After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 794
Chapter 794: The Ji Family Hyping Things Up, She Couldn’t Compare to Si Fuqing No Matter What (3)
[Si Fuqing]: Thanks, and thank your grandfather for me too.
[JI Xingzhi]: No need to thank me, it’s nothing.
Sang Yanqing also spoke up, “Even though you were a last-minute replacement and didn’t have a main role in ‘Seeking the Lost,’ the reviews online are very positive. Your fans are eagerly anticipating your next movie.”
‘Seeking the Lost’ was released today, and its first-day box office earnings exceeded the crew’s expectations.
It could be said that Si Fuqing single-handedly boosted the box office numbers.
However, since it wasn’t a comedy or a feel-good film, ‘Seeking the Lost’ didn’t attract as many viewers as other New Year’s releases.
Online, there was also much discussion about the LI family losing their heir.
[Wow, who would’ve thought Si Fuqing could act so well in modern dramas too? Her emotional scenes are incredible, and she holds her own against Queen Tao.]
[Can you believe Si Fuqing was a last-minute replacement? They say she nailed it in one take. She’s born to act!]
[Ahhhhhh, the studio says they’re about to announce her next drama. Can’t wait for the new project!]
[Not just the actors, this movie made me cry. The mother in the film had it so hard, searching for her child for over twenty years, then finding them just as they were about to commit suicide. Thankfully, it had a happy ending.]
[The story is based on the LI family’s case. But after all this time, there might really be no hope left.]
[Praying that the LI family can find their child.]
Si Fuqing stretched after reading the comments. “I need to prepare for ‘The Nation’s Heroine’ audition.”
“Prepare well. The role of JIANG Zhaoyue is extremely challenging, especially since she was a real historical heroine,” Sang Yanqing said seriously. “Today, [Show Title] called again. I still turned them down for you.”
Si Fuqing made an OK gesture. “I might get some inspiration after meeting the real person. No rush.”
Sang Yanqing: “…?”
What did she mean by meeting the real person?
In her dreams?
Her artist was becoming more and more unusual.

Meanwhile, at the production crew that had been turned down.
“Rejected?” The producer paused, frowning. “Didn’t you tell her this drama is specifically crafted for the Cloud Award and the International TV Awards?”
Whether it was the Great Xia Empire’s xianxia dramas or the Western Continent’s magical shows, they were not award-winning material.
None of the Cloud Award winners had ever contained supernatural elements.
Moreover, reality dramas were more common, mostly telling stories of ordinary people struggling against their fate.
The producer and director had collaborated multiple times and had won several Cloud Awards.
Compared to the Cloud Awards, the Golden Flower Awards and Harmonious Awards seemed less significant.
Originally, Si Fuqing wasn’t on their invitation list, but the massive success of ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ both domestically and abroad proved she was a dark horse.
The producer had decisively sent the script to Si Fuqing before the New Year.
The director sighed, “I told her, but she still refused.”
“If she doesn’t want it, then she doesn’t want it,” the producer was also slightly agitated. “After one successful drama, she’s gotten so full of herself that she doesn’t even care about the Cloud Awards. She’s not going to last long with that attitude.”
The director’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled. “Actually, she doesn’t fit the female lead’s character. ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was fantasy. Making her act in a reality drama—she won’t be able to pull it off.”
The producer said coolly, “She’s quite self-aware. Isn’t she 19 this year? Still in her third year of high school. At her age, others are in college already. She’s been out of school for so long. Whether she can even get into college is uncertain.”
The female lead was a top student who emerged from a poor, male-preferential family, changing her fate with her own efforts.
Without such an academic background, how could Si Fuqing portray this role?
