Chapter 131: Remove This Part
Translator: Zayn_
The next morning, Song Qingyou was relieved to find Zhizhi awake.
At the beginning of the year, as soon as the production team for “The Empress ” was established, filming officially started.
The production team’s official Weibo account soon began to advertise.
The news that Lin Siya and He Yuan were going to be Song Qingyou’s co-stars shocked everyone in the industry.
He Yuan had always kept a low profile, and so did his fans, but this time, they could not keep a low profile.
Lin Siya’s fans even scolded Jinling Media for being rude.
Jinling Media had wanted to kick Lin Siya out for a long time. How could the fans not notice?
However, they had gone too far this time. They actually let Lin Siya, a top actress, play a supporting role for a second-and third-tier artist?
Fortunately, Lin Siya reacted in time and quickly posted on Weibo that she liked the script written by Qing Meng very much, which was why she took the role. It had nothing to do with the company or anyone else.
He Yuan’s Weibo had the same intention.
Only then did most of the fans stop.
However, there were still people who were dissatisfied.
[ Xihe’s character in ” The Immortal Demon” is cold and valiant, which is very compatible with Song Qingyou’s personality. That’s why she acted well. If the character in the script is different from her personality, then she will be suppressed when she acts with He Yuan and Lin Siya!]
[ I don’t believe that Siya likes this script and took the initiative to accept it… It must be because the company is not treating her well and didn’t give Siya good resources!]
[ The female lead has always been crushed when she’s acting together. Can this drama still be watched?!]
Doubts like this were endless.
Someone even contacted the troll army studio, asking them to smear Song Qingyou’s name.
Speechless, Chen Lan relayed the words of the studio’s manager. “Now they’re asking you what to do. Are you going to take this job?”
“Who contacted them?” Song Qingyou asked.
“Tao Mi, Shen Xiyan’s assistant.”
“Why not? The Shen family isn’t short of money,” Song Qingyou said firmly. “Get them to bid as high as possible.”
After Song Qingyou took 30% of the studio’s shares, Chen Lan knew that this day would come.
She sighed and sent a message to the studio, then complained, “I thought that Shen Xiyan would stop! She offended Gu Xingchen and Sister Lin. Logically speaking, shouldn’t she be obedient and not cause trouble during this period of time?”
“Maybe she couldn’t sit still after seeing Lin Siya working with me.”
At the end of last year, Shen Xiyan had smashed Lin Siya’s head with her mobile phone. She could have made a counter-charge against Lin Siya, but Lin Siya had taken out the surveillance video as evidence at the critical moment.
Now that Lin Siya suddenly wanted to cooperate with Song Qingyou, others might wonder how the two of them got into a relationship, but Shen Xiyan definitely wouldn’t.
She would immediately think that Song Qingyou had most likely sent the surveillance video to Lin Siya!
“She’s that smart?” Chen Lan asked with a frown.
Song Qingyou chuckled.
“This is not called being smart.”
“This is Shen Xiyan’s character.”
“She will assume the worst of the people she hates.”
Even if Song Qingyou really didn’t give the surveillance video this time, as long as Lin Siya and Song Qingyou had a relationship, Shen Xiyan would still think that Song Qingyou gave her the video.
“You really know her well!” Chen Lan sighed.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, all the cast and crew had arrived.
When Song Qingyou arrived at the filming location, Xu Mingrui was explaining the scene to Yan Yu.
He had to film Yan Yu and Song Qingyou’s scene today, and Xu Mingrui was afraid that this child would drop the ball.
So this was already the third time.
In fact, there was no need for that. After all, Yan Yu looked very steady. Even if he kept listening to the same words, he would not be impatient at all.
As soon as Song Qingyou approached, Xu Mingrui raised his head. “Sister, you’re here.”
Yan Yu followed up by calling out ‘Sister Qingyou’, his expression like a little old man.
“Director Xu, if you continue to nag, Yan Yu is going to get wrinkles,” Song Qingyou joked.
When Xu Mingrui heard this, he let Yan Yu go and let him rest first.
Then he tugged at Song Qingyou’s sleeve and whispered, “Sis, do you know? I was really scared to death when I went home this year. My dad and the others actually knew that 1 became a director!”
“The Immortal Demon is so popular. It’s normal that they’ve heard of it.”
“How is it normal?” Xu Mingrui covered his face. “They don’t watch TV dramas at all… Besides, I haven’t really shown my face. The name Xu Mingrui isn’t unique. How would they know?”
“But don’t they still know?” Song Qingyou asked.
“Yes, and it was my cousin who told on me.”
Xu Mingrui was speechless. “He didn’t even tell me in advance. 1 was so scared that I almost had a heart attack that day…”
“Fortunately, cousin pleaded for me, or else you wouldn’t have been able to see me.”
It could be seen that Xu Mingrui was now filled with the desire to complain.
“Jiang Zhihan?” Song Qingyou couldn’t help but think of the gossip she heard earlier. “Your cousin is Jiang Zhihan?”
Was Jiang Zhihan really that scary?
Why did she feel that Jiang Zhihan was actually quite gentle, apart from his facial paralysis?
“Yes.” Xu Mingrui saw that her expression was not right and asked curiously, “You know him?”
Song Qingyou nodded. “We just met not long ago… But I didn’t tell anyone.”
Of course, Xu Mingrui knew that Song Qingyou wouldn’t leak the secret.
He looked at her up and down with a strange expression, lowered his head and muttered, “1 know how cousin found out that I became a director…”
“How did he find out?”
When Song Qingyou asked, the cat on the table also turned to look.
His large dark green cat eyes reminded Xu Mingrui of Jiang Zhihan himself.
He turned around and zipped his mouth. “I don’t think 1 can say it.”
If he told anyone that his cousin liked a female celebrity, he would definitely be in big trouble!
Jiang Zhihan could tell at a glance that Xu Mingrui was imagining something.
However, since he didn’t plan to say anything, it was fine.
The cat closed its eyes and went back to sleep.
Xu Mingrui didn’t give any explanation. He flipped open the script and pointed at one of the intimate scenes between the male and female leads.
“I think this part should be deleted.”
“Huh?” Song Qingyou was taken aback by the sudden change of topic.
Xu Mingrui continued, “Since it’s a drama about the female protagonist’s power, it’s better to weaken the emotional scenes. What do you think?”
Xu Mingrui didn’t believe that his cousin would chase after celebrities or know any celebrities. But, just in case, he deleted all the intimate scenes!
If he wasn’t the one filming, then so be it.
After all, if his cousin really wanted to pursue the matter, he would have nowhere to hide.
Song Qingyou didn’t think too much about it, but said thoughtfully, “What you said makes sense, but it’s so sudden…”
“Anyway, Su Yiwan didn’t get together with the male lead in the later stages, right?” Xu Mingrui asked.
“Then deleting these two scenes and changing it to a more subtle expression of emotions won’t have much of an impact, right?”
Song Qingyou believed in Xu Mingrui’s vision as a director, so she nodded in agreement to this small change.
However, she had almost finished writing the book, “The Empress,” so she decided to keep the content in the original version.
No one would care about such a small detail..
