Chapter 39 Let us find it easier, to Chinen
When Xiang Wanning woke up, she found that not only was the makeup artist missing, but she was the only one in the dressing room. The sun was rising outside the window, and it seemed to be noon.
The sunlight shone through the window onto her cheek. Xiang Wan Ning was dazed for a moment until she saw her assistant coming in with a lunch box. Only then did she react and immediately reached for her cell phone.
I clicked on the screen and saw it clearly displayed: 12 o'clock noon.
Xiang Wanning, who originally just wanted to take a nap: …
So she slept from four or five in the morning until twelve noon? !
Didn't anyone call her?
Or did Yu Quezhou deliberately not call her, preparing to wait for her to wake up and then do something cruel to her?
Xiang Wanning's heart suddenly sank. She watched the assistant put the lunch box on her desk. She had already thought of her own tragic fate, so she asked weakly, "Are you planning to come and celebrate the seventh day of my death?"
When the assistant heard this, he immediately knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Wan Ning. Director Yu adjusted the shooting schedule today and will shoot other people's scenes first. He also specifically asked us not to disturb your sleep!"
At this point, the assistant, who had witnessed how badly Xiang Wanning had been tortured in the past few days, suddenly spoke in a good way for Yu Quezhou hesitantly: "So it seems that Director Yu is actually very considerate, right?"
Xiang Wan Ning couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't help but rub them with her hand. After making sure that what she heard was not her illusion, she couldn't help but murmured, "Has Yu Quezhou changed his personality today?"
As she was talking, she opened the lid of her lunch box and discovered that today's dishes had improved as well!
Xiang Wanning: ...
Something is wrong. Something is extremely wrong!
The assistant saw Xiang Wanning close the lid of the lunch box again, frowned, turned his head to look at him, and said seriously: "I suspect this is my last meal... Did Yu Quezhou change the script again?"
The drama "Tomorrow's Time" mainly tells the story of a poor student who only loves painting and not studying since childhood. After entering high school, she experienced great changes in her family and hardships in life. She decided to work hard to get into her ideal university, realize her dream, and let her family live a better life. The story of a man who, after hard work, became a top student and was admitted to the university of his dreams.
——But so far, Yu Quezhou has revised the script three times.
The first time, he felt that the heroine's emotional line was a little weak, so he waved his hand and asked the screenwriter to add a love line, but this relationship could not have any results.
After much thought, the screenwriter decided to change the story to one where the heroine has a crush on the top student in the grade. When she finally musters up the courage to confess her love to him, she is not only rejected but also humiliated by him.
"You have no looks, no money, no grades, why should I agree to you?"
This sentence hit the heroine hard, and it happened to be a time of great changes in her family. After she dealt with everything and came back, she was determined to impress the other party! Finally, he worked hard and snatched the first place in the grade!
The screenwriters nodded with satisfaction: Who wouldn’t like to see a slap in the face of a scumbag?
The second time was when Yu Quezhou was looking at the script revised by the screenwriter and felt that the heroine's emotional line could add a little more growth experience.
So the screenwriter scratched his head and set up a childhood sweetheart for the heroine, who is the second-best student in the class. The story becomes that the heroine has a crush on the top student in the grade. After mustering up the courage to confess her love to him and being rejected and humiliated, she works hard with the help of her childhood sweetheart, and finally makes a gorgeous comeback and is admitted to her ideal university.
The screenwriters clapped their hands and thought they were geniuses: This is definitely the solution! After slapping the scumbag in the face and being waited for by his childhood sweetheart, how could this not impress Yu Quezhou?
The third time, Yu Quezhou suddenly felt that although adding this drama made the heroine's character more three-dimensional and her emotions more abundant, it deviated from the core ideas that the script wanted to express: youth, transformation and growth.
Youth does not necessarily require immature love or bitter secret love. Perhaps we should focus on the experience of young people struggling together. So Yu Quezhou once again waved his hand and cut off both love lines.
The three screenwriters who revised the work overnight were so angry that they laughed: …
Damn, you are such a living dad.
They sighed and stayed up late to revise the script, so the plot became that when the heroine experienced a major family change, the teachers and classmates in the class accompanied her through the difficult times.
