Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 3148: Chapter 3237: Am I Your Manager or Are You Mine?

They were just one step away from wrapping up and moving into the editing phase, and now Lydia Bell says she’s done filming. Isn’t this just messing with them?

The investor has thrown in millions, and now with this halt, the previous millions are all going to waste!

The main issue is Jeremy Payne’s schedule. If they have to recast Sophia’s role, they will also need to reschedule Jeremy. Actors like Jeremy, who are popular, are not easy to book. As far as the Director knows, Jeremy’s schedule is already packed until next year. It’s impossible for him to postpone the film until next year!

This is exactly why the Director is sweating nervously. He spent half the day talking with Lydia’s Manager, using both sweet words and rational analysis. Lydia’s Manager acted like she was on explosives, refusing to listen to a single word and kept repeating two words — not filming!

Isn’t this just screwing with them?

”Is there something you’re unhappy with in the cast? You can tell us; we can discuss it. You suddenly saying you won’t film, we really can’t agree to that,” the Director was almost in tears pleading with her.

Lydia bowed apologetically to him, ”I’m sorry, Director, it’s all because of me causing trouble for you.”

Seeing her like this made the Director even more anxious. He looked like he was about to cry, grabbing her arm to help her up, ”Please, I’m not bothered, I’m not bothered. The main issue is you can’t act so capriciously at this moment. You know we are nearly done with the filming, and if you say you won’t film now, the loss for the crew will be immense! Plus, you’ve been part of the filming process, so you should know how much sweat everyone has poured into this movie. If you quit now, it will render all previous efforts useless! I’m begging you, Lydia, please don’t quit now.”

As long as she’s willing to film, he’s willing to call her grandma!

The Assistant Director was pacing anxiously nearby and echoed the Director’s words solemnly, ”Yes, Lydia, you can’t say you won’t film at this point. Your scenes occupy 80% of the movie’s shots. If we need to find a replacement for you temporarily, it basically means reshooting the entire movie. We won’t even mention anything else; the main issue is Jeremy’s schedule. Rearranging the schedules for everyone is too much trouble! This isn’t just about money.”

Lydia could hear the repressed anger in his voice.

She pressed her lips together and looked up, ”Director, Assistant Director, rest assured, I will definitely complete the film! I’ve also invested a lot of passion into this movie, and I’ve loved my time filming with the crew. There’s nothing I’m dissatisfied with; I’ve been really happy here, and everyone has taken great care of me.”

”Then why...” The Director wanted to ask why her Manager came to the set first thing in the morning to announce she was quitting?

Just as the Director started speaking, Lydia’s Manager suddenly stood up from the chair, displeased and warning, ”Lydia, what are you doing? The deadline for the schedule you agreed to with them is today; I’ve already arranged your upcoming plans. What do you mean by saying you’re going to continue filming now?”

Lydia kept a stern face, looking icy as she responded, ”We agreed that we’d finish this film, and I already told you I’d stay with the crew for the next half month and not to schedule new plans for me.”

The Manager let out a cold laugh, staring at her beautiful face, recalling the beating he got yesterday, furiously yelling without leaving her any dignity, ”Am I your Manager or are you my Manager?”
