Chapter 356 - Changing the Lines
Chapter 356: Changing the Lines
Li Min was reading for a crying scene in episode fourteen. To save the world’s citizens, Fu Jinying had to murder her good friend, who had been killing and storing the blood of living humans. Fu Jinying had no idea her friend was doing that to heal Fu Jinying’s damaged inner core.
“Hello, I’m the screenwriter, Xiao Ou. Since there are no other actors around, I’ll be your scene partner. Director, I’m ready.”
“Haha, Xiao Ou! Would you like to make a cameo in the movie? You play a very good dead person. Miss Li, be ready. We’re going to start soon.”
Li Min knelt beside Xiao Ou. A crying scene was straightforward. Li Min only needed to tap into her sad feelings. However, she needed to do more, or else how was she going to leave an impression in people’s minds? After all, she was the main lead! Whether in the movie or life!
So the thing that she needed to do was to impress everyone and snatched the role of the female lead.
“Brother Fu Wei? Why aren’t you opening your eyes? Look at what I’ve brought for you. It’s an epiphyllum. Didn’t you say you want to see one in person?” Li Min touched the female writer’s face. “I won’t call you smelly bat anymore so can you please wake up? If you don’t, I’ll get mad at you~”
Clearly, I’ve done better than Qi Yan.
In the script, Fu Jinying had just murdered her brother disciple and she should be wracked with guilt but somehow Li Min had made it sound so frivolous.
“I’m really getting mad now! If you don’t answer me, I’ll never speak to you again!”
And now, the turn in emotions.
“Big brother… Please open your eyes to look at me… I beg you, Brother Fu Wei…”
This is the way to do it! It’ll make the scene more dramatic!
“Cut!” Before the director said anything, Jin Chuan already called for a cut. However, Han Shang behind Jin Chuan immediately clapped. “See, I told you Min Min is perfect! If you still refuse to use her, then I’ll have to make an official complaint.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Brother Chuan, Mr. Director, I’ll be in your hands. I hope to learn from you. Brother Chuan, I’ve seen all of your runways, you are my idol.”
“Good acting.” Jin Chuan gave a mild compliment but internally he was cursing. Why has she strayed so much from the script?! Does she not know how to read?
However, even Jin Chuan had to bow to Han Shang’s demands so Li Min stayed.
…
On the other hand, when Xiao Rui saw Qi Yan, he was sure that this had to do with Flower Appraisal. It was another one of those strange religious-heavy deaths.
Just as they were discussing how to enter the crew to conduct an investigation, Mo Li’s phone rang. When they were shooting Adventures on the Sea, Jin Chuan had exchanged numbers with Mo Li but this was the first time Jin Chuan had messaged her.
“Good evening, Miss Mo Li, I’ve just invested in a movie but I’ve run into some problems. I wonder if you would be kind enough to make a cameo in the movie? It’ll help raise the popularity of the movie.”
Mo Li took a deep breath. When they were on the island, she was busy working the case with Xiao Rui so the other celebrities didn’t see her that much… other than those directly related to the case that is. So the other celebrities assumed the Mo Family had fetched her home. They had no idea Mo Li was working with the police.
Kang Zhi sat beside Mo Li. When he saw the message on Mo Li’s phone, his eyes shone. Looks like Miss Mo Li is not only connected to the medical world but also the entertainment world as well!
“Miss Mo Li, if you are going… then bring me with you!” Kang Zhi had always been interested in a movie shoot. This was a perfect chance so he jumped on it.
Xiao Rui and Mo Li shared a look. Xiao Rui announced, “Mo Li will enter the crew and Kang Zhi will act as her manager. I’ll send over an extra bodyguard to protect you.”
Mo Li shook her head. She already had a bodyguard, Ah Ao. This case might not be related to Flower Appraisal but the victim deserves justice.
…
Early the next morning, Mo Li arrived at the set with Kang Zhi and Ah Ao. The first scene of the day was between Jin Chuan and Li Min.
In a pavilion filled with cherry trees, Jin Chuan in an ancient Chinese costume looked at Li Min and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m here waiting for His Highness…”
“Cut! Cut! Cut!” The director shouted with dissatisfaction. “Li Min, we’ll just focus on Jin Chuan’s scenes first. You can go and rest for now.”
“But Director… I feel like I’ve done very well. Is there a problem?”
“Perhaps you’ve misread the script? You’ve changed your lines for the 3rd time already.”
