Chapter 31 Oh wow, there's a big melon
The new drama that Si Jingyi is planning to shoot recently is called "Guilty".
A suspense film created by the talented and beautiful writer Shao Xue.
Shao Xue became famous at the age of 18. At the age of 20 this year, she has become a copyright-awarding writer.
Every book she publishes becomes a hit when it's adapted into a movie or TV series.
Therefore, the copyright of her book is very popular.
Si Jingyi wanted to buy the film and television rights to the book "Guilty", and his team had been negotiating with Shao Xue for almost half a year.
A month ago, Shao Xue finally gave in and agreed to let Si Jingyi plan the filming.
But there are prerequisites. The actors that Si Jingyi finds need to pass her test. She has strict requirements for actors and does not want traffic stars with no acting skills to ruin her book.
Si Jingyi's selection of male and female protagonists all got Shao Xue's approval.
Now, as long as a few important supporting roles are selected, he can sign a copyright agreement with Shao Xue.
"Sister-in-law, the original author of this drama has strict casting requirements, otherwise I would have directly chosen you to be the third female lead." Si Jingyi explained to Wen Yan when the sports car stopped in front of the hotel where the crew was auditioning.
Wen Yan came from Si's house and slept all the way.
She opened her sleepy eyes and said lazily, "It's just business as usual, that's fine."
With her acting skills, there is no need for her to use any backdoors.
Si Jingyi brought Wen Yan to the audition area.
Although only a few supporting roles for "Guilty" have not been confirmed, many artists have come to audition.
Almost all of them are more famous than Wen Yan.
Wen Yan drew a number card and she was the first to enter.
"Come on, sister-in-law."
Wen Yan shrugged, "Does the third girl really have a million?"
"Oh, if you think it's too little, I'll pay for more out of my own pocket."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Not less, not less."
As a director, Si Jingyi wants to be a judge.
Wen Yan was a little bored. She stood at the door and watched the performances of the artists who were auditioning in front.
The first one is the most popular actress.
She is as pure as water, and is the white moonlight in the eyes of many male fans.
Wen Yan turned on the melon-eating system.
[Oh yeah, the innocent little sister actually likes to smell the blood on her aunt's body. She has to smell it every time she changes her aunt's body, and she looks excited every time she smells it. ]
[Some time ago, the young lady secretly dated a boyfriend outside the entertainment industry. The boyfriend secretly filmed the two of them having sex. The boyfriend likes gambling and has a lot of debts. Recently, he plans to sell the young lady's video to the creditor! 】
[In order to prevent the video from being exposed, the young lady later became the creditor's canary. A few years later, she was secretly photographed by the media, and her image was completely ruined. In the end, she was furious and married the creditor's father and became the creditor's mother. Then she sent someone to crush her ex-boyfriend who was pretending to be a tadpole. 】
[Great, this is how you deal with a scumbag! ]
Si Jingyi, who was sitting on the judges' table, unconsciously squeezed his legs together.
Is the innocent and harmless Xiaohua on stage so cruel a few years later?
But she had been through so much, and she must have been forced to become so cruel in the end!
Apart from the fact that she likes to smell her aunt's name, which is a bit abnormal, her acting skills are pretty good.
He would take some time later to remind her about the secret video taken by her ex-boyfriend, to see if she could take precautions in advance.
After the second audition girl introduced herself, Wen Yan continued to watch.
[This actress has good acting skills, but she cannot be kept. She is a traitor and she also evades taxes. She will be banned in the future. If anyone wants to replace her, the show will not be broadcast in the end and they will suffer heavy losses.]
Before the second female star finished her performance, Si Jingyi crossed out her name.
An hour later, it was Wen Yan's turn to audition.
Si Jingyi gave her a short clip, and just as she was about to go on stage, there was a sudden noise at the door of the audition room.
"Director Si, you don't need to audition again. Miss Shao Xue sold the film and television rights of Guilty to me."
Wen Yan raised her lower eyelid.
A young man with a ruffian-like appearance and a rebellious look came over with a group of people.
The man is Wen Yan's second brother Wen Yiheng. He and Si Jingyi were college classmates and both became well-known directors after graduation.
The two have similar shooting styles and subjects, and their abilities are equally matched.
