Wan Xiban knew that he had offended Kang Mucheng and Jian Jing, so he simply stopped trying to focus on them and went back to make a dinner appointment with Feiniao's top executives the next day.
However, Zhang Hongchun did not follow him and stayed to continue to improve his favorability.
Early in the morning, Jian Jing received the porridge snacks she made herself, lava pig buns, potato cakes and freshly ground soy milk.
Very... virtuous.
Zhang Hongchun also said that she had no other intention in doing so. It was just that Wan Xiban regretted it very much yesterday, but was too busy with work to apologize in person, so he asked her to apologize on his behalf.
"You can't ask someone to apologize sincerely." Jian Jing didn't say anything absolute, but her attitude was firm. "This has nothing to do with you. Don't do this again."
Zhang Hongchun had no choice but to take the breakfast back.
Jian Jing and Kang Mucheng had breakfast together. The hostess made a traditional Japanese breakfast, which tasted good.
"I'll be back soon, do you want to stay?" Kang Mucheng asked her.
She thought about it and felt reluctant to leave the hot spring, so she said, "I'll stay for two more days. It's still early for school to start."
"Okay, it'll take a few days to prepare the contract anyway." Kang Mucheng was in a hurry to leave, mainly to finalize the contract with Feiniao as soon as possible. It would take a lot of time for both parties to go through the legal review, so the sooner the better.
He was a workaholic, and after breakfast he packed up and left in a hurry. Producer Sun did the same, taking the contract back to the company to see the boss.
Jian Jingze, together with Director Huang and Screenwriter Xu, slowly sorted out the content of the second part.
Of course, let’s discuss the roles.
Screenwriter Xu said: "You have set your sights on our heroine. What do you think is the best way to plan the heroine's scenes?"
Jian Jing: "Can the heroine and hero not have love scenes?"
Screenwriter Xu said sympathetically, "No."
she:"… "
Director Huang said: "We have to consider the investors' ideas, but I don't think we should have a clear feeling about the play."
"Yes, ambiguity is enough." Screenwriter Xu agreed, "The devil is charming because he is inhuman. Once he falls in love, it will become cliché and the audience will not like it. Let's just play it by the rules."
After a heated debate, everyone finally decided on the general setting for the female lead.
The difficult one is the second male lead, the hunter.
"Just follow Jingjing's main plot, it won't be a big problem." Screenwriter Xu began to worry, "Alas, Xiao Xue's appearance is actually quite good, a bit like a melancholy young man, and Xiao Bai looks a bit too sunny."
Jian Jing was speechless: "The darkness of a hunter lies in his heart, not in his face."
Screenwriter Xu suddenly became interested: "So you like Xiaobai?"
"This is not a question of like or dislike." Jian Jing pulled up the document on WeChat. "On New Year's Day, he sent me his review of the book."
Screenwriter Xu leaned over to take a look. The more than 2,000 words of reflections were all character analysis of The Devil and the Hunter.
"Tsk, Xiaobai's attitude is amazing, he's very dedicated." He praised and said after thinking, "I think we should write a scene where the hunter appears first, so that it will be convenient for auditions later."
Director Huang has no objection.
"By the way, where is Shao Meng? Let's listen to his ideas as well." Screenwriter Xu remembered something important and asked hurriedly, "Huang, how did he sign his contract? Is there any problem?"
"We signed the entire series." Director Huang was very foresighted and firmly grasped the leading actor when signing the contract. "Many people asked me to do something this time, but Shao Meng acted well. There is no problem with him, so we will not change it."
Shao Meng came quickly and said on the spot that there was no problem.
He cooperated and said that everything would be done according to the contract. He also said to Jian Jing: "I have also read the book of Devil 2 and have some insights and experiences."
Unlike Jiang Baiyan who sent text messages, he wrote it in a small notebook and handed it to her.
Jian Jing politely took it and read it through: With the first season as a foundation, Shao Meng's understanding of the devil is impeccable, it is nothing more than eight words "unable to understand good and evil, pretending to be human", and the details hide the reversal.
He also has his own ideas about hunters.
"The devil plays with the hunter. His life is too boring and he needs something different to stimulate him," Shao Meng said. "The hunter is not an ordinary person. He is special to the devil."
Screenwriter Xu said: "Yes, their relationship is actually quite subtle, involving cause and effect, and past life hatred. Although the two are hostile, they may also cooperate, just like a thief and a detective."
Jian Jing suddenly had an idea and said, "The devil doesn't care about the life or death of people, but he cares about babies. In his eyes, babies are the closest existence to himself, equally chaotic, both good and evil."
"That's a good idea." Screenwriter Xu smiled and wrote it down.
Director Huang said: "Now I don't want to choose a male second who is too good-looking."
Screenwriter Xu laughed out loud, completely understanding his friend's concerns.
Jian Jing protested: "No."
Shao Meng also laughed, but he didn't laugh enough. Suddenly, he frowned and covered his stomach with his hands. The veins on his temples were exposed, as if he was in great pain.
Director Huang asked: "Xiao Shao, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
"Nothing, I drank some wine yesterday and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable." Shao Meng said reluctantly, "I'm sick."
"Then you should go back and have a rest first. It's still early before work starts, so relax for two days." When Director Huang is not filming, he still cares about the actors.
Shao Meng did not try to be stubborn. He just apologized and went back to his room to rest.
The remaining three continued the discussion.
