Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: This Top Star Has Real Achievements

So he cleared his throat and took the initiative to stop the conversation: "Uncle Wang, actually, this matter... is also partly my fault."

Maybe it's because I wanted to act well in this movie so much that I kept thinking about it during filming..."

He paused for a moment, unable to find a suitable adjective to describe his methods.

But Uncle Wang, being so shrewd, immediately retorted, "You've overshadowed her, haven't you?"

"...Yeah, that's right, I pressed it a few times." Li Xiang wanted to make one last attempt because he still felt he was a good kid.

"The male lead in the script was originally just a supporting character, so I wanted to have more screen time and try to get some memorable moments, so that the audience would remember me as the male lead..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of loud laughs came from the other end of the phone, which even turned into a cough at the end.

After a while, Uncle Wang finally caught his breath, but his tone was full of understanding: "I knew you weren't the type to stay put!"

When I answered Yimou's call just now, I was wondering why. Turns out, you weren't the one who suffered a loss at all. So you had your own plans from the very beginning!

"I didn't, I'm not, please don't make things up," Li Xiang quickly protested.

"I just want to act well, so as not to embarrass our Beijing Film Academy or bring shame to you."

After all, everyone in the crew knew that I got in through connections, so if I didn't perform well, people would definitely gossip about me.

So you're targeting the female lead, constantly suppressing her scenes?

"I didn't have time to think about her at the time. Besides, she was the female lead personally chosen by Director Zhang. I thought she was so amazing, so naturally I had to give it my all."

"Oh, so you don't remember she was just a child now?"

After this conversation, Uncle Wang was finally able to relax completely.

After all, from beginning to end, this kid not only didn't suffer any losses, but also gained a huge advantage in the end.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to comfort him about. He gave Li Xiang a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

Li Xiang had just finished packing his luggage and packed some changes of clothes, so he didn't linger and left the hotel directly.

With only a two-day holiday, it's definitely too late to go home.

But visiting the Three Gorges Dam and other water conservancy wonders, and then taking a stroll around the Three Travelers' Cave, is more than enough.

Let's leave aside his schedule for now.

As for the film crew, the atmosphere became increasingly strange after he left.

After all, it's Zhang Yimou's production team. Even if it's an art film, the scale and manpower will never be compromised.

With more people, their thoughts naturally become more complex and diverse.

Even though the entire core team revolved around Director Zhang and worked together wholeheartedly, there were inevitably some people from New Pictures mixed in with the crew.

Therefore, the news of Li Xiang's departure reached the ears of Little Yellow Duck and her mother immediately, and even Zhang Weiping, who was far away in Beijing, received the news.

It was only at this moment that the little yellow duck belatedly panicked and finally realized the enormity of the mess it had made.

Regardless of why Li Xiang left the production team, the blame will most likely fall on her, the little yellow duck.

After all, these events happened one after the other, making it all the more likely to lead to speculation.

Such a simple truth is something even a high school student can understand, so how could the mother of the little yellow duck not understand it?

Because she knew perfectly well what was going on, her face turned extremely ugly. She even pinched Little Yellow Duck's arm twice before lowering her voice and cursing:

"You brainless idiot! Are you satisfied now? If the film crew has to stop production because of your mess, let's see what kind of end you get!"

She got angrier and angrier as she cursed, and she didn't loosen her grip on your arm at all: "I've always told you not to hang out with those shady blond guys, but you just wouldn't listen!"

Now he's become incredibly wild, and his mouth is full of profanities. Tell me, where did he learn this lousy habit from?

"And the role of Jingqiu, do you really think Director Zhang chose you just because of your face?"

"Judging from your behavior today, tell me, where is even a trace of Jingqiu?"

"What's wrong with me praising Li Xiang? In what way is he not better than you? Since joining the crew, his acting has been going smoothly. Even if his scenes are overshadowed by yours, it's because you're incompetent!"

The director hasn't said anything, yet you're already complaining. What's owed to you, what's owed to you? Why should they give in to you?

"You spend all your time arguing with people instead of focusing on the right things, and they don't even respect you. But you get all worked up first!"

Now the whole crew knows you're a delinquent. Let's see how you stay on set from now on!

Although she scolded him fiercely, the little yellow duck's mother was actually very anxious inside.

Especially since Li Xiang, the "victim," also left the crew shortly afterward, no one knows what the crew's current situation is.

If things aren't handled properly, and Li Xiang refuses to perform, it would truly be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Unfortunately, the mother and daughter had always looked down on the male lead who had gotten in through connections, and had never even considered exchanging contact information.

Now, even if she wanted to apologize on behalf of her daughter, she didn't know where to begin.

After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to call Zhang Weiping first.

After all, this was the only one in the entire crew who could still speak up, and even if it would greatly diminish his impression of his daughter, he couldn't care less at the moment.

Otherwise, if the character is gone, then everything will be gone...

She pinched the little yellow duck's arm twice more, pushed him into the inner room, then took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and dialed Zhang Weiping's number.

The call connected, and before she could finish speaking, Zhang Weiping interrupted, his tone angry: "Such a big thing happened on set, and you still need to report it to me?"

"Can't you teach your child properly? This is only her first film, and she dares to act wildly on set. Does she even know what humility is?"

Just because you can't outperform others doesn't mean you can't humbly learn? Besides, don't you have me as your boss? If she has any difficulties, can't she just ask?

She insisted on bottling it all up, and finally exploded like a firecracker... Who did she think she was embarrassing? Besides making herself a laughingstock, what good did it do?

"Let me make this clear to you: if this gets out, not only will you lose your role, but your daughter's reputation in the industry will be completely ruined!"

Want to stay in this industry? Don't even think about it! Otherwise, tell me, which production crew would want to keep someone who's so easily provoked and ungrateful?

Faced with Zhang Weiping's barrage of accusations, the little yellow duck's mother could only nod repeatedly, muttering in response:

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely teach her a lesson. But what do you think about this matter..."

After venting his frustrations, Zhang Weiping's tone softened slightly: "Director Zhang gave Li Xiang a break, saying he wanted him to go out and relax."

I'm heading to the film set right away. You keep a close eye on her. If anything goes wrong again, no one can save her this time!

"Also, Yi is not a person without a temper. He must be upset about what happened today."

Let the little yellow duck behave itself on set, talk less and do more, and get the filming done smoothly before worrying about anything else!

In the end, Zhang Weiping muttered with a hint of resentment:

"Why do you two, mother and daughter, have to compete with the male lead instead of appreciating the female lead who's perfectly good to you? I really don't know what you're after!"

After saying that, she slammed down the phone, leaving the little yellow duck's mother clutching the ringing phone, her lips trembling slightly.

After living most of my life, being scolded like that would make anyone unhappy.

But since their daughter is signed with another company and it's their own child who made a mistake, they have to rely on the boss to clean up this mess.
