Chapter 303: What If I Say No

Ling Tianya safely returned to the studio. Although everyone was curious about what happened the day before, no one dared to actually ask Ling Tianya. Ling Tianya was too lazy to explain everything to them, so that was the end of it.

She only rested in the lounge for a short while before someone came to inform her that the shooting had started.

Ling Tianya and Zhang Ke walked out of the lounge just in time to see the faces of Big One and Small One, which indicated that they were arguing about something.

Ling Tianya pretended not to notice it and walked past them.

Big One warned Small One with a stare and steadily followed up. Small One couldn’t help but roll his eyes before following up himself.

The sight of the two strong men behind them made Zhang Ke very uncomfortable. Her mentor had become a zoo animal in the studio, but she was aware that it was what Mr. Ruan wanted. If her mentor did not say anything, what could she possibly say as the little assistant?

Regardless, Zhang Ke still felt a hint of hostility from the bodyguard, while the big bodyguard appeared much calmer and more restrained.

If she could feel that, so her mentor who had a keen sensitivity must have felt it too.

When Yi Tian came over with the script, Ling Tianya was sorting through some manuscripts.

Faced with Big One the two bodyguards who looked like two big mountains, Yi Tian lowered her eyes and softened her voice. “Miss Ling, there is a scene I want to discuss with you.”

When she heard the voice of Yi Tian, Ling Tianya put the manuscript in her hand down and looked at her interestedly.

Not hearing an answer from Ling Tianya, Yi Tian spoke it again. “Miss Ling, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

Ling Tianya’s high and mighty queen-like demeanor made the small body guard scrunch up his eyebrows subconsciously.

“Which scene?” Ling Tianya opened her mouth after a long pause.

Finally getting a response from Ling Tianya, Yi Tian put on a cute smile and walked up. She pointed to a scene that was the climax in the story. “This one.”

At that point the small body guard quickly grabbed a nearby chair and placed it next to Yi Tian. “Miss Yi, please sit down.”

Yi Tian was flattered and looked at the small bodyguard. “Thank you, you are very kind.”

The small body guard’s face turned red as he scratched his hair awkwardly. When he stood up, he met the inquisitive eyes of Ling Tianya. The small bodyguard lowered his eyes robotically and straightened his back.

The big bodyguard threw a warning gaze at the small bodyguard. Did the boy forget his place?

Yi Tian sat down and put the script in front of Ling Tianya. “Miss Ling, I think the line in this scene seems a bit unnecessary. Is it better to remove it?”

Ling Tianya only glanced at the script and didn’t give it another look, nor did she answer the question of Yi Tian.

Typically, a junior actor would just read whatever lines were given. They were not qualified to question the writer or the director, unless they were an experienced award-winning actor like Gu Zhiqian, which was another matter.

That’s why when Yi Tian said that, Zhang Ke’s face changed immediately. Every word in the script was carefully scrutinized by her mentor. “How is it possible you think something can be removed just because you said so?”

“Miss Ling, maybe let me act it out the way I see it, and you can react?”

Before Yi Tian could speak again, Ling Tianya just threw the script on the table. Yi Tian was stunned and looked at Ling Tianya in confusion. “Miss Ling…”

“Have you talked to the director about changing the lines?” Ling Tianya asked coldly.

Yi Tian nodded. “I told Director Zhang and he asked me to seek your approval. After all, this is your script.”

“Seeking my approval… What if I say no?” Ling Tianya glanced at Yi Tian dispassionately, and her eyes were filled with scorn.
