Chapter 28 The prototype of the monster Dada turned out to be her. A new week "Ultraman" crew has started a new busy period. The top-level funding allocation for episodes 26 and 27 also brought rich returns to the crew. Not only did the Star Channel's ratings break through 2%, but toy sales also reached million in half a day, and there was even a strong upward trend. Shen Ming looked at the soaring curve chart on the computer, and a hint of joy unconsciously appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. At this moment, Wen Ying, who was in charge of script production, suddenly walked towards Shen Ming with a menacing look. It looked like she was here to collect debts. Joanna, who was busy with a pile of bills, was one step ahead and stopped Shen Ming before he noticed Wen Ying. "Wen Ying, the filming is about to start. Have you finished your part of the script?" Wen Ying is a typical southern girl, petite and softly spoken. Everyone in the crew likes dealing with her. Joanna is no exception, but she thinks Shen Ming is the exception. Especially since Wen Ying recently changed her hairstyle, could she be trying to flirt with Director Shen? Joanna defended her love to the death.
Even if your love rival is a friend. Before she succeeds, she must nip in the bud all signs of ambiguity around Director Shen! Unexpectedly, Wen Ying shouted across Joanna: "Director Shen, I think the monster in episode 28 should be changed." Shen Ming, whose attention was drawn, saw Wen Ying, and his eyelids suddenly twitched, and he had a bad premonition. "Well, I know you may have some opinions about this design." Shen Ming immediately explained, "But at that time, it was really just a sudden inspiration that came to me, and I completed it in one go, you understand?" Wen Ying was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. "Then Director Shen, you can't draw me in there, right? My hair was ruined and the barber shop won't compensate me, and you're making things worse!" Wen Ying has very hard hair and a lot of it. She originally wanted to follow the trend of getting an internet celebrity mushroom head after receiving her salary, but she ended up with a mushroom that spewed spores. Not only did her hair explode, but her mood did too. Now Shen Ming felt even more embarrassed. "It was really just a thought that flashed through my mind at the time. How about I give you the modeling fee?" When Wen Ying heard about the money, her expression became better. "Then Director Shen, please give me more comments to comfort my wounded heart." After seeing Wen Ying off, Shen Ming still felt a chill on his back. It turned out that Joanna was staring at him with a resentful look on her face. "Brother, you actually designed a role for her. You didn't even give me a chance to play your role." Shen Ming was speechless. "It's just that her hairstyle provided some inspiration for the monster design. It's not a design at all." Joanna covered her ears and acted like a scoundrel, "I won't listen! Unless you draw a monster like me, brother." She also wants to have what others have. If she works harder, she will get what others don't have sooner or later. Shen Ming had no experience in dealing with girls, so he could only stare at Joanna's face and examine it carefully for a while, but he couldn't see any similarities between her and the monster. Why does a good 18-year-old girl want to be a monster? Joanna blushed a little at Shen Ming's focused gaze. She was questioning whether she was being unreasonable when she suddenly heard Shen Ming say, "It's not impossible to give you a role, but I don't know if you are willing to make some sacrifices?"
sacrifice??!! The blush on Joanna's cheeks immediately spread to her entire face and neck. She looked up and down, not daring to look at Shen Ming. She bit her lip and whispered, "Brother, isn't this bad? It's a bit unfair to others." Shen Ming asked in confusion: "It's just a haircut to see if it fits the role. Is that too much to ask? I wanted to introduce you to a barbershop I know so we can discuss the hairstyle together." But thinking about how Wen Ying was so angry about her hairstyle, Shen Ming suddenly understood a little. A girl's hair is really a treasure. "It's okay. It's not a mandatory requirement. It's the same even if you wear a wig. Anyway, we audition first and then decide on the role." Shen Ming was about to put the barber shop's business card back into the drawer when it was snatched away. "I'm willing to die!!" Joanna was embarrassed and angry. She glared at Shen Ming, snatched the business card and ran away like the wind. Shen Ming was left alone in the mess. So are you willing or not? She wouldn't come back to settle the score with him like Wen Ying did, right? Jin Cheng, who happened to come to see Shen Ming, was bumped by Joanna at the door and stumbled. His newly bought leather shoes were also stepped on, causing him to wipe them for a long time in pain. Jin Cheng hopped into Shen Ming's temporary office and asked in confusion, "Did you feed Joanna gunpowder? She was like a firecracker, stepping on me and glaring at me." "We wanted her to cut her hair short to fit the role. Maybe she was angry because of this?" Shen Ming was not sure and asked Jin Cheng the purpose of his special trip. Seeing Shen Ming's natural expression and thinking about Joanna's blushing face just now, Jin Cheng guessed most of the situation. Joanna is interested in Shen Ming, and the entire crew sees it. Even a otaku like Jin Cheng saw it, but Shen Ming, an insider, couldn't understand it. They were also happy to watch the show. Sun Rui even made a bet with his colleagues in the crew that Shen Ming would take half a year to recover. In his mind, there was only one thing, filming, and the camera was his wife. Jin Cheng handed a notice to Shen Ming, "Lan Haitai has pushed all the blame onto Chen Lang, so a second trial will be held tomorrow afternoon." Shen Ming was not surprised at Blue Ocean TV's move. Blue Ocean Channel has been ranked first in ratings in China for so many years, and its background is unfathomable. He never thought that he could sink the behemoth Blue Ocean Platform with a plagiarism lawsuit. It's just to divert their attention temporarily and prevent them from causing any more trouble for the crew. Their crew is still just a small boat and can't withstand too much wind and waves. "Jin Cheng, what would Chen Lang think if he knew that his goddess was asking him to take the blame?" Shen Ming suddenly asked. Jin Cheng looked at him in surprise, then laughed out loud, "Shen Ming, you have changed. When did you become so mean? But your idea is quite good." Shen Ming smiled faintly and corrected his wording: "What do you mean by mean? This is called stating objective facts. Chen Lang is our former roommate after all. It is necessary to let him know the truth." The next afternoon. Shen Ming handed over the filming of the crew to assistant director Sun Rui, and he and Jin Cheng went to the court. At the gate of the court, Shen Ming met Lin Yuyan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She was dressed exquisitely and stood on the steps looking down at others, her eyes locked on Shen Ming as soon as he appeared. “You are all big bosses and big directors, why don’t you buy a new car?” Lin Yuyan was the first to break the deadlock. It seemed like a casual greeting, but in fact it was very imposing.
She glanced at the second-hand Santana driven by Shen Ming with disdain. The body of the car is gray and it is obvious that it has been rarely maintained. Shen Ming was very familiar with her eyes; it was the look she had when she was looking at her graduation project script. Shen Ming smiled faintly, "It's just a car, a means of transportation. I value its performance more. If it's easy to use, it's a good car. If the quality is not up to standard, it's just a decoration no matter how gorgeous it is." Just like Lin Yuyan and her script. No matter how gorgeously it is packaged, useless things are still trash. (End of this chapter)
