The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me! Chapter 1391: 1382: Future Blessings (Part 5)

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1382: Future Blessings (Part 5)

The first issue is the ranking dispute.

The original IP is undoubtedly a female-led drama, with Xia Siyu auditioning for the female lead, surely as the top lead. However, these days, when it cos to TV productions, especially those made by such film companies themselves, they definitely have their little sches.

Although Xia Siyu’s status is high, she’s considered a “returned product” in the movie circle. Even though it’s her first ti “descending” to take a TV role, she lacks support behind the scenes, so the film company as the producer harbors so ill intentions. They’re definitely going to promote their own artists, especially the male lead.

Although the male lead is considered top-tier, that’s only because he has so buzz in television, particularly in ancient romance and urban dramas. When it cos to serious dramas or films, his acting skills, which rely heavily on dubbing, are far from even touching the edges.

Xia Siyu is often mocked for being “eight years in and not a single award,” Bo Yan and Shang Feifei have already bagged two awards, while she hasn’t received any. But comparing her to the likes of Bo Yan and Shang Feifei, top-notch actors, is not fair to a male lead who only relies on dubbing for ancient romance.

Thus, the film company wants to use her as a scapegoat. They don’t dare blatantly remove her as the main lead but propose a “shared lead” status, making the two leads equal.

Xia Siyu actually doesn’t care about the ranking. Previously, she was overshadowed by Shang Feifei, and she didn’t find it an issue. Regardless, even if she plays the second lead, she can still turn the second lead into the first.

With the ranking issue past, next cos — significant changes to the character design in the script.

These days, there are nurous dramas hung with the “female-led” banner, especially with original IPs. To boost the male lead, the female lead’s highlights are often changed, and extra scenes are added to the male lead, second male lead, or even second female lead. In so cases, production teams don’t recognize the “female-led” concept at all. They adhere to the guiding principle that the female lead creates trouble while the male lead helps, forcing a downgrade in her intelligence. Also, to develop romantic plotlines, they forcibly enhance the romance between the female and male lead, ruining both the character and the plot. There are also so female leads themselves who love the narrative of “the domineering CEO falls in love with ,” even if they receive a brilliant female lead role, they turn themselves into a unique white lotus, acting pure and genuine, with male lead, second male lead, third male lead—all male characters loving them in the drama.

Xia Siyu doesn’t care about the ranking but values the character design highly. In the past while filming movies, scripts also experienced changes, but there was generally a baseline, fild roughly according to the screenwriter or director’s intentions. After all, a movie is only up to three hours long, and adding scenes can’t go beyond that much.

But television is different, often spanning seventy to eighty episodes; sotis, adding screen ti can result in an additional dozen or so episodes, leading to the male and female leads having less screen ti than the second male and female leads. What’s the point of filming then?

This ti, her highlights are gone, and her intellect visibly dropped from high to extrely low. Moreover, her emotional intelligence is incredibly low, repeatedly misunderstanding the male lead… Xia Siyu read the first few episodes of the script, feeling her temples throb.

The most outrageous maneuver was that the second male lead of the original book beca the main lead, while the main lead got downgraded to the second male lead and got villainized. It’s like nearing marriage and suddenly your groom is swapped—who can tolerate that?

Additionally, in the styling photos, the male lead is clearly more refined than the female lead by a hundred levels, even having a cinematic texture. As for the female lead’s hair accessories and clothes, they look like sothing cheaply wholesale at nine dollars and ninety cents, including postage.

Xia Siyu couldn’t tolerate it any longer, firmly refusing.

Refusing wasn’t enough, the film company countered by slapping her with a hot search, accusing her of “deserting at the last minute, lacking integrity.”
