The wind was blowing gently, the setting sun quietly hid in the clouds, the sky darkened, and dusk fell.

In the apartment,

Su Li picked up a few pieces of vegetable leaves with chopsticks and placed them in the bowl in front of her. Chen Yamei, who was sitting opposite her, seemed to be waiting for her to say something, but what could she say? After she answered, Chen Yamei's expression suddenly changed, just like the scene she had predicted a few seconds ago.

No matter how much she explained, it had already stirred up an uncalmable wave in Chen Yamei's heart.

What was the small workshop that Yan Ren mentioned was strictly controlled by Chen Yamei? At that moment, Su Li had completely understood that the silly and sweet drama that was criticized on the hot search was the masterpiece of Chen Yamei's intervention in the studio. Originally, Director Sun gave her the script first, and she also agreed to play the role on the spot after reading the script under Director Sun's expectation. However, her name was not on the official Weibo announcement, but Xu Xuanran's name was listed instead.

At that time, Su Li may have thought that Director Sun believed that Xu Xuanran was more suitable for this role. Anyway, he only agreed verbally and did not sign a contract, so he did not suffer any loss. He did not call to ask Director Sun's opinion. But now it seems that this matter is not that simple.

It wasn't about who was more suitable, but Chen Yamei hurriedly stopped Director Sun and rejected his invitation in her name.

This memory that was read out, as well as the memories of Chen Yamei comforting her.

From Su Li's perspective, she had already promised Director Sun that after signing the contract on another day, she could read the script, familiarize herself with the characters, and wait for the crew to start filming, but Chen Yamei suddenly came to comfort her and mentioned some hypotheses.

...

Su Li put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Yamei sitting opposite her with a smile in her eyes: "I feel that Yan Ren's play is pretty good, and the character setting is quite novel, so I agreed to Yan Ren."

"But this role in this play was originally played by someone." Chen Yamei frowned slightly, and her tone became a little hurried.

"When there's a problem with an actor, there's nothing wrong with Yan Ren solving the problem."

"It's a big problem! How can you replace someone else's role with your current status! Before the problem happened, this actor was only a third-tier one! After the problem happened, what will others say when they ask you, a first-tier one, to replace a third-tier role?" Chen Yamei looked as if she was very disappointed in him and that her good cards had been ruined.

This should have been a serious topic, but Su Li felt like laughing. She leaned forward slightly and said, "I'm an actor. Acting is my duty. Besides, I didn't steal or rob this role. I was just openly saving my friend's situation and filling a gap. Besides, the script is really good. Who knows, my reputation might even improve with this drama. At least I won't be criticized for those silly and innocent roles that I got for no reason. Isn't this a good thing?"

"A good thing? What's the difference between the essence of this play and Director Sun's play? Both have pessimistic plots. Who do you think will watch such a movie now?" Chen Yamei stood up with a frown and began to question Su Li.

"But why do you think that "Spark", a film with a purely silly and sweet plot, will be popular with the current public?" Su Li's expression suddenly changed.

The quality of a play is not entirely determined by the public's preference.

However, Chen Yamei's remarks have put the cart before the horse. Isn't it because actors are willing to play a role and are attracted by the charm of the role and make a careful decision after careful consideration? But for Chen Yamei, the film must be liked by the public. If a film must be criticized according to the public's aesthetics and preferences, then films with such a pessimistic approach have no right to appear on the screen, right?

Well, let's take the plot of "Spark" as an example. Why is it that Su Li only has one evaluation in her mind about this drama, which is silly and naive? Apart from the audience's evaluation of this character, even Su Li thinks that the heroine is particularly stupid. She cries when encountering big or small things, and uses crying to solve problems no matter how serious they are. Maybe some people think that the heroine is too emotional, but Su Li just doesn't like this kind of coy character. She would rather play the strong and vicious female supporting role in this drama than play the heroine who exchanges everything for crying.

-

Su Li's eyes were cold and gloomy, and she cast a cold gaze on Chen Yamei. "Also, Director Sun has never had any contact with you. And I've repeatedly stressed in the studio that Director Sun handed me the script that year that I shouldn't reveal it to anyone. How did you know that?"

Chen Yamei's eyes flashed with guilt. She looked away and pretended to be calm, saying, "No matter what, Spark has broadened your acting range significantly, and it's a big production!"

"So, it was you who went to Director Sun and refused to perform on my behalf, and you also took on "Spark" privately?" Su Li asked.

Chen Yamei was silent for a long time, and finally turned to Su Li, "Yes, Mom is doing this for your own good! Look, the scripts you receive now are no longer as low-quality as before, they are all big productions! It's the play 'Spark' that brought you good resources! If you participated in Director Sun's play, do you think you would still have such good resources to choose from?"

Su Li closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair, took a deep breath, then stood up, glanced at Chen Yamei coldly, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Yes, thanks to you!"

"I still have an announcement to rush to, so I'm leaving first." Su Li picked up her bag and left this depressing space without looking back.

After coming out of the apartment and feeling the fresh air, Su Li felt alive again.

A message ringtone rang, and Su Li took out her cell phone from her pocket to check it.

The boss of Gouxiongling [Sister, Sister Shuang contacted a brand today. They are interested in collaborating with us and asked to schedule a time to discuss in detail tomorrow afternoon.]

Sl【Brand owner?】

Gouxiongling Laoda [is a domestic sweeper brand]

Sl【Okay, I'll talk to you later when I get back to the studio.】

After exiting the chat interface with Xiao Xiong, Su Li found Yan Ren’s dialog box and clicked on the friend recommended by the other party.

After completing this series of operations, Su Li took the elevator downstairs.

Walking out of the apartment, Su Li took out a mask from her pocket and put it on. Just as she was about to leave, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Jie Ran, with all the information about the patient in Ward 436.

After briefly reading the message, Su Li entered an unfamiliar number.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hey."

"The weather is nice today. Would you like to have a cup of coffee?" Su Li said with a smile.

The other party was silent for a long time, and was about to refuse in the next second, but before he could utter the word "no", Su Li said, "Tell me in detail about the person in Ward 436 who is very important to you."

"You!" The other party's emotions were instantly aroused. He suppressed his outburst and said calmly, "Address."

"I'll send you the address. Remember to come on time for the appointment."

After hanging up the phone, the expression on Su Li's face disappeared in an instant. After sending the address to Xu Xuanran, she walked straight to the garage to the 'date' place.
