Chapter 88 The Eighty-Eighth Melon Goes Crazy
It was the middle of the night. Ding Xiaoran was wearing a set of white pajamas and was about to go to sleep when he heard a rather rude knock on the door. He originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, thinking it was just some boring illegitimate child or something, but the sound was so loud that he couldn't help but take a look.
When he saw it was Li Wei, he was stunned for a moment, then felt a little proud. She came to him at this time, probably to surrender to him.
The person Ding Xiaoran dislikes most in the crew is Li Wei. She always acts superior. So what if she is a popular young actress? She still has to support him. Today she even dared to be rude to him. It's a good time to teach her a lesson and let her know who is the boss of the crew.
Thinking so, Ding Xiaoran opened the door casually, but before the door could be fully opened, it was pushed open by someone from the outside.
Ding Xiaoran was almost knocked down and took several steps back in panic.
"The suite is spacious, and it must be very comfortable to stay in."
Li Wei walked into the room, looked around, and then walked over and sat down on the sofa.
Ding Xiaoran didn't know what Li Wei meant. He looked past her and glanced at the producer behind him. The producer spread his hands and said that he didn't know what this girl was crazy about.
Not getting an answer, Ding Xiaoran looked at Li Wei in a daze. He originally thought that she came to surrender to him, but now her attitude was very tough. For a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"You've been on the crew for a while now, but you've filmed so few scenes. You don't memorize your lines or your movements, and you're constantly asking for leave. You've wasted so much of my time. You should voluntarily withdraw. I don't think you're suitable for this drama."
"What do you mean? Why should I listen to you?"
Hearing Li Wei's straightforward words, Ding Xiaoran's face suddenly changed, and the humility and politeness he usually maintained disappeared in an instant. He frowned and stared at Li Wei, wanting to see what Li Wei was relying on.
"That's what I meant. I'm going to give you some face, so you're withdrawing on your own initiative. Honestly, you joined this group just to boost their profile and suck their blood. I've been used to being a blood bag for years. What do people say about me? 'Lucky wife,' and whichever actor I work with becomes famous. Isn't that what you're after? But let me tell you, I'm willing to be sucked away, but not everyone can get that chance. If you don't cherish the opportunity, it will slip away. I don't want to work with you anymore."
As Li Wei spoke, she took out her phone, opened a photo of Ding Xiaoran and Chen Xiangdong, and waved it in front of him.
"That's what you're relying on, right? Mr. Chen is so kind to you. Even a fool like you is willing to give you such good resources. However, I wonder if Mrs. Chen would have any objections if she saw these photos. Do you think she would scratch your pretty face to stop you from causing trouble?"
The producer probably didn't expect to hear this, so he quickly turned around and closed the door.
"Don't go too far. There's nothing wrong between Mr. Chen and me. We have no relationship at all."
The photo was blurry and not very clear, but Ding Xiaoran knew it and panicked. He didn't know if Li Wei had any other photos in her hands, so he could only deny it with gritted teeth.
"Sister Weiwei, replacing someone is no small matter. If Xiao Ding isn't doing well here, just let him correct it. We should give young people more opportunities. Xiao Ding will definitely perform well in the future."
The producer quickly winked at Ding Xiaoran, asking her why she was still arguing with him at this time.
"Yes, I will definitely cooperate and act well in the future. I was wrong this time and I apologize to you." Ding Xiaoran gritted his teeth and gave in.
"If you want to apologize, then kneel down. If you don't kneel down, how can you be called sincere?"
Li Wei raised her chin. The living room was very spacious, more than enough for her to kowtow.
"Don't go too far." Ding Xiaoran clenched his fists. He could not imagine that the woman in front of him was such a bad person. It seemed that her acting skills were also outstanding. The goddess, jade girl, and elegance were all bullshit.
She is a shrew!
"Okay, looks like the negotiations broke down. I'll just have to have a good chat with Mrs. Chen. Oh, and I won't be filming the rest of the scenes. I'm going to sue the entire crew for fraud. There are so many artists suing lately, and going to the court for team building is a good idea. It's quite interesting to think about it."
