“I thought that as long as I didn’t fight with you or snatch from you, we would never become enemies like the Lan sisters…” The woman in the plain dress knelt on the ground with her hair disheveled, raising her head slightly with disbelief on her face.
The person standing before her was dressed in magnificent palace attire, a disdainful smile playing on their lips. They casually adjusted a golden hairpin adorning their head: "Sister, you still don't understand. Your mistake has never been about whether you fight for something or not." They paused for a moment: "Your mistake lies in your face!"
The plot abruptly ended there. Jiang Xiaoxiao reflected on the episode's events. The main storyline was progressing smoothly, and the ending of the episode was a perfect opportunity to introduce a bombshell: with Song Wei dead, the secret of her appearance would soon unravel a series of palace secrets.
"Ahhh, I can't wait! But I feel so sorry for my fairy sister, she's going to die." While muttering to herself, Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't waste any time. The official account of the drama was holding a "favorite character" voting event, and for her fairy sister, she was going to stay up all night to make a personal video and garner votes!
"Beep beep".
Ye Chu picked up her phone from the bedside table. It was a video link sent by her agent. When she clicked on it, she found it was a fairly well-produced personal edited video of herself.
Agent DaDaDa: ChuChu, please search for 'XiaoXiao Gets Up Early' on Weibo and retweet and like this video.
New here for the first time: Hello~
After watching the video, Ye Chu opened Weibo and found the person named Xiaoxiao who gets up early. The video was on her pinned Weibo post.
Ye Chu V: Great video, and thank you for liking it! [link]
As soon as the Weibo post was published, fans quickly came to support and watch.
I don't eat fish: Waaaaah, this editing is divine, I love Chu's beauty filter.
I haven't done my homework yet today: I'll never get tired of seeing Chu's face! I also rave about the editing; the scene where Chu shed tears with the background music was so heartbreaking.
Hamster Spirit: Today is another day to love my Chu! Remember to vote for me, my darlings! One vote from you, one vote from me, and my Chu will debut tomorrow! [Link]
You come here and take your beating: I've surrendered! Go Chu! I'll always support you!
The number of comments was still rising, and the comment section was filled with joy. Ye Chu liked a few comments that she found quite cute, turned off her phone, and sighed as she looked at the TV.
Although she can't compare to those top-tier stars now, she has at least carved out her own niche in the cutthroat entertainment industry. Keep working hard, and one day she will shine on stage just like those big stars!
"Beep beep".
Big Big Agent: Remember to check your email.
Ye Chu was stunned when she saw the message from her agent. She thought she wouldn't have anything to do for a while, since her schedule was always unpredictable.
I opened the email from my agent; there were six attachments, each a rough script for one of six films. It seemed my agent wanted me to choose two to audition for.
"Hmm."
In a youthful campus story, a cheerful and lively school heartthrob rescues a bullied girl, helps her transform, and they eventually live happily ever after.
A domineering CEO and a young white-collar worker resolutely refuse to be kept by a sugar daddy, but unexpectedly, they are entangled by a big bad wolf. After going through many hardships, the lovers finally get together.
A modern urban woman unexpectedly travels back to the ancient kingdom of Loulan. Using her intelligence and wit, she thrives in the ancient kingdom, helps the prince of Loulan uncover palace conspiracies, and eventually becomes the queen of Loulan.
Ye Chu first ruled out these three scripts. These types of dramas are the most common online hits. Although they can become popular, it's only temporary. Once the main series ends, the popularity will quickly drop, which is not what she wants.
"Escape?" Ye Chu was a little stunned. She didn't have many works, but most of them were period drama roles. So both she and her agent were looking for an opportunity to help her get rid of the image of a period drama beauty.
It's not that this impression is bad, but if she appears on the big screen in this image for a long time, she will inevitably be typecast, which is definitely not beneficial to her future development.
Scrolling down, you see big-name directors, big productions, and award-winning actors. "Gulp." Swallowing hard, Ye Chu hesitated. It was impossible not to be tempted. Just the names on the list were enough to prove that this movie would be a huge hit and remain so for a long time. After all, the return of a top actor who had taken a break from filming was already a guaranteed hit on the trending topics list.
"Are you kidding me? I can choose this script?" With a hint of doubt, Ye Chu began to examine the script. She looked at it carefully and soon became immersed in the plot.
The story begins with a call for volunteers, which was printed in countless copies and distributed to universities across the country to recruit students to participate.
"Escape game..." Ye Chu's eyes lit up. As far as she knew, most escape game shows were from abroad, and there had been no precedents in China so far.
Ye Chu quickly picked up her phone and dialed her agent's number. The call was answered quickly: "Chu Chu? What's wrong? Have you chosen a script yet?"
"Sister Ji, can I really choose the escape scenario?"
Chang Ji was stunned for a moment, and a series of Ye Chu's work content flashed through her mind before she vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a script in the script she sent to Ye Chu.
"You mean the Best Actor award? You know the situation in the industry... We don't have the resources to compete with him, but apart from the officially designated Best Actor lead, all other roles in this script are open for auditions. Director Lin Mu's casting process is always a rare example of fair competition in the industry... You know, you need an opportunity to wash away the public's preconceived notions about you."
"Sister Ji, this is the one." Ye Chu said firmly, "I want to seize this opportunity."
“I’m happy that you’re confident, but besides this script, I suggest you choose another one, since the outcome is unknown and it’s better to be on the safe side.”
"Okay, I'll send it to you after I've made my selection. Could you please print out a physical copy of the script?" After hanging up the phone, Ye Chu quickly picked out another urban drama with a reasonably decent plot from the remaining scripts.
Half an hour later, Changji delivered the two printed scripts.
"Have you had lunch?" Changji came out of the kitchen, and the messy kitchen conveyed an important message to her: her own artist had personally "poisoned" her today.
"Uh, actually it didn't taste very good, so I didn't eat it." Ye Chu was a little embarrassed. In fact, if Chang Ji just glanced at the kitchen trash can, she would have noticed that it was half full of failed attempts.
Changji took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly to Ye Chu, "Don't go into the kitchen without my permission, understand?"
"I swear there won't be a next time!"
"I'll go cook you some noodles and tidy up the kitchen while I'm at it. You go ahead..."
"Study the script!" Ye Chu eagerly answered, holding up her two scripts with both hands. "I promise I won't cause any trouble!"
