Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Self-sufficiency is inevitable...
The next day, to avoid embarrassment, Tang Wangyue left the hotel an hour early, rode her bike around the film and television city, and had breakfast before arriving at the filming site.
Escaping is shameful and useless.
The crew is so small that even groups A and B are all in the same place, and the dressing rooms and other things are shared. As a screenwriter, she doesn't have to worry about these, but she still has to go to the screenwriter group to discuss the plot with the other two screenwriters.
Tang Wangyue arrived first and took out her computer to create a group in her mailbox. After the filming of "The Princess" started, she received a lot of cooperation information.
Yun Chuxian's appeal is not just talk. Her previous scripts were mostly played by less popular actors, who might be third or fourth-tier, or who were unknown in the entertainment industry. But after they started acting, these people became known, and some even became popular.
The heroines promoted by her previous scripts have all been ranked first, or at least equal to one, so far. It is not all due to her scripts. It is well known that it is difficult for female stars to ascend to the highest level, but once they ascend, it is difficult for them to fall as long as they do not have moral problems.
Perhaps, what they lack is a good script, after all, they have accumulated a lot of reputation before.
Because of this, the price of her scripts is getting higher and higher, and the leading roles she plays are becoming more and more famous.
Many people were vying for the role of "The Princess", but until Yun Chuxian took it and wanted to play the role, naturally no one else had a chance.
For an actress who has won two of the three major Best Actress awards, unless she is a big star, her age doesn't match.
With the addition of Yun Chuxian, "The Princess" was originally positioned as an S-level drama, and it was directly upgraded to S+. Jingwei Video immediately made additional investments.
In this way, Tang Wangyue's book was rated higher.
There are many companies in her mailbox that want to cooperate, and she has to screen them to see if there are any that can be cooperated with.
As she was looking for it, Lu Zhan came in with breakfast. Seeing her, he smiled and greeted her, "Screenwriter Tang, you're here so early."
"Good morning, Screenwriter Lu. I just arrived too."
Lu Zhan looked at her and asked curiously, "Did you leave early last night?"
Tang Wangyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded, using her friend as a shield, "Director Mo said there was no filming, so he let us go."
Lu Zhan was about to speak, but stopped talking. At this moment, Liu Cheng came in. Seeing Tang Wangyue, his face was clearly unhappy. "Writer Tang is very busy. I can only see him in the morning."
There was an obvious sarcasm in his tone. Thinking about Lu Zhan's expression just now, Tang Wangyue knew that someone was unhappy because he left without saying hello yesterday afternoon.
In fact, regardless of the size of the three screenwriters, if we have to say who is the leader, it is the director. Even if it is the assistant director, only Molay has this qualification.
Tang Wangyue didn't want to pay attention. She was here to work, not to engage in intrigue. "Yes, I'm quite busy. I'll go to Group B first."
Seeing that she looked confused, he was about to leave calmly.
Liu Cheng slammed the table angrily. "There's no discipline at all. Can you come and go as you please on the set?"
"I see you just graduated. It wasn't easy for your family to get you in here. Do you think you can do whatever you want on the crew just because Molai has your back? Work hard to gain experience and don't dream of rising to the top overnight. Both me and screenwriter Lu have accumulated experience for over a decade to get to this point. You're still so young and you're not learning the ropes, yet you're actually thinking of selling your body."
Tang Wangyue: “?”
It doesn't sound like she left without saying goodbye yesterday.
The status of many screenwriters in the crew is not high, but not everyone can order them around.
However, she is the screenwriter of Group B and is under the leadership of Molai. Sun Ran can also do it. Liu Cheng and Lu Zhan are seniors, but they are not the leaders of the screenwriter team.
Even though she was forced to leave the crew in Yun Chuxian's car, she had told Mo Lai about it.
Molai returned to the hotel at the same time as her, so the time she left was the time to get off work.
What Liu Cheng said is nonsense.
What's the point of selling her body? What did she sell?
Tang Wangyue took out his phone and started recording. "Writer Liu, please repeat what you said. It will be used as evidence when I sue you."
Prosecution? Evidence?
Liu Cheng was confused. Just because of a small dispute, he had to keep evidence and sue?
Tang Wangyue shook her phone and said, "If Screenwriter Liu doesn't tell me, then I'll leave. By the way, next time I'll start recording in advance."
