Chapter Seventy-Five: Get out of here, you plague star
"Me?" Tang Yuxi was a little surprised, he didn't expect the screenwriter to speak so directly.
The screenwriter smiled slightly at Tang Yuxi, and the smile on his face was very kind, similar to the kind smile of ordinary elders to juniors.
"I will choose Tang Yuxi, I believe everyone can guess one or two. But as a screenwriter, in order to let everyone know what I think, I still want to tell you my reasons. β
"The reason why we didn't re-select actors to take Xiao Yaya's position was because this was the next step. The change of actors will make the audience feel like they are dancing in the play, which will affect the viewing sense of the whole play, and the effect will be greatly reduced. As a screenwriter, "I Owe You a Lifetime of Love" is the most satisfying work I have written in more than 40 years, and I'm not sure if I can write such a work in the future, so! I'd rather change the script than have any flaws in it. β
"It may take some time to change the script, but I hope people believe in my ability and give me 10 days to start filming again." When the screenwriter said this, he looked at everyone firmly, and his soft eyes were full of confidence.
Everyone was silent, and Zhang Qing took the lead in saying: "I believe in you, it's not the first time I've cooperated with you, I believe that you can do it with what you can say." Anyway, we preemptively shot four episodes, and we have a month to wait for you to improve the script. β
The assistant director also echoed Zhang Qing's words, and loud and small echoing voices sounded in the room.
Tang Yuxi noticed that except for her and Jiang Li, who didn't speak, everyone else spoke. Jiang Yong and Wang Weicheng have an indifferent attitude, after all, they are the heroines, and they have nothing to do with their men. They only care about whether the shoot goes smoothly.
The screenwriter nodded to everyone and was about to sit down, and did not seem to explain why Tang Yuxi was chosen to take over as the female number one.
Jiang Li, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help but speak at this time. "Sister, can I ask you why you chose Tang Yuxi? I'm not worried about whether the script can be changed smoothly, and I don't have the idea of questioning your ability, I just want to know why you chose Tang Yuxi. β
The screenwriter went around in a circle but didn't say the reason for choosing Tang Yuxi, which made her very unconvinced. Even though she knew that the best choice for changing the protagonist was Tang Yuxi, Jiang Li still wanted to hear the screenwriter's explanation.
"Oh, didn't I say that?" The screenwriter laughed, as if he had a bad memory, and his tone was full of apologies. "I'm sorry, I've been forgetting things lately, and I don't have a good memory when I'm old."
"I chose Tang Yuxi for three reasons. First: Tang Yuxi's character design is very changeable, and I can save a lot of time. Second: Tang Yuxi's audience impression is very good, there are many people who like her, and I believe that changing her to the protagonist is the trend of public expectation. As for the third, it's because I personally like the role of the fox demon.,I put a lot of thought into the fox demon when I wrote the script.,Now change the fox demon to the heroine.,I think it's very simple.γ β
The first two reasons can be considered as explanations, and the third reason is definitely personal reasons.
It's just that the screenwriter's status in the crew is not low, and she is also a very influential person in the screenwriting industry, although her third reason cannot be established, no one refutes her.
Jiang Li said a little unwillingly: "Sister, if you change the female number two to the female number one, isn't this very challenging?" The second female is now a vicious female partner, if she is reversed, isn't it good? can also show your strength, sister, if you want the audience to like it, if you want the audience to hate it, you can hate it, how powerful is this. β
"I'm old, my memory is not good, and I don't like challenges." The screenwriter showed a somewhat meaningful smile, seeing through Jiang Li's thoughts, but did not pierce it. "I just want to finish this script now, and I don't want to think about the superfluous. The challenge is for you young people, and you don't have a chance to do it with old people like me. Tang Yuxi, are you willing to accept this challenge? β
was suddenly named, Tang Yuxi immediately adjusted his expression. She stood up and showed a decent smile to everyone, and said very modestly but very firmly: "I am very grateful to the screenwriter sister for giving me this opportunity, and thank you for your faith, I will work hard to act well and live up to everyone's expectations." Please also give me more guidance, and please give me advice if there is anything that is not in place. β
The screenwriter smiled with satisfaction, and Zhang Qing also stood up and made a decision with a wave of his hand. "Well, the person who takes over Xiao Yaya's position as the number one female is set to be Tang Yuxi!"
"I disagree!" A middle-aged man's dissatisfied voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the door of the conference room was immediately opened, and a middle-aged man with a beer belly walked in, followed by two hot female secretaries.
Zhang Qing immediately stepped forward, with a smile on his face. "Oh, Mr. Wang, you're here, please sit down."
"This is our second largest sponsor, Mr. Wang, come and say hello." Zhang Qing greeted everyone.
In the voice of 'Wang is always good', Wang Peng sat on the sofa. He nodded casually, and said straight to the point: "Xiao Yaya is my favorite, she is injured now, don't shoot this drama for now, and continue filming when Yaya is injured." I don't agree with the change of female number one. β
Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, now is the time when "I Owe You a Life" is on the air, if you stop and don't shoot at this time, you will definitely be scolded by the audience." When it was time to reshoot, the heat was not as high as it is now. β
"I don't know anything about the heat, so don't tell me that. Let's just say that you people are too ruthless, knowing that Yaya is injured and no one will go to see it, don't you have sympathy to discuss the change of the female lead at such a time? Wang Peng glared at Zhang Qing dissatisfied, his expression looked very girly, and he was very incompatible with the beer belly he was holding.
