“You are, after all, a complete newcomer. In fact, many actresses of the right age wanted to take the role. But Director Yi specifically chose you, saying that you have good acting skills, excellent action scenes, and a dedicated attitude... That’s why we came here.”
Shang Yechu immediately showed a grateful expression: "I see, thank you Director Yi!"
Zeng the Bald spoke without blushing, and Yi Tianzhao replied without blushing either: "You need to know what you're about to face."
Audience skepticism, exclusion from Yang Huanyi's fans, and scrutiny and criticism from fans of the original novel. While Shang Yechu's acting skills are undeniable, she has never played a leading role before. Roasting and rejection from various groups are likely inevitable.
Shang Yechu paused, seemingly hesitant, and did not answer immediately.
Yi Tianzhao's heart jumped—had she been scolded so much these past two days that she went crazy?! Why did she say such a thing at this time?
At least we should have waited until Shang Yechu signed the contract and got on the wrong track before making things clear!
Tu Zi was sweating profusely with anxiety: "Oh dear, Xiao Ye! Director Yi is just worrying unnecessarily! What can you possibly face? It's the New Year!"
It seems that all sides are indeed under great pressure, and Zeng Tuzi and Yi Tianzhao are busy completing their mission. They've even resorted to their old trick of trying to smooth things over during the Lunar New Year.
Jiang Shang Nongchao gently patted Shang Yechu's hand, his glasses gleaming: "I believe Xiao Yechu won't back down over such a small matter. Adversity makes one stronger!"
Shang Yechu visibly gritted her teeth, then nodded heavily: "Thank you for your trust, Teacher Jiang, Director Yi, and Teacher Zeng!"
"Thank you too, Brother Yi," Shang Yechu said to Li Yi with a shy smile. "May we have a pleasant working relationship in the future."
Li Yi's dark pupils stared at Shang Yechu's smile. After a long while, he nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Grandma Jiang scolded, "Still calling me teacher?"
Shang Yechu covered her mouth and chuckled, then said crisply, "Grandma, I won't let you down!"
“Okay. In that case, I’ll send you the script in a bit.” Yi Tianzhao finally felt a little relieved. “We’ll start work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Xiao Ye, you have about ten days to study the script carefully.”
Shang Yechu nodded, but a thought suddenly occurred to her.
"The Tale of Yun Qing" premiered on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and two days later, the second season of "The Phoenix Plays with the Dragon" began filming.
Just then, Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng spoke up again: "A new year starts with a new look, shouldn't our film also have a new look?"
Yi Tianzhao held the old man who had helped him deflect blame in extremely high regard, and hurriedly asked, "A new atmosphere? You mean?"
“I’ve been thinking about it lately, and the name ‘Tianji Tower’ isn’t good.” Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng stood up, and Shang Yechu quickly helped her up.
The old lady chuckled and patted Shang Yechu's hand. "Tianji Tower was destroyed in the last movie, which is very unlucky. Our movie is called that, no wonder it's all a mess."
Shang Yechu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
If her guess comes true, then the benefits to her will be more than ten times greater!
Shang Yechu involuntarily held her breath, and Li Yi immediately glanced at her.
“I think we should do this,” Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng said. “Since we’ve changed the female lead, let’s change the name of the movie too! Let’s start from scratch, everything is new, let’s treat it as a new series.”
"You mean not to call it 'Tianji Tower'?" Yi Tianzhao didn't have any objections. It was just a name; changing it was a simple matter of submitting a report. "What new name are you planning to come up with?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Shang Nongchaosheng made his decision, saying, "I think my old friend is the most auspicious. How about this, the new series will be called 'Xiao Feng Que'!"
Xiao Fengque!
