In the dungeon where the eldest sister and the second brother of the Huo family were being held, the guards were all elites under Huo Cheng's command. Most importantly, they were absolutely loyal to him.
Huo Cheng believed that in that dungeon, no matter what the two of them tried to do, they would never be able to escape.
What Huo Cheng didn't expect was that even more unexpected things were waiting for him in the future.
In the dungeon, the eldest sister of the Huo family was scolding loudly, while the second brother stood beside her impatiently, looking at her.
"Come on, come on. Can you stop scolding? It gives me a headache just listening to you."
The second brother of the Huo family finally couldn't stand his elder sister anymore. Although she was scolding what he wanted to say, it still got annoying after hearing it too many times.
"What's it to you? You're not happy that I'm scolding Huo Cheng?" the eldest sister retorted.
"Who said I'm not happy? Eldest sister, you know that's not what I meant," the second brother of the Huo family could never stand up to his elder sister's fiery temper.
"How much longer do we have to stay here? This dungeon is so damp and gloomy. It's terrible!" the eldest sister of the Huo family said, looking around at the damp and shabby environment in disgust.
"Eldest sister, just be patient a little longer. Once this plan succeeds, Huo Cheng won't be able to defend himself. When father and mother completely lose trust in him, our chance will come," the second brother of the Huo family comforted her.
Hearing her younger brother's words, the eldest sister of the Huo family gradually calmed down.
Soon, the weekend was over. Gu Sisi had spent two days at home with the baby and finally had to start working again.
Gu Chenfei had signed the contract so quickly, which undoubtedly cleared a major obstacle for Gu Sisi. Originally, Gu Sisi thought this task would take a long time and she only had a slim hope.
Who would have thought that Gu Chenfei would be so straightforward and sign the contract so quickly? All the deliberate difficulties she had expected didn't happen at all. It gave her the feeling that Gu Chenfei just wanted to meet her.
This was really strange...
But Gu Sisi didn't want to think about it too much. Thinking too much would only give her a headache. Since the script was already in her hands, she had to work hard. She was fully responsible for writing the script for this drama.
For a moment, she felt very excited. It was both full of pressure and motivation.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Gu Sisi quickly immersed herself in her work. She had previously told her superior that she had signed a contract with the original author. Her superior assigned some people to assist her, but she was still the main person in charge.
Gu Sisi agreed. After all, it would be much more convenient for her to have these people help her. Moreover, her contact with Gu Chenfei made her feel very embarrassed. There were still many follow - up issues that hadn't been settled with Gu Chenfei, but this was an essential procedure.
With someone to assist her, she could hand this part of the work over to them.
Gu Sisi focused on organizing the manuscript and decided to draw up an outline first to arrange the whole main plot. This was not an easy job, and Gu Sisi was busy for a long time.
Besides this, Gu Sisi also had to consider the selection of the male and female leads. For the male lead, Gu Sisi had already made up her mind. Ouyang Xin had told her before that he wanted to be the male lead in one of her dramas.
Just in time, the opportunity had come.
The male lead in this drama was the kind of elegant and refined type, which was very much in line with Ouyang Xin's temperament. Gu Sisi had initially set him as the male lead. It just depended on whether Ouyang Xin's schedule would allow it.
Thinking of this, Gu Sisi immediately sent someone to inquire about Ouyang Xin's side. She almost forgot.
Ouyang Xin was very popular. If he participated in this drama, it would surely add luster to it. Maybe it could even save a lot of pre - publicity. As long as Ouyang Xin's name was mentioned, there would surely be many audiences.
Gu Sisi thought like this, full of longing in her heart.
Next, she had to consider the female lead. As the screenwriter, Gu Sisi would surely participate in the selection of the female lead. The female lead was the most important in this drama. If the female lead was not well - chosen...
Even if the male lead was Ouyang Xin, it wouldn't help. The female lead in this drama had a tough and brave side, as well as a cute and charming side.
This not only required the actress to be gentle but also to have strength in her gentleness. Moreover, since the female lead was a modern girl who had time - traveled to the past and was still quite young, she was also a bit mischievous.
As the story developed, the female lead time - traveled from modern times to an era that didn't exist in history. She learned bit by bit there and then strengthened herself. So the female lead must not be the kind of weak and silly "dumb white sweet".
In the original novel, the female lead had even served as a female general for a while, leading the troops to turn defeat into victory. She was truly a heroic woman.
Before becoming a general, the female lead was a concubine of the king. She was extremely smart and had worked her way up from an unknown little maid to the position of noble concubine, defeating countless "green tea bitches" on the way.
Later, when the country was in crisis, she became a general and went into battle in armor. At first, the soldiers in the army didn't accept her, but the female lead took a series of measures to establish her prestige. Fortunately, the soldiers in the army only respected strength.
After leading the army to a great victory, the female lead refused the king and didn't stay in the palace or interfere in the government affairs.
She asked the king for a favor and lived in seclusion in the city, leading a carefree life. It was rumored that later the female lead was unmatched in poetry and gambling, a free - spirited person like Li Qingzhao.
Speaking of such a person, it was indeed only possible in a novel. No wonder the fans of the original novel all highly praised the female lead. After reading the novel, Gu Sisi also liked the female lead the most.
She had all the beautiful aspects of a woman. Her valiant and heroic appearance was invincible. It was probably that everyone wanted to be as free - spirited as her.
But this undoubtedly posed a difficult problem for Gu Sisi. It was really hard to find an actress who could fit this image.
The selection of actors would greatly affect the final presentation effect. Different actors had different understandings of the characters, so the performances would naturally be different.
Similarly, it was also very important whether the actor's own temperament could blend well with the character's. If there was a big difference between the actor's appearance and temperament and the character's, the final presentation effect would also be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the actress should also match Ouyang Xin's temperament. Otherwise, if the male and female leads didn't match in temperament, how could they play a good CP?
Gu Sisi scanned the entertainment circle but really didn't know who was suitable. For a moment, she had a headache. She could only pay more attention when choosing the female lead.
Thinking of this, Gu Sisi couldn't help but think of the painful experience of choosing Liao Qingzi as the female lead last time. She really didn't want to go through that again.
Just thinking about the things that happened when Liao's father and Liao Qingzi came to her home last time, arguing and scolding, made Gu Sisi's head hurt even more.
So experience taught her that this time she must be extremely careful when choosing the female lead.
Gu Sisi also thought of the drama she participated in last time. When she thought of Ouyang Xin, she also thought of Wen Meiling.
That always - arrogant woman had offended the master at that time. As the second female lead, Wen Meiling had fewer scenes than the third and fourth female leads.
She thought that although they were both childhood sweethearts, how could Wen Meiling be so different from Gu Chenfei?
