikawa, it is more like a revenge movie.

At the beginning of the story, Ayane appears in front of everyone as the gentle and virtuous Mrs. Morikawa. After two years of marriage, she seems to have endless patience with her husband Yoshitaka and is extremely considerate in all aspects. The two have always been a loving couple in the eyes of everyone in the company.

However, to Ayane, Yoshitaka is just a damn scumbag who doesn't treat women as human beings.

Ayane's former friend Junko was Yoshitaka's ex-wife. She loved Yoshitaka deeply, but because Yoshitaka cheated on her many times, she suffered from depression and eventually committed suicide by taking pills.

This is also the real reason why Ayane returned to Japan and tried to get close to Morikawa Yoshitaka - one life for another, she wanted this man to pay for Junko's life.

Since the law cannot punish such scum, she doesn't mind taking action herself.

So, Ayane spent two and a half years planning a "perfect crime".

"The script of 'The Hiroo Murder Case' is very sharp, and the cold and slightly paranoid character of Ayane is very suitable for you at this stage." Noticing Su Lingxi closing the script, Ruan Tang analyzed, "Compared to her previous screen images, Ayane's character setting is more distinct and powerful. Once critics and audiences accept this image, they will be more tolerant of the roles you play in the future, which can be regarded as helping you open up new acting avenues to some extent."

"Toudou Ryo is a director who is very good at telling stories with human nature. Kitagawa Yoshiko is his student, so she must be good at this. It just so happens that the people in Cannes have always preferred this kind of subject matter, exploring the alienation of human nature, the collision between emotion and reason... Their preferences have not changed in more than ten years."

Su Lingxi nodded in agreement, "This is indeed a script that was written at the perfect time."

The teacher's analysis of the character of Ayane makes sense, and his understanding of the character's traits is also very accurate - there is no doubt that this is the role they need at this stage.

When dealing with the cheating scumbag, Ayane did not choose to be tolerant and forbearing like most Japanese women, but decided to punish the betrayal with the most decisive and cruel means.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, she is a paranoid evil woman, but in the hearts of other people, she has means and courage that many people do not have. Her layout is exquisite and her mind is meticulous, which can be described as powerful.

She is even good at using everything she has, such as her appearance and keen observation, so she can accurately grasp the loopholes and weaknesses of human nature.

Different from the traditional image of a wife, she has a refreshing rebellious charm.

This is undoubtedly a role with a lot of room for development and can perfectly showcase the actor's acting skills.

Su Lingxi liked it very much and was very satisfied.

The only thing that worries her now is the scheduling issue.

"Hiroo Murder Case" is directed by Yoshiko Kitagawa, who became famous just a few months ago for being nominated for the main competition in Cannes. There is no doubt that this film is also a big production that has been cultivated.

For the actors, such large-scale productions often require more time costs: how long is the project's pre-launch period, how long will the shooting period last, whether it will encounter setbacks and be shelved... none of these are known.

For example, now, Su Lingxi can't keep wasting time waiting for Liv Morton's project to start, just for an uncertain result; but she is also worried that once she takes on "The Hiroo Murder Case", it will cause a schedule conflict between the two projects, and Fran will directly kick her out of Liv's project.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why actors find it difficult during the audition period. No one can guarantee whether the decision made at the moment is correct.

The more choices an actor has and the higher his or her status is, the more cautious he or she is in this regard.

"Don't worry too much. Miss Beichuan's project has been launched for more than two months. Now the entire crew is in the preparation stage and is selecting the female lead." Eva said lightly, "If everything goes well, there will be no possibility of any conflict between the two projects."

Generally speaking, the casting process of a production crew is carried out in the order of starring roles first and then supporting roles. The more important roles are decided earlier, while supporting roles and extras with few lines will only be cast when filming is about to begin.

This means that even if Su Lingxi successfully passes the audition and gets the female lead, she will still have to wait for a while before filming can begin, and the length of this waiting time is unknown.

"But the prerequisite for all this is that everything goes smoothly, and things are always uncontrollable." Ruan Tang said frankly, "To be honest, Lingxi, if you accept this performance invitation, you should be prepared to be out of the other project - there is no perfect solution for this matter."

"Yeah, anyway, I suggest you should seize the good opportunity that's right in front of you." Eva spread her hands, "Ms. Kitagawa treats you as her muse. Everyone knows that you won't lose in this audition as long as you perform normally, but it's hard to say about Liv Morton."

As a big-budget movie highly valued by the Japanese entertainment industry, it is absolutely impossible for the male and female protagonists of "Hiroo Murder Case" to be operated by the investors, unless the film has an exclusive investment from a big boss who is willing to spend money - of course, this is a very rare situation.

In addition, the selection of male and female protagonists is always fair and impartial, whoever is most suitable for the role will be selected. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the relationship is, you can only squeeze in the audition.

The reason why Eva was so confident about this audition was that Kitagawa Yoshiko's tendency as a director was too obvious.

The script describes Ayane's appearance more than once, "the face of an oriental beauty", "three-dimensional, deep and charming facial features"... After reading the whole script, you can find that the scriptwriter spent a lot of time and effort to express the image of this heroine, both externally and internally.

What a coincidence, most of these clearly directed words are related to Su Lingxi.

Just as Kitagawa Yoshiko said in the email, she really did regard Su Lingxi as her muse in her literary creation, and the characters she wrote also reflected her personality everywhere.

Under the circumstances, Eva didn't think the role of Ayane would fall into anyone else's hands.

Who else could be more closely aligned with the character than Su Lingxi, the "prototype"?

One has a 99% winning rate, while the other has only 20%, and it’s even volatile - even a fool knows which one to choose.

"No matter what, we can't just sit there for the entire second half of the year and do nothing." After pondering for a while, Su Lingxi made a decision, "Teacher, I think we should take this contract."

The feeling of urgency and anxiety is indeed uncomfortable, but...who can blame her for the fact that this role happens to suit her taste?
