027

Revised the plot slightly.

Ben's plan was successful, the only miscalculation was that Jasmine's already low opinion of the author dropped even further after talking to the old lady on the phone.

If it were an artist who considered the entertainment industry extremely important, they would separate work from personal emotions. Even if I don't like you, I would still strive for roles that could make me famous.

But Jasmine was not in that situation.

In the end, Andrew Yan also failed to win her over. But Andrew Yan did not lose out. Later that evening, he had a video call with an overseas editor, telling them he suddenly knew how to shape the female protagonist in the story.

It was really a pleasant surprise!

The editor asked him what inspired him.

"It's a secret, but I want to try a different method of character development, congratulations, you don't have to threaten me with jumping off a building to force me to include a female lead in the story."

The editor said, "Oh, I'm truly touched, would you be interested in sharing your experiences over there? I would love to listen."

"I'm sorry, I can't."

"...Okay, looking forward to Teacher Yan's new work! I was really touched. Next time, you won't have to listen to readers complain that your plot is exciting but the female lead is just a vase. God knows if the tabloid editors are speculating that you look down on women? Every time I see these reports, I want to call their editorial office and tell them: Please stop defaming our writers. He certainly does not look down on women, he just looks down on everyone other than himself..."

The conversation was cut off as the video stopped. Andrew Yan got up and ordered a cup of coffee. While waiting for the coffee to arrive, he reconsidered his works from the past few years. Many of the characteristics of the female characters in his works were derived from his mother. His mother was a person who was very good at enduring and tolerating, a personality that was inherently tragic and naturally suited to play the persecuted role in detective novels.

Today, when he saw Jasmine, he rarely directly felt the power and aura of a woman.

At first glance, she seemed far from "strong," but she made Andrew Yan feel like he had encountered a worthy opponent.

Thinking of Miss Jasmine's warning not to use her persona in his creations, otherwise she would take him to court.

Andrew Yan smiled.

People involved in creative work all have their muses.

Who would directly write the muse into the book?

A famous writer who had been forced by editors to write novels with tool-like female leads for several years suddenly had a breakthrough. He was extremely excited, his mind overflowing with ideas, and he quickly sketched out a new storyline while sipping coffee.

As for Jasmine, she also gained something. When she was about to leave, a middle-aged man who had been "no""can't""I disagree", came out to see her off.

The middle-aged man said, "I was a bit emotional just now, please don't mind. I wasn't targeting you, Miss Jasmine, but the movie we are preparing is something we are taking very seriously. Whether it's a gender-swapped protagonist or casting a female actress in a male role, these are things that are hard for us to accept. Teacher Yan might have the common trait of writers, sometimes being a bit whimsical. We, as investors in film making, prefer to be more cautious."

Jasmine accepted this without discomfort, nodding and saying, "I understand."

At this point, the middle-aged man added a few more words, "I've seen the TV series Miss Jasmine starred in, your aura is very good, you have personality and charm, you should be a suitable actress for the big screen. You might transition to film in the future. But personally, I suggest you not rush. After two successful TV series, it shouldn't be difficult for you to gain access to any domestic TV resources. I recommend starring in a couple of leading female roles to solidify your position before transitioning to the film industry, which might be a safer approach."

Jasmine thanked him, and only when she sat back in the car did Ben say that what Huang said was actually correct.

"In the past, those who rushed to transition to film after their TV series became popular mostly ended up in a tragic situation."

"Is it because the acting styles in movies and TV series are different?"

"That's one factor. You see, some people in the film industry who later return to TV series tend to act half-heartedly, not fully demonstrating their acting skills. Also, even if TV actors are quite popular, it's difficult for them to immediately get good resources when transitioning to the film industry. Don't you believe it, go and ask sister Chen, who is currently being approached for movie roles at this time?"

"Are they mostly people who want to leverage your popularity without investing much?"

"Indeed, there are successful movies that have expanded from small beginnings, but you may not be lucky enough to hit that. Once you miss, it's as if the entire crew sucked your blood, the movie flops, and you have to sneak back to the TV industry. "

"Those directors who come with a script promising you the world, my dear, you must never pay attention to them."

"If you really want to make a movie, follow Andrew Yan's approach. If he truly wants to base a character on you, let him write it, and then whoever wants to adapt it will have to beg you to play the role."

Jasmine waved her hand, "Stop mentioning Andrew Yan. I can see a sparkle in your eyes after meeting him."

Ben: ...???

What does it mean to have a sparkle in your eyes after meeting him?

What was my image in your mind before?

Ben wanted to ask, but was afraid of a backlash.

He simply pretended to be deaf and turned to ask about the situation of that house? 

"The owner of the small house is an old lady, Andrew Yan should be her daughter's daughter's son."

"So, your hostility towards him is because of...?"

"Frustration and anger, the old lady's husband and daughter are not very good, but I never had the chance to confront them face to face, so when I see the descendant of her unfilial daughter, I can't help it."

...

...

...

Someone actually said "frustration and anger" so confidently.

It's kind of cute. ૮(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)ა

Jasmine thought for a moment and said, "After I came out, I felt that things from two generations ago shouldn't be blamed on him, but he was too sarcastic."

