However, this means that actors may not take their acting seriously and the quality of their performances may decline.
"No way." Shi Xi rejected the idea outright.
"Then we can only wait until Pei Kai finishes filming this drama, or we can change the male lead." Han Chuan reminded him, "Lou Rui Cong will also need to stay in bed for a month or two."
One problem after another came knocking at her door, and Shi Xi suddenly wanted to go back to the palace and continue living that kind of lazy, aimless life.
"Let's discuss this properly when I get to the company," Shi Xi said, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Your next announcement is in three days. If you haven't made a decision by then, I'll have to postpone it," Han Chuan reminded him again.
Shi Xi asked, "Is it that talk show type of variety show?"
"Yes, I personally don't recommend that you turn down this gig. It's a very well-known variety show, and turning it down would be a huge loss for you," Han Chuan analyzed solemnly.
Shi Xi sighed, "I understand, I'll think about it carefully."

Upon arriving at the company, Zhu Lin came to pick up Shi Xi and said, "People from Hongcao Film and Television have arrived. Brother Han is receiving them in the conference room and asked me to take you there."
Shi Xi paused slightly, then asked in confusion, "Red Grass Films?"
Zhu Lin nodded and continued, "The person who has come is Jiang Feng, the producer of Hongcao Films."
He has a fantasy drama about to start filming, I wonder if he came here at this time to ask you to act in it.
He'd only been here a short time; Brother Han was dealing with him.
"Go and see for yourself." Shi Xi walked into the conference room.
When Shi Xi arrived at the conference room, she saw a middle-aged man with a buzz cut sitting opposite Han Chuan, drinking tea with a sharp glint in his narrowed eyes.
However, he quickly hid himself and stood up with a smile.
“Miss Shi is even more beautiful than in the video!” Jiang Feng stood up and greeted her, “I am Jiang Feng, the producer of Hongcao Films.”
"Hello," Shi Xi said, finding a chair to sit down. "May I ask what brings Mr. Jiang to our Kuai Xue?"
"Here's the thing, we have a project that's about to start filming, and we'd like to invite Ms. Shi to play the lead role." As he spoke, Jiang Feng's assistant had already distributed the script to Shi Xi and Han Chuan. "It's an adaptation of the fantasy novel 'Nine Lifetimes of Peace,' and it's also one of Hongcao's key projects this year."
Shi Xi and Han Chuan exchanged a glance.
Zhu Lin said, "Nine Lifetimes of Peace is a very famous novel, and it is indeed a big IP."
Han Chuan opened the script, saw the estimated start date for filming, and his expression darkened. He said, "Shi Xi's movie 'Energetic Girl 2' is about to start filming, and your drama is also going to start filming? Are you trying to make Shi Xi film multiple projects at once?"
“We certainly won’t let Miss Shi film multiple projects at once,” Jiang Feng said with a slight smile. “I suggest that Miss Shi prioritize filming ‘Nine Lives for Peace’ and then film ‘Energetic Girl 2’ after ‘Nine Lives for Peace’ is completed.”
"No way," Shi Xi said, refusing outright.
“Miss Shi, don’t refuse so quickly!” Jiang Feng smiled with narrowed eyes. “You can take a look at the male lead role in ‘Nine Lifetimes of Peace’ first.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi opened the script.
Shi Xi was surprised to see Pei Kai's name on the male lead's resume.
"Pei Kai?"
Jiang Feng said, "Pei Kai is an artist under our Red Grass Film and Television, so naturally he will be given priority in our internal film and television productions."
I know that Pei Kai will be collaborating with Ms. Shi again on "Energetic Girl 2", but this fantasy drama is also a project that we have been planning for a long time.
We kindly request that Ms. Shi give priority to filming our "Nine Generations of Peace"!