"No, everything can be negotiated. It's just a matter of changing actors. I'll talk to the company. Don't hurt the relationship."
After hearing this, the producer had no time to care about Ding Xiaoran. If Li Wei really wanted to make a fuss, they would have a hard time standing their ground. There were always some loopholes in the contract, and if they were really serious about it, they could find a lot of problems.
"Well, my request is simple: replace Ding Xiaoran. Also, call the screenwriter over. I want to revise the script and remove all the highlights that were forcefully added to the male lead. You guys accused me of bullying on the set, and I feel like I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't do something about it."
Li Wei stood up. She looked at Ding Xiaoran who was standing there silently, and reached out to help him tidy up his clothes.
"Little brother, if you want to get involved in this, be humble and take it slow, step by step. If you take too big a step, you'll get hurt. Even though you don't seem to need it, you still need to maintain some maintenance, right? By the way, I'm a very particular person. If you give me a trending search, I'll give you one in return. Don't hide under the covers and cry when you see me later."
After Li Wei finished speaking, she turned and walked out. The producer glanced at Ding Xiaoran, then looked at Li Wei, and went after her.
"Sister Weiwei, Sister Weiwei, why are you so angry this time? Aren't you a very good-tempered person?"
"My good temper is just for the investors. I smile at whoever benefits me. I make whoever wants me to cry cry too. You guys, Fangtang, really don't know how to do things. You pick up the bowl to eat, and then put it down and curse. You want to suck my blood, but at least try to coax me a little. Replace the person tomorrow and send the revised script to my room, otherwise we'll meet in court. I'm telling you, Mr. Chen, you have to be discerning when promoting people, and don't embarrass yourself by bringing out all the trash."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It felt so good to go crazy occasionally!
"Sister Weiwei, you, you are making things difficult for me."
"Well, if it's difficult, I'll print the photos and post them on your company building. Haven't you learned that only women and villains are difficult to raise?"
Li Wei returned to the room, and the producer wanted to follow her in, but the door slammed shut, and the producer's nose was almost hit.
After returning to the room, Li Wei transferred another large sum of money to Xu Qingye.
Li Wei: Please help me put Ding Xiaoran on the hot search, just the part about his bad acting is enough. The way he apologized lightly without being able to utter a word is really disgusting. By the way, he took leave a few days ago, and he was like this when he just came back today, just tell the truth!
Xu Qingye was about to fall asleep again when he was suddenly awakened by the money. Li Wei transferred three million to him.
Xu Qingye: It seems that the things I sent you are very useful to you.
Li Wei: Well, I went to his house with the photos and told him to get out. I said if he didn’t leave, I would send the photos to Chen Xiangdong’s wife and post them on the Sugar Cube Building. Actually, the photos were nothing special, but I saw that he felt guilty.
Sometimes negotiations are all about psychological warfare.
Li Wei was still a little excited. When she first debuted, actresses were all the cold and aloof white moonlight type, they had to be pure, gentle, and detached from the world. She had forced herself to play the role of a fairy in her life, and she had been feeling very aggrieved over the years. Today, she suddenly realized that those who were gentle and good-tempered were the ones who were punched. She would be herself in the future, like a bazooka, exploding from time to time. If she was not happy, no one else would be happy.
Now that she was happy, she wanted Xu Qingye to be happy too.
Li Wei: Is the money enough? If not, I can give you some more.
Xu Qingye looked at the message in silence for a while, not knowing what to say.
It’s a bit too much money.
Li Wei: You are still in City C, right? I will come to see you tomorrow and we can talk.
Xu Qingye replied with an "okay", got up, cut a video and updated it with his "Chigua" account. The one who pays is the boss, so the boss must provide good service.
The melon-eating girl Xu Cuihua: If it were me, I would also scold him. He parachuted in as the male lead, asked for leave, didn't remember his words, and looked so playful and frivolous that he deserved a beating! I can only say that this beautiful woman is really miserable! [Video]
Li Wei's bullying video is still on the hot search, and Xu Qingye's video immediately became popular. The previous video only included the part where Li Wei was angry. Because there was no sound, it was impossible to know what Li Wei was saying.
