"As we're talking about this," Tang Li said, fearing that Wu Xuehan would be railroaded into the role, "the character is endearing, but there are obvious downsides. You'll be disheveled in almost every scene. By the time the movie is released, the audience might go through the entire film without seeing your face. Most importantly, you need to be prepared to be typecast."
Especially for female artists, taking on the "fool" roles is always a careful consideration.
If male actors play a fool and do it well, at worst, they can choose to become comedians. But in the industry, it's a struggle to name even a handful of famous female comedians.
Wu Xuehan is not even 20. If she gets typecast as a comedian, her prospects for future roles will only get narrower.
After all, in her previous life, Wu Xuehan's debut role was very likable.
Even though she wasn't the main character, she was still dearly loved by the audience.
