Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Jiang Li heard this, she furrowed her brows.
This screenwriter actually called her assistant a dog? Who gave him the guts?!
Anger rose in Jiang Li’s heart, but she also knew that this matter might not be that simple. At that moment, she first comforted her assistant. “Don’t cry. No matter how sad you are, it will only make them happier. First, let me take a look at the new script. Let me see if there are any problems so that I can find someone to settle the score.”
Although the assistant was still crying, she still handed the script to Jiang Li. “Please, please take a look. Even an amateur like me thinks that your scenes have been messed up!”
When Jiang Li heard that, she immediately opened the script. Just as the assistant had said, it was completely different from before..
Not only were the scenes deleted in large numbers, but even the character settings had also been changed a lot.
Not only were the character settings contradictory, but there were also many points that would be criticized by the audience. In the end, the original decent image had completely turned into a villain image. It was too different from the beginning, and it could even ruin the plot.
Seeing this, Jiang Li already knew in her heart that it was most likely that someone had said something to the scriptwriter, which was why the scriptwriter had chosen this method to embarrass her.
As for who this person was, Jiang Li could think of it even without using her brain.
Jiang Li picked up the script and immediately went to the scriptwriter’s waiting room. She knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” The scriptwriter opened the door impatiently and saw Jiang Li holding the script in her hand.
The scriptwriter’s expression froze, but Jiang Li continued to speak, “Brother Chen, there is something I want to discuss with you. Don’t you think that my role has been modified by you to a point where it is not proper?”
“If you still insist on changing my character, then I’ll have to talk to the director. After all, I took a liking to the character back then. Now that the character has changed, naturally, I’ll change as well. It doesn’t meet my expectations, so I can only find another person to have a good talk with.”
“What?” The scriptwriter’s eyes turned anxious when he heard that. He could not care less that the crew was still present, and he started to criticize Jiang Li, “I think you’re crazy about being famous. You’re just a newbie actor. Do you really think that you’re that capable?”
When Jiang Li heard his words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “In other words, you’re not willing to change it?”
The scriptwriter looked at Jiang Li and became even more stubborn. “Yes, I’m just not willing to change it. Just do as you see fit!”
Jiang Li did not want to waste any more time here. She simply went to wait for the director.
As for the scriptwriter, he felt that his authority had been challenged, so he directly posted on Weibo.
“There are some new actors who have gained the recognition of some fashion magazines. They think that they can do whatever they want in the industry. Heh, I can only tell you that acting and taking photos are far from the same. Their acting skills are also bad. If I don’t change my scenes, won’t my film be ruined?”
Although the scriptwriter did not directly name names, it was equivalent to telling everyone who this person was.
In an instant, Jiang Li’s Weibo was attacked by haters.
“Jiang Li, what’s so great about you? How can a person like you, who doesn’t have any morals, be qualified to act!”
“A person like you should get out of the entertainment industry!”
“That’s right! Get Out!”
Compared to the uproar on the Internet, in the Fu Group’s conference room, all the higher-ups were very nervous. Their President Fu had been staring at his phone for a long time, and his frown was getting tighter and tighter. Could they still have a tomorrow?
Just as everyone was worried, Fu Jiuxiao suddenly asked, “Do you all have Weibo?”
The company’s top executives were all middle-aged people. They did not usually use weibo, so they all shook their heads.
Fu Jiuxiao nodded in satisfaction. “Very good, I’ll be using your phone numbers. The company needs to register some Weibo accounts to create momentum. The meeting is adjourned, and we’ll continue in the afternoon.”
After saying that, Fu Jiuxiao went to his office.
In the office, Fu Jiuxiao’s hands were dancing on the keyboard, and the words she typed were domineering and vicious.
“Jiang Li is really amazing. If you aren’t convinced, then why don’t you act?”
“I don’t know if Jiang Li has any morals, but a person like you definitely has no morals.”
“Do you think that if you want her to get lost, she’ll really get lost? I hope you can get out of Weibo and don’t insult other people’s eyes with your stupid comments.”
Fu Jiuxiao had spoken too much, so he was often banned. Every time he was banned, he would change his account.
The assistant looked at Fu Jiuxiao and finally understood why he wanted to use the executives’ phone numbers. It turned out that it was all for the Madam!
At the same time, Jiang Li wrote down the outline of the second half of the story in the lounge. When the director arrived, she immediately handed it to him. “Director, take a look. This is my revised outline of the story.”
When the director heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “Why did you modify this? Are you not satisfied with the original?”
“No, I was very satisfied with the original one. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have accepted this part. However, after the screenwriter changed it, I couldn’t agree to it. So now, I can only do it myself. I hope the director doesn’t mind me being a busybody.”
