Ding Yue feared that Zhang Yu would be unwilling to take the part, and if that were the case, Ding Yue certainly couldn't force her.
Without her, the leading female role of Zhao Ling'er in "The Legend of Fairy Sword" would have no suitable actress, and the entire shooting of the series, even the whole project, might fall through.
After all, Ding Yue was not willing to settle for just anyone; it would be uncomfortable for him to cast an actress who did not embody the image and temperament of Zhao Ling'er's character.
The impression of "The Legend of Fairy Sword" from Earth's past life was too deep in Ding Yue's mind—the Zhao Ling'er portrayed by Liu Yifei had been indelible.
Zhang Yu was the person who could best fill the gap felt by Ding Yue; without her, unless Principal Ding found another girl who was similar to Liu Yifei, which seemed highly unlikely.
"Um, I... I'll think about it."
Zhang Yu did not refuse, nor did she accept.
