Chapter 221 - Face Slapping Continued
“W… what?” Si Fuying looked at Shen Jie in disbelief, “Director Shen, what are you talking about?! You want to change the female lead?!”
Shen Jie made a confused noise. Then looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot, “Didn’t you say you don’t want to act in it anymore?”
“I…” Fu Siying pointed at her own nose, “I said, if you don’t fire those two, I won’t be your female lead anymore!”
“My ability to understand is intact.” Shen Jie stretched out her ear and said in a serious manner, “I’m not going to fire those two, so you will no longer be the female lead. That leaves me with no choice but to get another female lead.”
Fu Siying, “…”
After a moment of shock, she finally found her voice again, “Director Shen, please don’t forget my brother is the biggest investor for this film!”
“Of course I know.” Shen Jie said, “But please don’t think you can use that against me for everything. At most, I stop directing the film! After all, the one who stirred up stuff unnecessarily wasn’t me. Even if you get your brother here, you would still be the first one who broke the contract!”
What a joke! This film was one that Fu Xiujin spent big bucks on in order to get Shen Jie and Yi Qinghan. Why would he give everything up for that spoiled woman?
He was even worried originally that the release of this film would ruin him and Yi Qinghang’s reputation.
Now that Feng Ci has said she may sell them the film rights to her book, why would he care about this film?
Fu Siying didn’t expect Shen Jie’s attitude to be so determined. Her face was now in batches of green and white.
Of course, she realized how fortunate it was for her to get the opportunity to act in this film. When she threatened to quit, it was just a blank used to fire those two extras
However, Yi Qinghan and Shen Jie were not two people anyone could hire just by throwing cash at them.
After all, those two were already the number one actor and the number one director. They didn’t need any more names or any more money.
It was because her brother personally came out and requested for them in order to help launch her career.
Plus, Yi Qinghan was her idol. How could she give up on being the female lead?
After all the thoughts rushed through her head, she glared at Qiao Qing violently.
It was all because of that b!tch. She was the reason why the situation turned so awkward!
No matter what, she had to keep her role in this film.
Making up her mind, her tone softened but she continued to attempt to save her own face.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. Those two extras offended me so I deserve an apology! Also, that person, I don’t know she did it, but she pushed me into the lake! She needs to apologize to me too!”
“How did we offend you?!” Zhang Li shouted back, “You were the one who asked your assistant to push Xiyan into the water! She did nothing to deserve that!!?? If you ask me, you should be the one apologizing to her!”
“You!” Fu Siying had a furious expression and headed forward to slap her.
Zhang Li was scared away.
“Enough!” Shen Jie yelled, “Do you want to keep filming or not?! If you do, then stop trying to start sh!t for no reason! If you don’t want to keep filming, then get the hell out of here! You really think this place is your private back garden?!”
Fu Siying got scolded. She was so angry she was shaking.
With much hatred, she stared at Qiao Qing and her crew, “Just you wait!”
Then, she ran back to her own resting room.
Shen Jie watched Fu Siying leave and shook his head. When his gaze went back to Qiao Qing, it turned back into the expression of a greedy dog, “Are you happy with how I dealt with that?”
Qiao Qing, “…”
Everyone else, “…”
Qiao Qing ignored him. Instead, she dragged Lin Xiyan to an isolated place, “Why did you think to come here and be an extra?”
Lin Xiyan answered honestly, “I have nothing lined up for the summer so I figured I’d come out and work a little. Qingqing, we still owe you $300,000 in medical bills.”
Qiao Qing’s pursed lips quivered a bit, “How’s your dad doing?”
Lin Xiyan smiled happily, “He’s much better now!”
