Chapter 1217: Chapter 1208 Crisis (4)
She originally thought she was already arrogant enough, but in the face of real capital, her little “diva” tactics were nothing.
She couldn’t even speak properly and still blad the other party for not cooperating. How was the other party supposed to cooperate? She had been sitting there minding her own business, without even the chance for a word in return. Was she supposed to stand in front of him with a smile, personally guiding him on how to act?
Xia Siyu hadn’t replied yet, but Wei Jingjing jumped in first: “Miss Jiang, do you know how much Siyu’s appearance fee is per minute? It’s written in the contract that she only works here for precisely forty-five by twelve-hour days. Today your brother already delayed her by an hour; how is she supposed to guide him? Are you going to pay for it? If a word costs a million, then forget I said anything.”
She rembered that Xia Siyu had said that matters concerning her agent were for her agent to handle. Jiang Bui was rely an agent, yet dared to tread on Xia Siyu. Capital is impressive, huh? Let’s see if you have the guts to pull it off.
Xia Siyu imdiately applauded from the side: “Good! Well said. I’ll give you a raise this month.”
They weren’t on the sa level at all, and she didn’t even care to argue with them. Xia Siyu stood up directly: “Director, here’s the thing. I’ll go rest for a bit; just let know when he’s ready.”
Wei Jingjing was right this ti; she did have only a forty-five-day schedule because she had to also record ‘Love to Roast’ and a dating reality show, as well as so ad work. Including delayed ti, it barely stretched to a bit over two months.
As the pandemic was winding down, many film crews were gradually resuming work. Xia Siyu, thanks to the huge success of “Storm,” received many scripts with various crews vying for her. But to be honest, so film scripts were indeed weak, even weaker than a TV drama script she received.
Although Xia Siyu hadn’t done TV dramas before, she wouldn’t refuse a good script.
So it wasn’t her begging capital to give her acting roles; it was capital begging her. If it hadn’t been for her previous pleasant cooperation with Director Ji, she wouldn’t have taken this movie. Does having money make you great? The average person might admire you, but in showbiz, sorry, even the richest second-generation heirs get mocked just the sa. If they can’t handle this, there are plenty more beatings to co.
Director Ji had no choice. A simple scene, and he didn’t perform well. He had been in the industry for decades, witnessing tis when actors who perford poorly would be scolded to the point they couldn’t live independently. Nowadays, actors are cherished, with better treatnt, but their skills have plumted, and you can’t scold them too harshly. Scold too harshly, and the fans would get him trending in a heartbeat.
No way out, they still had to shoot, so they let an assistant director go over to coach him. Jiang Jiahe was relatively open to the advice; after calming down, he was taught to relax, which indeed improved from the beginning. But his expression still lacked that fierce outlaw look, mostly looking cool at most. When asked to be fiercer, he instead looked sowhat hideous, resembling an antagonist more than the antagonist himself.
Ultimately, there was no choice. Director Ji secretly instructed the caraman to only shoot him from a distance and from the side, without any close-ups, to pass the scene.
Xia Siyu was fashionably late too, and upon arrival, she glanced at Jiang Bui with eyes full of mockery.
Jiang Bui gritted her teeth, “I’d like to see how you perform!”
