Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Lisa finally appeared.

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly stood up and waved, "Lisa, over here."

Lisa Rong saw Zeng Xiaoxian and quickly walked over, anxiously asking, "Where's Xiaobu? Where's Xiaobu?"

Zeng Xiaoxian thought and thought, but couldn't come up with any excuse. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Oh, he... he had a hemorrhoid flare-up, so he went to the hospital, haha!"

Lisa Rong said speechlessly, "Hemorrhoids? Are they acting up again?"

Guan Gu Shenqi said in a serious tone, "Yes, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up."

"Uh~, okay, then I'll be going now if there's nothing else." Lisa Rong shrugged and got up to leave.

Guan Gu Shenqi quickly nudged Zeng Xiaoxian, who was stunned.

Zeng Xiaoxian then came to his senses and said with an awkward smile, "Ah, um, Lisa, we haven't talked about our business yet!"

"Oh? Really? What is it?" Lisa asked with a cool and aloof expression.

Zeng Xiaoxian glanced at Guan Gu Shenqi and whispered, "We need his help, so let's be more discreet in our words."

“I know (in Japanese),” Guan Gu Shenqi replied, then said to Lisa, “Lisa, I’m a fan of the TV series ‘Reversal Heroes.’ I watch every episode.”

Lisa Rong said with a smile, "Really? It seems we can consider targeting the Japanese and Korean markets."

"This show is really good, especially your screenwriter, he's incredibly talented," Guan Gu said sarcastically.

"Did he graduate from a school for the mentally challenged? The plots he writes are worse than sheep's voices. Even amoebas couldn't survive on the keyboards he's touched. The biggest difference between him and a pig is that a pig can't just turn into a human, but he turns into a pig every now and then. I bet he wrote the script with pig's trotters. I suggest he take some hemorrhoid medicine and treat his foot-and-mouth disease."

Su Mingyang clicked his tongue in amazement.

Guan Gu spoke this Chinese really fluently.

You must have a level of Chinese proficiency equivalent to Level 8, right?

Zeng Xiaoxian felt guilty and immediately handed the red wine that he had specially ordered for Lisa Rong to Lisa, saying nervously, "Lisa, don't be angry. He... he didn't take his medicine when he went out today."

Lisa Rong, holding a glass of red wine, asked expressionlessly, "Have you eaten?"

"Me? I ate..." Zeng Xiaoxian said, only realizing Lisa's meaning after he finished speaking, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Guan Gu asked smugly, "Teacher Zeng, was I being subtle? I didn't use a single swear word."

Zeng Xiaoxian gave Guan Gu Shenqi two thumbs up in admiration.

Lisa Rong looked at Guan Gu Shenqi and asked, "It seems you have a lot of issues with the screenwriter?"

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly said, "No, no, no, he has no objection. What he actually wanted to say was..."

Lisa Rong interrupted, "That's very insightful."

The three of them were stunned.

Lisa Rong complained, "I don't know what the screenwriter is thinking. It's been six episodes and there's still no clue. The murderer is still floating in the sky, and the suspense is getting more and more complicated."

Guan Gu Shenqi said emotionally, "And he even caused Youyou's death."

Upon hearing Guan Gu Shenqi's words, Lisa Rong immediately understood and asked, "...Oh~, I see, it was Tang Youyou who sent you to find me, right?"

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly explained, "No, Youyou doesn't know yet. She's actually dead. We just accidentally saw the script ahead of time..."

Guan Gu Shenqi pleaded, "Producer, we'd like to trouble you to discuss with the screenwriter and see if we can revise the script."

Lisa said, "You can't blame the screenwriter. It's the investors' problem. The recent exchange rate fluctuations have caused them heavy losses, so they had to cancel all the unnecessary plans."

Guan Gu Shenqi frowned and said, "But Youyou is the main character, not an unnecessary character!"

Lisa Rong shrugged and said, "They think the whole TV series is unnecessary. They'd rather build a couple more toilets in the city; at least that's a real estate project, zero risk, zero investment, you know what I mean."

"What?!" Guan Gu Shenqi was dumbfounded...

Su Mingyang and Zeng Xiaoxian were completely dumbfounded.

Lisa Rong explained, "It's already quite good that TV dramas are being filmed non-stop these days. Fortunately, we did a great job with product placement. The main sponsor is a private hospital, and they requested that a dramatic surgical procedure be included in the drama, so the screenwriter arranged for Youyou to participate."

Guan Gu Shenqi quickly asked, "You mean, Youyou isn't dead yet?"

