In the back area of the set, a tense atmosphere surrounded the two people.
It was already dark, and the bright lights of the studio shone from a distance, forming a staggered pattern of light and dark.
Director Xu has never seen such a strong Yan Qiang.
From the time we met until now, although Yan Qiang has a cold face, most of the time, she is very easy-going.
Because of this, he did not deal with this matter.
In the entertainment industry, quarrels between fans of various companies are common. No matter how big a celebrity is, they have never said that fans are fighting or apologized.
So he didn't understand the meaning of Yan Qiang's actions.
Yan Qiang's current behavior has no benefit except offending him and Yi Anqi.
This drama has been filmed for such a long time. It’s such a big fuss. How can everyone still get along on the set?
He frowned and felt a little unhappy.
Looking at Yan Qiang in the light and shadow, he pondered for a moment and then asked: "In what capacity are you making this request to me now? The eldest lady of the Yan family or the actress Yan Qiang?"
Yan Qiang looked at him.
How about that Director Xu is a person who deceives the good and fears the evil, and acts according to the circumstances.
What he meant was that if Yan Qiang made this request as the eldest daughter of the Yan family, she was using her identity to put pressure on him.
It's bullying others!
And if Yan Qiang is acting as an actor, then as an actor on the set, she should listen to him as the director. What the director says will be what she says, instead of her forcefully asking for substitutions here.
You say you are giving her two choices, but to put it bluntly, you are actually telling her that you only have one choice -
Calm down the matter and act as if nothing happened.
Seeing Yan Qiang's silence in the shadows, Director Xu actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that he had Yan Qiang in his grasp.
He knew that Yan Qiang's identity was not simple, but Yan Qiang must also know that once she used her identity as the eldest daughter of the Yan family to exert pressure and kick Yi Anqi out of the crew, it would be her fault.
After all, the public opinions on the Internet are created by fans.
Yi Anqi only needs to remove herself cleanly, and she is the most innocent victim. She can even say that the big fan deliberately framed her.
All she needs to do is fail miserably, and the public opinion will be one-sided.
Therefore, Director Xu felt that Yan Qiang was not that stupid.
"Director Xu."
Yan Qiang suddenly shouted.
Director Xu looked at her.
In the dimness, Yan Qiang's eyes were very bright, and she looked at Director Xu quietly: "Our drama is produced by Dayue Media, right?"
Her words stunned Director Xu.
But then, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Yan Qiang was also a little tired from standing. She lightly tapped her feet to relieve the pressure on her legs, and her tone was very casual, "If I remember correctly, Director Xu is the director of Jiahai Media."
Dayue Media and Jiahai Media are both producers of "Niannujiao".
But Dayue Media is the largest producer.
Yan Qiang suddenly proposed this. Could it be that he wanted to replace him as the director?
She could suggest changing the actor, and now she wants to change the director, which is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Director Xu felt a chill go down his spine.
"Yan Qiang, this matter may not be handled properly, but are you too serious about it now? We have something to talk about. Things should be discussed and discussed, don't you agree?"
Wow.
This sudden kind tone made Yan Qiang feel flattered.
"Why is Shang Gang on the line?" Yan Qiang pursed her lips and said helplessly, "I'm just protecting my own reputation. I can't let those unfounded charges and those inexplicable titles be pinned on me, right?"
Before Director Xu could speak, Yan Qiang added, "You also know that I am about to star in Director Han's new play. The most important thing for Director Han is reputation. I am not serious. If I don't deal with this matter, my reputation will collapse." , it is not good to affect our drama and "Juque"."
Director Xu was silent.
The drama "Niannujiao" is not very popular at all, and I don't know what to do with the subsequent publicity.
But "Juque" is a real hit.
Directed by the famous director Han Song, and starring actor Xi Jiamo and actress Jiang Wen, it has its own popularity. It only needs a little marketing to make it extremely popular.
As the lead female lead in "Nian Nujiao", Yan Qiang will later star in "Juque". With the relationship getting better, she can also bring a wave of popularity to "Nian Nujiao".
Regardless of whether it is investment promotion or other business in the later stage, this is a resource.
After such a weighing, the balance immediately tilted.
"Ahem."
Director Xu clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth, and coughed twice tactically.
"I've thought about this matter for a while, and I think what you said makes sense." Director Xu said after considering it, "But if you change people rashly, it will be difficult to find someone who won't talk about it for a while. She will go out by then." If you cry miserably, you are the one who will be affected, right?"
