"Then let's put this matter on hold for now. I'll get back to you after Mr. Xiao and I have finalized our decision." Lu Wanzheng felt this was an opportunity; a live stream should attract a lot of viewers...
“There’s another script,” Yao Zijun said, picking one out from a pile of papers and handing it over. “The production company contacted me directly, wanting you to play the female lead in this drama. I’ve already looked into it; the investors have provided ample funding, so the production quality should be quite high. The story is adapted from a novel.”
Lu Wanzheng took a look. This drama was adapted from a fantasy novel. Both the props and the post-production were big productions. However, the market for fantasy dramas has not been very good in recent years. The final result of this drama is really hard to say. If this drama flops in the end, then the time she spent filming it will have been wasted.
"Sister Yao, do you have the script for this book?"
“Yes, Xiaohua, go print it out.” Yao Zijun took out a USB drive containing the original script sent by the producer.
Xiao Hua got up and took the USB drive. "I'll go now." She quickly walked out of Yao Zijun's office. There was a printer in the corner of the common office. Xiao Hua didn't go far.
"Then I'll go and read the novel that this drama is based on first, and then we'll discuss whether or not I should take the role."
Lu Wanzheng went directly to the platform where the novel was published. The first few dozen chapters were free, but then it started charging.
She sat on the sofa and started reading from the beginning. The book was called "Reborn Female Supporting Character: Cultivation and Promotion Record".
...Well, the title itself isn't very appealing. Does anyone actually read a book like this?
Looking at the number of people who have added this book to their favorites, there are only about five thousand.
With only 5,000 people collecting it, how did it manage to be adapted into a TV series? Is there something unique about it that attracted investors?
She didn't read the comments below because it would give her a preconceived notion and affect her overall impression of the film.
She flipped through the pages one by one, faster and faster, and soon she reached the part that required payment.
Lu Wanzheng: "..."
Will anyone actually read this book?
She didn't even bother subscribing; she just exited and read the comments, which were mostly complaints about the show, such as: elementary school level writing, rough and vulgar plot, and overused jokes that no one seems to know how to come up with something new...
It must be said that the eyes of the masses are discerning.
Xiao Hua came in carrying a large stack of papers. "Sister Yao, it's all here." She had already bound them into a book for Lu Wanzheng to read.
Lu Wanzheng didn't take the script from Xiaohua's hand, but instead asked her to put it on the table. "Sister Yao, I want to ask who the screenwriter of this drama is."
"Screenwriter, let me see." The announcement clearly stated this, but no one had noticed it before. Yao Zijun glanced at it and saw a complete stranger, someone she had never heard of in the industry. How could such a big production be handled by an unknown screenwriter?
For a moment, she felt that this drama was somewhat unreliable.
"She's a screenwriter named Su Su, but I've never heard of that name before, and I don't know if it's a pen name or her real name."
Su Su?
Lu Wanzheng opened the novel she had closed. The name of the person sitting on the first page was displayed: Su Su.
She pushed the phone toward Yao Zijun, "I think it's a pen name, look." Lu Wanzheng pointed to the name of the person sitting, "She's the one sitting in this book."
