Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 84: Tacit Understanding (24)

There was a long table against the wall of the hotel room. Chen Linfeng put his laptop on the table and moved two chairs from the side and placed them side by side in front of the table.

The two of them each had a seat, Chen Linfeng sat on the left and Liu Qianqian sat on his right.

This game was downloaded on his computer. He downloaded it a while ago for nostalgia, but he hardly played it.

Chen Linfeng opened the game, looked at the familiar startup animation, and listened to the music, which really made him think of the days when he played games in his previous life.

He was stunned for a moment, then noticed that he had entered the game and started clicking the mouse.

Chen Linfeng tried his best to take care of Liu Qianqian, slowing down the pace to play the game, and waiting to finish reading the entire plot before clicking the next sentence.

Old players just fast forward.

As expected, Liu Qianqian was itching to do it herself after watching from the side, so she finally let herself do it.

Chen Linfeng turned around and sat next to her, watching her play and giving her some pointers from time to time.

"This maze on Fairy Island is not difficult to navigate. You can do this first... then that..."

The winter afternoon sun shone through the window, just enough to illuminate Chen Linfeng's back.

He felt warm in the sun, changed his posture, lay on the table, tilted his head to look at the computer, and continued to give instructions.

"Next, let's defeat the monsters first and level up. Don't rush into the plot..."

At some point, Chen Linfeng fell asleep on the table.

In the haze, Chen Linfeng felt the warmth behind him disappear.

He opened his eyes and found that Liu Qianqian was also lying on the table with her head tilted towards him and her eyes wide open.

She straightened up quickly and acted as if nothing had happened.

Chen Linfeng also sat up straight, and he was somewhat doubtful whether he had seen it wrong just now.

"Cough," Liu Qianqian put her little fist in front of her mouth to cover up her cough.
"I don't know how to get out of this maze again. Can you help me find the way~"

"The maze of the General's Tomb," Chen Linfeng glanced at the sky outside.

"It will take a while to finish this maze, so let's play with it tomorrow. It's getting late now, let's go get some food first."

Just at this moment, Liu Xiaoli knocked on the door.

Chen Linfeng opened the door.

Liu Xiaoli saw that there were still marks of waking up on Chen Linfeng's face, while her daughter was sitting and playing on the computer.

I couldn't help but wonder, isn't it Xiao Chen who is playing? Xixi is watching, what's going on with these two people.

After having dinner together, Sister Mei came back.

She went to see the producer of "The Lotus Lantern" crew today and got Chen Linfeng's next schedule.

The original schedule has not changed, we will still join the crew on February 2th, and there will be a launch conference at that time.

"The Lotus Lantern", as the lead drama of CCTV, was filmed at the Wuxi Film and Television Base, which is not far from here, so Chen Linfeng is not in a hurry.

"When I came back just now, I ran into Cai Yinong. She said she and Director Li would come to visit me later, and asked me to let you know in advance."

Sure enough, after a while, Tang Ren’s Cai Yinong and Li Guoli came knocking on the door.

They brought up the issue of Lin Yueru and Anu's roles that Chen Linfeng mentioned during the day.

I think it would be better if An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan swapped roles.

Chen Linfeng knew at a glance that these two people must have made up their minds.

He naturally said what they wanted.

Both parties reached an agreement and everyone was happy.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Cai Yinong made another suggestion. She hoped to make some minor changes to the original script.

Are you going to start causing trouble?

Chen Linfeng folded his arms across his chest and said nothing.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Cai Yinong had a headache, so she tried her best to explain the whole thing.

It turns out that Tang Ren originally invited the Taiwanese duo of Liu Pinyan and Zeng Zhiqiao to play Yueru and Anu.

However, whether it was due to greed or coincidence, An Yixuan and Zhang Xinyu joined the team.

Now that the roles of An Yixuan and Liu Pinyan have been confirmed, there is no way to arrange for the two extra girls.

So I wanted to add two characters in the beginning, with not many roles, just slightly changing Li Xiaoyao's early character setting. Li Guoli also agreed.

Honestly speaking, he is very satisfied with the current version of the script, but it is really troublesome to arrange the characters, so he has to find a way to change it.

