He had been tossing and turning since he got out of bed, without a wink of sleep. He skipped breakfast and headed straight to the company.
As soon as he got to the company, before he even entered his office, he instructed the secretary who hadn’t had the chance to say hello, “Get me on the phone with the person in charge at TS Entertainment Company.”
“Yes, Mr. Liang.”
Liang Chen made no reaction, went straight into his office, picked up the phone on his desk and, without waiting for the executive at TS Entertainment Company to speak, he asked, “In the TV series adapted from a popular online novel recently produced by our company, the female side character is played by Jing Haohao. How much more of her scenes are remaining?”
“Mr. Liang, generally, the scenes of the side characters are usually shot ahead. Right now, the scenes mainly being shot are those featuring the protagonist. If there are enough scenes featuring the protagonist, the side characters might not appear in the rest of the series.”
Liang Chen furrowed his brows and said, “Notify the director and screenwriter of the series immediately to adjust the script. I want Jing Haohao’s screen time to be increased in the remaining scenes.”
“But…”
“Is there a problem?”
“There’s no problem, but, it may require reducing the female protagonist’s screen time.”
“Then reduce the female protagonist’s screen time.”
“But, the lead actress has investors behind her. The contract we signed had stipulated this, we can’t cut any of her scenes.”
Liang Chen chuckled, as if he had heard a joke, and said, “For a show that features my woman, it is not up to others to finance it. Regardless of how you do it, start revising the script immediately. I want to know, as soon as possible, when Jing Haohao will join the troupe to film, or else, not only will you not be able to stay at TS Entertainment company, that TV series also won’t be broadcast.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Liang, I’ll get on it right away.”
“Wait a moment…”
“Mr. Liang, do you have other instructions?”
“Don’t tell the crew members that this was my order.”
“I understand, I understand. I’ll just say it’s an order ‘from above’. As for who this ‘above’ is, let them guess.”
…
The role that Jing Haohao took a while ago was a supporting female character. However, towards the end, her screentime became pitifully short. She was already thinking of leaving with Shen Liangnian. Most of the remaining screentime was for the lead characters. Even if the film crew couldn’t contact her later, they would likely adjust the script and transfer her scenes to another character.
However, she never expected to receive a call the next day from the film crew while she was catching up on her sleep after staying awake all night. They informed her to come to the filming set tomorrow. Moreover, they emphatically stressed that her screentime in the remaining scenes was substantial and she must come.
Jing Haohao was a bit surprised as she put down the phone, not understanding why she, being just a minor supporting female character, suddenly had so many more scenes.
Just as she was puzzled, Nanny Lin suddenly came upstairs with a file, “Miss Jing, we just received this urgent document for you.”
Bewildered, Jing Haohao sat up, received the document, opened it, and found to her surprise that it was a script.
Nanny Lin stood by, silently observing everything and left the bedroom promptly to report everything to Liang Chen over a phone call.
Liang Chen had been in his office all morning, unable to concentrate on his work, just waiting for Nanny Lin’s call.
