Ding Wanyu's departure did not affect the popularity of "No Bait" at Cannes.

The premiere of "No Bait" was a great success, and business partners came to visit one after another. Director Ning had to meet with different people every day to discuss the overseas copyright issues of "No Bait".

During this time, people from Shield Curtain Company also came to see Xiao He.

It seems that Xiao He's performance in "No Bait" made them see more of his value, and this time the conditions they offered were even more generous than before, showing that they really wanted to cooperate with Xiao He.

However, Xiao He wasn't stupid. He investigated the matter and, unsurprisingly, discovered the Yin-Yang script behind the Shield Curtain.

He appears to be the male lead, but he's actually the female lead's mascot.

These days, it's hard to make money at the box office both domestically and internationally. It's rare for them to "condescend" to ask him to expand the domestic market, but in the end, they still won't give him more screen time?

hehe.

Xiao He himself was so angry he laughed.

Since the Cannes Film Festival was coming to an end anyway, Xiao He declined Shield Screen's invitation again without any hesitation.

He didn't hold back at all and directly brought up the issue of the dual scripts.

The person in charge of communications, Temosch, finally looked grim: "How did you know about this?"

Xiao He looked at the foreigner in front of him meaningfully and said with a hint of mockery, "Mr. Temosch, there is an old Chinese saying, 'If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place.' Now I will pass on this saying to you."

Xiao He then put down the contract and got up to leave.

Only the ever-changing face of Temosh remains.

Who leaked the information?

Temosch was naturally furious at Xiao He's attitude at first, but the next thing he did was recall the suspects in his mind.

The secret of the dual scripts is basically known only to their own people, so a Chinese actor who has just arrived here naturally couldn't possibly know—that means there's a mole inside!

The larger the company, the more factions there are, and the more infighting there is; disagreements are the norm.

It's perfectly normal for Temosch to subconsciously suspect rivals within the company.

Although Shield Screen is a large and powerful company, its former glory has faded along with Hollywood, and they have to admit that they need to make some changes.

This led to the collaboration with other countries on "The Twelve Evils".

Evan, who was in charge of "The Twelve Evils," and Termosch had always been rivals in the company. When Termosch discovered that Evan was preparing to build a multinational production and transfer the risk, he naturally set his sights on the Chinese market. He even went so far as to break his principles and invite this Chinese actor to participate in the production team. This was because he happened to know that this Chinese actor had a conflict with Han Zaiyu, who was about to star in "The Twelve Evils."

He and Evan are mortal enemies, as are Xiao He and Han Zaiyu. This collaboration seems like a perfect fit!

Unfortunately, Xiao He refused.

—How outrageous! Such a big company, and that ungrateful Chinese guy actually dared to refuse!

However, there was no time to dwell on Xiao He's refusal to cooperate. Temosch immediately went back to investigate the people around him, determined to find the guy who betrayed him and leaked the information.

As a result, they actually caught two people!

So Termosch disregarded the Cannes Film Festival and took the traitors back home by plane, intending to deal with them properly upon their return.

As for Xiao He's matter, he had long since put it out of his mind.

Having finally resolved the issue with Temosch, Xiao He continued to attend various events and banquets at the film festival.

By this time, Xiao He was no longer an unknown figure. Many people who had read "No Bait" greeted him with smiles and even took the initiative to invite him to cooperate.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the closing ceremony of Cannes arrived—also the most important part of Cannes: the awards ceremony!
