Chapter 367 Finding Fault
In a ward at the First Hospital of the Capital, Xiao Wushuang dialed a phone number with her good hand.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, didn't you say you wanted to cast me as the female lead in that drama? Is that still on your mind?" she asked with a hint of anticipation.
She's going crazy these days.
The internet was full of insults, which almost drove her to a mental breakdown. Xiao Yiyi forbade her from accessing the internet, which helped her a little.
But she couldn't help herself and refused to give up.
"Xiao Wushuang, you're completely ruined. You still want to act? The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has issued a ban. Who would dare to hire you? Just be an honest ordinary citizen and stop dreaming about becoming a star!" An impatient voice came from the phone.
Xiao Wushuang's expression stiffened.
“Mr. Xu, I can do without pay! The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television only bans domestic content; it can’t ban it internationally. We can film it and broadcast it on international public platforms…” She still tried to struggle.
"Even if you pay me, nobody will hire you! What value do you have now? Don't you have any self-awareness?" Mr. Xu's tone turned harsh.
"Don't call again, I'm busy and don't have time to talk to you."
Xiao Wushuang was so angry that her chest trembled.
Not long ago, this Mr. Xu was incredibly enthusiastic towards her, saying that he would agree to any request as long as she was willing to play the lead role.
Now that she's down on her luck, she's completely changed her tune.
"Mr. Xu, even if I can't film it, you'd better not use Tang You, otherwise the ratings will definitely flop!" she warned.
"Flop? You're overthinking it. I can't even get her to come to me now." Mr. Xu sneered.
Xiao Wushuang's expression hardened.
"You should pay more attention to the news." After saying that, Mr. Xu hung up the phone.
Puzzled, Xiao Wushuang opened the news channel.
She was shocked to find that her front-page headline had been pushed to the back, and the first few articles were all about Tang You.
"Tang You, a victim of the drugging scandal, has won the favor of director Feng Xiaogang, and a top-notch cast has been assembled. Filming for 'Chinese Paladin 4' is scheduled to begin soon!"
"After two years, Wu Yusheng is back with Chinese Paladin 4, and the female lead has been confirmed as newcomer Tang You!"
"A powerful alliance, a star-studded lineup—can the newcomers carry the torch for the four legendary sword and sword games?"
"Newcomer Tang You debuts with the support of a top-tier IP, and many superstars playing supporting roles—truly a chosen one!"
……
Xiao Wushuang's eyes were bloodshot, and her whole body was trembling.
What makes that blond-haired girl so favored?
Even at the height of her fame, Xiao Wushuang couldn't earn a second glance from Director Feng.
She was extremely envious of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 IP, and approached Wu Yusheng privately countless times, only to be rejected each time.
why?
Why would they be willing to lower their standards for Tang You?
Tang You is a million miles behind Xiao Wushuang! Why isn't she, Xiao Wushuang, the chosen one?
Overwhelmed by rage, Xiao Wushuang, grieving the loss of her finger and suffering a series of blows, finally succumbed to her anger and fainted.
……
Tang You hasn't been home for several days.
After communicating with Director Feng, the agent, Sister Hong, decided to take advantage of her summer vacation to finish filming the movie as soon as possible.
In the past few days, the production crew has been traveling to various places to promote the new drama.
Today marks the official start of filming for Chinese Paladin 4 at the Imperial Capital Film City.
Lin Youyou left work early and drove with Xiao Chen to the film studio.
I thought the film set would be bustling with activity...
As soon as Xiao Chen and Lin Youyou entered the set of Chinese Paladin 4, they heard a fierce shouting and cursing.
"Why? Why was a complete newcomer parachuted in as the lead actress, while I became a supporting character with only a few lines? I refuse to accept this!" a woman's voice shrilly shouted.
"Tang You, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to be the female lead? Who is your sugar daddy? How did you get such power to be parachuted here?" The voice was extremely unpleasant, and the speaker was cursing and swearing at the woman by name.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's face immediately darkened, and he quickly pulled Lin Youyou forward.
On the set of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, a group of people surrounded Tang You and a woman, who was pointing at Tang You and yelling at her.
Tang You didn't dare say a word, enduring her scolding like a doormat.
The people around him had a completely spectator's mentality, some even gloating.
"Tang You, take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. Do you even deserve to play the lead role? Everyone here is more qualified than you. Even a minor supporting role is far more experienced than you!" The woman pointed her finger at Tang You's nose, aggressive and arrogant.
"I feel disgusted by your fake innocence! No work, no acting skills, I heard you were just an extra before. How many people did you sleep with to get this lead role? Why don't you tell everyone in front of everyone!"
Tang You's eyes darted around after being told this, feeling extremely wronged.
Today is the first day of filming. She originally wanted to get along well with everyone and treat them to milk tea, but this woman knocked her away and started cursing at her on the spot.
She had never seen anything like this before and didn't know how to react.
"The more I look at your face, the more I want to vomit! Who are you trying to fool with your innocent act!" The woman became increasingly aggressive. "If it weren't for you, you little bitch, how could I have been reduced to such a nobody?"
As she spoke, the woman directly struck Tang You.
Xiao Chen appeared just in time and grabbed her hand.
"Who are you? What's it to you? Get out of my way!" the woman shouted, glaring at her.
Xiao Chen's face turned cold, and with a forceful shove, he sent her sprawling to the ground.
The woman cried out in pain, looking extremely disheveled.
"Brother Xiao Chen..." Tang You called out softly.
"You bastard! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?" The woman got up from the ground, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, looking extremely ruthless.
"I don't need to know." Xiao Chen's face was filled with murderous intent. "All I know is that you're courting death!"
The woman's face contorted into a grimace.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" She revealed a contemptuous expression, sneering repeatedly, "I know, you're also Tang You's lover, right? How shameless, you'll sleep with any Tom, Dick, or Harry..."
The woman spoke with a mocking laugh, which made Xiao Chen reveal his murderous intent.
"boom!"
The woman was blasted away in an instant, landing heavily outside the crowd.
This startled everyone on the film crew.
"If you dare say another bad word about Tang You, I'll make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow!" Xiao Chen said coldly.
Everyone looked surprised.
"Who is this? He looks ruthless. Could Tang You have gotten to her position through this person?"
"He looks like he's involved in organized crime. How much skill could he possibly have at such a young age? He doesn't have that kind of ability. Tang You, the female lead, might really have slept her way into the role..."
The crew members were whispering among themselves.
The woman had blood at the corner of her mouth and her face was pale.
She was somewhat alarmed.
She never expected that someone in this film crew would dare to treat her so badly.
If they were any more ruthless, they might really take her life.
"You...you've got some nerve!" she stubbornly insisted.
"This isn't an ordinary film crew. You're committing violence here. Do you have a death wish?"
Xiao Chen's expression grew increasingly cold.
He swept his gaze across the crowd, his expression cold and indifferent.
"Get Feng Gang out here!" he roared.
