The man ignored her and instead said to the director, "There are many talented child stars in the entertainment industry. Shouldn't you consider replacing her? The female lead's scenes as a child certainly won't be many. Even if you replace her now, it won't affect the film's shooting schedule."

Director Yu hesitated a bit.

Even if, as Xiong Yuyi's father said, there are indeed quite a few child stars in the entertainment industry, and the female lead's role as a child was indeed not very large, the decision to cast Qi Tian was made after he had scouted many child actors.

Furthermore, Qi Tian's performance during filming proved that his decision was correct; Qi Tian acted quite well.

Seeing that Director Yu was hesitating, the man continued, "This is my daughter's debut film. I don't want the behavior of some people who are praising the powerful while criticizing the weak to be exposed when the film is released, which would affect the film's reputation. I believe that's not what Director Yu wants to see either."

Director Yu was starting to waver.

They had overheard most of what Yuan Zi and Xiong Yuyi had said.

Although she had long seen through Yuan Zi's personality, there were many people like that in the entertainment industry. As long as it didn't affect his movie, he definitely wouldn't interfere.

But who told Yuan Zi to bully the daughter of his film's investor!

“Okay, I know what to do,” Director Yu said.

The man nodded, then said to Xiong Yuyi, "Others are bullying you, aren't you going to fight back?"

"I was just about to retaliate when you showed up." Xiong Yuyi pouted and said coquettishly, "Dad, didn't you say you didn't have time to visit me on set?"

“I invested tens of millions. Even if I don’t come to visit you on set, I still have to see how the movie is going. I can’t let my money go to waste.”

Even if Yuan Zi didn't understand before, she now understood what was going on.

It turns out this man is Xiong Yuyi's father! And Xiong Yuyi's father invested tens of millions in "Spark"!!

No wonder Xiong Yuyi was able to play important supporting roles right from her debut!

She just now—!

And there was the conversation between Director Yu and Xiong Yuyi's father just now—!!

Are they going to replace Qi Tian?!

No way!! Filming has been going on for almost two weeks, we can't replace her sweetheart now!!

"Director Yu, Mr. Xiong... Mr. Xiong..." Yuan Zi hurriedly went over.

However, neither of the men wanted to look at her again and turned to leave.

Xiong Yuyi gestured to Chi Naozhi with the cheese stick in her hand: "Thank you for the cheese stick!"

Then she followed her father.

In a panic, Yuan Zi grabbed Qi Tian and caught up with them: "Director Yu, President Xiong, are you trying to replace my Tian Tian? My Tian Tian's acting is so good, you'll have a hard time finding a more suitable actress if you replace her. I didn't mean anything by it..."

Yuan Zi's panicked voice faded into the distance...

Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi, who had been forced to watch a play, finally came to their senses and exchanged a glance.

"Mom, what just happened? What did that pretty girl's dad and the director uncle mean by what they said?" Chi Nao was completely confused and didn't understand at all.

Qin Yuanyao gave Chi Nao a simple explanation.

Chi Naozi understood a little: "That pretty young lady's dad is just like my dad, he can solve some things with money, right?"

Qin Yuanyao: "..."

This summary is truly insightful and to the point.

Just as Qin Yuanyao was about to nod, she suddenly remembered something.

"Cheese, I know why there's no Sweetie in the 'Spark' you'll see ten years from now."

"Why?" Chi Nao asked, tilting her head.

"Initially, the role that the female lead played when she was a child was indeed Tian Tian, ​​but because of some things that happened, such as something similar to today, Tian Tian was replaced."

Chi Nao suddenly realized: "In the movie 'Spark,' which was filmed ten years later, Tian Tian was replaced because her mother bullied others?"

Qin Yuanyao nodded: "Yes, that should be it."

Therefore, there is no butterfly effect.

Ten years later, in the film "Spark," Qi Tian was definitely implicated by her mother's actions, which led to her being replaced, just like today.

Poor Qi Tian, ​​she was well-behaved, hardworking, and had good acting skills, but she was replaced because of Yuan Zi.

...

The production team responded to the investor's single sentence on the same day.

That afternoon, Director Yu told Yuan Zi and Qi Tian to pack their things and leave, and at the same time asked the casting director to quickly select suitable child actors.

Everyone in the crew is gossiping about this.

Upon learning that Yuan Zi had verbally abused the investor's daughter, Xiong Yuyi, and that the investor had asked Director Yu to replace her, everyone felt both shocked and secretly pleased.

This is the first time everyone has learned that Xiong Yuyi's father is one of the investors in this movie.

The production team had never mentioned this matter internally or externally before, and Xiong Yuyi herself had never said anything about it either. She acted just like the other child actors and had a good relationship with them. It was really hard to tell that she was actually a rich heiress.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they hadn't looked down on Xiong Yuyi before; otherwise, they would have been the ones to lose their roles.

What everyone was secretly pleased about was that they had long disliked Yuan Zi, but because Qi Tian was indeed a good actress and more famous than them, they couldn't do anything to Yuan Zi, and they didn't even have the capital to talk back to her.

This time, Yuan Zi ran into a tough nut and got her punished. It really is a case of karma coming full circle!

After Qi Tian was replaced, Yuan Zi dragged Qi Tian to confront Director Yu several times, begging him to be lenient and not replace Qi Tian.

Director Yu ignored her completely, not wanting to waste his time on her at all.

After failing to persuade Director Yu, Yuan Zi went to confront Xiong Yuyi, hoping that Xiong Yuyi would forgive her and talk to her father, asking him not to replace Qi Tian.

Yuan Zi even knelt down before Xiong Yuyi, begging her.

Xiong Yuyi remained unmoved. She had seen plenty of opportunists like Yuan Zi.

Yuan Zi not only knelt down herself, but also pulled Qi Tian down to kneel down as well.

Qi Tian didn't understand; she only knew that she had lost her role, and only in this way could she get her lost role back.

She knelt down in a daze.

Xiong Yuyi remained unmoved by Yuan Zi, who was kneeling before her as if she had given up all dignity.

“The person you unjustly berated this time happens to be me. If it were any other unknown actor without connections, would you still kneel down like this, would you still regret it like this? You wouldn’t. You don’t need to play the victim in front of me. I’ve seen plenty of people like you. I know you don’t really think you did anything wrong. You just feel that you were wrong for not finding out sooner that my dad is an investor.”

After saying that, Xiong Yuyi left without looking back.

Seeing that pleading with Xiong Yuyi was futile, Yuan Zi, having exhausted all other options, went to confront Qin Yuanyao.
