Chapter 243 Accusation
"Director Zhang, why did you change my original role?" Huang Shengyi was furious at this moment, his voice trembling slightly.
She received a notice that her original announcer role in "The Founding of a Republic" was temporarily replaced by a group role with only one line and a few seconds of screen time.
This shocked her greatly, but facing the production director of the crew, she still suppressed her emotions and tried to control her anger.
"I am just following the rules and informing you of Director Han's decision. If you have any objections, you can talk to the director."
Director Zhang had a blank expression on his face, and his tone was as cold as a pool of stagnant water. He seemed somewhat disapproving of the excited performance of the female star in front of him.
It's not the first day he entered the entertainment industry, so it's normal for his role to be replaced. Besides, it wasn't an important role originally, so there's nothing to be surprised about being replaced.
Huang Shengyi bit her lower lip, and her originally pretty face looked a little ferocious. Even if she was asked to question Han Sanping, she would not dare to do so even if she had ten times the courage.
After notifying the main person, Director Zhang was about to leave. The crew had just started filming and there were a lot of things to do. As the production director, he didn't have the time to waste here.
"Director Zhang, please stay. I want to ask you, who stole my role?"
Huang Shengyi looked unwilling, thinking that Han Sanping would never target her for no reason, and that someone must be behind this and wanted to steal her role.
"The announcer role was assigned to Liu Shishi. Also, Mr. Huang, please be careful with your words in the crew. The director hires people to serve the role, there is no such thing as snatching."
Director Zhang narrowed his eyes and gave a reminder, then turned and left without looking back, leaving Huang Shengyi standing there alone.
"Liu Shishi!" Huang Shengyi gritted her teeth and pronounced the name, sneering at what the director of production had just said. Some historical characters may need to consider the image issue.
But his original role as the announcer was a fictional character, and any celebrity could play the role. How could the replacement be for the so-called role service? It was obvious that someone was behind this.
Although she secretly hated the other party for stealing her role, the director had already made the decision and she did not have the courage to make trouble. This matter certainly could not be changed. She had a lot of anger and grievances but nowhere to vent them, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Huang Shengyi was worried and walked to a secluded place. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she took out her cell phone and prepared to ask her husband Yangzi how to deal with the matter.
"Hey, husband."
"Wife, is everything going well on the set?"
Huang Shengyi felt much more relaxed when she heard her husband's voice. She and Yangzi got secretly married last year, and they were newlyweds, and their relationship was as sweet as honey.
“My role was taken away from me.”
"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Yangzi asked quickly.
In order to get a role in "The Founding of a Republic", Huang Shengyi almost lost the opportunity to participate in the Hollywood blockbuster "The Adventures of Wushan".
Now that the role has been taken away, all the previous efforts have been in vain.
Huang Shengyi frustratedly told her husband the whole story, and then asked expectantly, "Husband, is there any connection at home that can help me get back together?"
Yangzi was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. After thinking it over, he couldn't come up with any good ideas.
Since Han Sanping has already spoken, it cannot be changed. If it were an ordinary crew, they could still make a fuss, but making trouble in the crew of "Founding of a Republic" is undoubtedly courting death and will definitely be banned.
As for the family connections that Huang Shengyi was counting on, it was even more unrealistic. Although his family's Power Group was a quasi-listed company and the national leader in rigging, it had nothing to do with the entertainment industry and could not help at all.
"We have to swallow this loss temporarily. It's fine if we lose a minor supporting role, but we have to get revenge. Otherwise, if we step on everyone in the future, how can we survive in the industry?"
Yangzi's tone was grim. Even though the matter was done and he could do nothing to get the role back, if he didn't take any action when his wife was bullied, people would think he was a good-tempered rich second-generation boy!
Huang Shengyi's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he was shocked: "How to retaliate?"
Yangzi did not act rashly and said, "Don't worry, I'll check this Liu Shishi first, you can ask around in the crew."
After the couple ended their call, Huang Shengyi wandered around the crew aimlessly, while Yangzi began searching the Internet for any information about Liu Shishi.
In the president's office of Juli Media, Yangzi sat on a leather chair, his fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, the light from the screen illuminating his focused face.
As the search engine continued to pop up news related to Liu Shishi, Yangzi frowned and his originally calm expression gradually became serious.
He found that this Liu Shishi seemed a little difficult to deal with.
