"I don't agree with you."

After hearing Ning Chuchu's calm yet slightly forceful words, Feng Yifan was obviously stunned and asked in confusion: "Ah... then what do you think?"

Ning Chuchu silently looked into Feng Yifan's clear eyes and thought a lot in an instant.

Feng Yifan may seem soft and easy to bully, but he has an almost crazy obsession with his work, and no one can touch his bottom line.

If she insisted on using her status as an investor to pressure him and force him to give her the role of the heroine, Feng Yifan would definitely not agree.

At that time, not only would the two of them quarrel, causing her to lose an opportunity to invest in a good movie and make a lot of money, but she would also become grudges with a new director with great potential, leaving many hidden dangers for her future.

Even the movie star Pei Wang admired Feng Yifan's persistence in his own way, so she couldn't force Feng Yifan, otherwise she would lose Pei Wang's favor.

Therefore, Ning Chuchu cannot show off her power as a financial investor in front of Feng Yifan, and can only use her strength to "conquer" him and make him recognize her as the heroine.

Seeing that Feng Yifan had already agreed, Ning Chuchu could actually be patient for a while, and after the role was decided, she could slowly tell him her opinion on the role.

Although doing so might seem like an intentional attempt to deceive Feng Yifan, it would at least ensure that she got the role.

But Ning Chuchu just heard a few words from the system, and suddenly the blood rushed to her head, and she didn't want to care about anything anymore.

Perhaps she had been spoiled by the system for some time and had become accustomed to speaking her mind recklessly. In short, she simply could not stand any "grievance" now.

She doesn't want to be an actor who only agrees with the director and has no opinions of her own. She has her own understanding of the role of Bai Xi, and she wants to express her views openly.

Besides, ideas are extremely subjective and there is no such thing as right or wrong.

Feng Yifan is the director, and he should be the one who knows the script and the characters best, but who says... that the director's ideas are always right?

Ning Chuchu's eyes were burning, and at this moment, it seemed as if a fire was burning in her heart.

Ning Chuchu calmed herself down and said, "I think your understanding of Bai Xi is too idealistic. You gave her a reasonable reason for turning evil at the end of the film. To some extent, the plot and the logic of the characters are fulfilled, but..."

"I think this treatment greatly weakens the impact of Bai Xi's character and also weakens her charm."

Feng Yifan was slightly startled when he heard this, and then his expression became a little strange. He turned his head unconsciously to look at his partner, and sure enough, the lazy and sloppy man had suddenly sat up straight, looking at Ning Chuchu with sharp eyes.

Now that the words have been spoken, Ning Chuchu no longer hides them and speaks out her understanding of the heroine Bai Xi. "I think Bai Xi is a simple and pure villain. She is good at calculating and hunting, and she enjoys the feeling of playing with people in her hands."

"Perhaps she is even more perverted than the villain in the movie." Ning Chuchu touched her chin and said thoughtfully, "I think it would be more exciting to portray Bai Xi as a pure villain and let her lure everyone into her trap step by step."

Seeing Feng Yifan frowning and trying to refute her, Ning Chuchu added: "Of course, if the character is portrayed this way, the role of Bai Xi will seem a little thin, and giving her a tragic life story will arouse more empathy from the audience."

Feng Yifan immediately nodded to show his agreement.

Ning Chuchu shrugged and said helplessly: "But I personally prefer to create a female protagonist who is extremely smart, calm, ruthless and crazy."

"There is a lack of such heroines in current TV dramas and movies. I think it will be very attractive."

Ning Chuchu is really tired of this kind of character who becomes evil because of some hardship. She likes pure crazy and evil girls!

Seeing Feng Yifan's unfriendly expression and his eyes full of disapproval of her, Ning Chuchu's heart strangely calmed down.

At this moment, she forgot all her worries and felt only a hearty joy in her heart.

As expected, she had been accustomed to the truth system and did not want to "compromise" at any time.

Moreover, she really liked the script of "Hunter" and admired the character of Bai Xi. If Feng Yifan was allowed to shoot according to his current ideas, she would feel...heartbroken as if she was watching a treasure being destroyed.

