Director Yang Rui frowned, feeling that he had been too impatient. He had only wanted to make use of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an to hype up the movie, but … he had neglected the fact that the male lead was a rookie actor who had yet to grow up!
For a rookie like him to receive such a strong blow on his first try, it was easy for him to be beaten down to the ground and unable to stand up again.
The staff in the production crew were in no mood to work. They discussed among themselves, and the atmosphere in the production crew became strange …
Everyone was guessing if the director would be replaced, and if Fu Huai 'an, the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, would agree to help with this movie!
How could anyone in the production crew, including Director Yang Rui, feel at ease filming the movie?
After filming the first scene, Yang Rui was extremely vexed. He said a few words to the assistant director, who gave him some advice. Yang Rui looked like he was in a difficult position …
After a long while, Yang Rui absentmindedly asked everyone to rest and walked towards Fang Yan's car.
Director Yang Rui wasn't good at handling crises, but Fang Yan was …
"Sister Fang Yan …" Yang Rui leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette. "Was I too impatient this time? I did hype up the movie, but now the netizens are clamoring to change the male and female leads. I think Lin Nuan is able to withstand pressure like a normal person, but the male lead, Zhang Jingcong … "
Yang Rui exhaled a smoke ring and sighed. "Look, this kid has been dealt such a blow that he can't even stand up!"
Fang Yan turned to look at Yang Rui, a hint of a smile in her eyes. "So you plan to change Zhang Jingcong?"
"I have no such plans!" Yang Rui anxiously defended himself.
Fang Yan nodded.
Yang Rui looked in the direction of Lin Nuan, who was reading her script. He tapped away the cigarette ash and said, "Lin Nuan has been through a lot on the internet, and she's also been through the situation in Iraq. Her mental endurance is definitely more than ten times stronger than the average person! But Zhang Jingcong is still a rookie. He prepared for so long … worked so hard, and was so confident when he came. If he were to be beaten down now, that kid would have no future … "
"So?" Fang Yan asked.
"So … I wanted to ask you, how can we get that kid to stand up? Do your best in filming! "Yang Rui gazed at Fang Yan sincerely.
"I'm not a doctor. how can I get him to stand up?" Fang Yan laughed, turned around, and grabbed a lady's cigarette from the seat behind her. She took one out and bit it at the corner of her lips before lighting it up.
"Sister Fang Yan! You know what I mean! "Yang Rui really wasn't in the mood to joke around with Fang Yan.
Fang Yan exhaled a thin puff of smoke before calmly saying, "Just tell him that you have no intention of replacing him. No matter what the netizens say, you chose him, so you'll use him to the end. I hope he won't disappoint you! Don't let all the netizens scold you after the movie is released! "
Actually, Yang Rui just didn't understand Zhang Jingcong's true problem...
Ever since Fu Huai 'an had started acting as Zhang Jingcong's stunt double, Zhang Jingcong had been worried that he would be replaced by the director. Otherwise, why would he say that he wasn't in a hurry to find a stunt double? But when he saw Fu Huai' an in his combat uniform, he gritted his teeth and insisted on going even though he was clearly injured?
Now that the call for him to be replaced is so strong online, he must have thought that the director would definitely replace him this time, so he fell sick.
Yang Rui was an artist, so it was impossible for him to think of these things …

He frowned and asked Fang Yan, "Will this work?"
"What do you think?!" Fang Yan was displeased with Yang Rui's attitude. She flicked her cigarette and said, "Just do whatever you think will work. Is there a need to ask me?"
"I think … President Fu should probably go and talk to him. Isn't that better?" Yang Rui didn't catch the meaning in Fang Yan's words. He very naturally moved closer to Fang Yan, leaned his head over, and said in a low voice, "Don't you think so?"
Fang Yan was rendered speechless.
Who said that Yang Rui was a straightforward person? Look at how good he was at beating around the bush!
He was clearly trying to get Fang Yan to talk to Lin Nuan, then get Lin Nuan to ask Fu Huai 'an to do Zhang Jingcong's job.
"Yang Rui …" Fang Yan was displeased and directly called out Yang Rui's name. "You said you wanted money, but President Fu gave you the money. You wanted a stunt double … President Fu didn't say anything and became your actor's stunt double. What's the matter? Does President Fu owe you? You don't have a psychiatrist here, yet you still want President Fu to do it. How shameless are you? "
"Sister Fang Yan, don't be angry. Let's talk this out …" Yang Rui lowered his stance and smiled at Fang Yan shamelessly.
"If you want to talk this out, you're the one who has to talk this out!" Fang Yan didn't give him any face at all. "President Fu is the kind of person who earns tens of millions every minute. How much did you pay him to be your actor's psychiatrist?"
"I really didn't mean it that way. I'm just discussing it with you because I don't know about these things. If you don't think it's okay, then I definitely won't do it!" Yang Rui saw that the slim lady's cigarette in Fang Yan's hand was about to burn out. He hurriedly took Fang Yan's cigarette box from the chair, took out a cigarette, and brought it to Fang Yan's mouth.
"Don't give me that!" Fang Yan pushed Yang Rui's hand away. "Everyone says that Yang Rui is a rare straightforward person. Why have you learned to beat around the bush with me today?"
"I was forced to do it! I was forced to do it! " Yang Rui sighed, but he still told Fang Yan the truth. "I … couldn't bring myself to talk to Zhang Jingcong. You're right … I'm too shameless. I actually wanted to ask President Fu to do it. Perhaps it's because President Fu grants me whatever I ask of him, so I went overboard!"
"Good that you know!"
Fang Yan stared at Yang Rui, displeased.
"Fine …" Yang Rui threw the cigarette in his hand onto the ground and stamped it out with the tip of his foot. He let out a long breath and said, "I'll go look for Zhang Jingcong and talk to him like you taught me!"
When Yang Rui came to look for Fang Yan, she had already received the news that the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily had posted three consecutive posts on Weibo. She was in a good mood after seeing them, so she didn't argue with Yang Rui anymore.
After Yang Rui left, Fang Yan turned on her tablet again. Chu Xun and Lin Nuan's names had already occupied the headlines of all the major media outlets.
The deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily's first Weibo post was a long one, describing how Chu Xun, him, and another assistant set foot on Iraq back then …
He said that on June 10, 2014, he and a few other colleagues, who were still Chu Xun's assistant at the time, were taken out for a meal by Chu Xun. During the meal, Chu Xun invited them to accompany her to Iraq, saying that she had gotten the chance to go to the frontlines of the Iraqi war to gather news and information. She hoped they could go with her, saying that it was a chance for them to get a promotion, get a raise, and gain fame!
The first update … there are two more updates. I'll be a little slower. My babies, don't be anxious! You can read it tomorrow morning …