The heroine always thought that she was a loner and that her classmates and teachers didn't like her. I didn’t expect to get help from my classmates after something happened in my family. I was deeply moved.
After this, her mentality changed. She decided to work hard, take responsibility for her future life, and not let down her classmates and teachers who had always helped her!
Yu Quezhou was satisfied with this change, but the two male supporting roles he found were temporarily useless.
The two popular young actors, one plays the oldest and the other plays a childhood sweetheart. Before they could be happy that they could join Yu Quezhou's group, they suddenly received a notice that their roles were cut.
In other words, they didn't shoot a single scene, but they finished the filming just like that!
Both of them: ...
Are they here for a fashion show?
As Xiang Wan Ning thought about this, she heard her assistant say, "It seems that the scene that started shooting early today is an outdoor scene, filming the Hundred Days Oath Rally."
She stood up and walked to the window. When she looked up, she didn't see the Hundred-Day Oath-Taking Ceremony, but she saw the crew gathered together to discuss something.
Xiang Wanning had excellent eyesight and could clearly see the three resentful screenwriters sitting next to Yu Quezhou and scratching their heads with helpless expressions. It was obvious that Yu Quezhou was going to change the script again.
She simply took her lunch box and walked back to the window. She looked at the screenwriters' bitter and resentful faces and Yu Quezhou's frowning brows, and felt like she could eat a few more bowls of rice.
Don't say she's too cruel.
Xiang Wan Ning has joined the crew for a week. Except in the beginning, everyone in the crew was quite polite to each other. Later on, when they realized that it was either others or themselves who were unlucky, everyone had developed the habit of watching the show from the sidelines when seeing who was unlucky.
After all, if you don't smile now, it will be the other person's turn to laugh at you next time.
Maybe it was because her gaze was too scorching. Xiang Wanning had just finished her lunch box when she met Yu Quezhou's gaze as he looked up at her the next second.
Yu Quezhou raised his eyebrows, as if he couldn't stand her leisurely look.
After a while, he said something to the screenwriters, and one of them seemed relieved and immediately stood up to find her.
Xiang Wan Ning was shocked, and had a hunch that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, the screenwriter went straight to the dressing room. As soon as he saw her, he sighed and said, "Sister Wan Ning, please go down quickly. Director Yu is calling you. He said that you are the female lead and you have to participate in the script reading!"
Xiang Wanning: ...
No, script reading happens before filming starts, right? Which director has so much money to come to the reading before filming starts?
——Oh, it’s Yu Quezhou, that’s okay.
But judging by the speed at which he revised the script, this has nothing to do with the script reading, right? After all, it's your role at this moment, but he might get in the mood in the next moment and your role will be gone. Do you still need to read it together?
It’s really interesting to work in Yu Quezhou’s group. Every day is a different script, which brings different life experiences to the actors.
She still doesn't know what roles the male supporting actors whose roles were cut played now.
When Xiang Wan Ning successfully reunited with the main group, he saw that Yu Quezhou had already called all the leading actors and asked them one by one to talk about their understanding of the role based on the actual situation.
First, the male supporting role who plays the top student in the grade, he scratched his head and said uncertainly: "...but I don't have any scenes, does my understanding really matter?"
Next is the male supporting actor who plays the childhood sweetheart. He looked around blankly: "But I was directly arranged to go abroad... My understanding is that he will definitely not return to China to take the college entrance examination."
Xiang Wanning: ...
Well said, it’s the same as not saying anything.
So when everyone's eyes fell on her, Xiang Wan Ning spread her hands and also expressed helplessness: "I don't know much about high school because I didn't go to high school."
Yu Quezhou laughed and clapped his hands for the three of them, his eyes full of praise: "Well said."
Before they had time to feel proud, the next day, Yu Quezhou sent all of them, the main actors and three screenwriters, to the school that was working with the crew to attend high school. They said that they would have an in-depth experience of high school life for a week, strengthen their understanding of high school life, and then come back to revise the script and film.
Everyone: ...
"No." Someone asked, "Aren't we filming a movie? Why do we really have to be a senior in high school?"
The screenwriter couldn't help but sigh: "Director Yu is really rich."