So she spoke out regardless of the consequences.

Be yourself, say what you want to say. Be free and happy, do whatever you want... She seemed to vaguely understand what the system meant.

Feng Yifan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, another voice suddenly interrupted, "I agree with Miss Ning's opinion!"

The sloppy man who had been sitting lazily and quietly suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Ning Chuchu, and stared at her with burning eyes.

"Hello, my name is Jing Zian, and I'm the screenwriter of "Hunter." The sloppy man introduced himself excitedly.

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows in surprise and greeted him with a smile.

Then, she actually saw Feng Yifan silently step back and give Jing Zian some space to talk to Ning Chuchu. He didn't care that the director was stealing the show, he just frowned and thought about something.

Ning Chuchu was even more surprised when she saw this. She originally thought that Jing Zian was at best a quiet wallflower, and the heroine was determined only by Feng Yifan's wishes. But now it seems that... this screenwriter named Jing also seems to have a lot of say?

After the two of them got to know each other briefly, Jing Zian changed his previous lazy and indolent look and talked to Ning Chuchu with great energy about his views, "Actually, Miss Ning, the script you have in your hand now is a revised one, not the original version."

Feng Yifan interjected, "It was mainly me who made the changes."

"In my initial conception, the heroine Bai Xi is exactly like what you think, a scheming, almost crazy woman. All the preparations I made in the early stages, whether it was Bai Xi's pity or her weakness, were to make the reversal at the end more impactful, so that readers would remember this character and this movie deeply."

Jing Zian became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining as he looked at Ning Chuchu, "Miss Ning, you really understand me so well, you are my soulmate!"

"The role of Bai Xi is suitable for you!"

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Although she and Feng Yifan have different opinions, she unexpectedly catches the eye of this mysterious screenwriter. After all, they are both regarded as close friends by each other, so whether he is a director or a screenwriter, it shouldn't matter... right?

Ning Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Feng Yifan with deliberate hesitation, "Of course I'm happy to play Bai Xi, but Director Feng...?"

Feng Yifan frowned, his expression showing a bit of bitterness and resentment, and it was obvious that he was not as satisfied with Ning Chuchu as he was just now.

Just when Ning Chuchu was getting worried, Jing Zian made the decision, "I wrote the script, so why can't I decide on the female lead?"

Jing Zian glanced at Feng Yifan and said calmly, "If he insists on refusing, I will not cooperate with him and will directly take this script to find another director to cooperate with."

He then began to discuss with her seriously, "Will you be willing to join me then?"

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a happy arc appeared at the corner of her lips, "Of course I am willing!"

She waved her hand proudly and said seriously, "When the time comes, I will withdraw my investment from Feng Yifan and invest in you instead. Is two hundred million enough? If not, add more!"

Jing Zi'an nodded in surprise, "That's enough, that's enough! Thank you, Miss Ning! I will try my best to make the heroine more outstanding and give you more highlights!"

Ning Chuchu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all the anger she had suffered from Feng Yifan, that stubborn guy, had been released.

Look at Jing Zian's realization. This is the right attitude to treat a financial sponsor! In comparison, the stubborn and stubborn Feng Yifan seems particularly unlovable.

Fortunately, she thought twice and risked angering Feng Yifan by speaking out what was in her heart. As a result, she unexpectedly received strong support from the screenwriter of the film.

After all, what Ning Chuchu really values ​​is the script of "Hunter". As for the director Feng Yifan... he is a new director and Ning Chuchu really doesn't know how good he is.

So, as long as we can keep the screenwriter Jingzi An in the fold, the director Feng Yifan... doesn't seem to be that important. :)

Ning Chuchu suddenly felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

She and Jing Zi'an happily reached a consensus, which stunned Feng Yifan. He collapsed and said, "Hey, please respect me!"

Ning Chuchu tilted her head in confusion and deliberately asked, "Did anyone speak just now?"

Jing Zian chuckled, "Don't worry about him! Miss Ning, please come this way. I want to talk to you more about the script. My original idea for "Hunter" was this..."

