Chapter 76: Averting The Crisis

The atmosphere in the production crew was awkward, and no one said a word.

Jiang Zhi rushed to the set when she heard the situation. She gently pressed on Yu Wan’s shoulder to let her relax. “It’s okay. Take your time.”

Yu Wan bit her lips lightly. Her entire body was stiff as she lowered her eyes. Two drops of tears fell as she said sullenly.

“Sister Zhi, I’ve embarrassed you…”

Jiang Zhi knew very well that she was stubborn, but she was also thin-skinned. Now that Jiang Lu was mocking her in public, it was naturally difficult for her to take it in.

Considering Yu Wan’s current physical condition, if this scene was shot according to the original filming method, it would be difficult for her to display her advantage.

Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes and stared at the composition of the scenes. After thinking for a long time, she bent down and pointed at the script. She discussed it with Director Zheng in a humble and respectful manner.

“You see, during the assassination on the city wall, the photo shot of the third female character falling off the city wall sent great waves across the Internet…

“Why don’t we have Yu Wan’s character jump off the city wall during the assassination and get injured?

“This way, we can connect the plot from before to after the assassination, and it would also be more in line with Yu Wan’s current physical condition. It would allow her to better portray a wounded maiden…”

Jiang Zhi glanced at Director Zheng’s expression who seemed thus far agreeable as she said softly, “Why don’t we let Yu Wan go this way? If it’s possible, we can discuss the changes with the scriptwriter. I know that you pay the most attention to any underlying plotholes. Of course, I hope that it can be as perfect as possible.”

Director Zheng was deep in thought. He stared at the few highlighted lines in the script and considered it seriously.

After a long while, he held the walkie-talkie and agreed to give it a try.

Jiang Zhi pulled Yu Wan to her side and hurriedly gave her a few words of advice to give her confidence. “Your character is already injured. Remember, you are wounded, but your eyes must remain strong and focused because that’s who she is, understand?”

Yu Wan nodded.

The red dots of the cameras lit up again. Yu Wan was fully immersed in it, so the result was naturally better than before.

Director Zheng nodded with great satisfaction. He looked at Jiang Zhi and praised, “I never expected this. Jiang Zhi, you’re really suitable for the entertainment industry. Not only can you adjust the emotions of the artistes, but you can also rationalize the script according to the situation at the scene!

“If there’s a chance, I’m willing to work with Star Glory in the future!”

Jiang Zhi was once again able to deconstruct Jiang Lu’s meticulously planned plan. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she set her gaze on Jiang Lu. Her fingertips dug into the coffee cup as she bent the straw.

After Director Zheng confirmed the scene, he called the scriptwriter over to change the script.

The scriptwriter wore black-rimmed glasses and rushed over with a laptop in his arms. He looked exhausted from staying up all night to revise the script.

Jiang Lu thought of something and pretended to feel sorry for him. “Aiya, the scriptwriter is already so tired. Some people still rely on their status and background to change the script at will, increasing your workload…

“Professional matters should be left to professional people. She has replaced the scriptwriter’s position and added scenes for her own artiste without permission.

“If her manager is to mess around like this in the future, then the scriptwriter’s script will be in a mess!”

Jiang Lu was good at attacking the heart. A few sentences had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the scriptwriter.

Jiang Zhi did not care. Instead, she lowered herself and took the initiative to hold the scriptwriter’s hand. Her eyes were filled with a sincere smile.

“I have read your previous works. I like your style very much. The characters in your works truly breathe…

“I know that you’ve been conflicted about the scene where Yu Wan falls from the city wall after getting injured. Now that Yu Wan is seriously injured, I would like to try to integrate her current physical condition into the scene. I wonder if you would be willing to help adjust the plot?”

Jiang Zhi’s tone was gentle and slow, but the scriptwriter felt respect for her. He pushed up his glasses and said, “You know the script! You know what I want to express!

“This scene can be changed. Do you think we should add some scenes for the third female lead in the later scenes?

“I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. Yu Wan’s character seemed lackluster in the early stages of the script’s creation, but now I think we can make her more well-rounded!”

The scriptwriter had found his confidant, so Director Zheng did not even have to urge him. He opened the document swiftly and began to make changes.

The interaction between him and Jiang Zhi became more and more pleasant. He even ignored Director Zheng who was beside him. The two of them exchanged contact information and promised to discuss the plot frequently…

The unexpected turn of events made Jiang Lu anxious. She drank her coffee and accidentally choked on it. She coughed violently.

Jiang Zhi gave her a sidelong glance. There was contempt in her eyes.

The hurdles had been resolved. Jiang Zhi had encouraged Yu Wan to regain her confidence. Looking at her dazzling appearance in front of the camera, Jiang Zhi recalled the incident where Yin Yue had taken photos to promote her injury during filming.

She also took out her cell phone and hid behind the cameraman, secretly taking pictures of Yu Wan’s injury for publicity purposes.
