Although the investors of "Two Lives of Flowers" are Tang and Zhengrong Pictures, the producer is listed as Yue Zheng.
But the actual decision maker was Yue Ze.
In order to make a name for his nephew's company.
For this first TV series invested and produced by Zhengrong Pictures, Yue Ze not only returned to star in the film himself, but also used his own connections to build one of the top teams in the Chinese television industry.
It can be said that every single person in the crew of "Two Lives of Flowers", from the director, screenwriter, and leading actor to the supporting actors, makeup, styling, and lighting.
The entire crew is composed of the best people in their profession and in the television industry.
Except for one of the heroines—An Liuli.
In the office, Yue Ze was slumped in the sofa with his legs crossed, frowning as he read the protest comments from fans on Weibo.
Replace An Liuli!
Resolutely boycott An Liuli!
An Liuli, get out of the crew of "Two Lives of Love"!
Throwing his phone away in annoyance, the man raised his cold and indifferent deep pupils, and his deep blue eyes fell on the face of Han Shuo who was sitting opposite him.
Han Shuo is the director of this film "Two Lives", and a representative of emerging domestic directors.
"Can An Liuli's role be further shortened?" He looked at Han Shuo and said coldly.
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yue Ze, the real investor and producer, would be so disgusted with An Liuli.
Not only did he clearly tell him to reduce An Liuli's role.
Even after he had clearly stated that some plots could be cut, he still felt it was not enough.
Han Shuo didn't understand why he signed An Liuli to play the role of Zheng Meiyi if he was so pessimistic about her.
From Han Shuo's perspective, Zheng Meiyi's character is something that can be played out, of course, the prerequisite is that her acting skills must be up to par.
"If we reduce it further, it will affect the plot. Or, can we change the plot? Change the character of Zheng Meixue to the absolute heroine, and Zheng Meiyi to the vicious female supporting role."
Han Shuo tried to suggest.
However, he was unwilling to make such a change as it would be too cliché and turn it into a melodrama.
The original plot of "Two Lives" was actually intended to show how two sisters had different personalities and life choices, which led to different outcomes.
Although Zheng Meiyi is ambitious and will do anything to achieve her goals, she is not a bad person in the traditional sense.
She just wanted to win too much.
"No need to change the plot." Yue Ze's deep blue eyes darkened. He also has his own persistence in art and will only delete An Liuli's role without causing any harm.
If it meant changing the fundamentals of the script, he wouldn't do it.
but…
"You can delete the scenes between me and Zheng Meiyi. Especially the scene where Zheng Meiyi seduces Mo Chenyuan."
If not necessary, Yue Ze resists all scenarios that might involve physical contact with An Liuli.
In the drama "Two Lives", in order to show Zheng Meiyi's ambition to get to the top at all costs, three scenes were originally planned in which she would take the initiative to seduce Mo Chenyuan.
In addition, there is a scene where she sends the drunk Mo Chenyuan home after a social event.
In that scene, Zheng Meiyi will climb onto the bed.
Han Shuo frowned and said, "If you really don't like An Liuli, you can reduce the three seduction scenes to one. But the bed-climbing scene cannot be deleted, it is the main part."
Yue Ze nodded and did not object.
Therefore, although the final negotiation result did not lead to major changes to the script, An Liuli's role was still reduced a lot without anyone noticing.

The next day, "Two Lives of Flowers" officially started filming.
When all the main creative staff members were present and ready to start filming and worship the gods, they discovered that only An Liuli was missing.
"Really? You're not at your most popular now, why are you still being so arrogant and late?"
"Tsk, I heard that An Liuli is always late."
"Haha, he is indeed a big star. Do you think he is more popular than Yue Ze and Wen Feiyan?"
Just as the staff and reporters on the scene were whispering, a graceful figure got out of the car from a distance and walked towards them.
