Emma's request made Jiang Chen realize the problem with selecting roles for the movie.
With the thought that it was no different suggesting one or two people, when Jiang Chen called Nolan, he mentioned the name Liu Yao.
"There is no problem with Miss Watson, her performance and acting skills are excellent. Kristen and she are both one of the best candidates for Captain Jennifer. Since it is your side's request, giving her the role is no problem. Just ... who is Liu Yao?" Nolan frowned.
"It's my friend. If it is convenient, just give her a minor role."
"Does she have experience in acting?" Nolan worriedly asked.
"Don't worry, she is quite famous in Han. Her acting skills are great."
"Then no problem, we'll provide her with a screening opportunity. But if she is not selected..."
"It's okay if she is not selected; just give her a screening opportunity. If she doesn't fit, just replace her with someone else, no need to be concerned of my side, " Jiang Chen said.
Nolan nodded.
He was mostly worried about Jiang Chen forcefully demanding a role for her. It would be unpleasant for both sides if he had to change the person, therefore, he warned Jiang Chen beforehand.
"I'm very picky about my role selection, tell her to be prepared."
"No problem."
Jiang Chen hung up the phone before he called Liu Yao.
"Hello? Do you miss me?"
"I miss you so much! Why did you remember to call me?" Liu Yao said joyfully.
"I can't call you if I don't have anything to do?" Jiang Chen laughed.
"Of course not."
"Are you going to be free any time soon?"
"Fortunately, I just finished a movie and I'm now in my free period. My agent is helping me to contact the next movie and this time she recommended I try to challenge the female lead role."
"Female lead... ah... pity, " Jiang Chen regretfully said, "I helped you contact a movie, but unfortunately is only a supporting role. Forget about it."
Liu Yao paused for a moment.
"A supporting role? Wait, which movie is it?"
"I think the name is... Time Curtain?"
Time Curtain!?
Liu Yao was astonishment.
Of course she had heard the name before, it was the movie co-filmed by Warner Brothers and Future Technology! The film was based on a novel by a Han writer. Any novel who received international awards would be highly portrayed in the country.
Participating in this film will without a doubt help her acting career greatly.
She just didn't think Jiang Chen would remember her for such an important movie...
[I'm only a mistress...]
"Are you not interested? Then I will give the role to someone else."
"Hello! Screw you... Don't bully me!" Tears rolled down to her smiling lips. She rubbed her eyes and coyly said.
The voice was trembling because of her emotions.
"Haha, I will stop teasing you. I already mentioned this to the director. Go buy a ticket to Los Santos and go screen at Warner Brothers."
"I love you so much, mua!"
"Don't be so happy yet, I'm only here to provide the opportunity. It is up to you to see if you can grasp onto the opportunity." Jiang Chen smiled, "Nolan is very picky with the acting of his cast. It is ultimately up to you to see if you can become a world class premier movie star."
Although Liu Yao became popular in Ma Dongmei's Brother a year ago, her popularity remained domestic. As a star that just entered the scene, her international presence was minimal.
It was a great opportunity for her to enter Hollywood through Time Curtain.
It was up to herself to see how well she could act in the supporting role.
...
Movie related tasks were put aside for now.
During the afternoon, Doctor Amos called and invited Jiang Chen to his lab stating he wanted to display his newest research achievement.
Arriving at Future Building, Jiang Chen took the elevator to the first floor.
Doctor Amos' daughter opened the door for him; that blonde loli afraid of strangers. But this time she didn't just run back to her father and instead, took him to the lab.
Perhaps because Jiang Chen often visited, she was used to the uncle...
If Jiang Chen knew that the loli already viewed him as an uncle, he would certainly have a mixture of emotions.
When Jiang Chen pushed opened the door, he saw Doctor Amos working on the back of a robot's brain with a precise welding torch.
Amos, who sensed Jiang Chen's presence, didn't turn his head. He closed the torch and connected the wires to the head before he started to ramble.
"Whoever invented the graphene chip is a genius! I installed Dragon Calvary X1 on the robot, take a guess what happened? Millian, go back to your room."
"Mhmm."
The little loli nodded sensibly. She threw her squirrel-tail like ponytails and ran outside of the lab.
Jiang Chen examined the layout of the lab before he focused on the robot brain on the table.
"What happened?"
Amos typed on the keyboard and inputted a few commands on the computer.
"An even more powerful robot!"
"... Can I interpret you as saying bullsh*t?" Jiang Chen looked at him, speechless.
Even as an outsider, Jiang Chen knew?that using a ultra-chip on the robot is equal to changing a CPU for the robot which meant a more powerful computational power.
"No, no, no, " Amos grinned, his eyes were replaced with zealous light as he pointed at the Phantom Helmet on the side, "Put on the helmet and try, I promise you will be astonished with what you will see!"
Jiang Chen looked at him with skepticism and picked up the helmet.
Doctor Amos owned Future Technology's highest S level technology permission which includes neural connection, the artificial intelligence database, seabed mining, and other non-public technology. Other people may not be able to open and modify the Phantom, but he could redesign one with the equipment in the lab.
But the cost of peaking at the technology a century ahead was that he must live under the monitor of a Ghost Agent for the rest of his life. Every message he sends and receives must be audited by Jean...
He lost all of his privacy and freedom.
Jiang Chen was not afraid that he would hurt him, he just didn't understand what he wanted to say.
"Put it on and try." Amos rushed in excitement.
Jiang Chen hesitantly put on the helmet and pressed the on switch for the helmet.
Then, he opened his eyes...
The scene before him was astonishing.
