Chapter 163
They soon arrived at the hotel. Lynn had already arranged a room for them, so Stacey only needed to bring her luggage over and check in directly.
The actors who arrived there in advance also came to greet her after she finished arranging her belongings. Among them was Malcolm, the leading actor of “The Empress”
It had been a while since they saw each other after filming The Empress,” so this was a happy occasion for them.
Moreover, “The Empress” was going to be broadcast soon, so they were all anticipating the series‘ popularity.
After a short reunion, the most important thing was the script of the official recording. Yesterday, the crew of “Happy Little Mango” distributed the script to the cast. When they officially started to record the program, everyone had to perform according to the script so that the variety show could achieve the best effect.
In the room, Malcolm looked at Stacey with eyes shining brightly with excitement and anticipation. Then, he cautiously asked, “Becky, the script given by the crew is very lax. There’s no rule that we have to lose to the crew of ‘Rising Dragon: Can we beat them on our own?”
Stacey had already read the script. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
In fact, it was an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry that popular stars should be given leeway.
The leading actor in “Rising Dragon” was Charlie. With Charlie’s status, he should be given special treatment when the program crew of Happy Little Mango invited him. This was actually reflected in the script. The program crew would try their best to give Charlie more advantages in the script and give him the most chances to perform. Even if others have the strength to beat Charlie in the game, they must make room for him and not steal his “spotlight.”
However, the cast of “The Empress” was different. Becky was the leading actress in this series. The whole country knew that she was Charlie’s sister and that he spoiled her like crazy. Becky was his sister who had been lost years ago and had finally returned home.
Therefore, even if the cast of “The Empress” stole the spotlight of “Rising Dragon’s” cast during this recording, no one would scold them for not knowing how to behave toward their seniors On the contrary, because the two siblings appeared as competitors for the first time in front of the screen, they could also be used as a gimmick to attract more fans.
In the show, if two crews compete with each other with their own skills, some accidents caused by mutual conflict could also be a major highlight.
If the crew of “The Empress lost, people would say that their status was too far behind Charlie’s and it was normal for them to lose to a senior.

If they won, people could also say that Charlie spoiled his sister and deliberately let the fans enjoy their siblings‘ bond. This wouldn’t affect the reputation of the two crews, and the variety show’s rating should be high, which also served to the two TV series.
Therefore, they basically had no pressure during the recording of this program. As Charlie–explained to Stacey in the car, they could just relax and treat this as a leisure trip.
It took them a few days to finish recording this program leisurely
Even so, they needed to rehearse the games they’d be playing in the show in advance. There must be at least a tacit understanding within the team so that they could win.
While they were happy, Tina, the scriptwriter of “Her Majesty from Evergrande Entertainment, was in a bad mood because something happened to her.
br the original–novel “Her Majesty‘ was sued for plagiarism. In the beginning. Tina had no fear because Janet paid double for her manuscript. A portion of the payment could be used to pay for the fine, and the remaining money would still be a lot..
Tina was even somewhat proud and looked down on the origin author. After all, this was the current environment in the domestic entertainment industry.
However, her joy only lasted until today, and she could no longer laugh. It was because she was blacklisted.
She worked hard on the script for months and submitted it to a film company with full confidence but was directly rejected by major entertainment companies. The higher–ups said that the plagiarism accusation surrounding the script of “Her Majesty was too loud, so they labeled Tina as a bad screenwriter and blacklisted her. They would never use her script again.
Tina finally panicked. She had been writing scripts for almost ten years, and now she had no other ability except for screenwriting. She would’ve had no income if no one was willing to use her script. Her future was ruined.
Tina was so anxious that she finally went to find Janet under her friend’s reminder. It wasn’t her who wanted to plagiarize the work. It was Janet.
Tina thought about it and hurried home. She entered her study, opened the drawer, and took out a voice recorder.
During their first meeting. Tina didn’t know what Janet wanted to do and, therefore, didn’t collect evidence. In their later meetings, she prepared a voice recorder and secretly collected a lot of evidence just in case. She didn’t expect that something would really happen.
A few minutes later, Tina called Janet, but Janet didn’t want to talk to Tina.
Janet’s voice was cold, and she directly denied that she told Tina to plagiarize “The Empress.” Janet said impatiently, “I don’ know what you are talking about. You wrote the script yourself. What does it have to do with me? I can’t write a script!”
Tina directly and succinctly said, “I have a recording. I recorded our conversation where you asked me to plagiarize the script.
Janet’s expression changed when she heard this,
Tina directly said, Janet, let’s meet up. I think we should meet and have a good talk.”
Janet wanted to say something but was afraid that Tina would trick her. She finally shut up before saying. “Come find me.”
Janet gave Tina the address, and that afternoon, Tina came to find her. Tina didn’t even have a rest and dared not to. This was related to her future career and lifetime job.
She didn’t know what to do if she couldn’t be a screenwriter in the future. Her life would be over. Tuma was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
As soon as Tina entered the private room on the second floor of the coffee shop, Lisa walked over and checked her whole body. She even checked inside Tina’s clothes to make sure that bere was no voice recorder hidden. Then, she took Tina’s mobile phone away and let her sit down on the couch after checking that the phone’s recording function wasn’t turned on.
Instead of returning the phone to Tina, Lisa directly put the phone on the coffee table to ensure that this conversation wouldn’t be recorded.
After sitting down, Tina subconsciously reached out to take back her phone. However, Lisa suddenly reached out and blocked her hand.
Tina looked at Lisa, and Lisa also looked at Tina. A few seconds later, Tina withdrew her hand.
“What do you want?” asked Janet coldly.
