After Rebirth, I Become Popular in the Entertainment Industry - CH 25

Cheng Feng frowned, but because she was the female lead, she asked patiently, “Which?”

Xu Sijia immediately handed her the script, “I used the orange marker to draw these, I think they can be changed. Fu Yongsi and Yu Xiaoliu are lovers, so they should have the most rival scenes and have the most experiences together, but Yu Xiaoliu didn’t appear in many scenes that could appear. For example, these are all about Fu Yongsi and Sheng Feiguang. Isn’t this invisibly weakening Yu Xiaoliu’s female lead status?”

Cheng Feng looked at the part she marked and said helplessly, “In addition to the romance line, there is also the apprenticeship line in this play. It is precise because Sheng Feiguang and Fu Yongsi have experienced a lot together, so they will treat each other and take it to heart. That’s why Sheng Feiguang will die for Fu Yongsi in the end. If this is changed, the emotional lines of the next two people will not make sense and Sheng Feiguang’s character charm will be greatly reduced.”

Xu Sijia smiled and said, “It’s not that everything needs to be changed. We still have a lot of their rival scenes and didn’t say that they need to be changed. I just said that we can change the ones I drew and changed them to Fu Yongsi and Yu Xiaoliu. In this way, it can also improve the emotional line of the male and female lead, right?”

“The emotional line of the male and female lead has been perfected.”

“Which audience would think that the male and female lead has a rich emotional line? As long as it is the role of the male and female lead, there can be no more.”

Cheng Feng: ……

Cheng Feng refused, “I don’t think this is necessary.”

Xu Sijia took a step back, “Then add me to the leadership positions. I said that you don’t want to replace me. Let’s add me to the leadership positions.” (总行, umm, it actually meant “head office” but it seems not right…)

“Fu Yongsi and Sheng Feiguang’s apprenticeship line remains the same, and at the same time, they can improve the emotional line with Yu Xiaoliu. You can kill two birds with one stone. You shouldn’t object to it.”

Cheng Feng was still unwilling, but Xu Sijia had taken a step back. She was the female lead and she refused all the time. If Xu Sijia was unhappy and didn’t cooperate with the shooting, in the end, the producer would criticize and educate her.

The status of domestic screenwriters was really not high. Even many male and female lead groups brought a screenwriter each so that they could add the scenes at any time. If it wasn’t for Shan Qikun as the male lead in their play and Shan Qikun didn’t bring a screenwriter into the group, Cheng Feng had no doubt that Xu Sijia would bring herself a screenwriter.

She smiled and said calmly, “I can’t decide this. Teacher Xu, if you really want to add it, you have to tell Director Wang that, it is best to communicate with Teacher Shan. After all, this is his part.”

She didn’t mention Tang Ziyou because Xu Sijia’s coffee position was bigger than Tang Ziyou. If she asked her to find Tang Ziyou, she accidentally caused Tang Ziyou to be in a dilemma.

She agreed to add the scene, which was unfair to Tang Ziyou.

She disagreed to add the scene, Tang Ziyou was bound to offend Xu Sijia.

So she chose to hand over the matter to Director Wang and Shan Qikun, who would play against Xu Sijia.

Xu Sijia obviously also expected this result, “Okay, but I hope that Teacher Cheng can cooperate with me by then.”

Cheng Feng still looks unmoved, “I cooperate with every good suggestion for this play.”

Xu Sijia thought that of course, she was doing this for the good of the play. She was a popular little flower and had good ratings. With her appearing, she would naturally make no loss. So she went to the director and talked about it.

After listening to her, Director Wang naturally refused.

However, Xu Sijia’s agent didn’t follow, “Director Wang, our Jiajia isn’t a magician who can change the script. Isn’t this just adding hers? What’s wrong with that? It’s just fine if the lines are redistributed. Jiajia is the female lead. Don’t you give us some face?”

Having said that, Director Wang was also embarrassed.

Adding it, it wasn’t appropriate.

Not adding it, the other party was the female lead and the shooting had just started. If Xu Sijia slowed down the progress, it was the crew that compromised in the end.

There were actually a lot of things like this in this circle. A few days ago, he saw a director in the group scolding the lead actor of his crew for attempting to change the script and failed, so he threatened to stop filming. The fans didn’t know it, so they scolded the crew for him on Weibo every day. His sisters asked for justice, and in the end, it was the crew who compromised.

At that time, Director Wang was still fortunate. Fortunately, he didn’t meet him. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, Xu Sijia stood up.

“Let me ask A Kun,” he said.

“Why don’t you ask Tang Ziyou?” Xu Sijia suggested.

