Chapter 69 Give me a pillow if you feel sleepy

After stopping the car, Xia Qing looked at Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi and felt a little embarrassed.

But Sister Li was waiting for her at the door again, so she had no choice but to go and come back quickly so as not to keep Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi waiting for too long.

As for Lin Guzhi's suggestion of buying an electric car, she didn't hear a word he said.

After galloping back to Heping No. 1 Community, Xia Qing parked the car and trotted into the apartment door and took the elevator. As for the marriage certificate, she left it in the car and did not dare to take it out.

"Ding--"

The elevator went up to the 17th floor and the door opened. Xia Qing walked out of the elevator and saw Sister Li still at the door. She looked fine, but she looked a little depressed.

"Sister Li, have you been waiting here?"

Xia Qing asked hurriedly as he went forward to open the door.

Yang Lijing made way for Xia Qing and said, "I'm too lazy to run around, so I'll just wait for you here."

The door was opened, and Xia Qing and Yang Lijing walked into the living room. Yang Lijing sat down on the sofa, while Xia Qing ran to pour water and looked for any places that might reveal traces of Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's residence, and quickly put them away.

Fortunately, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi did not leave things randomly as usual. She did not find any signs that might expose her.

"What happened, Sister Li? You look so depressed."

Xia Qing brought a glass of water to Yang Lijing, placed it on the coffee table, and asked.

Yang Lijing sighed and said, "Alas, it's all because of the play I invested in."

Xia Qing asked: "Is it the costume drama adapted from the novel?"

She had heard from Sister Li before that she knew that Sister Li had invested in a drama adaptation with the theme of ancient palace fighting. The adapted novel was said to be quite famous. And Sister Li was also very optimistic about the drama.

After all, Li Jie herself started out by acting in costume palace fighting dramas, and this kind of drama is her old trade. She is sure of it.

But Xia Qing is very sure that fans of the original novel will definitely criticize this drama after it is made.

Having lived in Li Jie's house for a long time, she knew the filming mode of the drama that Li Jie invested in and produced.

There were several screenwriters for the show, but almost none of them had read the original novel. Although they were adapting the novel, they all disdained the content of the novel. Even before filming began, they had no intention of studying the novel in detail. They just read the plot outline of the novel and wrote the first few episodes based on the content of the outline.

Then the subsequent scripts are written while filming, and the screenwriters brought by the popular actors will get involved and modify the content at any time to meet the actors' performance expectations.

With all this going on, it would be strange if the plot of the novel was not greatly changed. There are quite a few dramatic conflicts in it, but they are all pieced together by several screenwriters through various quarrels and compromises. It is messy and bloody. In the end, it is definitely not something that fans of the original novel will be able to watch. Only fans of popular stars will buy into it.

But there is no way. In today's world, who can make money and save trouble in this way?
Sister Li occasionally cares about word of mouth and tries her best to make a film with good word of mouth, but most of the time, she is still willing to make a lot of money. Xia Qing tried to persuade Sister Li, but to no avail, so she had no choice but to give up.

Yang Lijing said, "Yes, it was that drama. We finally finished filming and it was scheduled to be released, but then something happened to that idiot Huang Yan! I was so pissed off!"

Xia Qing was slightly surprised: "Huang Yan?! Something happened to him?!"

She knew this person, a former traffic star who became out of fashion because he was a little older and didn't have any good resources.

Because this popular star has a good dancing background, he can take roles with martial arts scenes. Sister Li also saw this in him and invited him to play a role with some action scenes in the new drama, but the role is not big. Yang Lijing said: "Yes, according to the news this morning, he was reported by Xiangyang people and was arrested last night. If he is in the new drama, he will definitely not be able to appear. If he is removed, the plot will be incoherent, which is really terrible!"

Xia Qing said: "Sister Li, why don't you revise the script and reshoot it? Isn't it all right?" Anyway, Sister Li is making a bad movie this time. It's okay as long as there are traffic stars and fans who buy it. The plot is already bad, so what's wrong with it being worse?

Yang Lijing glared at Xia Qing and said, "It's not as easy as you think. The leading actors in my drama are all popular money-making machines. After filming, they took on other projects. They are very busy. It's okay to ask them to cooperate with publicity and hype, but how can we invite them back to reshoot?"

"Ah? What should we do?"

Xia Qing was also a little worried for a moment.

Yang Lijing took a sip of the water in the cup, and felt that the water in the cup was a little hot, so she put the cup down again. She sighed and said, "Alas, there is no other way now. We can only find someone to replace Huang Yan and reshoot his scenes."

Xia Qing was puzzled: "But how can one person reshoot? Huang Yan's scenes can't all be a one-man show, right?"

Yang Lijing said: "Just cut out the picture. Find someone to play the role, and then cut out the person and paste him in after the performance. Fortunately, Huang Yan doesn't have many scenes."

Xia Qing said: "Sister Li, you have already thought of an idea. So why are you so worried?"

Yang Lijing sighed again: "Why not worry? I have the idea, but I can't find the right person. You know that action stars are scarce nowadays. Where can I find someone with a good image and some action skills?"

When Xia Qing heard Yang Lijing's words, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Li, do you have any requirements for the actor's fame and acting skills?"

Yang Lijing said: "It has come to this, what else do I need to ask for fame? If my image can pass, the action scenes can be filmed more realistically, and the play can be passed smoothly as soon as possible, I will be thankful!"

As for acting, she simply skipped it.

She didn't think about her acting skills when filming this movie. Her performance in the movie was just okay, and she didn't think about the role seriously.

Actually, she is quite unprofessional and sometimes she feels ashamed of herself.

But there is no other way, this is how you make money! And it’s easy!
When she got to this point, she suddenly paused, looked at Xia Qing, and asked, "Why, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Xia Qing nodded and smiled, "Hehe," "I do have a candidate, but I have to ask first."

Yang Lijing asked anxiously: "Who? Which one?"

Xia Qing replied: "What you don't know is that he is an amateur. But he does look pretty good, mature, calm and handsome... Not ugly, and he has a background in martial arts."

"Really?"

Yang Lijing's eyes lit up, "Is it reliable?"

Xia Qing did not give Yang Lijing a definite answer, but just said: "I will ask him first. If he is willing, how about I bring him to see you? You can see for yourself whether he is reliable or not by then."

Yang Lijing didn't quite believe that Xia Qing could find the right person, but now she had no other choice but to give it a try. She nodded and said, "Okay, do it as soon as possible."

　Thanks to Qingya Bailu for the reward.
