Killing Mary Sue [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

"She jumped off a tall building, did she fall or fly?"

……

Snapped.

The thick manuscript was ruthlessly thrown on the sofa, Elizabeth Margot gracefully crossed her legs, raised her eyebrows and squinted at the black-haired woman sitting beside her, pulled her lips, raised her voice, and smiled Rou didn't smile and said, "This is the best script you brought me—I, Elizabeth Margot?"

Jane didn't seem guilty at all, she even kept a smile on her face, she nodded her head when facing the top actor's unceremonious and even sharp questioning, and replied, "Yes, Miss Margot—you don't Like it?"

The question made Elizabeth choke, as if a fire was burning in her heart, it was so hot that she could hardly speak, she stared at this new assistant who didn't know what to do, and secretly ground her teeth.

How should she say it?Who is she? She is such a well-known figure in the show business circle, the youngest actress in history, winning awards and being soft-handed, even the most tempered directors and producers have to give up three points in front of her, countless people The talented top actress who is proud to have acted opposite her - she, Elizabeth Margot, and the latest assistant whom I recruited personally, told her without humility that she put the "grand and complete , The relationship between the characters is intricate, and it is expected to become a phenomenon-level TV series this year." The script was sent to her predecessor, Anne Oakley, but only one "mainly tells stories of small people investigating crimes, and also contains trivial daily life" This script Give her a soap opera script that is boring and flat at first glance? !

If it wasn't for the crazy warnings in my heart to be elegant, reserved, calm, not to overthrow the table, not to swear, or else she would be published in the tabloids... Elizabeth couldn't help her tantrum and directly slapped the table to let her go—little person?ha!When has an actor of her level ever played a so-called little-known little character? !So what if it's the heroine?Which of the protagonists of her previous works is not a representative figure with great personal characteristics and distinguished status?Why is that green tea worthy of the script of a "phenomenal TV series", but she has to endure the torture of soap operas? !Why!

Elizabeth stared at her new assistant fiercely, holding back her anger, her eyes and tone sounded gloomy and cold, "Give me an explanation, or you will never get into this circle from today on—"

How can an assistant be so inappropriate?Knowing that her temperament and appearance are more suitable for playing the role of aristocrats, but she still keeps the everyday style?Is she a screenwriter?Do you know what to do and what not to do?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, Elizabeth couldn't help but glanced at the script that had been left aside, and became even angrier when she saw the name on it—"Morgan"? !Is this a person's name or the name of American Red Maple? !How could a name that was so unremarkable at first glance and impossible to remember be suitable for her?

It sounds very different from the other script "Queen" that Jane sent to Anne Oakley in terms of name alone!

Queen? !Ha, how could that scheming bitch Bailianhua be worthy of this kind of script?She is not even worthy of washing the feet of a real queen, she will only frame other vixens who take the opportunity to rise to power——

Thinking of this, Elizabeth felt a dull pain in her ribs.Although the final investigation results of the accident that fell from the building showed that it was not man-made, she just felt that this incident was inseparable from the admission ticket—how could it be so coincidental? In the most critical scene, the rope broke and she was injured and hospitalized. White Lotus was chosen by the director to replace her role? ! ——Although the production team paid a lot of compensation for breaking the contract, it can’t make up for her loss at all—that’s her role, her movie, her honor, how much thought and energy she spent, it’s money Can you figure it out? !She didn't like this little money at all. She was angry because she chose an inhuman person. How could she be blindfolded by this kind of thing and be used as a stepping stone again to make wedding dresses for others!

Thinking of it makes my stomach full of fire!It was simply a shame and humiliation that could not be erased in her life!

But at this time, this guy came to add fuel to the fire, lightly telling himself that the script she liked more was sent to that Anne Oakley, leaving only the one that Jane Doy thought was more suitable for her —is she mad?How dare you do this?Who allowed her to make her own claims?She is her own, did she forget?

Facing the boss's angry stare, Jane smiled very good-naturedly, picked up the script from the sofa and handed it to Elizabeth, and asked her patiently, "Have you finished it?"