"Otherwise, I ask her to apologize and deal with the big fan?"
This statement is negotiable.
Yan Qiang said nothing.
When she didn't speak, Director Xu knew that she was unhappy.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Finally, Director Xu nodded: "Okay, I can change the person, but after she leaves the crew, your conflicts have nothing to do with me. I am the director, and there is only so much I can do."
This sentence is said to be a compromise, but it is also a warning.
Yan Qiang understands his subtext very well.
"Thank you, director." She smiled slightly.
She was indeed bullying others tonight.
Quarrels between fans and even some offensive press releases have always been prevalent in the entertainment industry. Director Xu is right. No matter how noisy the fans are, it will not have much impact on the main character.
Yan Qiang is so persistent in kicking Yi Anqi out. In addition to Yi Anqi and her team's connivance in this matter, there is another reason.
Yi Anqi signed a contract with Huoyi Media.
Huoyi Media was Ruan Yin’s previous agency.
Ruan Yin's arrest caused serious losses to Huoyi Media. The boss of Huoyi Media also criticized Yan Qiang and was deeply resentful.
What happened this time was just a small test.
They will definitely make big moves next.
…
When Yan Qiang and Director Xu returned to the set, there was nothing strange about their expressions.
"Teacher Yan, do you want to watch us filming here and give us some guidance?" Tan Cen said to Yan Qiang jokingly.
Yan Qiang smiled: "No. I'm almost exhausted after riding in the car all day. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Tan Cen waved his hand.
Yi Anqi has been looking at Yan Qiang since she came out, but Yan Qiang didn't give her a look. Even though she was standing next to Tan Cen, Yan Qiang didn't glance around when talking to Tan Cen. Give her a look.
This made Yi Anqi even more uneasy.
She clenched her hands subconsciously, wondering in her mind what Yan Qiang and the director had just talked about.
"Sister Qiang."
She shouted uncontrollably.
When Yan Qiang looked at her, she suddenly didn't know what to say, but she couldn't say nothing.
She walked up to Yan Qiang with somewhat awkward steps, grabbed the costume on her body with both hands, and said with a complicated face, "Sister Qiang, I just saw what happened on Weibo. I'm sorry, I really don't know why fans are like this." I’m really sorry for doing this. I, I will immediately go to Weibo to clarify.”
Yan Qiang took in her look in her eyes.
From the uneasy look on her face when she came over, to the relief that could not be concealed by the apology on her face when she told this matter.
"You said this."
Yan Qiang spoke calmly, with a smile on her face when she looked at Yi Anqi, looking very kind: "I knew it when I got off the plane."
Yi Anqi looked at her, waiting for her next words.
But Yan Qiang stopped talking.
Yi Anqi wanted to know Yan Qiang's attitude, but Yan Qiang refused to let her know.
In the end, Yi Anqi was defeated.
"I'm sorry, Sister Qiang. I will apologize on Weibo immediately. I will restrain my fans." Yi Anqi sounded apologetic.
Yan Qiang frowned and declined: "If you do this, those fans might say that I'm forcing you to speak for me. Let's leave it at that."
"that's all?"
Yi Anqi was a little in disbelief.
Is Yan Qiang so easy to talk to?
"Yeah." Yan Qiang looked into her eyes, "That's it."
Yan Qiang returned to the hotel.
On set.
The second female lead is going to be replaced, so why shoot now?
The director directly announced the end of work.
Tan Cen originally had a big night to shoot tonight, but this happiness came too suddenly. He was thinking about going out for a meal in the evening.
"Have a rest tonight and let's eat hot pot together?" He raised his chin towards Yi Anqi.
Yi Anqi felt uneasy, but she still nodded and smiled at Tan Cen: "Okay. Do you want to call Sister Qiang?"
"Let me ask."
Tan Cen took out his cell phone and asked Yan Qiang.
Yan Qiang refused on the grounds of rest.
Hot pot restaurant.
Yi Anqi and Tan Cen eat hot pot together. While waiting for the bottom of the pot to boil, Tan Cen asked Yi Anqi curiously: "Did something happen to the crew?"
Yi Anqi paused: "Do you also feel something is wrong?"
"Yeah." Tan Cen said, "As soon as Teacher Yan came, the director stopped work early. He always felt that something was wrong."
Yi Anqi forced a smile: "Teacher Yan is very proud."
