Freelance screenwriter Shen Zhixia spent two years creating his first original star-rated drama.
On the day of the project establishment meeting, the person sitting at Party A's table was her ex-boyfriend Fu Yanxing, who had humiliated her two years ago by saying, "Does anyone read what you wrote?" And then she moved out of the apartment overnight.
She thought he was cast in this drama to either prove that she was no good or to use an old relationship to force her into submission.
But he didn't.
He listened carefully to her talk during meetings, and found excuses to stay for an extra five minutes after the meeting. Every question he asked could only be asked by someone who had actually read her manuscript. Her signature was pushed to second place, and he didn't say a word for her in front of unrelated people, but the storm quietly subsided on his side.
She couldn't tell more and more whether he was chasing someone or paying off a debt.
——Until she finally understood: She didn't need his approval to stand firm in this industry.
