Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Adding Scenes for Her

She decided to wait until Lin Mengxing finished work before asking her properly. However, she noticed the director's expression had turned rather unpleasant. Lin Mengxing, seemingly oblivious, asked, "Director, which scene are we shooting next?" The director, scowling, called out, "Scriptwriter, scriptwriter." The scriptwriter quickly came over and asked respectfully, "Director, is there something wrong with the script?" The director held up the script and said, "Why does the female lead's second role have so few scenes? Add more for her." "Alright," the scriptwriter agreed immediately. Strangely, she sat down right there and started writing on the spot, as if she had been prepared for this all along. This scene left everyone dumbfounded. One of the actresses playing the third female lead was green with envy. When her agent had first shown her the script, she thought the second female lead was a villain and didn't want to play that role, so she chose to be the loyal little maid by the female lead's side. The little maid had plenty of scenes and appeared frequently. To stand out, you had to get more screen time. But unexpectedly, during filming, the director kept adding scenes for the second female lead. Moreover, the second female lead had been heavily rewritten—she was no longer the simple villain everyone despised. They thought her scenes had already been added enough, but now he wanted to add even more? She had romantic scenes with the male lead, confrontations with the female lead, interactions with the second male lead, and even a tragic childhood backstory. What more could be added? Where would it fit? So infuriating. If she had known, she would have taken that role herself. Lin Mengxing helplessly spread her hands toward Shen Yunyun, her expression both innocent and resigned. The director wouldn't let her finish work and told her to wait aside while everyone else's scenes were shot first. Lin Mengxing had no choice but to stay. Shen Yunyun, feeling indignant, pulled Lin Mengxing aside and said, "Sister Mengxing, isn't the director bullying you?" Lin Mengxing smiled and replied, "How is this bullying? Others have to pay to get extra scenes. Every time I make the director angry, he has the scriptwriter add scenes for me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If things really go south, you can take care of me." "Sure," Shen Yunyun agreed without hesitation. But thinking about it, it was true—some people did pay for extra scenes. She glanced thoughtfully at the young director. Could he have taken a liking to Sister Mengxing? He was a married man with a family. He'd better not have any shady ideas, or she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't do something about it. The scriptwriter quickly finished writing the new scenes for the second female lead and excitedly brought them over. "Director, I've added the scenes. This is the story between the second female lead and her childhood sweetheart. I set it up so that her sweetheart passes the imperial exams as a top scholar, refuses the emperor's arranged marriage, and insists on marrying her. But the second female lead, wanting revenge, doesn't want to drag him down and firmly rejects him. The sweetheart drowns his sorrows in drink, stumbles, and falls into the water, dying..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yunyun nearly cursed out loud. Couldn't this scriptwriter write something better? What kind of heartbreaking plot was this? What did that childhood sweetheart do to deserve this? And the key point was that the director actually agreed. So, they were about to start filming. But they still hadn't found an actor for the childhood sweetheart. For a minor role like this, they just needed to pick a random extra who looked like a scholar. However, as the director turned around, he spotted a very handsome man on set. He immediately waved him over. Gu Changye pointed at himself, looking uncertainly at the director. "Yes, you. Aren't you Lin Mengxing's fan? There's a scene with Lin Mengxing here. Do you want to take it? You'll get three hundred for finishing this scene."
