"Huh? But... but all of these can be changed."
The assistant director probably didn't realize the seriousness of the situation because Wen Yan didn't really lose her temper and seemed easy to get along with.
He even smiled and went up to take a look at the script.
"This is just a simple framework. The specific details are all put together on the spot. You don't necessarily have to follow what's written here. You can completely overturn it."
"For example, you could replace the sugar water with other snacks, or if a male actor is eating on set, you could go over and talk to him, and he could share some beef jerky or candy with you. All of these are okay."
"..." Wen Yan was shocked and immediately turned cold. "You're okay with this, but I'm not! I don't accept this kind of hype and staged photos. Don't bring me this kind of thing again. Take the script back, and I'll pretend I never saw it."
Wen Yan felt that she had made herself clear enough and given the other party enough face.
But the assistant director still hadn't given up.
"Teacher Wen, I don't think you need to refuse so decisively. Why don't you reconsider? After all, this is also a form of promotion, and many other dramas do it this way now."
"And the facts have proven that this kind of publicity method is very effective. Anyway, it's very common for people to share snacks on set, and many people even use the same straw to drink from the same cup of milk tea. These are all basic practices."
"Even if you don't want to film these behind-the-scenes clips now, you'll still need to interact with your co-stars when the show becomes popular. It doesn't really matter whether you film them sooner or later. Filming them on set now is actually more authentic."
Wen Yan frowned deeply.
She rarely shows that kind of expression to others.
Once she makes this expression, it means her patience has reached its limit.
"Director Li, was I not clear enough just now, or are you pretending not to understand? I said I don't accept this kind of hype and staged photos. As for how I interact with other actors after the TV series airs, that's none of your business, okay? Also, I don't want to say the same thing a third time."
After Wen Yan finished speaking, she turned and left.
What kind of people are they?! All they do is think about underhanded tricks all day long. Can't they focus on the quality of the show?
No wonder netizens always complain that each TV series is worse than the last.
It seems the director and actors focused all their energy on marketing and hype.
That assistant director was also stubborn. Wen Yan had given him a hard time in front of so many people, yet he still wanted to chase after her.
Upon seeing this, He Xing immediately spread his arms and blocked his way.
"Excuse me, our actors need to prepare for the next scene. Could you please not disturb us any further?"
"No, I really didn't mean any harm. How about this, could you let me go over and apologize to Teacher Wen?"
"No way!" He Xing refused decisively. "Your decision not to bother us is the greatest sincerity of your apology. Just don't come looking for us actors with your lousy scripts anymore, okay?"
"No, this script is really just an example. You can change it, even make it completely to your advantage."
"..." He Xing said, "I have a question I'm curious about. I wonder if you could answer it for me first?"
"What, you're asking?"
"How did you get this job in this production crew? Was it because of your outstanding shamelessness? Please leave. The contract doesn't say we have to cooperate in filming this kind of thing. If you keep this up, we might as well take you to court."
"Alright, alright, I'll go then. But could you please apologize to Teacher Wen for me? Also, if you change your mind..."
"roll!"
Even He Xing couldn't stand it anymore; this person was just too, too long-winded.
However, she quickly thought of something else.
"Wait a moment!"
"What?" The assistant director's face instantly went from sour to beaming. "You've figured it out?"
“We’ve always thought this through,” He Xing frowned. “You’re the ones who’s misunderstood. I’m asking you, whose idea was this behind-the-scenes footage shooting? Was it the director or the male lead in your script?”
When He Xing suddenly raised this question, the assistant director's expression changed.
"If you don't want to film, then don't film. Why ask so many questions? Just don't regret it later. Seriously, you definitely will."
He left as soon as he finished speaking, without needing anyone to chase him away.
Wen Yan said she was resting, but she was actually keeping an eye on He Xing's movements.
Seeing the assistant director leave, she immediately began searching for Xu Letian on set.
I think I saw him when we were filming just now, but now I can't find him anywhere.
By the time she came to her senses, He Xing had already returned to her side.
"I've never seen anyone so shameless," He Xing complained. "He acted like he didn't hear us even after we told him to leave."
"Yes. By the way, have you seen Xu Letian and the others?"
"I saw it."
Where is it?
“Isn’t he right over there?” He Xing said, pointing in a direction. “Huh? He’s gone. I saw him just a few minutes ago. I guess he went back this morning since he didn’t have any scenes. His assistant isn’t on set either. I just asked the assistant director whose idea this script was, but he didn’t answer me.”
"Of course. That assistant director is actually quite shrewd. He knew I was angry and was worried I'd make a big deal out of it, so he didn't say anything. But the director must have known about this too, though it's hard to say whose suggestion it was. But let's just let it go this time. Anyway, he's already left with his weird script. Whether it was the director's idea or not, since he didn't come to me with that behind-the-scenes script himself, I'll just pretend he doesn't know anything about it."
