Chapter 440: Argument
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After all, the Beijing Film and Television Academy was a top art academy. Hence, the lecture hall often held all kinds of performances. Hence, not only could the lecture hall accommodate more than 3,000 viewers, but there were also many backstage lounges.
Today, only the production team of “The Splendor of the Republic of China” was doing promotional activities here, so the lounge area was very spacious. They could let their main cast members have one room each.
He Meng had just walked over from Director Fu’s lounge and happened to take a look at the name tag on the door. She guessed that the organizers did not mean to cause trouble and had really arranged the lounges from left to right.
The lounge assigned to Yu Han was in the same tier as Su Lan’s. However, because Yu Han’s lounge was facing the staircase, the designer must have specially extended the lounge by more than half a meter in order to have a balanced layout.
Su Lan’s team was sensitive enough to notice this difference. They felt that they were inferior to Yu Han, so they wanted to change the lounge.
The entertainment industry was a place where competition was especially fierce.
Fans could cause a commotion outside because their idol’s name was slightly offset on the poster, or their names were slightly behind when it was an official announcement. The competition between celebrities was not inferior either.
They had to fight for resources, positions, center positions, publicity resources, and being the finale. They had to fight for the lounge and the seven-seater MPV. They even had to fight for the standard of their business meals and various treatments.
Hence, it was not uncommon for people like Su Lan to feel that they were being suppressed by others because their lounge was a little smaller. In fact, even if they caused more trouble, the actors and actresses from the same production team would not submit to each other. In the end, they asked the team members of both sides to take a ruler to measure the size of the lounge. It was not even an inch larger than their own lounge. They had to make a fuss and get the organizers to change to a lounge of the same size.
In He Meng’s opinion, although Yu Han was indeed more popular than Su Lan as a newcomer, it did not matter if they gave up the lounge to her since Su Lan was a senior and she minded it.
However, the door to the lounge next door was clearly open. She could already see Su Lan’s staff working inside, so the people in the room should be able to hear the commotion in the corridor.
They wanted to change the lounge but Su Lan herself did not appear, nor did her manager. Wasn’t it too disrespectful to send a small assistant out to tell them about this?
After being in the industry for so many years, He Meng knew one thing very well. Sometimes, they still had to fight. If the other party looked down on them, there was no need for them to give in.
Hence, she rejected her directly. “I’m sorry, our Hanhan happened to catch a cold today. I was originally worried that the air conditioner in the lounge would be too cold, so I planned to turn it down when 1 go in later. Now that I hear you say that there’s sunlight in this lounge, that’s great. It can save us from worrying.”
When Li Wen heard He Meng’s words, she finally realized that she had made a mistake. Su Lan wanted to change the lounge not because the temperature was too low, nor was it because she did not know how to adjust the central air conditioner. She just wanted to cause trouble.
Previously, she had only heard from her seniors that there were many open and hidden struggles in the entertainment industry. This was the first time she had seen such a scene with her own eyes today. She was a little excited and a little afraid, afraid that the two sides would fight and implicate volunteers like her.
Hence, she immediately shut her mouth and went to the side to watch the commotion. At the same time, she secretly took out her cell phone and sent a message to Teacher Xiao, who was in charge of this event, to tell him about this.
The girl did not expect Yu Han to not even give them face when she brought up Su Lan, her senior. However, she was just a small assistant and did not dare to lose her temper at the domineering He Meng. Hence, the atmosphere froze.
Perhaps the people in the lounge next door could not wait any longer, so Su Lan’s manager finally decided to show his face. However, his voice came from the lounge before he arrived.
“Why is Fang Yuan dilly-dallying? It’s just a change of lounge. If she can’t even handle such a small matter, what’s the use of having her?”
The girl in the corridor, whom Fang Yuan the manager was talking about, immediately turned pale when she heard that. She bit her lip and took a step back anxiously.
Hearing the deliberately loud words, Yu Han and He Meng looked at each other and smiled silently. There was a tacit understanding in their eyes..
