Chapter 181 Changing roles
Yang Zi's injury was an accident, but compared to Lin Feng who was more concerned about Yang Zi's injury, Huanrui and the investors were more concerned about the filming of "Zhu Xian".
Before Lin Feng entered the house, he heard the sound of "changing roles" and the voice scolding Yang Zi from inside.

"Now the hospital's examination report is out, I have to undergo surgery, and I can't get out of bed for at least a month. It will take at least three months to be able to move normally!

We have just started filming "Zhu Xian", but we can't afford to wait that long, nor do we have such a huge cost.

Not to mention the current investment expenditure of 300 million a day, even with the schedules of so many actors, we can’t wait.

So I suggest that we just change the role. Everything would be fine before the filming started, but now that it has started, we have no turning back and must continue filming.

Let's change roles. I believe Yang Zi can understand that there is nothing we can do. Some things are just like this and we can't blame others. "

"I also support the role change, and I also want to say that the doctor's diagnosis this time was very clear. Yang Zi had been injured before, and she performed while ill.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been seriously injured from such a simple wire-hanging action. It's a good thing that she wasn't held responsible!

Besides, the internet was not optimistic about her playing the role of 'Lu Xueqi', so we can use this opportunity to replace her."

"I support the replacement. Although Yang Zi is one of the heroines, she is not a necessary one. I think let alone Yang Zi, anyone in the crew can be replaced except Lin Feng!"

Most people support the replacement of roles, and few people stand up to speak for Yang Zi. After all, that's where the investment cost is.

"It's understandable that Yang Zi performed despite being ill. It's not easy to wait for an opportunity, but there's no need to rush to change the role. At least wait and see how her surgery goes.
If we can get out of bed and move around in a month or two, we can wait and focus on filming Lin Feng and Zhao Liying's scenes first, and then Yang Zi's scenes."

Everyone was talking about it, but more people still supported the replacement. After all, it was not worth it to wait for a wounded player without any preparation.
Besides, Yang Zi is not the most important character. If the injured person was replaced by Lin Feng, it would be a different story. Not to mention that the crew has just started filming, even if they are halfway through filming, they still have to wait.

Just as Lin Feng was about to push the door open, Huanrui Chairman Zhong Junyan also concluded,
"I understand what everyone means, and I also support the change of roles, but we should wait for Lin Feng to come back first. No matter what, we still have to listen to Lin Feng's opinion."

No matter what the situation is with this "Zhu Xian", Lin Feng's opinion must be sought on many matters. Even if Lin Feng has no opinion, at least he must be told.

Just then, "Speaking of Lin Feng, Lin Feng is here." When Lin Feng pushed the door open, everyone stood up on their own initiative, even Zhong Junyan stood up.

After all, no one gives face to the financial sponsors who account for 120% of Huanrui artists' income, and the total income of other artists combined is a loss of -20%.

"Lin Feng, now that you're here, you should have heard everything. Yang Zi is injured and can't continue to perform, so we have to replace him." Zhong Junyan took the initiative to explain to Lin Feng.

"I know what happened. It's normal for actors to get hurt. But whether to change roles is another matter. Let's go to the hospital to see Yang Zi first."

Lin Feng's face was expressionless when he said this, but his heart was still cold. The injured Yang Zi was still lying in the hospital, but everyone here was discussing the "role change".

"Whether to change the role or not", Lin Feng neither supports nor objects to it. This is a normal commercial behavior in film and television dramas. Everyone always wants to make money!
It is impossible for hundreds of people in the crew to wait for such a long time for no reason just because of Yang Zi. No one can afford to wait.

Although I can understand that the company needs rewards for filming TV dramas, at least there should be some human touch. What's more, Yang Zi is her contracted artist, so it's not too much to at least go to the hospital to see him.

After Lin Feng said this, everyone reacted and said, "Yes, yes, we should go to the hospital to see Yang Zi first." "Yes, we were planning to go anyway."

When Lin Feng and his team arrived at the hospital, Yang Zi had just finished surgery and the doctor next to him was warning him about his condition.
"The surgery was successful, but I must not move around anymore, not to mention filming. I can't do any strenuous activities for at least a month or two."

Hearing the doctor's words, Yang Zi was in despair and shed tears. She had waited so long for this opportunity, and it was such a good opportunity. She had put in so much effort for it.

All of this was gone just like that. She didn’t know when the next chance would come. Maybe there would never be a next time.

