Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 594 - 578: We’re Not Going
CHAPTER 594: CHAPTER 578: WE’RE NOT GOING
Yan Yueqing knew about Tan Ru’s script modification, but Zhou Jue was unaware.
He was a bit puzzled: It’s normal for good actors to have script modification requests for their roles, but what exactly did Tan Ru change? How could it make the screenwriter so angry?
After Director Tang finished speaking, Zhou Jue gasped, his eyes widened in disbelief, almost ready to slam the table: "I think she might as well play the Emperor directly as a gender swap, why even bother playing a concubine?"
Director Tang forced a smile: "Who wouldn’t say so? The issue is that we can’t publicly release the script for everyone to judge. If President Yue hadn’t publicly supported the crew at that time, I’m afraid our ’Invisible Heart’ would have died before it started."
Before the main film is released, any crew leaking the script is the dumbest decision.
’Invisible Heart’ didn’t want to lose the big picture for small gains and silently bore infamy for a long time. Coupled with the filming location being constantly stuck, all this left Director Qi with no solutions.
After all, other period dramas can just switch locations if they can’t shoot here.
But palace intrigue dramas can’t!
Indoor sets are important indeed, but can you really have an entire film without even one big outdoor scene?
Therefore, once Jun Jiu took on the Mission and confirmed the location, he immediately focused on palace series architecture.
Once these facilities were completed, didn’t it solve the crew’s urgent problem?
Yan Yueqing smiled: "Director Qi can rest assured now, right?"
Director Tang was extremely satisfied: "Of course! If we didn’t have to wait for the ribbon-cutting, he would have wanted to buy a plane ticket to P City today." He said, looking brightly at Yan Yueqing, "President Yue, we’ve set two dates, the 16th or the 28th of this month. They are both auspicious days! When are you available?"
It’s already the 15th today, and ribbon-cutting on the 16th is definitely out of the question. Director Tang knew Director Qi was in a hurry and had to persuade him on the phone last night.
President Yue hasn’t been there yet, we can’t let the crew move in directly, can we?
It’s likely to be the 28th, and we’ll have to wait more than ten days!
However, compared to the endless wait of being constantly stuck before, these ten plus days already offer a glimmer of hope.
Yan Yueqing went over recent events internally and decisively said: "Tomorrow."
"Ah?"
Director Tang didn’t expect President Yue to set the date for tomorrow?
Yan Yueqing glanced at him: "Isn’t the crew in a hurry? Let them come over tomorrow too. As this is the first major project after Zhongxing’s reorganization, I’ll cut the ribbon with them."
"Really?! Director Qi will be so excited when he hears this news, he’ll fly up with joy!"
Zhou Jue was also excited. After Tan Ru was kicked out of the crew, Xingyue quickly signed Xi Hongxia as the new female lead for ’Invisible Heart’ ~
He laughed and continued: "Xi Hongxia has been resting for a long time after being hit. Yesterday she was still asking me, how long before she can officially work? Should I notify her to join the crew tomorrow?"
"Sure."
Xingyue’s Xi Hongxia and Zhongxing’s Meng Chengchu, this first match of handsome men and beautiful women will definitely be interesting!
Having almost finished discussing the projects between the two companies, Yan Yueqing planned to return to the manor: "Director Tang, are you going to see Tang Tang, or?"
"The little girl is at your place, what do I have to worry about? I’ll focus on work first~ Once I’m done, I’ll pick her up."
Emm, honestly, even if he goes to pick her up, Tang Tang might not necessarily follow him home~~
Hahahahaha~
Kids grow up, and they have their own thoughts.
Let her be~ Let her play with President Yue for a while longer, once she starts first grade in two years, she’ll settle down.
"Alright, then I’ll take the kids together tomorrow."
P City isn’t far from here, and from the manor, it’s less than two hours on the highway, perfect for taking the kids on a little trip.
Director Tang nodded in agreement, stood up preparing to get busy with work, suddenly remembered something, and stopped in his tracks.
Zhou Jue noticed he had something to say and politely said: "President Yue, I’ll head back to Xingyue first. See you at the base at 9 a.m. tomorrow with Xi Hongxia!"
Joining the crew is such a small matter; as a senior manager at Xingyue, there’s really no need for him to get involved.
But President Yue’s base ribbon-cutting event~
How could he miss it?
Zhou Jue is eager to go there today to prepare!
Once Zhou Jue went out, Director Tang carefully began: "Uh, President Yue, there’s something about Li Manman..."
"Li Manman?" Yan Yueqing was slightly taken aback.
She hadn’t heard this name in a long time.
Back in the reality show ’National Parent,’ Li Manman, Qin Youran, and herself were grouped together for comparison. Li Manman, from the same company, didn’t care for her, adding to open and hidden exclusion.
Later, when Qin Youran fell from grace, Li Manman’s big support—Director Yang, the senior manager of Zhongxing—was toppled. After reflecting on herself, she chose to stay and continue to fight in Zhongxing.
