As for the male drama, it was Sister Li's favorite script.
She liked it, but to be honest, although the male lead had a good plot, the female lead had too few scenes. At most, she was just a small red flower among the green leaves.
After reading the entire script, Jiujiu's scenes were not as many as the third male lead's. She was really playing the fourth male lead with the first female lead's script.
Most importantly, the female lead died ten episodes before the ending. It could be said that she was the female lead with the weakest presence.
Sister Li hoped that Jiujiu could play the female lead. As long as Jiujiu appeared, everyone would make way for Jiujiu. She did not want Jiujiu to be a small red flower against the green leaves.
Moreover, with Jiujiu's current status, it was a pity for her to take on such a role.
However, although Sister Li had a preliminary conclusion about the three scripts in her heart, Jiujiu was still the one acting. So, Jiujiu had the final say on which script to choose in the end.
Sister Li waited for Jiujiu to roughly read through the scripts.
Jiujiu was the first to reject the anti-Japanese drama. Like Sister Li, she rejected the anti-Japanese drama. There were too many anti-Japanese dramas these days. Even if she was the one who acted in them, the audience would still get tired of them. Even if at the beginning, the fans could still continue watching because they liked her. However, after a long time, similar plots would lead to similar trends. Other than true fans, not many people could continue watching.
Moreover, she had just become popular. Her first drama must have high ratings.
In the remaining two scripts, Jiujiu picked and chose the male drama.
Seeing that Jiujiu chose the male drama, Sister Li quickly went up to Jiujiu and asked, "Jiujiu, do you want to take on this drama?"
Jiujiu nodded.
Although Sister Li said that she respected Jiujiu's choice, when she saw that Jiujiu chose the male drama, she was still a little unhappy.
Jiujiu was so famous now. It was a pity that she did not take on the role of the female lead and went to play the role of the fourth male lead in a male drama.
Sister Li did not give up. She picked up the script of the xianxia drama and handed it to Jiujiu. "Why don't you take a look at this script? I think it's good. If it's good, the ratings will definitely be high."
Jiujiu pushed the script away. She shook her head and said, "Sister Li, I admit that the script is very good. But, haven't you noticed that the moral values of this drama is a little wrong?"
The love story between Lin Mengya and her sister-in-law was really a little unflattering.
Although the script kept praising that it was all for love, in Jiujiu's opinion, this kind of love was not worth it.
Moreover, in her memory, when the drama first aired, it was indeed very popular. But, as the plot went on, many people were disgusted by the love story between the female lead and the male lead. When the female lead and the male lead got together as the brother-in-law and sister-in-law, it disgusted a lot of people.
Then, because the investors kept adding scenes for the second male lead, it drove away a lot of fans who supported the original novel.
The drama started high and ended low. In the end, although the ratings were not terrible, they were not optimistic either.
In the beginning, the ratings for this male drama were not high because of the complicated characters and background.
But, as the plot went on, the ratings skyrocketed. By the end of the drama, the ratings had reached a shocking number. It became the dark horse of the year.
If she remembered correctly, He Xiangyun played the third female lead in this drama.
He Xiangyun used this role to attract a lot of fans.
As for the female lead, she had a lot of scenes with the third female lead. What she needed to do was to suppress He Xiangyun's scenes so that her performance wouldn't be as outstanding and she would continue to be mediocre.
When she was reading the script, Sister Li had also noticed this point. However, she thought that the current audience only cared about the love between the two main characters and would not pay too much attention to this. But now that Jiujiu had pointed it out so bluntly, Sister Li inexplicably felt that this script was not very appropriate.
Jiujiu looked at Sister Li, who was deep in thought, and said softly, "I know this script is good, but the female lead is too simple. There are too many silly and sweet movies in the market now. Sister Li, have you forgotten why I took on Li Zhihe's movie? It was to change my style. I worked so hard to change my image in the audience's hearts. Now that this drama is out, won't I be back to square one?"
Sister Li thought about it in her heart and felt that it made sense. So be it if Jiujiu acted in men's movies. Anyway, Jiujiu was a big star, so it was the same no matter where she went.
After Jiujiu confirmed that she would take on men's movies, Sister Li went to work on the contract.
But what surprised Sister Li was that Jiujiu did not have any requirements. The director of a men's movie had a lot of requirements.
Not only did he want the lead to stay on set the whole day during filming, but he also directly said that he would do the recording live and there would be no lighting.
Not to mention other things, just the requirement of staying on set the whole day was a little too much.
It would be fine if other actors had such requirements, but Jiujiu was such a big star, so she would definitely have a lot of things to do. Asking Jiujiu to stay on set the whole day was really a fool's dream.
Moreover, which actress nowadays did not rely on lighting to survive? Once she thought about how there would be no lighting, it would be a disaster.
As for the recording live, Sister Li was the least worried. After all, Jiujiu's acting skills were good and she had the ability to do so.
Just as Sister Li was arguing with the director about how there would be no lighting and how she had to stay on set all the time, Jiujiu received a call from Li Zhihe.
Hearing that Li Zhihe wanted her to go back and do some reshoots, Jiujiu looked at her recent schedule and quickly agreed.
Hearing that Jiujiu agreed without hesitation to come back and do some reshoots, Li Zhihe was a little surprised.
After all, Jiujiu had already finished filming. Logically speaking, their contract had already ended. He had only called to test the waters. It would be best if Jiujiu agreed. Even if she did not agree, he could think of a way to make up for it.
But now, it seemed that he had made the right call.
Sister Li did not understand why Jiujiu wanted to go to Li Zhihe's place to do some reshoots.
In his words, it was better for her to attend a few more events if she had the time.
After all, even if outsiders praised Li Zhihe and said that as long as it was Li Zhihe's film, it would definitely win an award. However, Li Zhihe's previous film had already won an award. Who could guarantee that his film would also win an award?
This kind of illusory thing was not as practical as real money.
However, seeing that Jiujiu was so serious, Sister Li did not say much. She could only help Jiujiu book a plane ticket and remind the man of the filming time. After sending Jiujiu off, she continued with her work.