It turned out that this was the reason why Li Xiaoyao had an extra "servant maid" and a "concubine" in his previous life's Fairy Sword.

Of course Chen Linfeng was unwilling to change it like this. This kind of inexplicable change is of no use to the main storyline and will damage the character of the protagonist. It is simply a random change.

In order to prevent the protagonist's character from becoming a gangster like in his previous life, he even deleted the teasing scene of Li Xiaoyao in the closet.

Having already made so many changes, he certainly doesn't want to change it back, and he doesn't want to lose his reputation because of it.

Sister Mei saw that Chen Linfeng looked unhappy and quickly took over the conversation.

"Boss Cai, we agreed at the beginning that there is no major problem with the script and it cannot be changed."

She said indifferently, "I cannot accept such arbitrary changes to the script."

Then, he started arguing with Li Guoli and Cai Yinong.

Cai Yinong was also in a dilemma. She didn't want to offend the young writer Chen at all. She also thought that since he was young, they could try to communicate.

Unexpectedly, the two of them, one pretending not to hear and not saying anything, and the other refusing with a cold face, cooperated perfectly and there was no way to break the situation.

Especially since Chen Linfeng himself is a rising star in the literary circle with a high status, and his father's company is also thriving in the industry.

It's impossible to suppress it.

Seeing that she really couldn't make it work, she had to give up.

Wait until the two of them walk out of the room.

Chen Linfeng then said to Sister Mei, "Tomorrow morning, I will try to add two unimportant female characters in the later part of the script. You can tell me that I thought about it again and again tonight and made the change reluctantly."

Sister Mei understood, "I know. I will tell Mr. Cai only this once."

This is also a common tactic used by the two.

Chen Linfeng has an immature face, and others always think that he is young and easy to talk to, and doesn't know how to refuse.

Therefore, Sister Mei usually plays the role of the person who refuses in person, and then decides whether it is necessary to make concessions or adjustments based on the specific circumstances of the matter.

This was originally a small matter. Adding two characters with little screen time would not be a big problem. However, Tang Ren wanted to change the character of the protagonist by adding more characters.

This is unacceptable. Otherwise, once it gets out, there will always be people who want to make changes to the scripts he writes in the future.

This is how the status of screenwriters gradually declined.

Tang Ren and the other person returned to the room.

Li Guoli spread his hands and said, "Look, I told you so. He is a famous writer and it is impossible for him to allow others to change his script. If you want to use his name, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

He felt relieved. It would be best if the script was not changed. Being a director requires coordinating with all parties, and having someone with sufficient status and position to do the job would save him a lot of trouble.

Cai Yinong's face looked unhappy. Although he knew that he was a famous writer, he expected that young people would be easier to talk to. However, he didn't expect that his agent was so abominable and didn't give him any face at all.

That night, she lay in bed depressed and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

As soon as Cai Yinong went out early the next morning, he saw the face he had "missed" all night.

Sister Mei took out a notebook and handed it to Cai Yinong.

He explained that Chen Linfeng spent a long time revising the film last night, and added two minor characters in the later stage.

Sister Mei emphasized, "This is because our Xiaofeng is a good person. We are considering your crew. There won't be a next time!"

Cai Yinong flipped through it and saw that, sure enough, there were marks in the script that the Lin and Liu families each had a maid added, as well as some lines.

Overall, it's a pretty small role, but the character is good. He's either cute and well-behaved or loyal to his master. It's not shameful to play this role.

She hesitated to speak. It was added, but it was not added according to her opinion.

But I feel much better now.

Writer Xiao Chen still respects her.

Cai Yinong smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, writer Chen. Thank you also to Miss Sun for your help."

The two seemed to have forgotten their argument last night. They talked and laughed and made an appointment to have breakfast together.

In the following two days, Chen Linfeng directed Liu Qianqian to complete the game in the hotel. Liu Xiaoli and Sister Mei were also in the room.

The two older ones are chatting, and the two younger ones are playing games, without interfering with each other.

On the afternoon of the 7th, Chen Linfeng and Sister Mei left the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew and rushed to Wuxi.
