Zhu Lin explained, "This is called 'Female Lead with No Romance,' which is a very popular genre right now. The female lead focuses on her career and doesn't date."

Shi Xi pondered for a moment and asked, "Will the audience accept it?"

Whether the market likes it or not is the most important thing.

Zhu Lin: "This is still under discussion. Tianyu said she could change it to a romance novel."

Shi Xi sighed.

It's so hard to make a TV series.

In the past, she wouldn't have needed to think twice; she would have just taken the picture.

But now that she has gained some fame, she has to worry about the show not flopping.

"Let me think about it some more." Shi Xi planned to collect some data first to see how accepting people were of no romantic pairing.

Seeing Shi Xi's worry, Zhu Lin said, "Okay, I'll export the data table of fantasy dramas from recent years and send it to you later."

Shi Xi nodded.

There always needs to be some data as a foundation.

Novelty doesn't put food on the table!

.

Shi Xi isn't ready to take on any dramas yet, but all sorts of gossip are already circulating online.

@FirstLineOfGossip: [Gossip: The drama "The Princess's Tale" is currently in talks with Shi Xi.]

[What?! Shi Xi is going to play Di Qingling?! Waaaaah, no way!]

【Don't ruin my portrayal of Qingling! How could Shi Xi possibly play a leading lady?】

[Shi Xi! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!]

As soon as the news was released, book fans immediately began to reject it.

Shi Xi debuted with a sweet and charming image, while in the novel "The Legend of the Princess", the female lead is a princess who cares about the world.

In the hearts of book fans, Di Qingling should be a steady and dignified person with a touch of humility.

In any case, one-dimensional characters only exist in the fantasies of book fans.

[Shi Xi is absolutely not suitable for Di Qingling!!]

[Wouldn't it be better to just be a sweet, pretty girl? Can Shi Xi please stop playing leading roles?]

Honestly, if Shi Xi became an idol instead of acting, I would definitely like her. She's pretty, but her acting doesn't suit her; she's only suitable for playing pretty faces.

[Shi Xizhen, a resource expert, has an endless stream of resources; now they've even extended to "The Legend of the Imperial Princess."]

As soon as the scandal broke, various online commentators began to openly praise but subtly criticize it.

Some passersby also switched sides after seeing this rhetoric.

[Yes, yes, that's exactly it! I feel the same way. Why bother acting? Can't we just be pretty faces?]

The fans were speechless.

On the surface, these words sound like praise, but if you think about them more deeply, they are actually sarcastic and belittling, implying that Shi Xi is not suitable for acting.

Being pretty has no necessary connection to whether or not you act in movies or TV shows.

If there has to be a connection, then good-looking people should act in movies.

I hope we never see ugly characters in historical dramas.

[This is hilarious! Why can't Shi Xi act? So many ugly actors with terrible acting skills are still making movies, but Shi Xi can't??]

At least Shi Xi is pretty; she saved my eyes.

[Clicking on the profile picture, it's indeed a Liao Chujing fan. What's wrong? Did the hit drama "Nine Lives of Peace" break your hearts? Has your drama "Purple Mist Sky" surpassed 30 million views per episode yet?]

[Filming is about to begin! Shi Xi is about to seamlessly join a new production!]

[This woman is willing to give up 20 pounds of fat in exchange for Shi Xi living in Hengdian forever, please!]

[...]

More people started discussing it, and the discussion about Shi Xi's positioning intensified.

Most people think that Shi Xi is just a sweet girl.

Fans edited together a video featuring Shi Xi's character in "Nine Lives for Peace".

He has lived nine lives and has nine identities.

Each identity has a different personality.

The first character to appear, Tianming An, had a similar personality to the princess.

However, Tianming An was just an ordinary woman who knew neither martial arts nor magic.

Because the fan club prohibits online arguments and fights, fans have started learning video editing techniques.
