Reborn to choose a career, I choose to be the most popular female star

The nurse pushed Mr. Jin into the ward and moved him to the bed. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and started asking the two of them.

"Didn't the doctor just say that it would take half a year before I could pass away?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

"Just take a good rest first, there's no rush for other things," Jiang Linyu said

"No, no," said Mr. Jin, shaking his head. "How can I delay the entire filming schedule? Jiang girl, go talk to the doctor and ask if you can be discharged this month."

Lu Zheng's face was obviously ugly. He seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself. He just said "I'm going to make a phone call" and left the ward.

At this time, the producer and Director Wang also came to the ward.

"Teacher Jin, how do you feel? You said that what happened today was because we didn't do our job well. I will go back and scold them," the producer said smoothly.

"It has nothing to do with others, I just didn't pay attention"

Apart from his strict attitude towards acting, Mr. Jin has always been tolerant of other things.

"Don't worry, I won't delay the filming. I will finish the filming even if I have to use a cane."

"Teacher Jin really understands our work. You should take good care of your injuries first, and everything else will be easy to handle."

"Yes, you should heal your wound first."

Others also took the opportunity to express their concern and said some insignificant words.

"Then let's go back today and let Teacher Jin have a good rest."

"Teacher Jin, we are leaving first."

Before they left, Jiang Linyu called Wang Qiang in a low voice: "Director Wang, can you stay for a while?"

He nodded.

After the people left, the two walked to the stairwell on this floor to talk. They didn't notice that Lu Zheng, who had just finished a phone call, was just around the corner on the upper floor.

Jiang Linyu got straight to the point and said to him, "Director Wang, can you not replace Mr. Jin?"

Wang Qiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Linyu to take the initiative to plead with Mr. Jin. As far as he knew, most of the actors who acted with Mr. Jin couldn't stand him behind his back.

"This is not something that Lao Hu and I can decide. Now it's not just the producer, the investor also called us just now and made it clear that the filming progress cannot be affected by anyone."

The investor knew about it so quickly? This was somewhat beyond Jiang Linyu's expectations.

However, she also knew that Director Wang had no need to lie to her, and they really had no decision-making power in many matters.

"It takes a lot of time to change actors and reshoot. Director Wang, you should know this best. Is there no other way?"

This point also touched Director Wang's mind. It was he who took the initiative to find Mr. Jin. If it were to change other actors, he couldn't think of anyone more suitable.

"Given Mr. Jin's age and condition, we wouldn't dare let him come even if he was willing to use a cane to finish the scene. If anything happened to him during the filming, we wouldn't be able to take the responsibility."

Knowing that what Wang Qiang said made sense, after a moment of silence, Jiang Linyu said, "If we only cut out the parts that he didn't shoot later, can we try to keep the parts that he shot earlier?"

Wang Qiang was stunned: "But most of the scenes later are about you and him. If you delete them, your scenes will be less."

According to the script, the person who had the most scenes with the young Qiaoying, besides the male lead, was the old man played by Mr. Jin. Not long after the adult Qiaoying appeared, the old man passed away, and the scenes with the adult Qiaoying and the old man had already been filmed.

That's why Wang Qiang was so surprised. If Mr. Jin's role was cut, the person most affected would be Jiang Linyu, and it would have no effect on Shang Wenjing at all.

"If we can try to handle it this way, I can accept it. It's not just the amount of scenes that makes the audience remember a character that matters," Jiang Linyu said.

Lu Zheng at the corner had a complicated look on his face. At this moment, he regretted not telling the truth about his identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to play such a small role, and his part would have been reduced again and again.

"If you can accept it, I can go and discuss revising the script." Wang Qiang's expression was slightly moved: "If they agree, this is the most time-saving and labor-saving way."

"Okay, please tell me the result."

Wang Qiang nodded slightly and went back to the crew.

Jiang Linyu was about to return to the ward when Lu Zheng's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Is this really acceptable?"

Only then did she realize that Lu Zheng was here and realized that he had overheard their entire conversation.

"Have you finished your phone call?"

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "If you don't want to delete the scenes, tell me"

"Could it be that Mr. Lu is a big shot who can call the shots in the entertainment industry?"

Jiang Linyu was naturally joking. How could a big boss wear a watch that was so fake?

"Actually, I am not without any selfish motives. I think it might be better not to shoot the following scenes."

Lu Zheng frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

“I just feel that after the characters’ values ​​changed, I didn’t particularly like it.”

In addition to personal feelings, Jiang Linyu also has another basis for judgment, which is the feedback from the broadcast of this drama in the previous life.

What impressed me most was my parents’ comment on the young Qiaoying when they were watching the drama: “How could she be such a good kid at the beginning, but end up like this?”

This is what she recalled after reading the script in detail.

When the young Qiaoying first appeared, ordinary people would feel involved and like her. However, because she suffered a lot and experienced many things, her behavior changed a lot in the later period and in the adult Qiaoying stage. If she is not performed well, the audience will be bored.

I don’t know if the director is aware of this, but now he is giving priority to shooting the better scenes in the previous part.

"If a character is amazing, but the audience feels that they haven't seen enough and leave, I think this is also a way for the audience to remember me."

Lu Zheng had read the script when it was sent to the company. The story was good and the heroine was indeed outstanding at the beginning, but the character was a little broken later. Especially the values ​​of the adult Qiaoying, Lu Zheng felt that it might not be what the current market likes.

This is also the main reason why Junhe Media did not choose to produce this drama in the end.

But he didn't expect that she, a newcomer, could see so clearly the truth that most actors who only cared about the number of scenes didn't understand.

Lu Zheng looked at her with some appreciation.

"If you've made up your mind, I support you."

In her previous life, Jiang Linyu had never received understanding and support from Wang Zihao, so Lu Zheng's simple words at this moment actually touched her heart.

And she did not suppress herself, and went over and hugged him slightly.

“Thank you my boyfriend”

Lu Zheng froze all over. Both her behavior and her words "my boyfriend" made him feel uncomfortable.

He never knew that being in love could feel so strange.

But soon, Jiang Linyu let go.

"Let's go back and ask Teacher Jin if he's hungry?"

Lu Zheng nodded stiffly, his voice low and hoarse: "Yeah"

As the two walked towards the ward, Jiang Linyu asked curiously, "Why don't I see Teacher Jin's family? Have they not arrived yet?"

"He is not married, and all his close relatives are dead," Lu Zheng said

This was unexpected to her. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's hire a caregiver for him. It's okay if the salary is higher. The most important thing is that she is careful and patient and can chat with him."

"I've asked an assistant." Lu Zheng almost blurted out the word "assistant," but quickly changed his mind and said, "I asked a friend to help me find one. Also, my grandma will come too. She will often come to accompany Teacher Jin during this period."

"That's great. I heard from Teacher Jin that they are old friends."

Jiang Linyu suddenly thought that if he came to the hospital to visit the patient, he would inevitably meet his grandmother, which might be an opportunity for the two of them to get married soon.

"Does your grandma know that you have a girlfriend?"

"Well, coming to see you is another purpose for her coming here."

Lu Zheng stopped in front of the ward door.

"Xiaoyu, you are still young. If you don't want to see me, you don't have to."

Jiang Linyu: “…!”

I'm not small! I really want to see!

"Grandma came all the way from my hometown, it would be bad if I didn't see her, it's okay"

Jiang Linyu smiled sincerely, afraid that he would think she was unwilling.
