Chapter 82 You finish your performance and I take the stage
Lu Jinzhao was surprised for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, I remember that Xu Zishan originally chose Chen Li to play the role of "Ayu", and later Xu Zishan's father bought her with an investment of 500 yuan."
Lu Jinzhao had already explained the inside story of this matter to Shen Ci once. At that time, the crew was short of investment, so this move was understandable.
Thinking of the conversation he had just had with Father Xu, Lu Jinzhao smiled even more, looking at Shen Ci and said, "It's quite interesting. At first, we had to spend money to get the role, but just now, Mr. Xu actually proposed to change the role for his daughter, saying that he couldn't bear to see his daughter play a maid, and it hurt him to see it."
"Then I definitely won't agree to a role change. Are you kidding me? I'll just promise him that Kate Tsui will have fewer kneeling scenes in the subsequent shoots. After all, it's just a maid's part, so it's harmless."
Lu Jinzhao said this with a speechless chuckle and shook his head.
Chen Ci's expression remained unchanged. After taking a sip of juice, she casually said, "Mr. Lu, what you said is not right. There are different levels of importance for maids. The role of "Ayu" is arguably the most important among the maids. Making her special will only make her look out of place."
Lu Jinzhao was such a smart man. Shen Ci's words seemed to be expressing an opinion, but in fact they were hidden targets, and Lu Jinzhao caught it in an instant.
"Then what do you think we should do, Miss Shen?" Lu Jinzhao asked tentatively.
After all, he could figure out with his toes which one was more important, an investor of 500 yuan or an investor of 10,000 yuan.
Chen Ci looked at Lu Jinzhao. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to an intelligent person. She said bluntly, expressionless, "Since you're reluctant to part with your knees, then delete her from all the group shots that require her kneeling!"
She said this calmly, but deleted nearly half of "Ayu's" shots almost at once.
Chen Ci had read the original novel. In the novel, "Ayu" was a person who appeared to be inferior but was actually dark inside. In the early stage, he was submissive and seemed honest, but in the later stage, he sold out his master for fame and fortune and betrayed his friends.
Therefore, the word "kneeling" runs through the entire play for the character of "Ayu". She kneels in the early stage and in the later stage. As a maid, there are inevitably more group shots than individual shots.
Excluding group shots, how much screen time does she have left?
Dare to bully her sister?
Ali won't fight back, as an older sister she will take action!
Lu Jinzhao knew clearly that Chen Ci would not make things difficult for Xu Zishan because of the previous incident of stealing the role, because Miss Chen had said that she would not let Chen Li play "Ayu" in the first place.
Then what he did today must be the grudges after joining the group.
Xu Zishan couldn't pick on anyone else, but she had to run into someone she was accused of!
At this time, even if Shen Ci said that she wanted to replace Xu Zishan, he would not dare to refuse. Fortunately, Miss Shen was not such a domineering person, and she left a way out for him and the crew.
Lu Jinzhao immediately called his assistant over, whispered a few words in his ear, and then gave him a look that told him to go now.
The assistant nodded in understanding and quickly left the room and went to the set.
At this time, the second scene on the set was just about to start shooting, and the assistant director was rehearsing with the actors.
"Master Hua is furious. All servants in the arena must bow their heads and kneel in silence. Then Madam Hua and Concubine Qiu will take over and speak their lines. The camera will zoom out. All actors entering the arena are not allowed to slack off. Do you understand?"
While the assistant director was talking excitedly, the director received a message from Lu Jinzhao's assistant.
He listened with a frown, then nodded to show he understood, and then called to Assistant Director Li: "Xiao Li!"
Assistant Director Li turned around upon hearing the voice, his serious expression instantly changing into a smile: "Director Ke, what's wrong?"
Director Ke raised his chin towards Kate Tsui and said, "Ah Yu doesn't need to be on camera for this scene. Let her come down."
Xu Zishan, who was reciting her lines silently in her mind, was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Director Ke and then at Assistant Director Li with a puzzled expression.
Assistant Director Li was also confused, but he knew Director Ke's personality. He hated being asked why, so he turned to Xu Zishan and said, "Shanshan, go down and rest for the afternoon scene."
Xu Zishan was shocked and said, "No...why? Director Li has lines in this scene!"
"Ah? Are there any lines?" Assistant Director Li quickly took a look at the manuscript of the scene and found that Xu Zishan did have lines.
Fearing that Director Ke might have made a mistake, Assistant Director Li shouted at him, "Director Ke, Ah Yu has lines for this scene. She can't leave, right?"
Director Ke said seriously, "Give Ah-Yu's lines to Ah-Bi. The unimportant lines are the same no matter who says them."
"A-Bi" is another maid of "Hua Xixi". The girl who plays "A-Bi" did not expect there would be an unexpected surprise and smiled happily.
Xu Zishan was not willing to accept this and wanted to argue but Director Li just shook his head at her.
When Director Ke speaks, there's no point in being anxious, it will only make him unhappy.
Xu Zishan's scenes were inexplicably deleted and she left the set angrily. She also began to doubt herself in her heart, wondering if she had accidentally upset Director Ke.
Well, you finish your performance and I will take the stage!
Just after dealing with Xu Zishan, before Shen Ci and Lu Jinzhao had a few words, Ren Jia came over.
"Mr. Lu!"
As soon as they met, no matter how popular or willful Ren Jia was, she didn't dare to question Lu Jinzhao directly, so she greeted him with a smile, hiding her anger.
When he saw Ren Jia, Lu Jinzhao frowned instinctively.
He hadn't seen Ren Jia since the press conference, but according to Miss Shen's wishes, he also instructed the publicity and promotion team to do so.
When he suddenly saw her today and thought about what she had done to Chen Li, Lu Jinzhao felt disgusted.
He knew that competition in the entertainment industry was fierce, especially among female stars. Intrigue and scheming were the norm, but the level of one's tactics revealed one's character.
Lu Jinzhao was very dissatisfied with Ren Jia's use of such underhanded means to suppress a newcomer who had not yet made a name for himself.
At this moment, Shen Li's biological sister, whom she had suppressed, was sitting next to her!
Chen Ci's appearance was even more threatening than Chen Li's. Ren Jia noticed Chen Ci at a glance, and since she was alone in a room with Mr. Lu, Ren Jia's vigilance was instinctively raised.
There are so many pretty girls, so many that it makes her angry!
She twitched the corner of her mouth calmly, and asked with a stiff but pretended casual smile, "Is Mr. Lu busy? This girl is so beautiful. Is she a new employee in our company?"
Lu Jinzhao sighed almost imperceptibly and carefully observed the changes in Shen Ci's expression. Seeing her indifferent expression, Lu Jinzhao felt uneasy.
What's wrong with you today? Do you all like to come and block the gun?
"I'm busy now. If you have nothing to do, please go back to your lounge." Lu Jinzhao said.
After all, she is an artist of his own company. Losing half a year of publicity period is already very fatal for a female star. He doesn't want Ren Jia to come to Miss Shen to show off her presence at this time.
If Miss Shen goes one step further to suppress her, will she, as the boss, agree or not?
He has it so hard!
My dears, I have created a group and look forward to chatting with you all in the group.
The group number is posted in the comments, and the introduction and the end chapter also have the function of adding to the group with one click!
