Therefore, although he had been playing supporting roles for the past two years, when it came to changing the lines and plot, he could do whatever he wanted. The scriptwriters and directors definitely had no comments.

In particular, in two of his previous movies, although he didn’t have many scenes, the scenes he modified became famous among the audience. With such successful experience, he had a certain status in production teams.

“Okay, I’ll get Qiao Weiyang over immediately,” the director’s assistant said.

Qiao Weiyang had finished filming her scenes and was resting at the side. When she heard the director’s assistant inform her of the situation, she stood up and said, “I’ll go over and take a look.”

She specially found a notebook and pen to bring with her so that she could record the notes.

Zhang Youming was a head shorter than Qiao Weiyang and looked ordinary. When he saw Qiao Weiyang, he smiled. “Ms. Qiao.”

Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, just call me Weiyang like everyone else.”

“Okay. In this part, the way my character speaks is very contradictory. We have to change it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to act.”

It was a discussion, but his tone was firm. It was the kind that was non-negotiable.

This was also what Zhang Youming was used to.

He respected Qiao Weiyang, which was why he called her over to discuss it.

If it were another production team with a weaker team, he would have changed the line immediately.

“May I ask which part you’re referring to?” Qiao Weiyang asked.

Zhang Youming pointed at one of the parts and said, “Look here. He said that he doesn’t agree with what the male lead said, but when I look at the next line, he suddenly agrees. Isn’t this inconsistent? I can’t perform well like this.”

Qiao Weiyang said patiently, “This character’s personality is like this. He says that he doesn’t agree, but he doesn’t actually mean what he says. You can’t look at the things he says but at what he does. He has a very complicated personality, which is why we need a veteran actor like you to pull it off.”

At this point, Qiao Weiyang understood that Zhang Youming probably hadn’t finished reading the entire script and had only read the first part.

Zhang Youming did not expect Qiao Weiyang to refute him. He smiled and said, “Weiyang, you have to change the lines. This won’t do.”

“Mr. Zhang, how do you think they should be changed?”

Zhang Youming expressed his opinion.

Then, he waited for Qiao Weiyang to come to a realization, clap, and change the lines.

However, in reality, Qiao Weiyang frowned slightly and said, “I think the changes to this part might not be good. It’s in conflict with the fifth scene of page 80 of the script. If this part is changed, the entire plot over there will have to be changed.”

Qiao Weiyang flipped to the page and showed it to Zhang Youming.

Zhang Youming took a look and felt a little embarrassed.

In particular, the director’s assistant was quietly looking at him.

He was a little embarrassed. This was the first time he had encountered such a huge failure in changing the script.

Perhaps it was because he subconsciously did not take Qiao Weiyang seriously, so he did not consider that Qiao Weiyang’s rebuttal would be so reasonable.

“Then let’s not change this for the time being,” Zhang Youming said. He would take a good look at the script later. He would definitely be able to find something that needed to be changed.

“Alright, Mr. Zhang. Take a look at the script first. We’ll discuss it if there’s a problem,” Qiao Weiyang said and returned the script to him.

Although no one deliberately spread the news that Zhang Youming wanted to change the script, it quickly spread.

Many people knew that he wanted to change his lines, but he was convinced by Qiao Weiyang.

It was mainly because his suggestion was indeed too strange. Qiao Weiyang was actually able to suppress Zhang Youming, which made many people feel amazed. That was why this matter spread so quickly.

Zhang Youming was very embarrassed. He had been famous for a while now and wanted to show off his talent. Previously, he had always been given a chance to shine.

This time, he was defeated. His displeasure with Qiao Weiyang naturally increased greatly.

When he returned to his hotel room at night, he stayed up to read the script. He tried to find flaws that would allow for modifications, especially when it came to lines. He had to pick out some flaws and mistakes. It should be really easy for him.

He finished reading the script after midnight, but he could not find any mistakes.

The script was really exquisite.

There was nothing to change.

He was also very embarrassed.

His assistant poured him some milk. “Mr. Zhang, you really should rest. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to film tomorrow.”

“Then give me a day off,” Zhang Youming said.

“Okay, I’ll call the director.”

Logically speaking, applying for leave as soon as one joined the production team was a bad omen, but Zhang Youming was really embarrassed and did not want to face the production team.

He didn’t think that Qiao Weiyang was that powerful. It was all the main scriptwriter’s work. However, Qiao Weiyang was using the scriptwriter’s exquisite work to teach him a lesson, making him lose face.

The assistant said in a low voice, “Mr. Zhang, when Qiao Weiyang ‘guided’ you today, I filmed it. Do you want me to post it on the internet?”

“Do it.” Zhang Youming did not want to compromise with Qiao Weiyang at all with his current strength and fame.

The next day.

Zhang Youming did not show up, so Qiao Weiyang’s scenes were adjusted.

“What’s wrong with Mr. Zhang?” Qiao Weiyang asked.

“I heard that he caught a cold last night and got up in the middle of the night to get an injection and take medicine. He really couldn’t make it to film today,” the staff replied.

Qiao Weiyang nodded. “Then let him have a good rest. We just need to adjust a little. His health is the most important.”

Tao Huan ran over and said anxiously, “Sister Weiyang, why are you still treating him so well? He’s already on the trending searches.”

“What trending searches?” Qiao Weiyang did not pay attention to it.

“Look, the headline of the trending topic is—Qiao Weiyang instructs Zhang Youming to shoot the scene!”

The accompanying video was the video of Qiao Weiyang discussing the script and character with Zhang Youming yesterday.

As it was secretly taken, the conversation was not clear. However, it could be seen that Qiao Weiyang was flipping through the script while Zhang Youming was listening.

In the eyes of the public, Zhang Youming was a veteran of the entertainment industry. He was a veteran actor and a top celebrity among middle-aged actors. Although he was not good-looking, he had won over many men and women with his talent.

As for Qiao Weiyang, she was indeed beautiful, but she was a popular female artiste. She was often thought of as a bimbo by other people. She was a person who relied on her looks to dominate the world.

Qiao Weiyang’s beauty in the show would definitely convince the public, but she wanted to guide Zhang Youming outside the show?

That would be the biggest joke in the world!

The criticisms had already drowned Qiao Weiyang.
