Chapter 1556: Slapping Director Liu
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Director Liu explained the incident clearly. “What’s the big deal about an 18th-tier little actress? Does she think that she’s a queen just for making a movie? Does she think that everyone has to coddle her for that?”
“As I said, Mr. Liu, you have been in Mingzhu City for so long. You should also look at the film circle of the Imperial Capital. You’re talking about Ye Tianxin and saying that she is an 18th-tier actress, but she’s not a small-time actress at all. She is the female lead in the hit movie Red Cherry a year ago. Not only did she win the youngest Grand Slam in history with this film, but also she was crowned as the best actress at the Golden Dove Film Festival. Are you still saying she is an 18th-tier actress, or are those film festival judges idiots?”
Director Liu took a deep breath after hearing what his friend said.
Wasn’t it?
How was this possible?
!!
“No, she never said that. I don’t know.”
“You filmmakers in Mingzhu City should learn how to humble yourselves. The Mingzhu movies were only popular in the past. The only way you can make better movies is by having a more open att.i.tude. I introduced you to this film so you could have a good relations.h.i.+p with the military. When the time comes, you’ll have everything you need for your new movie with a little support from the military. Why would you mess up your chances like this?”
Wait, what did he mean by the military?
Director Liu was thinking hard about this. The commander-in-chief of the military region in Shenhai City seemed to have the Surname Shangguan, right?
Was it a compound surname?
Shangguan Ling was the commander’s son?
This…
Director Liu instantly felt as if his world was suddenly falling apart.
How was this possible?
No, how was this possible?
He seemed to be dreaming.
“What am I supposed to do now?”
“Make a salad.”
“I am serious.”
His friend also told him the truth over there. “If you can put down your att.i.tude and apologize, there may be some room for negotiation. Still, it may take more than an apology if you’re dealing with someone like Shangguan Ling.”
Director Liu thought so too.
That man didn’t seem to have a good temper.
However, he couldn’t have a grudge against Shangguan Ling, no matter what he did.
Shangguan Ling was no ordinary person.
“Tianxin, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take a good look at Director Liu’s character. I would’ve realized how arrogant he was if I did.”
Ye Tianxin knew it wasn’t Shangguan Ling’s fault at all.
Honestly, Director Liu’s films were pretty good.
It was just that his character wasn’t the best.
It didn’t matter at all.
“Then, what should we do now? We might not be able to make this film without the support of the professional directors.”
Shangguan Ling said, “It’s all right. There will be a director. We can call Director Jin if we have to.”
“Or I’ll call Director Jin right now.”
After all, Ye Tianxin was Director Jin’s G.o.ddaughter. It was good to use this ident.i.ty once in a while.
Ye Tianxin made a phone call to Director Jin, who naturally agreed to make this film.
“Okay, we have the director.”
Just then, the chubby Director Liu ran to Shangguan Ling and Ye Tianxin. He was out of breath.
“Sorry, you guys. I was blind…”
Shangguan Ling glanced at Director Liu’s expression now. He was so arrogant at first, but his att.i.tude changed in an instant. The only thing that could be explained must be that the middleman told him who he was.
When he first learned that Director Liu was going to make a military-style movie, he thought he could provide some hardware support if he could.
