I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Su Xing said: "I am not very familiar with Mr. Shen, but I have dealt with him several times."

After a pause, she couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't you talk to him about the casting of the female lead? He's an investor, so he should have a say."

Yu Shengmo hesitated, "Will he listen to my advice?"

Although she is the original author, she is actually not on an equal footing with the investors. Will the other party be willing to listen to her?

Su Xing hesitated for two seconds and said, "Mr. Shen is very easygoing and good to talk to. You can introduce the heroine in the novel to him in detail. Readers who have read the original novel and understand the heroine's character will probably feel that this actress does not quite fit the image of the heroine in the original novel. When the drama is released, it will surely cause dissatisfaction among most of the original fans. As the investor, I think he certainly doesn't want the drama to flop."

Yu Shengmo nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I should give it a try to see if I can replace the female lead."

If the role change is successful, there will be fewer regrets.

Even if she fails in the end, it will just maintain the status quo. She has already received the copyright fees, so there is no loss.

When Su Xing saw that Yu Shengmo took her words to heart, she silently wished that the cast change in the drama would be a success.

The two hit it off right away and got along better and better the more they talked.

After dinner, they left the restaurant and found a cafe nearby to sit for a while.

Coming out of the coffee shop, Su Xing said, "Let me take you back to the hotel."

Yu Shengmo smiled and refused, "You don't have to send me off. This place is not far from the hotel where I live. You should go back to school. It's getting late."

Su Xing didn't insist any more and nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving now."

"Goodbye, we'll meet again sometime."

"OK, bye."

The two separated.

Yu Shengmo took a taxi back to the hotel.

Su Xing prepared to take the subway back to school.

She had just walked for a while when a Maybach passed by her, suddenly slowed down, and then the window was lowered.

"Miss Su, are you going back to school? I'll take you there."

Su Xing turned his head and saw that it was Shen Bai again.

She waved her hand, "No thanks, I'll just take the subway back."

Shen Bai added: "I'm just going to Xueyuan Road, it's on my way."

There were no cars behind him at the moment, so he was not in a hurry.

Su Xing hesitated for a while, but still got in the car.

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."

She thanked him while fastening her seat belt.

Shen Bai smiled, "It's just a small matter, you're welcome."

He was going to find Cao Yang to get something, and it was really on his way, otherwise he wouldn't have called her.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Shen Bai found a topic to talk to Su Xing.

"Are you familiar with Miss Yu?"

Su Xing said vaguely: "Well...we have a good relationship."

She didn't need to explain her relationship with Yu Shengmo to Shen Bai too clearly, as that would be too superficial.

Shen Bai didn't care. He was just looking for a topic. "Ms. Yu's books are all very popular. Now it's popular to adapt novel IPs into movies and TV series. Her books should be good if they are made into TV series."

Su Xing felt that this topic was exactly what she wanted. The reason she got on the car was that she was planning to find an opportunity to talk about the casting of "Feng Shang".

At this moment, she took this opportunity to say, "I heard from her that the copyright of the novel "Phoenix" has been sold, and the drama will start filming soon, but... I don't think the female lead quite fits the character of the heroine in the book."

"Really?"

Su Xing did not point out that she knew Shen Bai was one of the investors of this drama. She just talked about her views on the female lead character from a reader's perspective and tried to be as objective as possible.

After listening to Su Xing, Shen Bai suddenly asked, "Don't you like that actress?"

"Uh... not really, I just think her image doesn't quite fit the original heroine."

Su Xing thought: This Mr. Shen is quite perceptive.

In fact, she has no good feelings towards any artist with a bad record.

When they arrived near Kyoto University, Su Xing prepared to get off the bus.

"Thank you Mr. Shen for sending me back."

"I told you you're welcome, come in."

"Goodbye."

"bye."

……

Yu Shengmo did take Su Xing’s words to heart.

After she returned to the hotel, she hurried to write a report, listing in detail the physical features, personality, and image of the heroine in the original novel as seen by other characters.

In addition, there are some highlights from the original text that reflect the heroine's character, and she also captured some of them.

A brief biography of the character is also summarized.

It's simple and clear, and you can tell at a glance that the actress doesn't look like the heroine in the original novel.

In fact, after the role was decided, she mentioned the issue of the female lead being unsuitable to the casting director.

At that time, the director just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously at all.

She didn't plan to communicate with the casting director again this time.

Yu Shengmo didn’t have Shen Bai’s WeChat, only a business card.

She took out the business card and looked at it, then searched the WeChat account on the business card and found that it was a work number.

This kind of work number may not be used by him personally, right?

Yu Shengmo looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. It was so late, so he should not disturb others.

It was around nine o'clock the next morning.

Yu Shengmo dialed the number on Shen Bai's business card.

"Hello, who are you?"

A young male voice also answered the phone, but Yu Shengmo could tell that it was not Shen Bai's voice.

She wasn't surprised.

"Hello, my name is Yu Shengmo, and I'm Moshang, the original author of "Feng Shang". I'm looking for Mr. Shen Baishen, and I want to talk to him about the drama he invested in."

"Ms. Yu, please wait a moment."

"Ok."

After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone again, "Hello? Miss Yu, are you looking for me?"

This time it was Shen Bai's voice.

Yu Shengmo explained his intention as briefly as possible, "Hello Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to bother you. The thing is, I have some opinions about the casting of the heroine of the drama "Feng Shang". I wrote a report. Would you mind taking a look?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Yu Shengmo's heart was lifted up.

"Okay, send it to the email address on the business card. I'll take a look."

"Okay, I'll send it to you now."

After the two hung up the phone, Yu Shengmo immediately opened his computer to send an email.

Shen Bai asked his assistant to print out the email and give it to him after receiving it.

He carefully read the report written by Yu Shengmo, and suddenly said to his assistant: "Go and ask someone to check this actress."

The assistant responded and went out.

Shen Bai picked up the report again, looked at it, and then put it aside.

He feels that whether an actor fits the role or not depends on his acting skills. Even if there is some difference between the actor's appearance and the role, a talented actor can use his acting skills to make up for and narrow the difference.

He didn't know the female lead and didn't know how her acting was.

However, the reason why both Su Xing and Yu Shengmo dislike this actor may be more than just that the actor does not fit the role?

He also doesn't want the actors to make any principled mistakes in private, which would ruin the show.

The purpose of investing is to make money, and no one wants to see the money they spend go down the drain.

Five days later.

Yu Shengmo suddenly received news from the production team that the female lead had been recast!
