Then Zhang Ying looked at Director Wei with a smile and said, "Director Wei, I am a well-regarded actress in the industry."
When you asked me to act, didn't you think I was capable of handling the role?
Why are you asking me these questions instead? I've been dragging things out of our production for so long, have I uttered a single complaint?
Xu Yanyu looked at Zhang Ying and finally realized that this woman was not someone to be trifled with, which was why she had achieved her current status.
When the assistant director saw that many of the empty bottles next to Director Wei's table were gone, he knew things were doomed.
He quickly stepped forward and reminded him, "Hey, Director Wei, look how late it is now. Don't you still need to give Yan Yu acting instructions?"
Director Wei glanced at Zhang Ying and said somewhat irritably, "Fine, you're right."
I'll say it again: in the end, whatever work you present to the audience will determine their response.
I know that people in the industry are all driven by fame and fortune. If you don't take advantage of your fame to make a lot of money... you all feel like you're missing out.
"Fine... I can't be bothered with you. Just make sure you film the rest of the scenes well."
As he himself said, Director Wei will take responsibility for his work.
He was well aware that the falling out between the director and the lead actor would greatly affect his future work.
He pinched his thigh and felt the alcohol in his head subside a little.
The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he hadn't completely lost his mind.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, but they could hear the helplessness in Director Wei's words.
Zhang Ying's gaze involuntarily turned to Xu Yanyu.
Audience feedback...
She felt a pang of anxiety; the audience was definitely not stupid.
In the same drama, what the audience likes to do most is to compare the acting skills of the actors in the same drama.
She felt that... Liu Jing shouldn't be played by Xu Yanyu.
Zhang Ying flipped through the script again and carefully photographed the revised version of Liu Jing's script.
She opened the VX software and found the chat interface with Xi Rubao.
She arranged the photos she had taken in order and then sent them all to Xi Rubao.
She remembered that Xi Rubao really liked the character Liu Jing.
Xi Rubao would probably prefer the revised script.
On the other side, Director Wei pulled Xu Yanyu and Duan Nianzhuang aside to discuss the script.
As he said, he is responsible for his work and hopes that everyone in his crew can understand the emotions of the characters.
It wasn't until nearly 11 o'clock that Director Wei finished explaining tomorrow's scenes.
Xu Yanyu returned to the hotel, intending to wash up and rest.
She suddenly remembered something; she still needed to talk to Gao Lichang about the background music.
However, she didn't know if Gao Lichang was still awake.
However, she could also leave a message for Gao Lichang first.
She opened WeChat and sent a message.
"Brother Gao, I recently took on a new job, providing music for a film crew."
I have a song here that would be perfect for you to sing. Would you like to join me in this gig?
Just as Xu Yanyu was about to turn off her phone, Gao Lichang was still awake.
He replied to Xu Yanyu's message almost immediately.
[I'll take it! I'll definitely take your job!]
By the way, Yan Yu, have you seen the U-list?
Our song's ranking has climbed again. And now, you can frequently see our songs on Douyin (TikTok).
[At this rate, I feel that "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" has a good chance of breaking into the top ten of the U-Chart.]
Xu Yanyu's lips twitched a few times as she looked at Gao Lichang's reply.
This guy didn't even look at what song she wanted him to sing before immediately agreeing to take on her job.
However, Gao Lichang mentioned the U-list again, and Xu Yanyu casually opened the U-list rankings.
She was surprised to find that J KE's girl group song, which had been in the top three of the U chart, had dropped to eighth place.
Her duet with Gao Lichang, "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," has already reached number sixteen.
Therefore, her song was only eight places behind Kim Soo-mi's song.
Xu Yanyu knew that her song rankings were rising, but she didn't understand why the songs of Kim Soo-mi's girl group were constantly falling.
If a song makes it onto the charts, it will usually stay there for about twenty days.
Although a song's ranking may fluctuate, it won't drop that much in a single day.
Xu Yanyu didn't understand, so she casually sent a voice message to Gao Lichang to ask.
Sure enough, the next second Gao Lichang stopped typing and started calling directly.
Gao Lichang said mysteriously, "J KE girl group got into some trouble today. Someone on the internet revealed that the song they posted on the U chart plagiarized part of the arrangement of a song by a niche singer in W country."
"Huh? That song has been on the charts for so long, how come it took so long for someone to break the news?" Xu Yanyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Gao Lichang became even more excited when Xu Yanyu asked this question.
"This matter is somewhat related to you."
Gao Lichang's voice rose a few decibels.
Xu Yanyu was stunned. She had been busy filming all day and hadn't done anything.
Before Xu Yanyu could ask further, Gao Lichang said to himself, "Do you remember that the singing competition had an international voting platform?"
“I remember,” Xu Yanyu replied.
"During the competition that day, some people from Korea tried to buy votes from people from India, but later the people from India cheated the Koreans."
"These people have been hurling insults at each other online these past two days. Koreans are accusing Indians of being shameless swindlers and cheaters, while Indians are accusing Koreans of stealing everything."
"Then, while they were arguing, the Indians discovered that the song by the Kim Soo Girls Group was suspected of plagiarism."
"So the song's ranking kept dropping. To be honest, this mistake really has nothing to do with Kim Soo-mi and the others; it's mainly because the people at their company who selected the song didn't check it properly."
