Chapter 631 - Yun Xiangxiang’s Cunning Schemes

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After hanging up the phone, Yun Xiangxiang’s face turned ugly.

“What’s troubling you?”Song Mian asked in a low voice.

“I might need a partner I don’t like.”After answering song Mian, Yun Xiangxiang called Wei Shanwen.

She looked out of the window. At this moment, they were on the highway, and there were not many cars passing by. The buildings on the side of the road passed by in a hurry, and she could not even see their real faces clearly.

To her, Chu Chen was like the buildings on both sides of the road. She did not want him to stop for a second in his life.

There was nothing she could do about Xu Chen. After Xu Chen joined the crew, Yun Xiangxiang knew what kind of person he was. She also did not have the right to interfere with the right of a crew to choose other roles.

Yun Xiangxiang had seen Chu Chen’s face clearly before. This man was very good at acting, and he was a little unscrupulous.

Just because Yun Xiangxiang thought that “Jiu se”was very popular at that time, he was the limelight. He was a senior, and not an outdated senior, but he was actually so ungentlemanly. He released the matters that had not been settled in private and took the opportunity to create hype.

Yet, he was just like Qin Yue. It was one thing for him to flatter him, but he still wanted to step on her.

Well, actually, he was more brilliant than Qin Yue. If they really pursued the matter, he was just spreading the truth. As for the rumors that followed, it was the media’s own imagination and had nothing to do with him..

This was probably the difference between having status and having no status. Back then, Qin Yue leeched off her popularity and needed to buy her own internet trolls. Now, she was not the Yun Xiangxiang of the past. Chu Chen’s status was even more incomparable to Qin Yue’s. The moment there was a stir.., naturally, there was no lack of people spreading it themselves.

However, it was not Chu Chen’s first day in the entertainment industry. How could he not know that even if he said something unintentional, it would cause a stir in Yun Xiangxiang?

“Xiangxiang, what’s the matter?”Wei Shanwen answered the phone.

“Director Wei, I heard that Chu Chen has the intention to contact our production team?”Yun Xiangxiang did not beat around the bush.

Yun Xiangxiang asked so directly, so Wei Shanwen could not be careless. “I just had a meeting with them. It’s possible.”

“I want to know how likely it is?”Yun Xiangxiang asked again.

“Chu Chen’s status is high. He accepted the role with Xu Chen’s salary and conditions. The production team took advantage of it. Most of the investors agreed, but the producers remained neutral. I’m the only one hesitating.”Wei Shanwen’s tone was a little helpless.

Chu Chen was indeed older. It did not fit the feeling that he wanted to create a fairy tale atmosphere. The screenwriter said that it could be changed appropriately. Chu Chen was not too old to watch. He could change it to the pure sweet doting of an “Old man and young wife”, it would also reduce the friction between young people. This kind of accommodation and care would easily confuse people’s hearts.

Weren’t there beauties and beasts overseas? They only had an uncle and a Lolita.

“Director Wei, let me make a statement to you first. As an actor, I don’t have the right to criticize others. No matter who is the male lead, I will do my duty. However, I have a little conflict with Chu Chen, and I’m not a person who would stir up trouble. As for what kind of person Chu Chen is, I don’t know yet, and I won’t comment on it. “But if he does anything in private, I won’t be at a disadvantage.”

Xu Chen had already considered the big picture and had backed down. If it came down to another one, she would definitely not back down even half a step.

Everyone was clear about what had happened on the Internet. Outsiders might not be able to understand, but everyone in the industry knew. The partners would definitely not expose Yun Xiangxiang’s dissatisfaction with the treatment. After all, she was a luxury brand, so she still had her bearing.

Moreover, there were many cases where the buyers and sellers failed to agree on the price, so how could they use this as an excuse to fall out.

The news would still leak out, and the biggest suspect would definitely be Chu Chenfang. Chu Chenfang had always had a good reputation in the entertainment industry. The only problem was that whenever a new drama was released, someone would always build a ladder for him.

Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but if there were more times, no one would be a fool. Perhaps this was the work of Chu Chenfang’s company or his agent, but with his current status, it was not a problem to stop him.

“You’re so honest, and I’m telling you the truth. I’ve considered this point,”Wei Shanwen said frankly, “This point doesn’t hold water with them. There are many people in the entertainment industry who secretly want to put the other party in a position where they will never be able to turn things around, but aren’t they still grinning in front of you?”

The investors were more concerned about their own interests. It was obvious that the benefits brought by Chu Chen were huge. Wei Shanwen’s arm could not wring his thigh.

Xu Chen was the one who was in the wrong. Their retreat was justified. The company also apologized politely. In order to make up for it, they pushed one of their shareholders, Chu Chen, to clean up the mess. This was already a huge concession.

If they did not accept Chu Chen, they would be determined to shed all pretense with the other company. In the circle, even if they hated Chu Chen so much, it was impossible to shed all pretense of cordiality. Some face-saving ties still needed to be maintained.

No matter how one looked at it, accepting Chu Chen was worth a thousand times more than rejecting Chu Chen.

“I understand. Director Wei, try to buy me some time. I’ll see if I can give them a more satisfied person.”Yun Xiangxiang knew that Wei Shanwen was more concerned about his own work.

“More satisfied than Chu Chen?”Wei Shanwen could not help but be happy. “Right now, the status of the film industry in the mainland’s entertainment circle is higher than Chu Chen’s. The only person who is the same age as him is Lu Jin. Can you invite Lu Jin over?”

Xue Yu was no match for Chu Chen. Wei Shanwen knew that Lu Jin and Yun Xiangxiang had a good personal relationship, but Lu Jin’s value was many times higher than Xu Chen’s. Was Lu Jin willing to lower his value for Yun Xiangxiang’s sake?

“Director Wei, Xu Chen has brought us a lot of negative comments and even delayed the progress of our production team. Isn’t the production team burning money every day?”Yun Xiangxiang’s lips curled into a meaningful smile, “If Chu Chen doesn’t raise his social status, then it’s their fault. It’s a matter of course. Then how should we calculate the other losses we’ve caused?”

In the absence of comparison, Chu Chen replacing Xu Chen in this manner appeared to be a little condescending and full of sincerity.

But what if there was a comparison? It would depend on whether the investors and producers were unwilling to accept it.

As long as they were not satisfied with the other party’s compensation, everything was still up for discussion.

Lu Jin’s status was there. As long as Lu Jin expressed his intention, it was normal for them to favor Lu Jin. Chu Chen’s status was not comparable to theirs, so how could they be blamed?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You Little Fox, you want me to ruin it.”Wei Shanwen could not help but be happy. Yun Xiangxiang was getting more and more interesting.

Yun Xiangxiang would not let Lu Jin lower himself to get involved in this film for her sake. However, she could ask Lu Jin to act in a play for her, such as Lu Jin’s agent having a meal with them, and then spread the news to Chu Chen’s side.

At this time, she would continue to sow discord between the investors and the producers.