The video posted by Xu Qingye is much longer and comes with subtitles and original sound. Although it is not very clear to hear, you can understand it immediately with the help of the subtitles.
In the video, two people were filming a scene. Li Wei was reciting her lines with great emotion, but the other party couldn't follow her after she finished speaking. After stuttering for a few words, she immediately looked at the camera and said that she had forgotten her lines.
This situation repeated several times, and the lightness in his apology every time was really annoying.
Today's Flower: When the official cast was announced, I was wondering where they got this 18-line blood-sucking thief from. It's really terrible. He can't even remember the lines but still sticks out his tongue to act cute. Does he really think he's cute?
Read 1111: If it were me, I would have punched her. Sister Weiwei is such a beautiful and kind person.
Love to see your smile: I told you before that this guy is so annoying. I don’t know what he did the night before, he was out the whole time. He was late this morning too. The crew waited for him for more than an hour before starting filming, and he didn’t even read his lines. If it were me, I would just slap him twice, but just scolding him is really too easy for him.
······
Li Wei’s fans have been feeling aggrieved for a long time, and Li Wei’s studio has also been criticized for a long time. They always give her bad dramas, and it’s okay that she is being drained every time. At least the artists she worked with before were okay, and they all had names. This time it’s really too exaggerated. An 18th-tier actor dares to play the male lead in an S+ drama!
Occasionally, Ding Xiaoran’s fans would come out and say that they should give newcomers more opportunities and that it is normal for newcomers to have many NGs. Unfortunately, they were drowned out by various comments.
Xu Qingye bought a lot of popularity to keep himself on the hot search list. After that, he simply turned off his phone. He had been woken up twice today, and if he didn't go to sleep, it would be dawn.
Xu Qingye slept soundly until the afternoon. The work on "Pin Jiangshan" was stopped because the protagonist was unhappy and they were trying hard to negotiate.
Li Wei stayed in the hotel and didn't go anywhere. Ding Xiaoran disappeared early in the morning. I heard that he left in anger.
The atmosphere on the set was tense and the producer was extremely busy. I didn't know how he communicated with the company. In the afternoon, the official Weibo of "Pin Jiangshan" released a notice of termination of contract with Ding Xiaoran, and stated that they would find a suitable actor to reshoot as soon as possible.
In the evening, the revised script was also delivered to Li Wei's room.
"Sister Weiwei, if there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can change it according to your ideas."
The producer was a bit flattering, and as soon as something happened, an investor immediately put pressure on Fang Tang. After a little inquiry, I found out that the boss of the investor was Li Wei's boyfriend.
Why didn’t Li Wei tell you earlier that she had these connections?
"Let's just leave it at that. The original version was great. Don't change the script so carelessly in the future. You tricked me into coming here and then changed the script back to the original version. Do you really think I have no temper? I was thinking I'd just put up with it, but the other actor is so stupid that I can't stand it."
"As long as you're satisfied, please talk to President Wen and ask him not to make things too difficult for us."
"What does it have to do with him? I didn't look for him."
Li Wei was a little confused. Wen Cheng was her new boyfriend and they were not very familiar with each other. She only talked about feelings and nothing else with him, and she didn't know how long the relationship would last. Li Wei didn't want to have too much interaction with him, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting him at work if they broke up in the future because of incompatibility.
"Maybe President Wen saw the trending search and felt sorry for you. President Wen is such a good man." The producer smiled awkwardly, but the meaning was conveyed.
"Got it. I'll take a break these few days since I have nothing to do. Please let me know when it's back on."
After Li Wei finished speaking, she dropped the script and picked up her bag to go out. The assistant hurriedly followed her and did not forget to ask the producer to leave when she reached the door.
Li Wei called Xu Qingye as soon as she left the hotel. She wanted to have a drink today, so she made an appointment with him at a bar run by a friend. She cleared the place so that only she and Xu Qingye were there.
