Chapter 382 - 382 239

Chapter 382: Chapter 239 Chapter 382: Chapter 239 “Ah? But all of this can be changed.”

The assistant director probably thought Wenyan was usually easygoing and hadn’t really lost her temper, so he hadn’t yet grasped the seriousness of the situation.

He even smiled as he came over to look at the script.

“This is just a simple framework. The specific content is made up on the fly and doesn’t have to strictly follow what’s written here. It can all be overturned.”

“For example, instead of sugary water, we could use other snacks, or when the male actor is eating something on set, you could go over and talk to him, and he might share some beef jerky or candy with you. All that is okay.”

“…” Wenyan was shocked and her face turned cold, “You’re okay with that, but I’m not! I don’t accept such promotional gimmicks and staged publicity. Don’t come to me with this stuff again in the future. Take this script back; I’ll pretend I never saw it.”

Wenyan felt she had made herself clear enough and had given the other party enough face.

But the assistant director still hadn’t given up.

“Ms. Wen, I think you don’t have to reject it so outright. Why don’t you consider it again? After all, this is also a way of promotion, and many other dramas are doing it these days.”

“And the fact has proven that such promotional tactics are very effective. Anyway, sharing snacks or something like that is very common on set, and there are many who drink milk tea from the same straw. These are all basic tricks.”

“Even if you’re not willing to shoot these behind-the-scenes now, once the drama becomes popular, you’ll still need to interact with your CP actor, right? Shooting it now or later is actually the same, and shooting it now within the drama crew makes it seem more authentic.”

Wenyan frowned deeply.

She rarely showed such an expression to others.

Once she made that expression, it meant her patience had reached its limit.

“Director Li, was I not clear enough just now, or are you pretending you didn’t understand? I said I don’t accept this kind of promotional gimmick. How I interact with other actors after the drama airs is none of your business, okay? And I don’t want to repeat myself a third time.”

After she spoke, Wenyan turned and left.

What are these people like! All they think about is underhanded tactics. Can’t they focus on the quality of the drama instead?

No wonder netizens are always complaining that TV series are getting worse with each passing day.

Turns out both directors and actors are focused on marketing gimmicks.

The assistant director was stubborn. Wenyan had rarely given someone a cold face in front of so many people, and he still tried to follow her.

Seeing this, He Xing immediately spread his arms to block his path.

“Sorry, our actress needs to prepare for the next scene. Can you please not disturb her any further?”

“No, I really didn’t mean any harm. How about I go and apologize to Ms. Wen?”

“No!” He Xing was categorical, “Your not disturbing her is the biggest apology you can offer. From now on, you just stay away from our actors with your crappy scripts, okay?”

“No, this script is really just an example. You can change it, even completely to your advantage.”

“…” He Xing, “I have a question I’m curious about; can you answer it for me first?”

“What, ask.”

“How did you get this job on the crew? Was it because of your outstanding thick-skinnedness? Please leave, our contract does not stipulate that we must cooperate with this kind of shooting. If you keep this up, we’ll settle this in court.”

“Alright, alright, I’m leaving, alright? But please apologize to Ms. Wen for me. And if you change your minds…”

“Scram!”

He Xing couldn’t stand it any longer; this person was just too, too, too long-winded.

But she quickly remembered another matter.

“Wait a minute!”

“What?” The assistant director’s face went from being as bitter as a gourd to full of joy, “Have you changed your mind?”

“We’ve always been clear,” He Xing frowned, “It’s you who are skewed. Let me ask you, this idea for the behind-the-scenes footage, is it the director’s or the male lead from your script?”

Seeing He Xing suddenly ask this question, the assistant director’s face changed.

“If you don’t want to shoot, then don’t, but don’t come regretting it later, you definitely will,” he said, and then he left without needing anyone to shoo him away.

Wenyan was supposed to be resting but was actually paying close attention to the commotion near He Xing.
