ALL NOVEL
Chapter 152
"A TV series?"
Ji Ruochu was puzzled when she finally returned home after her trip.
"Yes, the news passed on by your Uncle Qin from Old Shang's side, saying it's an olive branch extended by him." Ji Mochen poured a glass of water for his daughter.
"Uncle Qin?" Ji Ruochu's attention drifted a little. "You poached Uncle Qin over?"
"....Not yet."
A certain Ji-surnamed Heavenly King touched his nose. He wanted to poach, but was rejected by the other party with "I want to live a few more years" as the reason.
"I'm going back to school soon, so I probably can't shoot for now." Ji Ruochu glanced at the phone she had been thinking about.
"That's what I said, but your Uncle Qin said the other party is in no hurry, and can wait three or five years, however long it takes."
As the old father spoke, he also handed the script to his daughter. "Take a look first. If you want to act as the dad, tell your Uncle Qin to contact them. If you're not interested, we'll pretend we never received this news."
I can get Brother Qin to reject it then, he thought.
With this in mind, Ji Mochen suddenly felt that it was also not bad that the former agent had not been poached by him but was still working for two bosses on one salary.
The busy Uncle Qin who was busy tearing up endorsement deals for the artists under him suddenly sneezed.
After Ji Mochen left, Ji Ruochu moved her neck and flipped open the script.
She originally thought it would be one of those popular romance TV dramas, but when she opened the cover—
Wow, it turned out to be the TV adaptation of "Shock! The Good-for-Nothing Girl Turned Out to Be a Big Shot", the Mary Sue novel she had read twenty years ago.
She flipped through her records of her previous life’s memories, and as expected, she found a note about this.
At that time, Tan Ruo had just entered the ranks of little flowers in the second tier, and the resources in her hands were also very good. Among them, the best was this TV series directed by the then-famous director Old Shang as the chief director.
The reason why she was approached for this role was because most netizens voted for her.
Aside from her fans, many original novel fans also felt that she was very suitable at that time. The only concern was her action scenes.
Since this drama was one of the few leading actress TV series focused on action scenes, the deputy director was the then up-and-coming director Qiu Xuetong.
Not to mention, just the collaboration between these two directors was already enough to make most actresses in the circle crazily covet this role, not to mention the several male support roles at that time were all popular little fresh meats who had good acting skills, good looks, and a strong fanbase.
Everyone knew that whoever was the heroine of this drama would become the next big first-line movie queen.
As one of the few new generation actresses with decent acting skills, looks, and fanbase at that time, Ji Ruochu was also one of the top choices in terms of popularity.
However, just as the two sides had started contacting each other, and Ji Ruochu had confirmed that she was willing to endure hardship and start training in martial arts a year in advance, this role still slipped away in the end.
As for the reason...
It was the then raging rumor that "Tan Ruo intruded on the Fang Yang couple”.
Even later when the couple issued statements, even when she won the defamation lawsuit against the marketing accounts, missing out on this script at that time still shattered her originally good reputation.
The cost of rumor-mongering was low, but the road to clarification was difficult. By the time she won the lawsuit, it was too late.
Although afterwards, relying on her acting skills, she still gained a foothold in the film and television industry, she was unable to make up for that period of hiatus in the middle.
Even until now, she could still see marketing account posts about “Exposing the affairs between Queen Tan and her rumored lover”.
Of course, these were not the point. The point was, when she wrote down these memory fragments, it was to remind herself to pay attention.
If this TV series had been filmed, then see who the final casting was. If it hadn’t been filmed yet...she must not go film it herself.
Yes, she read right, this was a mine clearing memory note.
There were three reasons.
First, you ignored me back then, so I’ll make sure you can’t reach me now.
Second, this TV series was outdated long ago. The original plot that seemed like a Mary Sue story would now only be greasy enough to stir-fry three dishes if filmed.
Third...this show was too tiring, requiring both grace and agility. Now that she had reincarnated, she shouldn’t make things difficult for herself and should moderately slack, and enjoy life.
Hmm, the last point was inappropriate.
Ji Ruochu frowned and silently deleted this reason.
The early bird gets the worm. Slacking now would be too decadent! No good, no good!
She was not as smart as her classmates in Class i to begin with. She couldn’t slack, the slow bird must fly first!
As this thought emerged, several huge words at the bottom of the notebook caught her eye:
【Sis! Stop being a tryhard! You’ve already killed yourself with overwork once! I beg you, moderately slack for now! Don’t forget Little Ruo’s final wishes!】
Ji Ruochu: ......
Very good, the high she was on just now was instantly suppressed a little.
Yes, yes, slacking, slacking...
“Daddy, Mommy! Let’s play games together!”
“Great idea~~” Enthusiastic voices rang out from the living room.
Five minutes later...
Old father scratched his head: “Dear daughter...what game is this?”
Old mother was equally confused: “We have to solve puzzles to play games now? Why are there mathematical formulas?”
Ji Ruochu earnestly: “Yes, this is the most popular brain training game genre nowadays. Playing more can prevent senile de—cough cough, develop intelligence.”
The couple: ......
【Cough cough, in case there’s any bunnies reading while jumping around, let me add some explanation.
After Ruoruo bun realized her memories of her previous life will slowly disappear, she took note of some key memory fragments, not only to complete the regrets from her past life, but also to prevent working herself to death again.
But the thing is, a leopard can’t change its spots so easily, Ruoruo still finds it hard to resist the urge to be a tryhard, she will unconsciously start working hard again.】
