Chapter 275. Ending (1)
”Y-you are changing the ending?!”
CEO Pan of Wheel work productions stared at Director Chen Pu who was sitting in front of him and asked in a slightly shaky voice.
”Yeah, I told you I have some concerns about it.”
Director Chen Pu said in a carefree manner.
If any director had dared to say it after most of the shooting had finished, then he would surely be in a hot mess, but that doesn't apply to Director Chen Pu, who was one of 'golden directors' of China.
Moreover, Wheel works production has already invested too much in «Slayers» and all the power was in the hands of Director Chen Pu now.
Still, CEO Pan voiced out his concerns.
”I know your concerns, but what if the new ending made it worse. The original screenplay can make some of the viewers angry, but it's not that bad...”
CEO Pan drank a glass of water while saying that. He was already old and Director Chen Pu's antics were just forcing him on the path of a heart attack.
He was already in too much stress during the controversy with Na Wen.
After finishing a glass of water, he continued.
”Moreover, aren't you planning the sequel for «Slayers»? You planned the cliff ending for that, right?”
”Ah, well...”
Director Chen Pu awkwardly scratched his head hearing that. When CEO Pan glared at him, he turned his gaze away and replied.
”I was planning a sequel at first, but honestly, I'm tired of historical dramas now. I want to direct a romantic comedy next.”
”What the heck?? Do you understand that your 'romance' would be too old for today's generation?”
Director Chen Pu glared hearing that and quickly countered.
”Maybe, I'm old, but I can still think like the young generation. It's you who is the true old man here!!”
”What did you SAY...?!”
Both of them argued with each other like that. Two old men arguing with each other may seem childish, but these two were friends for decades.
It was just a normal conversation between them.
After going back and forth with each for a while, they finally calmed down. CEO Pan again opened his mouth and asked.
”So, there won't be a sequel to «Slayers»?”
”Sadly, no.”
Director Chen Pu said as he shook his head.
He had already decided on it and there was no going back for him now. CEO Pan very well knows that there is no one in the world who can convince him after he has come to a decision.
That's why, he just made a downcast expression and asked about the changed ending.
”So, how will the ending change? Don't tell me you would kill Xie Xian (The main character) in the end like those tragedies?”
”Don't worry, I won't do anything like that. The ending is perfect for Xie Xian. I just want to change it slightly to give a perfect ending to Cao Xu.”
”Cao Xu?”
CEO Pan tilted his head and asked.
He knew that Cao Xu was the character that Director Chen Pu had worked the hardest to create and it was also his favourite character in the whole drama.
But only CEO Pan knows this obviously.
