Adapting the Script
On the set, Lu Zhen was discussing the script with the director.
Sun Xiao waved at Lu Zhen when she looked up.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Zhen walked to Xiaoxiao’s side and asked.
“Sister Zhenzhen, Sister Li called me and said that Wu Yu and Lu Rou went to the hotel to apologize to you. Sister Zhenzhen, you’re too smart. You asked the driver to turn around halfway and come to the set. Otherwise, there would have been trouble today.”
Because Lu Zhen had fallen into the water and fainted this time, Sister Li also came to Hengshui Town. Apart from taking care of Lu Zhen, she also had to see the other actors from the company filming in Hengshui Town.
Today, Lu Zhen had specifically greeted Sister Li, hoping that she could help her pay attention to Wu Yu’s movements in the hotel.
Lu Zhen chuckled. She could guess what Wu Yu and her daughter wanted to do.
“What did Sister Li say?”
“Sister Li wants you to film in peace. She will deal with Wu Yu.”
“Yes, Xiaoxiao, help me keep an eye on the development on the Internet. I feel uneasy.”
“Okay, Sister Zhenzhen.”
After explaining the matter, Lu Zhen returned to the director’s side.
“I’ve thought about the changes you just mentioned. According to what you mentioned, the first part of the plot also needs to be changed.”
“Brother Li, I’m just making a suggestion. If you feel that it’s not suitable, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Lu Zhen smiled at the director. The two of them had a good relationship. She had acted in two television dramas with Director Li before and they had a good working relationship.
“Alright, I’ll discuss it with the screenwriter before telling you.”
“Okay.”
Actually, the suggestion she gave Director Li was something she had seen in the comments after the television drama aired in her previous life. Due to the character setting, it was understandable for the fans to complain. Although the female lead wasn’t good at scheming, she was still a female general who had led troops to war. In the early stages, the male lead had always saved the female lead, so the audience felt bored and it affected the viewership ratings.
Moreover, Lu Zhen had another special reason for mentioning this scene, which Lu Rou had appeared in.
‘Lu Zhen’s historical drama mainly revolved around imperial court schemes and political struggles. The first time the male and female leads met was the emperor’s birthday banquet, right after the female lead returned to the capital.
Five years ago, the female protagonist’s father died on the battlefield as a general guarding the border. At that time, because the emperor valued literature over martial arts, he had no generals to use. The female protagonist had no choice but to lead the troops to resist the enemy in the nick of time.
This battle was extremely dangerous. Under the circumstances that they were outnumbered and had insufficient food supplies, the female protagonist chose the beheading tactic and led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the enemy camp at night.
Not only did that battle extinguish the enemy’s arrogance, but it also forced the Huns back to the grassland and established a few years of stable life at the border of the Yong Dynasty.
The female lead became a famous war god. Her deeds also spread throughout the country.
Apart from congratulating the birthday banquet, the female protagonist also wanted to investigate the true cause of her father’s death. However, she didn’t expect that this trip to the capital would involve her in the power struggle.
Lu Rou played the female lead’s cousin. In the middle of the plot, she appeared alone after her family died.
The moment she saw the male lead, the girl fell in love with him. However, she knew that the male lead liked her cousin, so she buried her feelings in her heart and only left dejectedly when the male and female leads rushed to the battlefield together.
Overall, the female lead’s cousin was a good character, especially in the plot where the male lead was injured while the female lead left because of something and asked her cousin to take care of the male lead.
Not only did this cousin not cause a misunderstanding between the male and female leads, but she also explained to the male lead the reason for the female lead’s departure. Her unconventional setting and method of silently protecting the female lead won Lu Rou a lot of brownie points.
Therefore, in this life, she wouldn’t give Lu Rou a chance to gain the audience’s favor.
“Sister Zhenzhen, Lu Rou posted on Weibo.” Xiaoxiao jogged to Lu Zhen’s side and said excitedly.
Lu Zhen looked up, closed the script on her lap, and took the phone from Xiaoxiao.
Lu Rou’s essay on Weibo gave Lu a headache. There were three points.
First, she had not done those things. Lu Zhen had misunderstood her. But even if it was a misunderstanding, she had to apologize to Lu Zhen.
Secondly, she felt that Lu Zhen was her idol and role model. There was no jealousy.
Thirdly, she had always been on good terms with Lu Zhen. She hoped that rumors wouldn’t spread online and that people wouldn’t sow discord between her and Lu Zhen.
In the end, there was even a photo of the two of them.
In the photo, the two girls were smiling brightly. They looked gorgeous under the sun, but in Lu Zhen’s eyes, this was pure dark history. Moreover, Lu Rou had specifically photoshopped this photo. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Seeing Lu Zhen’s screen, Xiaoxiao approached Lu Zhen like a little lackey.
“Sister Zhenzhen, what are you going to do? You don’t have to do it. I’ll do it for you.”
Lu Zhen looked at her in amusement. Did she think she was going to beat Lu Rou up?
“What do you think I want to do?”