Screenwriter Xu began to make an outline and taught Jian Jing how to write the script while chatting: "Who knows, someone else might come today. There are many people eyeing the second male lead. By the way, Huang, did you know that Xie Wei is also here?"
Director Huang was stunned.
"He's been here for a few days, saying he's recuperating." Screenwriter Xu sighed, "He's such a poor guy."
Jian Jing asked: "Who is Xie Wei?"
Screenwriter Xu laughed: "Jingjing, haven't you watched "Mysterious Cases in the Song Dynasty"? "
Jian Jing: “Uh…” In fact, she has not watched most of the TV dramas in this world.
"This was a hit drama ten years ago. It's no exaggeration to say that all the minor supporting roles have names today, and Xie Wei is the male lead." After revealing the secret, screenwriter Xu added, "But it's strange to say that the male No. 2 played by Shao Meng is more popular than him."
Director Huang sighed, "In our industry, hard work doesn't always pay off. Whether you become famous or not is all up to fate. Xiao Xie just can't think straight and always holds his breath."
"It's no wonder that he always lacks the ability to succeed." Screenwriter Xu said, "He has not shown up, so there should be no other reason. Besides, he must feel bad about playing a supporting role to Shao."
Director Huang said, "Let's just pretend we don't know, to avoid embarrassment."
Shao Meng thought he might have a fever, so he went back to his room and said to his assistant, "I feel a little uncomfortable. Go get me some stomach medicine."
The assistant was startled: "Brother Shao, what's wrong with you?"
"I drank some wine yesterday and my stomach feels uncomfortable." Shao Meng rushed into the toilet and tried to vomit while holding onto the sink, but he could only vomit out sour water and nothing else. It was as if he was blown by the wind and his head was aching.
He covered his forehead and said, "I'll take a nap."
The assistant said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go buy some medicine now, Brother Shao, you should have a good rest."
Shao Meng drank a cup of hot water and fell asleep.
In a daze, he felt someone standing at the head of the bed, looking down at him. The gaze was so hateful and cold, like a poisoned steel knife, cutting off his flesh piece by piece.
He was awakened and opened his eyes hastily.
There was no one there, only a strange smoke lingering in the room.
The mist was gray-black, like a ribbon blown by the wind, swirling and dancing in the room, sometimes turning into a pair of eyes, sometimes into a human face.
Shao Meng was shocked and frightened, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
What is this
Is this place haunted
He jumped out of bed in panic and tried to escape, but the smoke turned into a blurry figure, which rushed up and hugged his body.
Boom! His heart suddenly beat, waking him up from his dream.
Shao Meng stared at the ceiling for a long time before he realized that he was dreaming.
A dream within a dream.
He breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his phone, and sent a text message to his assistant: [Change my room, the place I'm staying in now is not clean]
The assistant did not reply.
He closed his eyes and fell into deep sleep again.

Actress Tao was lying on the sofa, browsing Weibo. When searching for the keyword "Tao Tao", all that popped up were irrelevant contents.
Half a year has passed, and I finally can’t see those photos that were everywhere back then.
But she knew in her heart that although she had spent a lot of money to smooth over the scandal and asked major websites not to spread the photos, she didn't know how many people had those embarrassing photos of her privately.
Whenever she thought of the dirty words they said behind her back, her head felt swollen and her stomach felt sour.
However, what did she do wrong
What's wrong with taking some private photos with your boyfriend? The person who leaked them is the one who committed the crime, right? But people don't blame the person who really did something wrong, but instead point fingers at her privacy.
They judged her recklessly and ruined her career.
Didn't the directors and producers who rejected her have ever seen her body? Now they act like gentlemen and say she is a bad "influence".
Bah, never mind what she’s like in private, aren’t there enough actresses who have taken off their clothes on screen
However, no matter how unfair or angry she was, she could not change the reality - her career was ruined and she had to find a way to save it.
What should we do
I have finally made it to this day, how can I get through this disaster
Or is it that she is destined to never be able to turn things around
Ms. Tao bit her nails anxiously, feeling upset.

There was a glass house in the hotel with some koi fish kept inside. The hostess's short-haired cat was standing by the pond, stretching out its pink paws to catch the fish.
Xue Xiaosheng took a can of cat food and lured the cat over: "Mimi, come here."
The short-haired cat was not a good person and sold itself for canned food.
Xue Xiaosheng took the opportunity to grab the cat's front legs and picked it up.
"You can't hold a cat with its belly facing up, it will be scared." Someone came over from behind and changed the cat's position, making it squat in Xue Xiaosheng's arms.
Xue Xiaosheng turned his head and looked at Jiang Baiyan.
When he was having dinner last night, he could tell that Jiang Baiyan had just finished recording the show and had come here without a good night's sleep, so his reaction was slow. But now he had made up for his sleep, his eyes were bright and his energy was full, and he was much more energetic than yesterday.
"Why help me?" Xue Xiaosheng asked.
Jiang Baiyan raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't be willing to lose."
Xue Xiaosheng glanced at him sharply: "You're quick enough."
"I bought Demon 1 on the first day it was released, and I also bought Demon 2 on the first day it was released." Jiang Baiyan did not refute anything, but just said, "I have read these two books no less than three times, and I know all the plots by heart. Can you do it?"
Taking off clothes does save a lot of trouble, but if you can do it without taking them off, why take them off
It's easy to take off clothes, but hard to put them back on.
Xue Xiaosheng stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Do you think you have a sure win?" A strange light shone in his eyes, and he said slowly, "Do you know? Besides us, there is another person here."
