Xu Yanyu had just returned to the hotel last night when the hotel receptionist delivered a large stack of A4 papers filled with annotations.
Thinking of the pile of newly revised scripts, she could only be thankful that she had a system to cheat with.
Otherwise, most people simply couldn't withstand Director Wei's various sudden and ingenious ideas.
Xu Yanyu couldn't help but say, "Director Wei, you really think too highly of me!"
Perhaps it was because Xu Yanyu's words were too explicit that Director Wei felt embarrassed.
The script he sent over last night was one that Tao Mimi was forced to revise after he hung up on Xu Yanyu.
Seeing how much the audience wanted to see more of Liu Jing's character, he added a few more scenes for the sake of ratings.
This is a complex situation; if there are more shots in the beginning, the script for the rest will also need to be changed.
So, without realizing it, another version of the script was given to Xu Yanyu.
However, Director Wei is very experienced, and he felt that this change should not go wrong.
If it were any other actor, Director Wei wouldn't dare to make such changes so casually.
However, Xu Yanyu won him over with her acting skills during this period.
This made him realize that the limit of the character Liu Jing in this drama was not the limit of Xu Yanyu's acting skills, but the limit of his directing ability.
As filming progressed, Xu Yanyu's progress was incredibly rapid.
So he didn't need to inform Xu Yanyu beforehand about these minor changes to the script; he made them beforehand.
Director Wei smiled and said, "So I'm not asking you what kind of help you need me to provide?"
How about we film your scenes again this afternoon? That way we can give you some time to memorize your lines?
In the revised script, Xu Yanyu has the most lines.
Xu Yanyu took out the revised script from her bag, shook her head and said, "No need! I've already memorized all the lines we're filming today."
As soon as Xu Yanyu finished speaking, Director Wei turned to the assistant director next to him and said, "See! I told you before, Yanyu can definitely do it!"
Her dedication is top-notch in our show. Who can match her work ethic?
The assistant director tossed Xu Yanyu a bottle of water and couldn't help but complain, "You can't exploit people like that!"
Those lines you changed, it would take five or six hours to memorize them.
Yan Yu just got off the plane, and you won't even let her rest."
Xu Yanyu, standing next to her, blinked, wanting to explain to the assistant director that she had actually only spent about half an hour memorizing the lines.
With the help of the system, she only needs to read the lines once to memorize them completely.
Unlike other actors, you don't need to watch the show five or six times repeatedly.
This led everyone in the crew to believe that Xu Yanyu had a good work attitude.
Everyone agreed that memorizing so many lines in such a short time would probably require even sleeping time.
For example, Duan Nianzhuang and his group sitting not far away were all holding scripts and had no time to chat.
As the saying goes, "one move affects the whole situation," and since Liu Jing's script has been changed, theirs will definitely be affected as well.
So these poor souls were staring blankly at the script placed between their legs, trying to memorize their lines.
"Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"Kill the hypocritical moralists! Kill the accomplices of evil!"
"Bury him up too! Those who disturbed her don't deserve to live..."
"Oh dear, I got it wrong again! How many more people does Yongli have to kill?!"
Duan Nianzhuang held a sheet of paper in his hand, so desperate that he wanted to tear it all up.
Chang Xuan, standing nearby, muttered to himself, "I want to restore peace and order to this world..."
Chang Xuan paused for a few seconds to think, then continued reciting: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, but I refuse to believe in heaven..."
The sky and earth are clear and bright now. Would you like to watch the stars, the moon, and... manure with me? Wait, how could it be watching manure...?
"Which passage are you reciting? How could it be about looking at manure? It's about looking at the fire burning the morning glow and turning the sky red..."
Sitting next to him, Zhang Ying turned to look at Chang Xuan silently.
The two are acting out a scene together. The lines Chang Xuan is memorizing now are the same lines she just memorized.
So we really can't let him keep memorizing like this, it will lead her astray.
"Sigh, I can't memorize them all... I've changed a lot of lines, and they're all pretty awkward!"
"Why did you have to change it like this?!"
Chang Xuan buried himself in the script, wishing he could memorize every word.
Zhang Ying glanced in Xu Yanyu's direction, and her jealousy almost resurfaced.
Why else? To cater to what netizens are saying, to create an ethereal feel in the photos.
One must possess pride and capture the spirit and essence of an immortal.
Therefore, their director worked day and night to revise the script and lines.
They changed some of the lines and added several scenes for Xu Yanyu, all to create the feeling the audience wanted.
The script has been changed too much, and Liu Jing's charm has long surpassed that of the original female lead.
However, thinking back to how she had instigated Xi Rubao out of jealousy, which led to yesterday's incident, Zhang Ying still felt a little scared.
She originally just wanted Xi Rubao to use his connections to win back the role of Liu Jing.
But she didn't expect that Xi Rubao would not only not fight for the role, but also make irresponsible remarks on social media.
So even though Zhang Ying was unhappy about the numerous scenes Director Wei added for Xu Yanyu, she didn't say anything.
Duan Nianzhuang, standing nearby, said, "As long as the filming goes well, let's make the changes. I'm under a lot of pressure myself."
Our show has become popular even before it airs, and I'm quite worried that the audience's expectations are too high, and that the final product I present to them will disappoint them.
Duan Nianzhuang felt both happy and worried when he thought about the sudden increase in followers yesterday.
Yesterday, the fans of Xi Rubao and Xu Yanyu had a big online fight.
