Before the matter was finalized, Zheng Weiwei had already revised the script.
The film’s script was very simple and quite thin.
It still needed the actors and director to flesh it out, so Zheng Weiwei and her editing team added a storyline for Sheng Tang in one night.
When Sheng Tang got it, the character had almost no changes, and the scenes shot over the past week didn’t need any alterations.
She and the role played by Wen Yu, Qi Qi, were different. Her character was downright bitchy in the beginning, and only had her stunning moment halfway through the movie.
As for Feng Yanqiu, his scenes continued to be filmed. The director hadn’t decided which parts to cut; since he received an eight million yuan fee as the male lead and maintained his spot as the lead during future promotions, he naturally didn’t dare to complain.
The filming was still ongoing.
Zheng Weiwei left the crew for a while, and when she returned, she had brought in two supermodels and a chief editor of a fashion magazine.
The two supermodels were there to make cameos and offer advice to Sheng Tang; the chief editor of the fashion magazine provided professional opinions on Sheng Tang’s lines, costumes, and styling.
In front of the supermodels, Sheng Tang appeared very short, so she donned 15cm high heels.
When the director was filming Sheng Tang’s scenes with other actors, no one else, including the two supermodels, was allowed to wear high heels. Of course, the director might also avoid filming their feet.
Only when Sheng Tang was shooting alone would there be full-body shots where she could wear her normal 6cm heels.
Sheng Tang was already 168cm tall, and with her super high heels, she looked even more like a proper model.
"When you’re walking the catwalk, relax your shoulders but stay steady," the two supermodels were quite active, feeling that Sheng Tang walked quite like a pro, offering her some small tips now and then.
"The rhythm is easy to catch, just follow my lead."
Sheng Tang was a fast learner with a good memory. After being told something once, she could remember it; plus, her body coordination was good, so she could do well once she remembered.
Therefore, she looked even more like a pro.
"If you become a model, you definitely won’t have anything to eat," during the lunch break, the two supermodels, like Sheng Tang, were eating chicken salad and started chatting.
"Why?" Sheng Tang asked, "Am I too short?"
"Not really, your figure doesn’t have an advantage, but you’re not too short either," one supermodel laughed, "You’re too pretty, you’d draw the audience’s attention away from the clothes to your face."
Sheng Tang laughed.
She enjoyed chatting with them, then her assistant Ai’ai came running over.
"Sister Tang, something’s wrong, your Weibo has been taken over," Ai’ai handed the phone to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang’s Weibo was always managed by Ai’ai, as she didn’t have many fans, with only over ninety thousand followers. She didn’t have time to manage it herself, so occasionally posted some selfies that Ai’ai helped her take.
"Oh?" Sheng Tang found it amusing, "Taken over? Do they even know who I am to take over my Weibo?"
Her "Path to the Top" was indeed a hit, but it wasn’t a pure romance drama, so while she received many industry accolades, it didn’t attract many new fans.
Ai’ai’s face looked very troubled.
Sheng Tang took a look at it and asked Ai’ai what was going on.
"Look at this," Ai’ai said.
The two supermodels were curious too and crowded around to have a look.
Sheng Tang saw someone posted a long article on Feng Yanqiu’s super topic, suggesting that a newly-promoted actor in the film industry was squeezing out Feng Yanqiu and using all sorts of schemes to steal his scenes.
As for the schemes, they were described nastily, roughly saying that Sheng Tang was a plant placed in the crew by capital interests.
Though no names were mentioned, it clearly pointed to Sheng Tang because the movie had already been officially announced, and the only one matching the role in the article was Sheng Tang.
Before this long article, Feng Yanqiu posted a Weibo and deleted it quickly saying, "Drunk, human hearts are the hardest to fathom."
He deleted that post after a minute, but it sparked a lot of discussion.
As a popular actor in the TV circle, his words easily stirred public opinion. His fans and passersby were all concerned about what happened to him and then followed the long article, directing their attention to Sheng Tang.
