In less than two days, the news that Lu Hao was being kept by a wealthy female businessman had spread throughout the internet.
Xue Fan watched with satisfaction as things unfolded exactly as he had planned, and then reminded his agent.
"Once Lu Hao terminates his contract with 'Butterfly in the Sea,' we must fight for this role."
"But it's been two days, and there's still no word from the 'Butterfly in the Sea' production team," Xue Fan's agent muttered in surprise.
Logically speaking, since Lu Hao was in a car accident and unable to join the filming crew, they should have terminated his contract.
However, they showed no intention of terminating the contract and were even willing to adjust the filming schedule, waiting for Lu Hao to recover from his injury and join the crew.
So they had to resort to some more shocking tactics.
The most important thing for a celebrity is their image in the eyes of fans and audiences. Now they have completely destroyed Lu Hao's image in the public's mind. If they want the movie to be filmed and released smoothly, they will have no choice but to terminate the contract of a tainted artist.
"Then let's add some more ingredients and see if they can still keep their cool?" Xue Fan said sinisterly.
He was determined to get the male lead role in "Butterfly in the Sea".
"Let's wait and see," the agent said.
After all, if you make it too obvious, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
In particular, the director of "Butterfly in the Sea" is someone they can't afford to offend.
"I've already waited so many days, how much longer do I have to wait?" Xue Fan said impatiently.
Given the success of Mu Weiwei's two previous films, everyone in the industry knows that "Butterfly in the Sea" is another masterpiece, and whoever gets the role in this film could become a legend.
He also submitted his application to audition for the male lead, but he didn't even pass the second round of auditions. Instead, Lu Hao, who was assigned to a supporting role, was chosen as the male lead.
“I know you’ve been waiting a long time, but you also know that the director of ‘Butterfly in the Sea’ is Mrs. Fu, and the producer is the third young master of the Fu family. If you go too far, you’ll get into trouble,” the agent kindly advised.
He's been in this business for quite some time now, and looking at all those who have offended Mrs. Fu and Young Master Fu, none of them have had a good ending.
In the past, they didn't need to go through so much trouble to get a role in a movie. They could either bring their own investment to the production team or cultivate good relationships with the director and producer, and it would be done very easily.
But this didn't work for "Butterfly in the Sea". They tried to bring their own funding to the production, but the production team didn't care about their small amount of money at all.
They need to build good relationships with the director and producers. They can't even get close to the Fu family, so how can they build good relationships with Mrs. Fu and the Third Young Master Fu?
Therefore, they had to go to great lengths to prevent Lu Hao from participating in "The Butterfly of the Sea" so that they could have a chance to win the role.
As the two were talking, the agent received a phone call, and his expression changed instantly.
"Something happened?"
Xue Fan frowned impatiently. "What is it now?"
“Some media outlets have reported that we orchestrated Lu Hao’s car accident, and the news that Lu Hao was being kept by a wealthy businesswoman also came from us…” the agent said, his face pale.
"Who did it?" Xue Fan pressed.
The agent thought for a moment and then said.
"Lu Hao definitely doesn't have that ability, so the only remaining possibility is Mrs. Fu and her family..."
Looking across China, who else but the Fu family could have brought these things to light in such a short time?
From the beginning, he felt that this was too risky. He was worried that if he didn't get the role, it would be a small matter, but he would also offend the wrong people, which would be a big problem.
Well, the thing he feared most has finally happened.