Seeing Yang Zi so desperate, Lin Feng could understand that there are really not many opportunities to seize in life.
Just like he seized the opportunity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" back then, if he was rejected at that time, he might also be so sad.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng is stronger and more confident than others, because he knows the general trend of the entertainment industry.

That TV series can be popular and can seize every opportunity. Even if "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is gone, there will still be other opportunities.
But Yang Zi is different. "Zhu Xian" is really a natural opportunity for her.
Super IP, big investment and big production, and the chance to work with top star Lin Feng are definitely top resources.

If she wasn't an artist under Huanrui, she would never have gotten this opportunity!

The incident did not happen to him. In this regard, Lin Feng had nothing to say except to comfort him. He just said with some reluctance:

"Now that things have come to this, don't think too much. Take good care of yourself, and everything will be fine. There will be opportunities in the future."

Seeing Lin Feng, Yang Zi's desperate eyes were filled with hope. She hugged Lin Feng's hand and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really don't want to miss this opportunity. I'm so sorry!"

It seems that Yang Zi has been under a lot of pressure recently. She cried for five minutes. Lin Feng patted her trembling shoulders until she had completely vented.
"It's okay, everything will be fine. There are many good opportunities. Even without "Zhu Xian", there are other fairy tale dramas.

Besides, our company just signed you, so we will definitely be responsible for you, don’t you think? Mr. Zhong! "

At this time, Zhong Junyan also expressed her opinion, "That's for sure. Isn't it clearly written in our contract that I must play the leading role in at least three dramas in five years?

In addition to "Zhu Xian", there are also "Legend of Dragon Ball: Infernal Affairs" and "Legend of White Snake"!

You can rest assured and take good care of yourself now. The company will never give up on you. You will still be the top lady in the company in the future.
It’s just Zhu Xian. I can only apologize. There is nothing we can do about it. No one wants this to happen. I hope you can understand!"

To be honest, Zhong Junyan is also very optimistic about Yang Zi, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to sign Yang Zi. There are really not many actresses with such acting skills as Yang Zi at this age.

Besides, Yang Zi’s injury this time was not a big deal. It was his leg that was injured, not his face. He just had to rest in bed for a few more months. It was a pity that he missed "Zhu Xian".

"Yes, Mr. Zhong has said so, so don't worry. Besides, I am here for you. Don't you believe me?"

But Lin Feng suddenly thought it was a little funny. In his previous life, although Yang Zi also took on many of Huanrui's own dramas,
Like "The Legend of Chusen", "The Legend of Dragon Ball: Infernal Affairs" and "Legend of the White Snake", in the end, the response was not very good.
On the contrary, the several dramas she took on outside, especially "Ode to Joy" and "Ashes of Love", were the two most important works that helped her become a top star.

Of course, no one can deny that without the traffic boost from “The Legend of Chusen”, Yang Zi might not have been able to act in “Ode to Joy” and “Ashes of Love”. Although Huanrui did not tailor any high-quality female-lead dramas for Yang Zi, it is hard to say that the then-unsuccessful “The Legend of Chusen” played a role in this.

After all, big IP + traffic lineup + big production is one of the most popular types among young audiences.

The level of liveliness is comparable to that of low-age "family-friendly" dramas, and the large-scale costume and fantasy dramas are still big traffic sources that attract countless fans.

Yang Zi felt relieved when he saw the company boss's assurance. Besides, there was Lin Feng, whose words were even more effective than the boss's.

Yang Zi went to recover from his injuries and officially announced his withdrawal from the "Zhu Xian" crew on Weibo, and also thanked Lin Feng specially.

"The operation was successful. Please don't worry. I am sorry to say goodbye to my beloved 'Lu Xueqi' in this way.
Thanks again to the crew of "Zhu Xian", especially Lin Feng for his help. You are such a good person. Without you, it would be hard for me to persevere. "

The official crew also expressed their deep guilt and apologized to Yang Zi and everyone else. The top priority is the actor’s physical recovery. We hope Yang Zi will have a good rest and recover soon!

At this time, the public opinion is still good, and most of them are blessings, "He must be safe and sound", "Yang Zi must be safe and sound", "He must be safe and sound, and everything will go smoothly",
There were also many rumors, "I told you to have Lu Xueqi, now you are getting your comeuppance!" "God didn't want you to play this role!"

However, compared to the slightest disturbance on the Internet, the current situation of "Zhu Xian" can be described as surging like a storm!
After all, Yang Zi's injury has left a vacancy for a female lead in "Zhu Xian". This is definitely a huge opportunity, who wouldn't want it!
Not to mention the female artists of Huanrui, such as Ying Er, Yuan Bingyan, Zhao Yingzi, Zhang Zixi, He Dujuan, etc.

