Chapter 167: The screenwriter should have your name
“My suggestion is to look at Lin Xuefei’s choice.”
Even though Jiang Lingxi just said this, Wei Minmin was clear about it and nodded immediately, "I understand, this is indeed the method with the least impact on the crew."
Two assistants who followed them to help them keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions: "..."
These choices are so clear, why do they just feel clouded and foggy when they hear it?
Is the gap between the brain and the brain so big?
However, there were many questions hidden in their hearts, and neither of them opened their mouths to ask them.
This is no longer something that little assistants like them can be curious about. Regarding what they just said, there are only four words they have to do: keep it secret.
Jiang Lingxi didn't care about what Wei Minmin told Wei Xiao. There is no shortage of transparent and smart people in this world, and Director Wei is naturally not stupid. In addition, this crew has spent a lot of effort on his part, so how could he not I won't let anyone ruin it.
She just needs to handle this matter properly and concentrate on waiting for the crew to start filming.
The next day was the day when the cast and crew, except for the leading actors, took their final makeup photos. Originally, it didn’t matter if these small characters didn’t take their final makeup photos, but because of the director’s request and because this is a historical drama, it was naturally more rigorous. .
It didn't matter to Jiang Lingxi, she just stayed in the hotel and read the script. Three meals a day are provided, making the stay so comfortable.
On the other hand, Wei Minmin, who lives next door, knocked on the door of her room in the middle of the morning, pretending to be holding the script in her hand, and said as she walked in: "Sister Xi, I'll come to you to review the script, is it convenient?"
Jiang Lingxi raised her eyes to look at her, patted the place beside her, and tapped the phone on the coffee table with her chin, "It's inconvenient, didn't you come directly here?"
"Hey hey hey," Wei Minmin sat down and pinched a grape that Lu Zhengzheng had just washed and brought over. He glanced at the script spread by Jiang Lingxi on his lap. "The main reason is that I'm a little bored. Queen She and Lin Xuefei, who live across the street, can't talk to each other, so they can only bother you, Sister Xi. Well, is this a comment? "
She originally just wanted to see which page Jiang Lingxi was looking at, but she didn't see the page number yet. She first saw that there were a lot of words written in several places on the opened page.
Jiang Lingxi nodded, "That's right."
“What is that, can I see it?”
Jiang Lingxi was about to go to the bathroom, so she handed over the script in her hand.
There is nothing that cannot be read in this comment. Anyway, she will bring it up during the script reading later.
But when she came out of the bathroom, she saw Wei Minmin suddenly raised his head and looked towards her, with a complex and shocked expression on his face and eyes.
“Why do you think I’m doing this?”
Wei Minmin opened her mouth and managed to find her voice, "Sister Xi, if my uncle sees this script in your hand, he will probably not be able to sleep tonight."
As for why I couldn’t sleep, I naturally wanted to see how I found so many omissions or things that needed to be revised in the script I had worked so hard to complete, which I thought was perfect.
When she originally read the script, she didn't think there was anything bad about it. She even declined other jobs to act in this drama. Firstly, it was purely because she liked to worship her ancestor Wei Fuying. Secondly, the script was written so well. But it was much better than the scripts she had seen that appeared to be historical dramas but were actually love dramas between men and women.
But after reading the annotations written by Jiang Lingxi, she carefully considered them, and was shocked to find that if she made changes according to the opinions in these annotations, it would be more reasonable, both in terms of individual plots and overall.
“Sister Xi, I think my uncle needs to add your name as the screenwriter of this script.”
She swore that she absolutely meant what she said. "Let me see it again."
Wei Minmin looked at the script that had returned to its owner. According to the frequency of almost every page she had just read, she could see at least one comment. When the script was finished...
She looked down at the script in her hand, which only marked Wei Fuying's lines, and felt that she could put down the highlighter for the time being.
Perhaps this script will undergo a major change after the round-up reading, and everyone will change to a new script by then.
“Originally, I planned to ask you to comment on the lines,” she muttered in a low voice, “Now I think it’s better to forget it. Sister Xi, it’s more important for you to comment.”
So the original dialogue changed to the two of them sitting side by side, eating fruit and reading the script in their hands.
*
Not to mention that when Wei Xiao saw his eldest niece again, he received a look with some sympathy from her. He was feeling a little upset because of what Wei Minmin told him last night.
Before he could figure out how to communicate with Lin Xuefei, another dispute broke out in the dressing room, and the sound was so loud that he could hear it standing in the yard.
Immediately he frowned and shouted: "What's going on?"
The people next to me hurriedly ran over to check it out, and then came back and said, "It's the palace maids who were quarreling over the distribution of jewelry and costumes."
Since it is a historical drama, and the drama involves a lot of court and harem, there are many actors playing the roles of palace maids, and they are divided into one and two groups.
Comparatively speaking, one group has more scenes. Although most of them are used as backdrops, they also have more opportunities to show their faces and have some lines. The second group is much less, and most of them just serve as backgrounds.
Now the dressing room of the second group is busy quietly, but it is the first group that is making a fuss.
After hearing this, Wei Xiao's face darkened, and he walked towards the dressing room of the palace maids.
Before he even reached the door, the sounds inside became clear.
The woman's voice came out plausibly, "Qingyuan is the most powerful palace maid under Emperor Yuan Zhao. If it weren't for her lack of status, it is not impossible to get a main actor for this role. How can the jewelry on her head be inferior to other palace maids?" This costume is too old-fashioned. I must have made a mistake! I asked for a recheck.”
Then there was a somewhat embarrassed voice, "I have already checked with the makeup team and costume team to make sure there is nothing wrong. The jewelry and costumes used by the character Qingyuan look like this."
“Are you really sure that such an old-fashioned color is not for some old lady character?”
Hearing this, Wei Xiao felt a sudden change.
He carefully studied each role in the play, even the one with only one line, with several consultants invited. The makeup and costumes were also carefully studied with the makeup team before being finalized.
Moreover, the crew members are all those he is used to, so it is impossible for him to make such a simple mistake.
The words he heard meant that someone was dissatisfied and questioned his decision.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his feet and continued walking forward.
He wanted to see who was so bold as to question him and the crew?
