Shang Yechu didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Wu Jianing's thoughts raced. Zhang Shan and Mei Yaohong had both worked with Ye Chu on "Happiness Street, Please Come In!", they were comrades in the same production crew and had a very close relationship. Should she first exclude them, then casually praise them, letting Ye Chu extend her affection to them—this strategy should be correct, right? Why wasn't Ye Chu reacting?

Wu Jianing's eyes flickered, and she suddenly caught sight of Jian Xiaojun standing next to Ye Chu, and her heart lit up.

“Sister Ye,” Wu Jianing said hurriedly, “the screenwriter just came to the car to comfort me, but I kept crying and crying and didn’t hear what the screenwriter said... I apologize to the screenwriter here.”

With that, Wu Jianing turned to Jian Xiaojun and bowed deeply, saying, "Screenwriter, I'm so sorry—"

The boy band and girl group are rife with infighting, and Wu Jianing, growing up in that environment, is adept at reading other people's emotions. Ye Chu and the screenwriter clearly have a good relationship, so why is she giving him the cold shoulder now? Could it be that she suspects Wu Jianing of bullying the screenwriter in the car just now?

Although Wu Jianing had a bit of a big shot's air about her, she knew very well who she couldn't afford to offend. Ye Chu had already decided that no one could change the script, meaning the screenwriter had the most power.

If "The Legend of Happiness Street" goes well, there might be a second or third season. But if they offend the screenwriter now, what if they kill him off in the second season? Wu Jianing doesn't want to leave Happiness Street until she finds a new project.

Therefore, although Wu Jianing dared to raise her voice at the director, she never gave Jian Xiaojun a hard time. Just now in the car, she just kept crying, preventing Jian Xiaojun from getting a word in edgewise.

Jian Xiaojun leaned close to Shang Yechu's ear and whispered, "Alright, alright, you've been quite impressive. She does have some brains, don't worry."

That was quite a subtle remark. Shang Yechu turned her head and glanced at Jian Xiaojun in surprise (this time, she was genuinely surprised). She hadn't expected that Jian Xiaojun, who appeared naive and impulsive, had actually seen through these people all along.

Jian Xiaojun smiled, winking at herself.

Shang Yechu suddenly remembered that most of the authors and screenwriters she knew, apart from that eccentric Sheng Wenzhi, were shrewd and intelligent. They were just too lazy to socialize, not isolated from the world.

Shang Yechu blinked, indicating to Jian Xiaojun that she understood.

Replacing two lead actors at once is indeed too conspicuous and unlucky. Since Wu Jianing is intelligent, then we'll have to start with the one who isn't.

"I see." Shang Yechu nodded. "Since Brother Zhuang is so afraid of getting paint all over his face from the water gun, then I think we shouldn't film this scene."

"Huh?" The director panicked. "Ma'am, you're going to cut this scene?"

The rest of the crew quietly lowered their sipping of milk tea and pricked up their ears to watch the drama unfold.

“No need to remove it.” Shang Yechu didn’t even look at Zhuang Sheng. “Doesn’t the company have a backup actor for the role of Brother Zhuang? Tell the company to invite the backup actor, and also invite Brother Zhuang back.”

Zhuang Sheng suddenly sneered and turned to leave. His manager grabbed him, shouting, "Sister Ye, Sister Ye, let's talk this out..."

"Let me go," Zhuang Sheng said coldly, but she couldn't break free from her manager.

Wu Jianing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ye Chu was going to target Zhuang Sheng. Luckily, she knew what was good for her.

The director was in an even more difficult position. He leaned forward and whispered, "Zhuang Sheng's scenes have already been filmed a lot. Replacing him would be too costly and would lengthen the production cycle many times over."

This is also the main reason why the director has been in a difficult position lately. Zhuang Sheng and Wu Jianing weren't like this when they first joined the crew. In the first half of filming, the two were quite dedicated and performed very well. It wasn't until recently, when they had filmed more and more scenes, that the cost of replacing them increased dramatically, and the director finally revealed his true colors.

"Who said I was going to change generals?" Shang Yechu raised an eyebrow.
