Chapter 94 The Fake Daughter Who Brings Money into the Group

Jiang Ning ate a melon at home and received many gifts from the Guo family, but she didn't feel comfortable for long before she was called back by the crew of "Kwaidan Escape Rules" to reshoot scenes.

Because most platforms have to schedule mission dramas in the second half of the year, "Kwaidan" wants to take advantage of the opportunity to release the drama before it is released. It is now filming and editing at the same time. If anything happens, the actors can be arranged to reshoot and try not to delay the actors' other schedules.

Jiang Ning got in the nanny car and came to the crew. The crew was filming a big drama. The main characters and the ghost story were all there. Although it looked a bit silly in the studio, it would be much better with the special effects added in the later stage.

After finishing her makeup in the dressing room, Jiang Ning came out again. The scene was also finished. Lin Mian walked over as soon as he saw her.

"Come over for the reshoot?"

"Uh-huh, what about you guys? Are you going to change the scene?"

The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so Lin Mian was not so restrained towards Jiang Ning. He poured a cup of scented tea that he had prepared for Jiang Ning and nodded.

"We're going to move to another location after today's filming, so the director asked you to come over and shoot. I heard the crew next door is rich and wants to expand their filming location, and they might need the scenery here. They even came to urge you, but you didn't know that the director was so angry that he yelled at you with a loudspeaker."

Jiang Ning drank tea and moved his eyes.

[The crew next door? Isn't that the crew that fake rich girl Shen Yuzhu invested in for the second female lead? It's a high-end production, sure, but hiring two top-tier male and female leads alone cost over a third of the production budget. They're even so rich they're planning to expand the set. It seems Shen Yuzhu brought a lot of money into the production.]

Lin Mian smiled. Shen Yuzhu had indeed invested a lot of money in it. If it weren't for Shen's father stopping her, maybe it would have been even more. What a pity.

"Jiang Ning is here for reshoots!" The director's signature loud voice rang out in the studio.

The power of this name was great. The crew members clearly saw that the expressions of several actors, including the male and female protagonists, who had been talked about by everyone, were stiff, and they greeted Jiang Ning in a dry voice.

[Well, you don't have to force yourself to smile. Be careful not to drop the implant you just had surgery on.]

An actor suddenly covered his nose, and it was like he was trying to cover up his mistake. It seemed that everyone knew who the melon belonged to, even without listening to Jiang Ning's words.

The director was sitting in front of the monitor watching the scene that had just been filmed. He looked up and saw that there was a large empty area around Jiang Ning, with only Lin Mian next to her. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Look at this kid, what has he done to these melon-loving people?

In fact, the director also wanted Jiang Ning to cut a melon to eat to relieve the pressure of filming. However, seeing the actors in the crew were so nervous, he felt embarrassed to eat the melon.

"Ahem, be quiet, come over here and start filming."

After rehearsing and filming, more than an hour had passed. The director confirmed that there were no problems with the reshoots, so Jiang Ning took off her makeup and asked Lin Mian, who was also off filming, to go try the snack stalls in the film and television city.

As soon as Jiang Ning left, the male and female protagonists looked at each other, and a look of relief flashed in their eyes.

There is no other way, they still have to hide their relationship from the company, the crew is too mixed, if the actors and staff hear about it, they can still treat them to dinner to prevent their relationship from being spread, but if the fans hear about it, then it will be a big deal.

Jiang Ning and Lin Mian had just walked out of the crew when they met the actors from the crew next door.

Shen Yuzhu, who was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, also saw them. She paused and walked up to them. She scowled at Lin Mian with her arms folded and said with disdain.

"Isn't this Lin Mian? How come it's not even noon yet and you've already finished filming? Your part is too small. Unlike me, I have to work hard all day and have a big night scene today."

Lin Mian finished filming long ago. Is that because she's a good actress? Since when did poor acting get to the point where you can brag about having to do a dozen or twenty NGs? And didn't you cause the entire crew to work overtime with you during the night scenes? Overtime and lack of sleep can cause hair loss and poor skin. How can that be a good thing?

