Qin Yulong looked at the director: "So, director, you didn't know about this?"
The director glanced at Dai Yang again and shook his head: "I really don't know about this. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have even heard of it. However, if both of you have no objections to some publicity, you can discuss it yourselves. I have no right to interfere with that, but I will not allow any other actions to affect the progress of the production."
“Okay,” Qin Yulong nodded, “As long as it wasn’t at your behest, Director. Of course, I also hope that this little incident today won’t delay your schedule. Actually, I think you did a great job directing, Director Chen. If there’s an opportunity, I hope you can collaborate with Sanzhong Culture more in the future.”
As Qin Yulong spoke, she extended her hand to the director again.
This time, the director took Qin Yulong's hand without any hesitation.
Qin Yulong quickly withdrew her hand: "Then I'll take my leave."
What followed was the scene where Wen Yan saw only Qin Yulong walking out.
After hearing Qin Yulong's explanation, Wen Yan narrowed her eyes.
"So, do you believe all the nonsense the director spouts?"
Qin Yulong scoffed: "Of course I don't believe it. When he first went in, he exchanged glances with Xu Letian's agent, and the two of them were obviously having a little secret. But considering that you'll be filming under his supervision for another month or so, I didn't expose their little tricks."
"So later you implied that Sanzhong wanted to work with him because you were afraid that he would make things difficult for me and pick on me during the subsequent filming, right? With your words, even if he doesn't like me because I'm not cooperative, he won't easily give up on Sanzhong's offer."
"Yes. Hype does have some benefits for promoting the show, but in the short term, the biggest beneficiary is Xu Letian. If a director wants people to remember his work, he should focus on the quality of the show, not the popularity of the male and female leads. His and Xu Letian's starting points seem to be the same, but they are actually different. I believe he knows how to weigh the pros and cons."
Wen Yan nodded.
Then he asked, "So did you really slap Dai Yang hard just now?"
"He brought it on himself."
"He's so shameless, your hand must have hurt quite a bit back then, right?"
"Ha," Qin Yulong chuckled, "I thought you were going to tell me not to make the first move."
"Whatever, the fight's already happened. But you shouldn't have used your hands; you should have used a bag."
Qin Yulong nodded: "I didn't think that much about it at the time."
"Are you still in pain now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it's still a little hot. My whole palm was burning when I first touched it."
"Here, take my thermos. Although it's filled with hot water, the stainless steel exterior is really cold, so I'll let you cool it down."
"Thanks."
"I don't know what Dai Yang and the director were talking about inside, it's been so long since they came out."
Qin Yulong also looked in the direction Wen Yan's gaze was directed.
"I don't know, but I believe the director will make a choice that is in his favor."
Inside the shed.
Dai Yang pressed the director, "Senior, what did you mean by that just now? Did that crazy woman bribe you with just one sentence? You can't believe her. She slapped me just now, you know! She was so arrogant."
"She's now the boss of Fu's Entertainment, no, I should say Sanzhong Culture. If we're the workers, then she's the capital, and capital naturally has a higher level of arrogance than us. I'm not trying to criticize you two!"
The director pointed at Dai Yang, then at the assistant director.
"Are you all brainless? Wen Yan has already clearly rejected you, why do you keep repeating it?"
"Well... I thought she was easy to talk to, right?" the assistant director explained in a low voice. "Besides, her reputation online hasn't been very good lately. There are even rumors that she's a lesbian. It would be good to create a CP with a young heartthrob, but I didn't expect her to be so disgusted."
"And what about you?" the director asked Dai Yang. "She's already so disgusted with you, why did you still go and provoke her agent? You read entertainment news every day, don't you know that Qin Yulong is now the owner of an entertainment company?"
“I saw it, but even top stars do hype. So what if she's the owner of an entertainment company? And even if she's the owner, her future is uncertain. What's exposed online is her status as the legal representative. What does being the legal representative mean? I don't believe her artists will never do hype or have any scandals with anyone! Besides, she said she's going abroad to handle family matters and won't be in the country. Since she's leaving soon, I'll definitely take advantage of her being on set to have a face-to-face talk with her.”
"I don't care, this matter ends here. You should know how turbulent her career is if you're after Wen Yan's popularity. Don't let my film be ruined by your publicity stunt before it's even finished!"
"What about that woman surnamed Qin who slapped me?" Dai Yang was furious just thinking about it. "That damn shrew, she came up and slapped me right away, I was so angry I was stunned."
"So what do you want, to hit back? This slap mark has long since disappeared, and even if you call the police, they won't be able to find any injury. Who told you to touch her first and grab her?"
Dai Yang's eyes widened: "Senior brother? I think you're siding with that woman surnamed Qin?"
“I’m not taking sides, I’m just telling you to stop now. I know these past two years have been tough for you too. Xu Letian’s popularity is clearly not what it used to be. Since the Qin guy and Wen Yan are tough nuts to crack, you should think of other ways. Right now, you don’t have anyone else who can rise to the occasion besides Xu Letian. You really should step up your game.”
