Chapter 469: Using Brother Ye San’s Money To Slap People In The Face

Feng Bo was the one who worked on the contract with Guang Yuan. Although most of the movies directed by Feng Bo were not profitable, he had a good reputation in the industry.

Besides, Red Sun had gotten a lot of awards at home and abroad, so many people were looking towards the adaptation.

Guang Yuan’s team had helped him get the audition opportunity. Feng Bo had turned down a few famous actors as well and picked Guang Yuan in the end.

Little did Feng Bo expect that when Guang Yuan bumped into Ye San at the setting yesterday, he was so furious that he went away from the setting in anger.

Initially, Feng Bo thought Guang Yuan would not quit. After all, everyone knew about the audition, and if he really quit, it would leave a high impact on his reputation.

“He wants to quit? That’s fine with me. After all, I think he’s overpaid as well,” Fu Zhi replied after she took a sip from the cup of milk, “You now go and find another actor who’s more qualified than him.”

“Are you sure about that? Just because he said something bad about Ye Shiyun?” Feng Bo asked.

“Well, honestly, I don’t deny Guang Yuan’s claim, but at the moment I don’t have a solution to Ye Shiyun’s acting problem, so the optimal solution right now is to get rid of the person who raised the problem,” Fu Zhi said matter-of-factly, stunning Feng Bo.

He felt he had underestimated the ability of a rich high school girl. He also felt he was too naive.

He should not have had any expectations on Fu Zhi. There was no way she would lower herself to beg Guang Yuan.

“To join our movie, the actor has to be very tough. Besides, we’re short of time. It’s difficult to find a hardworking actor, not to mention that most of the well-known actors are pretty busy right now. They might not be able to join our movie,” Feng Bo said, “Also, Guang Yuan posted something on Weibo today. Although he didn’t mention it explicitly, everyone knows that he’s talking about Ye Shiyun. Many of his fans know that he’s going to take part in Red Sun and they all feel Ye Shiyun doesn’t deserve to play a role in the movie. If Guang Yuan doesn’t show up at the launching event, the probability of Ye Shiyun getting attacked on the internet is 100%.”

Fu Zhi fell silent as anger and frustration began to set in.

After a short while, she said, her voice cold and indifferent, “Help me to make an appointment with Guang Yuan. Ask him to come and meet me at the coffee shop this afternoon.”

Feng Bo nodded profusely, “Okay! Leave it to me!”

Then, Fu Zhi hung up the call.

Xiao Bai, who was sitting in front of Fu Zhi, heard her conversation with Feng Bo and he was angry about what Feng Bo had said.

‘So what with a poker face, huh? He’s nobody to you, so why do you have to care if he has a poker face or not?’

That said, as an elite agent, he would not allow himself to lose his temper in front of the public. He pulled out his phone and took a look at Guang Yuan’s Weibo.

He was not that angry at all if he did not look at it, but he nearly lost his cool when he saw the post that Guang Yuan had posted on his Weibo.

[I can’t stand it anymore, so although I know many people will disagree with me, I still have to say it out loud. It occurs to me that many people cannot differentiate between impassiveness and resting b*tch face. You’re one of the highest paid actors in our country, yet you refuse to make any expression because you’re afraid that you would look ugly. Then, by that logic, should we all kill ourselves right now since we are afraid of death?]

Xiao Bai then looked at the comment section.

[What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?]

[I thought you’re going to take part in the making of Red Sun? Did something happen?]

[Impassiveness? Resting b*tch face? What? Are you talking about Ye Shiyun? I’m not a fan of both, but I smell something fishy!]

[Are you sure about that, mister? Your entire Weibo is filled with Ye Shiyun’s stuff and you said you’re not his fans? Ye Shiyun is the worst actor I’ve ever seen and I just don’t think he’s worthy of his pay at all. Someone finally has the gut to step forward and criticize him today, and I’m so happy about it!]

[Is Ye Shiyun really going to play a role in Red Sun too? What the hell is Sister Zhi thinking? Does she want her first movie to fail?]

…

It was without a doubt that Ye Shiyun had a lot of fans, but for a big-budget film like Red Sun, the contribution of his fans is very minimal.

Feng Bo had told Fu Zhi about the consequences of choosing Ye Shiyun. After all, there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry who wanted to pull Ye Shiyun down from his throne.

Xiao Bai shook his head disappointingly after he read Guang Yuan’s Weibo. “Before Guang Yuan became an actor, he’s a singer. He’s known for writing raps with a sarcastic tone and according to what I’ve heard, he has a bad temper. However, he doesn’t do well as a singer, so he becomes an actor instead. Anyway, I might need some time to communicate with his team to delete the post on Weibo.”

Of course, things would be different if Guang Yuan’s idol, “Addiction”, stepped forward and said something. However, “Addiction” had gone off the grid for many years, so Xiao Bai did not see the need to tell Fu Zhi about her.

Feng Bo sent Fu Zhi a message and told her that Guang Yuan would be coming to the coffee shop later.

Fu Zhi remembered that Guang Yuan came from a humble family and he needed a lot of money.

“But,” Xiao Bai continued, “Do you know the Mu Corporation? Before Guang Yuan published the post on his Weibo today, they privately promised that they would tailor-make a big movie with Guang Yuan as the central figure. They also invited Ye Shiyun, but I didn’t let him go.”

Fu Zhi knew how terrible the financial status of the Mu Corporation was right now. The more money they invested, the greater the chance for their movie to be dead in the water.