Since entering the entertainment industry, the other party has basically been filming dramas for Tengda Culture and Tangren Film and Television. He has very few interactions with the complex and chaotic entertainment industry, and his network of contacts is relatively simple, making it difficult to find a breakthrough in terms of personal connections.
Not only that, after a careful search, he was surprised to find that there was actually no black material about Liu Shishi. She was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and there was absolutely no handle that could be used to attack her.
What is most difficult for Yangzi is that Liu Shishi has a very close relationship with the senior management of Tengda Group.
The Tenda Group controls the Internet's public opinion front. Anything related to it deserves excessive attention.
"This is difficult! We need to think of a good solution." Yangzi whispered to himself.
He knew in his heart that it was not difficult to deal with Liu Shishi. At most, he could use the usual tactics used in the entertainment industry and throw dirty water on her and make up black material. Anyway, netizens were just a group of people who followed the crowd and had no opinions of their own.
But this time the role-grabbing issue involved Han Sanping, who had to successfully confront Liu Shishi without involving the "Founding of a Republic" crew, which made it very difficult.
Yangzi calmed down and carefully studied Liu Shishi's past experiences, scanning the computer screen line by line without missing any details.
When I saw some of the previous records on Weibo, a plan came to my mind. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since it is difficult to make a breakthrough head-on, I might as well magnify the conflict and find more helpers to "gang up on her" so that she would have no way to defend herself.
It was past seven in the evening and night fell quietly. At Jingyuan's home, Liu Shishi, who had just returned home from the Huairou Film and Television Base, was enjoying a warm dinner with her fiancé.
On the dining table, there were several plates of exquisite dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, with good color, aroma and taste. In a porcelain bowl nearby, there was steaming Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and the faint sweet fragrance filled the entire restaurant.
Holding a soup spoon, Song Ci tasted the Tremella and lotus seed soup while listening to Liu Shishi's enthusiastic narration of the crew's experiences.
"Yi Yi, I got the autographs of teachers Chen Daoming and Tang Guoqiang today, and took photos with them."
"Mom is so happy now, she got the autograph of her idol."
"There are so many celebrities in the crew of "The Founding of a Republic". There are more than 60 people whose names I can name, and there are some I don't know."
"The director explains the scenes to the protagonists, and the other way around can happen at any time, with the actors explaining the scenes to the director, or giving instructions to each other, striving for perfection. That kind of atmosphere is very magical."
Miss Liu was beaming with joy. She was very happy. She had been talking non-stop since the start of the meal, wanting to share every wonderful moment of the crew with Song Ci.
"And Tong Dawei, I hope I can recommend him to the crew of "Du Lala's Promotion"."
"Tong Dawei wants to act in this drama?" Song Ci was slightly stunned.
Somehow, the images of Tong Dawei and Huang Xuan emerged in my mind. Their images of deep hatred and deep suffering in film and television works. As soon as they appear, the audience can guess that they are the most tragic and miserable characters in the whole play.
Seeing Mr. Song in a daze, Miss Liu tilted her head in confusion: "What's wrong, dear, do you think Tong Dawei is not suitable?"
"I can act, but I'm afraid this drama will turn into a sad drama." Song Ci chuckled, scooped another spoonful of soup into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction, "This soup is good, and the taste is very mellow."
"Then I'll serve you another bowl." Liu Shishi stood up and took the soup bowl, then served her fiancé another bowl and placed it gently in front of him. "If you like it, eat more. Sister Li said that this soup took an entire afternoon to cook, and it's cooked to perfection."
Song Ci chewed the food slowly and put down his chopsticks. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what role did Mr. Han arrange for you to play? Is it a historical figure?"
"How could it be my turn to play a real historical figure?" Liu Shishi shook her head slightly. "It's a female announcer. Although I have a small role, I have close-up shots and a few lines, which is not bad for me."
"You should prepare well and don't let Mr. Han down."
"Of course. I will be reciting my lines in the study tonight. Please don't disturb me."
Seeing his fiancée's determination to work hard, Song Ci couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll also read the materials, and we can learn and improve together."
At this time, the housekeeper Sister Li hurried into the restaurant with a mobile phone in her hand: "Madam, your phone is ringing."
Liu Shishi hurriedly took the phone and answered the call immediately when she saw it was Cai Yinong calling.
"Shishi, are you still in the crew?"
