"He's good at letting go. I didn't expect Xu Mei to be so decisive after regaining consciousness. This trick of removing the fuel from the fire is a great move!"
Having known Xu Mei for so long, this was the first time that Wen Ying gave such a high evaluation to this girl.
Zhao Dong wanted to use Xu Mei's "black history" to attack "Lane People". Xu Mei first wanted to talk to her ex, but her ex Cao Bo avoided her, so Xu Mei simply cut off the source of the problem.
"Lane People" has just aired the part where Xu Mei's character appears.
If the remaining scenes of Xu Mei were cut out, Xu Mei would go from being a supporting role to a passing glance.
Whether Passerby A has a dark history or not will not affect the broadcast of a TV series.
There's no need for Jiaxin to spend a lot of money on PR. Xu Mei's move of cutting off the source of funds has made Zhao Dong's plan impossible to implement.
By doing this, Jiaxin suffered the least loss and Xie Qian spent the least energy.
The person who suffered the most was Xu Mei. After switching to Jiaxin, she lay dormant for so long, finally waiting for the broadcast of "Longtang People", but suddenly her role was cut. In order to reduce the negative impact, even the opening and ending songs sung by Xu Mei might have to be replaced...
Xu Mei herself was quite open-minded and said that she had another drama to be broadcast this summer and that losing her role in "Lane People" would not be a big deal. However, Wen Ying knew that it would not be that easy.
By then, the media will be flooded with bad news about Xu Mei. Who knows whether Xu Mei's other drama can be broadcast as scheduled?
"It's one thing for Xu Mei to be able to let go, but you don't really agree to have her scenes cut, do you?"
Wen Ying asked Xie Qian about his thoughts, and Xie Qian glanced at her lightly: "Who do you take me for?"
Xu Mei's unexpected misfortune was caused by Xie Qian. If Xu Mei's role is really to be cut, the company will definitely give corresponding compensation.
But as Wen Ying said, Xu Mei’s scenes in "Lane People" can be cut, but what about the other drama that Xu Mei will be broadcast this year?
In terms of the proportion of roles, Xu Mei is considered a "double heroine" in the new drama of the romance queen. Not to mention cutting out all the scenes involving Xu Mei, even if more scenes are edited during post-production, the character played by Xu Mei will not be three-dimensional!
"This is a crisis for Charles Schwab and also for the romance queen. I don't think they would want to scrap and start over with a project that's already been filmed."
Jiaxin doesn't have many connections in Hunan Province, and he's not familiar with Hunan Satellite TV. The romance queen has cooperated with Hunan Satellite TV many times, and asking her to mediate is much more useful than Jiaxin!
Xu Mei wanted to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron, and Xie Qian used the force to counter it.
Wen Ying then took action like a lawyer: "I'll call Teacher Yuan right away. She and the romance queen should know each other. We can contact each other as quickly as possible."
Unexpectedly, Xie Qian refused. Wen Ying's eyes widened slightly. Xie Qian hid his smile and said, "I'll go talk to Teacher Yuan myself. I can't let you always owe Teacher Yuan a favor."
Although everyone who owes Yuan Fenghui a favor has to repay it, Yuan Fenghui likes to tease Wen Ying recently, and Xie Qian doesn't want a hamster to be bullied.
When Xie Qian got through, Yuan Fenghui's tone was not very good: "I just received news that the press conference for The Crown of Thorns has been moved up."
"Too late?"
Xie Qian frowned.
Yuan Fenghui sighed, "It's too late. The press conference will be held in half an hour. Unless Cao Bo can't go to the press conference, it's useless to contact anyone for help. Let me call Director Fan and ask him to think of a solution..."
Why would the launch conference be suddenly brought forward?
Xie Qian could only think of one reason: it was Zhao Dong again!
In order to stop the broadcast of "Lane People", Zhao Dong not only found Xu Mei's ex-boyfriend Cao Bo, but also persuaded General Guan to advance the launch conference of "Crown of Thorns".
Things in the world are so strange. The person that Xie Qian hates and the person that Wen Ying hates just meet each other.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan. There's no need to trouble Director Fan. Some things can't be stopped, so let them take their course."
In an instant, Xie Qian had made his decision.
Cao Bo, Xu Mei’s ex, is her “past” that she cannot avoid. If this bomb is destined to explode, it is better to explode sooner rather than later!
After Xie Qian hung up the phone with Yuan Fenghui, he dialed Gong Sheng's number.
Gong Sheng's voice was also urgent in the receiver: "Boss, I heard——"
"The launch conference for 'Crown of Thorns' has been moved up, right? I already know that. 'Lane Family' can't be discontinued for any reason, and Xu Mei must protect it."
Xie Qian decided not to cut Xu Mei's scenes!
Gong Sheng had no objection to this.
In reality, simply her ex-boyfriend speaking out would have at most made Xu Mei a topic of conversation. The real blow to Xu Mei came when Cao Bo, as her ex-boyfriend, dished out some damning information, half false and half true.
For example, why did the two break off their engagement?
What if Cao Bo falsely accuses Xu Mei of sacrificing herself to the investors in order to get promoted?
Gong Sheng knew it was fake.
When Xu Mei was in charge of the head office, her best opportunity was to star in a new drama starring a romance queen. She was spotted by the show's producer, a woman, and Xu Mei didn't accept any hidden rules at all!
But the audience doesn’t know.
Xu Mei’s fans don’t know either.
When faced with this kind of romantic scandal, the media will only stir up trouble, and few reporters will take the initiative to find out the truth.
In this chaotic situation, if the company insists on keeping Xu Mei, not cutting Xu Mei's scenes, and not changing the opening and ending songs sung by Xu Mei, it will definitely pay a heavy price!
Gong Sheng reminded Xie Qian, who understood the situation better than Gong Sheng: "Don't be afraid to spend money where you can. Xu Mei is the first artist I signed after taking over Jiaxin. If we can't even keep her, how can other talented artists be willing to come to Jiaxin? Money talks. You stay in Hunan Province. As soon as Cao Bo and the others finish the press conference, you stop the invited media reporters. They changed the press conference time at the last minute, so there shouldn't be many media reporters present. You have to buy their reports even if you have to talk to each one individually. After meeting with the reporters, go to Cao Bo. Zhao Dong can bribe Cao Bo, and we can also pay Cao Bo to change his mind. Negotiate a price with him, and remember to make him sign the agreement!"
