Neither the production crew nor Chu Xiang responded. Chu Xiang only sent a bare-faced photo to her fans: [I'll be meeting everyone soon ~]
After recuperating for so long, Chu Xiang's looks were really good. Even in a bare-faced selfie, she was still beautiful. The fans returned to their home base to lick their screens, hammering Chu Xiang's looks.
There was really nothing to say about this. Only a few haters would lie through their teeth and couldn't understand Chu Xiang's beauty. Most people, including passersby, thought that maybe the role of Xuanruo had chosen Chu Xiang purely because she was beautiful enough?
Looking at it this way, Chu Xiang looked really good in the witch costume in the wrap photos. Her makeup was poles apart from the naive and sweet image in the past. The corners of her eyebrows and eyes were raised at just the right angle, making Chu Xiang's sweet face look sharp. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, her red dress embroidered with dark patterns, and the red flower between her eyebrows all exuded a sense of evil.
Just looking at the photos, she really looked like a witch! Some passersby who preferred to look at faces silently changed their minds.
[I'm convinced by Chu Xiang's face. If she wants to be the number one beauty in the demon world, I think Chu Xiang can do it.]
[Actually, Chu Xiang's role is only the third female lead. She doesn't necessarily have that many scenes. This drama has always been an excellent production. The director definitely won't destroy the Great Wall. Don't worry, everyone.]
[Maybe the director saw that Chu Xiang's acting wasn't good and reduced the villain's scenes. Her later addition definitely won't affect the whole drama. Don't think too much. Just wait and watch the drama.]
Of course, there were also book fans and haters who said: [I won't watch it with Chu Xiang in it. Whoever watches it is a coward.]
However, the production crew wouldn't be threatened. Director Li was well aware of Chu Xiang's acting skills, so the production crew wasn't anxious at all. They were as steady as Mount Tai and didn't say a word. On the other hand, the scriptwriter posted on Weibo to appease the book fans. He definitely wouldn't let them down.
However, book fans might not necessarily be fans of the author. Sometimes, they might even feel that the author did not care about his book for the sake of money. Thus, this matter caused quite a stir for two days.
However, the Xiang Dynasty fans had already returned to their base camp and no longer appeared. The book fans' comments and the haters' brainless attacks made them seem a little aggressive. This matter was left unsettled just like that, and Chu Xiang even gained a bunch of fans for her looks.
After Chu Xiang rested for two days, Uncle Dong called her to the company for a meeting to discuss her future work. The acting teacher had been asked by Uncle Dong to go to the set to watch Chu Xiang act. When he came back, he was full of praise for Chu Xiang. But he still thought that Chu Xiang had performed exceptionally well this time. She had improved every time in class, but not to this extent.
Then the next script would have to be carefully considered. With a good start, every work in the future would have to play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. Only then would it be able to develop in a better direction.
The music teacher and dance teacher felt that Chu Xiang should strengthen her singing and dancing. Thus, they did not consider releasing albums or singing and dancing announcements for the time being.
The only thing that they did not need to continue monitoring was Chu Xiang's body. Her body had been getting better over the past month. Her figure and skin had reached the standard of excellence. They did not need Chu Xiang to come to the company for training anymore.
The operations department and the public relations department's supervisor gave some suggestions. Then, Uncle Dong took out three scripts, five variety shows, and two advertisements for everyone to discuss.
One of the scripts was a police and gangster film. The film crew had taken a fancy to Chu Xiang's skills in the variety show and invited her to play the role of a policewoman. This was a web drama. The production budget was limited. The actors' acting skills were also ordinary. Only the male lead and the villain boss were good actors.
Although the policewoman was the female lead, the focus was on the male lead and the villain boss. The female lead's scenes could only be filmed in the third place. She did not even have half of the role of the villain boss.
This was because they had taken a fancy to Chu Xiang's popularity. With such a role, as long as Chu Xiang had the looks and skills, it would not be too bad. She could definitely pass.
The acting teacher said, "The role of a policewoman … If Chu Xiang wants to play it, she must first go to the police station to observe or use other methods to understand the characteristics of a policewoman. I feel that her skills and lines are fine. Why? It just gives people a sense of injustice. "
The acting teacher smiled. "Chu Xiang's performance on the set was really amazing. She seems more suitable to play the villain."
Chu Xiang said, "I can overcome this. I will pay attention to this aspect of my performance in the future."
Uncle Dong nodded. "The reason why this drama was brought over is because the male lead's acting skills are off the charts. You also know him. It's Liao Ze, who you did a mission with during your first live broadcast. He alone can carry an entire web drama. With the addition of the villain, this drama is even more stable. I feel that it will be a hit. However, the others do not have much of a presence. If you want to play it, you must act especially well. Otherwise, you will definitely be overshadowed. In short, this is an opportunity, but also a little risky. Let's look at the other two dramas. "
The second drama was about women in the workplace. The female lead married into a rich family and became a full-time housewife. Her husband was cold and not good at expressing himself. He was also busy with company affairs and rarely paid attention to the female lead's feelings. The female lead's mother-in-law made things difficult for her all the time. On her husband's side, the second female lead caused a lot of misunderstandings.
