Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 860: Chapter 858: I Didn’t Say Anything Just Now

With a loud “bang!”, the door was slammed shut without the slightest mercy.

There wasn’t the slightest sense of bullying the weak.

If you’re saying Xiao Zhi shouldn’t have physical contact with the opposite sex, then what about you?

Tong Yan looked expressionlessly at Bo Yimo, who, like Xiao Zhi, was also male. How did he have the nerve to say that out loud? Could he at least try to have some shame?

Bo Yimo smiled faintly. “Baby, I didn’t say anything just now.”

Tong Yan: …

Staring at the tightly closed door, Xiao Zhi was dumbfounded. He angrily kicked the door a couple of times, but no one came to open it for a long time, so he could only go back by himself.

Bad uncle, so annoying, stealing my sister!

…

The production of “Legend of Le Fei” was a complete mess at the moment. Director Meng was so upset it was beyond words. The shoot had been going just fine before, but higher-ups just had to insist on recasting. Fine, then recast. And now, because of the recast, a scandal had blown up.

How were they supposed to wrap this up now?

Reporters and media outside were all shouting for an explanation. What explanation could there be? It was just that little bit of stuff, wasn’t it.

No matter how much pressure there was from public opinion, he still had to use Bo Si. As long as the higher-ups didn’t switch him out, he had to grit his teeth and use him.

This was really karmic retribution.

The show hadn’t even aired yet and there was already so much dirt. How were they supposed to manage in the future?

Director Meng was so worried he had blisters on his lips. They’d already delayed filming for half a month; they really couldn’t drag it out any longer. Otherwise, the actors had other schedules too—putting aside that they wouldn’t be able to coordinate dates, there would be all kinds of other fallout.

The key thing was, it wasn’t like he wanted this either. Privately, he actually preferred Jiang Yu. Bo Si had never acted in a TV series before; who knew what his acting would be like. Now with this whole mess on top of it, resentment toward Bo Si started building in his heart.

Director Meng thought it over. They couldn’t delay any more; they had to start. So he notified the actors one by one that filming would resume the next day.

Early the next morning, Director Meng was already on set making preparations. After all, they hadn’t shot for half a month; a lot of things needed a quick refresher.

The actors arrived one after another. Chen Lan also arrived.

But there was still no sign of Tong Yan or Bo Si.

Director Meng frowned. Could it be that Tong Yan, because Jiang Yu wasn’t being used, had gotten so angry she decided to walk out? That would be a huge problem.

If she refused to act, even though the artist would have to pay a hefty penalty and suffer a big loss, the bigger loss would still be on the production team, who would have to reshoot everything.

Director Meng paced back and forth on set, anxiously asking Chen Lan, “Why hasn’t Tong Yan come yet? And why can’t I get through to her on the phone either?”

Chen Lan reassured him, “Don’t worry, Director Meng, Yanyan will definitely come.” A professional actor wouldn’t boycott a shoot over anything. That would be disrespectful to the profession itself and to everyone else. Yanyan wasn’t that kind of person.

Director Meng glanced over at the entrance, which was still empty. “But there’s only half an hour till we start shooting, and still no sign of her. This…”

“Director Meng, isn’t that her right there?” Chen Lan pointed ahead and smiled. “Though she brought a little tail along.”

Director Meng looked up and saw someone walking over slowly. He immediately let out a breath of relief. “You finally made it.”

“Got held up a bit on the way. I’m sorry, Director Meng.” Tong Yan was full of apology. She was holding Xiao Zhi’s hand with her left hand. “Director Meng, this is my younger brother. He’ll be staying on set these few days. If he causes any disturbance for you, I—”

Director Meng waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine, let him disturb us all he wants.” As long as she showed up, he didn’t care how many people she brought. She could bring an entire convoy and he’d be fine.

Now everyone except Bo Si had arrived.

The key question was: where was Bo Si?
