Chapter 1000 I'm Sorry
After Zhang Xiong got off the car, he stepped heavily on the ground with his leather shoes, making a "click" sound, exuding a strong aura.
He glanced around the scene, his gaze finally landing on the director, and said in a stern tone, "Director Wang, I invested so much money, I didn't come here to see you kick me out! What did Ruoxuan do wrong? You have to give me an explanation!"
The director took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "Mr. Zhang, Lin Ruoxuan is suspected of administering stimulants to an actor's horse on set, attempting to harm other actors. This behavior is a serious violation of crew discipline, and I cannot tolerate it."
Zhang Xiong sneered, "Just a few photos and recordings? Who knows if someone is deliberately framing her? Ruoxuan is my artist, and I absolutely trust her. You must give me a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, otherwise, the filming funds..."
Zhang Xiong didn't finish his words, but the threat was already very obvious.
Zhen Yan dismounted from her horse and walked up to Zhang Xiong, speaking in a balanced tone, "Mr. Zhang, the evidence is irrefutable, and Xiao Liu has admitted to being under Lin Ruoxuan's orders. As an investor, you should prioritize the crew's safety and fairness, rather than shielding those who have made mistakes."
Zhang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhen Yan, his eyes full of contempt. "You are Zhen Yan? A newcomer, and you are quite good at causing trouble. I think you don't want to be in the entertainment industry anymore! From today on, you are fired from the crew!"
The director got anxious when he heard this: "Mr. Zhang, Zhen Yan is the heroine of this play. If she's fired, how can we continue filming this play?"
"Then recast the role!" Zhang Xiong said domineeringly, "My money is mine, and I have the final say!"
Zhen Yan didn't expect Zhang Xiong to target her directly. She was furious, but quickly calmed down. "Mr. Zhang, you're destroying the hard work of the entire crew by doing this. Besides, I've already informed the media about this matter. If it gets out, I'm afraid it won't be good for your reputation."
Zhang Xiong's face darkened instantly when he heard this. "Threatening me? You think you can scare me by finding a few media outlets? I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I've seen everything! You must leave today, or I'll make you disappear from this world completely!"
Lin Ruoxuan smiled smugly at the side: "Zhen Yan, I told you not to have an easy time! Now you know the consequences of offending me!"
Zhen Yan looked at Lin Ruoxuan's face and felt sick.
She turned to the director and said, "Director Wang, thank you for your care during this time. Since Mr. Zhang insists, I will leave. However, I believe the truth will come out sooner or later."
The director frowned and said quickly, "Zhen Yan, please think about this play again..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiong interrupted him coldly, "Director Wang, if you don't want to shoot this movie anymore, I can change the director."
He's just a paid director, yet he dares to slap him in the face in front of so many people?!
Zhen Yan didn't want to embarrass the director, so she looked at him and said, "Director Wang, don't let me affect you. It's better not to shoot this kind of investor's drama. I'll go back and pack my things and leave."
The director looked helpless: "Zhen Yan, I'm sorry for not being able to protect you."
Zhen Yan shook her head and turned to leave.
Just then, a familiar voice came from a distance: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elegant middle-aged woman walking slowly towards them.
"Mr. Li!" Zhang Xiong's face changed slightly when he saw the person coming.
Mr. Li walked straight to Zhen Yan and patted her shoulder gently. "Yan Yan, don't be afraid. I'm a co-investor of this drama and a fan of yours. I trust you as a person, and I trust the evidence even more. Zhang Xiong, you've abused your power, disrupted the crew's normal filming, and attempted to suppress newcomers. I won't let this go."
