A series of notification sounds came from my phone. It turned out that midnight had arrived, and Ji Juntao had sent over the scripts right on time.

There are three scripts in total: two for television series and one for a film.

The film script is called "Heartbeat Prohibition Notice," a lighthearted romantic comedy. The TV series are a fantasy drama called "The Legend of Luoxia" and a modern romantic idol drama called "Moonlight Window."

Upon seeing the script's title, Shang Yechu raised an eyebrow.

Although Shang Yechu harbored doubts about Ji Juntao's character, she admired his keen eye for talent. Shang Yechu remembered all three films.

"Heartbeat Forbidden Notice" is a lighthearted, sweet film set in the entertainment industry, which grossed 500 million yuan at the box office on a low budget. While 500 million yuan may not seem like much, the film only cost 20 million yuan to make, making it a classic example of a low-budget, high-return success. This movie has become a staple on couples' date lists, receiving excellent reviews.

Shang Yechu remembered it so clearly because in her previous life, she had made a cameo appearance in this movie... herself.

Now, this script is going to invite Shang Yechu to play the female lead.

Let bygones be bygones.

"The Legend of Luo Xia" is a fantasy romance novel with a male protagonist. Shang Yechu plays a female supporting character who is deeply in love with the male lead.

Although the character design didn't sound very appealing, Shang Yechu quickly glanced at the script and knew what Ji Juntao was up to. The male protagonist of this film was a typical "don't underestimate a young man's potential" type of protagonist who grows up to be a powerful and ambitious figure—meaning he was unremarkable and incompetent in the early stages, only gradually rising to prominence later on.

Such a character needs a high-class supporting role to highlight his extraordinary status. The female supporting character chosen by Ji Juntao serves this purpose.

This character is covered in shimmering buffs, and her design is incredibly stylish. She's a cold, aloof witch, a ruthless and passionate demon, and an arrogant genius; one moment she's dressed in red, the next in purple; one moment she has slender, delicate hands, the next beautiful feet, and the next she possesses an exquisite face. With a wave of her hand, she can unleash countless magical treasures; with a kick, she can kill countless powerful figures.

Despite all this effort, these characters are essentially the male protagonist's lifeline, responsible for providing him with magical treasures, enhancing his image, engaging in romantic relationships, and highlighting his unwavering loyalty and aversion to women.

While such roles might sound like a pollen hell, that's not entirely true. These characters are often vividly portrayed and leave a lasting impression. If interpreted well, they can be incredibly popular.

Furthermore, female leads in male-centric dramas often have a weaker presence and a more underdeveloped character, leading to greater scrutiny. Supporting characters, on the other hand, tend to be more forgiving towards audiences.

The female supporting character can both hide under the wings of the male and female leads to avoid the storms of judgment, and shine brightly against the backdrop of the philandering male lead and the weak female lead.

Ji Juntao had a good plan.

"The Legend of Luo Xia" is a large-scale production, and it seems pretty good to get a standout supporting actress in a production of this caliber.

Shang Yechu shook her head and turned to the third script.

The third script, "Moonlight Window," is a typical modern romance idol drama.

From a layman's perspective, Shang Yechu has already acted in serious dramas like "Tianban," so acting in idol dramas would be tantamount to lowering her status. But that's not how it works.

No matter how much mainstream awards and aesthetics look down on idol dramas, it has to be admitted that idol dramas are the fastest way to create stars, and are undoubtedly the ladder to success for artists!

No exceptional acting skills are needed, no painstaking character study required; just a bit of good looks is enough to naturally immerse the audience in a romantic fantasy. The plot may be formulaic, but it will always captivate and move countless viewers.

Idol dramas are quick to film, quick to be approved, and quick to attract fans, making them a powerful tool for young artists to climb the ladder of success. Shang Yechu, who comes from a serious drama background, is naturally at a disadvantage in terms of popularity compared to other idol artists—the major defeat of Yeya in the battles against Tangfen and Climbing Tiger is a case in point.

Shang Yechu flipped through the three scripts, her fingers gently tracing the screen...
