Kong Shen pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and looked at Producer Liu with utmost seriousness.
"Old Liu, it's not that I haven't thought about the issues you mentioned, but the essence of this drama lies in the female lead. I trust my judgment, and even more so, I trust my intuition."
Producer Liu was so angry he laughed, but his smile was full of helplessness.
He raised his finger and pointed it at Kong Shen's face, trembling with anger, but he held his tongue and didn't utter a single harsh word.
"No wonder people call you the Old Heretic of the East, too stubborn and domineering. Knowing there's a bottomless abyss ahead, you still insist on jumping off..."
"Don't worry, if this movie causes the investors to lose money, I will bear the loss myself."
In Kong Shen's heart, the pursuit of artistic perfection has been his lifelong goal.
Money wasn't that tempting for a madman like him.
Because he understood this about him, Producer Liu realized that he couldn't change this stubborn madman at all.
Producer Liu sighed deeply: "I'm scared of you. Do whatever you want."
Prosperous Media
Bai Qianmo sat in Su Peishan's office, bored, and took out a Go board from the bookshelf, sitting in front of her desk and fiddling with it.
Su Peishan sat on the wheelchair, her phone in her hand, having already made many calls.
"Mr. Wang, we were in talks a while ago. Didn't Auchan magazine want to shoot a fashion promotional video for my Qianmo? My artist just happens to be available recently..."
"Peishan, I'm really sorry, but other artists have already been confirmed for this issue of the magazine. Let's work together again in the future if we have the opportunity."
Su Peishan's eyebrows shot up immediately: "President Wang, Auchan Magazine was founded by you. I really don't know who else at Auchan can change your decision."
This statement was clearly sarcastic, and Mr. Wang could only manage a forced laugh.
"Hehe, it's all because of my tigress, you know. She's the fashion director at Auchan recently, and she's got her eye on another young actress, so there's nothing I can do about it..."
Su Peishan smiled coldly. Finding no excuse to refuse, she blamed it on a woman. Ha, what a piece of trash.
“It’s okay. My artists don’t lack these third- or fourth-tier magazines. I don’t think we’ll have any opportunities to work together in the future.”
"Smack!"
Su Peishan hung up the phone and tossed it onto the coffee table.
"Xiaomeng, quickly make me a cup of milk tea, I need some sugar to replenish myself."
Xiao Meng, the assistant standing nearby, immediately put down her work and said, "Okay, Sister Su."
After Xiaomeng left, Su Peishan let out a long sigh of relief.
"See? I've been on the phone since nine o'clock, a full half hour has passed, and the endorsements, magazine covers, and variety shows that we talked to before are now either being rejected outright or being passed around like a hot potato."
"Don't rush!" Bai Qianmo continued playing Gomoku.
Su Peishan glared at her: "How can I not be angry? Auchan, a third-rate magazine, dared to reject you. It shows how badly your image has been damaged. You damned master of the tea, don't let me catch you. Once I find out who you are, I'll tear your stinking mouth apart."
Don't be angry!
Su Peishan rolled her eyes at Bai Qianmo.
"I'm like an emperor who's not worried but the eunuch is dying of anxiety. Right now, there are posts all over the internet from Zhang Yafei's fans attacking you. Do you know that a lot of ignorant people have been swayed by this? If this continues, it will be really hard for you to make a comeback."
Bai Qianmo lowered her eyes, her well-defined fingers toying with a translucent white jade Go board.
“Sister Su, every incident has a root cause. Take the exposure of Zhang Yafei’s death, for example. The root cause lies in those few Weibo posts by the Master of Tu Mi. So finding the Master of Tu Mi is far more important than calling these endorsers and magazines.”
"Just thinking about this 'Lord of the Roses' makes me angry. That guy is incredibly cunning. I had someone from the IT department check his information, and it turned out to be a fake identity and a fake phone number. This is clearly a premeditated conspiracy."
"On the internet, as long as you leave a trace on it, there will always be clues to be found. Don't worry, it will definitely be found."
Seeing Bai Qianmo so calm and composed, Su Peishan gradually suppressed her own anger.
"Jia Shang Media held a press conference at 10 o'clock today, which should be about the murder of Zhang Yafei. Coincidentally, the filming of 'The Legend of 1900' was launched at 10 o'clock."
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly, "What a coincidence. Didn't they send me an invitation from 'The Legend of 1900'?"
Su Peishan: "That's the problem. I've consulted with many of the other actors in the same production team, and they all received invitations and phone calls yesterday. But you, as one of the female leads, didn't receive a single call. This clearly shows that you're under pressure from public opinion and they want to replace you as the female lead."
Bai Qianmo silently looked at Su Peishan: "Is there any news from Director Kong Shen?"
"Not yet. There's still half an hour until the opening ceremony. Should I call and ask?"
"Clatter..."
Bai Qianmo tossed the Go board into the air, casually crossed her legs and put them on the coffee table, her slender fingers tapping the armrests of the chair idly.
"If the production team really wants to replace you, even if you call them, they will just give you the runaround."
"We can't just silently suffer this loss," Su Peishan said, looking indignant.
Bai Qianmo didn't feel any sense of imbalance.
Whether a movie will be a big hit after its release depends on market demand, and 90% of moviegoers are young people.
These young people are all experts at surfing the internet; they can immediately learn about any news or developments in the entertainment industry through the internet.
An artist's image is crucial, especially in film.
Currently, due to Zhang Yafei's situation, the online criticism against her is becoming increasingly intense.
The producers of "The Legend of 1900" will definitely need to reconsider their collaborative relationship.
"Both parties have already signed a contract. Even if the film company intends to replace the actor, they must first terminate the contract with us. Let's wait and see."
