Chapter 161: Sorry, My idol load is Too heavy

Chapter 161

"This might sound a bit highbrow, but... if the character's actions, the whole plot lacks logical coherence, and it's all about face-slapping, highlighting moments, and abusing scum, then I really... have no interest in taking on this drama," Ji Ruochu's words left the producer momentarily silent; frankly, he found such remarks somewhat ludicrous.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, apart from seasoned veterans who have already achieved fame and fortune, who would care about the logic of characters in a drama? Who isn't striving to climb higher? Even going all out for a role, using all their tricks, unlike Ji Ruochu...

Oh, well, almost forgot, she indeed doesn't need to. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Perhaps sensing what the producer was thinking, Ji Ruochu added, "Of course, I don't mean to belittle the enjoyment of light novels. Nowadays, people face immense life pressure, study pressure, work pressure. It's perfectly fine to unwind by reading some decompression novels during leisure time. Novels themselves are not literary masterpieces, nor is there a rule that says works with high intentions are superior.

It's just that, Grandpa Shang, most of my fans are around ten years old, some like me are college students, some are high school students, or even elementary school students.

When they admire me, I'm the example of winning awards in competitions, when they aim to emulate me, I'm the highest scorer in the national exam that year.

So... I'm sorry, my idol baggage is too heavy, I really can't take on this drama if it continues with this logic."

With this statement, the producer was stunned.

Goodness, he had been working with Shang Director for so many years, and this was the first time someone had said in front of them that their idol baggage was heavy.

You know, even famous domestic actors and actresses, when they come to Shang's crew, each one of them is tougher than the other. Who dares to say that their idol baggage is heavy?

"... Ruochu, Grandpa understands your thoughts."

Even more unexpectedly, Director Shang didn't show the slightest displeasure, instead, he smiled,

"Alright, in that case, give it some time. You can take a look at the revised script later. If the script still doesn't meet your satisfaction by then, Grandpa won't have the face to invite you to participate again."

"...Okay."

It wasn't until evening that Ji Ruochu and others finally left the crew, each riding their electric scooters towards the suburban villa area.

Yep, you read it right, electric scooters, the kind you can rent from the roadside.

Simple to operate, and safety is not bad either.

Even someone as famous as Ji Ruochu, once she puts on a helmet, no one can recognize her.

Of course, the reason why a few kids chose this mode of transportation is mainly because Ling Chujin has property near the studio, agreed to take them home for dinner after work.

And the nearby villa area, if you drive, you have to take a long detour, but it's different with electric scooters, you can be home in ten minutes.

As for why Ling Chujin has property near the film and television city...

Don't ask, it's the story of the fan leader splurging to pursue a star.

"I say Ruochu, you're not really going to take on this drama, are you?" Qi Yibin asked while driving the electric scooter.

Actually, taking the role is fine; fixing a few bugs and making some adjustments could still make it work. If it's the first performance, it probably won't be that smooth... right?

...

Very well, the scene instantly plunged into awkwardness.

"Let's see how it goes. If the script is well revised, I'll take it."

For Ji Ruochu, the mood regarding this play was extremely complex.

Honestly, if she hadn't received a better education, if her focus hadn't expanded beyond the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry, she would definitely have accepted this role.

These things have no threshold, easily achievable by everyone.

But seriousness, self-discipline, persistence, self-restraint...

These things require immense determination and patience.

Why study? Grades? Future?

No, it's for understanding.

Why self-discipline? Self-torture?

No, it's refining one's will on the basis of self-care.

Of course, such constraints might be challenging for teenagers, but Ji Ruochu... she was never truly a child.

Facing this unexpected life, she thought it had to be different, contribute something to society.

In the name of "Ji Ruochu."

As for what contribution to make...

"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind, and I won't mess things up."

Ji Ruochu's determined words echoed from her helmet.

Seeing this, the others ceased discussing the matter and started talking about the research and development team they met on the set today.

"You guys don't know, in that R&D team just now, there are some seniors from our prestigious universities, both Jingda and Qingda," Mi Siyu said proudly.

"You know that?"

"Of course! Do you even know who I am? I'm from the Foreign Language Department, hello?"

"I think you're more of a gossip expert."

"Ming Chengle, believe it or not, I'll ride my e-scooter and run you over!"

"And then you both end up as casualties?"

"Get lost!"

"Get lost!"

"Hahaha!!"

...

Under the setting sun, a group of young boys and girls leisurely rode the electric scooters scattered along the roadside, teasing each other with laughter, creating a harmonious scene.
