After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World-Chapter 92 - Changing Roles
Chapter 92: Changing Roles
“Grandpa, please take care of your health. I’ll go back to see you when I have time.”
Lu Mian leaned against the SUV and looked at Jiang Zhi’s face. She looked particularly serious as she was discussing something with Director Zheng. A smile appeared in his eyes.
Old Master Lu was silent for a long time. He tapped his cane lightly and threatened in a deep voice, “The filming of ‘Beacon’, right?”
“I do have a few old friends in the entertainment industry. I haven’t talked to them about old times for a long time. I’ll have to chat with them about the various problems and hurdles that prevent so many movies from being released…”
Lu Mian understood what he meant and said helplessly, “Grandpa, when did you learn how to threaten me? I’ll be back tonight.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Mian booked a flight ticket and hid from the staff’s gaze. He hugged Jiang Zhi in his arms and rested his chin on her hair. He said reluctantly, “I have some things to take care of. I might have to leave for a few days.”
Jiang Zhi looked up and stared into his blue eyes. She felt a little strange, but she did not ask further.
Lu Mian’s voice was flirtatious and seductive. He pressed his hand on her waist and leaned close to himself. “You have to think of me every moment, understand?”
Jiang Zhi was a little shy. She pushed him and replied quickly, “Yes.”
…
The official Weibo photos of the crew of “Beacon” did not lose traction. The directors and investors of several variety shows saw their potential for attracting money and used their own connections to inquire about the company that Lu Mian and Jiang Zhi belonged to, thus the number of daily calls to Star Glory was endless…
However, Jiang Lu’s fans realized that something was wrong. They found the promotional photos and pictures of the cast and crew when they had started filming, and posted long articles to question the cast and crew.
“The role of the second female lead of “Beacon” has been designated as Ms. Jiang Lu since the beginning of the publicity!
“The fans fully support the relevant marketing and publicity of the cast and crew, but why did the official site post a final photo of other actors playing the role of the Princess?
“The production team openly changed roles after the actors had already been filmed. They need to give the fans a reasonable explanation!”
Jiang Lu brushed away the gloomy mood and signaled her assistant to spread the news of Jiang Zhi replacing her to a few of her head fans. The exaggerated hint that Jiang Lu had been bullied and isolated in the production team made the fans furious, and she attacked Jiang Zhi with vicious words.
“A temporary replacement of an actress? Jiang Zhi must have gotten together with the director on the set! Do you still remember what Sister Lu said about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry?
“Maybe Sister Lu is indirectly telling us about the ugly things that Jiang Zhi has done!
“That’s right! Jiang Zhi has always been targeting Sister Lu. Her private life is particularly chaotic. Not long ago, there had been a divorce scandal. It seems to be because she kept a gigolo! 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
“She’s too shameless. We have to boycott Jiang Zhi! We have to chase the bad actors out of the entertainment industry!”
The fans behind the keyboards and computers were hiding in the dark. They were slandering and speculating about Jiang Zhi with the most vicious words, causing the ignorant masses to boycott her as well. Star Glory was also implicated, and their work in progress was once again hindered.
Yu Wan bit her lip. Seeing that Jiang Zhi had been wronged, she stepped forward to defend her and reveal the situation of the production team. However, the netizens had overrun her presence on the internet and were cursing viciously.
Jiang Lu saw that public opinion was growing, so she pretended to be wronged and pitifully accepted the interview on the media platform. Her eyes turned red.
“The director is not to blame for this…”
After the interview ended, she secretly joined forces with a few actors who were dissatisfied with Jiang Zhi and Director Zheng on the set of “Beacon” to expose the fact that the crew was in arrears with their pay!
Yin Yue was very happy when she saw that a few entertainment marketing accounts were paying attention to the progress of this matter.
She also concealed her identity and used her identity as a member of the production team to slander Jiang Zhi and Director Zheng for colluding and harming the production team staff…
The reputation of the production team of “Beacon” was victimized, while Jiang Lu’s fans berated them for being stalkers, deducting their pay and unspoken rules, and listing out the “three crimes.”.
Her friends in the industry called Director Zheng and asked him about the truth.
At first, Director Zheng wanted to save some face for Jiang Lu, but when he saw her deliberately misdirecting the reporters and the media during the interview, he could not take it anymore. He personally went on stage and published a long, logical, concise, and sincere article.
“I hope Ms. Jiang Lu would not continue spinning facts concerning ‘Beacon’…
“The production team spared no expense and spent nearly half a month to reshoot the role of the second female lead. It was all because of Ms. Jiang Lu’s disrespect for the role and her lack of responsibility, so they used an excuse to stop filming…
“This kind of unprofessional behavior has already caused a great loss to the production team. After several failed attempts at persuasion, we had no choice but to find other actors to replace her at the last minute!
“On behalf of the production team, I would like to thank Jiang Zhi for her timely help.”
