Chapter 093 Adding to the show

This set of editing took a lot of effort and was made by the editor staying up late... This short paragraph is only one minute and forty seconds, but it took the editor five hours to get it done.

This is Shi Liang's selfishness.

Shi Liang felt that this form of fighting is likely to cause an innovation, which is more visually impactful than those fighting made with special effects, but the cost is not that high.

Therefore, Shi Liang hopes that Liu Kai will be optimistic and then agree with his suggestions.

Shi Liang wanted to suggest that Liu Kai use Chen Shuting to play this role.

It’s not uncommon for one person to play two roles. Many twins in film and television dramas use the same actor.

Although Xu Tianya and Meng Yi are not twins, they can modify the script and add intricate connections to explain why they look the same.

"Very good!" After Liu Kai finished reading it, his eyes were indeed shining, and he gave Shi Liang a thumbs up, "It's amazing, I didn't expect the shooting to be so effective!"

Then, Liu Kai was a little confused again, "Can you take a photo, what did you do when you complained yesterday?"

"Chen Shuting can take pictures, but Jiang Baifei cannot." Shi Liang pointed out the difficulties.

Liu Kai undoubtedly did not get this difficulty. He asked Shi Liang in confusion: "Can you let Chen Shuting teach Jiang Baifei?"

"Yes, two months!" Shi Liang said, "Start with basic skills, and stance every day, are you willing to do it?"

Liu Kai glanced at Shi Liang: "Why do you speak like this?"

"Aren't Jiang Baifei angry yet?" Shi Liang told the truth, "He won't succeed, he won't succeed. Boss, can you switch him out and use Chen Shuting?"

"Chen Shuting is already the male lead." Liu Kai frowned. In his play, he likes to bloom with flowers, all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women, satisfying the various preferences of fans.

Jiang Baifei is more feminine and beautiful, while Chen Shuting is more resolute and has different types.

Putting aside his acting skills, Chen Shuting cannot replace Jiang Baifei's status in this drama.

Nowadays, young fans, who cares whether your scene is good or not, whether the plot is wonderful or not, and how the fighting special effects are, as long as the actors are pleasing to the eye, especially male actors.

"Then will we still take pictures of the martial arts part?" Shi Liang sighed. He had no say in front of Liu Kai, and had always followed Liu Kai's steps.

"Photo! You must shoot!" Liu Kai said firmly.

Even if it is a TV series that is free of vases, I hope that my stature can be very high and I will be praised by my peers. Moreover, the fighting scene created by Shi Liang completely attracted Liu Kai, making Liu Kai believe in his innovative vision more.

This form of fighting is Liu Kai’s own innovation. How could he give up his creativity?

He has spent all his budget, so he wants to shoot it.

"How to shoot?" Shi Liang asked again.

"You have made up your mind to use Chen Shuting, right?" Liu Kai finally understood Shi Liang's intention.

"Yes, Chen Shuting's play is good!" Shi Liang said, "It's not difficult to film his play. You don't know, I haven't encountered such a good actor in the years!"

This is the truth. They have always been hard to come by when they shoot idol dramas.

"This scene is indeed good." Liu Kai agreed.

After a moment of silence, Liu Kai said: "Let's do this, I'll ask the screenwriters to study it to see if the two characters can be merged."

"Fusion?" Shi Liang was slightly stunned.

"Yes, delete the character Meng Yi and add his role to Xu Tianya." Liu Kai said.

Shi Liang finally understood. Liu Kai didn't want to add more money to Chen Shuting, so he refused to let him film two roles, so he simply added a show to him. Anyway, his pay was packaged. He had to shoot many scenes.

"Okay, fusion." Shi Liang gave Liu Kai a thumbs up. Look, this is the producer, and this stinginess is not something to cover up.

Liu Kai also instructed Shi Liang and the others: "Give Jiang Baifei's agent a clear idea, do some ideological work, and change his small role."

Shi Liang knows it.

***

On Valentine's Day this year, many celebrities have notices and must attend. So, on the 9th, more than half of the crew left, causing director Shi Liang to just take a single shot of Chen Shuting.

"I have a premonition that I will be the first to finish the filming." Chen Shuting joked with the staff.

"It must be that you are the best in the whole set, and you hardly go out to run for notice." The photographer got along with Chen Shuting and answered his words with a smile.

"Yes, I can call myself a workaholic." Chen Shuting said.

The photographer and director called him thick-skinned.

They were chatting and laughing, and the screenwriter came. This time the screenwriter Gao Linwei came.

Teacher Gao Linwei is in his fifties and looks energetic and smiles without any airs. Sometimes Chen Shuting discusses scripts with him on Weixin, and he will reply seriously no matter how late he is.

