Chapter 299: 298 times CP

"So did you get it right? I remember you’ve watched the show too."

"No...." replied Yang Tiantian feebly.

"Was the question difficult?"

"Not really..."

Yang Tiantian sighed, activated the screenshot mode on her phone, and handed it to Tang Shu.

As the latter looked at the screenshot, she saw a fifty-question quiz:

[Question 1: Where did Jiang Cheng and Shen Siyi first meet?]

[Question 2: When did Jiang Cheng and Shen Siyi exchange their first glance?]

[Question 3: What do you think went through Shen Siyi’s mind when she asked Jiang Cheng a question?]

Tang Shu: "???"

Are you shippers really that serious?

***

The "You Smile" production team.

Director Liu came out of the post-production editing room, took a turn, and headed to the chief editor’s office at the very top.

When he knocked and entered, he found the esteemed screenwriter had turned her lush hair into a bird’s nest.

Messy, as if she had been electrified.

"Yo, grand screenwriter, are you experiencing another creative drought?"

In front of the desk, Wen Xin looked up, revealing a pair of heavy dark circles, which even her thick glasses could not hide.

"What brings you here?"

Director Liu casually pulled a chair from across her desk and plonked down on it.

"I came to check on the progress of your scriptwriting. Didn’t expect you to be under so much pressure."

"I had actually finished it last night."

"By the sound of it, are you planning to redo it today?"

Director Liu wasn’t too surprised by this; after all, he was well aware of this perfectionist screenwriter’s habits—redoing her work was nothing unusual.

"It’ll be fine once it’s good enough; don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The ratings have been very steady, and we can wrap up in another five or six episodes."

"Easy for you to say," Wen Xin gave him a dissatisfied glance, "I don’t believe you haven’t seen the trending topics on Weibo. You didn’t come here just to check on me, did you?"

"So it appears you’ve also seen what’s been said on the fan forums."

Director Liu shrugged, his smile carefree.

No matter what, making it to the trending topics meant the show had traction, which also meant the crew’s efforts hadn’t gone to waste.

"Shen Siyi’s character’s popularity is through the roof, far exceeding our original expectations. We really need to adjust the later episodes. There are quite a few fans on the internet clamoring not to turn Female Lead No.2 into a villain."

"I know," Wen Xin pushed up her thick glasses on the bridge of her nose, "I never planned to turn her into a villain when I created the character. The fans are worrying over nothing."

Who is Wen Xin?

She’s a well-known screenwriter in the industry, master of plot twists!

She’s the embodiment of the "never-saw-it-coming" series to the audience.

Director Liu instantly found this amusing, "If Shen Siyi isn’t meant to turn evil, then why are you still rewriting the script? Just use the one you have."

"That won’t do. I’m increasingly feeling that the male leads are superfluous. I’m thinking of cutting down their screen time."

Director Liu: "???"

Have you also lost your mind?

The male leads, completely unaware their screen time is about to be cut, would cry their eyes out in the bathroom if they heard these ruthless words!

Wen Xin hadn’t started modifying the plot yet; instead, she was scrolling through something on her phone.

Director Liu waited awhile without receiving any attention from the screenwriter and, getting curious, decided to indulge.

"What are you looking at? Too busy to bother with me?"

"Looking for inspiration——"

"Oh~~~~ You’re reading romance novels, aren’t you?"

"Kind of."
