"Tang Li".
The assistant blurted out something.
Lin Yiyun found it hard to believe; seeing Tang Li on set felt like seeing a ghost in a graveyard.
"You wouldn't happen to be... the author of the original novel for this show, would you?"
The assistant was stunned.
She could almost predict that Lin Yiyun would explode in the next second.
At this moment, Jingjiu enthusiastically introduced, "Tang Li, let me introduce you. This is the second female lead in our drama. After tonight's final scene, the second female lead's scenes will be finished."
But tonight's scene is one where she infiltrates the enemy camp and suffers humiliation.
After the scene, she went mad and drowned herself in the icy lake.
The ending for the second female lead is open-ended.
Whether he is dead or not is a question that readers are very concerned about.
The opinions are basically divided into two camps. Some readers believe that if the second female lead doesn't die, it will be difficult to appease public anger.
Some readers believe that death would be a relief, and that she had to live to endure all of this.
Asked to perform this scene in front of Tang Li, Lin Yiyun turned around and left without even thinking.
The agent quickly stopped her:
"Filming is about to wrap up. After shooting this last scene, your career will finally come to a perfect end. You can't leave yourself with such an anticlimactic ending, can you?"
Lin Yiyun lowered her voice and issued her final ultimatum:
"Tonight on this set, it's either her or me; it's either her or me."
The agent was utterly astonished:
"You know her? Do you have a grudge against her?"
Only Lin Yiyun's assistant knows about her private matters.
She kept some of her unsavory secrets from her agent.
Lin Yiyun was speechless.
On the film set.
The director yelled "Action!" but Lin Yiyun was still on strike.
Jingjiu gave Tang Li a meaningful look, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.
Despite her agent's persistent persuasion, Lin Yiyun said she wanted to talk to Tang Li alone, citing her desire to better portray the second female lead.
Jingjiu disagreed, but Tang Li smiled and said:
“You go and explain to the director, and I will persuade Lin Yiyun. I know you have money and can find an actress willing to replace Lin Yiyun’s role at any time, but I personally think that Lin Yiyun playing the second female lead is itself a kind of traffic and topic.”
This show is bound to be a hit.
The Beijing-Kowloon Railway sighs:
"Given her temper, she'd probably confront you directly. Are you sure you can beat her?"
Tang Li smiled and said:
"Don't worry, a writer's pen is the sharpest knife. She wouldn't dare to provoke me at this time."
Upon entering Lin Yiyun's dressing room, her assistant and agent were stopped at the door.
Lin Yiyun couldn't wait to ask:
"Are you the author of the original novel for this play?"
Pear trees accompanied by rain.
Tang Li.
It's not that Lin Yiyun couldn't connect the two people; rather, she simply didn't believe Tang Li could write a book.
In her eyes, Tang Li was nothing more than a pampered young lady who, after her family's decline, seduced the sole heir of the Huo Group in order to continue her life of luxury, thus becoming a glamorous socialite.
In short, Lin Yiyun thought she was just a decorative vase.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a renowned and acclaimed author.
Tang Li sat down in Lin Yiyun's seat, looking at her with interest:
"I thought you already knew."
You knew all along?
Lin Yiyun raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"
Now that we've come to this point, it's time to make things clear.
Tang Li frowned, looking at her with some confusion:
"Didn't my ex-husband tell you? On the day you were officially announced as the second female lead in this drama, your fiancé came to see me. Originally, you should have been the undisputed female lead in this drama."
That day was the most humiliating day for Lin Yiyun.
The lead role, which seemed within her grasp, slipped away at the last minute.
Not only that, she was also forced to accept the villainous role of the second female lead.
"Was it you who did this?"
Lin Yiyun couldn't believe it. No matter what, she was just a writer. How could she possibly shake the decision of capital?
Moreover, Huo Chenyu's answer to her that day was that he didn't want her to have a romantic relationship with another man in the play.
Therefore, she took on the role of the second female lead, a character who was unloved by her parents and despised by everyone.
Tang Li was still stirring up trouble in her heart:
“Back then, Jingjiu was a fan of my book. She asked me who I wanted to play the female lead in my book. Tang Sui is a fan of yours, and she strongly recommended you. The evening gown you wore at the banquet was also designed by Tang Sui for you.”
Gain and loss are separated by a fine line.
Originally, all of this belonged to Lin Yiyun.
In the end, it all turned into her humiliation.
Seeing Lin Yiyun's utterly shocked expression, Tang Li gently stabbed her in the back:
"Of course, none of this matters even a fraction of Huo Chenyu's importance in your heart, and I'm sure Miss Lin wouldn't even look at him."
Lin Yiyun was so angry that her whole body was trembling.
Everyone else knew it, but she was kept in the dark.
"So, the drastic alteration of the second female lead's scenes was your revenge against me?"
This character is absolutely wicked.
Not only will readers dislike it, but audiences will also not buy into it in the future. Even she herself hated the character when she played it.
Tang Li readily admitted:
"It's a radical adaptation, and also a form of revenge. Having witnessed Miss Lin's methods, I feel that although the second female lead in my book is ruthless and vicious, she is nothing compared to Miss Lin. In order to better fit Miss Lin herself, as a congratulatory gift for Miss Lin's final work, I have poured all my heart and soul into this character."
She was absolutely clear-headed.
Lin Yiyun snorted coldly:
"You're here tonight to see me make a fool of myself, aren't you?"
Tang Li nodded:
"It's undeniable that such thoughts exist, but Ms. Lin is a professional actress and is unlikely to be affected by any external factors. Therefore, I am more interested in observing Ms. Lin's acting skills."
This is blatant revenge!
Lin Yiyun was furious and said through gritted teeth:
Aren't you afraid I'll boycott the show?
Tang Li shrugged:
"Why should I be afraid? Whether you play the role or not, whether the broadcast will be delayed, or whether the show will be a hit, will not affect my income at all. The website has already paid me for the film and television copyright. If Ms. Lin is unhappy, she doesn't need to make herself suffer."
After saying that, Tang Li stood up and joked with a smile:
"After all, when Miss Lin became a concubine, she must have weighed the pros and cons carefully. She must have felt that the happiness she wanted outweighed the grievances. Otherwise, why would Miss Lin, at such a young age, want to become someone's concubine?"
The word "concubine" struck a nerve with Lin Yiyun.
In the drama, she eagerly wanted to become the male lead's concubine, but was instead humiliated by enemy soldiers, losing her chastity and reputation.
Faced with Tang Li's humiliation, Lin Yiyun turned away proudly:
"Tang Li, I won't let you have your way."
Watching Lin Yiyun leave the dressing room and head towards the film set, Tang Li smiled victoriously.
