CGTV’s triennial Golden Crown Goddess?
A major individual honor award selected based on the appearance, popularity, social influence, and reputation of works of trending female stars in the entertainment industry over the past three years, as determined by mainstream domestic media and voted by all fans.
The winner not only receives the Golden Crown trophy but also earns the title of Golden Crown Goddess. On the day of the awards gala, she attends the opening ceremony wearing the glamorous Golden Crown Battle Robe. This is an unparalleled honor and temptation for all female stars in the industry.
Becoming the Golden Crown Goddess is tantamount to establishing an unshakable status in the entertainment industry. The past winners of this award have all been veteran actresses with a combination of acting skills, popularity, and beauty. The most important factor for obtaining this honor is having breakout works that go viral.
No wonder Le Hui and Cheng Peihan have turned from secret feuds to open competition for the lead role in this series, willing to tear off the facade. In recent years, the female star traffic in the industry has been sluggish. The Four Young Leading Actresses are the hottest, but they mostly maintain their popularity through variety shows and scandals. Such traffic can’t last long, only by obtaining the crown of the Golden Crown Goddess can they ensure their standing remains unshakeable in the industry.
Ye Xian: "Alright then, let me take a look at the script first."
"Okay!" Jiang Wen happily promised, "I found a script that matches your personality, the character fit is ninety-nine percent, guaranteed satisfaction!"
Found one that matches her personality?
Then it must be a role of noble character, graceful demeanor, lofty aspirations, and indomitable spirit!
Ye Xian happily opened the script, only to see the character introduction she was to play: Xiao Jingche, the first playboy of the Wenqing Dynasty’s Forbidden City, born with an androgynous and seductive face, debauched and indulgent, lazy and unambitious, spending days engrossed in brothels with no thought of progress...
Ye Xian’s face darkened upon reading this, grinding her teeth she sent a question mark to Jiang Wen.
Character fit at ninety-nine percent?
Jiang Wen: Doesn’t fit? Keep reading, I think it’s super suitable for you. Only you can bring out this sense of romance and charm. Previously, Jiang Wanze was interested in this script, but the director thought his image was too upright and tactfully declined. When I mentioned you, the director nodded like a chicken pecking at rice!
Ye Xian’s mouth twitched, "..." She felt that the public’s perception of her and her self-assessment seemed a bit off.
Wait, does the CEO think the same?
She stared at the words ’debauched and indulgent, playboy’ and fell into deep thought, but as she continued reading, she found surprises.
Although Xiao Jingche was a frivolous and unrestrained playboy, he was also immensely talented and incredibly lucky. Master of poetry, chess, calligraphy, and painting, he could drunkenly utter an immortal poem, eavesdrop on his imperial elder brother and younger brother’s rebellious plots while in the toilet, and during a brothel visit, meet a severely injured, highly talented wolf boy who later became his trusted general. When he went sightseeing, he discovered a treasure map...
He was practically a walking good luck charm. In short, this was a feel-good story where brothers, subordinates, buddies, and women all willingly rallied around him to live and die for him, forge a vast empire, and extend his lineage.
The plot was cleverly conceived, full of twists and turns, and hilariously amusing. It captivates readers until they’re hopelessly immersed.
She had never played such an amusing character transitioning from a lazybones to a dragon, and was quite interested. Moreover, the show had top-tier resources, from the director, screenwriter, producer to the costume and makeup team. The most crucial part was that the entire series was mainly focused on Xiao Jingche and his group of military advisors. The female lead and supporting characters’ roles were minimal and merely functional. Hence, whether Le Hui or Cheng Peihan acted well wasn’t that important as long as their appearance didn’t collapse.
Additionally, Xiao Jingche eventually became emperor, fulfilling the fans’ long-held regret that Shen Jinyou never ascended to the throne.
[Whoa, that description hits the spot! But Brother Ye can’t be in love, if he were, it could only be with me]
[What dating? Brother Ye belongs to Ye’s Fans! No one can take that away!]
[Brother Ye is only 18 this year, boys change when they hit twenty, getting more handsome as they go, what does that have to do with dating?]
[Yes yes yes, Brother Ye definitely won’t fall in love, he’s not that kind of person! Brother Ye always belongs to the green leaves!]
Ye Xian blinked at the hundreds of thousands of comments that flooded in, pulling her collar higher, feeling guilty, ashamed, and scared.
...Your Brother Ye is indeed that kind of person, if the collar wasn’t pulled up, Weibo would blow up
Jiang Wen notified the production team that Ye Xian was confirmed to play the male lead in ’Imperial Power.’ The team, fearing Ye Xian might change her mind, eagerly announced the news immediately. The Weibo post hit trending topics with billions of views, and the comments were overwhelmingly positive. After hearing the news, Le Hui and Cheng Peihan’s teams hurriedly increased contact with the production team.
The production team was torn between the two for a while. Firstly, their looks, popularity, and acting skills were neck and neck, and secondly, both were keen, almost to the point of proposing to shoot for free. Rejecting either team felt unjust.
So, the producer suggested a win-win method where both would participate!
After all, ’Imperial Power’ is a big male lead show centered around Xiao Jingche, with romance not taking much weight, and there really isn’t a defined female lead. Among the members of Xiao Jingche’s harem, whoever acted brilliantly and was popular would be the audience’s ideal female lead.
