Emma Watson had deliberately put on light makeup. She had on a white dress and stylish beach sandals; she looked dignified but also had the sharpness of a Queen. With her red lips, she looked playful and enchanting. However, when she pressed the doorbell, her expression wasn’t as calm as Hermione, but it was somewhat unnatural and anxious.

Yes, people always associated her with Hermione.

If she starred in any movie, most people would never say “Look, that’s Emma Watson’s movie!” Instead, they would say, “Look, the actress is Hermione!”

Emma became famous from a young age, but like all the other Harry Potter teens, she didn’t have a lot of spectacular roles outside of the series.

For her, her entire life was destined to be bound to Hermione Granger. By the age of 10, she defeated thousands of girls of her age and won the role of Hermione. Given the immense influence of the movie series “Harry Potter,” it was no exaggeration to say that she would have a hard time shaping the stage for her acting career beyond the “Hermione Granger” character for a long time.

For an actor, this weakness was fatal.

However, the partnership between Future Group and Warner Brothers allowed her to see hope.

Now, the outside world was heatedly debating the movie which would be using VR technology for the first time and which lucky actors and actresses would be selected.

Warner Brothers had a lot of actors and everyone wanted the opportunity. Emma was only one of many. While she had a good reputation, she hadn’t won an Oscar and couldn’t be called a premier Hollywood movie star.

It was difficult to compete for the role with her peers.

But she still had a fighting chance.

Given her partnership with Future Biology on nutrient supply endorsements, if Future Group put in a recommendation, Warner Brothers would seriously consider the proposal by their partner. Although she had no chance of being the protagonist in a nearly 100 million USD investment production, she could still compete for a supporting role.

Yesterday, her agent talked to her, hoping she could get this opportunity. Her agent even hinted that she should take the initiative to talk to Jiang Chen about it…

[God, this is crazy!]

As someone with high self-esteem, this was a request that was simply unacceptable to her. She had always tried to take on the role of an empowered woman and spoke about political correctness.

Just as her thoughts were running wild, the screen at the door lit up.

“Can I help you?” Jiang Chen pleasantly asked.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and smiled at Jiang Chen on the screen.

“Are you not going to invite me in?”

Jiang Chen put on a face of sudden realization and gave her a friendly smile.

“My mistake.”

With a clanking sound, the metal gate opened.

Emma looked at the opened gate, took a breath again, and walked inside.

After walking on the paved marble footpath, Emma was prepared to knock on the door, but the door opened.

A beautiful girl opened the door. She had slightly curly hair and a pair of sapphire eyes.

“Hello, I’m Emma Watson …”

“Ayesha.” The girl blinked her eyes. After she introduced myself, she turned around. “Please come with me, master will be waiting in the living room.”

Although she had met Jiang Chen at the party and knew about his easy-going character, she felt a little nervous sitting on the couch across from him.

The girl named Ayesha was pouring a cup of black tea for her. After thanking Ayesha, she gently took a sip and looked at Jiang Chen. However, when she and Jiang Chen sat face to face, she blanked out and forgot the speech she originally prepared.

“Is the tea good?” Jiang Chen smiled and asked to resolve her awkwardness.

Emma nodded quickly and said: “Very tasty.”

“I think Miss Emma certainly isn’t here to drink afternoon tea with me. What can I do for you?”

She had her hands tightly intertwined together and her thumbs twisted on her knees. Finally, she made up her mind; Emma confidently looked at Jiang Chen and made her request.

“I hope to participate in Time Curtain.”

Jiang Chen looked at her, somewhat puzzled. He opened his hands and said:

“Future Group’s Virtual Image is only responsible for providing technical support and does not participate in the filming of Time Curtain. If I remember correctly, the screening should be in Los Santos.”

“I participated in the screening a few days ago.”

“Oh? The result?” Jiang Chen asked.

“No news yet,” Emma said, embarrassed.

Instead of answering her request, Jiang Chen’s next question appe
