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

Since working with Qin Xi, Director Xie's love for talent has reached its peak.

There are many good-looking actors, many talented actors, and even more actors who are willing to work hard.

But it is very rare to have all three, because most people find it difficult not to be proud and complacent when they have one or two of them.

Qin Xi cleverly combined these three qualities. With just her beauty, talent and diligence, Qin Xi is already a treasure. But during the filming of "Lone Eagle", Director Xie found that no matter how many people were in front of the monitor, the one he noticed first and paid the most attention to was Qin Xi!

There is no doubt that Qin Xi is special. But how special is she? Director Xie has been observing. Seeing Qin Xi interpret Xiang Xingran who joined the underground party, Director Xie gradually discovered that Qin Xi's specialness lies in her eyes. There is light in her eyes, a stubborn light, a light that refuses to admit defeat, and a light that never gives up. This pair of unique eyes gives Qin Xi a special color.

This trait of Qin Xi was fully demonstrated when she held an anti-black press conference. Normally, Director Xie would never bother to listen to or watch these boring black material scandals, but Director Xie just wanted to see how Qin Xi would react when she was forced to this point.

Sure enough, Director Xie saw Qin Xi's true self, and there was a fire in Qin Xi's eyes.

This fire is like a secret buried deep in Qin Xi's heart, which contains ambition, persistence, and even hatred. This fire can make Qin Xi never give up in the face of any difficulties; it can also make her get up and continue to climb even if she falls into the dust.

Director Xie didn't know where Qin Xi, a girl in her early 20s who had never left the ivory tower, got this passion from?

But Director Xie knew that this fire could bring endless energy to Qin Xi's limited life, pushing her towards a higher and more dangerous peak.

This fire can not only burn Qin Xi himself, but also illuminate others.

When filming "Lone Eagle", Director Xie just thought that Qin Xi was a talented person with great potential, and if she chose the right path in the future, she would have a promising future.

But after watching Qin Xi's press conference, Director Xie firmly believes that as long as this fire does not go out, no matter which path Qin Xi takes, all roads lead to Rome. Even if there is no road, she can still make one!

During this period, Director Xie Chichi had been repeatedly working on the script of "The Story of Yan Qing". After each revision, Director Xie would review it again. Slowly, Zhan Lan's face, Yan Qing's face, and Qin Xi's face overlapped.

Director Xie unconsciously brought Qin Xi's face into his mind. It was similar! It was too similar! Although their experiences were not the same, the similarity in temperament was hard to describe in words.

Perhaps it can be said that if Qin Xi traveled through time and space and experienced everything Yan Qing experienced, then Qin Xi's choice would definitely be highly consistent with Yan Qing. If Qin Xi and Xie Chi had not known each other for a long time, Director Xie would even have reason to doubt whether the role adapted by his daughter was adapted based on Qin Xi's appearance?

But the only uncertainty is that 70% of the character Yan Qing's costumes are men's clothing, and Director Xie has no idea about Qin Xi's look as a woman dressed as a man, so in the early stages of casting, Director Xie was so anxious to let Qin Xi return to Beijing to try on makeup.

When Qin Xi took off her makeup, painted her sword-like eyebrows, tied her black hair up high, put on a jade crown, dressed in official clothes and wore an official hat.

Director Xie knew it was a sure thing as soon as he saw it.

Qin Xi's tall and straight figure can fully support the man's robe. In every gesture, she is handsome and unrestrained, and her elegance and grace cannot hide her heroic spirit and a hint of girlish beauty.

It is even more stunning and eye-catching than Director Xie had imagined. It is true that heavy makeup or light makeup always suits everyone. Qin Xi's men's costume would look more heroic with a little more makeup, but a little dull with a little less makeup.

A definite plus point. Director Xie thought of a plot in "The Story of Yan Qing". Because Yan Qing was too beautiful, Zhan Yuan, a "face-chaser", once wanted to demote her from the position of No. 1 in the imperial examination and make her a more appropriate No. 3 in the imperial examination.

This plot is perfect for Qin Xi. Although Director Xie remained calm on the surface, he had already decided on Qin Xi.

However, the reality was not as expected. The investment amount of [The Biography of Yan Qing] was huge, and the capital chain of Yuanjing Film and Television alone was far from enough. It was necessary to find more financial sponsors to form a joint investment party in order to eat this "big pie" with an uncertain future.

After much difficulty, all the investors were found, but they all expressed their disagreement with the choice of the heroine. The investors thought that although Qin Xi had several representative works, she was still too young and immature, and it was not realistic to let her play the leading role of Yan Qing in "The Story of Yan Qing".

The candidate they preferred was Yue Ying, a veteran actress who just won the Golden Deer Award last year. Yue Ying is 32 years old this year and has starred in dozens of movies and TV series, winning many awards. Qin Xi's status is incomparable to Yue Ying's. And Yue Ying obviously has more commercial value.

Director Xie argued that Yue Ying's age did not fit the role. Although Yan Qing had lived two lives, he was only 18 years old when he became the top scholar after traveling through time. Yue Ying's age was almost twice that of the character. If she forced herself to look younger, it would easily distract the audience.

Moreover, Yue Ying's most popular image for a long time is a sentimental and even neurotic weak talented woman. This is very different from the image of a female general in Zhan Lan's previous life...

Director Xie earnestly said that everything must start from the role, and asked the sponsors to believe that his vision for directing over the years is correct.

But the financiers obviously have their own ideas. I invest in your play to make money. It is naturally much safer to choose a national actress like Yue Ying to play the core female role.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, which was why Qin Xi had been waiting for no news.

Later, the joint investors issued an ultimatum, saying that if Yue Ying was not invited quickly, they would withdraw their investment immediately. Director Xie had no choice but to do as he was told.

But don't say that Director Xie looks down on Yue Ying. Yue Ying also doesn't think much of "The Legend of Yan Qing". Yue Ying has just won a heavyweight film award, and she is not very interested in a TV series like "The Legend of Yan Qing", which is adapted from a novel and takes more than half a year to shoot.

The official response that Director Xie received was that Yue Ying was still considering it. Director Xie could only reveal this news to Qin Xi.

"As long as Yue Ying nods, Yan Qing will be hers! The little girl next to Zhan Lan was taken into the harem by Zhan Yuan. She was the first person to recognize Yan Qing and was also Yan Qing's undercover agent next to Zhan Yuan. She is cautious and cunning, and has extraordinary scheming. In the end, she grew up to become a concubine. This role is also very brilliant. Why not settle for the second best and consider the second female role?"

Qin Xi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As expected, it was Yue Ying. The second female lead was indeed very popular after the show was aired. Coupled with the long tail effect of the show, she was not a bad choice, but...

"Director, I always feel that I am the most suitable candidate for Yan Qing. I don't want to give up just like that. If there is a chance, I am willing to act for free..."

Qin Xi shook her head. Fortunately, Sister Meng was not around, otherwise she would have thought I was crazy...

Director Xie really didn't expect Qin Xi to go to such lengths for the role of Yan Qing, and he was very moved.

"I don't want to give up either. Your salary is just a drop in the bucket. OK... I can only try my best to fight for it. Don't hold out too much hope."

A week later, Qin Xi received another call from Director Xie.

"The investor has organized a drinking party, and there will be new potential investors present. You know this kind of drinking party... If you are willing to come, there may still be a chance..."

Qin Xi: ...
