Chapter 184- Crew Meeting
As someone who traveled through time and didn't know much about the entertainment industry, I really had no impression of Wu Kui or anything like that.
"Oh, I'm the assistant screenwriter, my last name is Shi, nice to meet you." Shi Feiye said politely.
"Ms. Shi, you're so young and yet you're already an assistant screenwriter. You're truly talented." Wu Kui lied with his eyes open. How could he know if Shi Feiye had any talent?
"I don't deserve it. I don't know who you are." Shi Feiye would ask questions whenever possible to someone he didn't know.
Wu Kui was stunned for a moment: "I am Wu Kui."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Wu..." Shi Feiye's attitude was very natural, as if he was greeting someone he had just met.
Wu Kui felt a little uncomfortable. How could it be as if he didn't know him at all? It felt weird:
"Miss Shi, don't you know me?"
"Um, should I know you?" Shi Feiye felt rude after saying this and quickly added, "I'm sorry, I don't usually pay much attention to things in the entertainment industry, so I don't know many people."
Oh, if you are from a wealthy family with strict family discipline, it is indeed possible. A top student who is busy with his studies certainly doesn't have much time to care about the entertainment industry.
Wu Kui's smile became even more enthusiastic. "It's okay. I just thought that Miss Shi would know the situation of the crew in advance. It doesn't matter if she doesn't know. I am the second male lead of our show."
Second male lead? Shi Feiye looked him over, nodded, and said seriously, "You are indeed suitable for this role."
"Haha, Miss Shi is indeed a screenwriter. She knows a lot about the plot."
"She wrote this character, how could she not understand it?" Haidong, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to watch any longer and added.
As a renowned screenwriter, Hai Dong held considerable weight within the industry. After all, he held the right to cast any script he wrote, and no one would easily offend him. However, he was known for his aloofness, possessing a certain literary arrogance. Over time, few actors approached him, which only served to annoy them.
Wu Kui didn't expect Hai Dong to respond, and for a moment he felt flattered. However, when he realized what the other party said, he was quite surprised:
"Ms. Shi is the author of this novel?"
Shi Feiye hadn't expected Haidong to speak up for her, so she nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
Hai Dong glanced at Wu Kui. Even if he didn't care about the crew's affairs, he had heard a little about Wu Kui. He could see what the other party was planning at a glance. Since Shi Feiye was someone he respected, it was her business if she wanted to mess around with others. However, without knowing the situation, it was necessary for him to help her.
Wu Kui calmed down a bit after hearing Hai Dong's words. The fact that Hai Dong offered his help showed that he had gained his approval. Even if he had some plans in mind, he couldn't make them too obvious. It would be better to proceed slowly.
"If I have any questions about the role later, can I come and consult you, Miss?"
Wu Kui, who had long been accustomed to the routines of the love field, did not even have to think about it and found an excuse to facilitate contact between the two.
"Well, I'm just the author of the original text, but with Screenwriter Hai's adaptation, the characters will definitely be more full-bodied. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about filming, so if you have any questions, you can ask Screenwriter Hai. If it's really necessary, it's not too late to come back to me."
Shi Feiye was deeply suspicious that she had accidentally offended Wu Kui before. She was only an assistant screenwriter, even if she was the original author. With the main screenwriter sitting right next to her, why would she ask the assistant instead of the main screenwriter? And in front of the main screenwriter, was she afraid that she would offend him?
What kind of hatred or grudge does she have? She starts by trying to deceive screenwriter Hai?
"Screenwriter Hai will definitely be busy. I mean, if necessary, you won't be unwilling to help me, right?" Wu Kui winked playfully, "You are so beautiful, your heart must be beautiful too."
Showing weakness and then praising someone was a tactic that Wu Kui had used time and again, and he also used it on Shi Feiye.
However, Shi Feiye just wanted to laugh. She hated moral blackmail and the like. Did he think that moral blackmail and a few compliments could make her dizzy? He must have lost his mind.
"Haha, this is my first time as an assistant screenwriter. I still need to learn how to be a screenwriter, so I may not be able to help you much. If you need me, we'll see when the time comes." Shi Feiye performed Tai Chi expertly.
Haidong glanced at Shi Feiye and thought this girl was quite interesting.
After hearing what Shi Feiye said, Wu Kui looked at her with even higher regard. She was indeed a girl from a good family, not easily tricked. However, she was even better and more challenging if she had some brains.
Wu Kui was about to say something, but the director at the top had already sat down amidst the clamor of the crowd, and began to speak with a smile.
Having successfully escaped the chatter of the people around him, Shi Feiye immediately turned around and sat up straight, putting on the air of a newcomer listening attentively to the director's words. Meanwhile, he began to observe and try to memorize the director's introduction.
