From Su Lingxi's perspective, the script is detailed, spending a lot of space describing the ups and downs of family, gender relations and personal destiny. It also deeply portrays a series of complex emotional ties between the two heroines, such as attachment, imitation, jealousy... While being meticulous, it also uses first-person narration to make people fully empathize.

There is no need for too much explanation, "Spring Trees and Evening Clouds" is a script of absolutely top-notch quality.

The only thing that made her hesitate was that the play required her to play the protagonist from the age of fifteen to middle-aged, and in order to present the picture, she might have to deliberately put on old makeup in the end.

As we all know, for actresses, downplaying the sense of age is a common consensus among everyone. If there are other options, no one will choose to play the role of "mother with children" - even actresses of some age are no exception.

There are a lot of young actresses like Su Lingxi who are in their early twenties and are still playing the role of high school students. No one will adopt the acting strategy of "playing old".

If Su Lingxi chooses to take on the role of Hu Yueyun, then finding a way to avoid the audience's stereotyped perception of her will be the key issue she must face.

Will people change their view of her because of this role, thinking that she is a 22-year-old girl who already has a sense of age? And will it make it difficult for her to empathize with other male stars of the same age in the future?

Obviously, this is another multiple-choice question that requires her to make a choice.

No one has the ability to predict the future, and no one knows what will happen after making a decision.

But Su Lingxi was sure that she liked the role of Ayun.

The fact that this script was sent to her after going through several rounds of screening shows that other people in the team also think that this role has both advantages and disadvantages.

As to whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, it all depends on personal choice.

Su Lingxi thought carefully for an entire afternoon and finally decided to take on the script.

The reason is simple. First, she has never challenged the role of a period drama. This kind of period drama that is open to the general audience regardless of circle and age is very helpful for her to increase her popularity and expand her drama repertoire. Second, because she likes this story - the temptations, traps and unequal deceptions that a woman experiences in society are all presented in the story.

It is undeniable that this story still has certain guiding significance for today's women.

Su Lingxi feels it is valuable to give back to fans through a work like this.

Perhaps because they had spent enough time together, Yang Qian was not at all surprised that she finally decided to take on the role. "See, I knew you would like this script."

"But considering the time, you should try to act in a serious drama. After all, you have always been reluctant to act in idol dramas." Yang Qian sighed on the other end of the phone. "There are not many roles in the domestic entertainment industry that can give actresses so much room to play. If you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again."

"What a coincidence, I thought exactly the same as you." Su Lingxi smiled and asked about the project arrangements. "I see this is Penguin Video's S+ project. Have they mentioned when they plan to officially start it?"

"It may have to wait until Q4 at the earliest. I've asked before, and now the team is only half assembled. The other female lead hasn't been decided yet, and all the people who were originally invited have declined." Yang Qian said in a deep voice.

When Su Lingxi heard this answer, she was surprised but not so surprised.

Compared to Ayun, the character of Ashu is more like a control group who keeps trying to escape her fate but keeps failing. She studies, is forced to drop out of school, gets married, cheats, gets divorced... Ashu has fallen from being a popular queen in the small town to the bottom of society. At the age of less than 25, she has experienced a life like a roller coaster.

Although at the end of the story she regained people's respect and fame with her career success and became a powerful figure "from the big city" in the eyes of the people in the small town, but at first glance, if she wants to play the role of Ashu, she has to face more challenging scenes, which is not easy for a young actress.

The two scenes of dropping out of school at a young age and having an extramarital affair are enough to stir up a bloody storm in online public opinion. If the actor herself is a small star with her own traffic, the controversy will be even more heated and it is entirely possible that she will be criticized by the audience.

"According to the crew's idea, they must want to find a double-traffic actress to carry the ratings. They want to broadcast it online and on satellite TV simultaneously. If the data is too bad, they will have a hard time explaining it." Yang Qian continued to explain on the other end of the phone: "Now that you have taken over Hu Yueyun, the actor who plays Zhou Qingshu cannot be too different from you in age, otherwise the audience will be distracted and it will be more difficult for the production team."

Su Lingxi thought for a moment, "Actually, it doesn't have to be a double-popular star to be able to play this role, right? I think the actor who plays Zhou Qingshu needs acting skills the most, and we can find other ways to attract more topics."

Due to the limitations of the subject matter, TV dramas with two female protagonists and no male protagonist naturally lose the audience who love to watch idol dramas and sweet pet dramas from the very beginning. If they cannot create a hot topic before the broadcast to attract more audiences, they may not be able to gain high ratings and good online broadcast results relying solely on quality.

"Okay, I'll pass on your opinion." Yang Qian flipped through the schedule in her hand. "There aren't many schedules for the next few months. Apart from the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, there are only the graduation drama in July and some magazine advertisements. Before the filming of Spring Trees and Evening Clouds starts, should we try to get in touch with a few more film projects?"

"There are still several months until Q4, so we have plenty of time to take on another movie."

Su Lingxi thought for a few seconds and asked her, "Do you have any good projects in mind at this stage?"

"There is indeed a good script. I think it is very suitable for you." Yang Qian said thoughtfully, "It is a new play directed by Cao Yiping. The name of the movie is "Suspect". I sent you the script file a few days ago. You should have read it, right?"

"Ah, you mean the suspense-themed book?" Su Lingxi quickly remembered, but frowned slightly, "But don't you think the character of the heroine in it is a bit... like an immature version of Ayane? In comparison, the character of Ayane has more room for development."