Xiang Wanning began to regret why she had gone to sleep before. She stared at the school plaque in despair. It read: No. 1 High School in City A, expressing her genuine confusion.
"We won't have to take the exam with them again?"
…
The reason why Yu Quezhou paused filming was not because he had too much money and had nowhere to spend it, but because he just happened to receive a call from Shen Yanli at this time, who said: "The holographic technology that the Chinen research team is developing has begun to show some signs of success, but because Chinen is now in the crew and can't stay in the lab all the time, and the main creators are not here, so the progress is relatively slow."
Chen Yanli asked him: "Zhinian gave me the key before and told me to keep an eye on the research team when she was on the crew."
So when Chen Yanli learned that the researcher had further results, he immediately called Yu Quezhou and Xiang Chisong and asked them if they wanted to follow him to Zhinian's laboratory to take a look?
Xiang Chisong was launching a counterattack against Miss's company, and he also received a call from his family saying that a guest had arrived, so he rejected his proposal with some regret.
Yu Quezhou readily agreed.
After getting in Chen Yanli's car, the other party asked Yu Quezhou curiously: "But didn't you just start filming a new drama these days? I thought that with your perfectionist personality, you would not leave the crew before the drama was finished! I didn't expect that you would have time to go to the laboratory with me."
Yu Quezhou fastened his seat belt. This sentence seemed to bring back distant memories. He couldn't help but touch the ring on his hand anxiously and replied, "Because this matter is more important."
Shen Yanli also agreed with what he said: "Indeed, this is an advancement in the history of science and technology. Who doesn't want to be one of the first people to witness the birth of holographic technology?"
Yu Quezhou lowered his eyes and smiled, it seemed that his thoughts were different from Chen Yanli's.
His eyes were deep, but he did not refute.
After they parked the car at the door of the laboratory and went through many checkpoints, they saw a researcher in white protective clothing walking towards them.
The other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, who is Mr. Shen Yanli?"
Chen Yanli was originally still looking at the paintings on the wall, wondering why there were such things that didn't fit the laboratory's temperament, when he heard this voice, so he turned around and replied: "It's me."
Yu Quezhou keenly noticed that after Chen Yanli answered, the researcher's pupils suddenly contracted, and under the light, a sharp light seemed to flash quickly in his eyes.
But soon, the researcher recovered as normal and stepped forward to lead the way for them.
After passing through the laboratory hall, they saw a clean white passage in front of them. At the end of the passage was a white door. Many researchers in protective clothing came in and out of this door, passing by them busily.
The researcher who led them took them to change into protective clothing.
"What's your name?" Yu Quezhou was cautious when putting on the protective suit and asked casually.
"Ning Weiyan." He used a smile to suppress the malice in his words: "My name is Ning Weiyan."
——
Just when Xiang Wanning was forced by Yu Quezhou to study in school, Xiang Zhinian happened to go back home during his vacation.
Before she even entered the door, she felt a sense of low pressure in the house. All the servants were silent, and the butler looked at him with a worried look on his face.
Xiang Zhinian was wondering, and when she lowered her head to change her shoes, she found that there were a few pairs of shoes on the shoe cabinet that she had never seen before.
Are there guests at home?
She guessed: Judging from the way everyone looks, it seems that this group of people is not very friendly?
She walked into the living room, somewhat curiously shouting, "Mom, who's here?"
The next second, Xiang Zhinian's words came to an abrupt halt.
Because the moment she walked into the living room and looked up, she saw three people she didn't know sitting on the sofa in the house.
——The three men were wearing almost identical dark blue suits, with lily brooches made of sapphires pinned on their chests. They had arrogant expressions and reserved temperaments, with the aura that only belonged to foreign aristocrats.
Xiang Zhinian's smile froze on his face instantly.
No...it can't be considered as not knowing each other.
Because Xiang Zhinian had seen the man in the middle before, and the information she had found before showed that he was her biological father.
"Looking at you, you should know who we are." The man in the middle said, glancing at her with his phoenix eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Although your shabby temperament makes me feel uncomfortable, I have to admit that you do have some skills."
"You deliberately left us wrong information on the dark web, so we have to find you now." At this point, the man chuckled and called out her name coldly: "Xiang Zhinian."
