Oh my god.
Jiang He is indeed more handsome than the male lead.
Those comments in the live chat were absolutely right.
Qi Shu was completely dazed.
Despite the rudimentary shooting conditions and simple techniques, Jiang He displayed an astonishing expressiveness and appeal in the advertisement.
If you were to cut out that scene where the sunlight shines obliquely on his profile, who would believe it's a yogurt commercial? People would believe it's a promotional video for an idol drama male lead.
Her aura, her facial features, and her figure shine brightly in front of the camera.
It feels like an idol drama has come to life.
Without a second thought, Qi Shu immediately made a decision: he wanted to cast Jiang He in a movie!
With that kind of looks and camera presence, it would be such a waste if she didn't act!
Qi Shu originally wanted Jiang He to play the male lead.
With that kind of looks, isn't he the male lead?
But in the end, after being persuaded by the assistant director and learning about Jiang He's special circumstances—that she had never systematically studied acting—she was persuaded to give a performance.
My only on-screen experience is from shooting commercials twice.
Not to mention, he had already reached an agreement with the male lead of the previous drama, and he will still play the male lead in this new drama.
Even though a contract hasn't been signed yet, it would be really bad to break it prematurely.
The artists will have opinions about them.
If this gets out of hand, it will affect their production team and ruin the reputation of their new show.
Moreover, Jiang He has never acted before. It would be very risky to put a complete newcomer in the lead role.
Investors certainly wouldn't agree to that.
Considering all these reasons, Qi Shu had to change his mind and decide to let Jiang He play the second male lead.
No one objected to this result.
After all, Jiang He now has both popularity and good looks, and is incredibly popular online.
The second male lead doesn't have many scenes, so it doesn't matter if his acting isn't great, as long as Jiang He isn't completely expressionless, and is handsome, charismatic, and photogenic.
Fang Linping is considered a veteran in the industry.
Qi Shu quickly got his contact information from a friend and called him.
Jiang He had told Fang Linping long before they started working together that she planned to act and enter the entertainment industry if she had the opportunity in the future.
Therefore, after receiving Qi Shu's call, Fang Linping did not refuse, but first looked at the script and Jiang He's role.
This is a heartwarming and sweet romance drama set on a university campus. It tells the story of a male and female protagonist who each have their own "white moonlight" in their hearts. They go from disliking each other to redeeming each other, developing feelings for one another, and finally healing each other from the shadows.
Jiang He's character is the female lead's unrequited love who died young.
The character design is a big plus; he's a devoted second male lead with few flaws.
If she performs well, she can be very popular and it will also enhance Jiang He's image.
Moreover, the second male lead doesn't have many scenes; he mainly appears in the first two episodes during the female lead's university years.
Then he died of illness and finally lived on in the female protagonist's memories.
The subsequent plot mostly consists of his and the female lead's memories.
Fang Linping felt that this role was very suitable for Jiang He as her screen debut.
So he immediately took the script to Jiang He. Although he was Jiang He's agent, he mainly followed Jiang He's wishes when it came to her work.
He respects Jiang He's decision and will never act on his own initiative.
Jiang He learned that Director Qi Shu's involvement in the film was actually due to that yogurt commercial, which led to her being asked to star in the movie by accident.
It's truly amazing how coincidences can happen.
He also became interested and asked,
"Where's the script? Let me see it."
Jiang He took the script from Fang Linping and quickly glanced at it.
In the script, the second male lead is named Yu Ran, a classic example of a handsome, strong, tragic, and deeply affectionate second male lead.
Unlike the female protagonist who has a happy family, Yu Ran has a broken family.
With an alcoholic father, a runaway mother, a sick grandmother, and a baby sister, Yu Ran has shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her family since she was a child.
He is a mathematical genius with an exceptional sensitivity to numbers.
When I was a child, I supplemented my family's income by collecting scraps from the streets and alleys.
After starting school, his academic performance was outstanding, and he not only received a tuition waiver but also a scholarship every semester.
But perhaps the world of geniuses is different from that of ordinary people. Therefore, Yu Ran has an indifferent personality and has never had a friend since childhood. He always keeps to himself.
The female lead transferred to his class during her senior year of high school.
She became his deskmate.
Their story is like a little sun, where the female protagonist meets a handsome, aloof academic genius and tirelessly tries to get closer to him.
Finally, it melted away the cold shell around him and entered his heart.
However, because they were in their final year of high school and the college entrance examination was just around the corner, in order not to delay the exam, the two tacitly refrained from making any advances.
They're in that stage of being more than friends but less than lovers.
The female lead brings him breakfast every day and cares about his life, while he keeps a close eye on her studies and seizes every opportunity to tutor her.
Finally, with his tutoring help, the academically challenged female protagonist successfully turned her life around and got into a top university.
They had originally agreed to be together after starting university.
As a result, in an accident, Yu Ran died in a car accident while trying to save the female lead, becoming the untouchable white moonlight in the female lead's heart.
As a result, the female protagonist developed depressive tendencies, transforming from a radiant, sunny person into a withdrawn and aloof girl.
It wasn't until she met the male protagonist in college that they healed each other and came together.
“This character is indeed well-developed, Brother Fang, I think you should take this role.”
Jiang He made the decision after reading the script.
Seeing that his opinion was in agreement with Jiang He's, Fang Linping nodded happily.
"Okay, I'll contact Director Qi Shu right away and see when we can meet to discuss things in detail. If there are no problems, then I'll take the role!"
After saying that, he called Qi Shu back.
After agreeing on a meeting time for the day after tomorrow.
Fang Linping then began to look through Jiang He's recent schedule. If she was going to be filming, then some of her schedules would need to be changed.
Which tasks cannot be postponed, which can be postponed, priorities, and the size of tasks—all these arrangements need to be considered.
Jiang He looked at how well he had arranged everything and sighed with admiration.
Sure enough, finding Fang Linping as an agent was a worthwhile investment.
I can't even imagine how busy I would be if I had to arrange all these things myself without an agent.
Before I knew it, the day I was supposed to meet Qi Shu arrived.
Jiang He arrived at the appointment early, accompanied by Fang Linping and his assistant, Xiao Zhou.
