Chapter 5: The fifth day of being popular
Chapter 5: The fifth day of being popular
The friend's lips moved and finally shook his head helplessly: "Liuhui, your idea is very good. But there are no similar success stories so far."
"We cannot deny that this script has the possibility of becoming popular, but no one wants to bet on it."
"For dramas of the same genre, a sweet love have a 60% chance of becoming popular, while your drama has only a 1% chance of becoming popular. If it were you, would you like to participate in the latter?"
Cheng Liuhui was speechless.
He knew that although the other party's words were not pleasant, they were true.
Innovation was risky.
What's more, even Cheng Liuhui himself was not sure whether this drama would be popular with the public.
"Forget it" he finally said after a long time, "If there are still no contestants willing to come, I'll modify the script."
It was very difficult to say, and Cheng Liuhui couldn't hide the struggle in his eyes.
However, in the face of reality, he had to make a compromise.
"Ding Dong"
At this moment, the phone screen lit up, and a friend request popped up.
[Hello Director Cheng Liuhui, I'm Yao Bianliang, a contestant in "Good Drama PK Competition"]
[I'm very interested in the drama "To Our Youth", can we talk about it?]
"Huh?" The friend's eyes lit up, "Liu Hui, another player is looking for you to chat."
Cheng Liuhui naturally also saw the notification.
Compared to his friend's surprise, he just smiled wryly.
Before this, it was not like no player had talked to him.
But when they learned that he wouldn't change the script and that the heroine had to be plain, no one wanted to come.
"Let me talk to her." Cheng Liuhui didn't dare to have too much hope.
He's almost resigned now.
In his opinion, this female contestant would probably not agree after asking about the situation.
Cheng Liuhui: "Hello, I'm Cheng Liuhui."
Yao Bianliang: "Hello, Director Cheng, Yiqing recommended your group to me. Can we meet and talk in detail?"
Cheng Liuhui: "Sorry, Miss Yao, you may not know something Regarding the drama "To Our Youth", I don't intend to overhaul the script, nor will I add emotional lines."
Yao Bianliang: ?
Yao Bianliang: "When did I say that I would modify the script?"
Cheng Liuhui was stunned: "You..."
"You don't need to change the script. I think this plot of learning every day and not falling in love is very good."
Yao Bianliang said seriously: "The male protagonist is invisible all the time, there is no emotional line, and the female protagonist wears plain makeup... These settings are perfect. In short, I am really interested in this script, can Director Cheng consider me?"
Cheng Liuhui: "..."
A script that only talked about learning every day was very good in her opinion?
The hero was invisible all the time, this plot was actually "perfect"?
And she was even looking forward to the "plain makeup" thing?!
Cheng Liuhui closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Well, he heard it right.
The actress not only affirmed his script but also enthusiastically expressed her willingness to act in it!
The friend on the other side was also dumbfounded, and murmured: "Is there really a fool who is willing to come? - Oh no, this is not a fool, this is a Bodhisattva who sacrifices herself to save others."
At this point, the friend's expression was sincere and said: "Cheng Liuhui, I seriously suggest that you get a memorial tablet and pray to her."
Cheng Liuhui: "..."
Cheng Liuhui pinched his thigh and hissed lightly in pain.
It was not a dream, he was finally lucky!
He stood up abruptly, slowed down for half a second, and then started typing excitedly. "Of course! Ms. Yao, I can meet and chat with you anytime."
Both of them decided to meet at the coffee shop. Inside, there was a piece of melodius music playing in the room, Yao Bianliang and Cheng Liuhui chose a seat by the window and sat down.
They were newcomers on the 18th line, and they were not well-known, so there was no need to avoid the crowd.
The waiter brought two cups of coffee, Cheng Liuhui took a sip from the cup and smiled helplessly. "To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect that there would be contestants willing to act in my script. Before you sent me a message, I was ready to modify the script."
Yao Bianliang frowned slightly.
What, change the script?
What a joke, such an excellent script couldn't be modified!
"Director Cheng, what you said is wrong,"
Yao Bianliang said with a serious face, "Your script is very good. I only read it once, and I couldn't help being attracted. Such an excellent script, how can you change it as soon as others say no?"
Cheng Liuhui was undoubtedly rubbing the cup with his fingers, and seemed a little nervous: "You... really think this script is good?"
Yao Bianliang nodded: "Of course."
Because this script was tailor-made for her to become cold.
