Chapter 63: Guest Appearance in "Go Princess Go"

After landing at Yiwu Airport, I found the car that the rental company had parked in advance in the parking lot and drove to Hengdian.

Outside the set of "Go Princess Go".

Before even getting out of the car, Jiang Chengyu noticed something different from before.

There are two people guarding the entrance to the film set.

But Jiang Chengyu wasn't particularly surprised.

This is a normal phenomenon on film sets.

However, to his surprise, he only stopped on the side of the road for a few more minutes.

Then a man guarding the intersection came running towards him.

The person knocked on the car window.

Jiang Chengyu lowered the car window while taking off his mask.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Chengyu, the man's cold expression softened instantly.

"Teacher Jiang?"

"You've come to visit the set?"

Jiang Chengyu shook his head: "I'm just here to play a cameo role. What's this?"

The person quickly explained, "After you and Teacher Tian Ai trended on social media a couple of days ago, paparazzi have been coming to cause trouble."

"The director asked the two of us to stand guard against paparazzi at the intersection."

"When I saw you park your car on the side of the road and not move or get out, I thought it was a paparazzi staking out the place."

Jiang Chengyu nodded knowingly; "I understand, then I'll go in now."

As he spoke, Jiang Chengyu opened the door and got out of the car.

It's a very short distance from where you park to the film set.

But the two had only taken a few steps when several paparazzi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tried to shove them in the face.

He held the lapel microphone close to Jiang Chengyu's mouth.

"Jiang Chengyu, are you here to visit Zhang Tianai on set?"

"Jiang Chengyu, are you two getting back together?"

"Jiang Chengyu, Zhang Tianai is the first ex-girlfriend you got back together with. Is there anything special about her?"

Jiang Chengyu...

The crew members around me reacted very quickly.

He immediately stood in front of Jiang Chengyu, pointing at the paparazzi and shouting.

"Stop filming! I'm telling you, stop filming! Did you hear me?!"

"Everyone, step back!"

"Can you understand human speech?"

"Don't push me, or I'll get rough!"

The unexpected situation prompted another staff member stationed at the intersection to rush over quickly.

However, he wasn't there to help his colleague.

"Teacher Jiang, please come with me."

"Let's go this way."

Jiang Chengyu calmly entered the film set under the guidance of the staff.

I couldn't help but stay calm.

Although the paparazzi's appearance was somewhat sudden.

But some things can't be compared.

Comparing mainland Chinese paparazzi in 2015 with Taiwanese entertainment paparazzi in the early 2000s.

That's the difference between a great-grandson and an ancestor.

Those people are the ones who have no bottom line.

Jiang Chengyu's threshold for dealing with paparazzi has long been raised to a very high level.

He even thought that paparazzi from mainland China were very polite...

After the interlude, we entered the film set, where the actors were filming.

Jiang Chengyu greeted the director and then sat down in the actors' rest area.

Not long after, Gan Wei rushed over with a folder in her hand.

"You're here."

"This is the script the screenwriter rushed out these past two days, take a look."

"If there's anything inappropriate, just tell me, and I'll have the screenwriter revise it."

Jiang Chengyu took the folder in surprise: "You really added a role for me in just two days?"

"What if we don't add it?"

"I've gone through the entire script, and none of the other roles are a good match for you."

Jiang Chengyu raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, instead looking down at the script.

There are seven scenes in total.

The character's name is Han Huaicheng.

His identity is the top military leader of the Southern Xia Dynasty, and his title is Duke of Jingguo.

This character is also a time traveler.

She transmigrated more than ten years earlier than the protagonist, Zhang Pengpeng.

In the drama, he noticed something amiss as soon as Zhang Pengpeng traveled through time, and even saved her once in a critical moment.

After they got to know each other, Han Huaicheng acted as a mentor to Zhang Pengpeng.

Later, in order to help the Crown Prince secure his position as heir apparent, Zhang Pengpeng used her shared hometown connection to appeal to Han Huaicheng's emotions and win him over.

In the end, Han Huaicheng and his wife Qiao Luo, also known as the Duchess of Jingguo, faked their deaths and went into seclusion in the mountains.

The above only covers the key plot points; the actual filming consisted of four scenes.

In the other three scenes, Han Huaicheng will appear in other people's memories.

This indirectly highlights the power and prestige of Duke Jingguo, Han Huaicheng.

After finishing the script and closing the folder, Jiang Chengyu sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Gan Wei, your screenwriters have such amazing imaginations!"

"So, is there anything you'd like to change?"

Jiang Chengyu shook his head: "No."

"Although the plot feels a bit off, it actually goes quite smoothly."

Gan smiled and said, "Of course it went smoothly; it would be abnormal if it didn't."

"The Duke of Jingguo and his wife were already very popular characters in the original work."

"We simply removed these two characters and the undercurrents of court politics during the adaptation process."

Jiang Chengyu was a little surprised; "A popular character from the original work?"

"Then why did you delete it?"

Speaking of this, Gan Wei also felt quite helpless.

"How would I know what the author was thinking?"

"In the original story, both the Duke of Jingguo and his wife were time travelers."

"Especially Lady Qiao Luo, the wife of the Duke of Jingguo."

"Knowing that the protagonist is a man in a woman's body, she guides him to enjoy the life of a woman and imparts her wisdom on palace intrigue."

.

"You can only find this kind of thing in novels."

"The adapted version won't pass censorship."

"Then the author's portrayal of the political intrigue and undercurrents in the imperial court was rather poor, making it too difficult to adapt."

"So we just cut it off completely back then."

Jiang Chengyu nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to the script.

"So it's been revised now?"

"I guess so. The screenwriter completely changed Qiao Luo's character."

"Transform Qiao Luo into an indigenous woman, a typical lady from a respectable family."

"The screenwriter also designed it so that Qiao Luo would teach Zhang Pengpeng how to be a traditional woman from an indigenous perspective."

"You didn't have access to that part of the story, but I saw it."

"It's quite interesting, and there are some funny moments."

"Some of Qiao Luo's mentor-like qualities from the original work have been grafted onto your character."

"Then the court intrigue storyline wasn't added."

"That's a huge project; it can't be fixed in three to five days."

After hearing Gan Wei's account, Jiang Chengyu had nothing more to say.

"Okay, I'll take the script and memorize my lines tonight."

"By the way, when will my movie be filmed?"

Gan Wei replied, "It depends on you. If you prepare quickly, we can start filming tomorrow afternoon."

"No problem, I'll try my best not to delay your filming schedule."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chengyu suddenly remembered something.

"I came straight to the film set after I got off the plane."

"Remember to prepare a room for me."

Upon hearing this, Gan Wei joked, "Do I still need to prepare anything?"

"What do you mean?"

"Tian Ai's bed is quite big; it's perfectly fine for the two of you to stay in it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu realized that what he said made sense.

However, he certainly couldn't reveal what he was thinking, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Um, I heard you say earlier that you added a new female character, Qiao Luo, right?"

"I think he has quite a few scenes."

"Who did you cast in this role?"

"And you even got other people to make cameo appearances?"

Jiang Chengyu successfully shifted the topic.

Gan Wei said with a bitter face, "I really want to find another friend to make a cameo appearance."

"It's too rushed, no one can find the time."

"So we had to find ordinary actors as a temporary solution."

"But don't worry, the assistant director found the actors."

"He's from the Central Academy of Drama, and he's also an actor from the Beijing People's Art Theatre, so his acting skills are definitely reliable."

Jiang Chengyu nodded: "I might know the actor's name."

"You probably don't know her. That girl has a rather strange name, Song Tie."
