She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1102 - 906: Super Star 80 (4000)_3
Now with additional scenes in the palace, it completely sets her against the female lead, because the Emperor has no sons, and Heir Jing, his nephew, is the future successor, the next Emperor.
In the end, she is naturally the loser, the female lead is the winner, and because she calculated everything to the extreme, she ends up with her bones crushed and ashes scattered. She not only has to fight with the women in the palace but also with the female lead, because she hates her. It’s because of the male and female lead that she ended up in the palace, she hates them and can only rely on competing for favor to earn affection, then targeting them everywhere.
If it were someone else, having the chance to add scenes, especially with such a love-hate-pity character, even more noticeable than the female lead, they would be thrilled. However, by contrast, although the female lead’s scenes were not reduced, they clearly do not have as strong a contrast as this antagonist role.
Because the two of them are on completely different paths, the female lead follows a path of righteousness and saving the country and people like a Holy Mother, while she plays a revenge role under extreme conflict, one noble and kind, the other sinister and cruel. Evil cannot triumph over good, so the second female lead ends tragically.
Looking at the scenes, it could not be completed during the entire winter break, and even finishing by summer break was unlikely.
Moreover, the female lead was obviously dissatisfied with this change and was negotiating to terminate her contract with the crew. Hua Yan felt this was a trap no matter how you looked at it.
Without thinking, she refused: "Sorry, Director, I don’t have the time. The role I originally agreed to only had a few scenes and could be completed in ten days. Now, not only has the schedule been extended, but you didn’t discuss this with me in advance. I was unaware of this from start to finish. If adding scenes causes dissatisfaction among the seniors, it wouldn’t be good for me. In that case, this role may not suit me, so it’s best to terminate the contract."
Realizing something was wrong, Hua Yan activated the recording function on her phone.
"Xiao Yan, we all know you’re a student, but you should also know that finding a good script and production team is not easy, especially since you’re not professionally trained. The writer, producer, and I all agreed to raise your rank. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. Why not only are you ungrateful but want to terminate the contract?"
How difficult is it to become famous now? He thought they were doing a good deed (actually, the producer had taken a liking to Hua Yan), but didn’t expect the person involved to refuse and ask to terminate the contract. In their industry, hardly anyone is so ungrateful.
"I don’t deny our production team is strong, but I currently can’t spare enough time for filming. I initially chose the fourth female lead because it had fewer scenes and a short cycle, not affecting my studies, so I agreed to join the crew. But now it’s completely different from the script I signed with."
"Your pay was raised to one hundred thousand per episode, and we have a total of fifty-eight episodes. You can calculate how much your reward will be."
Trying to persuade her with money? Does Hua Yan lack money?
The more she listened, the more she felt something was off. Hua Yan insisted on her opinion and requested to terminate the contract. The director had no choice but to stand up with his phone and make a call, and as he dialed, he walked out. Hua Yan cautiously watched the quiet office, suddenly having a bad premonition.
Sure enough, not long after, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man in a finely tailored suit walked in, looking somewhat greasy. Seeing his leering eyes, she immediately said to the space’s Liang Tian: "Record this."
She hurriedly stood up, "Who are you looking for? Director Zhao went out to make a call, he’ll be back shortly. I’ll go check outside for you first."
Just as Hua Yan was about to leave, the man suddenly reached out, scaring her into stepping back: "What are you doing?"
"No need to be afraid, little girl, let me introduce myself, I’m He Shujie, one of the investors in this drama. I’m here to ask if you think there are too many scenes or if the pay is not high enough, what will it take for you to perform? If you’re dissatisfied with your pay, you can tell me, or if you want the female lead role, we can discuss it. I can accompany you here anytime, come, sit here and let’s talk this over with your uncle."
He triggered some mechanism, and the blinds in the office automatically closed, and even the door locked itself. If Hua Yan still couldn’t see the scheme, she’d be an idiot. She immediately jumped up: "Why are you closing the doors and windows? I don’t think there’s anything to discuss with you on this matter, I have other things to do, I’ll be going first!"
