Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!
Chapter 502 - Chapter 502 Chapter 502 The Second Female Lead of the Republic

Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The Second Female Lead of the Republic of China Graceful Hero Chapter 502: Chapter 502: The Second Female Lead of the Republic of China Graceful Hero Xu Jiayang pondered, “Indeed, it’s time to start accepting notices. You are at the peak of your popularity right now, so you need to strike while the iron is hot.”

The entertainment industry is very much like a flowing river, if you want to maintain the heat, you need sufficient exposure.

And exposure can’t always rely on hype, having your own work is the long-term strategy!

This is also why many fresh-faced young actors and actresses suddenly become popular, only to fade into obscurity not long after.

Sensationalism attracts attention momentarily, but without a representative work, one is naturally forgotten.

Xia Shi nodded, “I’ve already thought about this. Our target is international, so we’re aiming for the big screen, making movies. I’m not planning to accept TV series for her.”

Xu Jiayang nodded, “Indeed, you need to have a long-term perspective.”

“I have a script here. ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero’ has a second female lead. It’s Wan Ke’s first work after returning from abroad, and he sent an invitation directly, no audition required.”

As she spoke, Xia Shi cautiously glanced at Xu Jiayang’s expression.

As expected, his expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat gloomy.

“Actually, we can also pick other scripts.”

Xia Shi quickly changed her words.

‘Republic of China Graceful Hero’ was actually the most suitable for Xia Weibao so far.

Wan Ke’s status in the directorial world was pivotal. His study abroad had already garnered much attention, and now his high-profile return with the script ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero’ caused quite a stir.

One could say it was famous before shooting even began!

Many people were waiting to audition, even vying for a minor role.

She had previously planned for Xia Weibao to audition for the second female lead.

But unexpectedly, just last night, Wan Ke had personally sent an invitation for Xia Weibao to play the second female lead.

This was undoubtedly a rare opportunity!

However, the grudge between Wan Ke and Xu Jiayang…

After having worked together for so long, the four of them had already become friends. If he wasn’t happy, she could help Xia Weibao choose another role.

Xu Jiayang looked up, gave her a glance, “No need, just take this one. Although Xia Weibao is currently well-known, she doesn’t have a representative work. ‘Allure’ is just a web drama, not high-profile enough.

Rather than taking the lead in some obscure movies, it’s better to take the second female lead in ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero,’ where she will get more exposure.

I’ve seen the script, and the second female lead’s role is very compatible with her temperament, a natural fit for her.

Moreover, the leading male role is played by the Movie King Han Luoqi, and the leading female role by Chu Ying; it’s a powerful lineup.

And with Baby currently in the spotlight, acting alongside Chu Ying will naturally be a point of interest.

There’s nothing more suitable than this.

Xia Shi, arrange it however you want, don’t worry about me.”

Xia Shi nodded, indicating she understood.

That was her train of thought too, to separate personal from business.

Frankly speaking, all of them were capable of stirring up envy in the entertainment industry. If they were too considerate of everything, they simply wouldn’t be able to act freely.

How could they quickly develop and grow that way?

Only when they became stronger, would they have the right to be choosy!

“Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll reply to Wan Ke. Xia Weibao will play the second female lead in ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero.’ Although it’s the second lead, Baby, don’t be discouraged. This is just a process. Once your fame rises, you’ll naturally get to play the lead in big movies.

And I believe in your strength, to outperform Chu Ying. That way, your status will be secure!”

Xia Shi, fearing that Xia Weibao might feel uncomfortable, offered words of comfort.

However, unbeknownst to her, Xia Weibao had been playing King of Glory the whole time and hadn’t heard a word she said.

“Huh, Sister Xia Shi, repeat that, I didn’t catch it. Wait, let me just finish off this guy first, then you can tell me.”
