Watching Luochen make a phone call with an air of confidence.
The others, including several crew members, immediately showed cold sneers and expressions of eager anticipation.
Director Yan also revealed a mocking look. A young man of unknown origin, supposedly claiming he would fire a director from a film?
In all his years in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no one had ever dared to speak such arrogant words in front of him!
Moreover, he was a renowned figure throughout the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle.
If you offended him, it meant you were completely finished.
With a single word from him, the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry would blacklist you.
Xu Shuiyao was already standing to one side, her face pale with fright. It was not that she did not believe in Luochen, but rather that Luochen truly had no connection to the entertainment industry.
So how could Luochen possibly fire a director?
And given today’s situation, both the producer and Director Yan had been thoroughly offended. From now on, she would certainly have no place in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Who did not know that Director Yan was notoriously petty?
And who did not know that Director Yan was a super A-list director? With a single word from him, how many other directors would follow his lead?
“Xu Shuiyao, after today, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, do not even speak of filming or being the second female lead. I guarantee that not even a single extra role will be offered to you!” Director Yan sat to one side, having someone light a cigar for him.
These words caused the rest of the crew to look at Xu Shuiyao with pity.
They knew that after today, Xu Shuiyao was completely done for, finished for good.
And the instigator of all this was this young man who had declared he would fire Director Yan.
But just at this moment, a group of people suddenly entered the restaurant. The leader was likewise a middle-aged man.
Director Yan, who had been smoking his cigar, immediately stood up upon seeing that person. Even the entire crew instantly became solemn and respectful.
Because this person was none other than the investor of their film, and also the representative of the most influential entertainment company in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, Tianyu Entertainment!
This entertainment company encompassed almost every aspect of the industry, including television stations, cinema chains, singers, variety shows, films, and television dramas.
And this man was the chairman of Tianyu, the representative figure of Tianyu Entertainment.
In the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle, he was the true boss!
A film, or rather its director, producer, and actors, were all very important, but there was one prerequisite.
That was the financial backer!
Without an investor, what the hell could a director film?
Without someone to fund you, forget about making a film, you could not even afford a single camera.
More importantly, the man not only owned cinema chains and radio stations himself, but also had excellent relationships with the heads of all the major television stations.
Even if someone else invested in you and produced and distributed your work, so what?
With a single word from him, he could prevent your work from ever being released.
So the moment he saw the Tianyu Entertainment CEO arrive, even Director Yan felt somewhat panicked.
“Mr. Hua, why have you come?” Director Yan instantly acted like a grandson, showing extreme deference.
But the Tianyu Entertainment CEO paid no attention to Director Yan or the group. Instead, he greeted Luochen very respectfully.
“Mr. Luo, hello. I have come first.”
Then he simply stood to one side, not saying another word, and his attitude was very respectful.
At this point, Director Yan and the producer grew somewhat panicked, because judging from the Tianyu Entertainment CEO’s attitude, they had definitely provoked someone they should not have provoked today.
But the matter was not over yet. Before long, another group of people arrived.
The leader was a young woman!
There was a young woman in Hong Kong who was not part of the entertainment industry, yet equally attracted attention!
Because she was the granddaughter of the wealthiest family, Li Qi!
Because of this, Li Qi was notoriously arrogant and rude throughout Hong Kong!
But ever since the trip to Jiugong Mountain, Li Qi had become much more restrained, because there were still many people in this world whom they could not afford to provoke, or even dared not provoke.
Such as Luochen before her eyes.
“Mr. Luo, I did not expect you to have arrived already.” Li Qi did her utmost to maintain an extremely respectful posture, but it was evident that she was actually trembling, that she was afraid.
“There is a director over there. I want him fired.” Luochen pointed at Director Yan.
Director Yan’s face instantly turned ashen.
Finished, completely finished.
He had never expected that this young man before him truly possessed the ability to fire him, had even brought his financial backer here, and had even brought the hidden majority shareholder behind the financial backer.
Tianyu Entertainment was one of the Li family’s industries in Hong Kong!
“Ah Hua!” Li Qi looked at Director Yan.
“Understood, Miss!” Ah Hua responded.
“You do not need to come to the set anymore. That film has nothing to do with you.” Mr. Hua looked at Director Yan and the producer.
“Also, I will inform the investors’ circle on my end. Let’s see who dares to offer you a film in the future?” The moment Mr. Hua’s words landed, Director Yan nearly collapsed to the ground.
Everyone looked at Luochen in shock.
Director Yan was finished. This time he was completely finished.
The producer was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale. They knew that their careers had completely ended.
This was a blacklisting!
Xu Shuiyao looked at Luochen in astonishment. She was even more shocked now.
Not only was she shocked by Luochen’s power, but also by Luochen’s background and identity.
The young lady of Hong Kong’s wealthiest family, how proud and disdainful of others she was.
But at this moment she stood with her head lowered before Luochen, not daring to show even the slightest hint of disrespect.
At this point, everyone was stunned.
But偏偏 someone still stepped forward.
The female lead of this film!
Her name was Xuanxuan, and she was currently at the height of her popularity, possessing considerable fame and strength throughout Hong Kong.
“If Director Yan does not film it, then I will not act in it either.” Xuanxuan directly issued a threat.
“This film is a major investment, but the focus lies in crafting the plot and special effects. Unless you are willing to invest even more money to recruit a film and television queen to join!”
“Otherwise, there is no one more suitable for this role than me!” Xuanxuan let out a cold snort.
Director Yan had shown her kindness when she was unknown, and privately their relationship was ambiguous. At this moment, she naturally had to step forward!
Indeed, this film focused primarily on special effects and plot. The demands on the actors placed greater emphasis on ability and fame.
However, the current film and television queens were all too expensive.
If she were replaced and they sought out a film and television queen, the costs might need to increase significantly.
Moreover, she had already inquired. The few remaining film and television queens all had full schedules, and filming was about to begin.
A director might still be found temporarily, but replacing the female lead might not be so easy.
“The film’s early promotion has already been set with me as the lead. If I do not participate, it might very well cause this film to lose money directly!” Xuanxuan carried a hint of arrogance.
“Can you really not find someone better than me?” Luochen asked with a light smile.
“You cannot find one. Unless you are willing to spend dozens of times more than the original budget to temporarily seek out someone better than me. Otherwise, you cannot find one!” “Are you certain you cannot find one?” Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
