Zhu Qingshan is just a minor actor, not very famous, and he doesn't care where he goes.
At this moment, he was sitting in a chaotic food stall, drinking beer and chatting with his friend across the street.
“I warned my sister a long time ago not to like Xiao Linyuan. What’s so good about that mentally ill person? You didn’t see how angry he was on set. He even dared to talk back to the director! He’s no different from a madman.”
The cronies across the way chimed in, "An award-winning actor, huh? Is this all the class he has?"
"Of course, I really don't know if he bought his trophy. I've stopped bidding against him and I'm not going to serve him anymore."
"Haha, our Qingshan is truly noble and principled!"
Hearing the constant compliments, Zhu Qingshan felt increasingly pleased, as if he were belittling Xiao Linyuan, implying that Xiao Linyuan was even more impressive than the Nine Gold Film Emperor.
He said smugly, "He hasn't been able to take good pictures for two days in a row. I guess the reporters who love leaks will make a big deal out of it. I can imagine how pathetic he looks. Let me find some for you."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and happily scrolled through Weibo. She thought she would see a lot of news that was not good for Xiao Linyuan, but to her surprise, the first thing she saw was the trending topic "[Xiao Linyuan sheds tears like an immortal]".
Moreover, the message wasn't sent by a marketing account, but by the movie's official account!!!
Zhu Qingshan was shocked, and his face turned bright red instantly, as if he had been slapped twice, feeling both pain and shame.
how so?
Xiao Linyuan was never a good actor to begin with, and without his cooperation today, he probably would have performed even worse. How could such a classic scene have been leaked?
He clicked on the video in disbelief. Inside was Xiao Linyuan shedding tears like an immortal, and his last line: "Then what are you waiting for? Shoot! Don't make me look down on you."
The camera slowly panned and captured Si Jin.
That's... the actor who replaced him?
That shouldn't be the case. The assistant director personally selected him for this role. Without him, the entire crew couldn't have filmed anything. Who gave them the audacity to find a replacement?!
What's even more infuriating is that it seems like everything is going smoothly without him, and the crew is overjoyed.
He's even counting on this movie to make him popular again!
Zhu Qingshan couldn't accept this fact and immediately tried to call the assistant director.
But before the number could be dialed, the assistant director called first.
Zhu Qingshan was amused when he saw it, but deliberately declined to accept it.
Sure enough, the assistant director was still thinking about his assets and wanted to persuade him to return to the film crew as soon as possible.
But it's too unethical for the production team to find a replacement behind his back. He absolutely refuses to take the job now, wanting the assistant director to worry so that his value can be demonstrated.
But... he didn't answer, and the other party didn't call again, but quickly pressed the call button and sent a text message.
The message reads: "Zhu Qingshan, after careful consideration, we have determined that you are not suitable for this film. Therefore, we are terminating your contract. The penalty for breach of contract and the money you invested will be transferred to your account later. Goodbye."
"..."
Zhu Qingshan was dumbfounded once again. It didn't make sense. The movie hadn't been heavily promoted and was short of funds. How could they possibly refund his money?
He didn't believe it and angrily dialed back: "Assistant Director, if you really want to terminate my contract, your financial support still comes from me. Without me..."
"Without you, we have the CEO of Rong's Group investing in us. The production team doesn't need incompetent actors. Goodbye."
As they were talking, the call was disconnected again. Zhu Qingshan was frantic and tried to call the assistant director again, but the other party had blocked him.
"...Damn it!" Zhu Qingshan angrily slammed his phone down. He only wanted to vent his anger, but the phone exploded just before it hit the table.
