Zhu Lin was more familiar with the situation in the circle and replied, “This Director Liu has filmed many web dramas! Most of them were hit by the wind, some by fire, and some by pounce.”

“If the palace drama became popular, they would quickly film one. When the time-travel drama became popular, he immediately found someone to film it. Anyway, he can shoot five or six movies a year.”

“With so many movies filmed in a year, even if only one of them became popular, it would still be a profit.”

“But if that’s the case, the quality of the drama can’t be guaranteed, right?” Shi Xi asked.

“Even an S rating can’t guarantee the quality of the drama.” Zhu Lin shrugged.

Shi Xi ate her lunch box and sighed. “Fortunately, Pei Jie and the other supporting actors’ acting skills pass the test!”

“I asked around just now. Most of the supporting roles are acting for the first time. The pay is so low!” Zhu Lin whispered.

“There are quite a number of such film crews in the industry. They trick newcomers into acting and only give them a little pay. This is also a way for the production team to save money,” the screenwriter said, not surprised.

“This is a big IP. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of investment. Why does it feel like this production team is so poor?” Shi Xi asked curiously.

When she first read the script, it said that the drama would be invested in 80 million yuan.

Judging from the makeup and manpower today, she would believe it even if it was 2 million, let alone 80 million.

“Probably to wash money.” Tian Yu lowered her voice. “Anyway, I don’t think Director Liu wants to take this drama seriously!”

Their guess was verified in the afternoon.

Director Liu left in the afternoon and left everything to the assistant director.

The assistant director was a student of the Film Academy’s Director Department. He had not even graduated yet and had already taken on such a heavy responsibility.

According to him, this drama was his graduation work.

Everyone:”…”

Tian Yu braced herself and went to get the script for him to discuss.

Unexpectedly, the assistant director agreed with the changed script.

Tian Yu was already prepared to have a war of words with him, but she did not expect the assistant director to approve it directly. Moreover, he said that he would change it according to her script.

The sudden joy made Shi Xi and Tian Yu feel at a loss.

This was probably a blessing from the heavens!

However, the assistant director lacked filming experience and had poor control over the camera. He often asked for retakes because of small problems.

One scene had to be filmed more than ten times.

“I know! It’s because you’re too beautiful, Teacher Shi, and you don’t fit in this drama!” The assistant director looked at the screen and said to Shi Xi, “Teacher Shi, can you remove your makeup?”

Shi Xi was stunned on the spot. This was the first time she had heard that because she was too beautiful, she had to remove her makeup to film this drama.

“However, Liu Aiming is set to be the number one beauty in the Three Realms. Because she was too beautiful, she was bullied and ostracized. If I’m not good-looking, why am I being bullied?” Shi Xi retorted.

The assistant director was deep in thought. “That’s true.”

Shi Xi: …Can you look at the script?!

The assistant director said, “Let’s take this scene again!”

One shot was repeated more than ten times.

Shi Xi missed Director Liu a little in the morning.

Throughout the day, Shi Xi and Tian Yu had been tormented by this production team.

Director Liu didn’t block the camera, but he didn’t allow the script to be changed.

The assistant director allowed them to change the script, but he refused to let it go in small places. He filmed a scene more than ten times.

Moreover, there was not a single scriptwriter in the entire production team.

Only Tian Yu brought by Shi Xi was changing.

“I did some calculations. I shot 32 scenes today. At this rate, we can shoot 1,800 scenes in two months!” Zhu Lin calculated.

“There will always be breaks in between. It’s impossible to shoot more than 30 scenes a day, right?” Shi Xi said..
