A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

"He's even going to get a job in the ministry? It'll be good enough if he can hold onto this job like us old-timers! In my opinion, Chen Hai is so unmotivated and unenthusiastic; he'll be fired!"

Wang Shanwen nodded after hearing Li Xia's words.

"That's right! They definitely won't last long! They don't know how to respect us veterans, what future do they have?"

In Yang Mi's film and television city, Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Yang Mi arrived here early in the morning.

Although Yang Mi confided in Qi Tongwei last night, life must go on, and she can't just give up her work.

Yang Mi suddenly noticed that a film crew was currently shooting in an area she had been forbidden from entering.

Yang Mi frowned and walked over to the staff member.

"What's going on? Which group just went in like that? Didn't I say that this place is not open to the public or allowed to be filmed? Because this place is not officially completed yet, filming now will cause damage and affect the construction schedule."

After hearing Yang 603's words, the staff member's smile became awkward, and he said with some helplessness.

"Mr. Yang, of course we know filming isn't allowed here. But today, all the people here are big stars, and big directors too. Look, there are even two Hollywood superstars!"

As they spoke, the staff member pointed it out to Yang Mi and then continued.

"Boss Yang, you have to believe me, we really did try to stop them, but they just wouldn't listen! They grabbed their equipment and props and went straight in, they were really aggressive!"

For a moment, the staff member looked somewhat embarrassed.

“We originally wanted to ask security to ask them to leave, but when we saw that the group was full of stars, including several movie stars, we were hesitant. We were afraid of offending them and causing trouble.”

Yang Mi looked extremely upset after hearing the staff's explanation.

"Which group is this?"

The staff member answered immediately after hearing Yang Mi's question.

"Mr. Yang, they're from the Great Wall production crew!"

Upon hearing what the staff member said, Yang Mi's expression immediately turned sour.

Because Yang Mi knew very well that this "Great Wall" crew was the same crew that Jing Tian was in.

I was promised the female lead role in this film, and I was about to join the crew when I was suddenly notified that I had been replaced and Jing Tian had taken my place.

Chapter 403 Things Change When My Brother Arrives

Seeing the star-studded scene, Yang Mi instantly understood that this was another instance of capital using half of the entertainment industry to support Jing Tian.

Yang Mi didn't know why this was happening before, but now she understands very well that it's because of Jing Tian's special identity and background.

As the eldest daughter of the Jing family, she was the apple of her grandfather's and father's eye and enjoyed the best of everyone's love and affection.

Let alone these scenes, it wouldn't be surprising if the entire entertainment industry of Xia Kingdom were called up to support her.

Although Yang Mi knew he couldn't afford to offend her, he let it go even though she had taken away his role.

But what does it mean that she's bringing such a large group of people to film in her unfinished area?

Just as Yang Mi was feeling very unhappy, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I wondered who it was? Turns out it's that female lead who got taken off the show and has no role anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi frowned and turned around to see that it was Jing Tian.

I don't know what she was doing, but she just came back and appeared behind me with a disdainful expression.

Yang Mi had a bad temper, and upon hearing Jing Tian's shout, he immediately became angry.

But she remembered what Qi Tongwei, Zhong Xiaoai, and Zheng Mengyan had said at home last night.

She knew that Jing Tian was someone she couldn't afford to offend, and that only Qi Tongwei could possibly resolve this matter.

There's no point in getting angry with Jing Tian.

"Jing Tian, ​​it's been a long time!"

As Yang Mi spoke, he tried his best to maintain a polite, slight smile.

Jing Tian originally thought Yang Mi would get angry, as rumors in the industry say she has a bad temper.

Now I can't believe that even though I just embarrassed her, she's still being so polite to me.

In an instant, Jing Tian's face revealed all his emotions, including contempt and arrogance.

"Yang Mi, you're not part of our crew anymore, what are you doing here? Visiting the set?"

As he spoke, Jing Tian glanced at the filming location and continued in a sarcastic tone.

"These are all Hong Kong film stars, including Andy Lau, oh, and Chow Yun-fat. Oh, and there's also an international film star, but I don't remember you working with any of them. Do they even know you? You're just here visiting the set? You're not trying to get to know them and maybe climb the ladder, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi exclaimed, "What are you saying?!"

At this point, Yang Mi was truly furious; normally, he might have already taken action himself.

However, Yang Mi knew that he couldn't afford to offend Jing Tian, ​​but that wasn't the main issue.

Most importantly, today is an important day for Qi Tongwei's appointment, and Jing Tian's brother has also come to Handong.

Qi Tongwei had just had a falling out with Zheng Jindong because of Sister Xiao Ai, and even uprooted the Zheng family, which was deeply rooted in Xia Kingdom.

If he and Jing Tian were to fall out now, it would definitely cause trouble for Qi Tongwei.