The two have been competitors since they started college.
This time, Si Jingyi is planning to shoot "Guilty", and people in the industry predict that he will win the Best New Director Award next year.
Wen Yiheng has been looking for a subject that is comparable to "Guilty".
But I couldn't find it after searching for more than half a year.
Just when he thought that "Guilty" would really make Si Jingyi famous in the director circle, his sister Wen Yue asked her brother to rescue Shao Xue's father Shao Weiliang.
Shao Weiliang was not only willing to cooperate with the Wen family in business, but also introduced him to his daughter Shao Xue.
Shao Xue is a talented writer. As long as he can work with her, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the director circle in the future and leave Si Jingyi far behind!
Following Wen Yiheng were Wen Yue, Shao Xue, and several young actors.
"If you want to act in Guilty, come to the next room for an audition. Ms. Shao has already sold the copyright to me."
Si Jingyi rushed over with a sullen face.
With a frown on his face, he looked at Shao Xue, "Ms. Shao, we have already agreed on this, and you have seen my sincerity, so why would you suddenly sell the copyright to Wen Yiheng?"
Shao Xue was wearing a white long skirt, with her long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders. She was quiet and gentle, with a slim figure, and had the temperament of an artistic young woman.
"Director, I'm sorry. Director Wen's eldest brother saved my family. The Wen family is our family's savior. I will cooperate with Director Wen for a long time in the future."
"It was only a verbal agreement between us, so there is no breach of contract. Please forgive me."
Si Jingyi's teeth were almost broken into pieces.
Wen Yan's chest was crossed. She leaned lazily against the door frame and chuckled, "The director's team spent a lot of energy to find actors, set up the scene, find a screenwriter to revise the script, and the media photographed him meeting you several times. They all believed that he wanted to film your "Guilty". Now you casually say that there is no breach of contract. You really have legal common sense."
Si Jingyi loves Ai Nao, but he still works hard to make progress in his career.
He was very sincere to Shao Xue. In order to meet her, he stood downstairs of her building all night. It rained that night, and he was admitted to the hospital the next day.
He mentioned signing a copyright agreement several times, but Shao Xue assured him that the film and television rights of "Guilty" would definitely be sold to him.
If she hadn't promised so solemnly, why would Si Jingyi have spent so much effort?
When Shao Xue heard Wen Yan's words, her expression changed slightly.
Wen Yiheng had seen Wen Yan a long time ago, but he always treated her as a transparent person.
He was reluctant to mention his own sister in front of outsiders.
He is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. He is rude and competitive.
She is not as good as Yueyue in everything, yet she likes to compete with her.
He thought she would be more honest after marrying into the Si family, but he didn't expect her to become even more sharp-tongued and annoying.
"Wen Yan, shut up, you have no right to speak here!"
After Wen Yiheng yelled at Wen Yan, he smiled and said to Shao Xue, "Ignore her, she's just a country bumpkin who doesn't know the rules!"
Wen Yan pulled the corner of her lower lip, "Your mouth stinks, didn't you wipe your mouth when you went to the toilet?"
puff--
Si Jingyi laughed out loud. He stood in front of Wen Yan with his tall and unruly body and protected her behind him.
"How strange! Stinky dog shit can actually talk."
When Wen Yizhu saw Si Jingyi and Wen Yan joining forces to curse him, his face turned livid.
Did Si Jingyi take the wrong medicine?
After Wen Yan married his eldest brother, it seemed that the one who disliked her the most was him!
"Si Jingyi, don't be so rude to me. Anyway, Miss Shao Xue will never cooperate with you again. If you can kneel down and beg me now and call me dad, maybe I will intercede for you and let Miss Shao Xue give you a chance to cooperate."
As soon as Wen Yiheng said this, all the actors behind him started laughing.
The veins on Si Jingyi's forehead were throbbing.
He was already ill with temper, and at this moment, his blood was boiling. Just when he was about to beat someone up, suddenly -
【Oh wow, there's a big melon! 】
Si Jingyi wanted to punch someone, but he pulled his fist back abruptly.
Wen Yiheng understood Si Jingyi's violent temper, and he had arranged for reporters to take photos in a dark corner.
As long as Si Jingyi dares to beat him, he will destroy his reputation!
