Lin Yufen had no intention of giving in.

There was no way she would give in.

If she gives in, not only will she lose her rights as a director in the future, but she will also be regarded as an easy target for bullying.

He couldn't even raise his head in front of Yang Mi.

From the moment we started to interact with each other, Yang Mi gave her enough face.

She has the final say on the budget.

She has the final say in who she chooses.

The shooting cycle, the ideas...everything, Yang Mi never shook her head.

In this play, I gave myself unprecedented freedom.

But now I can’t get an actor from my own company?

Tell this...

How are you going to hang out in the world in the future?

She doesn't want to lose face?

Thinking of this, she said directly to Li Guoli:

"Director Li, I really can't accept this matter. I will only let Shishi play the role of Ruoxi. This is the principle I adhere to. I am the director. If people within the company don't even have this right to use it,

…”

"..."

Lin Yufen didn't finish speaking, but Li Guoli already understood the meaning.

His face became a little ugly.

It's not that he's angry, but an expression of "what's wrong with you?":

"Afen, do you know what you are talking about?"

But Lin Yufen remained determined:

"This is my bottom line, Director Li. If it's an outsider, the company will consider the artists and give priority to our own people. I can understand it. Because this is the company's business development needs. But, I want to use the artists within the company.

, and he is still filming at your place in the summer, and now he comes to me and uses a so-called excuse to hide in the snow. I cannot accept it.

This thing... is too much! I can give in. Where are the others? Where is Director Wu? Where is Director You? If we, as directors, cannot even control the people within our own company, is there still a place for us in this company? In the future

Do we still have the right to speak!? So, I can’t accept it.”

This time, Li Guoli also remained silent.

In fact, he also knew that Lin Yufen was right.

As for Liu Shishi, he actually doesn't care.

It’s not that it’s dispensable, but I don’t think it’s the case at all.

We are all adults. From the perspective of the company, what is most important? As a leader, how can you not be clear about it?

And he can also see that the matter between Shishi and Cai Yinong may be mostly personal.

but……

I don't care how you resolve your personal grudges.

The positioning of the director team that I worked so hard to train on this matter suddenly became awkward.

If Lin Yufen is easy to talk to, that's fine.

But now that the other party is so insistent... Li Guoli himself understands that he has to take action both emotionally and rationally.

To put it bluntly.

If the investors want to appoint a female protagonist, that's fine.

Director, if you can, shoot it, if not, we will replace it.

But the investors didn't say anything, and the directors and actors from the same company couldn't get together.

This matter cannot be explained at all.

"……well."

Li Guoli sighed:

"Okay. Then I will talk to the other side... Just wait for my news."

"Okay. The preparation period will begin in October."

Lin Yufen reminded Li Guoli that she was about to enter the TV series preparation stage, and then stood up and left.

Li Guoli didn't send it.

The relationship between the two is not that raw.

After she left, Li Guoli returned to the study and waited for another pot of tea.

Think quietly.

After finishing the pot of tea, my thinking was over.

He picked up the phone and dialed Cai Yinong's number.

"Dudu... hello, Director Li."

Cai Yinong's voice sounded.

"Well, are you busy right now?"

"I'm not busy, please tell me, Director Li."

"Let Shishi be the heroine of the drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin"."

"..."

Cai Yinong's voice fell silent.

Li Guoli continued to say calmly:

"Afen has just left my job. The director's choice of roles is his own job. What's more, the investors didn't even interfere with the casting. If Afen can't even control the artists of his own company this time,

In the future, how will directors like them behave themselves in the company?"

"Director Li, she has been hidden. And I have also informed the whole company..."

"Isn't that before "The Stranger"? She also acted in "The Stranger", right?"

"Can……"

"Let's just settle this matter."

Li Guoli interrupted her directly:

"Don't let me be in trouble. Our company is an entertainment agency that produces its own works. Can't you tell the difference between the director and the actor?"

"..."

"Mr. Cai?"

In Cai Yinong's office, Secretary Lin looked at Cai Yinong, who looked a little unhappy, and asked tentatively:

"What's wrong?"

Cai Yinong still didn't say anything, just holding the phone and being silent for about a minute, and then finally raised his head.

Looking at Secretary Lin, she said:

"Let someone communicate with Director Lin and leave a supporting role for Gulinazha. It's better to have a more serious role. Then...send the script to Shishi. It's for "Step by Step Scary Heart"."

"Well……"

Secretary Lin opened her mouth subconsciously as if she wanted to say something.

But after her eyes fell on Mr. Cai’s phone... she finally just answered:

"Okay. Then Shishi's other business activities..."

Cai Yinong didn't say anything, just glanced at her.

Secretary Lin understood and silently retreated.

…

"You have to have a core, do you understand what I mean? That is... the character you play, first of all, when you understand her, you have to find the rationality for her existence.

What is the essence of drama? It is imitation.

When we imitate a character, its rationality is the reason for its existence. I think you need to pay attention to this aspect.

The reason why you are in a bad state today is because of this... you have not closely observed the state of the migrant women you played from rural areas to the city. The movements of their backpacks, their confusion about the big city.

With anxiety, and when talking to people...