Tan Cen said nothing.
Halfway through the hot pot meal, Yi Anqi's cell phone rang suddenly. It was the company's call. As soon as she picked up the call, she heard Director Yang's sullen voice coming from inside.
"Where are you?"
"I was eating hot pot with Tan Cen outside, Mr. Yang, what's wrong?" Yi Anqi was a little cautious.
On the other end of the phone, Yang Gang suppressed his anger: "Xu Ming is going to replace you!"
Yi Anqi was stunned.
Her whole body was trembling.
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that Yan Qiang is going to kick you out of the crew!" Yang Gang said with impatience and annoyance in his tone, "You don't have to act in this drama anymore! Pack your things and leave!"
"Why?" Yi Anqi's voice was trembling, "I signed a contract with the crew!"
Thinking of Tan Cen sitting in front of her, she immediately stood up and strode outside without telling Tan Cen, "Why did she kick me out? What qualifications does she have!"
"You're telling me this now?" Yang Gang also got angry, "Who gave you this bad idea?"
"I……"
"I think you are crazy! Do you know who she is and you dare to mess with her? I asked you to go filming, not to cause trouble for me!"
Yang Gang was really going crazy.
It's one thing that Yan Qiang caused Huoyi Media a big loss, but the biggest problem in that matter was Ruan Yin. Even though he had resentment towards Yan Qiang, he didn't dare to openly talk to Yan Qiang. match.
Yi Anqi is good.
Give him something like this.
Even if this matter has nothing to do with Huoyi Media, Yan Qiang must think that this matter was instigated by Huoqi Media!
Yang Gang is really annoyed.
"I thought……"
Yi Anqi's voice was trembling.
"Don't think so!" Yang Gang was furious. "Before you leave, remember to apologize to Yan Qiang and tell her that this matter was your own decision and had nothing to do with the company."
"Mr. Yang, will I stop filming this movie?" Yi Anqi bit her lip, "Half of the movie has been shot, so my salary..."
"Then admit your defeat."
As soon as Yang finished saying this, he hung up the phone.
Yi Anqi stood outside, holding her phone tightly, feeling cold all over.
Why!
Why would you replace her like this?
Those words were said by the fans, not by her. Even though some of them were her instructions, she had already apologized. Why did Yan Qiang do this?
Can she do whatever she wants because of her high status?
Yi Anqi's eyes were red and her face was full of reluctance. She bit her lips tightly, thinking about what Mr. Yang said to her, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
She turned around and entered the hot pot restaurant.
Tan Cen had been paying attention to her movements. When he saw her coming over with red eyes and a shaky look, he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Yi Anqi lowered her head and remained silent.
She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, biting her lip and not looking at Tan Cen.
The steaming hot pot in front of her exuded an alluring aroma and lingering mist, blurring her face and making her look even more pitiful.
"What happened?"
Tan Cen frowned, "If you run into trouble, you can tell me if you don't mind. Maybe I can help."
Hearing this, Yi Anqi's shoulders shook even more.
She lowered her head and bit her lip to prevent Tan Cen from seeing her tears, but she didn't say a word.
Tan Cen's heart melted when he saw her fragile appearance, and his voice became softer: "Anqi, if you have something to say, don't hide it in your heart alone. Although I don't know what happened, but If you need anything from me, just ask."
Yi Anqi burst into tears.
She raised her head, and in the mist rising from the hot pot, she looked at Tan Cen with tears in her eyes, full of grievances: "Brother Tan Cen, I can't film with you anymore."
Tan Cen was from the north and was used to hearing loud voices. Now, hearing Yi Anqi's delicate and crying voice, which was full of grievances, his heart almost melted.
"What do you mean we can't film together?"
Although Tan Cen was so soft-hearted that he wanted to hold the person in his arms and comfort him softly, he also grasped the key point.
He's not stupid.
He quickly thought of what his assistant had just told him.
Could it be that Yan Qiang was angry and felt that Yi Anqi was instigating what happened online, so she was kicked out of the crew directly?
Can't?
"Brother Tan Cen, I really didn't let the fan network expose Sister Qiang."
Yi Anqi bit her lip lightly and looked at Tan Cen with tearful eyes, "I have apologized to Sister Yan Qiang in private, and she said it was okay, but for some reason, Sister Yan Qiang still told the crew that she wanted me to leave. Let someone else act."
"I really didn't offend her!"
Yi Anqi cried until tears fell in strings.