Lisa Rong said, "Youyou is the main character, how could she possibly die?"

"That's great! Haha..." Guan Gu Shenqi excitedly hugged Su Mingyang and kissed Zeng Xiaoxian.

Su Mingyang felt both happy and disgusted, and frowned, saying, "Guan Gu, calm down."

Zeng Xiaoxian asked with a smile, "By the way, Lisa, what kind of surgery was it?"

Lisa Rong said with a smile, "According to the plot, she was shot in the chest and suffered multiple fractures throughout her body. She looked like she was dead, but her brain was still intact. The screenwriter decided to give her a... brain transplant surgery."

Zeng Xiaoxian said speechlessly, "Brain transplant? That's ridiculous!"

Lisa Rong explained, "This is how we can showcase the hospital's advanced technology! Officer Deng's brain has entered a new body, changed his identity, and become a gossip reporter. Together with the male protagonist, he solves wrongful convictions and upholds justice."

Su Mingyang complained, "This is even more ridiculous than anti-Japanese war dramas. They even have to replace the brains. I think the screenwriter should get a brain transplant."

"What can I do if the screenwriter writes it this way?" Lisa said indifferently.

Guan Gu Shenqi sensed something was wrong and asked, "Qiu Du Ma Dai, what did you mean when you said you were put into a new body?"

Lisa Rong shrugged and said, "It's a pity that the role of Youyou in the back of the head will probably have to be played by another actress. It was chosen by the sponsor."

Click!

It sounded like the sound of a heart breaking.

Guan Gu Shenqi completely broke down: "I might as well just die!"

Lisa Rong said, "I know this is cruel for Youyou, but that's the game. Tang Youyou's sacrifice ensured the safety of the entire crew. I shouldn't have given away the spoilers, but I think it might be easier for her to accept this bad news if her best friend told her. It's up to you guys."

After saying that, Lisa turned and left.

Su Mingyang, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Guan Gu Shenqi were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Chapter 462

There was silence for a while.

Zeng Xiaoxian said regretfully, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought that script in at all."

Guan Gu Shenqi said regretfully, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have peeked at the later parts of the story."

Zeng Xiaoxian said dejectedly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have read it to you at all."

Guan Gu Shenqi said painfully, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have suggested going to Lisa. A brain transplant would have been worse than being killed."

Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have recommended Youyou to that stupid film crew at all."

Guan Gu Shenqi said impatiently, "Yes, it's all your fault."

Zeng Xiaoxian was furious when he heard this.

I was just about to retaliate.

Su Mingyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you stop arguing. Things are already like this, what's the point of you saying all this?"

"Guan Gu Shenqi sighed, "This is terrible, how are we going to tell Youyou?"

"What else can we say? Let's just tell the truth. Youyou isn't new to acting; this setback shouldn't be a big deal for her," Su Mingyang said.

"That's all we can do now." Zeng Xiaoxian nodded. "Guan Gu, go and talk to Youyou."

"I don't dare, Teacher Zeng, you should go and talk to him," Guan Gu Shenqi said hesitantly.

Zeng Xiaoxian: "Go."

Guan Gu Shenqi: "Go."

Seeing the two of them declining each other's offer, Su Mingyang said speechlessly, "Can't we go together?"

"That makes sense."

"..."

that's it.

The three of them went to Tang Youyou's room.

At this moment, Tang Youyou was watching Reverse Heroes on her laptop.

Zeng Xiaoxian asked, "Youyou, what are you doing?"

Tang Youyou said dejectedly, "I'm devastated."

The three of them looked at each other.

He wondered if Youyou already knew about this news?

The group breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt some worry.

"You... you know everything?" Guan Gu asked tentatively. After Tang Youyou nodded, he said in a deep voice, "Youyou, it's all in the past. Don't look at it anymore. The more you look, the more heartbroken you'll become."

Tang Youyou stared at the laptop and said sadly, "I'm not sad enough yet."

Zeng Xiaoxian whispered, "It's over, something's not right anymore, we're too late."

“You watched this scene from the last episode. I watched it again and realized there’s still a lot of room for improvement, especially the crying scene. Many viewers on Baidu Tieba said I wasn’t sad enough and didn’t resonate with the characters’ emotions enough, so I watched it again to review and find a breakthrough. Do you think my performance just now resonated with the characters’ emotions?” Tang Youyou said, looking at the three of them with anticipation.

Listen to what this means.

Tang Youyou doesn't know about that.
