The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 267 Hello 2025. ☆. ? ＊?°. ?°. ☆ °. . ＼

"Oh, so after all this time, the male lead still has to die," Lu Renkui thought for a moment, then asked Wei Qingchun, "So how exactly can it be changed?"

"Ah, I need to think about that... Xiaosen, how do you guys want the female lead's character to develop?" Wei Qingchun asked.

"Well, how should I put it? I'd say she's the most powerful person in the world." Lu Renkui thought for a moment and gave what most of the audience probably wanted to hear.

So afterwards, the discussion mainly turned into Wei Qingchun and Lu Renkui, who was inside Sen Ouling's body, discussing the plot development of the script, while the others, in order not to offend Xiao Keyuan and Shen Changming, would occasionally offer their opinions.

The live stream initially had a large audience primarily composed of fans of Xiao Keyuan and others, with the chat filled with various cheering phrases and comments like "Brother is so handsome" and "Sister is so beautiful." However, the subtle rivalry between Xiao Keyuan and Shen Changming eventually attracted a considerable number of casual viewers.

Once this wave of viewership ends, few of the casual viewers will be able to stick around until the end. So the production team remembered that "Sen Ouling" had done a live stream before filming the show.

During that live stream, "Sen Ouling" not only confronted those who insulted her, but also wrote a script on the spot. I remember there were quite a few people who entered the live stream to listen to the script, but then it was reported and the live stream was taken down.

Director Wang is also an internet user. He knows that many people are asking Sen Ouling Studio to release the follow-up to that script, so he might as well take this opportunity to have "Sen Ouling" say a few words to attract those casual viewers to stay. Moreover, "Sen Ouling" has not participated in the discussion much before, but now that "Sen Ouling" has more opportunities to appear on screen, her fans have come as a result, and the number of people in the live broadcast room has increased.

Director Wang looked at the number of viewers in the live stream with satisfaction, and the scrolling comments made him even happier—finally, it wasn't just a string of identical cheering phrases anymore; it was clear that there were more casual viewers now.

This is exactly what Director Wang wanted—in the previous season, he created conflicts among the guests and caused fan wars to erupt, which is why the show had such a high level of discussion.

However, Director Wang also knew that relying on fan wars was not a long-term solution, and the show's popularity ultimately needed the attention of casual viewers. That's why he chose to add three more people this season, all of whom have a large following among casual viewers.

However, unexpectedly, "Sen Ouling" was quite talented. In the days leading up to the show's premiere, she attracted many passersby to listen to her stories, and now many people coming to the live stream are there to hear "Sen Ouling" tell her stories.

Now, Wei Qingchun's chat with "Sen Ouling" has attracted many of Wei Qingchun's young fans to stay and listen to how the two of them revise the script.

In Sen Ouling's studio, Men Ying'an and the others watched the live stream comments with tense expressions. They couldn't control what was being posted, and could only report any inappropriate comments. Fortunately, Sen Ouling didn't appear on screen much, only later when she spoke to Wei Qingchun, so the comments were relatively harmonious.

Xiao Keyuan's fans have probably been afraid of being criticized lately, and haven't dared to speak out much. This has reassured Men Ying'an a lot.

On screen, "Sen Ouling" is still discussing the direction of the script with Wei Qingchun.

Lu Renkui felt that Wei Qingchun's advice was quite unique, reminiscent of those outdated TV dramas from over 20 years ago that hadn't been heavily influenced by the internet wave.

In short, after revisions, Lu Renkui got a story that could be described as a tragic love story. Combined with the previously agreed-upon script, a poignant tale was pieced together.

"Okay, it's all written." Lu Renkui typed the newly agreed-upon script into his phone's notes app and said, "We can start filming it soon."

"Take a picture? Xiaosen, have you found someone?" Wei Qingchun asked curiously.

"Yeah, I didn't hire anyone. I just made a hand puppet with a friend, and then used the hand puppet to film this." Lu Renkui scratched his head and told everyone present the truth.

"Oh, that's great," Wei Qingchun said with a smile. "Show me the finished product when it's filmed."

"It will be posted online later," Lu Renkui laughed, "but the photos might not be very good."

“Hey, don’t make those assumptions,” Wei Qingchun suddenly became serious again. “If you’re thinking about not doing well, wouldn’t that be very discouraging?”

"Well, how should I put it? It's because this is our first time filming a short drama in this format. And the script has all sorts of twists and turns." Lu Renkui hurriedly explained, "So I dare not make any promises. If the audience goes to see what we've made with high expectations, but finds that what we've made doesn't meet their expectations and leaves them disappointed, then it would be our dereliction of duty."

"Well, good, it's good that you have this awareness." Wei Qingchun's brows relaxed and he said, "But you still need to have confidence in yourself and remember that the future belongs to you young people."

“Okay, Mr. Wei.” Lu Renkui nodded. “You are a senior in the entertainment industry. If I have any questions, I hope to get your guidance.”

"Alright, that's enough," Director Wang said. "It's almost time to end the broadcast."

So the people taking photos dispersed and went back to their own places to rest.

After washing up and changing into her pajamas, Lu Renkui lay down on the bed and scrolled through her phone for a while. She was about to go to sleep when she got bored, but then a hashtag popped up on her phone: #It is their responsibility not to disappoint the audience#.

Out of curiosity, Lu Renkui clicked on it, wanting to see who had said something similar to what he had said in the chat earlier.

The page redirects, and the first thing that appears is a black video that hasn't loaded its cover image yet. As the black video loads, its cover image also loads.

Then Lu Renkui saw that the cover had Sen Ouling's face on it.

That background is the courtyard where they're currently filming the show; it's easy to see that it was probably recorded directly from their live stream.

Oh, so it was me who said it. Lu Renkui thought about exiting the app, deleting it from the background, and then turning off her phone to go to sleep.

If Lu Renkui had clicked into the comments section of that video, he would have found that it was another fierce battle among fan groups.

Cola Sweetheart: Oh dear, it's our fault for disappointing the audience. Does she have any representative works? She speaks so arrogantly.

A big watermelon replied to Cola Sweetheart: Isn't this great? She has this kind of awareness, which means she's the type who can diligently study the script and hone her acting skills. It's much better than some actors who just stare blankly with a poker face.

I'm always struggling with what to wear. Reply to Cola Sweetheart: Wow, where did you come from, you caveman? Those two characters in that cultivation-themed drama, two brainless idiots falling in love, were the subject of widespread online criticism. Sen Ouling became an overnight sensation because of that, okay? And I've watched all the short dramas she's acted in; her acting is truly superb. Why are you being sarcastic, OP?

Bombard the World Reply to Cola Sweetheart: Oh, so it's carbonated drinks that make it so sour. So you know what kind of stuff your brother is acting in.
