"This... Mr. Shen, didn't we agree on this back then?" Song Yihe said hurriedly.
"What did we agree on?" Shen Xuan asked coldly.
“Your name is Xiao Lü Hong, and she’s famous, isn’t that right?” Song Yihe asked, blinking.
In Director Song's eyes, as long as someone becomes famous, who cares how they became famous?
If not Meng Fangfei, then why not Director Song? Of course, Director Song himself doesn't object, but he's afraid that this rich and foolish CEO Shen will flip the table.
So, I should thank you?
"You're too kind, we're all friends, no need for thanks, it'll only hurt our feelings. Just give me another thirty million, we're all friends," Director Song said with a forced smile.
Shen Wangshu was about to die laughing.
If it weren't the middle of the night, she really wanted to enjoy the show, but it was pitch black, and she was exhausted. She quickly nudged Shen Xuan from behind, urging him to send Song Yihe away immediately. How to send him away? President Shen, seething with anger, signed a check for thirty million and gave it to his "good friend," Director Song. Watching him run off like a chubby baby, he then returned to the bedroom with Shen Wangshu, his face ashen.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He knew that Song Yihe would sell anything for the sake of the movie's box office. In order to avoid the terrible plot of "The Palace Beauty", he stayed up all night reading the script.
"How's the script?" Shen Wangshu asked as she got up early and went downstairs to have breakfast with Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan didn't sleep all day yesterday to look at the script for her. He's truly a conscientious agent!
"Not bad." Although Shen Xuan hadn't slept all night, he was in good spirits and nodded slightly.
He rarely expressed satisfaction with Song Yihe, and Shen Wangshu couldn't help but blink and look at the sun outside the hotel.
Could they have come from the west?
"Really," Shen Xuan said sincerely as he poured her a glass of warm milk.
He seems more scheming now.
"Tell me." She pinched Shen Xuan's ear.
Shen Xuan silently offered his ear to her, holding the script in his hand and mumbled, "The plot is very good, the reasoning is ingenious, the characters are well-developed, especially..."
"Especially since there's a male lead in this script, but he gets killed off as cannon fodder after only forty minutes on screen, that's even better." Meng Fangfei's laughter reached Shen Wangshu's ears. She looked quite energetic, and it seemed she had already read the script. Such dedication and meticulousness immediately made Shen Wangshu, who had slept soundly the night before, feel quite ashamed. She quickly released the dark-faced Shen Xuan, pulled Meng Fangfei to sit down beside her, and asked with a smile, "Sister Meng, you've already read it? Director Song only brought it over so late yesterday, why the rush to read it?"
Meng Fangfei smiled gracefully.
Thanks to Mr. Shen's 30 million yuan check, Director Song sang "I'm Friends with the Tycoon" all night in the hotel. His voice was loud and powerful, full of emotion and strength, so much so that Meng Fangfei almost called the police in the middle of the night.
She couldn't sleep, so she decided to get up and read a script to help her fall asleep. Who knew the script was so good that she ended up reading it all.
She had a lot to say about this play. She opened her script, waved to Shen Wangshu, and said with a smile, "This play is really good. Look, even if you don't read the final spoilers, can you figure out who the murderer is from the details before?"
Both she and Shen Wangshu had complete scripts, so she was very familiar with the whole play. She pointed out some very subtle details that would not be noticed unless deliberately pointed out or revealed at the end, and explained the play to Shen Wangshu, also to help her grasp the subtle emotional changes.
Film shooting is completely different from television drama shooting, and the requirements are much higher. Meng Fangfei explained the scene to Shen Wangshu bit by bit, which could almost be considered as teaching her.
Shen Wangshu knew, of course, that this was for her own good, and listened attentively as Meng Fangfei explained it to her.
She knew, of course, that Song Yihe valued this film highly.
The fact that a renowned director like him personally went to great lengths to handle all the filming details already speaks volumes about the problem.
With Meng Fangfei's careful explanation and her own understanding of this clever, sharp-tongued female detective who clearly needs friends but always messes things up, she was already able to roughly grasp the character in her mind.
Shen Xuan would certainly not disturb her at this time, and quietly sat beside her, watching the show with her without saying a word.
Perhaps as compensation from Director Song to his wealthy friends, there are very few male characters this time, and most of them are just cannon fodder.
The male lead was the one who lasted the longest, but he only lasted forty minutes.
Of course, there will be flashbacks and other appearances later on, but Director Song is ruthless and kills off one handsome guy after another.
To boost ratings, Song Yihe reluctantly spent a high price to hire a top-tier male star who had just won the Best Actor award and was currently very popular, to play the male lead in this urban suspense drama featuring handsome men and beautiful women.
Shen Wangshu smiled and glanced back at Shen Xuan.
Song Yihe must not squander her boss's money.
However, Song Yihe's new drama series ended very quickly. "The Palace Beauty" was airing and Shen Wangshu and his entourage had not yet left the hotel when Song Yihe couldn't wait to announce that he would start filming a new drama.
This new drama is perfectly timed, with Shen Wangshu currently enjoying immense popularity. As the intense rivalry between the Imperial Concubine and the Noble Consort in the drama intensifies, the ratings for "Beauty in the Palace" are soaring to an almost unbelievable height. It seems everyone enjoys the melodramatic plot of sisters fighting each other these days. Not only has Meng Fangfei's position in the entertainment industry become more secure, but Song Yihe has also helped launch the careers of a group of artists.
Even without mentioning Shen Wangshu, the second female lead, who was unlucky enough to have her scenes cut by Song Yihe, has steadily climbed to a higher level.
