As Shi Xi was lost in thought, her phone vibrated, and she received a reply from Xie Yunzhou.
Xie Yunzhou: [Okay.]
A brief one-word reply, nothing more.
Shi Xi asked him, "Are you up? Remember to eat something, don't go hungry."
Xie Yunzhou hasn't replied again.
Shi Xi finally understood how Xie Yunzhou felt when he was busy filming.
Never mind, I'll just go find him later.
Shi Xi was thinking this when Zhu Lin gave her a last-minute job to shoot a magazine cover in Haicheng.
On the way, Zhu Lin was overjoyed, almost clapping and cheering.
Zhu Lin lowered her voice, "This is UNIQUE, a top-tier fashion magazine! They used to only invite award-winning actors and actresses to shoot their covers!"
Shi Xi, unfamiliar with fashion magazines, asked, "Is it very famous?"
Zhu Lin: "It's like the popularity of WeChat among chat software."
Shi Xi: "...QQ is still more famous."
Zhu Lin: You're so good at arguing.
"We originally invited Qin Yun, but she got a role in another production and didn't have time to film, so we recommended you instead." Zhu Lin chuckled, "We really got lucky!"
“Resources that others don’t want,” Shi Xi said wistfully.
“This is already top-tier resource in the fashion industry.” Zhu Lin looked at Shi Xi and added, “One of the best.”
Seeing that Shi Xi still looked lazy, Zhu Lin said, "Anyway, you have nothing to do, so just treat it as going to work."
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair, a notebook in front of her, clicking through the files in her email inbox one by one, and asked, "Any good scripts lately?"
Zhu Lin said, "The first people we contact for S-level projects are all famous actresses with high popularity."
The relationships between those projects are complex, and the scripts received may differ from the final scripts.
Shi Xi understood.
Having acted for so long, she's heard of production crews deceiving both sides.
Tell the male lead that he is the lead actor, and tell the female lead that she is the lead actress. Then the male and female leads film in two different production teams, A and B.
The things that happen off-screen are much more interesting than the script itself.
Shi Xi sometimes thinks that everyone says the plays are nonsense, but reality is even more magical.
When she clicked on an email, Shi Xi stopped. "This script is pretty good."
The scripts that Zhu Lin and Han Chuan have chosen will be presented to Shi Xi.
Ke Shixi can also view the script in electronic form via email.
Zhu Lin glanced at the script that Shi Xi had said was "not bad" and said, "This is a science fiction script. It's hard to find investment, it's hard to do special effects, the plot is short, and the audience is small. Han Ge and I both think it won't work."
There are actually quite a few science fiction dramas in China.
But there are more science fiction dramas from abroad, and they are more elaborate.
Domestic special effects outsourcing and fantastical storylines often leave audiences confused.
Shi Xi pulled at the script and said, "This only has 12 episodes in total?"
Seeing that Shi Xi was interested, Zhu Lin had no choice but to say, "Yes, where can you find a drama with 12 episodes these days? It has to be at least 24 episodes, right? 'Nine Lifetimes of Peace' already has dozens of episodes."
Speaking of "Nine Generations of Peace".
Shi Xi asked, "The original plot of 'Nine Lifetimes of Peace' was 24 episodes. Was the later part padded out and lengthened?"
"The B production team filmed a lot of scenes for supporting characters, stretching the original 24 episodes into 40." Zhu Lin said speechlessly, "Luckily, the director of the B production team was responsible, otherwise netizens would definitely criticize you for acting in a padded drama."
"Nine Lifetimes of Peace" is still airing and its early episodes are tightly plotted and have been trending on social media.
However, the later episodes, featuring too many supporting characters, were unacceptable to some viewers.