Jing Zi'an and Ning Chuchu chatted and laughed as they walked towards another room together. The atmosphere between them was extremely harmonious.

Feng Yifan stared at their backs in amazement. After a long while, he hurriedly trotted to catch up and shouted complainingly, "Wait for me!"

He followed the two of them with a resentful look on his face. Miss Ning had been very fond of him before. Not only did she invest a lot of money in him, but she also agreed to his audition for the female lead.

Miss Ning, a wealthy investor, was actually willing to compete fairly and audition for the role of the female lead. Feng Yifan was very moved by this and felt that Miss Ning must have seen his talent and potential, which is why she respected him so much.

Of course, I couldn't help feeling a little proud.

But in the blink of an eye... Miss Ning was caught up in Jing Zi'an's trap. The two of them even blatantly discussed how to "sideline" him!

Feng Yifan was depressed.

However, after this experience, he no longer dared to use Qiao again. Not only did he immediately decide on Ning Chuchu as the heroine, he also seriously considered her opinions and reflected on himself.

Ning Chuchu glanced at Feng Yifan and an unfathomable smile appeared on her face.

It turns out that people still have to go through a beating before they can become cute~

Moreover, Ning Chuchu never expected that the effect of speaking her "inner thoughts" would be even more surprising than relying on cheating the system to reveal the "truth".

When she spoke her mind freely, she not only felt better, but also unexpectedly won the appreciation of screenwriter Jing Zi'an, which allowed her to take the initiative in front of Feng Yifan.

This feeling is so refreshing!

"Tong, thank you!" Ning Chuchu thanked the system with a smile.

If the system hadn't reminded her, she might not have made up her mind to speak out what was in her heart.

If she had chosen to conceal her true thoughts and rely on catering to Feng Yifan's wishes to get the heroine, one can imagine how many disagreements they would have encountered in their subsequent cooperation, which would have been very frustrating.

However, the system said seriously: "But host, the reason why you can get Jing Zian's appreciation is because you have been studying the script and figuring out the role during this period of time, so you can have such insights."

"This is all your own work, no need to thank me!"

The system's voice was as cute as ever. It touched Ning Chuchu's heart, but made her fall silent for a moment.

This is the second time the system has reminded her.

Previously, she attributed her successful date with actor Pei Wang to the fact that the truth system helped her find the right method. However, the system told her that, in the final analysis, Pei Wang was moved by her performance in "Swordsman".

The person she should really thank is herself.

Now it's like this again.

She thought that the success was all thanks to the system, but the system told her that it was all achieved through her own efforts.

Ning Chuchu thought about it carefully. The inner thoughts she just said were actually the result of her studying the script for a long time, not the "truth" she directly learned by cheating the system.

So... it seems that her success is really due to herself?

This guess made Ning Chuchu's heart beat slightly faster.

Ning Chuchu's attitude towards the system has changed several times. At first, she was extremely repulsive and disgusted by this system that forced her to tell the truth. She firmly believed that it would harm her, so she tried every means to circumvent the principle of "must tell the truth".

It was not until she gained tangible benefits from telling the truth that she half-heartedly accepted the existence of the system and began to deliberately explore the various "BUGs" in the system.

Afterwards, during the time when she was taking advantage of the system, she unknowingly developed a better relationship with this cute and deceptive little system, and became more and more dependent on the system's help.

She once thought that the reason she was able to get unexpectedly good results after speaking the truth so brazenly was because of the system's inexplicable "good luck buff for telling the truth."

But twice in a row, the system deliberately reminded her that the reason she was able to achieve success was ultimately due to her own efforts.

Could it be that...the reason why the truth system forces her to tell the truth is actually to make her "be herself and say what she wants to say"?

At this moment, Ning Chuchu suddenly realized the difference between "truth" and "what's in her heart".

She has changed a lot recently, but it seems it's not enough.

Maybe she should try to be more forthcoming, more... outgoing.

Ning Chuchu followed Jing Zi'an thoughtfully. When they entered a private meeting room, she quickly withdrew her thoughts and discussed the script with them.

