In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 10 I Can't Take It Anymore
As Qin Xuan watched her lively figure disappear from the hotel, his thoughts drifted, as if he were witnessing Liu Yifei's past.

After thinking for a while, he went into the hotel and booked a standard room with two beds.

He couldn't possibly live alone, so of course he had to bring his uncle over to live with him so they could share the good times. He wouldn't let anyone who was good to him and followed him suffer.

"Where did you get the money to book a hotel room?" Wu Guoqiang looked at the room's clean white walls, bright and airy lighting, and the clean and tidy white bed.

It's cool and comfortable, and the air conditioner is blowing out cold air.

This made him suspicious; his nephew had just come from the countryside and couldn't possibly have that much money to stay in a hotel.

Besides, their wages aren't much. Although his wages as a skilled worker are higher, he still has to support his family. Ordinary people earn tens or hundreds of dollars a day, which is simply not enough to afford housing.

"I got my technology fee back from them." Qin Xuan didn't want to say that it was given to him by someone else, so he made up an excuse.

"Really, how can you have the nerve to ask for money? You should leave a good impression on the director and have them mentor you." Wu Guoqiang had old-fashioned ideas and was rather aloof.

Of course, his intentions were good, and it's hard to refute that.

"Whether I get paid or not, that's the impression they give. They've seen it all in this industry, and so many people fawn over them. Look who they've been favoring." Qin Xuan knew these people very well.

You say one thing to people, but who remembers you when you turn your back?

“You’re different. They have high hopes for you. You can’t spend this money recklessly. You have to save it for when you get married in the future,” Wu Guoqiang advised.

"It's already booked, the room's been booked, there's no going back." Qin Xuan didn't argue, just let it go.

"Sigh," Wu Guoqiang sighed, extremely worried, wondering what to do about his extravagant spending.

Qin Xuan didn't say anything. That's how the older generation is. They'll endure hardship if they don't want to. It's hard to change that kind of thinking. After taking a shower, he lay down on the soft bed and went to sleep.

Wu Guoqiang could only passively accept it. As Qin Xuan said, "It's already open, what else can we do?"
The next morning, the film crew, which was supposed to start work as scheduled, did not start. Various equipment and props were left lying around without anyone moving or placing them.

No one has released or recorded the actors' costumes, announcements, or other information.

The entire production crew was paralyzed, with many frontline staff and interns going on strike.
He hadn't expected there to be so many people; it seems there are quite a few who are being oppressed.

If these people don't work, then those who aren't involved will also find it difficult to work. Since no one is working, if you do work, you'll seem a bit unconventional. So most people will be swept along and adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

Just like Wu Guoqiang, who wasn't involved, seeing this situation, he didn't know what to do.

"Oppose exploitation, eliminate the traitor Matthew from within!"

"Oppose exploitation, eliminate the traitor Matthew from within!"

The slogan was shouted so loudly on set that it carried far and wide, reaching neighboring film crews and the entire Hengdian world, where people were discussing what was happening on the set of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Hearing that it was for the purpose of fighting exploitation, those grassroots staff members couldn't help but feel excited.

"Finally, someone has stepped forward!"

"Damn it, I spent two days on that film set before, and they're treating me differently."

"Other film crews are all the same."

This phenomenon isn't limited to just one film crew; it's prevalent in many film crews, which is why it resonates with the general public.

It's just that other production teams don't have someone as charismatic as Qin Xuan.

Some people even wanted to go to see "The Forbidden Kingdom" to see if they could succeed, but they were stopped because the film crew was filming in a closed environment and reporters were not allowed in.

Because the commotion was so huge, it involved Minkoff, Hendrik Willem Van Loon, Li Lianjie, and others, as well as Wang Zhongjun, the head of Huayi Brothers, who was the producer.

Even Relativity Media's producer here, Ferrer, was alerted and had to rush to the set to check on the situation.

“Shit, this was definitely premeditated,” Matthew exclaimed angrily.

The leaders were gathered together, discussing countermeasures, when Minkov said, "At a time like this, let's not talk about useless things."

"Anyone who causes trouble will be eliminated." Ferre was determined to take ruthless measures.

“If you clear everything out, who will film the movie?” Wang Zhongjun retorted, as this would have a very negative impact on Huayi.

The Americans finished filming and left without caring about anything else, while Huayi is, after all, a local company.

“You have a lot of people, right? If they won’t do it, there are plenty of others who will,” Ferre said.

“This is not appropriate. Newcomers cannot quickly get into work mode; they need to readjust,” Hendrik Willem Van Loon thought.

The entire circle will be shaken. He and Li Lianjie have a share, so they are very concerned.

"It's just money, just give me the money." Ferre waved his hand, appearing very generous.

"This is no longer about money or people; it's a serious incident."

Many of them are from academic backgrounds. If I were to take action against them all, how would I explain it to the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and to my superiors? Wang Zhongjun found it very troublesome.

If the authorities intervene, Huayi will definitely be criticized, causing widespread public outrage. What are you doing?
"What can we do? We can't just let them make a scene like this!" Ferre had no intention of sacrificing his own men as a sacrifice.

Actually, everyone knows the truth about this; it's not Matthew's fault, they just don't say it.

"Brother Fang, I'm just asking you one more time. Could you please go and talk to them and calm things down?" Wang Zhongjun still requested Fang Long's help.

He was the one who handled it before.

"Okay then," Hendrik Willem Van Loon nodded.

They are reluctant to come forward, they don't share a common language, but he has influence and persuasiveness.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon arrived at a plaza with a grand hall in an ancient building and was somewhat overwhelmed by the dense crowd.

Meanwhile, those in charge were secretly observing the situation from a distance.

"Get up, all of you, get up. Let's talk this out. There's no need for this." As soon as he arrived, Fang Long displayed his exceptionally high emotional intelligence, personally bending down to help the leading group of people.

“Brother Fang Long, we call you brother out of respect, but you don’t need to try to persuade us. We’ve had enough, we can’t take it anymore.” Shen Ao and the others sat cross-legged on the ground, resolutely refusing to move.

“I understand your difficulties, but what you’re doing is wrong,” Hendrik Willem Van Loon said earnestly.

“What do you understand? We’re all doing the same work, but you Hong Kong people have your own hotels, the food is provided by the hotels, and you even get fruits and desserts. Your wages are higher than ours. In what way are you the same as us?” Zhang Linke had a rather explosive temper.

Yes, that's right!

"."

Many people present echoed this sentiment, saying that every time they came to persuade them, they never kept their promises.

Henrik Willem Van Loon looked up at the crowd and explained, “Hong Kong people are far from home, and to ensure their work performance, they definitely need better rest. They are also not used to mainland food, so they need special care.”

Shen Ao and others immediately scoffed.

"So they're human, but we're not?" someone shouted, expressing their disgust.
