Chapter 291 Tell Him to Get Lost Just then, Luo Zhen's assistant rushed over, her face pale, holding two buzzing cell phones:
"Sister Zhen! D Company just sent a formal letter, unilaterally terminating all endorsement deals!"
"P's legal department called, saying our image has been severely damaged and they want to pursue our breach of contract liability, with a claim amount that is... astronomical!"
The carefully maintained "noble" mask on Luo Zhen's face shattered completely with a snap, leaving only an unbelievable paleness.
To make matters worse, her agent called in a panic, immediately launching into a tirade of abuse:
"My goodness! What on earth did you do to offend director Ho Shun-sang?!"
"He has personally declared that he has united all his friends in the industry to completely blacklist you!"
"You finally managed to land that supporting role in the movie, but your audition has been cancelled!"
Almost simultaneously, Chen Jin also received a similar call, and his face instantly turned ashen.
He was about to join a big production, but the production team politely but firmly stated that "the role has other arrangements," which actually meant they were turning him away!
The two men, holding their phones, looked at each other, both completely bewildered.
"When did we offend Director He Shunsheng?" Chen Jin's voice was full of confusion.
Luo Zhen suddenly remembered something, her pupils contracted: "He Xi...she also has the surname He...it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
"What a joke!" Chen Jin immediately retorted, "If her father were He Shunsheng, would she still need to film this kind of low-budget short drama? She would already be a well-connected actress!"
The assistant was jumping up and down anxiously, urging in a low voice, "Stop guessing! Let's go!"
"The situation has escalated significantly, and countless media outlets are watching! If we don't leave now, the airport will be besieged by reporters, and we won't be able to leave at all!"
The crew of "Desert Ark" stopped what they were doing and watched the crew of "Journey to the Desert" next door flee in a panic like stray dogs, their disheveled appearance resembling that of someone fleeing a disaster.
"Tsk, those annoying flies have finally flown away." A photography assistant scoffed.
The script supervisor next to me chimed in with a grin: "You can't say we completely hate them, they even 'sponsored' us with double the lost wages!"
“That’s right,” the producer added cheerfully, holding his phone.
"Now we've lost money, our reputation is ruined, and the whole project is probably going to fail."
If only they had known this would happen, why were they so arrogant back then?
He Xi wiped the lens, looked up, and smiled brightly: "Most importantly, they also gave us a free, nationwide publicity campaign."
"This effect is much better than us spending money to attract traffic ourselves."
What she said is absolutely true. At this moment, public opinion across the internet is escalating rapidly.
Amidst the surging wave of boycotts against "Journey to the Desert," a surge of support for "Desert Time Ark" has unexpectedly emerged:
