Personally overseeing this crucial event is a unique favor that Jingjiu bestows upon Tang Li.

Even her plane ticket was booked by Jingjiu.

However, the flight was delayed due to the extreme weather.

Jingjiu sent an assistant to pick up Tang Li. When they arrived at Ganling Film City, it was already 4 p.m. Snowflakes were falling heavily, and the temperature had dropped to minus nine degrees Celsius.

The entire crew was waiting for her.

Zhou Qiao could have finished work and left much earlier, but when she heard that the original author would be coming, she found herself, having already immersed herself in the story after filming for so long, sitting in the RV to wait for him, which was quite unusual for her.

As a three-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress, she was originally there to save the day with this script.

Unexpectedly, after more than two months of filming, Zhou Qiao accompanied the female lead through her experiences and growth, and even spent time reading the entire book overnight, which deeply moved her.

Since she was waiting willingly, Zhou Qiao naturally had no complaints.

On the contrary, Lin Yiyun, who had already finished her makeup, was very angry. She booked the latest flight of the day to Lucheng. The first thing she would do after filming wrapped up was not to go back to Tanzhou to see Huo Chenyu, but to go to Lucheng, a warm city with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, to feel the scorching sun.

Given the current situation, I have no choice but to reschedule my flight.

She tried to find the original author but failed. She has always felt resentful about this, believing that the original author knew that she had drastically changed the second female lead's scenes and therefore felt guilty and deliberately avoided her.

Time ticked by, and Lin Yiyun, in her bad temper, sent her assistant to the set several times.

Tang Li was still stuck in traffic.

The assistant director was getting impatient, but fortunately Jing Jiu was in control. As one of the investors, the assistant director had to give Jing Jiu face.

But the director remained calm and played his game, seemingly unconcerned about how late Tang Li was.

Finally, Jingjiu received a call from his assistant saying that he had gotten off the train and was almost at the door.

Having kept the entire crew waiting for most of the day, Jingjiu felt a little embarrassed and went to invite the director with hot tea.

"The original author has arrived; he's at the door."

The director gestured for her to put down the hot tea, then said to the person playing the game with him:

"I have to get down to business after this game. Don't forget you owe me a meal."

The person on the other end of the game readily agreed.

The timing was perfect.

When Tang Li entered, the director had just won the round.

Jingjiu greeted them with a smile and gave an introduction:

"Director Chen, this is the author of the original novel 'The Female General,' Tangli Banyu."

Director Chen placed his phone on the table, looked Tang Li up and down, and after several seconds, nodded slightly.

"I've heard so much about you. You're very talented, and he has great taste."

At first glance, Tang Li thought Director Chen was praising the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, so he didn't pay much attention.

Jingjiu also misunderstood, teasing Tang Li:

"When I first started reading that book, readers were discussing in the comments who would be most suitable to play the female lead. There were many different opinions until I met Tang Li in person. I was immediately struck by her beauty. Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to play the role."

Tang Li hurriedly waved his hand:

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. You can never earn money beyond what you know."

Director Chen praised Tang Li again, but Jingjiu felt something was off about his praise.

Fortunately, she trusted Director Chen enough to accept his character; otherwise, she would have really thought that Director Chen had taken a liking to Tang Li and wanted to take advantage of her.

After some pleasantries, Director Chen called out:

"Go and ask the second female lead. Let's finish filming as soon as possible and go home. This weather is just too cold."

Lin Yiyun was resting in the RV when she had a nightmare the moment she closed her eyes.

She was woken up by fright.

As soon as she opened her eyes, her assistant reached out to pat her.

"Sister Yun, the film set is ready, and the original author has arrived."

Lin Yiyun yawned lazily and slowly sat up.

The assistant urged from the side:

"Director Chen has already sent someone to invite you, Sister Yun. Let's hurry over and finish filming as soon as possible so we can catch our flight tonight."

If you can get it right in one go, that's fine.

Lin Yiyun glared at her:

"What's the rush? She's already made me wait this long, can't I make them wait a little longer?"

The assistant didn't dare say anything more, and just silently helped her tidy her clothes.

Thankfully, the agent arrived and brought news:

"I didn't expect the original author to be so tall and beautiful. She's talking to Director Chen right now."

pretty?

How beautiful can it be?

Lin Yiyun was unimpressed, and her assistant, also trying to flatter her, scoffed:

"No matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to Sister Yun. There are several scenes where even Zhou Qiao can't outshine Sister Yun's beauty."

For an ordinary person to be able to give people a stunning first impression is already quite beautiful.

Not wanting to spoil Lin Yiyun's mood, the agent went along with what the assistant said:

"Of course, our Xiaoyun is unparalleled in beauty, no one in ancient costume dramas can match her."

Each of them praised her, making Lin Yiyun overjoyed.

All the previous resentment dissipated. After leaving the RV, the agent repeatedly reminded them:

"Xiaoyun, don't act like a diva later. Zhou Qiao hasn't left yet. I heard he's waiting to meet the original author. Even the director is being very friendly. I wonder what kind of background this original author has. Anyway, as always, when the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is unclear, we shouldn't cause trouble."

Over the past two months, Lin Yiyun has made her assistant cry countless times.

Every time she felt frustrated in a drama, she would vent her frustrations to someone in real life.

To coax her into finishing filming the movie, her agent did a lot of cleaning up her messes.

Lin Yiyun said impatiently:

"I know, you've been nagging me about this for over two months now. Aren't you tired of it? My ears are practically calloused. After tonight, I don't care what the entertainment industry does. I'm not putting up with this anymore."

After retiring from acting, all she wanted was to be the high and mighty Mrs. Huo.

I never want to live a life where I seem glamorous in front of others but suffer all kinds of mistreatment behind their backs again.

The agent nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Upon arriving at the film set, Lin Yiyun immediately spotted Zhou Qiao asking the original author for an autograph. Tang Li was facing away from Lin Yiyun, and because it was cold and she was wearing many layers of clothing, she was surprised to see Zhou Qiao.

Lin Yiyun did not recognize that it was Tang Lilai.

As they approached, they heard Tang Li say with a smile:

"My best friend is your fan. Could you please sign an autograph for her? I'll bring the autographed photo to her when I get back."

Ever since Zhou Qiao played the female lead in "Tang Li Shu", Tang Sui has become an unstoppable fan of hers.

Zhou Qiao agreed and readily signed her name.

I happened to see Lin Yiyun arrive at the film set, so I said in a very casual manner:

"The main character of tonight's show has arrived."

Tang Li turned around in response, just as Lin Yiyun approached. The two looked at each other, and Lin Yiyun froze instantly.
