"When Ms. Yamamoto wrote the script, her original idea was to find a foreign actor to play Asha. Now she has chosen you. She believes that in order to weaken the impact of the actor's nationality on the film and maximize the film's revenue, it is necessary to adapt to your specific situation. , change the script.”
Ni Bingyan listened to the talk over there and immediately understood the reason why this happened.
In short, since we have hired a Chinese to star, we need to please the Chinese audience in terms of content and protect the Chinese box office.
What a pragmatic screenwriter!
No wonder that at such a young age, he can securely occupy a place in such a project.
"However, the movie will start shooting in less than a week. It has been more than four months since I signed the contract for this movie. The script needs to be changed. It should have been changed long ago, right?"
She had to re-familiarize herself with the script by delaying the change until now, which would put her in a tight schedule, so she was naturally unhappy.
Memorizing lines is not the most important thing. She has already created an A-Xia in her mind. If the new version of the script changes a lot, A-Xia will not have any changes. Due to preconceptions, in a short period of time, she is likely to play the role of A-Xia. Not good for this role.
If this kind of multinational crew continues to fail, won't there be a lot of people laughing at her and complaining about her poor acting skills?
"Ah~~Because the script has changed a lot..."
So, it’s understandable that I delayed informing her until now?
[After all, the script was changed just for you! 】
The other person didn't say anything, but Ni Bingyan already understood his subtext.
But Ni Bingyan instinctively felt that something was wrong.
I hung up the phone, opened my mailbox, downloaded the new script, and flipped through it briefly, and found that the plot had not changed much.
but……
Axia's character has changed.
How can it take so much time to change just this little thing?
Ni Bingyan thought for a while and called director Taro Takeda.
The two had spoken before, and the other party was relieved to hear that she could speak fluent Japanese.
Because she was hired by Mr. Mars, she got the role directly without audition. Takeda Taro originally had some concerns, but after a conversation, his attitude toward her changed completely.
The two of them had a pretty pleasant chat.
As the movie was about to start shooting, it made perfect sense for the lead actor to call the director and check in on her feelings.
After all, we have to work together for the next four months.
"Sorry, Mr. Takeda, to disturb your rest at such a late hour!"
The call was connected, and Ni Bingyan said hello politely. Just as he was thinking about how to test, he heard a drunken voice coming from the other side:
"Hello? Hello? Hey! It's me! It's me... This is Takeda Taro. What do you want to see me for?"
Ni Bingyan rolled his eyes and directly changed his plan.
Instead of using that polite tone, he changed to the tone between acquaintances:
"Oh, that's it, about the new storyboards..."
"Storyboards? Oh, don't worry, I haven't been idle for more than two months. The storyboards and other things have been remade a long time ago. Don't worry, eh? The movie will start shooting as usual, there is no problem at all, understand? Hiccup~"
He spoke vaguely and let out a big wine burp.
Ni Bingyan said "Hmm" twice, said "Excuse me", and quickly hung up the phone.
I'm really afraid that if the phone hangs up too slowly, I won't be able to help but curse!
Damn, the script was revised more than two months ago, and the director's storyboards were redrawn. Damn it, the movie was about to start shooting, so I just gave her a new script. Is it still like changing the character? .
Even though Ni Bingyan has always had a good temper, he couldn't help but get angry!
He called Mars backhand.
Mars hadn't gotten up yet. When he heard the phone ringing, he first held his wife's head and kissed her forehead, then turned over and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
"Hello?"
Seeing that it was Ni Bingyan, he was a little curious as to why he wanted to see him so early.
You know, it's not even work time yet.
But in his profession, it doesn’t matter whether he is on or off duty.
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Mars was originally in a good mood, but after hearing what Ni Bingyan said, his face turned visibly foul.
"I'll ask about the situation first and call you back in a quarter of an hour. OK?"
After hanging up the phone, Mars, who was always elegant and calm, couldn't help but cursed "Fuck!" in a low voice.
Lilith arched next to him and sat up anyway.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Mars told her the situation, Lilith immediately smiled in understanding.
"The thing is obvious. The screenwriter and director originally wanted to find a foreign actor. Maybe the screenwriter also had a promising actor. However, the investors directly selected Ms. Ni. After the director learned about it, he thought it was okay for Ms. Ni to play Axia, but the screenwriter did not Don’t think so.”
Maybe when the screenwriter wrote the script, he was inspired by a certain actor. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
"If Ms. Ni's acting skills are not up to par, she will inevitably make a fool of herself.
"You also know that when we are on the set, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. If the director is strong, the actors can only obey the director's mercy and act as they want; if the actors are strong, they can follow their own wishes and change Lines, extra scenes, and all kinds of little tricks are endless.
"Miss Yamamoto and Taro Takeda have worked together three times, so I think they have a tacit understanding.
"Although Ms. Ni is Chinese, she is an artist under your command. She did get this role through your resource exchange. The screenwriter is worried that she will not obey the discipline after joining the group and will change the script at every turn to add more characters to her. It's troublesome, so I thought of this method to lower Miss Ni's prestige and deprive her of her right to speak. All I want is to make her obedient."
After all, the capital behind the crew has already lowered its head once, and there will be no psychological barrier if it lowers again.
Mars touched his chin, made two phone calls, gave his wife a look that said, "You really know what's going on," and then called Ni Bingyan back.
Ni Bingyan listened silently, but the fire in his heart was extinguished unconsciously.
Speaking of which, she has not received enough recognition internationally, so it is normal for Ms. Yamamoto to have concerns about her.
After all, she is truly becoming a resource person this time.
She said that people who can write that kind of script don't look like evil-minded people.
The printer kept spitting out documents, and Ni Bingyan folded them up expressionlessly, picked up the stapler and stapled them a few times, took a deep breath out the window, lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
Even if it’s such a big deal, you should take your beauty sleep first.
If you want to conquer a peak, the most important thing is of course to accumulate enough physical strength.
She decided that before leaving for the crew, she would not go anywhere.
At the same time, in a tavern in Kyoto, Miss Yamamoto and his wife were sitting face to face with Taro Takeda and his wife.
The four of them were somewhat tipsy, but still far from being drunk.
After Takeda Taro calmly hung up the phone, the four of them waited for Ni Bingyan's reaction. As a result, until the drinks were finished and only bamboo sticks were left in the barbecue, Ni Bingyan remained silent.
"Wow, I suddenly started to like her a little bit."
Miss Yamamoto touched her chin, hung the bag around her husband's neck, and then climbed onto his back skillfully.
Under the dim street lights, the petite and cute Miss Yamamoto, with a round face and a flushed face, lay on the man's solid back and turned around, waving to her old friend: "We're going back now, see you later~"
The couple here also waved their hands in a funny way: "See you later."

We arrived late and happened to come across someone selling medicine for bruises and bruises. Sister Wang was very disappointed.
