Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the two clearly didn't understand much, but judging by Lin Xiao's tone, it was obviously not good news. They continued to sneer, "What? Listening to you, what can you do to Sister Shuang? You don't really think you can get Sister Shuang's leading female role, do you? What a pipe dream!"
Lin Xiao looked at Jiang Tao and the other man.
Without Lin Xiao having to speak, the two knew what to do. Jiang Tao shouted, "Director Chen!"
Director Chen, who was engrossed in filming and directing over there, was startled by Jiang Tao's shout. He almost fell out of his seat and immediately yelled "Cut!", then hurried over.
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?" Director Chen saw the expression on Jiang Tao's face and knew immediately that Jiang Tao was in a bad mood. He then glanced at Rao Yilong, whose expression was even more serious.
His heart sank, and he felt a sense of foreboding.
"Get this Zhen Shuang to leave immediately!" Jiang Tao commanded.
"Huh?"
Director Chen was stunned. What was going on? Sister Shuang was a top star hired at a great expense! And now she was being told to leave?
"Don't you understand?"
Jiang Tao's voice rose a notch.
The commotion attracted everyone in the crew who were lining up over there. They were all shocked to hear that Sister Shuang was to be dismissed. Who was Sister Shuang? She was an absolute big shot in the entertainment industry today!
Sister Shuang herself's face darkened. She crossed her arms and walked over aggressively.
"Mr. Jiang, but, the contract is there..."
Seeing Director Chen's hesitant look, Lin Xiao finally spoke, "Contract? What contract? Tell me, what contract allows an actor to be paid 200 million yuan? Do you think that's compliant and legal? I recall a salary cap order was issued long ago. This contract, has it been tampered with?"
"This..."
"Have her leave, and the contract can be directly voided."
Lin Xiao said directly.
"Who are you?"
Zhen Shuang walked over and stared at Lin Xiao. She had never seen this man before. He wasn't an investor in this film. How dare he talk so brazenly? Moreover, her contract matters were an unwritten rule. And this person was here to disrupt things?
"You don't need to know."
Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered with Sister Shuang. He continued to speak to Director Chen, "Relevant authorities are on their way. This Sister Shuang, no matter what, will not continue to be the lead actress of this film."
"Relevant authorities?"
Director Chen was startled. "This..."
It's over!
If this matter were truly investigated, not only Sister Shuang, but he himself and Jiang Tao would all be implicated. He quickly said, "Mr. Lin, this is a chain reaction... If it comes to that, Mr. Jiang will also be in a difficult situation..."
"Don't worry."
Lin Xiao naturally understood Director Chen's meaning. "This time, it's a case of shooting the bird that sticks out. Apart from Zhen Shuang, everyone else will not be implicated. The crew can start filming normally. It's just a matter of replacing the female lead."
"Really?"
Just a moment ago, he was contemplating how to persuade Lin Xiao not to act impulsively. Now, Director Chen frankly said, "Alright! Then Zhen Shuang is no longer the female lead of this drama. All previous contracts are voided!"
"Director Chen?!"
Zhen Shuang was stunned, clearly not expecting Director Chen to make such a decision.
She anxiously shouted, "You didn't say that before! If I get into trouble, you won't be able to escape either!"
"He can escape for now."
