Chapter 189: Evil Ways
After these words were spoken, Lu Beichen and Director Jin looked at each other in shock.
Lu Beichen said without hesitation: "Replace Lin Xiyue!"
Director Jin was still a little confused: "Master Shen, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you have no evidence. How can I replace Lin Xiyue just because of your words?"
"Besides, she has already signed the contract. If we replace her now, we will have to pay a huge sum of money."
Lu Beichen said proudly: "Compensation is not a problem, I will pay it. I will not allow such a bad apple to appear in such a good drama!"
Director Jin was a little embarrassed: "Lin Xiyue will take the final makeup photo tomorrow. If I tell her that she has been replaced now, she will probably make a fuss, right?"
"Master Shen, what kind of thunder is on Lin Xiyue?"
"Can you tell me something?"
Shen Wan said calmly: "She is raising a little ghost."
Director Jin was stunned for a moment, but soon accepted it. "That's it. Many people in the industry keep them for luck. It's normal."
This is indeed normal in the entertainment industry. Not to mention Lin Xiyue, even those old-time top stars have one, right?
Even if they don't raise them, they believe in these things, offer sacrifices and worship them.
"This is not a problem. Even if it were to be exposed, how many people in the public would believe it?"
Lu Beichen frowned, "Director Jin, are you keeping one too?"
Director Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't raise him. I made movies based on my real ability."
"But I heard that raising a ghost is indeed useful. It can increase luck and wealth."
Chen Wan said: "Raising little ghosts is not uncommon in your circle, but it is rare to turn your own flesh and blood into little ghosts, right?"
Director Jin's face changed: "Lin Xiyue has given birth to a child?"
"That's not right. She's single and doesn't even have a boyfriend. How could she have a child?"
In their line of work, they have to do a background check before selecting an actor, and they will only use that person after he passes the review.
There is no problem with Lin Xiyue's background check.
Lu Beichen took out his cell phone and contacted one of the most powerful paparazzi in the country.
Soon, the paparazzi sent a video of Lin Xiyue and Fang Junwen secretly dating and passionately kissing at home.
High definition and uncensored.
Director Jin was stunned: "Fang Junwen? Isn't he a good man in the entertainment industry? How come..."
Well, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the circle.
It's not like he hasn't seen couples on the crew before.
I can only say that these are just character settings created for the fans!
"Lin Xiyue was pregnant with Fang Junwen's child, and she aborted the child and turned it into a ghost..."
Director Jin was shocked.
This is not just morally corrupt, it is insidious and vicious.
If the rumor gets out, the consequences will be disastrous and will definitely implicate the entire crew.
"Lin Xiyue spent three million to buy out this video so it wasn't exposed." Lu Beichen said with a cold face: "I firmly resist this kind of person from participating in "Chang'an Xing"!"
Director Jin had to give in to Shen Wan now, "Okay, I promise to let Lin Xiyue get out."
"But Mr. Lu, I'm optimistic about Ye Yin. She's very suitable to play the leading female role!"
Lu Beichen said straightforwardly: "Director Jin, you can make the decision. I will ask the legal department to contact Lin Xiyue."
It was already the next morning when Lin Xiyue learned that she had been fired.
As soon as she and her assistant arrived at the makeup trial site, they were told they were fired.
“I was fired?”
Lin Xiyue looked at Director Jin with an incredulous look on her face and asked, "Director Jin, why do you suddenly not want me anymore?"
"Haven't I already passed the audition? I've even signed the contract!"
"How can you go back on your word?"
Director Jin looked at her with anger, and thought of what Chen Wan said about her raising a little ghost, so he didn't dare to offend her too much and could only say some polite words.
"Xiyue, after careful consideration, we found that you are not suitable to play the leading female role."
"This is a decision from above, and the investor has also promised to give you compensation."
Lin Xiyue's face turned pale and she angrily said, "I don't want any compensation, I just want the heroine!"
Bao Bao gave her guidance, and the ancient costume masterpiece "The Journey to Chang'an" will be a hit. All the roles she plays, whether the protagonist or supporting role, even a minor role, can become an enduring classic!
This is a rare drama with a good reputation.
She would rather not get paid than play the leading female role!
Now she is fired.
Lin Xiyue was filled with anger, "Investor, does Mr. Lu not want me?"
Director Jin coughed awkwardly.
Lin Xiyue understood at once.
Not Lu Beichen.
But it was Shen Wan who was sitting next to Lu Beichen!
It was Chen Wan who bewitched Lu Beichen into not wanting her!
Lin Xiyue called Shen Wan angrily, but found that she had been blocked.
She called again using her assistant's cell phone.
Shen Wan answered it.
Lin Xiyue roared, "Chen Wan! Why do you want Mr. Lu to replace me? This is the heroine I finally got!"
Chen Wan said calmly: "This is a role you obtained through crooked means, you are just giving it back to someone else."
"Chen Wan, you f—"
Before Lin Xiyue finished speaking, Chen Wan hung up the phone.
She is unwilling to accept this!
He ran to the hospital angrily to complain to Shen Luoyu.
When Shen Luoyu heard that it was related to Shen Wan again, she stood up for her: "Xiyue, calm down, I'll call Director Jin."
Lin Xiyue sat beside her wiping her tears, feeling very aggrieved.
Shen Luoyu called Director Jin and asked in a questioning tone: "Director Jin, I took "Chang'an Xing" entirely because of Xiyue. She took the trouble to come to the hospital to ask me to take over this drama. Now you are killing her and don't want her to play the female lead. If she doesn't play, then I won't play the male lead either."
"You can do whatever you want."
Shen Luoyu thought he could threaten Director Jin.
Unexpectedly, Director Jin's words almost made him jump up from the hospital bed.
"Is that so? Okay then. I'll replace the male lead with someone else."
Shen Luoyu’s expression changed.
It's not that he really doesn't want to act.
He has read the script of "The Journey to Chang'an", which is indeed a rare good script.
"Director Jin, I'm not kidding you, Xiyue is the heroine in my mind..."
Shen Luoyu was interrupted by Director Jin before she finished her words, "Then I wish you can find a new good script and let Lin Xiyue be the heroine for you."
Now he was completely dumbfounded.
"Director Jin, if I don't play the leading male role, no one in the industry can play it."
Director Jin seemed to laugh at the other end, "There really is someone who can act, and he just passed the audition."
"Who is it?"
"Qiao Guang."
Hearing that it was the enemy, Shen Luoyu couldn't sit still anymore and shouted in shock: "Why is it him!"
"Director Jin, you are kidding me!"
"Luoyu, I heard that your leg injury hasn't healed yet, you should stay in the hospital and recover."
Director Jin hung up the phone directly and looked at Qiao Guang in front of him with approval.
"As expected of someone recommended by Master Shen, you acted really well. You're the male lead!"