Everyone is gearing up, running to the crew and the company all day long, looking for connections and ways, just to get the role of "Lu Xueqi" in "Zhu Xian".
Someone has already called Lin Feng. Lin Feng had only heard of this person and didn't even know him, so he hung up after answering the call.

Even, some people from outside found Lin Feng. I don’t know if they got Lin Feng’s phone number, which made Lin Feng a little upset.

Just then, Lin Feng's phone rang again. Lin Feng was about to hang up, but when he saw it was Yang Mi's call, he picked up the phone.

But Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Yang Mi also wanted to play the role of "Lu Xueqi" in "Zhu Xian"?
But she doesn't seem to fit the role. Besides, isn't she busy with "Eternal Love"?

Lin Feng picked up the phone and asked, "Why are you calling me suddenly at this time? Is there something wrong?"

"I'm your woman. Can't I call you if nothing happens?" Yang Mi asked directly.

"Not really. It's mainly because too many people have called me recently, which has made me very upset. I don't want to deal with these trivial matters this time. I just want to film the movie well."

Lin Feng said helplessly. He was really annoyed recently. He had to answer some calls even though he knew they were about these things. Some calls even reached Teacher Lin Feng, making it difficult for Lin Feng to refuse.

"Oh, you are talking about the heroine 'Lu Xueqi' in 'Zhu Xian'. Now everyone in the circle is eyeing this resource and they found you, but you are not happy!
By the way, now that you mentioned that, I suddenly want to ask, do you think I have a chance? " Yang Mi didn't think so at first, but suddenly he felt that this was really an opportunity.

"Ah! You want to act too. Aren't you busy with "Eternal Love" recently? Do you really have time?" Lin Feng was a little puzzled.

"Humph, from the tone of your voice I can tell you don't want me to act. Are you afraid that I'll ruin your relationship with Zhao Liying?"

"No, I'm just checking because too many people have been looking for me recently. If you really want to act, I can speak for you."

Lin Feng is not a fool. He has heard that Yang Mi cannot act. If there is still a chance before the filming of "Zhu Xian", she will have the time now!

"Oh, since you are so sincere, I won't wade into this mess. The reason I called you is to tell you that the casting for Eternal Love is basically over.
I estimate that it will be officially announced in two days. The specific start of filming and audition will probably start in late January next year. I will tell you this first. "

"Isn't it February? How come it's January now? It's early. I can't finish filming Zhu Xian until February. I don't want to be late for the show."

Lin Feng has never been a show-off. He can take time off to attend some activities or announcements, or even to record the variety show Running Man.
But he never rushes to act, because he needs a process of preparation before filming, which has become his habit.

It is also his professional ethics to do everything seriously and shoot the drama well, no matter what kind of drama it is, an idol drama, a modern drama, or a movie, he must be serious and responsible.

"It won't delay you. You can join the crew a month later. I know you don't like acting, so I'm sure you've arranged everything for you. Don't you trust me with my work?"

"That's good enough. You still remember how much I love you. I was so tired last time that my waist hurts now." Lin Feng said in a flowery way.

"You're so annoying. You keep talking about things all day long. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still have a lot of things to do."

"Well, goodbye, my dear Mimi."

Lin Feng hung up the phone happily, and when he turned around, he met Zhao Liying, which scared Lin Feng.

"Who are you talking to on the phone? You look so happy. What secret do you have? What secret do you have?" Zhao Liying didn't hear anything, but she could see that Lin Feng was very happy.

"Oh, it was my mom who called just now. What secret? No secret. My mom just asked me who my girlfriend is. I said it's a secret.

There's nothing else. If you don't believe me, I can call my mom right now and let you two have a chat. My mom likes your song "My Lady of Love" the most."

Lin Feng was not lying about this. Lin's mother didn't like the fantasy dramas with fighting and flying around like "Swords of Legends" and "The Journey of Flower". She only liked "Come and See You", in which Zhao Liying played the role of a silly and innocent girl at her peak.

"Ah! Auntie, you're so happy, but how can I talk to you formally for the first time on the phone? It's so rude!" Zhao Liying said shyly.

"You mean we can just meet in real life? Then I have to make arrangements quickly. It turns out that the ugly daughter-in-law wants to meet the mother-in-law! Great!"

"You're so annoying! I'm not an ugly wife!"

While Lin Feng and Zhao Liying were flirting, the casting for "Zhu Xian" started again.