"You still have the guts to ask me?!" Elizabeth opened her eyes wide, her hands were so itchy that she wanted to slap the table, glaring, "You are my assistant! Shouldn't the best book be left to me first? Why send it to that bitch? —that woman? Don’t you want to do it?”

Jane rubbed her nose, and replied calmly, "This is my best book, I choose to leave it to you, because I know that only you can play the heroine in my mind - other people, even Any 'talented actress' who blows up the sky will not do."

This sentence is very reasonable... Elizabeth, who was poked in the heart, muttered a few words in her heart, and her anger subsided a lot in an instant, but she was still depressed and refused to take over Jane's new script. He snorted, "I've heard that many people are interested in that "Queen", and several seniors in the industry will be invited to play supporting roles... Isn't this just the blatant rhythm of praising newcomers? Think I'm stupid ? No matter how good this book is, it’s produced by the original author, and it can’t be compared to "The Queen"——I’ve seen a lot of things like this, so compare me with newcomers?—No way!"

After Jane heard this, she didn't explain much, and directly put the script on Elizabeth's lap, facing the imposing stare of the other party, she smiled gently and said, "You can read it first, Liz. "

"Don't call me Liz! Who allowed you to call me that?!"

"Okay, Liz."

Elizabeth held the script and was about to get angry again. A pair of Shang Jane's sincere and sincere eyes, the anger stopped halfway up, and gradually died down.She gritted her teeth, turned her head to choose to be out of sight, You Qi waved to her irritably, and began to chase people away, "Go, go, disappear in front of my eyes quickly, it's annoying to see you like this - go away Don't bother me—"

Jane shrugged, got up and left the room cooperatively, and closed the door for her gracefully.

The house was quiet again.

Elizabeth frowned slightly, staring at the manuscript in her hand that was not even half as thick as "The Queen". The name "Morgan", which was so ordinary that it was easy to forget, lay quietly on the paper.There is no author's name, but there is a very short line written on it——

"She jumped off a tall building, did she fall or fly?"

If Elizabeth were to choose by herself, she would most likely choose the extravagant court drama "The Queen", which is obviously more atmospheric and more serious. After all, she has been immersed in this circle for so many years, what kind of book will be popular and what will be quiet She can see clearly at a glance.It is not easy to be an actor. In addition to honing your acting skills as always, increasing exposure is also a very important part. After all, this is an era when only newcomers laugh but old ones cry. Most audiences will only remember the most frequent appearances on the screen. face, and a TV series that is going to be popular all over the country can obviously achieve this point, and the topic of the starring role is increasing day by day.

Compared with "The Queen", this "Morgan" seems to be a bit petty. The common heroine detective stories and unit dramas are not long in terms of thickness, and it seems that there is no tipping point at all.

But her assistant said, this is the best one.She speaks so calmly and with certainty, and the writing of the screenwriter is like a god. Only he knows which one of the creator's painstaking finished products is more perfect—since it came from her arm, maybe there is something unexpected that she hasn't discovered yet?

Elizabeth frowned and thought for a long time, and finally decided to trust her assistant's vision again—maybe this time is a turning point?She is tired of playing those celebrities and aristocrats who have the aura of heroines. Maybe the new role and the new script can give her a different vitality?Shouldn't an excellent actor try all the extraordinary lives?

Little people, maybe they can do big things?Who knows?

Elizabeth took a deep breath, opened her eyes, calmed down, picked up the script, and slowly opened the first page of "Morgan".

……

……

Anne Oakley has been on a roll lately.

She squeezed out Elizabeth Margot and became famous overnight, and all major social platforms on the Internet invariably circulated her impressive acting skills when she replaced the other party, which is not at all like a newcomer who has not yet debuted. spread like wildfire.And after successfully signing a contract with the company, relying on the appearance and the help of the system to open up the relationship between the upper and lower levels, various high-quality resources were continuously sent to him, including endorsement advertisements, various sponsorships, film and television scripts, etc.