However, since Guang Yuan decided to cooperate with them, this could only mean one thing—The Mu Corporation had overcome their financial crisis.

Fu Zhi checked on the internet and she found out that it was the Wu Family that saved the Mu Corporation from the fire pit.

Fu Zhi squinted her eyes as a glint crossed her eyes. Just when she was about to say something, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open and Mu Chenxi appeared with two men with black masks.

There was a wide grin on Mu Chenxi’s face right now and she looked like she was in a good mood. When she saw Xiao Bai and Fu Zhi, she approached them like a peacock with open feathers and said, “I’m so sorry, I was there with Guang Yuan when Feng Bo texted him. Initially, he cannot come to see you since I have to finalize the contract with Guang Yuan this afternoon, but I thought we’re schoolmates and since you’re so sincere to meet him, I figured that maybe I should bring him to this coffee shop to finalize the contract as well as to see you.”

The only reason Mu Chenxi brought Guang Yuan here was to humiliate Fu Zhi. Fu Zhi had to admit that Mu Chenxi was pretty effective. The Mu Corporation had only received the fund from the Wu Family this morning, and she had already made contact with Guang Yuan.

Fu Zhi looked at Mu Chenxi coldly and raised her brows, “So… That means you guys haven’t signed the contract yet?”

“We’re going to sign it now. Oh, since you’re here, perhaps you can be our witness. I’m sure you won’t say no, right?” Mu Chenxi continued to mock Fu Zhi, “But honestly, I still don’t understand why you want to hire Ye Shiyun. Acting in a movie is not an easy feat and Ye Shiyun just isn’t cut out for the job. Look at those negative comments about him on the internet. With him in the leading role, I’m sure that your movie will fail.”

Xiao Bai scoffed inwardly. Mu Chenxi was someone who would kick down the ladder if you’re no longer useful to her. He remembered that she came to Star Maker several days ago and begged Ye Shiyun to cooperate with her in a movie.

Mu Chenxi did not know the thought in Xiao Bai’s mind. Just when she was about to pat Fu Zhi’s shoulder, a fair-looking hand appeared and grabbed her wrist.

“You want me to be your witness? Sure, let’s do it,” Fu Zhi said. However, she did not look at Mu Chenxi. Instead, she had been looking at Guang Yuan. The man was wearing a mask. She could not see his facial features well, but his eyes were sharp and bright. He also had smooth jawlines and his skin was fair.

Mu Chenxi chuckled. Then, she pulled out a document and handed it to the 2 people behind her.

“Don’t worry about the quality of the drama. It’s an adaptation of a good-selling novel, and the author will join us during the making of the drama as well. I’m sure you guys have seen the remuneration package that we offer, right? It’s higher than the remuneration package offered by Red Sun, and most importantly, you don’t have to work with Ye Shiyun…”

Guang Yuan’s agent had seen the contract before. The reason Mu Chenxi repeated it again was that she wanted to insult Fu Zhi.

It went without saying that Fu Zhi knew what she was doing. She expressionlessly pulled a card out of her pocket and said, “Whatever remuneration package she offers you, I will give you double.”

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Guang Yuan’s agent chuckled and said, “Miss, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but acting is a noble profession and as the best-selling author, I’m sure that you know money can’t buy you everything. As long as you don’t kick Ye Shiyun out of the team, Guang Yuan will not go back!”

“Triple.”

“This is a matter of principle.”

“Four times.”

“We’re not acting for money, we’re acting for art!”

“Five times.”

“… Five? Five times? No, I mean we have to honor our promise, so we, we can’t…”

“Six times.”

“Deal!”

Mu Chenxi and Xiao Bai were stunned.

Everything was happening so fast that they still could not come around to their senses. Mu Chenxi turned her head and looked at Guang Yuan’s agent in disbelief.

The agent asked Fu Zhi, “You’re not joking, right?”

“Yeah.”

The agent was stunned. This was the first time Guang Yuan landed on such a high-paying movie. “You really, really, really, are not joking, right? Will you go back on your word? After all, it’s not a small amount of money…”

“That means you don’t want it?”

The agent was stumped.

‘Of course, I want it!’

He pushed Guang Yuan, who was tugging at him, aside and made a bow. “I’m sorry, Ms. Mu.”

Then, he said, “Well, money is not the main issue, but since Master Pure Feather is so sincere, we will look hypocritical if we keep turning her down. Besides, we agreed to join Master Pure Feather’s movie first, so it’s not suitable for us to take your offer now…”

Xiao Bai was still unable to regain himself from the change of situation.

‘So this is how movie directors fight for the actor? The one who offers the better remuneration package will get the actor they want?’

Xiao Bao texted Ye Shiyun, [You’re at the setting now right? You’re not here right now, so you don’t know how much your sister has sacrificed for you.]

[I know. She just asked for 100 million yuan from me.]

Xiao Bai was speechless.

‘Well, like brother, like sister.’

At the same time, Guang Yuan’s agent forced Guang Yuan to sign Fu Zhi’s revised contract on the grounds that his mother needed to undergo multiple surgeries.

Gritting her teeth tightly, Mu Chenxi shouted, “How can you do something like this, Fu Zhi? How can you be so shameless?”

“I’m shameless? A fine fowl perches only on a fine tree, and a virtuous minister serves only a virtuous master. In this case, I have more money than you, so I’m better than you. If you don’t like it, just turn around and leave. The exit is just over there.”
