She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

The talent show that Shen Weiwei debuted in as the center was exclusively produced by Kiwi Video, so her agency contract was signed with the platform from the beginning. It was not until she fell in love with Cheng Jialang that the contract was registered with the company under his name.

Later, the two broke up and she had to terminate the contract and joined another small, unknown company. Not only could she not get any roles, but she was also cheated out of a large sum of money by the company's contract. Since then, she has been wasting time ever since.

The reason why Hengsheng Pictures chose to sign Shen Weiwei at this time was, on the one hand, because she recommended herself repeatedly, and on the other hand, because they saw her acting potential.

Hengsheng Pictures is a company whose main business is artist management and project development. If it wants to develop in the long run, the more money-making artists it has, the better.

Regarding Shen Weiwei's signing, Su Lingxi was not very clear about the specific process, nor did she care.

According to fans' understanding, if the company signs a new person, it will inevitably divert manpower and resources to support other people, and the good resources at hand are destined not to be tilted towards her alone.

But Su Lingxi didn't think that Shen Weiwei alone could affect her current position in the company.

The company has signed newcomers before, He Sui and Qi Zhitong. Both of them have good qualifications and have developed well in idol drama themes. They can be regarded as well-known stars waiting to become popular.

The two of them are not in the same field as her, nor do they have the same agent as her. Although they are in the same company, they have basically no intersection behind the scenes, and the agency teams also maintain a state of not disturbing each other, so the impact on her is almost zero.

Furthermore, as a "veteran-level" artist of the company and a "confidant" cultivated by the two bosses, Su Lingxi has a clear self-awareness - Eva now obviously wants to use the entire company's strength to make her a true international movie star, and both the agency team and fashion resources will be given to her with the most core and top-level configurations and resources.

Even if Shen Weiwei signed with Hengsheng, it would be impossible for Yang Qian to take care of her personally. The teacher and Eva are busy with the film distribution recently and probably have no time to ask about it.

So, for Su Lingxi, it was just a new colleague from a different department and there was nothing to worry about.

"As for my opinion... I think the teacher has a good vision." Su Lingxi smiled and changed the subject silently. "Although Shen Weiwei's acting skills are somewhat limited, she is very suitable for the role of Ah Shu. If the director and screenwriter can perform normally, her career should be able to reach a higher level after the show "Spring Tree and Evening Cloud" is broadcast."

Guessing that she didn't want to continue the previous topic, Yang Qian didn't ask any more questions. "I remember that Teacher Shu Wan seemed to be both the screenwriter and assistant director of this project. With her here, at least we don't have to worry about deviating from the original work."

The problem of making magical changes to the original work is almost always seen in many TV series adapted from big IPs. Even if the producers spend a lot of money to buy the copyright in order to take advantage of the popularity of the IP, they will still adapt the script for various reasons in the end, weakening the character of the protagonist, adding original characters, and giving supporting roles endless screen time... Various problems have long been common.

Although Su Lingxi has a high status in the circle, she has only starred in one TV series so far. No matter how popular "Player Self-Help Guide" is, the industry still remains skeptical about her ability to carry a drama, which leads to her not having much say in S+ big projects such as "Spring Trees and Evening Clouds".

The only thing to be thankful for is that Shu Wan, as a screenwriter and assistant director, not only has a lot of say in the crew, but is also quite satisfied with her acting skills, and can to some extent ensure that the script is not changed. For the S+ crew, such a key figure who can control the whole situation from top to bottom is equivalent to a magic needle that can hold the situation in check and prevent the project from getting out of control in time.

And Shu Wan did not disappoint Su Lingxi's expectations. During the first script reading, she pointed out the problems found during the project's progress in a strong manner.

"Now that we have all the funds, time and equipment, we must figure out in advance what kind of TV series do we all want to make with Spring Trees and Evening Clouds?" Shu Wan casually closed the biographies in her hand, glanced at the other people in the meeting room, and got straight to the point. "It is definitely not feasible to copy the novel completely. The number of TV series is now limited to 40 episodes. If we want to tell the story completely, we can only cut some side plots and then refine the plot."

"We can extend the length of each episode to 50 minutes, and speed up the narrative rhythm to ensure that the story is told within 40 episodes." Director Song Ping also echoed, and it can be seen that he agrees with Shu Wan's point of view. "Of course, the plot must be faithful to the original. How to express the protagonist's complex state of mind and emotions through film and television is the first challenge to adapt the script."

"The life of Shu and Yun in the 80s needs to be presented to the audience in a realistic way. We can solve this problem through real-life shooting. There are many blank spaces in the book for readers to imagine. In this regard, we can use the language of the camera to show the disorder, chaos, hardship and darkness of Xiyuan Town from a third-person perspective..."

As the winner of last year's Feitian Awards for Best Director, Song Ping spoke about these issues with great eloquence, using all kinds of professional terms at will, and his tone was filled with irrepressible excitement.

Although he is already a senior director in the industry, it is still a rare opportunity for him to have the chance to shoot such a work.

Song Ping spoke a long and eloquent speech. Shu Wan was still smiling at first, but when she heard the last sentence, the smile disappeared from her face.

"Director Song, I think we should invite professional child actors to act in the first few scenes. The childhoods of Ashu and Ayun are intertwined and parallel. Everything that happened in their childhood is the cornerstone of their friendship and none of them can be missing. We can neither omit nor skip the plot of this period, nor can we let Lingxi and Xiaowei play two little children. It would be better to find two professional child actors to act, which will surely be more conducive to the audience's viewing experience." Shu Wan gave her suggestion after pondering.

"This..." Song Ping hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Lingxi, "Xiao Su, do you think we need to select two more young actors to join the group?"

Su Lingxi knew that the reason why Song Ping was concerned about Shu Wan's proposal was actually because of the issue of the proportion of roles.

In the original novel of "Spring Trees and Evening Clouds", nearly one-eighth of the content is related to the childhood of two people. If we find child actors to shoot this part specifically, it is very likely that the childhood part will occupy too much space and thus overshadow the main plot.
