Chapter 163: Changing the Script
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Ling was still secretly determined to work hard to repay her good boss, Yu Su.
After Chen Ling signed the contract, she was forced by her manager to do body shaping until three days before the filming of the television drama began.
She had thought that she would be able to do whatever she wanted after entering the production team for filming. However, she saw Yu Su, who was dressed in ancient clothes like her, at the filming ceremony.
“CEO Yu, why are you here, and dressed like this?” Yu Su was really too beautiful dressed like this, almost stunning her, when she was a girl herself.
Yu Su smiled gently at her. “I’m the second female lead in this drama. Also, Wendy asked me to supervise you. You can’t secretly eat high-calorie snacks.”
Wendy was Chen Ling’s manager.
“!!!” Yu Su’s words instantly made Chen Ling’s eyes lose their luster.
Yu Su was amused by her expression and said benevolently, “Alright, you’ll have to work hard during this period of time. When this drama wraps up, I’ll give you half a month of paid leave. Rest well and relax. By then, Wendy won’t be able to control you anymore.”
Yu Su’s words revived Chen Ling. She grabbed Yu Su’s hand excitedly. “You must keep your word!”
Yu Su held back her laughter and nodded.
The filming period for this drama was four months. Coupled with the two months of post-production, it took a full six months for news about this drama to appear on the Internet.
The novel plot quickly attracted the attention of netizens, who were looking forward to the broadcast of this drama.
This Chinese novel themed drama was about a powerful immortal and his wife. The female lead played by Chen Ling was an innocent and kind little fairy. Her lively personality moved the immortals on the high and cold Icy Mountain. The reason why the male lead played by Ye Chang could turn from a mortal to an immortal was because he killed his wife to prove his abilities and cut off his mortal ties.
The second female lead played by Yu Su was the mortal wife of the male lead before he became a god.
After the second female lead was killed by the male lead, the Heavenly Axiom gave the second female lead a chance to live. The second female lead’s soul accidentally entered hell and became a demon.
The second female lead who was deeply in love with the male lead was heartbroken and she was determined to give him a taste of his own medicine. She wanted to follow the male lead’s example and kill her husband to prove her worth.
However, in the end, the second female lead failed to kill the male lead because of the existence of the female lead. She only ended up dying tragically.
The second female lead was actually the character with the most flesh and blood in the script. In her previous life, if not for Yu Hong and Ye Chang rewriting the script to support Yu Miao, the most popular character in this drama would probably be the second female lead.
In this life, Yu Su had already successfully given the role of the female lead to Chen Ling, her own artiste. Naturally, she would not snatch Chen Ling’s limelight.
However, she still had to change the script. She could not completely portray the second female lead as an evil woman like in her previous life, nor could she act according to the original script.
Yu Su planned to use the second female lead to accentuate the female lead’s intelligence and kindness, so that the audience would both sympathize with the second female lead’s tragic encounter and feel that she had done all sorts of tragic and hateful things in order to take revenge.
As for whether the male lead played by Ye Chang would be labeled as a scumbag because of this, this was not within Yu Su’s consideration.
After Yu Su invested a sum of money in the production team, she got the screenwriter, director, and producer to listen to her thoughts on changing the script.
The few of them decisively agreed to her suggestion to change the script.
As Yu Su still had to participate in Director Lin’s variety show in two months, her schedule was very tight. Fortunately, all the actors in the production team were very cooperative. Yu Su’s second female lead role only took a month and a half to wrap up successfully.
On the night that Yu Su finished filming, the production team prepared a small wrap party for her.
At the banquet, Chen Ling hugged her and could not bear to let go. Ye Chang, who was at the side, wanted to say something but hesitated a few times. Yu Su pretended not to see it and did not give him a chance to speak to her.
Early the next morning, Yu Su took a plane back to the studio. After arranging her work, she began to prepare for the variety show in half a month.
Three days before the variety show started filming, Director Lin suddenly called Yu Su and said that Meng Xi had been injured while working and could not participate in the recording of the show for the time being.
The higher-ups of the television station decided to change a permanent guest to inviting temporary guests in the week-long show..
