All the stars in the entertainment industry are listening to me eating melon

Chapter 202: Mischief
Yan Zhi was speechless for a long time, and suddenly thought of something disgusting. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Wait a minute! Could this sister be related to him?"

Sister Chen was also silent. After a long while, she said dryly, "It shouldn't be the case. After all, Li Wanlin owes everything he has today to his wife. He shouldn't dare to do such a thing under her nose."

Obviously, Sister Chen has understood the meaning of Yan Zhi's words.

The so-called sister is not just a simple sister.

Sister Chen decided to change the subject, not wanting such dirty things to taint her pure soul as an artist: "What do you think now? Do you want to continue filming?"

Although I have already joined the group, it is okay if I can find a reason to pay the penalty.

Given Yan Zhi's status, he is not afraid of not being able to afford it.

As for the explanation to the outside world, Sister Chen also has a way to solve it and will not let Yan Zhi have a bad reputation for not keeping his promise.

Yan Zhi thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, she is not worthy of me giving in."

In fact, Yan Zhi was originally invited to play the role of the female lead in this drama, but when Yan Zhi read the script, she felt that the second female lead was more controversial.

In addition, she is bound to become more and more popular in the future. After playing the leading female role, she will have to be much more careful when trying other controversial supporting roles, and she cannot be as unscrupulous as she is now.

Therefore, after she communicated with Sister Chen, Sister Chen also expressed that she would respect this idea, and they contacted the crew and decided to audition for the role of the second female lead.

Naturally it succeeded.

The crew sent her the script. She had been memorizing lines and writing character biographies these days, but she forgot to inquire about other actors who would play opposite her. She didn't think of checking the background of other actors in the "Eating Melon" system, and this kind of leak occurred.

But Yan Zhi didn't blame Sister Chen too much.

She couldn't possibly reject even the actors who had any relationship with a person just because she hated him.

This is not good. The entertainment industry seems big and small at the same time, and she cannot block her own way.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhi shook his head slightly.

As long as this person doesn't bother her, she won't force herself to do anything to her.

*

After joining the crew, filming officially began.

This is an ancient political intrigue drama. What is rare is that it is not a political intrigue drama centered on a male protagonist, but rather puts the focus mostly on women.

She has finished reading the novel on the website.

It is indeed very exciting. Three of the characters have important roles, one is the queen, one is the eldest princess, and the last one is the daughter of an official.

The queen fought her way to the throne as empress dowager. The eldest princess's mother's family was not prominent, and she was almost sent to marry a foreign prince. She joined forces with the queen, who had an unstable position in the palace at the time, and wanted to help the queen's son ascend the throne.

The daughter of an official was a talented woman discovered by the princess, who planned to take the imperial examination and become a female official.

As a result, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was afraid of the eldest princess's tremendous power. The eldest princess also grew ambitious from a poor little girl after coming into contact with power. She wanted to become an empress, and the two had a fierce conflict.

The young lady originally believed in orthodoxy, and although she was discovered by the eldest princess, she was more on the side of the new emperor.

But as they came into contact with more things, they discovered that the new emperor was truly incompetent and that the wisdom he had shown in the past was all the result of the empress dowager's behind-the-scenes planning.

The Queen Mother put pressure on him, and the pressure of being in power forced him to restrain himself.

After he ascended the throne, he began to show a tendency to indulge himself.

As the leading female character, she gradually changed her mind.

She clearly realized that only when women came to power could oppressed women like them truly gain power. Otherwise, when this generation of people in power fell into obscurity, the next generation would only oppress women more severely.

After all, the ancients' thoughts still have limitations. She set her sights on the Queen Mother and the eldest princess. At first, she agreed with the Queen Mother ruling from behind the curtain and treating the emperor as a puppet. Later, she chose to stand on the side of the eldest princess and let her ascend the throne as the empress.

The eldest princess is the second female role played by Yan Zhiyao.

The role of the female lead who passed the imperial examination and then experienced court struggles is of course very full, but Yan Zhi prefers the second female lead, the eldest princess.

Recently, feminist consciousness has emerged, and many dramas with female protagonists have been filmed. However, many of these dramas only focus on describing women's ambitions, but in the end they end up being uncontrollable, out of control, and ultimately failing, which makes her feel disgusted.

This is a rare drama in which a woman succeeds in becoming an empress, and the ending is relatively satisfactory.

Just for this reason, Yan Zhi also found it very interesting.

Not to mention that in her opinion, the role of the second female lead is actually more substantial than that of the first female lead.

Although the author consciously gave the female lead some shortcomings as the protagonist, such as being indecisive and weak in family affection, her image is still perfect overall.

Unlike the second female lead, who has some shortcomings that are not well-received by mainstream public opinion, her ideological change and the suffering she endured are very vivid highlights.

As a result, after only one or two days of filming, Yan Zhi suddenly received news that the female lead, Li Sixi, wanted to change the script.

She wanted to change the ending where the eldest princess ascends to the throne to one where the female lead, played by her, becomes the empress.

Yan Zhi: "..."

From the mirror, she could see that the makeup artist who gossiped her also looked very speechless.

"I don't know what she was thinking. In that era, the eldest princess' ascension to the throne was considered a rare event. Fortunately, she is a member of the royal family and has royal blood. But for her, an ordinary housekeeper's son, to take the throne, isn't this a change of fate?"

indeed.

Strictly speaking, filming like this seems like the author is giving the second female lead a golden finger.

According to her idea, it would be more reasonable for the empress dowager, as the third female leader, to rule the country from behind the scenes.

She took the news as a joke, but she didn't expect that the assistant director came to chat with her the next day and talked about changing the script.

His attitude was not humble, and he probably felt that he was giving face to Yan Zhi.

After all, if they wanted to change the script, they could just notify the actors directly without any discussion. He even came over to tell Yan Zhi specifically so that he could be mentally prepared and respect others more.

Yan Zhi didn't even give him a chance to continue, interrupting, "Regarding the content of the script, I think we have already specifically pointed it out when we signed the contract."

"Is the crew going to breach the contract?"

The assistant director's face immediately fell.

"This is for the sake of the entire drama. The screenwriter and I both agree that this change would be more reasonable..."

It's a lot of official language.

If it were Yan Zhi before he entered the circle, he would probably have been fooled by those high-sounding terms he used, as well as the implicit moral kidnapping - if you don't do this, it will be your fault if the drama fails.

But after all, she has been in this circle for several years, and she only grasps one point, which is that people cannot change the script at will.

Now this script is the key to attracting her to join the crew. Who knows what it will become after the changes!

Because there are too many facts in front of us, a good novel was turned into a piece of shit, and then the actors and screenwriters were criticized.

But in reality, can actors and screenwriters really have such a big say?

It's just these people who are messing around!