Liu Cheng just felt suffocated and had a ball of anger that he had no place to vent.
After Tang Wangyue left, Liu Cheng spoke angrily, "Where did this young fool come from? He's suing at every turn. The crew is owned by her family, and he doesn't even think about the impact of the lawsuit on the crew."
Lu Zhan took a bite of the pancake in his hand and said, "Young man, clean up the workplace."
Liu Cheng almost couldn't breathe, "What do you mean?"
What I mean is, someone wanted to take advantage of their seniority and complained to the director, but the director said, "It's time to get off work, you screenwriters are free, go back."
Lu Zhan wanted to remind Tang Wangyue at that time, but he didn't want to offend his old colleague, so he didn't say it.
Tang Wangyue's seemingly naive way of handling the situation can make Liu Cheng shut up for a long time.
Lu Zhan was cleaning up the breakfast garbage on the table and said absentmindedly, "Writer Liu is a senior, so don't bother with the young people."
Liu Cheng, like the scripts he wrote, is full of subjective imagination.
It is obviously a drama with a strong female lead, but they insist on adding love stories, as if there cannot be an independent and strong female lead, and there must be a male lead to rely on.
The original version of this novel does not have a male protagonist, so the two quarreled every day.
It should be said that before Tang Wangyue came, the two were at loggerheads with each other, neither of them giving in. The arrival of the newcomer allowed the two to temporarily put aside their old grudges.
However, Lu Zhan got a piece of news, the news about why Tang Wangyue appeared in the screenwriter team.
If it is true, then Tang Wangyue must hope that the script is good and does not want it to be changed. They should be in the same camp.
As for Liu Cheng, he was a mean-spirited person who initially thought that Tang Wangyue had a relationship with the director, so he was polite and seemed very enthusiastic. But after he knew that Tang Wangyue was only related to Molai, he wanted to take advantage of his seniority and put himself in a leadership position, hoping to drive people away.
Zheng Shen has some relationship with Liu Cheng. Zheng Shen was kicked out of the crew, so Liu Cheng inevitably wanted to take revenge.
Lu Zhan originally wanted to do a favor for Tang Wangyue, but that was too deliberate. Besides, Tang Wangyue's way of handling the matter could directly make Liu Cheng shut up.
After hearing what Lu Zhan said, Liu Cheng was so angry that he was speechless, "Okay, I'll go find the director."
Lu Zhan was too lazy to pay attention. If he dared to go to the director, she would still look at him with a higher regard.
Tang Wangyue was also wondering, why did Liu Cheng change so quickly?
She has no conflicts with anyone... except one, Zheng Shen.
Tang Wangyue immediately went to find Mo Lai, "Sister, what is the relationship between Zheng Shen and Liu Cheng?"
"Liu Cheng? Why are you asking this?"
The person in front of her was none other than Molai, so of course she told him everything that happened that morning.
Mo Lai thought about it carefully. "Liu Cheng is not very talented. He was able to make it in the screenwriting circle because he has a good brother who is the vice president of a subsidiary of Jingwei Video."
At this point, she reacted, "Zheng Shen is his brother's lover."
"Male-male?"
"Um."
"No wonder."
Tang Wangyue was also very confused. She had not offended Liu Cheng, so why was she being targeted? It turned out to be this reason.
Seeing her thoughtful, Mo Lai immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, Liu Cheng isn't very capable. Even though he and Lu Zhan argued fiercely, the script has already been finalized. The writers can only make suggestions. Whether to change it depends on the director. I'll take care of Liu Cheng, don't worry."
"Don't move, I can handle it myself." She just wanted to know Liu Cheng's relationship. Now that she knew it, she couldn't let Mo Lai offend anyone.
It is not easy for Molai to get to where she is today. She makes a living in the Internet industry and can retreat at any time, but Molai cannot.
"Why are you being so polite to me?"
"I'm not being polite. I have a solution."
Tang Wangyue felt that since Liu Cheng chose to retaliate, there would be more small moves later. Since he had already launched the offensive, she had no reason to retreat.
"What method?"
"It's simple, just ignore him."
Molai: “…”
"Be serious. If you need me, just tell me. Otherwise, I'll go find Mom. If not for me, she'll do it for you."