If Qi Tongwei launches attacks on the seven major families of Xia Kingdom one after another in a short period of time, without a doubt, Qi Tongwei will become the common enemy of the entire seven major families.

Because everyone is afraid of becoming the next person targeted by Qi Tongwei, and no major family wants to fall like this.

If the seven major families unite, or even just one or two of them join forces, Elder Zhong probably won't be able to strongly defend his own.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi knew that she could only tolerate Jing Tian for the time being, not only for herself, but also for Qi Tongwei.

"I'm not here to visit the set; I'm here to check out the location. After all, I'm the owner of this film studio."

Yang Mi spoke calmly because she had done her best to remain calm.

Jing Tian laughed after hearing Yang Mi's words.

"Oh right, you're the owner of this film studio, how could I forget?"

At this point, Jing Tian glanced at the crew members filming nearby and continued.

"I heard that this area is off-limits for filming. Did you, Boss Yang, say that?"

As Jing Tian spoke, he looked at Yang Mi with a surprised expression.

Yang Mi smiled somewhat awkwardly, because she didn't know what Jing Tian was trying to express.

I was originally prepared to just swallow my anger and not bother with her.

But now that Jing Tian has brought it up himself, Yang Mi thinks it might as well just say so.

"Yes, this area is still under construction, and there are many more projects to be carried out, so it may not be convenient to film here."

Upon hearing Yang Mi's words, Jing Tian suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"How could it be inconvenient? It's very convenient! I told the crew that we wanted to find new locations that no one has ever filmed before, so that the resulting film would have a fresh feel!"

Jing Tian laughed happily as he spoke.

"Haha, don't you think so, Da Mimi?"

Yang Mi's face turned extremely pale after hearing Jing Tian's words.

She initially thought the crew of "Great Wall" needed to use this filming location, but after all that, she never expected it to be Jing Tian's doing.

Yang Mi is now completely confused about what's going on and what he did to offend her.

Jing Tian found it ridiculous to see Yang Mi seemingly dissatisfied with him, yet helpless in the face of his predicament.

Last year, both I and Yang Mi were nominated for the Golden Bird Award for Best Actress, but unexpectedly, Yang Mi won the award instead of me.

From that time on, Jing Tian harbored a great deal of resentment towards Yang Mi.

Later, after making some inquiries, he discovered that Yang Mi had an unexpected backer: Qi Tongwei, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee of Handong Province.

What kind of family background does Jing Tian have? Who is his backer? It's the Jing family, which influences the entire cultural industry of Xia Kingdom.

Now that I've been outdone by a mere Yang Mi, I must teach Yang Mi a lesson.

She wanted to make sure that Yang Mi and Qi Tongwei (who was behind her, Wang Hao) knew who carried more weight in the Xia Kingdom.

Don't be blind to reality and don't know your own limitations; otherwise, you'll just make people laugh.

Yang Mi's face was very pale at this moment, but he was still maintaining the last shred of rationality.

"Since you've already taken the photos, then go ahead and take them."

That's actually true. It's no use trying to get rid of them now. No matter what Jing Tian's motives are, the filming has already started, so there's no point in saying anything more. Let them film it.

After saying this, Yang Mi didn't intend to say anything more to Jing Tian and turned to leave.

Who knew that just when Yang Mi thought he had been wronged and decided to just bear with it,

Jing Tian suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone behind Yang Mi.

“Go back and tell your backer that Handong Province doesn’t belong to Qi Tongwei. With my brother here, the landscape of Handong Province will naturally change!” Li said.

Chapter 404 Qi Tongwei is the most capable person in our Handong

It was one thing for Jing Tian to keep attacking him, but now he had even brought up Qi Tongwei in front of him, which made Yang Mi extremely unhappy.

What do you mean by telling yourself that Qi Tongwei is your backer and that the landscape of Handong is about to change? What are you saying? Who are you trying to tell this to?

Yang Mi turned his head, looked at Jing Tian who had a smug look on his face, and smiled.

“We’ll be doing construction work in this area this afternoon. If you continue filming until noon, I’ll have security clear the area. If you don’t leave by then, then I’ll follow the contract we signed. You’re the ones who violated the cinema’s rules first, so please leave and don’t film anymore!”

After saying this, Yang Mi left without looking back.

Jing Tian stood there, his expression, which had been quite smug, suddenly fell flat.

What does this mean? Yang Mi was very polite when he didn't mention his brother, but as soon as he did, she immediately turned hostile? Does she not know the true strength of the Jing family?

You want me to film for half a day and then leave? Are you giving me an ultimatum? I'm not leaving! I'll film for a week, and I want to see what you can do to me!

Thinking of this, Jing Tian turned around and shouted at the director.

"Director Zhang! I love this scene! Give me more scenes in 603! I want to film here for at least a week! I'll leave whenever I feel better!"

As he spoke, Jing Tian glanced back at Yang Mi's departing figure, thinking to himself, "You little brat, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