Cai Yinong's voice sounded a little anxious. Liu Shishi was startled and didn't understand why. "I'm at home now, having dinner with my husband. What's wrong, Sister K?"
"Boss Song is here too!" Hearing Song Ci standing by, Cai Yinong's anxious mood instantly calmed down, "You asked Boss Song to snatch Huang Shengyi's role?"
"What a mess?" Liu Shishi glanced at Mr. Song, her face becoming more and more puzzled. "I have never dealt with her, how can I steal her role?"
At this moment, Cai Yinong, who was far away in the East China Sea, thought to himself, you didn't take the initiative to speak, but your man helped you to get everything done.
However, when she thought of Song Ci being with Sister Yi, she had to hold back these words.
Just now, she saw Huang Shengyi's long blog post on Weibo accusing her own top actress, and subconsciously thought that it was Song Ci who stepped in to help Liu Shishi snatch the role.
Seeing Miss Liu's expression change slightly, revealing a trace of confusion and grievance, Song Ci opened her mouth and ordered, "Turn on the speakerphone, let me listen to what's going on too."
Sister Yi turned on the speakerphone when she heard this: "Sister K, I've turned on the speakerphone, please explain the situation clearly."
"Huang Shengyi posted a long blog post on Weibo an hour ago to accuse me." Cai Yinong cleared his throat and began to speak clearly:
"It basically means that my original role in The Founding of a Republic was replaced by a popular young actress named Liu.
Since her debut, this young actress has been grabbing roles and endorsements, playing the second female lead and outshining the first female lead, and making guest appearances in other crews for a week, stealing the show and outshining this and that.
He has always been domineering because of his background, and this time he used his connections to seduce the director and snatch her role.”
Cai Yinong spoke very fast, but every word he said was extremely clear, and the lady on the other end of the phone could hear it clearly.
Liu Shishi's face instantly turned red with anger, and she couldn't help but scold: "Huang Shengyi is talking nonsense! When did I steal her role? And what she said is all fabricated.
I fought for the endorsements based on my own strength. As for the fact that I was the most beautiful woman in the filming of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, that was said by Director Yu Min, not by me. The press release was also issued by Producer Zhang, so what does it have to do with me? "
Miss Liu became more and more excited as she spoke, her chest heaving violently. She wished she could get to Huang Shengyi immediately and ask her face to face why she had slandered her.
Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still any longer and went upstairs to go online and check Weibo to see what was going on.
"Sit down and eat first." Song Ci's calm and powerful words made Miss Liu, who had just stood up, sit down again.
"Shishi, this soup is really good, you should try it too." Song Ci smiled and slowly scooped a bowl of soup for Sister Yi, "Don't worry, it's just a small thing."
He knew the whole story as soon as he heard it. It must be that Han Sanping gave the role originally promised to Huang Shengyi to Miss Liu in order to repay a favor. Although it was not their initiative to ask for it, it was very likely that Miss Liu had to bear the blame.
Mr. Song's calmness and indifference were like a good medicine, which calmed Liu Shishi's anger a little.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she has always had a feeling of superiority towards other female stars in the entertainment industry. Everything you are fighting hard to get is easily available to me.
It is this calm mentality that has prevented her from actively fighting for anything. Otherwise, her husband is the richest man and he would have access to all the resources in the entertainment industry.
That's why she was so angry when she heard what Sister K said just now, and felt that her innocence was being slandered for no reason.
"Boss Cai, you are Shishi's agent, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
When Cai Yinong heard Song Ci's question, he was silent for a moment, as if he was choosing his words: "Mr. Song, did you step in to snatch Huang Shengyi's role?"
Song Ci asked back, "Does it make sense to ask me this? The entertainment industry has always been highly competitive, and it's common for people to flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and snatch roles. Even if I snatch it, what can I do?"
His words revealed an unparalleled arrogance and self-confidence. In his opinion, Han Sanping gave the role to his own girl Liu, which obviously showed that he didn't care about a small role like Huang Shengyi. Then why should he, the richest man in mainland China and the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry, care about it?
"I am shallow. I was just too concerned and worried that this incident would affect Shishi's reputation."
Song Ci nodded and said, “I will not interfere in this matter. You Tang people should think about how to deal with it.
As Shishi becomes more and more popular, conflicts of interest in the entertainment industry are inevitable, and rumors and slander from rivals will surely follow. Mr. Cai, you must plan ahead and handle this properly. "
