Chu Yuan refused all offers and seemed to disappear from the entertainment industry.
What followed was the attention that the entertainment industry paid to Shi Xi.
When Shi Xi opened Weibo, she saw tens of thousands of messages, all tagging her and asking about her relationship with Chu Yuan.
Shi Xi: ...She only found out from Chu Yuan's Weibo that Chu Yuan actually had a crush on her!
Han Chuan said, "Sky Blue magazine has sent an interview invitation and wants you to come for an interview."
Shi Xi remembered the drama and frowned slightly. "Wasn't Nan Wan already cast for 'Sky Blue'?"
Why did they send her an interview invitation?
"The director of 'Sky Blue' said there was no pre-arranged decision. The reason for inviting you this time is to clear up the previous rumors." Han Chuan could roughly understand the director's thoughts.
Nothing would convince netizens that the female lead for "Sky Blue" wasn't predetermined, rather than having Shi Xi audition again.
"Whether it's pre-selected or not, what does it have to do with me?" Shi Xi felt annoyed just thinking about Nan Wan and said, "I'm not going. Who the female lead is is none of my business."
Han Chuan: "Sky Blue is an S+ production that CCTV specifically requested. You really don't want to go for an interview?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. This drama is produced by relatives in Nanwan. If I go, I'll be digging my own grave." Shi Xi remembered something and asked, "What has Lou Rui Cong been busy with lately?"
"He's joined the cast." Han Chuan's lips twitched slightly as he said, "He's playing a supporting role in a serious war drama."
"A serious drama, huh?" Shi Xi couldn't imagine Lou Rui Cong acting in a serious drama.
Han Chuan: "Don't worry about him for now, just arrange your schedule."
It's rare that I don't have to worry about Lou Lou, but I have to worry about Shi Xi.
Shi Xi pondered, "Didn't someone ask me for a script for a historical romance novel before?"
Han Chuan sat opposite Shi Xi and said seriously, "President Shi contacted me before."
"Huh? My brother wants to see you? What's up?" Shi Xi asked, confused.
"Mr. Shi said that if your movie doesn't gross 500 million yuan, he'll retire from the entertainment industry." Han Chuan asked, "Do you remember that?"
Shi Xi's expression immediately turned sour.
Of course she remembers!
Shi Xi vividly remembers the time she was tricked by Shi Xu and Shi Chen working together.
"The movie still hasn't been released, has it?" Shi Xi said with a dark expression. "What? My brother won't let me take on any scripts anymore?"
"The movie won't be out for long, so if you take this script, it'll probably be your last one," Han Chuan reminded you.
Shi Xi couldn't help but ask, "Do you think the movie won't break 500 million at the box office?"
Han Chuan changed the subject, saying, "Let's talk about your requirements for historical romance dramas. Two A-level productions, one a sweet romance with a quirky female lead, and the other a female lead with a calm and wise personality."
Shi Xi: "You just don't believe me!"
Han Chuan continued to change the subject, "I think the quirky one is good, it suits you very well."
Shi Xi insisted on going against Han Chuan, declaring, "I want a female lead role!"
Han Chuan gave both scripts to Shi Xi, saying, "Take a look at both scripts first. Go on a variety show this week, and give me your answer after you've thought it through."
Shi Xi took the script and asked, "What kind of variety show is it? It's not some survival show again, is it?"
Han Chuan: "No, it's the variety show you were on before, they're contacting you again."
Shi Xi glanced at the schedule.
It turns out to be "Dragon Martial Arts Academy," an unrelated reality show I appeared on before.
Each episode invites a celebrity guest to learn Dragon Form Boxing. Shi Xi was invited once before, and she was invited again this time.
The thought that this program could promote ancient martial arts culture in a modern world where ancient martial arts are declining made Shi Xi immediately agree.
