Chapter 353


    After taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Shi Jin. It was a little strange. Shi Jin was just a


    guest actor and had not started filming yet. How did she know that the director wanted to change


    the script?


    After Liu Ning called Teacher Luo, Huang Kaiqin also came to his office.


    Liu Ning invited Huang Kaiqin to sit down before saying slowly, "Teacher Huang, I heard from your


    manager that if we don''t change the script, you may quit?"


    "It''s not that serious," Huang Kaiqin said calmly. "Producer Liu, you know that this show is for


    mothers to watch. It''ll be better to make it so that they can rte to the characters. Without this


    depth, they won''t understand it."


    "When the audience sits in front of the screen, it''s like their IQ will magically increase by 20%," Liu


    Ning said.


    Huang Kaiqin nodded. "Producer Liu, look at me. I put in a lot of work to be here. I must have


    wanted this work to be better so that everyone''s path would be easier. If not for this belief, who


    would care about what the content is?"


    This meant that they couldn''t negotiate anymore.


    Liu Ning calmly said, "In that case, I have to respect your opinion as well as Teacher Luo''s."


    "Then I''ll get my manager to talk to you." Huang Kaiqin was under a lot of pressure. The fans''


    opinions came ceaselessly and she did not want to dy any further.


    Her manager arrived before long. Since she had already made her decision, the contract


    termination was resolved very quickly.


    Logically speaking, this matter had all started because of Huang Kaiqin. She had broken the


    contract first and shouldpensate them for a portion of the money. However, Liu Ning did not ask


    them topensate him. Instead, he asked Huang Kaiqin to leave.


    Once Huang Kaiqin left, Liu Ning started to worry. It would not be easy to find another suitable


    female lead.


    The director had quite a strong opinion as well. He had had high hopes for Huang Kaiqin. With this


    change, he would need someone who had acting skills and was suitable for the role. He would also


    need someone with a suitable schedule. That would be extremely difficult.


    "Producer Liu, now that the character is gone, how can I continue filming?" The director shrugged at


    Liu Ning.


    "You can film the supporting roles'' scenes first."


    He walked out with his hands behind his back.


    Shi Jin was talking to Ye Peiwen. Logically speaking, it should have been a tense period for Ye


    Peiwen with her filming the second episode of "Our Life". Shi Jin was also quite surprised to see her


    suddenly appear on set.


    "Teacher Ye, you..."


    Shi Jin saw that she was still carrying her luggage.


    Ye Peiwen smiled and said, "I''ll give you the score first before heading to the hotel."


    "Are we filming at the hotel then?" Shi Jin asked casually.


    "No. My role has been reced. I need to find a ce to stay now. My assistant went to book a


    room for me. She has a lot of things, so I''m carrying my own luggage."


    "Didn''t you sign a contract? How did you change it?" Shi Jin was puzzled.


    "When the original guest came back, I had to give up my spot. But that''s normal. That role was hers


    to begin with. It was expected that I would give it back to her."


    Shi Jin recalled hearing her mention that the guest was Huang Kaiqin.


    She immediately understood that Huang Kaiqin did not want to offend her fans, so she had


    terminated her contract with "Twilight Years" and immediately went back to "Our Life".


    She had requested to change the script previously probably because she had backup ns, so she


    could be fearless. At worst, she would go back to filming a variety show.


    Thinking of this little drama, Shi Jin knew what Huang Kaiqin was ying at.


    Ye Peiwen, who did not know the inside story, was still puzzled. "Say, Teacher Huang really works


    hard. You guys should be quite busy filming here, right? She''s back in the variety show again. She


    has to take care of both things at the same time. She must need a lot of energy to cope."


    "She terminated her contract here," Shi Jin said calmly.


    "The contract has been terminated?" Ye Peiwen was surprised and envious at the same time.


    "Wow. Such a good opportunity, yet she just wasted it."


    Shi Jin did not say anything else. Huang Kaiqin had been willful for a long time. On the one hand,


    she was reckless, but on the other hand, she cared about what others thought of her. She was very


    divided.


    Shi Jin finished reading Ye Peiwen''s entire piece. "Teacher Ye, it''s very good. I think everything is


    fine and there''s nothing to fix."


    Ye Peiwen stood up and said, "I was afraid that I''d be rusty after not writing for so long. Since you''re


    almost done, let''s finish the recording early. I should go back now."


    Shi Jin suddenly asked, "Teacher Ye, are you willing to act?"


    ***


    Ye Peiwen was still in a daze when she got sent to the fitting room.


