Although "Love Begins Here" was already mostly filmed, adding a special guest role was not difficult. With Ji Xizhi's status, adding any role wouldn't be a problem, right?
But Ji Xizhi still wanted to be an extra, which left Director Guan a bit stunned.
He knew about Ji Xizhi's current situation. Ji Xizhi had never acted in a film before, but recently refused Director Jin's offer for a lead role, which everyone online knew. Now acting as an extra in their crew felt worlds apart.
Director Guan cautiously asked again, "Teacher Ji, are you serious about this?"
"Being an extra in our crew might affect your future..."
Director Guan was being honest with Ji Xizhi. If she joined his crew as an extra, he would surely welcome her a hundred thousand times, but their lead roles were all newcomers, and with Ji Xizhi's status, uplifting newcomers might affect her future opportunities in film and television.
Especially if "Love Begins Here" doesn't end up doing well when it airs later.
