In the Fengmo private room of the Sheng Tang Cafe, the new Hundred Flowers Award winner, Liu Shishi, brought two assistants and an agent to meet the executive director of the production team of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The executive director, Peng Chunfa, and the assistant director of the production team were all present.
The room was filled with a gentle and elegant melody. Peng Chunfa was holding the script and speaking a few words from time to time. Exemplary Liu was also holding the script and comparing it with it. However, as the executive director spoke, she slowly frowned.
She wanted to interrupt him several times, but she could only hold it in due to politeness.
When he finally finished speaking, Exemplary Liu closed the script, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Director Peng, there's something I don't quite understand. Originally, we were talking about the role of Mu Nianci, but why are we talking about Mei Chaofeng now?”
Her words were tactful and did not carry a trace of anger.
Peng Chunfa took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and waved his hand."Originally, I was going to let you play the role of Mu Nianci. In the beginning, I even thought that you could play the role of Huang Rong. However, considering the issue of acting experience, it was difficult to grasp the character of Huang Rong. A little carelessness could ruin the character. The character Mu Nianci is strong and infatuated. It is a sad character. You are still inexperienced, so it will be difficult to control this character. So after weighing the pros and cons, I've decided to let you play Mei Chaofeng's role. This role is easier to control and can be considered as a training role for you. We'll have many opportunities to work together in the future, so there's no need to be so anxious.”
Her words made Exemplary Liu fall silent. She was obviously not in a good mood. It was hard to accept that she had been promoted from a supporting actress to an unknown female lead.
When the executive director saw this, he gave the assistant director a look. The assistant director immediately said,"Yeah, although you're already the best actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards, your debut time is still too short. You should hone yourself more and familiarize yourself with the various roles. This will be of great benefit to you in the future.”
There was no room for retreat. Exemplary Liu's manager started to complain when she saw this.
"Director Peng, isn't this a little unfair to Senior Sister Shi? She urgently needs a good role to take a step forward. We only cooperated with your production team because we trust you. You're too disappointing now.”
"Director Peng, please reconsider.”
The assistant also spoke up. Director Peng looked a little embarrassed, and his eyes were a little angry. How dare a manager and assistant speak to him like this? Are you tired of living?
At this moment, Exemplary Liu said,""Director Peng, I've been learning the role of Mu Nianci for a long time. I already have a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the lines. If it's Mei Chaofeng now, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to control. Director Peng, or…"
"That's enough. I'll play the role of Mei Chaofeng. You guys can go back and prepare!”
Peng Chun was furious. He slammed the table and stood up. He actually provoked his dignity time and time again. An actor was an actor. How could he argue with the director?
Facing his sudden anger, Liu Shishi and the others were not prepared at all.
Peng Chunfa snorted and said,"Assistant Director, send them out. Don't be an eyesore here. Mei Chaofeng is your last chance. If you don't want to act, then get lost. There are a lot of people waiting for me to give them a role.”
Seeing this, the assistant director also stood up and pushed the few of them out.
Liu Shishi and the others were furious." Even if we don't want to cooperate, Director Peng can't humiliate us like this. Moreover, our original contract was for the role of Mu Nianci. Director Peng is breaking the contract…"
"Ruin my ass. If you don't want to act, get lost.”
The assistant director seemed to have seen an opportunity and immediately chased her out of the private room. Then, a few crew members who were waiting outside also came forward and chased her away.
Peng Chunfa, who was in the private room, smiled when he saw this. He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. He smiled and reported.
Exemplary Liu and the other three were driven to the stairs by the crew members. They were indignant. Although they had suffered a lot in the past, this was the first time they had been treated so badly.
She had debuted for a year and was considered lucky. Although she mainly acted in supporting roles and had been to more than a dozen shows, she had never encountered such a production team.
"Director Peng, please come out and give me an explanation!”
Exemplary Liu's face was filled with anger. Even though she had a good temper, she couldn't help but get angry.
However, the assistant director rolled his eyes and said impatiently,"Who do you think you are? Didn't she just become the Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Awards? Hmph, if you don't have a good role to consolidate, you'll be forgotten in a year.”
Reality was cruel. After becoming a Best Actress, one needed good works to consolidate their position. If they didn't have any, they would basically be useless.
Exemplary Liu understood this and took a step forward.
The assistant director stopped him and pushed him away.
How could a weak woman like Exemplary Liu possibly defeat a man? She was pushed backward by him, and behind her was the stairs.
If he fell down the stairs, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.
Exemplary Liu was stunned. Her manager, assistant, and even the assistant director and crew were stunned.
If anything were to happen to him from the fall, he might be charged with intentional injury. He would no longer be an assistant director and would be ready to go to jail.
No one could react in time. Exemplary Liu's mind went blank as she looked up at the ceiling in despair.
However, at this moment, a figure quickly rushed up from the stairs. One hand wrapped around her shoulder, and the other hand pressed against her waist. Her falling body suddenly stopped.
Exemplary Liu did not feel any pain, but her mind was already in a daze. She widened her eyes and looked at the face in front of her, looking a little cute.
"What's going on?"
The man spoke softly. His voice was steady and powerful, but it also carried a hint of cynicism.
"Ah!"
Exemplary Liu came back to her senses and blushed when she saw the posture.
The production team and the manager also came back to their senses at this time. The manager and assistant quickly went downstairs.
