Chapter 121 - 121 Rejection
121 Rejection
The investor related to He Yu was called Fan Bin. He was an investment player and was friends with the CEO of Cultural and Creative Entertainment Company. He also had some shares in the company. That was why he agreed to his friend’s request and strongly recommended He Yu to appear in this movie.
He had worked with Sun Li twice before and could be considered to be on good terms with him. Hence, he looked for Sun Li after receiving He Yu’s call to complain. “Old Sun, didn’t you say that filming was about to start? Why are you changing the female lead again?”
Sun Li was angered by He Yu, so his words were a little impolite. “You said that you have to use He Yu. You know my rules. If you join my production team, you have to film obediently. You can’t bring in any disruptive behavior, let alone cause trouble in the production team. You promised me that she would be good, but she caused trouble for me before we even filmed the movie. She even offended someone. How am I supposed to answer her?”
Sun Li would not lie to him about these things, so Fan Bin was a little displeased with He Yu after hearing this. Even if she wanted to throw a tantrum, she would have to see the occasion. Did she think that she was still filming a television drama? She was the biggest star in the production team, so she was making a scene at will?
However, He Yu was one of his subordinates after all, so Fan Bin still tried his best to fight for her. “This is Little He’s first time filming a movie, so she doesn’t know many rules. She’s young and a little rash, so she might not be too careful and accidentally offend someone.”
He called out to Sun Li. “How about this? I’ll be the mediator. I’ll set up two tables here and invite the person involved to join us. I’ll get Little He to pour tea and apologize to the other party. Let’s reduce the matter to a small one and let it go. It’s also good that we won’t delay the filming of the new drama. Otherwise, it would take you a lot of effort to find another suitable female lead.”
The two of them had a pleasant cooperation previously. Sun Li did not want to ruin their relationship, so he could only remind him tactfully, “She offended that person from the Ji Family. She even dared to drug someone. I don’t have the face to help her deal with such a serious matter. As for the female lead, I’ve already found a suitable candidate, so the filming can start on time. You can rest assured about that.”
When Fan Bin heard that, he thought that He Yu had drugged Ji Jun, so he was also shocked. “That ancestor1? Why did she provoke him?” Wasn’t she sitting on a tiger’s head and plucking its whiskers?
Sun Li shrugged. “God knows. Perhaps the feelings of a young girl are always romantic.”
No matter how romantic she was, she could not go into the mountains when she knew that there were tigers in them. Was Ji Jun someone that ordinary people could win over? After so many years, those who dared to lay their hands on him would be severely injured at best, and at worst, the person would no longer exist in the industry. It was already considered a rare mercy for her to be kicked out of the production team for daring to drug Ji Jun.
Fan Bin had a headache and called the CEO of her company. “I can’t do anything about the trouble she caused. As for being the female lead, she can forget about it. The production team has already chosen someone else.”
After He Yu received the news, she smashed the hotel room. “That bastard Sun Li dared to replace me because of such a small matter?”
The company’s CEO advised her, “Anyway, you don’t lack movie scripts now. We can choose another one.”
“How can that be the same?” Quitting was different from being chased out of the production team.
“That can’t be helped. They said that they’ve already found another person to act in it.”
He Yu gritted her teeth. “I think this matter was caused by Ji Jun to support his little lover. No wonder he pounced on her to save her previously.”
The CEO of the company was also a little angry and helpless. “This industry is like this. If Ji Jun can suppress Sun Li and replace you, we can only lower our heads.”
However, He Yu was used to her career going smoothly in the past and was unwilling to lower her head. Hence, she wanted to encourage her fans and public opinion to grab the resources for her like before.
The production team sent her back, but they did not take back the script. He Yu took out the script, put it on the table and took a photo. Then, she posted the photo online. [I like this script very much and have put in a lot of effort for it, but it’s a pity that we’re not fated enough. Because of some personal reasons, I can’t continue filming. I wish the production team a smooth filming and a huge box office sales.]
No one could say anything inappropriate just by looking at the photos and text. At least, after Sun Li saw it, he thought that she was finding a dignified excuse to suddenly leave the production team.
However, Ji Jun did not think so. In his opinion, someone like He Yu, who could poison someone over a small matter, would probably not let the matter rest.
