Chapter 492: This old thing is really shameless!

~7 min read 1,319 words

The dog days of summer had passed for more than a month, but the temperature didn't drop until the end of September, yet it still made people feel irritable.

Film crew.

Apan carried the work meal into the workroom, and it was instantly much cooler when the air conditioning blew.

"Someone had heatstroke again just now," he said casually.

Shen Li, who was sitting on the sofa reading the script, looked up upon hearing this and asked with concern: "A staff member? Are they okay?"

"A field assistant, heard he was dizzy and fell, almost hit the stone steps, and was sent back to rest."

Shen Li frowned with heartache upon hearing this. This summer was particularly hot. Since the filming of this play started a few months ago, several people in the crew had been hospitalized due to heatstroke one after another.

"Xiaoyun, you should order some heatstroke medicine and iced heatstroke herbal tea later, buy more and distribute them to the staff, they are too hard-working."

Xiaoyun nodded: "Okay, I'll do it now."

At this time, the director's assistant knocked on the door and entered, holding a blue folder in his hand: "Teacher Shen Li, this is today's new script, the director asked you to take a simple look."

Shen Li was slightly surprised to hear this, but still subconsciously took it: "New script? Isn't the afternoon scene about to be filmed? Why change the script?"

And what she was holding was the original script, the plot was smooth, and there was no problem.

The director's assistant only said: "I don't know the specific details, but the director said that it's just a slight change, and it doesn't conflict much with the original plot. You can just take a simple look."

In this way, Shen Li nodded lightly: "Okay, I know, thank you."

After the person left, Shen Li opened the new script in confusion. Apan saw this and greeted her: "Ali, eat first, look at it after eating."

Shen Li walked to the table and sat down. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the work meals prepared for the leads by the crew recently were very light and fire-clearing, such as bitter melon fried eggs, lily shrimp, etc.

It happened to suit Shen Li's taste.

Her sister and brother both loved spicy food, but she was not very good at it.

She flipped through the script while eating. The first half had almost no changes from the previous version, until she slowly saw the middle part, and her face sank involuntarily.

Xiaoyun and Apan noticed her expression, and the two looked at each other subconsciously. Xiaoyun asked softly: "What's wrong, Ali? It wouldn't be cutting your scenes, right?"

Shen Li shook her head and "slapped" the folder shut.

Not only did it not cut her scenes, but it also added her scenes.

And the reason she had this reaction was that the added scenes were between her and Lu Qiang, and in her opinion, these scenes were superfluous and fundamentally unnecessary.

"Xiaoyun, go find Sister Chuhe, and say I have something to find her." Shen Li thought of Ji Chuhe for the first time.

But Xiaoyun said: "She has a brand event on National Day and flew away on the flight last night."

Shen Li was stunned, losing her idea for a moment.

But she soon calmed down. She couldn't always rely on Sister Chuhe to help her with such things; she had to find a way herself.

Reopening the script and looking back, she saw some "intimate scenes" that couldn't be counted as intimate scenes.

Because the opponent was that old lecher Lu Qiang, she had to consider another layer.

When Xu Zishan had that incident on the "Tianming Weihuang" crew, it was Zhang Heng who relied on being the son of the investor to ask for a prodigal role and used the intimate scene with Xu Zishan to commit indecent assault on her.

And although today's play only had a seemingly simple hug with Lu Qiang, the play was added abruptly, and Shen Li was ten thousand times resistant in her heart.

She loved acting and every role. Although she had been in the industry for a short time, she was very professional. As long as the role needed it, she never said no, but this time, she was unwilling.

Having no appetite at the moment, Shen Li took the script and got up to leave the lounge. Xiaoyun and Apan saw this and hurriedly followed.

At this time, it was the lunch break for the whole crew.

Under the studio, the director and assistant directors gathered together to eat and chat, and many staff members also gathered in the shade around.

Shen Li's heart was very uneasy and nervous, but this time she knew she couldn't give in.

"Director."

"Ali?" Seeing Shen Li, the director was surprised and stood up with his lunch box: "What's wrong? It's still early, how about I arrange those scenes of yours after three o'clock? It can be cooler."

Because she was Kuanjie's artist and had been nominated for the Golden Leaf Award twice, and most importantly, her acting was good and she was smart, the director attached great importance to her now, wanting to lay a good foundation for future cooperation.

People around also cast curious glances, which made Shen Li's heartbeat faster.

But she took a deep breath, took out the script in her hand, looked at the director and gathered her courage: "Director, I've read this newly changed script, have you read it?"

The director glanced at the folder and blinked with a guilty conscience.

He hadn't read it because it was changed by the screenwriter.

"Is there any problem?" the director said, reaching out to take the script.

Then he heard Shen Li say in a low voice: "I think the changes and the added content are unreasonable, which will make the original rhythm become long and dragging, and some shots are very unnecessary. For example, why did you let the character of Lu Qiang teacher and my character hug at the end? In the play, his relationship with me is not even a close elder."

The director was naturally more professional. He just simply looked at the general idea of the new script and knew that Shen Li was right.

His face sank, and he turned to instruct his assistant to call the crew screenwriter over.

"It's okay, Ali, I'll handle this matter. The screenwriter teacher said he wanted to make some slight changes, I thought he wanted to polish it on the original basis, I didn't expect to add these inexplicable things, and thanks to you for bringing it up." The director smiled, but his words made Shen Li feel much more at ease.

Soon, the crew screenwriter rushed over.

The other party saw Shen Li was also there, and felt guilty in his heart.

Pretending to be calm, he nodded to the director: "Director, are you looking for me?"

"What's going on with this script?" The director was also impolite, coming up and scolding him: "What kind of messy things did you change? It's donkey lips not matching horse mouth, who the hell taught you to change the script like this?"

"No, Director." The screenwriter had a bitter face, reached out and pulled the director to the side and whispered: "It's not that I wanted to change it, it's Lu Qiang teacher's meaning. He thinks adding these few scenes can make his character have a closer connection with Shen Li's character, and can also make his character fuller."

Mentioning Lu Qiang, the director understood instantly.

They had all been in the industry for many years, how could they not understand some things in their hearts?

The director couldn't help but spit: "This old thing is really shameless, he has already slept with several of my actresses, damn!" ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