The heroine of this drama is Wu Chunqian, a rising star who just won the Rookie of the Year Award last year, and the hero is Zhang Yixin, a popular young actor in the past two years. The heroine looks like a fresh and innocent first love, and the hero is a typical warm and handsome young actor.
The female supporting role is Wan Fu, a famous and talented actress. Her youthful maturity is particularly suitable for this role, while the male supporting role is Wu Kui, who seems to be rebellious but also deeply affectionate and tragic.
There were other staff members left, and Shi Feiye also took note of them one by one. These people would be related to her work in the future. She didn't ask for a good relationship with them, but she just hoped not to offend them and cause them to suffer in the future.
When it was Shi Feiye's turn, Director Wang even went so far as to introduce her:
"This is Miss Shi Feiye, the original author of our drama. However, since this is her first time writing, she didn't serve as the lead writer, but chose to be an assistant writer. However, even so, if you have any questions, you can consult her. Miss Shi is a very talented person, and I hope everyone will take good care of her in the future."
Shi Feiye was flattered and quickly stood up to greet everyone and bowed:
"Hello everyone, I am Shi Feiye. I hope you will give me your guidance in my future work."
The first person to respond was Zhang Yixin: "Ms. Shi is so young and yet she can write such a work. She is truly talented. We will need your guidance in future filmings."
"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you are so polite." Shi Feiye smiled, "With screenwriter You Hai here, I am just an apprentice."
Zhang Yixin laughed, and everyone else laughed too.
From the moment he saw Shi Feiye, Zhang Yixin couldn't help but be attracted to her. There are female celebrities with gorgeous yet pure looks, but this is the first time Zhang Yixin has seen a beauty like Shi Feiye who is so natural at first glance and can blend these two characteristics so naturally.
After receiving the list, Zhang Yixin was certain that Shi Feiye wasn't an actor. He had been laughing inwardly when he saw Wu Kui chatting with her. He knew without a second thought what she was planning. It was a shame that she was around, so Wu Kui better put aside his thoughts.
It's not that he hadn't guessed that Shi Feiye's identity was not simple, but those were things that happened later. It's not like he hadn't met women with unusual identities before. With his charm and means, hadn't many of them become entangled with him?
So Zhang Yixin was waiting for Director Wang to introduce him.
Now that he had waited, Director Wang only said that Shi Feiye was the original author, but he didn't mention Shi Feiye's background, not even a hint. Either his background was too complicated to explain, or he didn't have any special background. After he had done some more research, he could decide whether to take action and how to do it.
Shi Feiye introduced the others, and Director Wang continued to introduce the others. When everyone was almost finished, Director Wang politely said a few words hoping that everyone would cooperate with each other in the future. He then asked the other key staff members to give some precautions, and everyone began to eat.
The food was all good stuff, and a table full of it would have to cost tens of thousands. But looking at the actors sitting next to them who barely touched the food, Shi Feiye understood. Everyone present was well-off, and if they really served a table of food costing a few hundred yuan, it would be a slap in the face for everyone present.
Others didn't eat, but Shi Feiye did. She ate her own food, and the people around her were amazed.
In order to maintain their figure, most beauties would eat as little as one bite of food, and celebrities are the worst offenders. Some of them only eat one piece of fruit a day. Someone like Shi Feiye who eats normally is definitely an outlier.
Even if you are not a celebrity, you wouldn't ruin your figure like this.
Shi Feiye didn't care. With delicious food right in front of her, why not eat it? If she was worried about getting fat, she could just eat less for a few days and do some extra aerobics at night.
The toasting session was inevitable, and when it was Shi Feiye's turn, Shi Feiye refused the drink, saying she was allergic to alcohol. The producer was immediately displeased, but seeing Director Wang smilingly smooth things over, the producer figured maybe Shi Feiye was someone important, so he didn't force her.
Shi Feiye also thought that the crew was really nice, unlike the crews she had been on before, where they would not let her toast unless she used some drastic measures.
Wu Kui, standing nearby, and Zhang Yixin, standing in the distance, took in the scene, each with their own thoughts. Shi Feiye was oblivious to this, continuing to eat her own food until the end of the meal.
Everyone had to leave after the event, and since the dining area was on the ground floor of the hotel, there was no question of whether to see them off or not. Shi Feiye followed the group upstairs and returned to her room.
After eating and drinking, Shi Feiye sat on the bed to rest for a while, turned on the computer to play some music, and prepared to take a shower.
Although she didn't drink, she was still permeated by the smell of alcohol on the table, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She was about to go to the bathroom with her clothes when the phone rang. She walked back and picked up the phone. There were three words on it - Qin Da Lao.