    Of course, she wasn''t confused. She just hadn''t expected the crew to follow Shi Jin''s instructions.


    Although she had never officially participated in any film or television series, she had filmed many


    MVs and advertisements. She had also taken on quite a number of variety shows in the past six


    months.


    Her expression was quite natural in front of the camera. She did not panic at all.


    A makeup artist quickly helped her put on her makeup and change her clothes. She smiled and


    said, "1 have to say, she really does look like her."


    When the director was called over, he held back his emotions.


    After Huang Kaiqin left, his expression remained the same.


    Although they could shoot the supporting roles'' scenes first, the director was the type who would


    find it difficult to get into thinking about other roles if he could not grasp the image and temperament


    of his main lead.


    Liu Ning called him over to watch the auditions for the new actor, but he was a little emotionless.


    Liu Ning had not expected Shi Jin to make such a bold decision.


    It was true that Ye Leiwen sang well, but her acting skills and image should be quite different from


    Huang Kaiqin''s, right? Especially since Ye Leiwen was older than Huang Kaiqin by a few years, he


    did not know if she could grasp this feeling.


    Huang Kaiqin''s assistant stayed behind as she still had some things to pack.


    When she heard that Ye Leiwen had been summoned for a fitting, she did not leave in a hurry.


    Instead, she stayed behind to take a look.


    She realized that this production team was really indulging in fantasy. It was obvious that they


    needed to improve their acting skills for this show. They were actually choosing a singer to act?


    Liu Ning and the director waited patiently.


    Yao Jiahong asked Shi Jin, "Do you think Teacher Ye can really do it?"


    "She filmed an MV before, and her appearance suits this scene."


    Yao Jiahong believed in Shi Jin''s judgment and was looking forward to seeing Ye Leiwen perform.


    Ye Leiwen was not very confident in herself. Forget acting, she had only picked up singing after


    helping Shi Jin sing, but when she thought of Shi Jin...


    The audition today was all set up for her by Shi Jin. If she could not get it, Shi Jin would be under a


    lot of pressure.


    No matter what, she had to do her best. Even if she couldn''t get this role, she couldn''t let others


    look down on Shi Jin.

    Ye Leiwenposed herself.


    The makeup artist patted her shoulder. "Teacher Ye, you can go."


    Ye Leiwen walked out.


    The director was originally disinterested, but when Ye Leiwen walked out, his eyebrows twitched


    and he was a little moved.


    Liu Ning also realized that Ye Leiwen was younger than he had been expecting. After her makeup


    and hair was done, she fit the female lead''s age very well.


    Perhaps it was because she had been practicing for a long time, but she was not afraid at all in front


    of so many cameras. Her expression was full of confidence.


    The director nodded at his assistant, who handed him a box. "Teacher Ye, you can choose a scene


    to try out. You have ten minutes to prepare."


    Ordinary actors usually took three to five minutes to prepare for their audition.


    Since Ye Peiwen was a singer, the production team gave her extra time.


    Ye Peiwen gasped.


    Her luck was not good and she had drawn the most difficult part that Huang Kaiqin wanted to


    change. It was the part where the character had a lot of lines and a strong emotional outburst.


    The director''s assistant silently mourned for her. This was the most difficult part avable. Even


    Huang Kaiqin''s acting skills hadn''t been enough for it.


    The assistant went back and told the director.


    The director also felt that the woman''s luck was really bad.


    Everyone was discussing things in low voices, thinking that Ye Peiwen was in trouble this time.


    They didn''t know why Liu Ning wanted her to audition.


    Ye Peiwen had only heard about the contents of the script from Shi Jin and did not know the details.


    She didn''t know which parts were difficult, so she didn''t feel put off. She heard that she had ten


    minutes to prepare.


    Looking at the big paragraphs of lines, she used her specialty of remembering lyrics and read the


    words a few times. Then, she started to gather her emotions.


    Ten minutes flew by.


    Ye Leiwen said to the director, "Director, can I start now?"


    "Let''s begin."


    Huang Kaiqin''s assistant stood and watched as Ye Leiwen stood in the middle of the stage.


    The first move she made was very young and inexperienced, with a kind of pretentiousness that


    only a singer could have. It was totally not as natural as a professional actor''s movements.


    Huang Kaiqin''s assistant did not take another look. He got into the car and sent a message to


    Huang Kaiqin. "Liu Ning is really indulging in fantasy. He asked Ye Leiwen to audition over here.


    Hahahaha, her acting skills make meugh."
