Chapter 766: Showdown
Yun Xiangxiang recalled that many people had taken special care of her during filming. Even though she had repeatedly stated that there was no need for this, everyone treated her like a porcelain doll. Yun Xiangxiang felt helpless, but she did not argue anymore.
Song Mian could not follow her to the set either. He could only wait for her at home and take care of her three meals a day.
Yun Xiangxiang did not know if it was because there were no more action scenes, or because of Song Mian’s meticulous care. She had stayed up more than usual, but Yun Xiangxiang did not look as Haggard as before.
As December was about to end, he wei brought Yun Xiangxiang Bad News.
“Milai is negotiating with ‘rescue operation’.”
The film ‘Rescue Operation’had not been agreed to, mainly because he wei was very firm on the terms. ‘rescue operation’did not compromise, because according to He Wei, Yun Xiangxiang would not bear any financial losses for the film’s box office earnings.
As both sides were in a tug of war, there were still a few months before the start of filming, and neither side had any intention of relenting.
Yun Xiangxiang had originally had the advantage, but now that Mi Lai had come back and interfered, the advantage suddenly became Mu Qin and the others.
“Did director Mu Tell You?”Yun Xiangxiang asked.
“That’s not it. It would be demeaning for him to act personally. Naturally, there are thousands of ways to let me know.”He Wei shook his head with a smile.
Although businessmen pursued profits and everyone was doing it for their own interests, Mu Qin was not some random cat or dog that could be waved around at will. The film that Mi Lai had been talking about was turned down because of a Hollywood blockbuster.
This was a slap in Mu Qin’s face. Mu Qin also had some backbone. How could Mi Lai come back as she wished?
In this film industry, she was not the only person with box office appeal.
However, the film crew and Yun Xiangxiang were in a stalemate. Mi Lai was willing to lower herself and pay the price for her past recklessness. Mu Qin and the others might accept her if she gave up the generous conditions to join the film crew.
In the same industry, everyone would see each other whenever they saw each other. This time, Mi Lai had gone a little overboard, but it was not unforgivable.
In the end, she did not sign the contract. Mi Lai had the right to choose. Moreover, giving up a domestic film for Hollywood was something that many actors would choose.
“Brother Wei, what do you mean?”Yun Xiangxiang asked He Wei for his opinion.
“I have understood the intention of the film investors. They are more biased towards Milai.”This was the reality. Milai’s international influence was greater than Yun Xiangxiang’s, “Mu Qin, the producer, and Lu Jin will definitely choose you. This way, the two of you are evenly matched.”
Mu Qin did not lack investors, so he was not afraid that the investors would withdraw their investment. Lu Jin himself had connections, and many people pointed to Lu Jin to make money.
Huan Yu Century Entertainment was not a vegetarian. Even if Huan Yu century entertainment invested in Yun Xiangxiang again, no matter how unconvinced the people in the company were, they could not refute the profits brought by “Jiu Se.”.
“So, brother Wei means to not give in even an inch.”Yun Xiangxiang understood he Wei’s plan.
“Yes.”He Wei nodded. “I can see that you like this film very much.”
If he did not see Yun Xiangxiang’s heartfelt love, he wei would not have come to discuss with Yun Xiangxiang.
He would have dealt with it himself, but in the end, he might have lost the opportunity.
“Then I won’t let you.”Yun Xiangxiang naturally supported he wei. “I do like it, but whether it is now or in the future, there will be many things I like. I am alone, and sometimes I have no time to spare. There will come a time when I have to learn to give up.”
So Be it. who could live without any regrets?
“Then I’ll answer them.”He Wei was very happy.
Yun Xiangxiang nodded and paused before asking, “Xu Zi’s side…”
More than half of Xu Zi’s confinement period had passed, and everything had been peaceful. Yun Xiangxiang became even more worried.
“I guess she has already noticed something.”He Wei sighed lightly. “Your senior brother’s acting is not bad. If he was willing, he would definitely be able to trick Xu Zi out of her confinement before revealing his cards. However, he isn’t willing to lie, and it wasn’t easy for him to calm down.”
In order to stabilize Xue Yu, he Wei had spent a lot of effort. This time, it had hurt him a lot.
“It’s about time…”even though Xu Zi might still be injured if she revealed her cards now, it still wouldn’t kill her.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want this matter to drag on for too long. She wanted to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.
“I also plan to step in and have a good talk with her. I also want to know what her choice will be.”He Wei stood up. “This is between your senior brother and me. Don’t worry, just focus on the filming. I’ll go take care of things first.”
Yun Xiangxiang watched he wei leave and suddenly felt a little upset. She felt that this matter was a little tricky and would not be as easy to solve as they had expected.
Yun Xiangxiang’s guess was very accurate. The next day, when she was filming, Xu Zi ran to the production team to look for her.
When she saw Xu Zi, Yun Xiangxiang tried her best to make herself expressionless.
“Xiangxiang, where is your senior brother? Can you let him see me? I have something to say to him.”Xu Zi pounced on Yun Xiangxiang and grabbed her arm.
Yun Xiangxiang’s arm had not fully recovered and she could not break free. There were people coming and going and the entire crew was looking at them. Yun Xiangxiang suppressed her temper and said coldly, “Let go of me first. Let’s talk somewhere else.”
“I just want to see him. Please, let me see him.”Xu Zi was unwilling to let go.
Yun Xiangxiang used her other hand to grab her wrist and said in a low voice, “If you want to make a big deal out of this, who do you think will be the one to lose face in the end?”
Xu Zi was in pain, but she held it in and did not cry out. At this time, Song Qian, who had already returned, stepped forward and said, “You haven’t given birth yet. Let me help you.”
Yun Xiangxiang walked in front while song Qian carried Xu Zi and followed behind. Coco cleverly tried to mediate the situation.
Yun Xiangxiang had a separate dressing room. When she entered, Xu Zi was pushed in by Song Qian. Song Qian stood guard at the door.
“You… you also know, right?”Xu Zi looked at Yun Xiangxiang, whose back was facing her.
“So what if I know?”Yun Xiangxiang looked at Xu Zi behind her in the mirror. “Or do you think it’s Not Enough? Do you want the whole world to know?”
Xu Zi’s face was even paler, and her eyes were bloodshot. She did not dare to look at Yun Xiangxiang, but she did not plan to leave just like that. “Let me see him one last time. I beg you.”
“Why?”Yun Xiangxiang asked her. “Now that things have come to this, it’s useless to say anything, isn’t it? You betrayed him.”
“I didn’t!”Xu Zi retorted hysterically to Yun Xiangxiang. As she spoke, her tears fell. “I just want to see him.”
Yun Xiangxiang remained unmoved.
Xu Zi begged for a long time before wiping her tears. “I don’t want to go to his company to stop him. Don’t force me. I have to see him. I don’t want to redeem anything. I just… I just don’t want to see him again. I’m not willing…”
