Chapter 193: Script Rewrite and Investor Change

Su Qi deserves half the credit for Li Yancheng's dislike of Shu Yu. The scheme he devised for revenge back then just happened to have a butterfly effect; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have known each other.

Su Qi was carrying the script when Li Yancheng suddenly rushed out: "Hey, how could you make me play a scumbag?"

"Quickly change the character's persona!"

"This isn't just about affecting my reputation; it's about affecting the overall reputation of the show!"

Su Qi picked up Li Yancheng's script and felt that the plot seemed familiar.

She turned to look at Shu Yu, whose pale face was gradually warming up.

Although she suspected that Shu Yu was smuggling in his own ideas, upon closer reflection, she realized that Shu Yu didn't have the extraordinary ability to reach out to the scriptwriting team.

Then there's only one possibility: Shu Yu had already planned ahead. She heard that the script for the second female lead in this movie was very similar to her own experience, and she could use that to boost the film's popularity.

"You don't want children, just to get this kind of gig?"

Shu Yu looked up at her and smiled helplessly: "I know you won't believe me."

It was an accident. After Shu Yu decided to abort her child with that man, she received this filming invitation.

Su Qi paused for a few seconds: "No matter what, your health is the most important thing. Your scenes start filming tomorrow, so take the script and ask for leave to go home and rest."

Shu Yu was somewhat moved. After being away for several hours, that man was not as concerned about her as her mortal enemy.

That kind of man is truly heartless.

"I...I'll rest for a while and then go back."

Li Yancheng was discussing script revisions with the scriptwriting team.

"I have only one request: I don't want to play scumbag men."

"But Mr. Li... the script needs to be broadcast this way to be interesting; the more controversial it is, the more viewers it gets..."

Li Yancheng rolled his eyes: "Do I need data?"

Li Yancheng, who has already become a top influencer, doesn't care about this amount of traffic at all; he cares more about reputation and positive energy.

Shu Yu and Su Qi walked over. Li Yancheng glanced at Shu Yu with a disdainful expression: "Shu Yu, did you sneak in your own agenda?"

Shu Yu was taken aback, not expecting Li Yancheng to think that way.

"Don't blame me for saying this, everyone in the industry knows what you were like before. Trust is hard to build overnight, and people only look at their first impression of you."

Li Yancheng ignored Shu Yu and went up to Su Qi, putting his arm around her arm. His tone was somewhat coquettish: "You and I need to persuade the director. I really don't want to play this kind of role!"

Su Qi raised an eyebrow and said deliberately, "Well, with your background and status, you can certainly afford to spend some money."

Li Yancheng frowned: "No, what will I look like if word gets out? The whole internet will be talking about my bad points."

Su Qi couldn't help but think that Lin En should provide services to such an artist because she was so conscientious.

Seeing the two getting along well, Shu Yu stood to the side, feeling slightly awkward.

After a long pause, Shu Yu said to the director, "Brother Li's role is the main character, so even if it's subtle, it still has a bad influence."

After considering all aspects, the director listened to advice and compromised.

However, the investors behind it may not be so happy.

“They’re just investors, I can invest.” Su Qi stepped forward: “If the investors withdraw their investment because of this, leave the rest to me.”

With everyone finally relieved, they began implementation. As the script was being revised, the artists and their teams gradually returned to their hotels to rest.

Li Yancheng loves eating out, so he organized a dinner party, inviting Su Qi, the director, and several artists.

However, when the dishes were served, only Li Yancheng actually ate.

He ate heartily, then put his arm around Su Qi: "Eat up, what are you looking at?"

Su Qi picked up her chopsticks, casually picked up some food and put it in her bowl, but didn't eat it.

"By the way, what kind of script are you planning to change it to?" she asked.

Shu Yu had just reached the restaurant entrance and was about to look for Su Qi when she saw this scene.

"That's simple. It's the second female lead's own behavior. She was having affairs with several men and was afraid of being exposed, so she had an abortion."

No matter how the script is changed, the image of the artist will always be damaged.

Li Yancheng paused for a moment: "Anyway... that Shu Yu isn't a good person either, isn't he just playing himself?"

After saying that, he picked up some food with his chopsticks, but found it difficult to swallow, looking preoccupied.

Shu Yu heard these words at the door, turned around and left in tears.

"Hey? Isn't that Shu Yu? No wonder she didn't come to dinner, turns out she was feeling guilty."

No one around seemed to care and continued chatting. Su Qi stood up and said, "Excuse me for a moment."

Su Qi found her in the restroom.

She clenched her fists and was crying; the woman, whose complexion had just returned to normal, turned pale again.

"It's all my fault, I demeaned myself."

"You're right, I should have stayed away from this industry in the first place."

"But I just don't want to lose."

"I want those who look down on me to envy me and be jealous of me..."

Su Qi smiled and said, "But you used the wrong method. Going to Zheng Ran was the most irrational choice."

"Now is not the time to talk about these things; rights must be earned through one's own efforts."

Shu Yu was brought back to the restaurant by Su Qi, and when everyone saw this scene, the smiles on their faces instantly froze.

"What does Miss Su mean by this?"

"Why did you bring her here again?"

Li Yancheng looked up and his brows furrowed slightly.

Su Qi looked at everyone and said, "Regarding the script issue, I hope everyone can discuss it reasonably. If we want to create a good work, we can't unilaterally impose a crime on a certain character."

"Of course, if it's just for traffic, then disregard what I said and I'll quit the show."

Su Qi put on gloves, as if she was about to leave the dinner.

"Oh, no, Miss Su, this movie depends entirely on you and Mr. Li..."

Li Yancheng nodded in agreement, took a sip of beer, and stood up: "I also think that the script issue shouldn't be handled so hastily."

Li Yancheng said that on purpose in front of Shu Yu because of personal grudges.

Afterwards, Li Yancheng realized he had done something wrong and apologized to Shu Yu: "I'm sorry..."

Shu Yu was moved to tears, shaking her head in response to Li Yancheng's apology: "Thank you..."

"Then tell me, what should we do about the script? The investors are the Zheng family, a major player in the entertainment industry."

As soon as the director finished speaking, the entire audience was stunned.

Shu Yu hadn't expected Zheng Ran's reach to be so long: "Then I understand, the script thing, he did it on purpose..."

"Yes, Mr. Zheng wants to arrange the script like this. What do you think we should do? It's a dead end."

Li Yancheng gritted his teeth and realized that Shu Yu wasn't smuggling in something, but was genuinely being threatened by that guy surnamed Zheng.

"It's numb..."

Li Yancheng called his father: "Lend me some money."

Li Haidao initially cursed and swore, but eventually transferred the money to Li Yancheng.

“I’ll invest in this movie. You tell Zheng Ran that you’re withdrawing your investment.”

The director almost knelt down: "Oh my, they're like second parents! I'll make the arrangements right away."

Meanwhile, New Classics Media.

"Is the movie she made with Li Yancheng going to change investors?"

Xie Tian nodded: "Yes, but are you really going to get involved in this mess? Zheng Ran's investment in this movie is clearly a deliberate attempt to target Su Qi and that woman."

"If I don't get involved, am I supposed to let that kid from the Li family get there first?"

"Huh?" Xie Tian didn't understand, but he felt there was a hint of sourness in his words: "Tsk."
