She, Xu Yanyu, is neither a screenwriter nor a director.
She was just the actress who played the most pitiful and heartbreaking character, Liu Jing.
Xu Yanyu felt perfectly justified.
Director Wei scratched his head and looked at the assistant director, "Isn't this kind of change unethical?"
"Shameless! Utterly shameless. Yongli was already in a terrible state, and you still let him die, all for Liu Jing's sake."
"You've really lost your morals. Just thinking about how miserable he is makes me want to cry even more." The assistant director looked at Xu Yanyu reproachfully.
Xu Yanyu tossed her hair and turned her head to one side.
Director Wei stared intently at the assistant director, noticing his red and swollen eyes, which were starting to well up with tears.
He slammed his hand on the table and said firmly, "It has to be changed to the ending Xu Yanyu said. Making the audience happy is useless; what's successful is making them feel uneasy for a long time! I'll take as many razor blades as they want to send."
"Yes! That's it! Damn! Your revision is brilliant." After regaining her composure, Tao Mimi snatched the notebook from Xu Yanyu's hand and picked up her pen to continue writing.
The assistant director advised, "Zhang Ying and the others' ending scenes have already been filmed. If the ending is changed, we'll have to reshoot them."
That scene required a lot of extras; reshooting it would be very expensive.
"It's nothing, I'll ask Producer Qian for the money," Director Wei said dismissively, not taking it seriously.
The assistant director's persuasion was in vain. As the increasingly mournful strains of "Peach Blossom Island" played, he could only shed a tear for the audience.
This time, Tao Mimi revised it much faster.
After she finished revising it, she slammed the script on the table with great satisfaction, saying, "This will be the most successful script I have ever written."
My story will surely leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.
I want them to shed tears whenever they think of Yongli and Liu Jing.
Director Wei excitedly added, "I also think it's very well written. Let's go eat and celebrate!"
Tao Mimi's revised script, paired with the background music provided by Xu Yanyu, will surely leave the audience with a lasting impression.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Xu Yanyu quickly picked up the computer she had just placed on the table.
She still has one piece of background music that she hasn't played yet.
She said to Director Wei, "We only played one song just now, can we play another piece of background music now?"
Tao Mimi said, "Yes, there's one more song. Let's listen to it before we leave."
Tao Mimi, clutching her notebook, looked at Xu Yanyu with great anticipation.
“Oh, right, right… I’d like to listen to the song about eternal destruction again. But since the ending has been changed, can your song still be used?” Director Wei, who had stood up, sat down again.
"My songs are still usable."
Xu Yanyu kept swiping on the control panel until she finally found the song she had prepared.
She paused for a moment and said to Director Wei, "This is a love song called 'One Thousand and One Nights.' However, it only has an instrumental version and requires vocals."
Because of the tight schedule, Xu Yanyu didn't have time to ask Brother Gao for help with the recording.
Yes, Xu Yanyu does not plan to sing this song herself.
She had originally prepared the theme song, but Director Wei asked her to prepare the background music for "Eternal Farewell" at the last minute. After thinking about it for a long time, she still felt that this song was more suitable.
Her words piqued Director Wei's interest.
Xu Yanyu didn't waste any words and clicked on the song "One Thousand and One Nights".
This is a song with a special flavor, written by Tai Zhengxiao.
There is also a Cantonese version of this song, titled "The Legend of Love".
Xu Yanyu played the Chinese version.
Soft, melancholic music begins, with a very catchy intro.
Director Wei nodded slowly; the opening was very captivating.
Tao Mimi couldn't help but move closer to Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu took a deep breath, and as the prelude ended, she slowly began to sing.
She always remained silent, waiting until dusk until the first light of dawn.
[Plucking at the stringless zither in my arms, I witness the passing of autumn and spring in solitude, as promises drift away with the wind.]
...
As Xu Yanyu sang, the audience seemed to see a figure who was devotedly protecting her lover.
A man quietly observes the woman he likes in his own way.
But the woman was unaware of such a person's existence; her heart may have belonged to someone else, to something else entirely.
It's so heartbreaking to hear.
Xu Yanyu deliberately lowered her voice when singing this song, but she still felt that she was not suitable to sing it.
She simply couldn't sing the kind of love, the kind of longing and protective feelings in this song.
She loves money and lying around doing nothing. She simply couldn't dedicate her entire life to another person.
That's why she felt this song was perfect for Gao Lichang to sing.
However, there's no other way; if she wants to win over Director Wei, she has to sing herself first.
Fortunately, she has excellent singing skills, and she used her singing skills to replace the emotional ups and downs.
So overall, the song's beauty was still conveyed.
Anyway, the assistant director was quite engrossed in listening.
He clapped his hands as he looked at Xu Yanyu with a melancholy expression.
What a perfect match! Yongli has always been silently watching over Liu Jing.
Especially that phrase about the person in one's dreams, still no news has arrived.
How can I send a message? You, Yongli, don't even dare to show your face.
The assistant director felt increasingly distressed as he listened, then he thought of the ending that Xu Yanyu had just changed.
A sword, a katana.
When Director Wei heard the climax, he suddenly patted the assistant director on the shoulder, and he began to understand why the assistant director was so sentimental.
He also started to become a bit sentimental.
Tao Mimi, who was standing to the side, took out a script, and then pulled out a pen...
"What are you doing?" Director Wei saw Tao Mimi's actions and quickly went over to her, pressing her hand down.
