Director Yan paused for a moment, then took out the script, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Song Yue.

"Why don't you read the script first?"

Song Yue looked down and saw the two huge characters: "Heroine".

Song Yue looked up at Director Yan in shock. Just from those two names, she knew that this was a martial arts film with a female perspective.

This is very rare in martial arts movies.

In most martial arts films, women make up only a small portion of the cast, and in some films, they are merely decorative figures.

It's not just because women make up a small percentage of martial arts culture that this leads to fewer well-developed female characters in martial arts stories.

Furthermore, male characters in martial arts films are more likely to gain market acceptance because the majority of the audience for martial arts films is male.

Seeing Songyue's shocked expression, Yan Tai smiled smugly to himself, but calmly reached out to her.

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look? See what the character looks like."

He thought that any actress who loves acting would find it hard to refuse this script.

Yan Tai's words seemed to have a kind of magic, as if urging you to open Pandora's box.

But to everyone's surprise, Song Yue didn't make a move at all, and said calmly.

"Director Yan, I know this is a good script, but I still maintain that my main task going forward is team activities."

Despite knowing that this was a rare gem of a book and that she would likely never receive another one like it, Matsumatsuki still reluctantly refused to look at it.

There's no way to change it; it's a team activity, and it can't be changed because of her alone.

Everyone made time to prepare for the new album, which Wensi put a lot of effort into. In order to accommodate her and Wensi, everyone moved the practice and recording location to City A.

Isn't it just so as not to interfere with her regular classes?

Although no one said it, Songyue understood everyone's feelings.

So even though it was a delicious meal that smelled amazing, Matsue still refused it.

Seeing that Songyue remained so 'stubborn', Yan Tai was so angry that he glared at her.

He didn't believe Song Yue wasn't tempted, but she clearly was, yet still refused, which infuriated Yan Tai even more.

Finally, the old man snorted angrily, and without wanting to see her get up, he left.

When Feng Zhen passed by her, she couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times.

Finally, Qu Kaiyu looked at Songyue and Tian Jing with some embarrassment, but couldn't help but explain.

"The old man is getting on in years, and his temper is like that of a child. Don't worry, he's not angry with you. He's just a little confused because he sees talented people but can't use them."

Songyue's face did not show any signs of dejection.

"I understand what President Qu means. I can tell that Director Yan isn't angry."

It's a real shame I couldn't work with Director Yan; I regret missing this valuable opportunity.

Although we didn't collaborate this time, it wasn't a wasted trip. I learned about many interesting things that happened during filming in the past, and I also got to see the still-sharp Director Yan. It was a rare experience.

Upon hearing this, Qu Kaiyu was no longer in a hurry and even had the mood to drink tea.

"Haste makes waste when it comes to good tea; sometimes you need to be patient when drinking tea."

I am grateful to Ms. Matsue and Manager Tian for gracing us with tea today. Regardless of the circumstances, I, Qu Kaiyu, deeply appreciate their hospitality.

As he left, he took a deep look at Songyue before slowly departing the tea room, leaving only the aroma of tea in the room.

Tian Jing frowned.

"Is there any chance this situation can be turned around?"

Otherwise, what did Qu Kaiyu mean by those words? In the entertainment industry, someone in his position wouldn't say anything pointless; there must be a deeper meaning behind them.

She could naturally tell that Songyue was interested in the play, but the timing just didn't work out.

Songyue tapped her fingers on the paper, glanced at the script on the table—which she wondered if she had forgotten about in her haste—and chuckled softly.

"Whether there is a turning point or not, we have done all we can, and the turning point is not in our hands."

After saying that, he picked up the script and left.

Tian Jing hurriedly followed, thinking that she must investigate this matter thoroughly. It seemed that there were still variables in this matter, so she had to prepare in advance.

On the way back, Songyue had already opened the script and started reading.

However, even from the very beginning, Matsue's attention was immediately drawn.

This is a female protagonist who uses a knife. It's just the beginning, but it already proves the saying: the pinker the clothes, the more ruthless she is when she cuts people.

The story unfolds from the perspective of a young, inexperienced female swordswoman who meets the daughter of a runaway martial arts leader and a learned scholar with a missing finger along the way.

The three initially disliked each other, but later went on to do good deeds and uphold justice.

What makes Songyue so captivated is that the female protagonist not only cares about the common people, but also stands up for the wronged beggars or ordinary people who are being bullied.

Just like the line in the script, "Punishing evil and promoting good, protecting the virtuous, on the path of the martial world, only righteousness can prevail."

The script doesn't depict a story of saving the martial arts world for a large part; instead, it focuses on the stories of ordinary people at the bottom of society. But isn't the martial arts world made up of the majority of ordinary people and those at the bottom of society?

It's like lighting up individual stars, which eventually connect to form a seamless, exquisite, and magnificent star map.

This script must have been polished over many years to reach its current state.

Moreover, according to Songyue, this female lead is very 'down-to-earth'. She understands the hardships of life, is admired by others, but is not aloof.

It is precisely this "down-to-earth" quality that makes her so relatable and relatable.

When Songyue finished reading the line, "My blade is only drawn for justice, to restore fairness to the world."

He could hardly contain his excitement.

The script's dialogue is profound, exploring human nature, even a minor villain can deliver such lines.

"No matter what kind of great hero she is, as long as she has feelings, she is not unkillable, because sometimes feelings are more powerful than any martial arts. They can become a weapon that can penetrate a person."

This is also why Song Yue feels that martial arts dramas are now declining in popularity. The dialogue is plain and modern, and they even call it a combination with modernity and a kind of innovation.

After reading it, she couldn't help but exclaim that it truly lived up to Director Yan's reputation as a script that left readers in awe.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the car hadn't moved for a long time. When she turned around, she found that she had already arrived at her destination.
