The young girl in front of him was pretty and had good acting skills. She had been in the industry for several years and should have some fame by now. If Shao Dongming hadn't recommended her, he might have missed out.
As for the past, Lu Qingyan felt there was nothing wrong with mentioning it: "I was young and naive back then, and I was tricked into joining. The company was small, and the agent was unreliable. The contract I signed back then was a huge loss, and now I can't leave even if I want to."
Director Chu said, "Alright, as long as you do a good job, I'll help you terminate your contract after this film is finished. Royal Entertainment is going to sign a batch of new talents, and I have a good relationship with them, so I can add you to the team."
Lu Qingyan bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, Director Chu."
Actually, Lu Qingyan was planning to open her own studio after she earned some money, so she could be her own boss and have more freedom in her work. However, since Chu Yiyi had already said so, Lu Qingyan didn't refuse his offer.
After all, if I don't have the ability by then, going to Royal Entertainment is a good option.
Royal Entertainment is a big company and can't compare to the small place where Lu Qingyan is now. The conditions there are much better than here, by more than a hundred percent.
With the male and female leads in place, the production team of "The Palace" quickly began filming.
As its name suggests, the drama "The Palace" tells the story of a group of women fighting in the imperial harem, a story filled with blood, tears, conspiracies, and schemes.
The female protagonist, Xiao Wanyue, was originally a high-ranking official in the court. However, due to the framing of her political enemies, her father was imprisoned by the emperor, and not long after, his family property was confiscated, and he was beheaded.
Thanks to the Emperor's mercy, the women in the family were not punished. However, they were relegated to living like ordinary people, and the luxuries of life were no longer theirs. The family then moved to a faraway place and lived in seclusion, where no one knew they were the family of a disgraced official.
However, the female lead is a very ambitious person. She is unwilling to live an ordinary life and tries every means to climb up the social ladder.
At this time, the daughter of the local county magistrate was selected as a palace maid. Unwilling to waste her youth in the palace, she eloped with her sweetheart.
At this time, the outstandingly beautiful female protagonist caught the eye of the county magistrate, who wanted to dress her up and send her to the palace to replace his daughter.
Xiao Wanyue's family was unwilling, but Xiao Wanyue herself agreed. In addition, the two women shared the same name and had some resemblance in appearance, so the matter was eventually settled.
The county magistrate's daughter, posing as the female lead, sent the message to the person she liked. The female lead, posing as the county magistrate's daughter, entered the palace, where she lived a very successful life and soon had the opportunity to serve the emperor.
The female lead is indeed the female lead; she conceived on her first try. The emperor originally had no intention of giving her any official title, but things changed once she became pregnant.
After all, the emperor is not young, but his offspring are few. Now that there is finally a pregnant woman in the palace, he must take good care of her.
Thus, the female protagonist was bestowed the title of Beauty, and from then on, she stepped into the chaotic world of palace intrigue.
After many twists and turns, she eliminated all the enemies who stood in her way, and the heroine finally became the Empress Dowager who ruled from behind the curtain. The story ends here.
As for whether the female protagonist will eventually follow in the footsteps of Empress Wu Zetian and become empress, the ending of the story does not provide a clear answer.