Jiang Ning was chewing on the melon in her heart. She didn't understand Shen Yuzhu's unusual train of thought, and looked at the two leading actors of the show with sympathy.

[When you encounter a young lady like this who brings money into the group, even if her acting is poor and she drags down everyone's progress, you still have to treat her with kindness, which is also hard.]

The two leading actors were really unhappy when they heard these thoughts. When Shen Yuzhu joined the crew, her acting skills were not good, and she also brought her own screenwriter to rely on investment to change the script, and she wanted to interfere in every play.

Now they have just finished filming, and the male lead suddenly discovered that the second female lead played by Shen Yuzhu is his childhood sweetheart. Knowing that she has no one at home, he wants to bring her to his side to take care of the plot.

When the two thought about the newly revised script, they realized that there would be a second female lead in every scene where they were the male and female protagonists.

Even when they got married, the second female lead was sad and drunk, then was kidnapped by robbers. The male lead went to rescue her, and the female lead was left alone in the wedding room. It was like being force-fed shit, which made both of them feel sick.

The key point is just as Jiang Ning said in her heart, Shen Yuzhu joined the crew with money, she is a young lady, and if they express their dissatisfaction to the crew and want to change the script, the director will only perfunctorily give them a response.

With such a huge investment, it will definitely be a hit.

There's no way they'll be popular. They've both been actors for seven or eight years. How could they not understand that a movie shot according to this kind of script would be a piece of rubbish without a doubt?

Originally, this "The Legend of Yuluan" was a drama about a female protagonist fighting in the house and creating a precedent for female officials. The emotional scenes interspersed in the middle also showed the male and female protagonists supporting each other, trusting each other, and taking a long-lasting and warm route.

But now, most of the plots have been changed to include a second female lead. The scheming and strategy that the female lead should have shown in the house fights has become a jealous woman competing with others for favor, and the male lead's plot is even more broken.

The affectionate male protagonist turns into a scumbag who dotes on and indulges his childhood sweetheart. He gives the female protagonist a pearl hairpin on one hand and a set of head ornaments on the other. The plot of his firm trust in the female protagonist also turns into him suspecting that the female protagonist has hurt his childhood sweetheart, and the two of them have a conflict.

Filmed like this, the coolness of the heroine's house fighting line and the sweetness of the hero's emotional line are all gone.

When they thought about the fact that their good reputation would be gone after filming this drama, and whether they could carry the drama might be doubted by investors and netizens, both of them wanted to quit the group.

But they can only think about it. They have signed the contract and have filmed for so many days. If they break the contract and leave, it will be too embarrassing. I am afraid that if the crew wants to find them in the future, they will have to consider whether they will leave again in the middle of filming.

It was neither right to stay nor to leave, which made the two of them extremely annoyed. Especially since they had to coax the young lady Shen Yuzhu, going to work every day was really a nightmare.

When Lin Mian heard Jiang Ning's words, he suppressed his lips and said with envy and loneliness.

"Oh, congratulations! This drama is a big production and will definitely be a hit. Shen Yuzhu, would you like to invest more? I heard that actors without a film and television company as a backer are easily cut from their roles. If you invest more, you'll have more say, and no one on the crew will dare to cut your scenes."

These words of concern sound quite genuine.

Shen Yuzhu recalled that after Lin Mian returned to the Shen family, he pretended to be good to please his parents and her. After Shen Yuzhu briefly worried that Lin Mian would replace her position, she found that her parents and Chen Lin were still on her side.

She was still the precious eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Lin Mian was just an adopted daughter announced to the outside world, so she didn't take Lin Mian seriously at all.

At this moment, she only felt that Lin Mian said this to please her, because he didn't want to be kicked out of the Shen family and return to his previous poor life.

After all, with her status in the Shen family, if she didn't want Lin Mian to stay in the Shen family, Lin Mian would be kicked out immediately. No matter how noble Lin Mian was, or how she was the real daughter of the Shen family, she still had to please her in order to live her current rich life.
