“But I changed it deliberately. I think it’s better this way...” Li Min missed the subtly in the director’s words. She was quick to defend herself.?What is going on? Why is the director bringing this up?

The people around the director started whispering.

“The director finally lost it!”

“This Li Min doesn’t feel very professional. She changes her script all the time. Are all the lead actors like this?”

“No, only small celebrities will do something like this.”

“But I feel like she has done a good job, she made the female lead pop!”

“Then perhaps I should add more lines to my character too!”

“Haha, you’re just an extra and you want to change your lines? By the way, I heard that a big shot is coming to the studio today. I wonder who it is.”

“Wait, you haven’t seen her?” The extra pointed at Mo Li. “It was Jin Chuan who personally arranged to have Mo Li, the superstar newbie from Huan Yu to join the cast! She is an actual actor, I’m sure she’ll be different than Li Min.

...

Jin Chuan had been shooting for a whole morning and he finally had time to meet Mo Li. Mo Li squatted by the side of the studio, eating boxed lunches with the crew. Kang Zhi sighed, even the boxed lunch here was 100 times better than the ones they had at the station.

“Girl, this is yours. You need to stop working, it’s now time to eat!” Mo Li told Xiao Ou. The latter stumbled backwards as if frightened by Mo Li.

Mo Li quickly reached out to grab the girl before she fell. “You really need to stop writing. You’ve been working the whole morning already.”?She is not working so hard to fit me into the script is she?

“Miss, Miss Mo Li...” Xiao Ou thought that Mo Li would be the domineering type but she realized Mo Li was actually very kind.

“I’m sorry. I have to work hard because there has been many sudden changes to the script.” Mo Li was sensitive to what Xiao Ou meant. “Miss Li Min has made many new changes to her character and the script. I tried to fit her lines into the script, but many places didn’t match. Honestly, with Miss Li Min’s acting choices, Fu Jinying has indeed become a lot more vibrant. Still, her characterization is completely different from what the screenwriters have decided for the original Fu Jinying...”

Xiao Ou flipped through the script. She looked at Mo Li, her manager and her assistant. For some reason, she felt the need to unload. “Fu Jinying is designed as a bat spirit who just morphed into human form, she is innocent, simple and curious about the world. She is a little girl essentially. The movie talks about how she transforms from this original girl into an immortal through trials and tribulations. However, Miss Li Min portrays Fu Jinying with one note, she is playing the version of Fu Jinying at the end throughout the whole movie. There is no progression at all. She is playing her own version of Fu Jinying and not the version I wrote. Because of that, I need to edit many of Fu Jinying’s interactions with the other characters, including yours, Miss Mo Li, the Queen of the Bats.”

“If that’s what you think... You should communicate it to Jin Chuan and the director.” Kang Zhi saw the concern on the girl’s face and he consoled.

“Okay, I will talk to the director and Brother Jin Chuan. But they can’t really do anything. During the meeting yesterday, we have been told that the new female lead has already been fixed by CEO Han...”

“So this is how you spend your time, slandering my name behind my back? Your heart is as ugly as your face.”

Li Min suddenly materialized behind them. She crossed her arms and raised her chin high as if she was above Xiao Ou and Mo Li.

“What, slander? I’m sorry, Miss Li, I didn’t mean...”

“Really, perhaps you think I’m dumb. In any case, I’m going to continue the shoot.” Li Min turned to Mo Li, “You must be Mo Li. Don’t you dare affect our filming progress.”

Then Li Min turned to leave but Xiao Ou suddenly stood up. “Erm, Miss Li! I’m very sorry to have made you uncomfortable. You are a very good actor and you have made the character very interesting, but I still think it is very different from our original characterization for Fu Jinying. If it’s possible, I hope you can have a meeting with us screenwriters so we can iron out the details.” When Xiao Ou lifted her head, she met Li Min’s sardonic gaze.

“You are interesting, since you’ve said that I’ve done a better job with the characterization, why should I change? A normal person like you won’t understand this. The ordinary Fu Jinyang you wrote is so uninteresting, she is so common, being kind and sincere merely adds to her label of being dumb and silly. The current audience doesn’t like that type of female lead anymore.. No wonder I have to keep editing the lines, as a screenwriter, you don’t even know how to write a captivating character! You ugly piece of work!” Then her palm came at Xiao Ou’s face.
