The miserable White Moonlight awakens and becomes popular in the entertainment circle

"Have you chosen?" Sister Meng took the script and took a look at it, and immediately took a breath of cold air.

He reached out and touched Qin Xi's forehead.

Qin Xi subconsciously dodged, "Sister Meng, what are you doing?"

"I want to see if your brain is burnt out!" Sister Meng said gritting her teeth.

"You picked and chose from thousands of options, and you chose this one, the one I rejected at first sight?!"

Qin Xi smiled calmly, "Sister Meng, I can't always stay in my comfort zone..."

Sister Meng immediately questioned angrily, "Where is your comfort zone?"

Humph, since debuting, what kind of dramas have you not filmed? What kind of dramas have not been a hit? Now you are using the "comfort zone" to put me off.

"TV dramas are my comfort zone!" Qin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled proudly.

Sister Meng choked suddenly. You know what, this is really the case!

Sister Meng quickly said, "I know you want to make a movie. It's time for you to make a movie now, but you can't choose such a 'three-no script'!"

"What do you mean by 'three-no script'?"

Sister Meng clapped her hands, "There is no screenwriter, no actors, and no investment! There is also a most fatal flaw, it... it has a sensitive subject matter!"

As an executive agent in charge of film and television, Meng Jie is serious and responsible. She will carefully check every script she finds. She has a thorough understanding of the past and present of this script called "The Abyss and You".

This script has been around for a long time, and it is very complete. But the most interesting thing is that this script has no team and no production. It can be said that there is nothing but the script!

There is only one person in charge of this script. He is the director, the screenwriter, and the person in charge of soliciting investment. Otherwise, how can it be called a "three-no script"? It can't even be considered a makeshift team. It's basically a one-man show.

The director and screenwriter of this script is Chen Bingxia, a female journalist in her early thirties who changed careers. Half a year ago, she decided to give up her career as a journalist and start her own business. And "The Abyss and You" is her stepping stone to start her own business.

But the road to entrepreneurship is very bumpy, and this stepping stone has not opened a door for her so far. In fact, the quality of this script is not only very good, but also quite profound. But the subject matter is very niche, even a sensitive art film.

Because the heroine of this script is an AIDS patient.

The script tells the story of a nurse in a tertiary hospital who was infected with HIV due to occupational exposure. After experiencing a desperate inner struggle, she decided to live a good life within the limited life she had been sentenced to with a suspended death sentence.

She is positive and has enlightened and encouraged many patients through her many years of medical experience and optimistic and cheerful spirit.

Later, she became an Internet celebrity for her unexpected bravery and outsmarting gangsters. Because she was an AIDS patient, she was caught in an unprecedented Internet explosion...

"For a script like this, no matter how good it is, can the role attract you? But we have to consider the reality. The film and television industry is developing day by day, and the SARFT's review of films is becoming more and more strict. After working hard for several months to shoot this film, it is still a question whether it can be broadcast!"

"It can be broadcast." Qin Xi answered affirmatively.

"How do you know?" Sister Meng asked curiously.

"I just know it!" Qin Xi smiled mysteriously.

"You can understand it as... a woman's intuition~"

Sister Meng: “…”

Qin Xi had a deep impression of this movie in his previous life. "The Abyss and You" is definitely the best example of a low-budget art film making a comeback!

In particular, the film's female director, Chen Bingxia, created this film debut with her sharp and unique, yet gentle and delicate female perspective, which won numerous awards in one fell swoop. Since then, she has become a leading figure among female directors of Chinese-language films. Later, she also created more popular classic works.

In his previous life, Qin Xi didn't know much about the film industry. He only knew that "The Abyss and You" and Chen Bingxia came out of nowhere, and Chen Bingxia's career was going smoothly with her unparalleled talent. Unexpectedly, no one was interested in the film before it was released or even filmed. Maybe it was not only that no one was interested, but it also encountered many twists and turns.

Because the official filming time of the previous life "The Abyss" was three years later, and it took another two years after the filming to be officially released. The difficulties encountered in the middle were unimaginable, but fortunately "The Abyss" did not disappoint.

Qin Xi still remembers that the film was released on the Qingming Festival in 2015. It did not make any splash at first, but soon after, word of mouth soared, countless tap water poured in, and the box office reversed the decline.

The film is thought-provoking and inspiring. For many years, AIDS patients have been looked down upon and avoided by the world. From the moment they are diagnosed, they are destined to be in disgrace for the rest of their lives and become the rats that everyone wants to kill.

But who should people really despise, the patients or the virus itself? Aren’t AIDS patients also victims?

After the film went viral, it attracted huge attention from the society and caused heated discussions among the whole nation.

"The Abyss" also became the highest-grossing art film in history that year.

But the only regret is that the funds were too tight during the filming of "The Abyss", and there was no budget to hire experienced actors. The heroine was just a student who had just graduated from a film academy. Her performance was completely experiential, and it was difficult to hide her awkwardness and immaturity when exposed in front of the big screen.

This is the only point that the film has been criticized for. However, the film's merits outweigh its flaws. It is not easy for the film to take root and sprout like weeds at a very low cost and finally be presented to the audience.

Director Chen Bingxia later calmly stated in an interview that this was an force majeure factor due to limited conditions.

Qin Xi really didn't expect that this script had been created as early as 2010. And it appeared in one of the many books that she had completely eliminated. If Qin Xi hadn't had the spirit of casting a wide net and focusing on fishing, this book would have said goodbye to her completely.

Sister Meng is still trying to persuade her.

"Xiaoxi, you are now a well-deserved top star. Your image has always been elegant, beautiful and positive. Have you ever thought about the fact that you suddenly took on the role of an AIDS patient? Even if this film is really broadcast, your decadent and depressed image will be exposed on the big screen. Will your fans be able to accept it? How will the brands you endorse view you? Will your popularity plummet?"

"You are no longer the newcomer who has nothing to lose. You have been burdened with too much. You must be extremely careful in every move and not allow any mistakes. You must consider these practical issues!"

Qin Xi took a deep breath.

“This character does have moments of depression and dejection, but her deep spiritual core is the positive energy of constantly moving forward even in the abyss. I believe that people who truly understand this character will not be fooled by her superficial appearance. As for whether I can play it out, it depends on my ability!”

"The reason why actors need traffic is that they want to have more choices in scripts and not miss out on their favorite roles due to lack of fame."

"That's my original intention. I can't let it stop me. I'll definitely take this script!"
