BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160: Change the play, Director
Chapter 160
The original intention behind these words was to evoke sympathy, revealing that in the entertainment industry, despite the multitude of people, they could only resort to having a virtual character play this role, which is truly lamentable.
However, they didn\'t expect that Ji Ruochu, who was initially uninterested, suddenly became enthusiastic upon hearing the term "virtual character."
"A virtual character? If I go, can we observe closely?" she asked.
Shang Chuan, on the other end of the phone: ???
What does she mean? As a talented director, he doesn\'t have a single attractive virtual character?
In the next second—
"Of course!" Shang Chuan replied.
If there\'s no appeal, then there\'s no appeal. The most important thing is to get her to visit the set.
Since the young girl is interested in cutting-edge technology, he will bring out all the amazing things in the production team!
He\'s certain that Ji Ruochu and her entire family will be amazed. Finding the female lead is trivial as long as they can do that.
Naive Old Shang thinks that when Ji Ruochu said "us," she meant their family of three, but in reality...
The next day, Ji Ruochu appeared at the entrance of the set for the drama "Surprise! The Trash Girl Turns Out to Be a Big Shot" with her nine buddies.
At that moment, everyone witnessed Old Shang, leaning on a cane, smiling kindly as he personally came out to greet them. Their expressions changed from (*^▽^*) to (⊙o⊙), and finally settled into polite smiles.
"Grandpa Shang, these are all my good friends. Can they observe the virtual character and her team up close with me later?" Ji Ruochu, who knew better than to bite the hand that feeds her, wore an obedient expression.
"Of course," Old Shang waved his hand with great magnanimity. "Once you\'re here, you don\'t need to hold back. Feel free to watch, feel free to play!"
Sigh, what bad intentions could this little girl have? She just wants to share something new with her friends—
Half an hour later.
"Thank you, Grandpa Shang. We won\'t disturb the filming anymore. Goodbye, Grandpa Shang!"
Old Shang, who didn\'t even have a chance to say anything to the chosen female lead: ???
The screenwriter and others who accompanied them throughout the visit: ...
Wow, it seems these kids really came to broaden their horizons for free?
"...Goodbye," Shang Chuan, who has seen all kinds of storms, could only bid farewell to this clever little girl with a sense of loss.
Oh... it seems they really have to use the virtual character...
It\'s okay. It\'s also one of the highlights of this drama, and the virtual character\'s every aspect has been programmed according to the original work, so no one can find fault with it.
Just a pity for the talent he spotted...
Sigh!!
With these thoughts, the old man sighed once again, wearing a disappointed expression as he walked away.
"Um... Grandpa Shang."
Suddenly, a melodious voice rang out, causing Shang Chuan and his group to instantly turn their heads.
"I wanted to ask if you have any intentions of changing the storyline."
Shang Chuan: ???
What does she mean...
In the surprised expression of the other party, Ji Ruochu smiled faintly, "My friends and I have discussed it, and perhaps this drama could be improved with some adjustments in certain details."
"Of course!"
The director and producer exclaimed in unison.
Ten minutes later.
"In this scene where the female lead communicates with foreign exchange students, the words she says seem very intimidating, but the actual meaning is quite weak when translated. Let\'s change this term to..."
"Even if you\'re a math genius, you can\'t solve the world\'s unsolved mysteries at a glance. Even if Bernard Riemann from Germany comes, he can\'t instantly provide the answer. It\'s too far-fetched..."
"Although Ji Ruochu\'s combat strength can easily deal with the antagonists here, it\'s unrealistic for her to kick the five men in black away like skewered candied haws..."
"This physics experiment was the conclusion reached by a top domestic team after ten years of effort. It\'s unbelievable that it\'s being used to embarrass everyone at the international physics competition..."
"This chemical apparatus is incorrect. There\'s no such experiment. Let me tell you, it should be done like this, then like this, and then..."
"Also, I don\'t quite understand why it\'s written here that the genius bullies the underachiever, and then the female lead promotes justice, saying things like being great just because you\'re good at studying..."
A certain young man named Qi Yibin, who had been beaten up by his buddies since childhood, expressed his dissatisfaction, "We geniuses are very busy, we really don\'t have time to do such things..."
You see, even someone as unruly as Qi Yibin only looked down on everyone equally during his childhood because his grandparents spoiled him too much. Later on, he was buried in studying every day, so how could he have time to bully others?
At first, there was only one screenwriter frantically typing on the keyboard, but later found that they couldn\'t keep up with the pace, so they called a few of their students and team members.
For a while, the whole room was filled with the complaints of the young boys and girls, with at least two editors madly typing next to each student.
This record needed to be revised, that part needed to accurately record the correct operation steps.
As for Ji Ruochu...
"Grandpa Shang, I really didn\'t plan to act in this drama."
Ji Ruochu sat face to face with Shang Chuan, and there was a paper figure beside them. In front of each of the three people was a cup of hot tea still emitting steam.
"Girl, are you dissatisfied with any part of the plot?" Old Shang asked.
"Yes, if there are any issues, you can bring them up. We can negotiate with the editors."
After all, the author of this book was no longer writing, and the previous fans had already settled down in their careers. It\'s likely that they couldn\'t even remember the plot of this book anymore.
As long as the production team adhered to the original agreement and found a suitable female lead, Ji Ruochu was undoubtedly the best choice.
"It\'s not about that." Ji Ruochu shook her head and quietly looked at the elderly man in front of her. "The main reason is that I don\'t know... what exactly is the purpose of the female lead in this drama?"
The producer was startled, then chuckled and said,
"A paper figure, what purpose can it have?"
"No, that\'s not it," Ji Ruochu countered, "Just like Qian Siqi in Director Qiu\'s drama. Her childhood aspiration was to become the strongest among her peers and then rectify the injustices in the world.
Even when she turned dark later on, it was only because her beliefs were shattered. She returned to her sect and exposed its shameful secrets, all in order to reclaim her original intentions.
But this drama... I must admit, the first time I watched it, my emotions surged. However, what is its purpose? Are the protagonist\'s accomplishments merely meant to dazzle others? Are they meant to make men take notice of her? Are they meant to repeatedly humiliate others?
Although this is just a drama, I truly don\'t know what values and perspectives it aims to convey."
