The next morning, Sheng Jiaoyang felt a difference in the atmosphere as soon as he entered the set.
Before Sheng Jiaoyang asked what happened, a call came in.
It's Xu Ping.
"Sister Ping, wait a minute and let me guess." Sheng Jiaoyang said immediately.
"Have you seen it?" Xu Ping's tone was a little surprised.
"Is there another scandal about me? With whom? Zhang Yue?" After thinking about it, Sheng Jiaoyang only thought of Zhang Yue who was at the party yesterday. After all, they had acted as a couple before, so it would be easy to be photographed together in private. Makes you think.
Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jiaojiao was still the same Jiaojiao and was not sensitive to gossip news at all.
"It's not Zhang Yue, it's Gu Zhou."
"Ah?" Sheng Jiaoyang was stunned.
"Someone filmed Gu Zhou helping you into the hotel room late at night."
Sheng Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Zeng Huan beside him. At this time, Zeng Huan silently stretched out his phone, and the picture on the screen came into view. It was a picture. The picture on the picture showed two figures from behind, one wearing clothes. Gu Zhou was wearing a nightgown, and she was leaning on Gu Zhou. Gu Zhou helped her into the room.
With just one glance, Sheng Jiaoyang knew what was going on.
"When did he leave after helping me back to the room?" she asked Zeng Huan.
"Just two minutes." Zeng Huan recalled.
Sheng Jiaoyang nodded, and she said to Xu Ping on the other end of the phone: "Come here and help me go to the hotel to get the surveillance. You know what to do next, so I'll leave this to you."
"Okay, I'll be right over."
"How is that Ye Zi?" Sheng Jiaoyang thought of another thing.
"Reborn." Xu Ping replied.
"Oh? Bring it here and show it to me."
Seeing Sheng Jiaoyang hang up the phone, Zeng Huan said, "I didn't see anyone else in the corridor last night. Who could have secretly taken this photo?"
"Just look at the surveillance cameras and you'll know," Sheng Jiaoyang turned to Zeng Huan, "But weren't you the one who picked me up last night?"
"Yes, when I opened the door last night, you accidentally knocked on the door next to me. Then the male god came out and held his hand to help you into the room."
"Ah, the male god is here." Zeng Huan reminded in a low voice.
Sheng Jiaoyang turned around and saw Gu Zhou, who looked tall and handsome in a black robe with red stripes and a bun and a hood, walking towards him.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Gu Zhou asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, get some sleep." Sheng Jiaoyang bowed according to Wu Qinghe's posture in the play.
Gu Zhou laughed and said jokingly, "You can get your box lunch today."
What he means by "getting a box lunch" is that the scene is over and you can leave.
"Yes, I will wrap up today's scene after filming."
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, everyone around them was curious, but because of their identities, no one dared to ask.
But some people are not included.
Qu Wen deliberately came over and asked in a casual tone: "What's going on with you two?"
"What's going on?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked.
"When I woke up this morning and turned on my phone, I saw your gossip news. I felt strange. Didn't you go out to play yesterday, Jiaojiao? It must have been eleven or twelve o'clock when Gu Zhou and I returned from filming the night scene. Why did you get together again?"
Sheng Jiaoyang has been paying attention to Qu Wen's expression, but the expression on the latter's face is very natural and there is no flaw in it.
"I came back later than you yesterday. I was a little confused after drinking some wine. Then I knocked on the wrong door and woke up Brother Zhou." Sheng Jiaoyang said and glanced at Zeng Huan.
Zeng Huan understood, and then said: "Jiaojiao, you are so heavy when you are drunk. I can't even drag you. Fortunately, the male god came out and helped you, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
"It seems I need to hire a stronger assistant."
"Instead of hiring a strongman assistant, it's better to drink less." Gu Zhou said.
"It makes me look like an alcoholic." Sheng Jiaoyang glanced at Gu Zhou.
Gu Zhou smiled.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Sheng Jiaoyang left.
Gu Zhou said hello to Qu Wen and went to sit down and memorize his lines.
The assistant standing next to Qu Wen said: "Looking at the degree of familiarity between them, those who don't know would think that they are really having an affair."
A glint flashed in Qu Wen's eyes. She said nothing. She had always been very cautious outside. She did not rely on luck to get to where she is today. Even though she didn't like Xu Jiaojiao, who was in a position of power backstage, she always behaved very close to her on the set just so that no one could find any excuses.
A while ago, due to Sheng Jiaoyang's high efficiency, the filming progress was much faster. Today is her last scene.
She put on a military uniform, her hair was tied high, and her face had a heroic make-up. Her eyebrows were drawn particularly sharply, and her facial features became more three-dimensional. She held a long gun in her hand and wore a big red cloak. The figure is already slender, and the whole person highly restores Wu Qinghe's demeanor on the battlefield.
