Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 32 Change the play
"Hello? Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Director Li Huizhu frowned and looked at Chen Xiaodong with concern.

"Director, I, I have something wrong! I feel extremely uncomfortable, I can't breathe, and I have no appetite at all. I didn't even eat anything this morning." Chen Xiaodong smiled bitterly, his face pale.

"Oh, I asked the doctor, and he said you have altitude sickness, and I don't know when you can adapt. But you are the male lead - how about this, you go and get oxygen first." Li Huizhu had a bitter face and was in a very depressed mood.

Li Huizhu has been filming in the mainland for many years, but this is the first time she has encountered a situation like Chen Xiaodong.

Although the altitude where they are filming is indeed a bit high, and some people in the crew do have altitude sickness, no one's condition is worse than Chen Xiaodong's.

It just so happens that all the filming locations for the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story" were shot at places with relatively high altitudes.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiaodong is the male lead of this drama. To be honest, Chen Xiaodong has the most scenes in this drama. Now that Chen Xiaodong has become like this, Li Huizhu is really depressed. She even feels stuffy in her chest. She almost got altitude sickness from being so angry.

Seeing director Li Huizhu's bitter face, screenwriter Shisan couldn't help but sigh.

"Director, Chen Xiaodong is the male lead of this play. How can we continue filming this play with his current condition? Otherwise, let's change the lead." Shisan couldn't help but make a suggestion to Li Huizhu.

"The contract has been signed. If you regret and want to change the protagonist now, you will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages." Li Huizhu rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"This is not our problem. Chen Xiaodong had altitude sickness himself and couldn't hold on. Should we replace him as the protagonist and pay him liquidated damages?" Thirteen couldn't help but retort.

"Go talk to his agent and see if he agrees?" Li Huizhu sneered.

"...What should we do? He's like this, there's no way to be afraid of him, especially since Ning Caichen has so many roles to play. Do we have to transfer Ning Caichen's role to other people?" Thirteen's tone was full of helplessness.

"...Shift the focus to someone else? That's not impossible!" Li Huizhu looked at Thirteen with shining eyes. "Thirteen, as the screenwriter of our A Chinese Ghost Story, this job is now yours."

"Me? I--" Thirteen opened his mouth and wanted to curse.

Although it is true that when filming in Hong Kong, many TV dramas are almost always written and filmed on the same day.

But in mainland China, for general TV series or movies, a complete script is first prepared and submitted to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for review. After review, the filming starts. There is no need to write and shoot at the same time like in Hong Kong.

Thirteen had finally finished writing the script, and now he had to change it, and move the protagonist's role to other people, while also ensuring that the plot did not go astray. This was definitely not an easy task.

If the protagonist's role was changed, then the roles of other characters would also have to be changed drastically. This was definitely not a small project. Thirteen scratched his head in pain, feeling that the hair on his head was about to fall away from him.

"That's it. You should move more of Chen Xiaodong's roles to the second and third male leads. I'll leave this matter to you." Li Huizhu patted Shisan's shoulder and said.

"Are you kidding me? Can the protagonist's role be moved around just like that? The protagonist's storyline is very clear, and the storylines of the second and third male leads are also very complete. If you move the protagonist's role to them, not only will the protagonist's role become smaller, but the storylines of the second and third male leads will become bloated. The second male lead already has a love line, especially the third male lead. Yan Chixia is an old man now. How are you going to move him around? Let him fall in love with Nie Xiaoqian? In my opinion, instead of moving the male lead's role to the second and third male leads, you might as well add the protagonist's role to the fifth male lead. After all, he and Nie Xiaoqian had a love line before." Thirteen shouted very angrily.

"Okay, then let's do as you say and move the male lead's role to male No. 5. I'll leave this matter to you." Li Huizhu smiled slightly and handed down the task according to Thirteen's words.

"I--Damn it!" Thirteen was stunned, and finally couldn't help but raise his middle finger towards Li Huizhu.

……

As the fifth male lead in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Li Boda is like a transparent person in the crew.

In the crew, almost no one paid attention to Li Boda, except Wu Jing, who would occasionally say a few words to Li Boda, especially after learning that Li Boda was also good at martial arts, and sometimes even clamored to compete with Li Boda.

The second is Chen Zihan. Chen Zihan would often look at Li Boda intentionally or unintentionally, but whenever Li Boda noticed his gaze and asked Chen Zihan to look over there, Chen Zihan would avoid Li Boda's gaze. Then she would get angry when she realized that she had avoided Li Boda's gaze, and would glare at Li Boda fiercely.

Chen Zihan's attitude made Li Boda a little confused.

"As expected, women are troublesome." Li Boda muttered to himself about Chen Zihan's reaction, and then tried to stay away from her.

However, Li Boda's reaction made Chen Zihan even more angry. You did that kind of thing to me in my dream, and now you are still avoiding me, right?
Although Chen Zihan herself understood that her dream had nothing to do with Li Boda, it did not prevent her from blaming Li Boda for the crime when she was angry.

Of course, if Chen Zihan knew the essence of this dream, she would probably tear Li Boda apart.

Li Boda didn't know what Chen Zihan was thinking. Of course, he didn't care what Chen Zihan was thinking at this moment, because the screenwriter of "A Chinese Ghost Story" Shisan found Li Boda.

"Mr. Li, come here. This is the scene you are going to shoot today. Take a good look at it and don't make any mistakes." Thirteen handed a few pieces of paper to Li Boda.

"Okay, screenwriter. Don't worry, I'll definitely read it carefully," Li Boda promised. He had put a lot of effort into the script for A Chinese Ghost Story. Although he couldn't say he could recite it by heart, he knew it like it was impossible to do. As long as he knew which scene to film, Li Boda could quickly get into the mood.

However, when Li Boda saw the papers in his hand, he was a little confused. The content written on the papers didn't seem right. There was no such thing in his script at all?