"This is a new script for Xu Tianya's later drama." Gao Linwei handed the script to Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting was stunned: "Has the script changed later?"

"Well, I've changed a lot." Teacher Gao Linwei said, "Didn't you listen to the producer?"

Chen Shuting shook his head.

He looked back at director Shi Liang.

Shi Liang seemed to feel guilty and coughed gently, not looking at Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting was puzzled and looked through the script and found that the newly added scenes were almost all Meng Yi.

"This is Meng Yi's play, how did it be added to Xu Tianya?" Chen Shuting asked.

He had to play Meng Yi before, so he had studied Meng Yi's play for a long time and was very familiar with it. Even if there was a change in many places, he could still tell it at a glance.

"The role of Meng Yi is too difficult to shoot, and other actors are not competent. The crew discussed with Jiang Baifei, and he also felt it was too difficult, so he gave up and chose a small role.

However, you can't play two roles alone, so you replaced Meng Yi's role with Xu Tianya. This is not contradictory. Meng Yi and Xu Tianya have similar personalities and both maintain justice." Gao Linwei told Chen Shuting, and then when Chen Shuting looked confused, Teacher Gao was puzzled, "The producer didn't tell you?"

Chen Shuting's face was slightly calmer.

He couldn't shy his face at Teacher Gao, so he had to smile and said, "I guess I haven't had time to mention it yet, so I know."

Gao Linwei was slightly surprised.

"That" Teacher Gao was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I've accepted the script. Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Gao." Chen Shuting smiled.

Gao Linwei felt that this young man was quite well-educated and knew how to respect the seniors. In the crew of idol dramas, he was used to meeting impolite artists, and Gao Linwei immediately felt that Chen Shuting was promising.

"Then if you have any questions, I'll send me a letter of protection." Gao Linwei said to Chen Shuting.

After Teacher Gao left, Chen Shuting asked Xia Shiliang.

Shi Liang said he didn't know very well, and he had only heard a little bit of wind before.

Chen Shuting called Liu Kai.

Liu Kai was in a meeting and was answered by his assistant.

"This was decided by the company's meeting." Liu Kai's assistant politely explained to Chen Shuting, and then joked with Chen Shuting. "It's a good thing to add a show to the starring actor, why are you not happy?"

"I'm going to do two people's work alone, and I won't pay extra money. Such a big thing, I can't bear it." Chen Shuting said.

The assistant said that this was decided by the company. It was not Liu Kai himself.

"When Mr. Liu finishes the meeting, I will ask him to call you again." The assistant said.

Chen Shuting had to hang up the phone.

Since Liu Kai couldn't get through here, Chen Shuting had to call Lao Xie first and briefly talked to Lao Xie.

"Call, Liu Kai is too good at it. It's not normal to add money to the show? He actually saved this money, so I'll tell him." Lao Xie was unhappy when he heard this.

Chen Shuting said: "The key is that Meng Yi's play is so difficult. Most of it is fighting scenes. This is to exhaust me! I heard that some celebrities have to pay for adding a kiss scene. He can't add such a heavy fight scene and don't give me money."

Lao Xie agrees with Chen Shuting's words.

Chen Shuting asked Lao Xie again: "In other people's novels, although Meng Yi is not the protagonist group, she is also a very likable character and has a strong role. If they force it to the male protagonist's play, will I take the blame and be scolded at that time?"

"It's okay, that novel is a niche article. If Liu Kai hadn't adapted it, who would have known it? It has no loyal fans of the novel.

Besides, since it is to be adapted, there is naturally a word "change". Fans will not detain this black account on you." Lao Xie said.

Chen Shuting nodded.

Every actor hopes that his role is heavy. Chen Shuting also hopes.

However, the role is the role and the wages are the salary. He can't work in vain without paying money.

Moreover, according to Liu Kai's request, he insisted on adding martial arts scenes to Meng Yi. No one else except Chen Shuting could come to this character.

It was Liu Kai who asked Chen Shuting, so there was no need for Chen Shuting to sacrifice too much.

Lao Xie quickly called Liu Kai's private phone number.

On the phone, Liu Kai and Lao Xie played Tai Chi, but they didn't agree to add more money to Chen Shuting.

Liu Kai only has one central meaning: "Chen Shuting has no fame. He is the male lead. If this drama is sold, it will be risky. It must rely on my reputation and influence, as well as my relationship with the TV station, rather than Chen Shuting.

What price do you give me for my appeal? If Chen Shuting succeeds, he will be the candidate for the hero in the future and will recognize him in the TV series circle.

What's the use of him playing Meng Yi? No matter how good he is, can he be the only one? Does a crew dare to invite him to play the leading role? Are you not grateful, and you still come to ask for money?"
