"Tell me your reason."
Ye Ci did not realize that a super big boss of Lu Chuan's level would seriously ask her. After seriously pondering for a moment, she gave her answer —
"Ying Xiu is a female official, from the second rank. In truth, as long as one was a female official, they could serve the Emperor. If he had to add on the fact that the Emperor had been doting on Yingxiu for a long time … It doesn't make sense. "
Xie Penghui subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Ye Ci continued, "Because although Yingxiu has served by the emperor's side all year long, in terms of beauty and talent, she simply can't compare to the concubines of the imperial harem. Moreover, if you add in the emotional drama of the emperor towards Yingxiu, then the emotional drama of the female lead would be much less difficult to deal with in terms of imperial power … "Later on, Ying Xiu and Xixi will have to fight each other. The changes are too great."
Lu Chuan had been listening quietly the entire time, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. When Xie Penghui heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Indeed, as Ye Ci had said, if the relationship between the emperor and the palace maid were truly added, then the entire character design and plot of Yingxiu would have to change.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Penghui struggled to say, "Then let's just directly add the plot of the emperor's favor towards Yingxiu and clarify the relationship between the two of them!"
Ye Ci looked up at the director quietly and said, "It is perfectly justified for the emperor to favor the palace maids by his side."
What she meant was, why did she need to do it so many times? It wouldn't be of much help to the rest of the story. On the contrary, it would give the audience the illusion that the emperor was fond of beautiful women …
On the side, Lu Chuan laughed out loud. What he could understand. Xie Penghui could naturally understand as well. Xie Penghui could not help but blush — it was a little sour to be pointed out by a little girl. However, Ye Ci did not say it out loud. It could be said that she had worried about his old face. She looked at Ye Ci with a more benevolent gaze. This little palace maid was not bad …
Lu Chuan gave a light cough and said, "Then it won't be added. I don't want it to end up being called 'This emperor is a beast that even the palace maids were not let go of'."
It was only natural for the emperor to sleep with the palace maids, but if this part of the plot was deliberately highlighted in the movie, it wouldn't be good enough to give the audience the most intuitive feeling.
Seeing that there was no hope, Xie Penghui drooped his head and did not say anything for a long time. It wasn't that he was too useless as a director, it was just that the two actors rationally analyzed how many times they had added him, making him feel frustrated to the point that he couldn't vent his anger on them.
Lu Chuan patted Xie Penghui's shoulder, "Old Xie, don't you know that the benefit of paper windows is the kind of hazy beauty that you can't even talk about? If you were to really pierce through it, it would not be beautiful at all. "
When Xie Penghui heard this, he pondered over the effect of the shot and could not help but pat his thigh in joy. "Right! That's right! It has to be hazy and beautiful! The audience will want to know if there is any love between the emperor and the palace maid, and it won't be answered! "Not bad, not bad~"
Thus, Xie Penghui was the best director to coax.
Director Xie's failure to add a role to the show seemed to have become the most popular topic in the film crew that day. Two or three staff members could not help but gather together and mutter to themselves, while 'Ye Ci' became 'popular' in the film crew because of her odd refusal to join the show.
"I heard that the little palace maid who was acting beside Lu Chuan refused to join in on the show?"
"That's right, a girl named Ye Ci is really funny!" "Mother Xie said to add her in, but in the end she seriously said it wasn't appropriate, hahaha ~"
"Amazing, my brother. I didn't think that there would be such an honest girl in the show business today ~"
"Haha, Geng Zhi? You mean her? Stop messing around. Ye Ci is the girl who failed to hold Li Lun's position previously. "
"Then why would she refuse to join in?"
"Who knows, her brain must have spasmed!"
Ye Ci did not know that the rumors about her had already spread throughout the crew. After the performance ended in the afternoon, she directly went to the nearby market. After eating a meal, she felt that it was necessary to consider cooking by herself.
City H was famous for its movie and television cities. The hotel Ye Ci stayed in was also near the movie and television city. If she went to the next restaurant for over a thousand yuan, she could actually go to the market to buy fresh ingredients. Pretty cheap?
After a cursory tour, Ye Ci felt more and more that it was feasible to cook. After returning to the hotel, she immediately ran towards the reception desk.
"Hello, may I ask if I can borrow the kitchen of the hotel? I wonder if it's okay? "
The little girl at the front desk of the hotel obviously encountered this kind of problem frequently, so she replied without looking up, "Sure, just turn right and you'll be there."
"…" said Ye Ci. "
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "I don't mean to just use it now, but to borrow it every day for about a month … "
