The assistant director stood next to Director Wei and kept nodding.
With supporters, Director Wei stood even straighter.
He pressed on, continuing to express his views: "If we follow your proposed changes, Yongli will not only be a simp, but also a perverted stalker!"
Xu Yanyu looked at this person and then at that person, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Tao Mimi's eyes widened in fury. Director Wei said that her most satisfying portrayal of Yongli wasn't just about being a simp, but also added that he was a perverted stalker...
She refused to accept it!
So they have accomplices, right? She wants to recruit allies too.
Tao Mimi looked at Xu Yanyu and asked, "What do you think of Yongli? Isn't his love pure and noble? Is there anything wrong with pure love? How is pure love considered being a simp?"
Xu Yanyu thought about it and became conflicted.
After a while, she said, "Actually, it's alright. He just loves himself, so it hasn't bothered Liu Jing."
“Yes! That’s exactly why it’s so heartbreaking!” Tao Mimi felt that Xu Yanyu could understand the appeal of this couple.
Director Wei said with disdain, "No, there's nothing wrong with what you wrote before because Liu Jing had few scenes. But if you add scenes of Liu Jing but don't let them interact, it will make his behavior seem illogical."
"What's wrong? I wrote it... When Liu Jing was searching for treasure on the waves, Yong Li pretended to accompany her. When Liu Jing was cultivating in the mountain abyss, Yong Li also followed her..."
While Liu Jing was busy investigating cases for the sect, Yong Li was also quietly helping out. Tao Mimi shared her creative ideas.
Xu Yanyu felt something was off as she listened. What? What?
She wants to go beachcombing and surfing? She wants to jump off mountains and into abysses? She wants to investigate a case?
She quickly picked up the script that Tao Mimi had placed aside.
She flipped through the pages and saw that Liu Jing's scenes had increased significantly.
"Look, they've watched the stars together, seen the sea together... Yongli and Liu Jing have so many wonderful memories, but Liu Jing only sees him as a stranger. In the end, don't you think it's heartbreaking?"
Tao Mimi became more and more excited as she talked.
Xu Yanyu waved the script in her hand. It wasn't a matter of whether it was angst-worthy or not; it was that she didn't have time!
Xu Yanyu felt that she couldn't let Tao Mimi continue talking. If she did, Liu Jing would have to go to outer space with Yongli.
She quickly said, "I'm telling you, I don't have time. I have to go back to H City on Friday to record a program. I don't have time to follow you guys to take pictures of the stars, the moon, and the waves..."
Tao Mimi waved her hand and said in a rather domineering manner, "On Friday, you will take my helicopter back to H City. After you finish the program, you will take the helicopter back to continue filming."
"No, if you keep doing this, I won't have enough funds. I've already wasted a lot of time because of Xi Rubao."
Renting a venue costs money? Hiring extras costs money? These all cost money!
Director Wei also had his own reasons.
He felt he couldn't let Tao Mimi do whatever she wanted.
Tao Mimi asked, "Is your production team willing to accept external investment?"
Tao Mimi looked at Xu Yanyu.
Previously, she had no choice; she couldn't find the Liu Jing in her heart, so Director Wei could film however he wanted.
But now that Liu Jing is standing right in front of her, she is determined to portray the character of Liu Jing even better.
Xu Yanyu asked softly, "If I get a lot of screen time, will you pay me more?"
"Add it!" Tao Mimi knew how to be generous with other people's money.
Unfortunately, she wasn't in charge; Director Wei was the one in charge of the production team.
Director Wei waved his hand, feeling that he shouldn't have been lazy and taken a vacation.
He wanted to go out for a meal, but one problem after another started popping up.
Xu Yanyu looked at Director Wei, but he ignored her and continued his verbal battle with the screenwriter.
The two argued about everything from the main storyline to their romantic relationship, and then from the theme to the background of the script.
The two argued for half an hour, neither able to convince the other.
Tao Mimi was furious. She shouted, "Why don't we find the other people in the crew and see what they have to say?"
Director Wei, panting heavily, took a sip of water handed to him by his assistant, put down the glass, and said, "Okay! I'll find the others and see what they have to say."
Before long, both the busy and the not-so-busy crew members were gathered on this side.
Xu Yanyu sat on a chair to the side, and she was also quite curious about what the public liked.
Tao Mimi stood on a stone pillar and quickly recounted the views of both sides.
After she finished speaking, the crowd below began to discuss quietly.
"Based on the previous episodes, I think Duan Zhuangnian did a pretty good job as Yongli. He portrayed that wicked and arrogant spirit very well."
Xu Yanyu's portrayal of Liu Jing was also quite good; she was both ethereal and kind...
This couple is really compelling; everything the screenwriter changed is exactly what I wanted to see. However, I think it would be better if Duan Zhuangnian contacted Liu Jing anonymously; that subtle, clandestine feeling is really sweet and makes the relationship more exciting.
The stylist was the first to speak up and share her thoughts, looking at Tao Mimi with admiration.
Tao Mimi's modification completely hit the sweet spot in her heart.
Another female colleague chimed in, "Who suggested filming a bed scene between Yongli and Liu Jing? Don't you know that when we read novels, once the male and female leads sleep together, we lose all interest in reading further?"
This couple was determined not to be together, so one redeemed the other, while the other silently protected the best.
Tao Mimi didn't tell everyone that the other opinion was suggested by Director Wei, so the crew members' expressions of their own views were completely from their hearts.
Another person chimed in, "Yes, Yongli is the kind of person who has wronged everyone in the world, except for Liu Jing."
