669 I Want the Female Lead’s Script!
Chu Yuan rejected all of them. It was as if he had disappeared from the entertainment industry.
What followed was the entertainment industry’s attention on Shi Xi.
The moment Shi Xi opened her Weibo, she saw tens of thousands of posts. All of them were tagging her, asking about her relationship with Chu Yuan.
Shi Xi was speechless. She only knew that Chu Yuan had a crush on her after seeing Chu Yuan’s Weibo!
“[Sky Blue] has sent you an interview invitation,” Han Chuan said.
At the thought of this drama, Shi Xi furrowed her brows. “Didn’t Nan Wan get selected for [Sky Blue] internally?”
Why did they still send her an interview invitation?
“[Sky Blue] said that they didn’t have an internal agreement. They invited you this time to clear up the rumors.” Han Chuan could roughly understand the director’s thoughts.
Nothing could convince the netizens that [Sky Blue] didn’t have an internally decided female lead better than interviewing Shi Xi again.
“What does their internal decision have to do with me?” The thought of Nan Wan annoyed Shi Xi. “I’m not going. It doesn’t matter to me who the female lead is.”
Han Chuan: “[Sky Blue] is an S+ production that Central TV has nominated. Are you really not going for the interview?”
“There’s no free lunch in the world. The producers of this drama are Nan Wan’s relatives. If I go, I’ll be courting death. What has Lou Ruicong been busy with recently?” Shi Xi asked as she recalled something.
“He’s in the crew. He’s a supporting male character in a war film,” Han Chuan’s mouth twitched.
“The main show.” Shi Xi couldn’t imagine Lou Ruicong acting in a drama.
“Don’t worry about him for the time being, just arrange your schedule,” Han Chuan said.
There were very few people who didn’t have to worry about Lou Lou, but about Shi Xi.
“Wasn’t there an ancient script that was looking for me?” Shi Xi pondered.
Han Chuan sat opposite Shi Xi and said seriously, “Mr. Shi came to me before.”
“Eh? My brother was looking for you? What’s the matter?” Shi Xi was confused.
“Mr. Shi said that if your movie doesn’t get 500 million at the box office, you’ll leave the entertainment industry. Do you still remember this?” Han Chuan asked.
Shi Xi’s expression instantly turned sour.
Of course she remembered!
Shi Xi had a deep impression of the time when she had been tricked by Shi Xu and Shi Chen.
“The movie hasn’t been released yet, has it?” Shi Xi’s face darkened. “My brother won’t let me take over the scripts?”
“It won’t be long before the movie is released. If you accept the script, it will probably be the last one,” Han Chuan reminded.
“Do you think the box office won’t break 500 million yuan?” Shi Xi couldn’t help but ask.
Han Chuan changed the topic and said, “Let’s talk about your requirements for the ancient drama. Two A-grade ones, one sweet, and a weird female master. The other one is for the female lead, and the female lead is calm and wise.”
“You just don’t believe me!” Shi Xi said.
Han Chuan continued to change the topic. “I think this weird one is not bad. It suits you very well.”
Shi Xi was insistent on going against Han Chuan. “I want the script for the female lead!”
Han Chuan handed both scripts to Shi Xi. “Take a look at the two scripts first. You’ll be on a variety show this week. Give me a reply after you’ve thought about it.”
Shi Xi took the script and asked, “What variety show? It can’t be some survival variety show, right?”
“No, it’s a variety show you’ve been on before. They’re looking for you again,” Han Chuan replied.
Shi Xi looked at her schedule.
It turned out to be [Dragon Style Martial Arts Show], an irrelevant reality show that she had been on before.
They invited celebrities and guests to learn the Dragon Form Fist art every episode. They had invited Shi Xi once before, and this time, they invited her again.
At the thought of how the program could promote ancient martial arts culture in a modern era where ancient martial arts had declined, Shi Xi agreed immediately.
