Before the movie’s official announcement, Lin Xiaojuan received Director Leng’s movie.
“You don’t want Yan Jianming?” Lin Xiaojuan was surprised, faintly venting off her anger—greatly venting off, in fact. Yan Jianming depended on this movie to play the leading role and to progress in the film industry.
Director Leng felt really guilty. To get this role, Lin Xiaojuan discussed with him for three months. He felt apologetic, but Gu Xie reduced half of his remuneration himself and agreed to act in the movie. This was something he greatly wished. There was no doubt that he would abandon a young, hot actor for Gu Xie.
“Director Leng, but we already signed a contract, what do we do now?” Lin Xiaojuan asked.
“That’s easy, the film side will be in contact with you. By that time, they will discuss with you about the termination of the contract and pensation,” Director Leng said. Luckily, the contract did not explain in detail about the pensation issue, so the film side would benefit anyway.
“Don’t contact me. You can directly contact Brilliant Entertainment’s management department. I am not Yan Jianming’s manager anymore.”
Director Leng was caught in surprise and clearly had not known of this news. Lin Xiaojuan asked, “Director Leng, is it convenient to tell me why you suddenly terminated the contract?”
“I will not hide the truth too. The only condition for Gu Xie to act in the movie was that he refused to act alongside with Ye Jianming. I am not afraid to tell you this. The rumors on the Internet are spreading like wildfire, and even if I don’t tell you, you would have guessed it too.” Before Director Leng hung up the phone, he apologized once again. “I am sorry, Xiaojuan.”
At one side, Shen Qianshu propped her jaw. Her eyes shined brightly with unexplainable happiness. Lin Xiaojuan smiled and went forward to pinch her face. Shen Qianshu said, “Gu Xie is really too… brilliant and manly. I have decided, from this moment onwards, I am his loyal fan. He is my idol.”
Gu Xie… Gu Xie…
To them, the man who had always lived in the clouds and never once e down to the mortal world deeply left his mark for the past two days.
Lin Xiaojuan said, “I don’t know what disagreements Gu Xie and Yan Jianming have, but according to how this situation is developing, it is either Gu Xie’s image being ruined, his popularity depleting, or Yan Jianming’s resources being snatched away and being unable to start afresh for life.”
Shen Qianshu said, “I saw some rumors online that are really detrimental to Gu Xie: something along the lines of him being stuck up, being disrespectful to everyone, and much more. His fans are also slightly going against him.”
“All these impacts are not that serious. The most crucial one is ’s role being snatched away. If not settled well, there would be no benefits to his popularity and the movie. Director Leng has a lot of experience and will no doubt have his own solution. He will not tell the audience directly that he wants Gu Xie to act and not Yan Jianming since that would be too foolish.”
Just as Lin Xiaojuan’s words landed, in the live broadcast, it was clear that the host got wind of something. He went on to ask Gu Xie a question.
The host asked, “Mr. Gu, ’s male lead is confirmed to be you, but I heard previously that the other male lead was confirmed to be Yan Jianming. Why did the movie want to find a new actor again? Is there any inside story?”
Gu Xie said, “The film side said that his acting skills are not good enough and do not match mine.”
Everyone was speechless…
What the hell!!!!
Best Actor Gu, are you being too straightforward?
This show was the most popular variety show. Every audience in front of the television had the same expression, a “you are good, you are awesome” expression, including the people on site.
Little Tong Hua clasped his mouth and smiled innocently, acting like an obedient child to smooth things over. “Big brother, then am I capable of matching you?”
“Yes, you are great.”
Once his words came out, he was clearly insinuating that Yan Jianming could not even be pared to a child.
The site erupted into animated discussions once again.
Lin Xiaojuan said, “The viewership ratings for this episode should hit the roof.”