Ben said, "It seems to be because he doesn't fit in."

Jasmine didn't quite understand.

Ben said, "A few years ago in an interview, they asked him why he wrote his first detective story, he said it was because of the pervasive malice. He's mixed-race, intelligent, and above average, he was ostracized by groups before. These people usually end up either extremely lacking in confidence or turning into his type, looking down on others in their hearts."

ay ya yay

The daughter of the old lady is striving to go abroad, and this is the result?

It's quite ironic.

***

Jasmine wandered for two more days before returning to the "Seeking Immortality" crew to continue filming. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a few days, Yuyang stupid remained the same after this return.

After the assistant enlightened him, this brother went to the director during break time to discuss the script.

He felt there was an issue with the script.

"Why is it that every time the sister is in danger, her brother is with the female lead?"

"You're saying it wrong. The main characters are in a normal relationship, it's when his sister suddenly does something stupid, you see, a lot of things are not necessary for the brother, but she happened to be deceived at that time, she was naive, believed that was important to her brother, and made unilateral sacrifices."

The director tried to explain the logic to Yuyang, saying that the brother was unaware when the sister acted foolishly, if he knew, he wouldn't have gone stargazing but would have definitely gone to find his sister.

The logic was sound right.

"But the audience won't see it that way."

The director shrugged, "Our main characters have to have some emotional scenes, right? If she goes risking her life, it's not a good time for romance, but is it better when she comes back all miserable?"

Yuyang: ...

"The audience also gets angry at the characters, not just the actors, and besides, isn't the female lead having it worse than you?"

That's true.

At most, the male lead struggles to balance his sister and girlfriend, slightly favoring the female lead.

Would fans really lash out at the male lead for this?

Probably not.

Isn't it the female lead who withstands the criticism?

Think about it, when Chen Xi first joined the crew, he only delivered an eight-point performance, just because he felt pressure from Jasmine, she has brought out a twelve-point acting recently, hoping the female lead will look more charming after the broadcast.

Everyone is working so hard, the director is quite pleased with the recent content filmed, feeling that this show is really solid, with this casting choice and quality, there is no possibility of it flopping.

"Seeking Immortality" is going smoothly, while "Girls" is not going as smoothly.

The ratings are still high, but the closer it gets to the end, the more unhappy the audience becomes.

It's clear that in reality, Sister Struggle is the treasure of the screenwriters and directors, she represents a kind of political correctness, in simple terms, only those who work hard will achieve great success.

The outcome for this character is a successful career.

The main lubricant responsible for adjusting the relationship between girlfriends is a happy family with an ordinary career.

The love brain that encounters three scumbags in a row undergoes growth through the plot, resulting in self-love and starting anew.

As for the heartthrob...

from the moment she first intervened in sweet relationships, the audience has been waiting for her comeuppance.

By the end, her punishment is that the one who supported her is tired of her, she has neither love nor career, wasted years in vain, and I regrets deeply.

Seeing this ending, the audience is left in shock. ๑ᵒᯅᵒ๑

——I see that ultimately I was just waiting for Qin Chuchu, this despicable person, to get what she deserved. And the result is this?????

——Interfering in a friend's relationship, being kept as the mistress by that man, and not finding someone to take care of this pair of despicable people, letting her live until the end! Thank goodness the drama is over, will the next one still have to present me with a story of a scheming woman?

——Can't they film something that the audience loves? Do they have to forcefully promote positive energy through confession?

——Is this the story of four girls? I thought it was about the struggles of the royal sister and her contrasting group. She made it big, so am my sweetie not deserving of success?

——Trashy screenwriter, trashy director really annoys me!

...

The director thinks just by watching the beginning, the audience should understand that the one who will succeed in the end is definitely the royal sister. Is there no correct moral compass in TV dramas nowadays? Do they have to tell the audience that becoming a mistress will lead to success in one step?

The director thinks it's crystal clear, but the audience is wondering what nonsense he is talking about?

I've been watching for so long just to see an extra character crush the main female lead in my heart?

After the drama ended, the dissatisfied audience criticized the TV series on social media.

After venting their anger, they quickly put aside this infuriating drama and went to Jasmine's Facebook to leave messages.

——Jas, promise me, next time you must star in a drama with a single female lead, you as the lead actress!

——Give us two more roles like Gu Pan and Sweet, I might die from excitement.

——Does anyone know what's going on in "Seeking Immortality"? Can siblings' love always be heartwarming?

Jasmine happened to see this and confidently replied: [This series has no romantic scenes, family bonds run through the whole drama, it's especially sincere, warm, touching, and healing.]

Her fans were very happy to see her response.

They couldn't care less about the previous drama, now they are eagerly waiting for "Seeking Immortality" to finish filming and air soon.

God knows, when Yu Yang sees her promoting this to her fans, his heart feels cold.

As for that dog sister's ending.

When it airs, he might just drop dead on the spot.

Now all we can hope for is that the fans of his fans love him as much as they claim to! They must love him more than they love dog! Otherwise, it would be a complete disaster.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the drama aired.

——I've decided to break up with my Celebrity unilaterally for half a month!

——Sob sob, Yu Yang, you're heartless!
