[Si Fuqing]: Thanks, and thank your grandfather for me too.
[JI Xingzhi]: No need to thank me, itâs nothing.
Sang Yanqing also spoke up, âEven though you were a last-minute replacement and didnât have a main role in âSeeking the Lost,â the reviews online are very positive. Your fans are eagerly anticipating your next movie.â
âSeeking the Lostâ was released today, and its first-day box office earnings exceeded the crewâs expectations.
It could be said that Si Fuqing single-handedly boosted the box office numbers.
However, since it wasnât a comedy or a feel-good film, âSeeking the Lostâ didnât attract as many viewers as other New Yearâs releases.
Online, there was also much discussion about the LI family losing their heir.
[Wow, who wouldâve thought Si Fuqing could act so well in modern dramas too? Her emotional scenes are incredible, and she holds her own against Queen Tao.]
[Can you believe Si Fuqing was a last-minute replacement? They say she nailed it in one take. Sheâs born to act!]
[Ahhhhhh, the studio says theyâre about to announce her next drama. Canât wait for the new project!]
[Not just the actors, this movie made me cry. The mother in the film had it so hard, searching for her child for over twenty years, then finding them just as they were about to commit suicide. Thankfully, it had a happy ending.]
[The story is based on the LI familyâs case. But after all this time, there might really be no hope left.]
[Praying that the LI family can find their child.]
Si Fuqing stretched after reading the comments. âI need to prepare for âThe Nationâs Heroineâ audition.â
âPrepare well. The role of JIANG Zhaoyue is extremely challenging, especially since she was a real historical heroine,â Sang Yanqing said seriously. âToday, [Show Title] called again. I still turned them down for you.â
Si Fuqing made an OK gesture. âI might get some inspiration after meeting the real person. No rush.â
Sang Yanqing: ââ¦?â
What did she mean by meeting the real person?
In her dreams?
Her artist was becoming more and more unusual.

Meanwhile, at the production crew that had been turned down.
âRejected?â The producer paused, frowning. âDidnât you tell her this drama is specifically crafted for the Cloud Award and the International TV Awards?â
Whether it was the Great Xia Empireâs xianxia dramas or the Western Continentâs magical shows, they were not award-winning material.
None of the Cloud Award winners had ever contained supernatural elements.
Moreover, reality dramas were more common, mostly telling stories of ordinary people struggling against their fate.
The producer and director had collaborated multiple times and had won several Cloud Awards.
Compared to the Cloud Awards, the Golden Flower Awards and Harmonious Awards seemed less significant.
Originally, Si Fuqing wasnât on their invitation list, but the massive success of âCrossing the Demon Realmâ both domestically and abroad proved she was a dark horse.
The producer had decisively sent the script to Si Fuqing before the New Year.
The director sighed, âI told her, but she still refused.â
âIf she doesnât want it, then she doesnât want it,â the producer was also slightly agitated. âAfter one successful drama, sheâs gotten so full of herself that she doesnât even care about the Cloud Awards. Sheâs not going to last long with that attitude.â
The directorâs tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled. âActually, she doesnât fit the female leadâs character. âCrossing the Demon Realmâ was fantasy. Making her act in a reality dramaâshe wonât be able to pull it off.â
The producer said coolly, âSheâs quite self-aware. Isnât she 19 this year? Still in her third year of high school. At her age, others are in college already. Sheâs been out of school for so long. Whether she can even get into college is uncertain.â
The female lead was a top student who emerged from a poor, male-preferential family, changing her fate with her own efforts.
Without such an academic background, how could Si Fuqing portray this role?