The female lead couldn't take it anymore and asked for a divorce. Then, she studied and worked hard in the workplace. As her position got higher and higher, she became more confident and powerful. Her ex-husband had always loved her. He slowly learned how to express his feelings and how to deal with family matters. He seriously pursued her once again and the two of them were reunited.
After listening to the introduction, Chu Xiang shook her head without waiting for others to speak. "I'm not taking this drama. The first half is too similar to my real life. If the second half is connected to my real life by the audience, it will be very uncomfortable. Also, I don't think there's anything to change with the male lead's personality. The second male lead is obviously better. "
Everyone looked at each other. The head of the public relations department said, "I think Chu Xiang might prefer a role that is quick to repay kindness and revenge. Actually, I also think this is more suitable because Chu Xiang's image after her comeback is self-confident and self-reliant. It's easier to solidify her fans if she plays a more straightforward role. She can try out other roles later. It's a good opportunity to hone her acting skills. "
Uncle Dong nodded and passed on this script.
The third script was a palace drama. It was a big IP and excellent production. The female lead was a big drama. The whole drama was about the intrigue between the women in the harem. Chu Xiang was the third female lead in the drama. She was a brainless and merciless imperial concubine who loved the emperor deeply.
The director of this drama knew Director Li. He heard from Director Li that Chu Xiang's ruthlessness as Xuan Ruo scared the other actors in the drama. That was why he found Chu Xiang. This character was actually naive and sweet. It was similar to how Chu Xiang acted before, so it shouldn't be a problem. She just needed to control her expression and eyes and say a few vicious lines. If her acting skills were bad, she could just NG a few more times. At least her face would definitely fit the role.
Uncle Dong said, "Chu Xiang's acting skills don't have a good reputation. We can't find many opportunities to act. Although we know that Chu Xiang's acting is good, no one else knows. Most of the roles that Chu Xiang acts in have a purpose. I think that if we directly let Chu Xiang play the female lead, it'll be easy for the audience to dislike it before it's broadcast. If it's a second or third female lead, everyone won't be so against it. When the drama is broadcast, it'll prove Chu Xiang's ability. Naturally, there will be better opportunities waiting for us. This way, it'll be more stable. What do you think? "
The operations manager nodded and said, "Actually, there are two other dramas that we've contacted, but they're all idol dramas. I think we should avoid this genre for now. We don't want the audience's impression of Chu Xiang to be fixed in a naive and sweet idol drama."
Chu Xiang looked at the filming time and number of scenes. She said, "I want to take the role of a policewoman and the role of an imperial concubine. Can we discuss with them about filming on both sides?"
Uncle Dong muttered, "These two dramas don't treat you as an important character. You don't have many scenes, so they don't necessarily care about this. But I still plan to let you act in a variety show. It'll be too tiring for you to film on both sides. "
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's tiring. I just feel that I have too few works now. Every time I see my fans' comments, they still want to see my works. I have a feeling that I'm too relaxed now. This web drama only has 16 episodes, and it's the male lead's drama. I don't have many parts. As for the palace drama, I'm confident that I can grasp the role of an imperial concubine well. The filming will go smoothly. So I hope to film on both sides and let the fans see more works as soon as possible. Of course, if it's not suitable, then forget it and accept the palace drama. "
Uncle Dong waved his hand. "It's fine. I'm familiar with the directors on both sides. As long as it doesn't delay the filming, it won't be a problem. Everyone, let's watch the variety show. "
There was a variety show about love between amateurs. Chu Xiang would be an observer in the studio to observe amateurs in love. Then, she would express her views on love and marriage. Chu Xiang had never seen such a show before. She asked doubtfully, "Do nothing but watch TV and talk? Will anyone see it like this? "
The operations manager smiled. "This kind of variety show is very popular now. It's easy for people to immerse themselves in the show. There's also the effect of the celebrities themselves. I think it's time for people to pay attention to your love life. Your words will make you a hot topic. You can express some of your own views on this show and make everyone believe that you're not a materialistic girl, not a lovey-dovey person, and definitely not going back to the past. What do you think? "
"Listening to you, it seems to be the case. I don't know much about this. You guys can decide." Chu Xiang wouldn't arrogantly make decisions about things she didn't understand. It was better to leave it to the professionals.
The other variety show was a task-based variety show with six regular MCs. Every episode had different challenges. Seat ejection, water battles, high altitude building blocks, and so on. There were also all kinds of interesting and cheeky games. The overall show was very happy and there were many viewers. The original female MC had to shoot two movies and had no time to take care of it. Hence, Uncle Dong recommended Chu Xiang.
Previously, Chu Xiang had shown an outstanding sense of variety in her two live broadcasts, so the other party didn't hesitate to agree.
Uncle Dong said, "This is purely an opportunity that I snatched by relying on favors. Many people are eyeing this vacancy. From the perspective of increasing national popularity, I'd rather take on one less drama than miss this variety show. "
The operations manager didn't want to give up on the variety show. He said, "You can film more variety shows. If you have time, I suggest you take on both."
Chu Xiang asked Tao to project her schedule on the big screen. Seeing that there was still some time for her to rest, she supported her chin. "I think the workload can be bigger."