This time, Ning Chuchu not only won the leading role of "Hunter" as she wished, but most importantly, her mentality became more open.

She became increasingly aware of the significance of the truth system asking her to "tell the truth."

Be yourself...

That night, Ning Chuchu was thinking about this matter over and over again, when suddenly a phone call interrupted her thoughts.

She picked up her phone and frowned irritably when she saw the name on the caller ID.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally picked up the phone, her tone very cold, "Hello?"

There was silence for a long time before Ning Guangzhong's cautious voice came, "Chu Chu, how are you doing recently?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm busy." Ning Chuchu said coldly. She was too lazy to deal with this irresponsible scumbag father any more.

Ning Guangzhong choked for a long time before he said awkwardly: "Chu Chu, Dad just cares about you..."

"I'm hanging up."

"Don't!" Ning Guangzhong raised his voice anxiously. He was filled with endless doubts and sadness. They were obviously biological father and daughter, and should have been the closest people in the world. How could it suddenly come to this?

Moreover, Chuchu was obviously very considerate and obedient before, why did she suddenly become so cold and frowning towards him and have such a bad face?

Ning Guangzhong was puzzled, but he had no time to think about it. He could only take advantage of Ning Chuchu's phone call to quickly explain his purpose, "Chuchu, in a while... your Aunt Yun will have a birthday party, will you come back to attend?"

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she calmly replied, "Yes."

Stepmother's birthday... sounds like a perfect occasion for some trouble. :)

Ning Chuchu originally thought that Ning Guangzhong called her just for this matter, but unexpectedly, after getting her promise to go back, Ning Guangzhong first breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

Something that could make my scumbag father feel so guilty...

Ning Chuchu's face darkened slightly, and she asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Ning Guangzhong struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said carefully: "Chu Chu, um...your Aunt Yun has been ill recently, and she is very ill..."

A hint of fierceness flashed across Ning Chuchu's narrow peach blossom eyes, and her fingers holding the mobile phone tightened, but she just listened quietly to Ning Guangzhong's chatter without interrupting him.

After talking about how miserable and sad Yun Shu was, Ning Guangzhong finally showed his true colors. "Your Aunt Yun is old now. She doesn't have much property, so she feels uneasy. That's why she's been dragged down by her mental illness."

"She was obsessed with something because she felt insecure at first... Now she really knows she was wrong, so dad wants to give her some property to support herself. What do you think?" Ning Guangzhong carefully sought the opinion of his daughter.

Now, Ning Guangzhong has realized the reality that his step-wife and biological daughter will probably never live in peace. But he can't give up either of them, so he can only try to find a balance between the two with a headache.

Ning Chuchu didn't get angry when she heard that. Instead, she raised the corners of her lips slowly. But the smile didn't reach her eyes at all, and there was a chill in her eyes.

I thought I could teach Yun Shu a lesson last time and make her behave herself for a while, but I didn't expect that even the leverage she had in her hand couldn't scare this skilled and courageous stepmother, and she started to do something behind her back so soon?

Ning Chuchu's eyes were cold, but her words were not vague, "Dad, are you getting old and confused? Have you forgotten so quickly how she secretly transferred your property?"

"You really have the guts to raise a tiger to cause trouble, don't you?" Ning Chuchu's words were as sharp as a knife, and she had no respect for Ning Guangzhong as a father. "Since you are so forgetful, you might as well hand over all your property to me as soon as possible, so that it won't benefit those with evil intentions."

Ning Guangzhong was a little embarrassed and said stubbornly: "Chu Chu, how can you say that? Your Aunt Yun really knows she is wrong..."

"Alright." Ning Chuchu was impatient to waste her time talking to this soft-hearted father, and said directly with a cold face, "Since you are determined to give Yunshu some money, it is not impossible. I can even return all the properties that you took back from her name and then transferred to my name to her."

Although Ning Chuchu seemed easy to talk to, Ning Guangzhong somehow sensed a hint of impending storm from her words. He was immediately frightened, "No, no, no, Chuchu, what daddy gave you is yours, how can I ask you to give it back..."

