“You dare splash soup on me?” The producer was somewhat stunned by the burn.
“Sorry, Mr Zhang, sorry.” Xu Shuiyao quickly took out a napkin and wiped.
“Get lost.” The producer pushed Xu Shuiyao aside.
Immediately, the people at the nearby table also came over. A group of handsome men and beautiful women all watched Xu Shuiyao and Luo Chen with a sense of amusement.
This Mr Zhang was notorious in their circle for being lecherous. Many people had fallen into his hands. Men, after all, could not be tied down even by the most beautiful women, and would constantly seek their next target.
Xu Shuiyao was known in the circle for being pure and self-respecting, so this producer naturally wanted to conquer her.
Who would have thought something like this would happen?
“He is your friend?” The producer was quite clever. He had already asked just now, and Luo Chen was not someone from the circle, so naturally it would not be easy to handle Luo Chen. Therefore, he still directed his spearhead at Xu Shuiyao.
“Mr Zhang, sorry, this is all my fault.” Xu Shuiyao could only take the matter upon herself. She could not afford to offend either side, especially Luo Chen. Xu Shuiyao was really afraid that if Luo Chen got angry, he would burn down the restaurant with a single fire.
“Hmph, your fault?” The producer sneered.
“Slap!” Suddenly, a slap was thrown onto the producer’s face from the side.
“I told you to get lost, didn’t you hear?” Luo Chen could not be bothered with nonsense from this kind of person, and simply struck.
“You dare hit me?” The producer climbed up from the ground, covering his face, and glared at Luo Chen viciously.
He was quite a prominent figure in the circle. Normally, who wouldn’t call him Mr Zhang when they saw him?
But now not only had he been beaten, but he had been beaten in front of these actors under him, making him lose all face.
“If you don’t get lost now, it won’t be as simple as hitting you.” Luo Chen looked at the producer coldly.
“Hmph, fine. You are not from the circle, so I can’t do anything to you. But this friend of yours is from the circle. Let’s see what you can do about it today?” The producer was not stupid either, and directly used this to threaten Luo Chen.
“Don’t you know she hasn’t gotten a role for a long time?”
“You know even less that if she loses this drama, she won’t have any works for several years?”
“By then, don’t even mention being a young actress. As long as she stays silent for five years, she will be completely finished. Once she is old and faded, who will still remember her?” The producer snorted coldly.
“Director Zhang, this is my fault, you…”
“Don’t fucking talk nonsense with me, or I’ll call Director Yan right now!” The producer sneered.
Director Yan was quite a big-name director in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. With decades of experience, he had even personally directed a Hollywood blockbuster abroad. He could be considered a relatively authoritative director.
“You tell him to apologise to me, or I’ll call Director Yan immediately. This drama will change its cast right away!” The producer revealed a gloomy expression, with mockery on his face.
But Xu Shuiyao wouldn’t dare let Luo Chen apologise.
Wouldn’t that be courting death?
“Young man, you’d better apologise to Mr Zhang. Mr Zhang is not as simple as you think in our Hong Kong entertainment circle.” Someone spoke.
“Yes, don’t make Shuiyao lose this opportunity. She really hasn’t received a role for a long time, and this drama is a big production, invested by the Li family, the richest family, with a scale comparable to a large American TV series!” Someone else spoke.
“Now…”
“Bang!” Luo Chen directly picked up a cup from the table and smashed it onto the producer’s face.
“Ah!”
Another scream rang out. A large gash was smashed into the producer’s face.
“You try taking Xu Shuiyao’s role away from her?” Luo Chen sneered.
“Fine, just you wait.” The producer spoke, covering his face.
“Hello, Brother Yan, it’s me. Come over here.” The producer really called the director.
Xu Shuiyao’s heart sank when she heard this. This time it was completely over, really over.
If Director Yan came, she would definitely lose this role.
Before long, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
“What happened?” Director Yan barked.
The producer immediately exaggerated the whole story.
“You don’t need to come tomorrow.” Director Yan directly pointed at Xu Shuiyao and spoke.
The moment these words left his mouth, Xu Shuiyao’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
This drama was her hope for a comeback.
It was also her only chance.
“Shuiyao, is this the friend you made?” A man nearby who looked fairly decent spoke mockingly.
“What a good friend, even Shuiyao’s future is ruined.” Another woman also sneered.
Having offended Director Yan, who would still look for Xu Shuiyao to act in the future?
Xu Shuiyao already had few chances to begin with. Now this was equivalent to being completely finished.
“Hmph, this is the consequence of daring to oppose me.” The producer wiped the blood from his face while looking at Luo Chen coldly.
But at this moment, Luo Chen looked up at the producer and that Director Yan.
“You don’t need to come tomorrow either.” Luo Chen spoke mockingly.
“This drama, you can drop Xu Shuiyao, but you, the director and producer, don’t need to go either.”
“Are you stupid?”
“He is the director, and the other is the producer!”
“They are the two biggest people in the entire drama, and you actually want them not to go either.” Someone mocked.
“Is a director so amazing?” Luo Chen shook his head.
“If the director is gone, another can be found. If the producer is gone, there are plenty waiting.” Luo Chen spoke disdainfully.
“Ho, you really have a big mouth. I’ve been in Hong Kong for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone with such a big mouth.” Director Yan sneered.
“From what I hear, you want to fire me now?” Director Yan directly sat down casually in a chair.
“That’s right, you, the director, are fired.” Luo Chen was very serious, not looking like he was joking at all.
“Xu Shuiyao, are you sure this friend of yours has no brain problems?” Director Yan sneered.
“My drama, and you actually say you want to fire me? Interesting, very interesting.” Director Yan sneered repeatedly.
“I’ve been in this circle for so long, and this is the first time anyone has heard of firing a director.”
At this moment, Xu Shuiyao was also somewhat stunned. She knew Luo Chen was an immortal master and very powerful, but when it came to filming and entertainment circle matters, it seemed an immortal master didn’t have much ability either, did he?
Unless he killed this director, but to fire this director, that was a bit far-fetched.
“I said I’m firing you, so I’m firing you.” Luo Chen spoke very calmly.
“Oh? Then today I want to see how you fire a drama’s director?” Director Yan sneered again.
But then Luo Chen took out his phone and made a call. “Hello, come over here. I want to fire someone!”
