Some didn't even have a script; they simply said that as long as she agreed to sign the contract, they would directly find an editor to tailor-make the script for her.
Wen Yan would rather not participate in projects that cannot withstand scrutiny.
For example, at this very moment, Qin Yulong has once again rejected a batch of scripts similar to "The Legend of Chang'an" on behalf of Wen Yan.
"It's just the same old script with a different name. Don't they have any other storylines to write for this genre?"
Qin Yulong sighed softly and couldn't help but complain to Wen Yan in private:
“Actually, I think there are many things that can be conveyed through film and television works, whether in terms of theme or impact, but I don’t see this diversity at present. After a film becomes popular, there will be many copycat works, which have no innovation at all and do not make me want to say 'yes' at all.”
Hearing Qin Yulong say this, Wen Yan couldn't help but put down her phone and look at her.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so upset? You're not as calm as usual."
"Four scripts. I received four scripts today. Two were from outside and two were from our own company. They are all similar to 'The Legend of Chang'an'. Two of them even have similar main plots. It's giving me a headache."
"Oh, so that's why. 'The Legend of Chang'an' was a great show, wasn't it? It was prepared for release in such a short time and even managed to attract over 200 advertisers. Everyone's bound to be eager to try. It's the market's choice. Even if we rejected these scripts today, others would still make them. However..."
Wen Yan changed the subject, saying, "I'm also wondering, it seems we haven't received any other types of scripts so far, right? Before we took over Fu's Entertainment, apart from a few different types of projects when Gu Xiran became famous in the early days, it seems that Fu's has been chasing the market ever since, right?"
"That's right, they've been stagnant all along, otherwise they wouldn't have been taken down so easily. There was a comedy company that came in from outside before, but that team was terrible. You can basically avoid them just by looking at their team."
Wen Yan nodded: "It's still because I'm not good enough. Good scripts in other genres are usually reserved for the best actors in the corresponding fields. I might get the ones that are left over from other fields. But now it seems that even if they leave me out, they won't think of coming to me. I have a new idea now."
What are your thoughts?
Wen Yan picked up her phone again: "I came across a video a couple of days ago that I had saved before."
"What video?"
"Wait a moment, I'll find it and show it to you."
"Okay." Qin Yulong said, striding over to sit down next to Wen Yan.
Just then, Wen Yan also found the video she had mentioned earlier.
"Look, this is a comparison video edited by a netizen. It compares my performance in 'The Legend of Chang'an' with similar performances by other actors. The difference is obvious. I am really much worse than others."
"Netizens praised me as a talented player before, but that's not entirely true. However, for a while I was indeed immersed in the positive reviews from fans who were biased."
"Given my current reputation for being constantly embroiled in controversy, when people criticize me, they always bring up topics like creating a romantic pairing or other messy issues. It seems like they've all overlooked my primary job as an actor."
"I think I still need to hone my acting skills, don't you think?"
Qin Yulong had just watched the video carefully with Wen Yan, and now, hearing what Wen Yan said, she couldn't help but look at Wen Yan seriously again.
Wen Yan noticed that she smiled slightly at her, which seemed a little strange.
"What are you laughing at?"
Qin Yulong stopped smiling and silently shook her head.
Wen Yan glanced at her: "You think I'm a very self-aware person, right?"
Qin Yulong narrowed her eyes slightly: "If you put it that way, it seems you're not wrong. But I'm smiling because I'm pleased."
"Oh? What's there to be pleased about?" Wen Yan raised an eyebrow. "I'm all ready to receive your praise."
Qin Yulong chuckled again: "I'm glad I didn't misjudge you this time. It's strange."
"Strange? What's strange about it? Is it normal for you to misjudge people, and strange for you not to misjudge them?"
"No, that's not what I'm wondering about. You know about my last choice. At first, I really thought I could work well with her, but she changed her mind halfway through."
Wen Yan knew that Qin Yulong was talking about Fu Yiqing, and she smiled and took Qin Yulong's arm.
"You can rest assured about that. I will definitely not change unless something drastic happens."
"Yes, I believe you. I don't know why, but I just believe you. You know what? Since we started working together, many of your plans have been unexpected. If I were in your position, I would never have done them. But every time you come up with a plan, you always manage to convince me?"
“I’m so lucky,” Wen Yan said sincerely, “to have such a good sister and a great work partner like you. So you also agree that I should take further training in my acting skills, right?”
"Yes," Qin Yulong nodded, "Actually, your acting skills are indeed quite good, just like most netizens have praised, full of talent. So much so that I forgot that you don't have a formal acting background. If you have time, you could definitely study and hone your skills systematically. I'll have the company arrange it for you soon."
"Okay, but we don't have much free time. Although I haven't studied acting systematically, I'll skip the basics."
