Chapter 498 Director Qi\'s Proposal
With a sense of excitement building within him, Director Qi\'s eyes lit up with an idea, and he began to approach the pair.
With Yu Weilan\'s injury, they needed a quick replacement to continue with the scene, and Andromeda\'s impromptu performance sparked an idea.
He greeted Liu Xueyi with a nod and a smile before turning his attention to Andromeda. "Impressive," he commented, his voice tinged with enthusiasm.
Andromeda turned to see the director addressing her, and she couldn\'t help but feel a rush of nerves. She hadn\'t expected anyone to take notice of her playful antics, let alone the director himself.
Her heart raced as she wondered what Director Qi could possibly want from her.
"Thank you," she stammered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I was just having a bit of fun."
Director Qi Fuyi\'s eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint. "Well, that fun might come in handy," he said. "You see, we\'re in a bit of a tight spot. Yu Weilan, our third female lead, has injured her ankle and won\'t be able to continue filming for a while."
Andromeda\'s eyes widened in surprise. She had heard of accidents on movie sets, but she hadn\'t expected to witness one herself.
The director continued, "Your impromptu performance caught my attention, and I couldn\'t help but notice your resemblance to Yu Weilan, particularly in her dual personality act. Your natural hair colour, the blonde and your actions, are what we need."
"But… I did it out of fun. I am no actress, sir.," Andromeda stated, trying her best to run from this.
"Nonsense. That was remarkable, really. I have a proposal for you, Miss..."
"Andromeda, Andromeda Kia," she supplied, still trying to wrap her head around the unexpected turn of events.
"Miss Kai," Director Qi repeated with a nod of approval. "I\'d like to offer you a chance to step in and take on the role of the third female lead, at least until Yu Weilan recovers. You don\'t need to be a professional actress. Just give it a try. If you find it too challenging, we\'ll find another replacement. But I have a feeling you can handle it."
Andromeda\'s mind whirled with the enormity of the proposal. Acting in a movie, even temporarily, was a thrilling opportunity, but she couldn\'t shake her doubts.
Fashion was her calling and perhaps if that was what he was offering her, she would do it, be it as a model and sort but this.
"I appreciate the offer, Director Qi, but I\'ve never acted in a film before," she emphasized. "I\'m not sure if I can do it justice."
Director Qi Fuyi smiled warmly at her; his charisma evident in his every gesture.
"Miss Andromeda, sometimes the best actors are those who haven\'t been trained. You have a natural talent, and I believe you can bring something unique to this role. Plus, you have the support of our lead actor here." He gestured towards Liu Xueyi.
As much as Liu Xueyi did not want her life to get too worked up with her acting life, he wasn\'t one to let natural talent die.
Once he was approached in regards to Andromeda\'s acting and he denied it. However, after giving the proposal deep thought, he decided he would speak to her about it.
That was his plan for the new year for her. A chance to rise in all sectors. A change to have the world know her name.
Andromeda hesitated for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts and doubts. But she also knew that sometimes, life presented unexpected chances that could change everything.
Turning to Liu Xueyi, she sought his guidance with a pleading look. "What do you think, Liu Xueyi? Can I… should I do this?"
Liu Xueyi\'s warm smile never wavered as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Andromeda, I have complete faith in you. You\'re talented and capable, and I believe you can rise to the occasion. You can do it, Andy. Besides, it\'s a fantastic opportunity to experience something new," he encouraged. "I believe in you."
His words were like a lifeline, and Andromeda felt a surge of willpower.
She couldn\'t let her doubts hold her back from seizing this opportunity. It was golden and it was rare. Whether or not she did very well, she wished to do her best and give it a shot.
"Okay," she said, her voice more confident now. "I\'ll give it a try."
Director Qi Fuyi\'s eyes lit up with satisfaction. "That\'s the spirit! We\'ll make the necessary arrangements, and you can start by rehearsing the scenes," he immediately informed her.
Her face lit up, hearing this. It was great having someone eager to work with her.
"We\'ll take it one step at a time. Thank you for being so accommodating."
"Thanks," she said with a nod.
Coming closer, Liu Xueyi wrapped his right hand around her shoulders, silently stating his stance and ensuring Director Qi knew he shouldn\'t mess with his girlfriend.
"Also, she will need a manager. I will have my manager act as hers in the meantime."
"Sure. I will speak with him on that."
With that, Director Qi left the duo and began making the necessary arrangements.
"Congratulations love. It looks to me like you and I will get to see so much of each other while being busy," Liu Xueyi uttered from her side.
"So long as I get to be with you, it is worth it."
As they made arrangements for Andromeda\'s involvement in the film, Director Qi assured her that they would adjust her screen time while Yu Weilan recovered.
It was an unexpected turn of events, but Andromeda couldn\'t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the new challenge that awaited her.
As the cast and crew continued with their preparations, Andromeda couldn\'t shake the feeling that her life had taken a thrilling and unexpected turn and the days ahead would be filled with exhilarating experiences and newfound passions.
She was about to step into the world of acting, and with Liu Xueyi by her side, she felt like she could conquer any role that came her way.
But the slight chill of doubt still rang a bell in her ear.
