Chapter 671: Chapter 14: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 14)

[Isn’t Jiang Lai known as a famous useless pretty face? How did she suddenly become so fierce?]

[Chinese martial arts really can’t be explained now, even female celebrities can casually do a few moves.]

[Hahahahahaha this video went viral overseas! Made it to the international headlines! Jiang Lai, you’ve made it!]

At the Hollywood film base, a well-known international director was worried about casting for the next series of hero movies.

At this moment, the assistant director beside him was browsing videos.

He glanced inadvertently and happened to see a scene of an Asian woman in a red dress doing a flying kick.

His heart skipped a beat instantly, and he directly grabbed the phone, staring at the woman inside.

"What movie is this?"

"It’s not a movie, it’s a live broadcast, a Chinese TV live broadcast."

"Live broadcast? Isn’t this pre-shot?"

Whether it’s the action, expression, or aesthetics, everything was spot on!

"I thought it was too at first, but I just asked my Chinese friend, and it’s indeed not pre-shot, and the video is not synthesized either. Chinese martial arts, quite impressive indeed."

The director watched the video carefully two or three more times.

"Magnificent. Is she an actress?"

"Yes, but she’s not very famous. You wouldn’t be considering..."

"Exactly! Help me contact her team and see if she’s available to come for our audition."

The assistant director nodded.

"Actually, I think it’s a good idea too. The new role has a significant part and romantic scenes with the lead, this girl’s appearance is quite suitable, and evidently, she has a martial arts foundation.

Maybe she is the Lotus bestowed upon us by God."

Lotus is the comic heroine in the third part of their series of hero movies, with red dresses, short hair, and excellent martial arts skills, gaining her place among the superheroes purely by her force.

Overall, she’s a very charming and likable character in the comics.

Also, she is the protagonist’s lover, hence having substantial parts, and there’s a high audience expectation, making the casting director even more cautious.

They originally had a few choices, but today’s sudden clip made the director hesitant again.

"Let’s have them all try first; perhaps after seeing the real person, I can decide if she is Lotus."

——

Jiang Lai had no idea what was happening outside.

After rescuing Jiang Qu, she still had important things to do.

The sheep just now had been kicked unconscious, lying on the ground and not getting up, and seeing Jiang Lai walking over, it paddled the air with its hooves but eventually could only scamper in place.

It seemed to have been quite frightened by that kick just now.

Jiang Lai directly took out a red rope and looped it. As soon as the rope was around its neck, this sheep suddenly seemed possessed, obediently standing up from the ground and then followed Jiang Lai silently.

Jiang Qu looked at Jiang Lai.

His current feeling was beyond words of shock.

"Why does it listen to you?"

"Jiang Qu, you need to use your brain a bit before doing anything.

Do you think you eat meat every day, so you can beat a sheep that eats grass?"

When others tried to teach Jiang Qu, he would get impatient and develop a resistant mentality, even wanting to do the opposite of what they said.

But when Jiang Lai spoke, he didn’t feel annoyed; on the contrary, he felt quite calm.

Jiang Lai spoke lightly and slowly, not like a lecture but like singing, and the sound felt as gentle as the wind in the mountains, comfortable to the ears.

"The red rope had been used to lead the head sheep, and other sheep, smelling the head sheep, will obediently follow."

"So you just now..."

"I went to find the head sheep."

The head sheep was hidden in the flock and not easy to find.

"Then how did you get this rope off?"

Ordinary sheep were so aggressive that you couldn’t even get close, let alone the head sheep.

"Oh, I beat it up a bit, and then it behaved."

"..."

Jiang Qu looked at the petite Jiang Lai in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel a bit of a chill down his spine.

He had done some quite excessive things before, and it really was fortunate for him that Jiang Lai held back from hitting him for so long.

With this piece of rope, the sheep within a hundred meters were all very obedient.

Jiang Lai counted them, then led away three with marked heads.

After finishing, she called out to Qu Yongjia.

"Come over, this is for you to grab."

The clueless Qu Yongjia was very moved to hear this and ran forward with his sister, gratitude on his lips, but then he heard Jiang Lai say another sentence.

"Only the winners will get rewards, don’t slack off."

Qu Yongjia didn’t react at first, but soon he understood.

Turns out Jiang Lai helped her catch sheep just to win rewards.

The smile on Qu Yongjia’s face instantly faded by more than half.

What does getting a reward have to do with her anyway, it would all belong to Jiang Lai at the end.

Ah...

Jiang Lai was too clever.

Three sheep were led to the shearing place.

The program rules stated that the first two would get rewards, and the last two would be penalized.

When Jiang Lai arrived, the wool on the sheep in front of Lu Ming was already half-sheared.

[Looks like we, the Huanming Brothers and Sisters, will definitely be the first place]

[Lu is super amazing; managing to shear so well on the first time!]

[The second place is probably Jiang Lai, though it’s not certain, I see Qu Yongjia is all geared up as if she wants to compete!]

Qu Yongjia indeed intended to compete.

Not for the reward, but to avoid the penalty.

The first place would definitely be the Huanming Brothers and Sisters.

Then the second place can still be contested.

Her physique was indeed much bigger than Jiang Lai’s, shearing shouldn’t be a problem.

At this time, Jiang Lai got the shearing machine.

A big razor, quite heavy to hold.

There was a poster hanging beside, with detailed pictorial instructions on how to shear sheep.

Jiang Lai looked at it carefully for a while.

[Hurry up! Qu Yongjia has already started!]

[What is Jiang Lai doing, surely she’s not learning the steps of professional shearers]

[Wow, I bet on you winning, Jiang Lai, don’t let me down!!]

Thirty seconds passed, Jiang Lai retracted her gaze and looked at the sheep in front of her.

Jiang Qu was ready to start, but Jiang Lai pulled him away.

"Kids, stand aside, I’ll do it."

"It’s really strong."

"Is it stronger than me?"

"..."

Not really.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Lai was going to tie up the sheep like the other guests, and then use the razor to shear piece by piece, Jiang Lai suddenly grabbed the sheep’s head, turned on the electric razor, and swept the sheep off its feet with a kick, flipping it over. Then, holding the sheep’s head with one hand and the shearing machine with the other, she sheared from top to bottom in one go!

She created a seam in the thick wool, following the seam against the skin, from top to bottom, front to back, left to right, and wherever the razor passed, the wool was sheared off in one whole piece, revealing the pink skin beneath.

One side finished in four minutes.

Jiang Lai spun the sheep around with one hand and did the other side.

Same steps and sequence, another four minutes.

Finally, she fine-tuned for the finishing touches, and in ten minutes, a slender, petite fresh sheep was born.

And on the ground lay a whole piece of wool.
