Fiery Fanny shook her head.
"I know for sure itās an issue from the investorsā side, but if the director hadnāt been bought off too, how could they have only told me just now? They obviously kept it from me on purpose, me, the scriptwriter!" Fiery Fanny sighed again, "And thatās not even what pisses me off the most. Do you know what really gets to me? Just now, the director asked me to add some content for the female supporting role. Thatās what irks me the most."
Fiery Fanny hooked a chair with her foot for Jane Sampson to sit, then said, "I wrote this script. Every word, every scene, every moment was carefully considered before I put pen to paper. Now the director just says one word, and they want me to change the whole script to add more for the female supporting role. What is this? Even if youāre promoting her, this isnāt the way to do it."
"Back then, when I signed the agreement with the entire team, what I valued was their respect for me as the original author. I said when I signed that agreement, Iād be the screenwriter, and how this drama goes, Iām the one who decides." Fiery Fanny let out a cold laugh, "Seriously, on the day of starting filming, they just changed face like that."
For Fiery Fanny, she started with such hopeful feelings towards a drama, she anticipated this day every day, so she treated every detail of this drama with utmost seriousness.
She thought she had found the filming team she wanted.
But now it seems...
Fiery Fanny said, "A female supporting role hasnāt even joined the crew yet, and sheās already clashing with me. Do you think this female supporting role is someone I would like? Just because she wants extra scenes, thatās why I, Fiery Fanny, canāt like someone like that."
Faced with Jane Sampson, Fiery Fanny had no intention of hiding the dissatisfaction in her heart, "She can use her influence to snatch the role of the female supporting role, but being so greedy to want more scenes? Honestly, the female supporting role already has plenty of scenes in this drama. Sheās still wanting more, what does she want? To turn from guest to host, become the female lead?"
Jane Sampson was stunned there for a long time, speechless.
She hadnāt expected there to be so much going on behind the scenes.
On the very first day of filming, even before the start-up ceremony took place, there was already so much going on in this film crew.
"Iām putting it out there; I, Fiery Fanny, will absolutely not add scenes for that female supporting role. Donāt even think about it; I wonāt be changing this script!" Fiery Fanny snorted, then patted Jane Sampson, "Get your makeup artist to come in and do your makeup. Sorry to load you with so much negative energy so early in the morning."
"Itās alright. You see me as a friend, Iām more than willing to be your confidante." Jane Sampson smiled at Fiery Fanny, then watched her leave the makeup room with a frown.
Lucy Brisk, who had barely made her presence felt, finally asked Jane Sampson in a small voice once Fiery Fanny was out of earshot, "Sister Jane, should I call the makeup artist in?"
"Go ahead," Jane Sampson nodded, and after Lucy Brisk left, she couldnāt help but let out a soft sigh.
So, nothing seems to be going smoothly.
Jane Sampsonās makeup was only half done when the director had someone call her outside. Although Fiery Fanny wasnāt exactly thrilled, the start-up ceremony went off smoothly.
Filming was divided into several groups, and Jane Sampsonās scenes that morning didnāt involve acting opposite the male lead. Her morning scenes were all indoor filming. Fortunately, she hadnāt eaten much for breakfast, as she started with wirework and was leaping around the whole morning. Capital Provinceās weather this season was hot enough to make her sweat profusely.