Ning Chuchu sneered and said coldly, "There's no need to talk about these nonsense."

"You want to give Yun Shu more assets? Sure!" Ning Chuchu smiled meaningfully, "But I have one condition. You should give some of your assets to Aunt Yun as a gift on her birthday."

"When the time comes, I, as her stepdaughter, will also give her a 'big gift'." Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Ning Guangzhong was happy at first that Ning Chuchu had agreed, but then he became a little hesitant, "It's still some time before her birthday, but she's not feeling well right now..."

Ning Chuchu laughed and said, "Since she can't die, let her wait."

Ning Guangzhong: “…Okay.”

He thought about it and decided that it was rare for his daughter to agree to this request, so he would try his best to obey her on other conditions. It was just a delay of a few days anyway.

After the agreement was made, Ning Chuchu hung up the phone with a calm expression.

After a long while, she sneered, "Yun Shu is quite capable..."

She played her stupid dad around.

But it was this situation that made Ning Chuchu even more confused.

Ning Guangzhong is a businessman who only cares about profit and values ​​his business and property more than anything else. Last time when Yun Shu's private transfer of property was exposed, Ning Guangzhong said he would do anything to protect her and not let her go to jail, which made Ning Chuchu very confused and felt that this was not the character of a bad father.

It is even more outrageous now. After what happened just now, Ning Guangzhong can still safely hand over his property to Yunshu... He is so stupid that he doesn't seem like a smart father like her.

So, what kind of magic does Yun Shu have that can make Ning Guangzhong compromise and soften his heart again and again?

In other words, what kind of past and relationship does Yun Shu have that could make Ning Guangzhong protect her in every way?

Ning Chuchu's face was serious, and she directly verified: "Yun Shu... is not Ning Guangzhong's biological mother."

System: “……??? What are you talking about!?”

Ning Chuchu sighed softly, shrugged and smiled, "I just don't understand why my stupid father is so 'filial' to Yun Shu. It turns out that he is not Yun Shu's biological son!"

System: “…Who would think in that direction!” This host is hopeless!

"Just a joke to relax." Ning Chuchu said with a smile.

If she didn't try to laugh herself out of misery, she would be so angry at her stupid father that she would roll her eyes.

Ning Chuchu quickly stopped smiling and thought seriously: It seems that I still need to study the past entanglements between Yunshu and Ning Guangzhong thoroughly before I can understand why Yunshu can easily control Ning Guangzhong.

If you can't hit Yunshu's weak spot, she will keep jumping around and it's really annoying.

Ning Chuchu now had a system and thought that nothing in the world could stump her, so she spoke confidently.

"Ning Guangzhong was so tolerant of Yun Shu because he felt guilty."

The guess was smoothly said out loud, Ning Chuchu was shocked and continued to explore in this direction.

"Ning Guangzhong feels guilty towards Yunshu because... she is not in good health."

Ning Chuchu was silent for a moment. This reason... made sense, but it was obviously not what she wanted to know!

She didn't believe it and continued to try.

"Ning Guangzhong always tolerates Yun Shu because... she knows how to act pitiful."

"Yun Shu is too scheming and always manages to fool Ning Guangzhong."

…

Ning Chuchu tried for a long time, but in the end all she got were some truths that were neither painful nor itchy, but she couldn't get to the core at all.

Ning Chuchu frowned and sighed in frustration. It seems that the truth system is not omnipotent.

When the information she currently has is too little, she cannot grasp the core truth across many logical chains.

When she puts forward a premise, the system will always only tell her the most superficial truth, but the deeper reasons cannot be explored.

However, she knew too little about the past. Both her biological parents and Yun Shu kept silent about it, so she couldn't use precise qualifiers. This resulted in the so-called "truth" she obtained being weird and irrelevant.

Ning Chuchu sighed faintly, "Tong, you've learned a lot."

System: “Hehehehehe…”

Ning Chuchu let out a "tsk" and pondered silently.

So...what should she do?
