Chapter 766 - Showdown
Hello Mr. King
Yun Xiangxiang recalled that many people had taken special care of her during filming. Even though she had repeatedly stated that there was no need for this, everyone treated her like a porcelain doll. Yun Xiangxiang felt helpless, but she did not argue anymore.
Song Mian could not follow her to the set either. He could only wait for her at home and take care of her three meals a day.
Yun Xiangxiang did not know if it was because there were no more action scenes, or because of Song Mianâs meticulous care. She had stayed up more than usual, but Yun Xiangxiang did not look as Haggard as before.
As December was about to end, he wei brought Yun Xiangxiang Bad News.
âMilai is negotiating with ârescue operationâ.â
The film âRescue Operationâhad not been agreed to, mainly because he wei was very firm on the terms. ârescue operationâdid not compromise, because according to He Wei, Yun Xiangxiang would not bear any financial losses for the filmâs box office earnings.
As both sides were in a tug of war, there were still a few months before the start of filming, and neither side had any intention of relenting.
Yun Xiangxiang had originally had the advantage, but now that Mi Lai had come back and interfered, the advantage suddenly became Mu Qin and the others.
âDid director Mu Tell You?âYun Xiangxiang asked.
âThatâs not it. It would be demeaning for him to act personally. Naturally, there are thousands of ways to let me know.âHe Wei shook his head with a smile.
Although businessmen pursued profits and everyone was doing it for their own interests, Mu Qin was not some random cat or dog that could be waved around at will. The film that Mi Lai had been talking about was turned down because of a Hollywood blockbuster.
This was a slap in Mu Qinâs face. Mu Qin also had some backbone. How could Mi Lai come back as she wished?
In this film industry, she was not the only person with box office appeal.
However, the film crew and Yun Xiangxiang were in a stalemate. Mi Lai was willing to lower herself and pay the price for her past recklessness. Mu Qin and the others might accept her if she gave up the generous conditions to join the film crew.
In the same industry, everyone would see each other whenever they saw each other. This time, Mi Lai had gone a little overboard, but it was not unforgivable.
In the end, she did not sign the contract. Mi Lai had the right to choose. Moreover, giving up a domestic film for Hollywood was something that many actors would choose.
âBrother Wei, what do you mean?âYun Xiangxiang asked He Wei for his opinion.
âI have understood the intention of the film investors. They are more biased towards Milai.âThis was the reality. Milaiâs international influence was greater than Yun Xiangxiangâs, âMu Qin, the producer, and Lu Jin will definitely choose you. This way, the two of you are evenly matched.â
Mu Qin did not lack investors, so he was not afraid that the investors would withdraw their investment. Lu Jin himself had connections, and many people pointed to Lu Jin to make money.
Huan Yu Century Entertainment was not a vegetarian. Even if Huan Yu century entertainment invested in Yun Xiangxiang again, no matter how unconvinced the people in the company were, they could not refute the profits brought by âJiu Se.â.
âSo, brother Wei means to not give in even an inch.âYun Xiangxiang understood he Weiâs plan.
âYes.âHe Wei nodded. âI can see that you like this film very much.â
If he did not see Yun Xiangxiangâs heartfelt love, he wei would not have come to discuss with Yun Xiangxiang.
He would have dealt with it himself, but in the end, he might have lost the opportunity.
âThen I wonât let you.âYun Xiangxiang naturally supported he wei. âI do like it, but whether it is now or in the future, there will be many things I like. I am alone, and sometimes I have no time to spare. There will come a time when I have to learn to give up.â
So Be it. who could live without any regrets?
âThen Iâll answer them.âHe Wei was very happy.
Yun Xiangxiang nodded and paused before asking, âXu Ziâs side...â
More than half of Xu Ziâs confinement period had passed, and everything had been peaceful. Yun Xiangxiang became even more worried.
âI guess she has already noticed something.âHe Wei sighed lightly. âYour senior brotherâs acting is not bad. If he was willing, he would definitely be able to trick Xu Zi out of her confinement before revealing his cards. However, he isnât willing to lie, and it wasnât easy for him to calm down.â
In order to stabilize Xue Yu, he Wei had spent a lot of effort. This time, it had hurt him a lot.
âItâs about time...âeven though Xu Zi might still be injured if she revealed her cards now, it still wouldnât kill her.
Yun Xiangxiang didnât want this matter to drag on for too long. She wanted to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.
âI also plan to step in and have a good talk with her. I also want to know what her choice will be.âHe Wei stood up. âThis is between your senior brother and me. Donât worry, just focus on the filming. Iâll go take care of things first.â
Yun Xiangxiang watched he wei leave and suddenly felt a little upset. She felt that this matter was a little tricky and would not be as easy to solve as they had expected.
Yun Xiangxiangâs guess was very accurate. The next day, when she was filming, Xu Zi ran to the production team to look for her.
When she saw Xu Zi, Yun Xiangxiang tried her best to make herself expressionless.
âXiangxiang, where is your senior brother? Can you let him see me? I have something to say to him.âXu Zi pounced on Yun Xiangxiang and grabbed her arm.
Yun Xiangxiangâs arm had not fully recovered and she could not break free. There were people coming and going and the entire crew was looking at them. Yun Xiangxiang suppressed her temper and said coldly, âLet go of me first. Letâs talk somewhere else.â
âI just want to see him. Please, let me see him.âXu Zi was unwilling to let go.
Yun Xiangxiang used her other hand to grab her wrist and said in a low voice, âIf you want to make a big deal out of this, who do you think will be the one to lose face in the end?â
Xu Zi was in pain, but she held it in and did not cry out. At this time, Song Qian, who had already returned, stepped forward and said, âYou havenât given birth yet. Let me help you.â
Yun Xiangxiang walked in front while song Qian carried Xu Zi and followed behind. Coco cleverly tried to mediate the situation.
Yun Xiangxiang had a separate dressing room. When she entered, Xu Zi was pushed in by Song Qian. Song Qian stood guard at the door.
âYou... you also know, right?âXu Zi looked at Yun Xiangxiang, whose back was facing her.
âSo what if I know?âYun Xiangxiang looked at Xu Zi behind her in the mirror. âOr do you think itâs Not Enough? Do you want the whole world to know?â
Xu Ziâs face was even paler, and her eyes were bloodshot. She did not dare to look at Yun Xiangxiang, but she did not plan to leave just like that. âLet me see him one last time. I beg you.â
âWhy?âYun Xiangxiang asked her. âNow that things have come to this, itâs useless to say anything, isnât it? You betrayed him.â
âI didnât!âXu Zi retorted hysterically to Yun Xiangxiang. As she spoke, her tears fell. âI just want to see him.â
Yun Xiangxiang remained unmoved.
Xu Zi begged for a long time before wiping her tears. âI donât want to go to his company to stop him. Donât force me. I have to see him. I donât want to redeem anything. I just... I just donât want to see him again. Iâm not willing...â