Everyone who saw her couldn't take their eyes away. Compared with her gorgeous makeup, her heroic appearance was even more eye-catching.
When the director saw it, his eyes lit up, and he quickly called the screenwriter. The two of them muttered for a while, and the screenwriter sharpened his knife and went to revise the script while holding his notebook.
"Jiaojiao, come here and I'll tell you about today's scene again." The director waved to Sheng Jiaoyang with a smile on his face.
Sheng Jiaoyang walked over with an indifferent expression. It would be whatever the director said. After listening to the director's words, she realized that she probably wouldn't be able to kill Qing today. It was obvious that the director had given her an extra role.
As for the director adding a scene, other people had different opinions. Gu Zhou was not affected, and the person who added the scene was someone he admired, so he naturally felt happy, but the other person was not.
What does it mean to have the second female lead in the role
For Qu Wen, who plays the heroine, this is not a good thing. If the second female lead has more roles, her status as the leading female lead will inevitably be threatened.
Just like in a previous martial arts drama, the original heroine in the original work was turned into a supporting role because the original second female lead was too strong in personality and had enough roles, and the audience took it for granted.
Although I don’t know how it will be edited later, Qu Wen now feels that her status is threatened.
In such a situation, she couldn't confront the director directly, so she chose to call her agent and ask her agent to come forward to communicate with the company and put pressure on her through the upper management.
Not only that, she also asked someone to contact the original author secretly and told the original author that the director changed the ending of the second female lead and added scenes.
In fact, when the original author has given up the copyright of the film and television adaptation, the original author has no right to interfere with how the film and television adaptation is adapted. However, the original author can express his dissatisfaction on his official account and mobilize the fans and the masses. emotions, using public saliva to exert pressure.
The screenwriter here revised the script, and the producer came to trouble the director.
Being invited to direct, the director is not an economical person. He dismissed the producer with just a few words. After all, he did not change the second female lead to the first female lead. He just changed the result and added a few more scenes, but the heroine's role was not will be reduced as a result.
Originally, Sheng Jiaoyang's scene today was a scene that belonged to the hero's memories.
This scene is about Wu Qinghe's triumphant return. The male protagonist, who is still a prince, stands behind the late emperor and goes to the city gate to greet the Wu family's army. Then Wu Qinghe, dressed in military uniform and galloping on a horse, suddenly entered the male protagonist's eyes, with his blood-red cloak flying like a beautiful landscape.
And now because the director has added more scenes, Sheng Jiaoyang not only has to play this scene of memories, but also Wu Qinghe's ending.
The original ending was filmed a few days ago, with Wu Qinghe writing a letter in blood asking to see the emperor, then asking the emperor if he had ever liked her, and finally spilling her blood in front of the emperor.
Now the outcome has changed. Wu Qinghe is not dead. She has returned to the battlefield. Although she is no longer the commander, her Wu Jiajun is so famous that the enemy's face changes drastically when they see the Wu Jiajun's flag, and then they send heavy troops. In the end, Wu Qinghe used a trick to trap and kill the enemy's main force, using himself as bait, so that his side won an overwhelming victory.
And Wu Qinghe finally died on the battlefield.
When the emperor held the ceremony to seal the queen, the news of victory came quickly, and at the same time, the news of Wu Qinghe's death came.
Compared with the original Wu Qinghe who died for love, the result of such a heroic death has obviously sublimated this character.
However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this result was only natural. When Wu Qinghe completely died, she was destined to return to the land where her ancestors of the Wu family were buried.
Of course, compared to the latter, Sheng Jiaoyang definitely prefers the latter. She took this role not because the role was enough, but because of the complex qualities of this character, which sometimes resemble her.
Even though Wu Qinghe was blinded by jealousy and did some bad things, she was a very pure person, devoted to her feelings forever, and could risk her life for the one she loved, even though it seemed very innocent. Silly, but such stupidity makes people feel distressed.
Perhaps according to the original author, Wu Qinghe is just a vicious female supporting character, and her status as a former general is just to increase her weight and explain her arrogant character who does not take the heroine and other women seriously, but now, the director obviously wants to give her This character has more color.
After all, for the director, what he wants is not how brilliant the protagonist is, but how the audience can be deeply impressed by the drama he directs. So when the outside world was saying how disrespectful he was from the original work, he withstood the pressure. As for the pressure from the producers, as long as he shows them the edited and produced finished product, he believes no one will complain.
The director, crew officials, and Sheng Jiaoyang's Weibo has now become another battlefield.
When many people heard that Xu Jiaojiao was joining the cast, the first thing they thought of was that her backstage staff had taken action again, and they felt that the director must have taken advantage. Many fans of the original novel said they would boycott Xu Jiaojiao's drama.
As for our classmate Jiaojiao, she was so tired that she fell asleep on the set when a black tide was created. (To be continued)
