The interview was held at a five-star hotel in the city, and the production crew, with their deep pockets, booked an entire floor.
When I arrived, there were already quite a few people waiting outside.
A small gasp was heard when Jiang Si arrived.
Xiao Yicheng handed Jiang Si a number and told her, "The interview will start at 2 p.m. There are nearly 30 people competing for this role. You are number 20. You can familiarize yourself with the role and calm down first."
But seeing Jiang Si's calm expression, she said, "Okay, let me calm down."
Xiao Yicheng: "..."
I didn't see the word "nervous" on your face.
"The interviews later will not only include Director Zheng and Guan Qingchen," he paused and said, "but also the female lead, Xiang Zhiyi."
Guan Qingchen is both an investor and has the most scenes with the third female lead.
The Li family behind Xiang Zhiyi invested in this drama, and Xiang Zhiyi's acting skills were indeed excellent, and her image was also suitable, which allowed her to beat out a bunch of actresses and young stars to win the lead role.
Xiang Zhiyi is arguably the most popular A-list actress recently, having just been officially announced as the spokesperson for a top luxury brand, and her fans are incredibly aggressive.
Netizens have short memories, and the other party's capital has put a lot of effort into marketing, so Xiang Zhiyi's embarrassment on the variety show was quickly whitewashed or forgotten.
Those incredibly embarrassing photos and videos have already been mostly deleted.
Anyone with eyes can see the complicated relationship between Jiang Si and Xiang Zhiyi.
Xiao Yicheng hesitated, then whispered a reminder: "It's best to avoid it and not have a direct confrontation."
If she dislikes someone, it's just a matter of a word. Thinking of this, Xiao Yicheng lost hope again.
Master Jiang is just Master Jiang, not Actress Jiang.
Jiang Si smiled enigmatically: "Don't worry, she won't have time to make things difficult for me later."
She really liked a quote she saw online: "The gifts that fate bestows always have a price tag attached."
The repayment that belongs to Xiang Zhiyi is only now slowly beginning.
Qi Yan later asked her: "You could have made Xiang Zhiyi repay the debt in one go, why did you do it step by step?"
Jiang Si gave him a look that said, "You're still too young," and asked in return:
Why do you think ancient emperors invented the punishment of being torn to pieces when they already had a quick and easy way to behead their children?
Falling from grace isn't the worst thing; what's truly terrifying is knowing you're falling but being powerless to stop it and forced to watch helplessly.
Doesn't it feel like being torn to pieces, where you won't die until the very last cut?
Qi Yan shut up immediately. Humans are indeed much crazier than rats.
Waaah, women are so scary.
Of all people, don't offend Master Jiang.
As they were talking, a commotion broke out at the end of the corridor.
They looked up and saw Director Zheng and Guan Qingchen walking in front, followed by Xiang Zhiyi and some other crew members.
Guan Qingchen truly lives up to his reputation as a movie star with over 100 million fans. He is quite tall, with deep-set eyes that carry a hint of melancholy, and his features are three-dimensional, distinct, and exquisite.
Jiang Si asked Han Yunluo in a low voice, "Did he look like this back then?"
With such a monstrous appearance, she certainly has the looks to make people remember her for hundreds of years.
From the moment Guan Qingchen appeared, Han Yunluo's gaze never left him, staring intently ahead.
He didn't even hear what Jiang Si said.
Jiang Si shook her head inwardly; beauty is a curse.
But Han Yunluo's reaction was nothing special; good-looking people always attract attention.
The people in the front row were quite close, and Guan Qingchen stood up before she even got close, nodding modestly to greet them: "Director Zheng, Teacher Guan."
Zheng Guan and Guan Qingchen nodded in greeting, and Zheng Guan added politely, "Everyone, do your best and don't be nervous."
The interview room was in the middle of the floor, while Jiang Si and the others were at the other end, quite far away, so they didn't go over.
When Guan Qingchen entered, she glanced at their place casually.
He suddenly stopped.
Zheng Guan looked at him strangely. Guan Qingchen was usually a person who was unmoved by anything. What was wrong with him today?
He looked around as well, and well, they were all beautiful women; nothing else seemed strange.
Has Guan Qingchen seen few beauties?
What are you looking at?
"No," Guan Qingchen regained his composure and went into the room. "It's nothing."
He inexplicably recalled that fleeting glimpse from earlier—was that also someone there for an interview?
However, that kind of appearance doesn't seem to suit the third female lead; on the contrary, it's more suitable for the first female lead—gentle yet firm, and full of compassion.
Realizing her own thoughts, Guan Qingchen felt as if she had some serious illness, wondering how she could have such an outrageous idea.
He shook his head slightly, as if trying to banish the thoughts from his mind.
There were five people conducting the interview.
In the middle is Director Zheng Guan, to his left and right are the producer and Guan Qingchen respectively, and on the sides are the screenwriter and Xiang Zhiyi.
Everyone has the right to express their opinion, but the most important thing is to look to Director Zheng.
If Director Zheng doesn't like something, no amount of pleading on his behalf will change his mind.
The interviews began, and Jiang Si watched as each person went in confidently and came out dejected.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems the requirements are quite strict.
Han Yunluo was worried that Jiang Si would get stage fright, so she encouraged her: "Don't worry, you can definitely do it."
"Oh my, that's not easy," Jiang Si said exaggeratedly, "You finally spared me a glance. I thought your soul had gone in with you."
Upon hearing this, Han Yunluo's usually pale face showed a rare hint of shyness.
"Don't talk nonsense." That's what she said, but her eyes were still greedily fixed on the door.
She hadn't seen him for centuries.
Jiang Si said, "I'm going to the restroom."
