She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"Sister Wen Ya's guess is very likely correct." Su Lingxi's tone was also calm, "Maybe it's because of the previous movie release conflict that made them very dissatisfied with me."

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't angry about having her role taken away from her, but what had already happened was already happening and the contract had even been signed overnight. Instead of nagging about it, she might as well find a way to remedy the loss as soon as possible.

"This is inevitable. They lost a lot of money on the movie 'The Pursuit'." Yang Qian put the water cup in front of Su Lingxi, signaling her to refill it in time. "Let's get back to the point. 'Girls in the City' is now completely a thing of the past. We have to reconsider the arrangement of your next movie."

"Red Careerist" can't be released in China until at least after the Berlin Film Festival in February next year. If you don't shoot anything during the winter vacation, you may face a gap of several months or even a year."

Su Lingxi thought about it and said, "Perhaps we can wait until the results of the film festival come out before considering this matter. If we are shortlisted, we will have a wider range of scripts to choose from."

"This is of course the best scenario - but right now, the chance of Red Careerist being shortlisted is only 50%." Yang Qian had to point out the fact, "What if it fails? Are these two months just wasted by you?"

Su Lingxi pursed her lips and said helplessly: "I have read most of the scripts handed over. To be honest, the quality of the scripts is not as good as "Red Careerist"."

If people stay in their comfort zone for too long, they will become complacent. Only by constantly trying different types to break through themselves can they make progress instead of standing still or even regressing.

It was a surprise and an opportunity to come across such a high-quality script as "The Red Careerist" - Su Lingxi wanted to seize this opportunity to climb higher.

"Where's the script for the TV series? I seem to have seen a detective costume drama before. Have you read the script?" Yang Qian asked while quickly flipping through a pile of documents in her hand.

Before Su Lingxi could answer, Ruan Tang spoke first.

"I don't recommend you to let her take on TV dramas in the next two years." She rejected Yang Qian's proposal without hesitation. "First of all, we can't get the complete script for the TV drama. Secondly, Huasheng Film and Television is worried about having no topics to tie Dai Xiaoyue and Lingxi together. If she acts in a TV drama now, it will be handing the opportunity to tie them together to her."

"The more Washington wants to compete with us head-on, the more we have to play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. TV dramas bring popularity, topicality and fan traffic, and these can also be obtained through acting in movies - as long as you act well enough and the box office is high enough, the value of a movie is at least equivalent to three TV dramas."

The meaning of Ruan Tang's words could not be clearer: since their current advantage is in the film industry, they should maximize this advantage.

No matter how high the fans of traffic stars jump, they cannot deny the fact that movie stars are superior to others - even those who have won awards for their performances in TV dramas value every opportunity to appear on the big screen.

It is recognized worldwide that movie stars have the highest status.

"You mean, you want her to find a way to win the award before considering taking on a TV drama?" Yang Qian heard the hidden meaning in Ruan Tang's words.

Ruan Tang nodded slightly: "If she doesn't win a Best Actress trophy in two years, she can no longer be considered my student."

Yang Qian: “…”

If it was someone else, she would definitely say that her ambitions were too high, but the person who said this was Ruan Tang, who won the Best Actress award in her first year of debut and was a talented newcomer that year.

Su Lingxi was listening to Ruan Tang's "military order" and felt nervous and pressured, but more importantly, excited.

Although she has heard various compliments from many people since her debut more than a year ago, this is the first time that Ruan Tang has expressed his affirmation of her so openly.

"You are full of confidence." Yang Qian snorted and asked, "So we should give up taking the film for the time being and wait until the end of the film festival next year?"

Ruan Tang shook her head, a subtle smile flickering on her lips: "Didn't I tell you before that there is an art film project based on a famous novel that is about to start?"

"But I remember that the project you mentioned has been shelved for more than half a year." Yang Qian frowned.

"Wanhua paid to buy it." Ruan Tang smiled and crossed her arms. "She founded a film and television company called Yuexing Production. This project will be the first one to be filmed by their company."

Yang Qian opened her mouth wide: "When did it happen?"

She didn't hear a single word?

"About... last month? You know, her identity is different now than it was before, so she must have done a better job of keeping it a secret."

Ruan Tang said lightly.

Su Lingxi was not as surprised as Yang Qian at this moment. She had heard Wu He mention that Director Tang seemed to be planning to shoot a new film, but she did not say what the specific project was.

I didn’t expect Director Tang to be able to strike the right balance between her ideals and her family so quickly... Su Lingxi was sincerely happy for her.

Yang Qian: "But the author's daughter seems to be still alive? The copyright of the work should be inherited by her, right?"

"Yes, her daughter is a screenwriter and has become one of the screenwriters of this movie." Ruan Tang looked at Su Lingxi and reminded her, "When the audition comes, this screenwriter He will also be present. Only actors who are recognized by her can be included in the casting list."

"Lingxi, please read the novel carefully during this period. There is no script for this audition. You just need to perform according to your understanding of the original work."

Ruan Tang took out a paper book of moderate thickness from the filing cabinet and handed it to her.

The moment Su Lingxi saw the title of the book clearly, her heart skipped a beat.

Even though the red carpet show of the KQ ceremony has ended for nearly 24 hours, fans' desire to discuss it has not decreased much. Whether it is Weibo, Xiaohongshu or Banzu, you can see all kinds of different comments: some are passers-by who are truly interested in fashion, and some are just "passers-by" who are fans themselves.

Of course, fans or haters alike have to admit that Su Lingxi's red carpet look, which was quite retro in style from the last century, was very eye-catching. Even if she was mixed in among dozens of photos competing for beauty, people could not help but stop for a few seconds for her.

The girls who were interested in her began to find ways to get to know her, but they were surprised to find that her magazine interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, roadshow videos and various street shots were even more charming than she was on the red carpet.

"Lingxi always has something to say in every interview. You can tell at a glance that it is her own experience and understanding, unlike some 208s who have empty heads and need the staff to help write the scripts."

"She is more cultured than I thought. Her temperament is truly unique in the Chinese entertainment industry..."

"I just fell into the trap like this..."

……

This red carpet show obviously gave most people a better impression of Su Lingxi: a young actor with elegant temperament and down-to-earth acting skills, who deserves a better future.
