The screenwriter of "Imperially Granted Constable" is Qin Miaoyin, a very young woman.
Because the storyline of this drama received a lot of praise, some media reached out to Qin Miaoyin for an interview, also to ride on the wave of hype.
Inevitably, the conversation turned to the issue of the actors' performances.
The interviewer asked quite a tricky question, directly saying, "Everyone is praising your script as particularly good, a rare gem among domestic dramas in recent years, yet you recruited a bunch of actors with particularly bad acting skills as leads, do you feel it's a pity?"
Qin Miaoyin countered, "What do you mean by pity?"
"Well, you worked so hard to write such a good script, but didn't have good actors to portray the characters you wrote. Otherwise, this drama might have been even better, right?"
Qin Miaoyin shook her head and said, "Those good actors you mentioned, not a single one was interested in my script."
The interviewer was dumbfounded.
