Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Not taking Rong Yan seriously
âEstelle, letâs go,â Rong Yan said, without any sense of urgency, grabbing Estelleâs hand after having said her piece. She apologized to everyone with neither servility nor haughtiness and then left the set directly.
The producer didnât expect things to blow up like this and, with a suddenly pale face, chased after her, âRong Yan, waitâŠâ
Gao Yang, likewise, didnât expect Rong Yan to actually have the courage to just walk away. Furious and pale with anger, he vented, âThe tempers of stars these days are something else, huh? Is this her professional spirit? Huh! I was dissatisfied with her from the start of the shooting. In the beginning, she kept NGing, wasting so much of my time. You canât just talk about her with impunity. This kind of star, I donât ever want to see her in my movies again in the future!â
âAnd those friends in the circle who are close to me, Iâll give them a heads-up, to never use someone like her again! Ridiculous! Itâs absurd! Who I invite to support the film, do I need to explain that to her? Is she the director, or am I?!â
He raged backstage, and aside from Rong Weiwei occasionally offering him some âthoughtfulâ comfort, the other actors and the screenwriter, as if they hadnât yet snapped out of the âargument,â didnât utter a word or show any signs of support.
He was still venting his anger, talking about blacklisting Rong Yan and the like.
The producer who chased after her returned quickly, his face extremely unsightly as he approached the still-enraged man, stopping him, âWhat are you doing?! Do you have any idea who she isâŠâ
He wanted to mention her background.
Gao Yang, unconvinced, cut him off, speaking displeased, âI know what you want to say, that Rong Yan is just someone the Li Group shoved at us. Iâve known Mr. Wu from the Li Group for many years now, am I supposed to be scared of her? Today, I must replace her, donât worry, Iâll speak to KT Entertainment about this!â
Before Rong Yan joined the cast, he already knew she was placed there by the Li Group, but he never thought Rong Yan could be connected to someone very significant; at most, she was just a higher-up at Li Groupâs little lover they wanted to promote.
He himself had strong connections in the entertainment industry; it wasnât without the help of his familyâs connections that he got to where he was today.
He believed the people he knew were more powerful, which is why, even after his wife accepted Rong Weiweiâs pearl necklace, he heeded the pillow talk at home. Despite the news outside creating a stir, he still arranged for Rong Weiwei to be the secret guest at the premiere without even giving anyone else a heads-up.
Having decided to replace Rong Yan, he turned and asked Rong Weiwei directly, âWeiwei, do you have any openings in your schedule recently?â
The producer, infuriated, coldly watched him and said, âYou think knowing a director gives you the power to replace people? Iâll tell you, anyone in this film can be replaced. That includes the lead actor, the script, you, me! But you cannot replace the person you ordered not to attend the promotion!â
âWhat do you mean? Sheâs just a minor star, so what if she has a bit of background? Youâre making this sound too serious. Heh, like you say, replace all of us, why, do you want international stars, international directors, to be her supporting cast?â
He was already considered a top-tier director domestically, and he truly didnât think there were many who could take his place.
His original intention was to mock Rong Yan for being arrogant, but the producer didnât even pause to consider before saying, âYes, if she wishes, your so-called guest could even play a palace maid washing her feet in the movie!â
He paused for a moment, looking at the astonished and incredulous face before him, expressionless, he stated, âThat means both you and I would have to wash her feet in the movie if she asked us to!â
Because the person behind her was Li Shengxiao!
Was she, the girlfriend of that man, someone a director with just a little bit of influence could afford to bully?