In her previous life, Annie would have cherished these hard-earned resources, but after her rebirth, the star road has gone much smoother than before, and the system is very complete, it will automatically judge the level of the script and then choose the best, eliminating the lack of plot and characters The mediocre ones, most of which are enough to detonate hot spots and be popular with the audience, mainly commercial popcorn films.Although the plots of these films are lacking, the special effects are wonderful and full of gimmicks. The participants will have a very high degree of topicality for a period of time. Many actors will like and choose the type of film and television.

Out of trust in the system, Annie accepted five or six books of the same type. As expected, she became popular very quickly, and she had a faint tendency to catch up with her predecessors. A large number of fans surrounded her, screaming and calling her name, and even fainted under her beauty at close range.Annie accepted the swarms of flowers and applause with peace of mind. However, as the time passed, she gradually found that the scripts she received were almost all of the same type, and the protagonists were all beautiful and sexy and could play cool... She finally felt something. tedious.

The skills given by the system stay at the second level [If you realize something] and have not advanced for a long time. The audience is also a little tired of her always playing the same role. Many fans leave messages on the homepage hoping that she can change.It's not that Annie didn't notice it, but the system reassured her that "popcorn chips have low risk and high return, and it's the best choice for her so far", so she didn't resist.But later, I felt sick when I looked at the green screen, and the fact that she didn't have a physical role and cutouts didn't help her title of "Genius Actress". Some tabloids even commented on "Whether Annie Oakley is facing the end of her talent after a short-lived life?" ...Finally, Annie decided it was time for a change.

She ignored the system warning and forced it to suspend the function of screening scripts, and she wanted to see it in person.And although it took a lot of effort to look at it, it was not fruitless - she found three interesting scripts, which were completely different from the previous ones.

The first one is hard science fiction, filled with a lot of technical terms that she can't understand at all, and it speaks clearly.But ignoring these nouns and data, it actually tells a story of time reincarnation, the logic is very strict, and the seemingly insignificant details in the front can be perfectly connected with the plot at the end. After reading it, it makes people feel suddenly enlightened and creepy. Feeling, quite similar to the style of "Interstellar".

The second is a psychological thriller. The text description is a bit dark and gothic, and it has a movie texture. When reading it, it is like a reappearance of the scene. The inadvertent part can always make people feel cold sweat, but at first glance, it is obviously about a couple. The story between the two, but the details go to the bottom of the heart, vividly describing a high-class wife who pretends to be a beautiful, dignified, generous and intelligent person, but is actually cold, cunning and anti-social.

The third one is a majestic, gorgeously written, and full-bodied court drama. It tells the story of a little girl who was neglected and looked down on everywhere. to the saga of the High Queen.It involves a variety of political metaphors, which are quite suggestive of reality, and there are many complex relationships among the characters. Undercurrents surge under the superficial peace of the dynasty, hiding bloody methods and unbearable past events, like thorny roses blooming in the depths of the night, with a sting in their mouths. The secret fragrance... The story is very readable, the characterization is extremely three-dimensional, full of characteristics, every seemingly inconspicuous little character has its significance, and has an unexpected effect on the promotion of the story. Unexpected and reasonable, it is so wonderful that people can't put it down, and I will read it every night.

After reading these three scripts, the system suggested that she choose the second one, because the character of the heroine best meets Anne's standard of "sharpening acting skills", and it is very likely that she can successfully upgrade her skills to the third level [Hurricane Entry], At that time, her star path will be even higher.But after thinking about it for a while, Anne still chose the last script, "The Queen".

She believes that although the first hard science fiction book has a logical and unexpected ending, the audience's acceptance is not high, and there are very few of the last ones patiently seen, but most of the time the plot is obscure and slightly boring, although it is very likely to become a high-profile novel. It is produced by word of mouth, but it is difficult to become popular, which is a flaw of niche themes.

And the second one, although the script and characters are relatively perfect, but the style and ending are too dark, it is difficult for some audiences to accept and may even have a bad impression of her. She has seen too many precedents of "role substitution into life". There are also a lot of actors who have played too many villains and are not well-known, and she doesn't want to be one of them.

