Isn't Chapter 637 a story about a strong female lead?
What do you mean by "original male lead"? Isn't this a drama with a so-called "female lead" theme?
Yan Siqiong and Ye Sanqing had previously complained about this, namely that the original plot was inconsistent with the version that Ye Wanyin and the others had modified.
Ye Sanqing glanced at the original novel at the time, and could only say that they were completely different...
It didn't come to that, but the novel did originally have a male protagonist, and he was definitely not some greasy demon lord.
She's supposed to represent the perspective of an ordinary person. And her relationship with the female lead, played by Ye Wanyin, is one of mutual support and understanding.
Previously, Ye Wanyin's publicity campaign seemed to focus only on promoting the female lead and the Demon Lord, and Ye Sanqing thought that the original male lead's character had been deleted.
[He's the male protagonist from the novel, and he's retained in the drama, but changed to a supporting character, essentially a devoted follower of the female lead. He's a complete clown.]
Lin Mo sent a link and added, "[The actor's name is Mo Siyu; this is his information.]"
Ye Sanqing clicked on it and took a look.
According to the information, Mo Siyu is currently 26 years old. She graduated from the same school as the original owner of this body, so he can be considered her senior.
Upon seeing this, Ye Sanqing knew that the person was probably feeling unappreciated despite their talents.
After all, the school's system is very strict, and those who can graduate must at least have passed the basic skills test.
However, school is different from society. Being excellent in school and what kind of role you can get after graduation depends to a large extent not on your ability but on your luck.
After all, when everyone's abilities are roughly the same, it all comes down to luck.
Past roles played...
It's quite positive. In his first role, he played a supporting character in a military ensemble drama, and in his second role, he played an optimistic character in an urban sitcom.
Both of these are TV series with long production cycles, which are more in line with popular tastes and portray positive characters.
Then there were two more movies. One of them received relatively mediocre reviews. It was the lead role in a co-production commercial film, barely making it to the edge of three stars.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Actors often can't guarantee that they won't be in bad movies; there are too many factors that influence this.
But there are only bad movies, not bad characters.
Another film is a bit niche, a psychological thriller. It's relatively obscure and difficult to understand, so the market isn't large, but the word-of-mouth is decent.
Then there weren't any endorsements, except for one carbonated beverage commercial during the sitcom era, which I think was appropriate for my image at the time.
At first glance, Mo Siyu seems to cherish her reputation. She has filmed four movies in four years since graduation, which is neither a lot nor a little, and can be considered a very stable and promising career path.
As for the company, Ye Sanqing also looked it up. It was a small company with a dozen or so people, and it seemed to be focused on quality.
Mos has been tricked.
Following his career path, he has previously starred in modern or period dramas, and he definitely needs a period drama to enrich his resume.
With his qualifications, it's perfectly reasonable for him to play the male lead in a fantasy drama.
To be honest... Ye Wanyin's drama was really poorly made. If it was just a comedic, ugly role, then Mo Siyu probably wouldn't have auditioned for it.
And he definitely wants to be the protagonist.
Otherwise, he would probably have auditioned for The Phoenix's Cry, since the casting times for these two dramas overlapped.
There is no male lead on Ye Sanqing's side, while Gu Lin and others are basically acting in order to find a way out of the predicament, which is basically a way of lowering their status.
He's really unlucky.
She replied to Lin Mo.
This was the first time she had heard about this, because although she knew that Ye Wanyin had drastically altered the script and that Lu Wangqian had no experience and was just playing the Demon Lord to show off their love, even adding scenes for himself, it was already outrageous enough.
I never imagined they could do something even more outrageous.
After all, Ye Sanqing hadn't paid much attention to Ye Wanyin's acting before, at most glancing at her on Weibo. She didn't know about the specific role and screen time arrangements.
[Sigh, not only is their billing order now below fifth place...it completely changes the meaning, and the compensation is different too.]
Since Lin Mo was already Ye Sanqing's informant, she spoke very directly.
Her access to information was limited; it consisted only of snippets of news heard and seen within the production crew. Filtering out valuable information to share with Ye Sanqing was quite difficult.
In Lin Mo's opinion, this fantasy drama has no male lead.
The Demon Lord is definitely not the male lead, and anyone with eyes can see the extent of this over-extension.
Lin Mo had never read the original book before; to her, this was just a minor character, and there was absolutely no need for her to read the book about it.
Anyway, she just needs to finish the contract period and that's it. She was forced to be used as a pawn by Ye Wanyin before, which was something she couldn't help.
One day, she overheard other people talking, saying that Mosyu was in a very bad mood that day, and had even ruined his costume and had to pay for it.
Then Lin Mo took it to heart. After all, Mo Siyu's character was just Ye Wanyin's follower at first glance, so why should she be in a bad mood?
Just adopt the attitude of a working person going to work, isn't that enough?
So she inquired around and found out that the costume wasn't damaged by Mosyu at all.
That scene was a confrontation between the Demon Lord and the Fairy. Of course, the atmosphere was tense and the scene was also very ominous, after all, it concerned the lives of all people.
Then, Lu Wangqian and Ye Wanyin's performance turned into a greasy display of affection, and Mo Siyu also suffered.
Because the fight must begin before the subsequent conversation can proceed.
In fantasy dramas, the fight scenes don't require real kung fu; all that's needed is for the characters to fly around on wires.
In other words, all the actors need to do is wave their hands and create some colorful effects... Of course, in this production, it should be a cheap special effect, that's all.
As a result, for some reason, Lu Wangqian managed to throw things at Mo Siyu, who was protecting Ye Wanyin, every time he waved his hand.
It's either a sword tassel or the corner of a garment.
That's fine, it won't cause any harm.
However, Lu Wangqian said that this method of fighting was not effective and that physical props should be used.
He tried it a couple of times but wasn't satisfied, so he gave up.
The costumes in the Mos language were also torn open during this process.
According to the plot, he was supposed to protect the female lead with his life after he was exhausted, rather than fighting the Demon Lord in a back-and-forth manner.
Therefore, you cannot fight back.
Lin Mo knew immediately that Lu Wangqian was jealous and was trying to act domineeringly protective of his wife, or something like "If you look at my woman, I'll gouge your eyes out"—that kind of illogical thinking.
Moss didn't speak at all that day, just going over the script again and again.
When he got back and heard that not only was he beaten, but he was also liable for the damage to his costume, he was devastated.
Lin Mo learned about this from the actor who lived next door, who said he heard two very pitiful cries, but they didn't want to get involved, so they didn't ask.
Besides, who knows if they're just rehearsing?
However, news of Lu Wangqian bullying the actors also spread within the crew, but because of the strict confidentiality agreement, no one spoke out about it.