Tang Wangyue nodded, "I understand."
Of course there is a way. Liu Cheng is a screenwriter, a screenwriter who has made a magical change to the original work. The actors in the crew all have fans. How can they sit still and watch knowing that their own novel has been magically changed?
But if it's just a minor verbal dispute, there's no need for these methods.
Tang Wangyue smiled and sat behind the monitor, monitoring the performance with Molai and offering suggestions from time to time. Time passed quite quickly.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Molai said a few words on the intercom, "Okay, let's eat first."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Tang Wangyue and said, "You are picky about food. I will go get you some actor's lunch."
The meal allowance for actors with some fame in the crew is 50 yuan. Of course, this does not include ordinary staff and extras, whose meal allowance is 20 yuan.
Molai doesn't care whether it's 50 or 20, but he has to take good care of his sister.
Tang Wangyue held her back and said, "It's as much as it should be."
"You screenwriters are also staff members. The 20 meal allowance may not be enough."
"As long as it's edible."
Tang Wangyue is indeed picky about food, but there is no need to do so at this time. If she is not used to the food, she can just go out to eat after get off work.
Molai shook his head in amusement, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Just as the two were about to leave to get their lunch, a staff member walked in. "Director Mo, Screenwriter Tang, Teacher Yun, please come over."
"Two?"
"Yes, both of you."
They looked at each other, wondering if the director knew about their conflict with Liu Cheng.
When they got to Sun Ran's side, she smiled and said, "It's like this, there's something I want to discuss with you two."
Is there anything that needs to be discussed with these two?
Molai smiled and said, "Director, just speak up."
Looking at the smile on Sun Ran's face, she seemed to be in a good mood. "Zheng Shen was kicked out of the crew, so the important role of Xia Liang is missing someone. I watched some actors' videos, but no one meets the requirements."
Tang Wangyue could understand this. She designed the character of Xia Liang to be a man with a female appearance. He was a world-famous beauty. In order to relieve the siege of the eldest princess, Xia Liang killed the enemy and forced them to retreat.
There aren't many scenes, but they are all highlights. In short, it requires a beauty to play the role.
Zheng Shen was stuffed in by capital, and since he is a bit charming, if he closes his eyes, people will play the role.
Now that the person has left, it’s difficult to find a suitable one.
"Houshen said, since the character has a feminine appearance, why not choose a girl to play it? I thought so too. If a girl plays the role, she should be tall, heroic, and charming. Chuxian recommended someone to me."
Sun Ran turned her gaze to Tang Wangyue. "Screenwriter Tang is just right. He's the right height, his body is straight as a pine tree, and he's handsome and heroic. He's just the right person."
Tang Wangyue: “…”
Molai opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Fortunately, Sun Ran just asked her to think about it.
"Ayue, what do you think?"
Tang Wangyue pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go find Yun Chuxian."
"Ah?" Molai was about to dissuade her, but she had already walked away.
When she arrived at Yun Chuxian's RV, Tang Wangyue began to hesitate. Thinking of what she saw last night, she felt a little hesitant.
After all, who would place a finger in a hotel? I haven't heard that Yun Chuxian has a partner. Besides, even if he has a partner, he wouldn't come out for a blind date, right?
Tang Wangyue believed from the bottom of her heart that Yun Chuxian was not that kind of person.
She took a deep breath and was about to raise her hand to knock on the door when the door of the RV opened automatically.
"Writer Tang, come up."
Yun Chuxian's gentle voice sounded, and she subconsciously raised her feet and walked into the RV.
Yun Chuxian's hair accessories were undone, her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her long red gauze dress was half-undone, as she leaned against the sofa.
"I thought Ah Yue would hide from me."
Yun Chuxian spoke softly, her eyes showing a hint of grievance and accusation, as if she was telling of her infidelity.
Hearing this, Tang Wangyue thought she was referring to the fact that she saw something she shouldn't have seen last night, and her ears suddenly turned red.
"I don't."
Yun Chuxian said with a hint of meaning, "Ayue always runs away. My heart has long been torn between being moved by Ayue. It's inevitable that I have to be self-sufficient."
No, why do you say everything?
Tang Wangyue's ears were about to burst into steam, but she felt inexplicably happy.
