The director wiped his forehead, looking sowhat troubled, and said, "There is such a situation, but rest assured, Miss Zhou, it will be fixed shortly. Our scriptwriter is working at full speed to revise it."
Zhou Yun said, "Director, I’m not trying to rush you, but if the program can’t start on ti due to an individual guest’s personal issues, who should account for the ti we’ve lost? Even if she’s popular now, I don’t think her requests necessarily have to be t. Since she’s taken on the job, she should comply with the demands of the production team and complete the work to the best of her ability."
The director clearly did not expect Zhou Yun to be so uncompromising; there seed to be no room for negotiation.
He hesitated, trying to say sothing, but was at a loss for words, stamring and unable to speak for a while.
"This is..."
The director was in a difficult position.
Xu Siyao’s sudden decision to change her character brought them a lot of trouble, but it was still within manageable limits and not an impossible task. Having been running the program for so many years, the production team had experienced all kinds of difficult celebrities, and they didn’t say much, just went straight to making changes to the script. As long as they could get such capricious people to cooperate quickly and finish recording the program, a bit of annoyance was bearable. But the director was well aware that dealing with soone like Zhou Yun was actually much more challenging.
She was reasonable right from the start, and the director couldn’t really say she was wrong.
What’s more, Zhou Yun was completely justified in her anger.
All the director wanted was to quickly smooth things over, so he said with a smile, "Miss Zhou, please calm down. Our work here will be done very soon, and we can start recording the program shortly. I assure you, we’ll start within an hour."
"Director, I’m not angry, but don’t you think it’s not right to unconditionally indulge an artist to et her sudden demands?" Zhou Yun said, "I don’t intend to discuss with you whether you should cater to her or not, but there’s an issue now. You accommodating her demands is based on sacrificing and wasting the ti of all the other guests. Our ti isn’t that abundant to be wasted lightly. If we can’t reach an agreent on this, then we might as well not record the show at all."
The director was sweating profusely.
Zheng Xiaoju chid in at this mont, "Sister Xiao Yun wasn’t feeling well this morning and even visited the hospital, but because she promised to co to record this program, she didn’t take sick leave even though she felt unwell, worried about delaying your recording. She didn’t even take an IV at the hospital but ca straight here. And to think your program could just postpone the recording so casually; had we known that, we could have taken a break and rested properly."
The director with a smile on his face said, "Miss Zhou, sorry, sorry, we weren’t aware of your discomfort. Let imdiately check the current situation and start recording as soon as possible."
Zhou Yun didn’t say anything, her head bowed, not looking at the director.
After the director mopped his sweat and left Zhou Yun’s makeup room, Zheng Xiaoju complained, "This production team is really pitiful, even agreeing to Xu Siyao’s outrageous demands."
Zhou Yun said, "Xiaoju, go see what the situation is with Xu Siyao."
Zheng Xiaoju responded and went right away.
Zhou Yun told Liu Yun, "Xiaoyun, pack up our things, we’re getting ready to leave."
Liu Yun was stunned for a mont, and asked, "Are we really packing up?"
Zhou Yun nodded, with a stern face, said, "If they can’t start within half an hour, we’re leaving."
Liu Yun: "Okay."
Zheng Xiaoju went out for a while and ca back to report to Zhou Yun what she had seen.
"Sister Xiao Yun, the director went to find Xu Siyao again, but Xu Siyao doesn’t seem willing to compromise, insisting on modifying the character before agreeing to record," said Zheng Xiaoju.
Zhou Yun scoffed coldly.
She said, "I’m going to find Yin Zhou."
Yin Zhou had already finished getting ready and was waiting for the program to start recording.
Zhou Yun coming over again surprised him.
"Your face is full of anger, what happened?"
Zhou Yun said, "Xu Siyao wants to change her character to a Princess, and won’t agree to record otherwise. The production team is revising the script right now."
"I was wondering why it’s been so long, and no one has co to notify us," Yin Zhou understood and nodded, saying to Zhou Yun, "So when can they get it done?"
