"Ahem." Hearing the scriptwriter's words, Director Quentin choked on his tea.
The scriptwriter chuckled, "As Director Quentin just said, we should not be narrow minded. The situation is different now. We should think out of the box."
"What do you mean?"
"Although the leading antagonist of my script is Mr. Black and he is a man, We can also change it to a female role. No one says that a woman can't be an antagonist. Look, so many leaders in the world are women now, and women are also very powerful. " The scriptwriter explained.
"So the setting is going to be changed?"
The scriptwriter didn't answer the producer's question. She turned to Director Quentin and said, "Director, I have had a lot of inspirations after seeing Muriel's performance. Can you give me one more day? I'll write the outline of the script and send it to you in one day! "
"Are you going to make some big changes? No, we can't. the crew can't wait for so many days. " The producer strongly opposed, "It's better to let Muriel play the role of Mr. Black directly, so that time won't be so short."
Director Quentin shook his head and explained, "Although Muriel is a newcomer, her acting was professional. Almost all the scenes have been done in one shot, and only a few emotional scenes have to be shot two or three times, but on the whole, the progress is not slow, but faster."
"But we are also short of money. We will give you a day to write the outline. Once the outline is changed, you have to change the script, right? You can't finish the script in one day, can you? As long as I give you a few days, the progress of the shooting will be delayed. The actors have their own schedules. Are you sure that the schedules of Lindy and Crystal can match us? Do you know how much I will spend on this project? "
The producer grumbled without gasping, and everyone's heart sank.
The scriptwriter lowered her head, wiped her tears and sobbed, "I just want to write a play that I'm satisfied with. I don't want to be so perfunctory."
"Don't cry. It's not perfunctory. Your script is still the same as before. It's just that Muriel plays the role of Mr. Black."
The scriptwriter shook her head and said, "It's different. In the play, Mr. Black is more than forty years old, and Ms. Leopard is in her early twenties. Her age and makeup are not fit that role."
"In that case, we'd better find another suitable actor to play Mr. Black."
Everyone thought that they had reached an agreement, but they didn't expect that they would soon returned to where they had been. They had contemplated hard just now, but they couldn't think of a suitable person.
At this time, Director Quentin's phone rang. He didn't want to answer it, but it was from the agency. He made a gesture to stop the meeting and walked out of the meeting room to answer the phone.
In the meeting room, everyone was irritably browsing micro-blogs. The scriptwriter took a look at the producer, bit her lower lip, and began to write on the notebook, unwilling to give up. The plots in her mind were like a steady stream of water, constantly emerging.
After a while, Director Quentin pushed the door open and said excitedly, "That's great! We are saved!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone craned their necks and asked curiously.
"The XR Group has acquired the Times Culture before. Their first investment to the entertainment circle has been contributed to Storm!"