Director Wang looked at her in surprise and Xu Sijia smiled, “He is the party involved, so he should be asked, right?”

Saying that, but Tang Ziyou’s right to speak in front of Xu Sijia was nothing but a fuss.

“Forget it.” Director Wang refused, “It mainly depends on A Kun’s attitude.”

Xu Sijia didn’t insist on seeing this, but she had some worries in her heart.

Shan Qikun received the call and went to the meeting room.

There weren’t many people in the room, only Director Wang, Cheng Feng, Xu Sijia, and Xu Sijia’s agent.

Seeing him come in, everyone turned their eyes to him.

Director Wang briefly stated Xu Sijia’s request and Shan Qikun said directly, “Impossible.”

His attitude was very firm, “I don’t like to modify the script easily, especially this kind of meaningless modification, so this is impossible.”

“We just want to appropriately increase the role of the female lead. After all, as the female lead, our Jiajia doesn’t have many roles.” Xu Sijia’s agent said.

“That’s because this is not the leading actress in itself.” Shan Qikun retorted, “This drama is based on Fu Yongsi’s perspective from the beginning, so the relevant characters are also centred on him. If you want her to play more scenes, you should give her a female lead as the main focus of the drama instead of wanting to add the scene now.”

Xu Sijia’s agent showed an awkward look, “It’s just a few more scenes.”

Shan Qikun was resolute, “This is not a matter of a few scenes. This matter has started, maybe tomorrow Xu Wangyang wants to add the scene and Xiang Rongrong wants to add the scene the day after tomorrow. Who doesn’t want to have more scenes? The audience won’t scold you because you’re not the centre of this play. The audience will only scold me. I played such a thing in my first TV series. When the time comes, will you pay for my reputation?”

He looked at Xu Sijia, “If you really feel wronged, you can terminate the contract with the crew. While this play has just been shot, you haven’t shot much. It’s convenient for me to contact other people to save the scene.”

Xu Sijia never expected that he would say this. She felt a little sad for a while, “I didn’t want to cancel the contract either.”

“Then make a good film, don’t think about this mess.”

Shan Qikun finished speaking and left the meeting room.

Xu Sijia looked at his back, filled with grievances.

What did she do for? Wasn’t she trying to get along with him more? If he hadn’t ignored her every time he played with Tang Ziyou, how could she make such a move?

Xu Sijia stood up in shame and walked out, preparing to go back to the hotel to rest. As a result, as soon as she arrived at the elevator entrance of the hotel, she ran into Tang Ziyou.

She looked at Tang Ziyou, her heart was full of anger, “Hold his thigh as soon as you enter the group, you are very smart.”

Tang Ziyou looked dazed, “What do you mean by that, Sister Xu?”

“What do I mean? I mean you stay away from Shan Qikun. What kind of position you are in? Don’t you think it’s ugly as the eighteenth line to hold his thigh?”

Tang Ziyou didn’t understand why he was holding Shan Qikun’s thigh at all, “I don’t.”

“No? Isn’t it you who has been pestering him every day for the past two days? Tang Ziyou, if you dare to do it, you must be daring. Don’t look like a bitch. Are you selling green tea?” (绿茶婊, meant green tea bitch, a woman (or person) who is pure on the surface and has a better scheming than anyone else)

Tang Ziyou was speechless, “I and Brother Shan are just talking to each other, you know.”

“What do I know? I just know that if you really don’t have this kind of thought, you should stay away from him. You catch him alone by yourself every day. You’re so good.”

“That’s because…”

Xu Sijia obviously didn’t want to listen to his explanation. Seeing the elevator come down, the elevator door opened and there was no one, she walked in directly.

“I tell you, stay away from him.”

After Xu Sijia finished speaking, she pressed the floor and glared at Tang Ziyou.

Tang Ziyou was helpless. He reached out and pressed the elevator button to prevent the elevator door from closing. Finally, he explained, “We are just working and communicating. In this drama, I play with him the most, so I have the longest time talking to him. Sister Xu, you really misunderstood.”

Xu Sijia sneered, “Let go.”

Tang Ziyou put his hand away, watching the elevator door slowly close. His heart was full of doubts.

What did Xu Sijia mean? Was it the ghost of Xiang Rongrong again? Or was she dissatisfied with him because she liked Shan Qikun?

He thought for a while, decided to stay still, and observe Xiang Rongrong to see if it was related to her.

If I was Shan Qikun, I would rather say straight forwardly from the beginning, “You should know your place. Because this drama isn’t yours. You’re just a female lead here. And don’t think selfishly because every actor also wants more scenes for themselves. It’s called greedy and not very professionalism.”

See you in the next chap! (~‾▿‾)~
