Anyone with a brain knows how to make this choice.
Er Gouzi hesitated for a moment before taking Wen Yi's broken phone.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Find the car that kidnapped Lin Zhi."
As soon as Wen Yi finished speaking, Er Gouzi almost instinctively dropped his phone, his tone sharp, "Are you out of your mind? I already said, that car just carried the person away, I didn't even look. Besides, so many days have passed, where am I supposed to look for them?"
"This is your territory, I believe you have a way to find it."
"I have no choice."
"Then we'll have to meet at the police station."
"..."
"How long will it take for you to get back to me?" Wen asked with a smile.
Er Gouzi's face turned black with anger. He gripped his phone and finally managed to choke out, "One week."
"Two days," Wen Yi said, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote down his phone number, which he didn't usually use.
"Call me after you find a clue."
"It's only been two days, how could I possibly..."
"Two days later, it won't be the information I want, or I'll be sent to the police station."
Wen Yi said this and turned to leave.
Er Gouzi stood there, staring intently as Wen Yi got into the car. His expression was somewhat complicated. He felt that this seemingly weak woman, who looked so plain and easy to bully, was surprisingly ruthless in her words and actions.
Wen Yi drove straight ahead until he could no longer see Er Gouzi in the rearview mirror, and then he arrived at the nearby police station.
She filed a police report about Lin Zhi's disappearance.
But after going through the whole process, Wen Yi realized that the case had been reported in vain. He couldn't expect any clues from them and could only rely on Er Gouzi.
In truth, Wen Yi was still unsure and uncertain whether Er Gouzi could truly handle the situation. But for now, Er Gouzi was the only option.
After Wen finished dealing with these matters, she received a call from the director asking her to go to the film set.
The script for the film version of "Sword and Qin" is roughly completed on both sides, and Wen Yi needs to have a meeting with the director team.
Wen called upon the team he had previously collaborated with.
After the "Sword and Qin" movie project was confirmed, Wen Yi contacted her previous team. Her team was independent; they would gather together to complete projects when they had work, and go their separate ways when they didn't have work. They could also take on other jobs, making them both free and professional.
When Wen Yi arrived at the film set, the director was still struggling with the final airport scene, and Wen Ge couldn't get it right no matter what she did.
Wen glanced at it. This scene was about the biggest change in the female lead's life, requiring a lot of emotion and inner monologue, but Wen Ge's eyes showed nothing but innocence and purity.
No matter how they filmed, they couldn't get the results the director wanted, and the director was getting a little frustrated.
"Rest, rest! Take a ten-minute break. After ten minutes, I want to see the results I want!"
The director threw down his work and went straight to his office.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely unfriendly.
Wen Ge's new manager, Lucy, went up to talk to her, while an acting teacher gave a lecture. Wen Ge appeared calm on the surface, but her eyes betrayed her impatience.
“Ms. Wen Yi, the director said you should wait for him in the lounge first. The work here is a bit complicated, and your team members are all in the lounge.”
The assistant director came over to Wen Yi and spoke very carefully.
Previously, the assistant director had always been very polite to Wen Yi, but despite his politeness, he was extremely cautious this time, sneaking glances at Wen Yi many times.
Clearly, they are still shaken by the Golden Deer Gate incident.
In this situation, Wen Yi couldn't say anything to anyone.
She noticed from the moment she entered that the crew members were constantly spying on her with strange looks, but Wen Yi pretended not to notice.
"I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."
As Wen Yi spoke, she walked towards Wen Ge.
"Sister." Wen Ge greeted Wen Yi with a smile as she walked over. "After the Golden Deer Gate incident ended, I haven't had a chance to ask about your situation, since I've been busy here too."
She brought up the old story, pushing Wen Yi into the eye of the gossip storm on set when everyone was sensitive about it.
"I think the director is very dissatisfied with your performance in these scenes?"
Wen Yi stepped forward and helped Wen Ge straighten her clothes. "Little sister, you have to work harder. You're playing the lead role in your first time on set. Don't let our hard work go to waste."
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely try my best. But you should try to tone down your personality a bit. Don't think that just because someone else is handling everything, you can be unreasonable and demanding. Sooner or later, something bad will happen."
"I believe that my sister will definitely be able to act well before I get into trouble."
"I definitely will. After all, everything I have today is the result of my hard work, and I know the meaning of hard work."
"That's just your opinion. Don't be too naive about some things; you're fooling yourself as well as others."
Wen Yi always had a smile on her face, while Wen Ge's smile was much brighter.
The two sisters' back-and-forth conversation was filled with hidden barbs in every word.
Wen Yi suddenly hugged Wen Ge, then pulled her in front of the camera and reminded her, "You have to remember, you are facing a dead person now. This person took away what you wanted most, preventing you from becoming the future young mistress of the Gu family. Do you hate him? Besides hate, what other emotions do you have towards such a person?"
Wen Yi whispered a reminder in Wen Ge's ear.
Wen Ge stared intently at Wen Yi, her gaze filled with resentment, sharpness, and a complex mix of emotions.
Wen Yi was satisfied and called to the assistant director, "Notify the director to start filming immediately, the actors are ready."
She was arrogant and conceited.
In their professional field, they are never intimidated and never doubt their own abilities.
With Wen Yi's reminder, the director arrived, the camera started, and following Wen Ge's emotions, filmed several scenes that had been cut several times.
"Good, very good!"
The director was very satisfied and kept shouting excitedly.
Wen Yi had already gone to the lounge to meet up with the rest of the team.
The twins Lin Dongdong and Lin Xiaxia are the closest to Wen Yi in the team. Dongdong, as the older brother, has a steady personality, while Lin Xiaxia is more lively. It is precisely Lin Xiaxia's lively personality that often sparks different kinds of fun.
"I really like A's script, the female lead is very exciting." Lin Xiaxia immediately expressed her opinion as soon as she met Wen Yi.
Lin Dongdong pressed her down, "Choosing option A is extremely risky and troublesome. It's easy for various bugs to appear halfway through filming, requiring script revisions and reconstruction, resulting in significant losses. Overall, while script B is conventional, it's error-free and the safest option."
"What's the use of playing it safe? It's unremarkable. To put it nicely, it's just average; to put it bluntly, it lacks any highlights," Lin Xiaxia complained.
"The only highlight of A's script is the female lead; otherwise, it's worthless."
"You're the one who's utterly useless."
"Lin Xiaxia, this is a time to discuss work."
The two started arguing, and just as Wen Yi was about to remind them that the meeting hadn't officially started yet, her phone rang.
Second Master Gu is calling!
Wen Yi muttered to himself...