When Tang Yuxi saw Wang Peng, he thought of the scene of seeing the 'fat brother' that day. Especially when she heard Wang Peng say that he was Xiao Yaya, she frowned in disgust. I didn't expect a first-line star like Xiao Yaya to be raised by others, and even the role was praised by others.
Unspoken rules seem to have become a symbol of the entertainment industry, as long as people in the entertainment industry are mentioned, the word unspoken rules will come to mind. You can't fire without unspoken rules?!
She doesn't believe in evil!
Tang Yuxi lowered his head and hid the disgust in his eyes, but he didn't expect that after Wang Peng finished saying that, he directly focused his attention on Tang Yuxi.
"This is Tang Yuxi, the one who wants to replace Yaya? It's good-looking, come and let me have a look. Wang Peng patted the armrest of the sofa and teased Tang Yuxi in front of everyone.
Tang Yuxi still lowered his head as if he hadn't heard it. She is now just a young actor who has just squeezed into the second-tier position, and she can't afford to offend investors. But to get her to obey Wang Peng's words, that is impossible.
Tang Yuxi did not impulsively scold Wang Peng or sarcastically mock Wang Peng, but he did not respond to him.
Everyone didn't speak, for fear of offending Wang Peng if they couldn't say it well, only Zhang Qing and the assistant director who knew Tang Yuxi's backstage were in a hurry.
Zhang Qing hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, where did you say, Yaya was injured, and all of us were very worried. No one expected Yaya to be injured suddenly, and we also called to ask, but Yaya was undergoing surgery and it was inconvenient to answer the phone. We're going to go and see Yaya when we're done with this matter. You're here just in time, why don't we go together? β
"You must go, after all, Yaya and I have a different relationship. But now there is no hurry, she must have fallen asleep just after the operation, and she can't see her when she goes. Wang Peng said, shaking his head helplessly. Who is that, Tang Yuxi! I called you, didn't you hear? β
This time, Wang Peng's voice was much louder, and his voice was also raised.
Tang Yuxi sighed in his heart, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Hello Mr. Wang, you called me?" β
"Well, come over and let me see." Wang Peng beckoned, with a casual attitude as if summoning a pet.
Tang Yuxi's eyes flashed with disgust, but a sweet smile appeared on his face. Mr. Wang...... Ahem...... ThatγI'm sorry Mr. Wang, cough cough...... I've got a cold, I'm afraid to infect you......"
"Hey! Are you kidding me, girl? You didn't cough after I've been in the door for so long, why did you cough as soon as I called you over? Wang Peng frowned, and involuntarily put on a look of disgust.
Tang Yuxi coughed vigorously twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry Mr. Wang...... Ahem...... I have a respiratory infection...... Ahem...... It's okay if you don't speak, but when you speak, you can't help coughing...... Ahem, ahem......"
Tang Yuxi coughed vigorously, his little face was red, as if he was very uncomfortable. It's just a pair of bright eyes that have been staring at Wang Peng, observing his reaction.
She has just carefully observed that Wang Peng's demeanor is a little 'mother', and his tone is not as confident as that of ordinary men, and even his little fingers will be cocked when he speaks, looking like a 'sissy'.
Generally, such people will have a habit of cleanliness and will dislike sick people more than ordinary people, so Tang Yuxi made up his mind to try.
Sure enough, when he saw that Tang Yuxi was coughing badly, Wang Peng immediately waved his hand. "What a man! Get the plague! Hurry up and get her out of here! Don't let her infect me! β
"Get her out of the crew! I'm not going to let you use her for filming! Disgusting to death! Wang Peng pushed Zhang Qing with his hand, and his movements were very strong.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, Yuxi just has a cold, and it will be fine in a few days......"
"No! Get me out of here! Don't use her for filming! The plague will infect everyone! It's going to ruin this drama of mine, get me out! Wang Peng's attitude was very resolute.
Tang Yuxi was dumbfounded, he never thought that Wang Peng's reaction would be so fierce. Pestilence...... How dare you say it......
"What are you doing! Hurry up and get me out! Can you afford to ruin my show?! Get out of here! Get out! Get out of here, you plague star! Seeing that no one was moving, Wang Peng pointed at Tang Yuxi and scolded, shouting in a sharp voice, which shocked Tang Yuxi's ears and hurt.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became calm, and no one expected that things would turn out like this.
Tang Yuxi smiled wryly, and his face was full of stunned expressions.
Zhang Qing hesitated and whispered, "Yuxi, why don't you go out first?" I advise Mr. Wang? β
"I seem to have heard something very remarkable, who is going to explain to me what 'my play' is? When did the owner of the play change hands? Why don't I, the biggest investor, know. β
A clear and cold voice suddenly sounded, and the indifferent tone did not fluctuate too much, but was full of mockery.
Tang Yuxi turned his head a little stiffly, and found that Si Yu was standing at the door at some point.