The third script "Queen" has a big cost, big production and big structure. Although she can only play the third female role due to various reasons, she is the most loyal friend of the heroine, and she is also the second most popular. Compared with the heroine who seems a little reckless and naive, she is a "smart, cunning, worldly but not forgetting her heart" personality, which is admired by all men.Visually, it will attract fans very much, and it is one of the few heroines who can survive to the last episode.

Not to mention, the most crucial point that cannot be ignored: I heard that her male god Leonardo was invited to play the lead role in "The Queen", playing the role of a loyal knight and having a very moving love story with the queen. Although he died tragically in the middle because of protecting his lover, he is the most eye-catching and outstanding male character in this book, and he is a proper palace.If you can have close contact with the male god in this drama, plus the above advantages... Without hesitation, Annie chose the third script.

She went to the audition and won the role of the third female lead as expected. Her brilliant performance won unanimous praise from the director and several leading actors present, especially when she saw Leonardo's surprise to her. The gaze was full of appreciation and curiosity... It didn't take her long to get the male god's personal contact information, establishing the first step of mutual contact.

As for "Annie Oakley"'s boyfriend Celicio, he did come to her several times after she became famous, but the indifference and alienation she showed made this smart and interesting man gradually understand what she meant. He tried to contact her again, but after getting no response from Annie, he was finally disheartened and formally broke up with her.After Annie received the text message "You are no longer my girl, you are not my Anne. I think maybe I misunderstood you, and we should both calm down for a while." She felt relieved.

Where there is no grass in the world, why surround a man, or a man who can't accompany you to the end?Anne thought so, looking at the handsome knight who was drawing out his long sword to swear loyalty to the queen on the set, she licked her lips, turned on the phone, and wrote a sentence to the number marked "MyMan", her hands painted with water-red nail polish lightly Tap the send button——

After today's knight scene ended, Leonardo sat on a chair and took the mobile phone from his assistant. After turning on the mobile phone and seeing the latest news, he paused, turned his head, and happened to meet Annie not far away. to look.

At that moment, there was a subtle change in the eyes of the two of them, and there were secret emotions that were tacitly circulated.She smiled generously at him, and Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a while, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing a playful smile as well.

Gradually pressing down on the screen, such a sentence can be vaguely seen.

"My mighty and strong knight, do you prefer to serve the queen, or 'bow down' for the princess?

from A"

……

……

At night, while the "princess" and the knight were having a sweet tryst with the queen on their backs, Jane came to Elizabeth's apartment, opened the door with the key, and saw a scene that made her smile.

That Elizabeth Margot, who has always been arrogant and mean, with an unforgiving mouth, is wearing a white vest and jeans that are not in line with her aesthetic style at this moment, and she is studying the notebook in her hand with her long legs crossed up and her head down.Hearing the sound, she raised her head and looked towards the door, and Jane easily found that she had even dyed her hair black, cut it into ear-length curly hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, half-opened and half-closed her eyes, her eyes were lazy and deep, It is looming and invisible, like a sleepy black cat that doesn't care about the owner's call, a nocturnal creature that is invisible to the sun and flames.

As soon as Jane saw her like this, she laughed.

This is "Morgan"."Mapple Hunter" has a high IQ, bipolar disorder, mild schizophrenia, severe insomnia, and smoking addiction. He is good at profiling, gun fighting, and psychology.her heroine.

"I know my origin: I am contented, like a flame.

Burning and burning itself.

What I grasped turned to light; what I discarded turned to ashes.

I am the flame, for sure. "

After Elizabeth muttered this sentence, she took a deep breath, and flicked the mirror frame on her nose skillfully and briskly—it was one of Morgan's habitual movements.She looked at Jane Doe, who was smiling and silent at the door, and said without hesitation——

"This book, I took it."

"From today on, I'll be Maple Hunter. 'Maple Hunter.'"

"I am Morgan."

The author has something to say: "Morgan" is actually a planned article... Is this an early spoiler hahahahaha

There is another update in the evening, to make up for yesterday's.
