Chapter 23.1 – Wronged

It was not a secret that the second feminine lead, Lin Yiran, may be part of the crew due to the buyers. As a result of there was a backer behind Lin Yiran, she didn’t hesitate to herald her personal screenwriters.

Su Yan was mentally ready for this earlier than becoming a member of the group, however she was very offended due to it. She thought that even when some actors employed their very own screenwriters, it might not trigger an enormous drawback. Nonetheless, actuality poured a basin of chilly water on her, utterly waking her up.

Actors bringing their very own screenwriters into the group was undoubtedly contempt and insult to them, in addition to contempt and disrespect for his or her work outcomes. However a lot of the screenwriters didn’t dare to talk out as a result of the screenwriter’s standing within the group was very low, and she or he had no proper to talk in any respect.

A movie crew was a small society, the highest of the society was not the director or the main actor with a big fan base, however the type of folks with capital and backing behind them; the screenwriter was the underside of the society, each humble staff and hard-working software folks.

For the crew of “Watching the Moon within the West Constructing”, the second feminine, Lin Yiran, was on the high of society; even the main actor and director needed to give her three factors of courtesy. If she needed to vary the script, she would merely rush into the land of nobody, and nobody dared to cease her. What Su Yan was most anxious about was that Lin Yiran would add additional scenes for herself. If the additions may very well be made with out altering a lot of the unique script, she may settle for them, but when the additions have been too outrageous, it might make the define very inconsistent. It might severely settle for the general storyline and destroy the fantastic thing about the script. The largest drawback can be that, when the drama was broadcast, if the viewers was dissatisfied with the drama, all of them would blame the poor screenwriter on the finish.

Su Yan’s worries began the primary day Lin Yiran joined the group, and he or she spent greater than every week in anxiousness. Due to this fact, the precise state of affairs was way more critical than she imagined—Lin Yiran’s methodology of including scenes was to not add her personal scenes however to grab the scenes that initially belonged to the heroine and add them to herself.

This was the primary time that Su Yan had encountered such a tough drawback after working within the trade for 2 years.

If it have been one other drama, the influence of doing this may not be too huge, however “West Tower Watching the Moon” was a bit completely different. The heroine and the second heroine have been sisters who fell in love with the identical man. The second heroine performed many tips to win the center of the male lead. She even deliberate to kill her sister, took her sister’s id, and deceived the male lead.

On the marriage day of the male lead and the second feminine lead, the feminine lead got here again domineeringly, uncovered her sister’s conspiracy and lies in public, and regained her innocence and justice.

What Lin Yiran needed so as to add to herself was a scene during which the heroine risked her life to save lots of the heroine on the battlefield and likewise modified the second heroine’s try and kill the heroine, which not solely utterly distorted the character design of the heroine but in addition severely broken the viewers’s sense of involvement and empathy with the heroine.

As one of many screenwriters of this play, Su Yan couldn’t settle for this sort of change that may destroy the story.

However what made her even angrier was that Lin Yiran didn’t focus on it along with her in any respect earlier than altering the script, and he or she solely came upon about it on the day the filming of the scene began.

Lin Yiran had solely mentioned this matter with the director and received the director’s help and approval, however the director didn’t inform Su Yan, the screenwriter, not to mention come to debate it along with her. It clearly confirmed that the director hadn’t taken Su Yan’s place severely and hadn’t had any respect for her. Even when he didn’t respect her as an individual, he ought to respect the fruits of their labour, proper?

For a screenwriter, sustaining the completion of the script was the underside line, so she should cease this matter. So Su Yan couldn’t simply sit and look forward to her onerous work to be destroyed in different folks’s fingers.

After the filming of that scene, Su Yan went to search out the director.
