Chapter 497 - 497 We’ll Release The Video

497 We’ll Release The Video

“Luo Niannian knew what she would encounter if she returned to the country and walked the path she chose. She is a very smart girl, so she had already thought of both the good and the bad. When she resolutely chose the path she had chosen, she knew that it was already a path of no return.”

“I think she came back with the determination to die.”

“As an intelligence officer, she delivered intelligence and secretly printed newspapers with her friends. While she was fighting for the awakening of the people’s minds, she saw her colleague being arrested. As an intelligence officer, she was able to obtain information much faster than others, and what she handled was first-hand information. Before her identity was exposed, she had a good relationship with various forces. She was able to obtain very accurate information about what her colleagues had experienced after they were arrested.”

“That’s why she’s seen it before and was shocked. She knew what she would experience if she was caught. She had had many opportunities to withdraw and leave, so that she could live her life safely. But she didn’t. It wasn’t written in the script, but I think she must’ve had a very strong mental struggle after seeing what happened to her colleagues.”

“Knowing what she would experience after being caught, could she still persist on this path? Would she be able to withstand the same torture and death that her colleagues had experienced after being caught? She chose to walk down this path in the end, which means that she was already mentally prepared for this.”

“But when that moment comes, will she make any progress? I think she will,” Jiang Xun said. “That’s why she had a heavy expression when she hung up. She trembled when the first knock came. When she saw the Sixth Bureau staff downstairs, she lowered her eyes. I put myself in Luo Niannian’s shoes. At that moment, I was thinking about how to face the situation now. When I opened my eyes again, I had already let go of all the fear of the torture that I was about to suffer. Fear was only allowed to exist for a moment. After that, I won’t allow myself to show any weakness or disgrace in front of those scums.”

“So, I walked to the door, four or five steps away from it, and calmly waited for them to come in. I mocked them, I looked down on them. Even if I was caught, even if I was tortured, even if I was about to die, I still looked down on them. They don’t deserve my fear.”

Jiang Xun understood this feeling too well.

In her original world, she had been forced to join the army to do the clean-up work.

She couldn’t resist or change the result.

What she did after that wasn’t to protect the citizens of the underground city.

The people of the underground city actually had nothing to do with her.

She was not familiar with those people.

When she didn’t go to the surface, she would live in a small and dim dormitory where even the lights were pitifully small.

She ate in the canteen with her team members and would not go outside.

Therefore, she only had to protect her own team members.

They followed her because she wanted them to live as long as possible and not die in the mission.

She wasn’t as selfless and broad-minded as Niannian. She didn’t care about the world, she only cared about the people around her.

Every time she went on a mission, she would be afraid.

But in the end, she still chose to sacrifice herself to protect her team members.

She knew her fate from the moment she joined the army.

People who joined the army actually had a very slim chance of survival.

There were too few people who could leave the army alive.

Therefore, she had never expected to live until she was discharged from the army.

However, every time she was faced with danger, she would still try her best to survive.

But when she was about to die, she was calm again.

Those things that were not even human were not worthy of her fear.

Just like those who had come to capture Niannian, those who had colluded with the enemy and bullied their own people.

Those things were not even human, they were not worthy of Niannian’s fear!

“Clap! Clap! Clap!” A round of applause suddenly rang out in the room.

Ji Cheng couldn’t hide his excitement and started clapping. “Well said!”

“This is the Luo Niannian I understand! It’s also what I understand as the ancestors who paid with their lives for this!” Ji Cheng sniffled and smiled as if he had been relieved. He did not laugh out loud, only sighing as he laughed.

“The young people in this movie are all ancestors who lost their lives for their dreams and home in their best years,” Jiang Xun said calmly. “Any superficial show of fear and exaggeration is an insult to them. They should still be dignified even after hundreds or thousands of years.”

“That’s right!” Yiwu’s eyes were red, and he took a deep breath to calm his emotions before saying, “The audition lacked scenes and costumes, but it still brought me into it. I’m really looking forward to it. I want to film the best young people of that era!”

Ji Cheng took a deep breath, and his breathing was a little shaky.

The man turned to Mingguan with red eyes. “Director Li, Brother Li, do we still have to choose? I’m sure everyone can see who’s the most suitable to play Luo Niannian!”

“Let Jiang Xun act as Luo Niannian,” Yiwu said. “Anyway, my vote is for Jiang Xun. Our video is being recorded here.”

“I’ll give my vote to Jiang Xun too!” Ji Cheng immediately said.

Out of the three of them, two votes had been given to Jiang Xun. However, since Niannian was Mingguan’s character, Mingguan’s choice was the most important.

Yiwu and Ji Cheng’s choices could only be said to be a type of support.

“Little Jiang, don’t worry. If it’s not you in the end, we’ll release the video!” Ji Cheng said.

Ji Cheng and Yiwu both knew that CEO Yao had already told Mingguan to let Youlan play the role of Niannian.

They didn’t take it seriously at first. After all, it wasn’t a role in their unit, but Mingguan’s. The decision was naturally in his hands.

Youlan’s acting skills weren’t bad either.

It wasn’t like they got an actor with bad acting skills.

If that was the case, Mingguan wouldn’t have agreed.

However, after seeing Jiang Xun’s performance today, Yiwu and Ji Cheng felt that Youlan’s performance just now was nothing.

It would be outrageous if Mingguan didn’t choose Jiang Xun.

“If Director Li really doesn’t choose you, I’ll definitely arrange a role for you in my unit. You can choose any role you want.” Yiwu immediately said.

“Me too, me too.” Ji Cheng was not willing to fall behind and even raised his hand, as if he was afraid that Jiang Xun would not see him.

Jiang Xun had a bold idea. “Even if you’ve already decided on someone else for the role that I’m interested in?”

Unexpectedly, Yiwu actually said without hesitation, “Definitely!”
