"Hey, don't worry. If that woman dares to bully you, I'll be the first to take her on!"
After saying that, Fu Geyue actually rolled up the sleeves of her arms, looking ready for a fight.
Feng Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly grabbed Fu Geyue. "Geyue, you're so good to me."
"Of course!" Fu Geyue replied boldly.
"Still not made up with Brother Muli?" Feng Yu asked again.
Hearing the name Muli, a hint of disappointment flashed in Fu Geyue's eyes. Her face paled a bit, and she hesitated to speak.
"Agent Fu, I'm about to start working." Knowing that Fu Geyue didn't want to talk about her relationship with Muli, Feng Yu didn't want to force her. So she took the initiative to change the subject.
Only then did Fu Geyue smile again. "Work hard, big star. I'm counting on you, my cash cow, to help me find a rare and precious thing."
Feng Yu looked at her indulgently and showed her cute little tiger teeth. "Okay, I'll support you."
"Miss Feng, we're about to start the first take of the next scene..." A staff member walked up to them and reminded.
Feng Yu nodded and followed the staff member to the camera, getting ready for the shooting of this scene.
*The Light of Enlightenment* was adapted from a novel. Adding a new character directly to the script might cause an uproar among the original fans.
Yang Mulian wanted popularity, funding, and a good reputation. Under these three conditions, he decided to promote an important but minor character from the original novel, the policewoman in the police force.
Although this character only appeared in the extras, she was quite popular among the original fans, so they were likely to accept this change.
So Feng Yayin, who joined the cast halfway, got the role of this policewoman and participated in the current shooting.
When Feng Yayin changed into her police uniform and was about to start the scene with Lu Zhiqian, Lu Zhiqian coldly suggested, "I don't think two people are needed for this scene. I can handle it alone."
"But..." Yang Mulian looked a bit embarrassed.
Lu Zhiqian curled his lips. "Is a suspense drama going to be turned into a romance just because one person joined the cast?"
Everyone was shocked by Lu Zhiqian's words.
It was a well - known fact that Feng Yayin joined the cast with funding, but no one dared to say it so bluntly.
"This..."
Yang Mulian naturally didn't want to offend Lu Zhiqian for Feng Yayin's sake. He quickly changed his tune. "Yayin, we'll cut this scene. I'll adjust your scenes later."
Before Feng Yayin could respond, Lu Zhiqian picked up the revised script and flipped through it casually. "In the extras, although the policewoman has a crush on the police chief, the chief has no feelings for her. Cut all the unnecessary romantic scenes between me and her. The focus should be on the plot."
He closed the script seriously. "Reputation comes first. Director Yang, don't you think I'm right?"
If the unnecessary romantic scenes were cut, Feng Yayin's scenes would be pitifully few!
Why was it said to be a drama with two leading female characters after the revision? Because the romantic scenes between Feng Yayin and Lu Zhiqian were about the same as those between Feng Yu and Lu Zhiqian.
If they followed Lu Zhiqian's suggestion...
Feng Yayin would become an empty - shell leading actress!
"Indeed."
Feng Yu echoed Lu Zhiqian. "Director Yang, there wasn't much of a romantic plot in the original *The Light of Enlightenment*. It should focus on the cause."
Seeing Feng Yu take advantage of this opportunity to step on her, Feng Yayin gritted her teeth in anger. She almost forgot her kind and gentle persona. "Feng... Xiaoyu!"
Feng Yu looked at Feng Yayin with a scared face. "S, Sister Yayin, did I say something wrong? I'm, I'm sorry. I'll take back my words right away."
"You—" Feng Yayin's face turned red with anger.
It was clearly this bitch who took advantage of Lu Zhiqian to cut her scenes. Why did she look like the aggressive one?
"Okay." Yang Mulian seriously considered Lu Zhiqian's words.
Indeed, if they forced scenes for Feng Yayin, it might lead to a collapse of the reputation, which would be a loss.
He was counting on this drama to win the Best Director Award.
Yang Mulian waved his hand and made a decisive decision. "Let's cut this scene for now. It'll still be the leading actress following the leading actor to solve the case."
"Yes!" Feng Yu replied calmly.
Next, all of Feng Yayin's original scenes were gradually cut. She only played a minor role, and the following scenes were all about Feng Yu and Lu Zhiqian solving the case.
So it was a sure - thing for this to be on the hot search today.
It was Lu Zhiqian's fans who got this hot search for Feng Yu.
#Focusing on the Cause Whole - Heartedly# with stills of Feng Yu and Lu Zhiqian seriously working on the case attached.
Lu Zhiqian's female fans cried. They flocked to Feng Yu's Weibo to express their gratitude. Lu Zhiqian's female fans turned into career fans of the Yu - Lu CP, and this career - oriented CP became popular!
In Feng Yu's dressing room, Feng Yayin saw this hot search. She angrily threw her phone on the ground and pointed at her assistant and scolded, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and touch up my makeup!"
"But there's only one minute of your scene in two hours. If you touch up your makeup now, you'll have to do it again later..."
"Do you dare to mock me?" Feng Yayin gritted her teeth in anger and picked up the cosmetics on the table and threw them at her assistant's face.
The assistant's face was bruised, but she didn't seem to feel the pain. She lowered her head and said, "Sister Yayin, I, I didn't mean to. I'll touch up your makeup right away."
Feng Yayin ordered, "Go buy milk tea for everyone in the crew! Make sure it's delivered when I'm shooting!"
The assistant stood there stunned.
There were more than a hundred staff members in the *The Light of Enlightenment* crew. How could she buy more than a hundred cups of milk tea in two hours?
"Hurry up!" Feng Yayin sneered.
Afraid of offending Feng Yayin, the assistant immediately put down the cosmetics and ran out.
Buying milk tea for the whole crew was definitely a kind, enthusiastic, and considerate act that would make it onto the hot search! Thinking that she would soon appear on the hot - search list, a smug smile curled up on Feng Yayin's lips.
Suddenly, her phone rang. As soon as she answered it—
The person on the other end angrily blamed her. "Feng Yayin! I spent so much money on you, not to watch you play a minor role in the crew. What did I tell you? Suppress Feng Yu, suppress Feng Yu! But what have you done? You've just given her popularity as soon as you joined the cast?"
"I..." Feng Yayin was stunned by the scolding.
The person on the other end continued, "I'm telling you, the investment money I've given you can be withdrawn at any time. Then you'll be kicked out of the crew!"
"How can you treat me like this? After all, I'm still..."
The person on the other end sneered. "Do you still think you're the once - popular Queen Feng in the entertainment industry? Your current popularity and heat are not even comparable to Feng Yu's! Humph, if you keep being so useless, don't blame me for being heartless!"
