These two TV series, regardless of whether Fang Mo’er’s acting was good or not, were just vehicles to showcase the male lead.
Fang Mo’er was a little hesitant.
She was contemplating whether she could participate in both of them.
Shen Yue said helplessly, “These two TV series are this year’s main TV series. I don’t know how many artistes from the company will be competing for the roles of the male and female lead roles. Initially, the company had made the decision to appoint a female lead role for you. However, the news then came from the higher-ups that they don’t plan to make any special exceptions. They will only rely on the live auditions to pick the most suitable candidate.”
Shen Yue moved closer to Fang Mo’er and lowered her voice, “Did you quarrel with your family member?”
Fang Mo’er shook her head. No.
Both she and Shi Mo were fine.
“Then, why did the higher-ups change their mind?” Shen Yue was also very surprised.
Fang Mo’er said, “Forget it, I’m not afraid of competing based on my abilities.”
“Miss Fang, what you may not know is that if you really compete, your competitors might be A-list celebrities, or even best actors and actresses. Will you be able to beat them?”
Shen Yue said, “I have a backup plan here. This is a television series that revolves around the female lead.”
Fang Mo’er picked it up and took a look. She only saw that the script read, “High Monk, Please Follow Me!”
The corner of Fang Mo’er’s mouth twitched and she quickly pushed the script away. “No, no, this script is too big.”
Shen Yue was puzzled. “How do you know? Have you seen the original manga? Although the original manga is a little trashy, it can’t be denied that this is currently the most popular manga. Moreover, when it was adapted, the scriptwriters also made conservative changes according to the standards of the TV series.”
Shen Yue saw that Fang Mo’er was unmoved, so she continued, “Although this is the first TV series that has been adapted from a manga, the fan base of this IP is very large. I feel that you’ll have more chances to shine in this TV series.”
Of course, Fang Mo’er knew that the entire manga revolved around the female lead. Everyone else was just a foil.
Even the male lead did not have as many scenes as the female lead. He was just an embellishment to the female lead’s love scenes.
There were even several other male lead roles. All of them were bigwigs from all walks of life. The moment they saw the female lead, they would fall in love with her at first sight.
Fang Mo’er counted. There were a total of four male leads who were in love with the female lead in the entire manga.
When Fang Mo’er had been writing the storyline, she had been able to do whatever she wanted. After all, no one knew who the author was.
But the moment she acted it out… she would embarrass herself to death.
“No, no, no!” Fang Mo’er shook her head repeatedly. “It’d be better for me to consider the first two shows.”
Shen Yue said, “Alright then. Actually, there are A-list actresses competing for the female lead in those two shows so you’ll have to be mentally prepared.”
Even though Fang Mo’er had won first place in the new talent award, at best, she would be considered as a newcomer who had only just emerged.
In this industry, A-list actors who had played many female lead roles and those who were highly skilled actors and actresses would not be easy to challenge.
Shen Yue still hoped that Fang Mo’er would play the female lead role in ‘High Monk, Please Follow Me!’ for her own selfish reasons.
Although this manga was very popular, many female artistes would not be willing to accept such a large-scale TV series because of their reputation.
Therefore, there was little competition.
If the previous two dramas were major productions, then “High Monk” would be more like an online drama. There would not be a high-level team, and there would not be a large investment. It would just be riding on a wave of popularity.
However, playing the female lead of this drama would allow for maximum exposure and performance.
Compared to movies, Shen Yue felt that this would be the best way for Fang Mo’er to let more people see her and acknowledge her acting skills.
Fang Mo’er was still struggling, yet she planned to audition for the two main dramas in a few days.
At the same time, her identity as the Veiled Queen had also received a notice from Wanfeng Mall to shoot a cover advertisement.
In the car, Xiao Tian was reading the script with great interest.
“Sister Fang, I think this manga is quite interesting. Why don’t you give it a try? The adaptation of this script is also very conservative.” Every now and then, Xiao Tian would look up and compliment Fang Mo’er after reading the script for a while.
Fang Mo’er could not help but say, “What did Sister Shen promise you? I’ll give you double!”
Xiao Tian quickly touched the latest hair accessory on her head. It was fashionable and shiny. She said, “No, I genuinely think this TV series will help you gain more fans.”
Furthermore, she was really engrossed in reading the script.
Fang Mo’er glanced at her head and said, “You’re such a good-for-nothing. I’ll buy you a better one later. Don’t say anymore. I’ve made up my mind.”
“Ah!” Xiao Tian was helpless.
When they arrived at the mall, they were still half an hour ahead of the scheduled time for the shoot.
Fang Mo’er put on her veil and led Xiao Tian to the jewelry shop in the mall.
They were really going to pick out an accessory for Xiao Tian.
Looking at the shop’s facade, it was extremely luxurious.
