“Is there an interview?” Liao Chujing asked. “Or can it be decided directly?”

“If we agree, we can sign the contract directly.” The manager seemed to know what Liao Chujing was thinking and said, “Shi Xi won’t even be able to come into contact with such a drama that is guaranteed to be on the Stars.”

Liao Chujing’s eyes were filled with contempt. “Heh, she’s only a little famous on the internet. She knows nothing about the television industry.”

“We’re maintaining our connections in the industry. What does a young girl like Shi Xi, who has just debuted, know? She doesn’t even go to cocktail parties. How can she know any big shots?” The manager also looked down on Shi Xi. What was the use of being popular on the internet?

In the 21st century, it was difficult to move without working in the industry, having no connections, and no capital.

The manager thought that if Shi Xi was an artiste under him, she would definitely have better resources and be more famous than she was now.

“I’ll take a look at the script. If it’s okay, 1’11 take it.”

Only a fool would push out an S+ grade production!

On the other side.

When Shi Xi saw the script that Zhu Lin had given her, she stopped eating her ice cream.

The ice cream melted and dripped onto the script before Shi Xi came back to her senses.

“This is an S+ grade script?” Shi Xi was speechless.

“It’s much better than the other scripts we’ve come across!” Zhu Lin said, “Besides, the male lead is Nie Shen. He’s been the Best Actor for two consecutive years. He has a lot of middle-aged and elderly fans!”

Shi Xi wiped the ice cream off with tissue paper and placed the script on the table before continuing to eat the ice cream. “Forget it. I’m not interested in this subject.”

“Is there anything wrong?” Zhu Lin was surprised. She picked up the script. “The investment for this drama is more than 200 million! Ancient dramas, grand scenes of war, unparalleled wisdom, and martial arts. Although the female lead has few scenes, it’s very important!”

Shi Xi said, “She’s the female lead, but every time she appears, she causes trouble.”

“The male lead and the supporting actor have dozens of times more scenes than the female lead. They express their affection while using the female lead.” “There’s nothing wrong with the script. It’s just that I don’t like this worldview.”

Zhu Lin felt tired. “You don’t want to accept it just because of this?”

Shi Xi leaned against the sofa and thought for a moment before saying, “There’s another reason.”

“Old actors have good acting skills! We can learn a lot,” Zhu Lin said.

“It will make me look more immature. Moreover, I’m young, so I’ll only be under more pressure and criticism. The relationship between the producer and the investor is complicated,” Shi Xi said. “If we go in, we’ll be wading in muddy water.”

Zhu Lin thought about it and agreed. “These people seem to be in the same circle. I reckon we’ll just have to force our way in.”

“Refuse,” Shi Xi replied.

She was too lazy to deal with these people.

Moreover, the script seemed to be full of thunder points. She wondered why the investors would invest 200 million yuan.

Capital, awesome.

Shi Xi had silently rejected the script and the news had not leaked out.

The production team would not go around advertising that they had invited XXX to be the female lead, but the other party had rejected them.

(The vengeful drama company would bring up such things when the drama was popular.)

Shi Xi stayed at Hai Cheng University and started her school life, occasionally taking on small jobs.

Without a good script, she would rather rest more.

Anyway, she did not lack fame or money now.

Seeing that Shi Xi was really going to school, Zhu Lin said in surprise, “Are you really going to stay in Hai Cheng?”

“Stay for a while.” Shi Xi had her hair tied up in a high ponytail and her makeup was very light. She hugged her book and put on her glasses, looking even more like a student.

Zhu Lin didn’t know what to say.

However, Shi Xi indeed did not have any big jobs recently, so she could only let Shi Xi go to school.

“Alright, don’t cause trouble in school. If there’s anything, contact me immediately,” Zhu Lin instructed..
