"Director Lin, I think this part of the script can be changed..."
"Director Lin, I don't think this part makes sense..."
Lin Xiaoxiao's smile turned cold as she looked at the two actors invited by the program team.
“Since you’re not satisfied, let’s switch groups. Notify the production team that these two want to switch groups, and we need to re-interview the actors.”
The two actors were a little flustered. They didn't choose the other three directors because they thought Lin Xiaoxiao was younger and easier to handle. Plus, Lin Xiaoxiao already had a hit drama in hand. They thought that after filming this variety show, they could use Lin Xiaoxiao for marketing purposes. But they never expected Lin Xiaoxiao to be so tough.
Didn't they say Lin Xiaoxiao had no background?
"Director Lin, these are minor issues, there's no need to alarm the production team."
Lin Xiaoxiao sneered, "My little temple can't hold two people. Why isn't the production team here yet? If they don't come in ten minutes, tell the team to take a break today."
It's a joke that this show is full of cameras, and the backstage can monitor everything. These two people chattered on and on about their demands, and her expression changed several times, but no one from the production team came. It seems they want her to have a conflict with these two actors.
So she granted their wish. She was willing to build a TV station and tolerate two actors who changed the script just to avoid being mistreated.
Unsurprisingly, the production crew arrived within five minutes, let alone ten.
"Director Lin, we've already formed a crew, so we can't change the actors."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the two actors who held their heads high, and felt like she had a powerful backer as soon as the production crew arrived.
"Then I'll withdraw from the recording of the show."
After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and left with Wang Li and He Yue.
The crew members and the two actors were stunned. The crew members were more flustered and rushed over to stop them.
"Director Lin, we can still discuss this. Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"How can we discuss this? Has your supervisor arrived? Can you make the decision?"
The staff member was stumped by the question; he really couldn't make the decision. Lin Xiaoxiao kept walking, and seeing that they were about to leave the recording studio, he hurriedly called the person in charge.
The person in charge was also surprised by Lin Xiaoxiao's actions and rushed over. Finally, just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to leave through the gate, he stopped her.
"Director Lin, please don't leave yet. According to the contract, it is indeed not allowed to change the actors."
The person in charge wiped his sweat while pondering to himself. Jiang Yun of the He Group had been acting arrogantly and bossing people around on the M platform lately, which displeased the platform's top management. Jiang Yun had put Lin Xiaoxiao in the program, which led to the top management's attempt to sabotage Lin Xiaoxiao by having two actors deliberately cause chaos for her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxiao completely ignored the challenge and immediately wanted to back out.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression grew even colder. Seeing the complete lack of apology on the other side, she knew this was a trap.
"Are you the person in charge of 'The Road to Directing'? Then how come you didn't know that I haven't signed a contract with M platform yet?"
The person in charge was surprised that they arrived before the contract was even signed. Although this is not uncommon in the industry, it was not a good time, as the program had already released the list.
"Isn't this contract a done deal? Why should Director Lin worry about these trivial matters? I'll talk to the two actors again, and they'll definitely cooperate."
Cooperation my ass. Those two had only had the script for less than ten minutes, not even enough time to finish reading it before they started revising it.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she hadn't reached the point in the industry where she was being bossed around like this. None of the actors who auditioned at Feiyang Entertainment before had experienced this. So there was only one possibility: M platform was being dishonest.
She thought about Jiang Yun's recent mood and guessed that the M platform was unhappy because a leader who wasn't even parachuted in was giving orders.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled at the thought; it was good that the M platform was in chaos, the more chaotic the better.
“I demand a replacement actor. If you can’t cooperate, I’m leaving.”
Lin Xiaoxiao bypassed the person in charge and left directly.
This time, the person in charge didn't stop them, but their expression wasn't good either. It's rare to see a director so disrespectful to the M platform. Did they think they could be arrogant just because they'd hooked up with Jiang Yun? What a joke! They don't even know whose territory this is. No matter how powerful or powerful outsiders are, they all have to bow down to them.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the hotel, she called Jiang Yun.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "Brother Jiang, this M platform is outrageous! Last time I worked with you, you didn't even have to revise the script. You have such a keen eye! Now, for 'The Road to Directing,' two actors in the production team want to change my script. I can tolerate it myself, but when I think about how much you have high hopes for this show, and how much you want to boost the popularity of 'A Century of Silence,' it breaks my heart. If they really change the script and the final result isn't good, it's one thing if they scold me as the director, but if it also affects the popularity of 'A Century of Silence,' that would be a huge mistake."
Then I discussed with the production team about replacing him, but they kept making excuses and wouldn't let me. I even brought up Brother Jiang, but they still wouldn't change him. I got angry and said I was quitting. This wasn't just refusing me; it was slapping Brother Jiang in the face!
Jiang Yun, on the other end of the phone, was indeed in a bad mood. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle this and give you a satisfactory answer."
Lin Xiaoxiao hung up the phone with a bright smile. She knew how much Jiang Yun cared about her reputation. The production team probably hadn't expected her to complain to Jiang Yun directly.
The top leader of the M platform was in a bad mood after being thoroughly criticized by Jiang Yun. He was annoyed by how his subordinates were handling things, failing to get a taste of their own medicine and even getting Lin Xiaoxiao to complain about him.
Although he was in charge of the M platform, he was theoretically on the same level as Jiang Yun. How dare Jiang Yun point his finger at him and curse him? Did he really think he was someone to be trifled with?
