But this person was Li Shengnan, hehe!
They say opportunity favors the prepared.
Jiang Ling received an opportunity arranged by the system, but she still needed to be prepared.
To play a role well, one must first understand the character deeply, then immerse oneself in it, achieving a state where the actor and the character become one, to truly capture the spirit of the person.
This was especially true for a weighty protagonist like Li Shengnan, requiring even greater caution.
If played well, she would undoubtedly become a huge star with a boundless future. If she messed up, damaging her reputation and credibility, she would be cursed by fans of the original work.
For the next few days, Jiang Ling pondered the character while waiting for the crew of "Cloud Sea Jade Bows."
However, as she waited, there was no news at all.
Suspicion clouded Jiang Ling's face. She thought, the system had arranged it, this shouldn't be happening!
Could it be that she had to find the crew herself for this role?
That wasn't right. If she had to find it herself, the system would definitely have given her a prompt.
Just like with the Heavenly Mountain Child Elder's exceptional skill, the system had specifically reminded her to personally recommend herself to the crew.
Could it be that the script had already been sent, and she just hadn't noticed?
With this thought, Jiang Ling quickly called Sister Sa: "I'm so bored lately, are there any roles to play?"
Sister Sa smiled and said, "Quite a few crews have approached you for roles lately, but those scripts were all garbage. Either the characters were unlikable, or the plots were a mess, full of cheesy melodrama, so I filtered them out for you."
"I'm so bored right now, if I stay home any longer, my bones will go soft. Bring me a few scripts to look at, maybe I can pick a good one."
Jiang Ling didn't dare let Sister Sa know about her system, so she asked her to bring more.
She had a hunch that "Cloud Sea Jade Bows" was likely mixed in with these scripts.
A woman's intuition is often surprisingly sharp.
A moment later, Sister Sa brought a stack of scripts half a meter high and placed them before Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling immediately picked out "Cloud Sea Jade Bows" from the pile and said, "This one."
"Ah?" Sister Sa couldn't help but exclaim.
Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"Lingzi, out of so many scripts, why did you pick this one?"
Seeing her strange expression, Jiang Ling asked in surprise: "What's wrong with this drama? Is it not good?"
"Not just not good, it's downright jinxed!" Sister Sa stuck out her tongue in disgust.
Hearing Sister Sa say that, Jiang Ling became even more curious: "This script looks quite good, why is it jinxed?"
"Lingzi, you don't know, this 'Cloud Sea Jade Bows'..."
From Sister Sa's account, Jiang Ling finally understood.
It turned out that "Cloud Sea Jade Bows" had already been filmed before Jiang Ling was slandered online and became a passé流量 (popular but without substance), passed the general administration's review, and was about to be broadcast on domestic mainstream platforms.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the trailer was released, the male second lead of the drama, who had gotten drunk and caused an accident, was imprisoned and became a tainted artist, with all related works being taken down.
Dramas that had not yet aired also had to be reshot or deleted to be broadcast.
Guan Suyii had no choice but to urgently find a capable male actor to reshoot the scenes.
After finally finishing, the actress playing Gu Zhihua, one of the two lead actresses, was also named by official media for tax evasion.
So, they had to find another actor to reshoot her scenes.
As one problem after another arose, before Gu Zhihua's scenes were sorted out, the actress playing Li Shengnan was exposed for seducing a married man.
Because of this incident, the wife ran to the set and caused a huge scene, leading to a big quarrel.
