Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Drama Queen Lai Yuaner

Feng Qi’s description of the female protagonist differed from what Tang Li understood.

In her previous life, in "Mihesha River Action," the female protagonist Tang Jing was the superior in the male protagonist Xing Xiao’s unit. The last few minutes of the film contained their romantic scene, where Xing Xiao knelt down in public to express his love for Tang Jing, an action that won thunderous applause.

But now—

Tang Li flipped through the script and found that the female protagonist’s name was Marisha, a native Chinese girl from Myanmar and Vietnam.

In her memory, the actress who played Tang Jing had won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress, Xi He.

Xi He was also a longtime close friend of the male protagonist, Zhang Qifeng.

After the release of "Mihesha River Action," which was a huge hit, the director publicly thanked Xi He for saving the day, mentioning that the originally signed actress had withdrawn at the last minute, causing severe losses to the crew. It was Zhang Qifeng who finally called Xi He to take over the role in the film.

This report sparked widespread speculation online about the identity of the actress who broke the contract.

However, the director never named names.

Tang Li had not expected that Lai Yuaner, the arrogant Xiao Hua whom everyone in the past life had racked their brains trying to identify, was actually involved in the change of the script and a major revision of the female lead’s character setup.

After all, given Xi He’s age, she definitely couldn’t play a 17-year-old girl.

According to the timeline, "Mihesha River Action" would not be released until the spring of the year after next.

That’s a whole year away.

By then, Lai Yuaner, due to the role of "Ying Xuaner," had already won the most influential Bai Ge Award for Best Supporting Actress in the country, quickly boosting her popularity. Even though "Martial God" had a mediocre market response, it didn’t stop her from receiving countless international endorsements and film offers.

When "Mihesha River Action" hit the cinemas during the Spring Festival and the box office surpassed 3 billion, Lai Yuaner was still retweeting congratulations on Vibo, urging her fans to support the film in theaters, stating she had seen it twice herself, while also posting two different ticket stubs.

Such behavior completely concealed her earlier fallout with the production team of the movie.

Perhaps because of Lai Yuaner’s "gesture of goodwill" and "acknowledgment of her mistake," coupled with the relationship between Lai Wenyan and Ouyang Qian, the director and producers of "Mihesha River Action" ultimately did not expose her name to the media.

In the following two years, Lai Yuaner’s career truly peaked.

Now, Tang Li continued reading the script.

Apart from the female lead’s role, the entire story of the movie did not differ much from her previous life.

"Mihesha River Action" was based on a real incident from a few years ago, where a passenger ship from Country S was hijacked at the Mihesha River, at the border of four countries, leading to the mass murder of everyone on board. The film begins with S country’s security department forming an investigation team, dispatching six narcotics officers to the border to rescue the sole survivor.

In her previous life, Tang Li had watched this movie.

That Spring Festival, Qin Yueru gave her two movie tickets, for her and Han Jifeng to spend time together. Han Jifeng had agreed over the phone, but she ended up standing at the entrance of the cinema, shivering with cold, and Han Jifeng never showed up; when she tried calling him, his phone was turned off.

The next day she found out that Han Jifeng had left the country overnight, heading straight for Lai Shengxia’s place of residence.

And she had thought that he was sent on a sudden business trip.

No matter when, Han Jifeng always played the knight guarding the Princess. As long as Lai Sheng Xia made a call, hinting even the slightest hesitation, he would cross oceans just to make sure she was living well.

Feng Qi’s voice came from beside: "Nowadays, the domestic film market situation has already changed from the past few years."
