Su Ran slept upstairs tonight. The battle finally started and she was very excited. She and Ning Xi kept checking Weibo.
Wei Ye's doggerel really caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry. Although no one in the circle spoke out, everyone must have been paying attention to this matter. The funny thing is that Lin Ying's studio didn't say anything, but Lin Ying's fans came to scold Wei Ye, saying that he was bored and had nothing to do. Why did he expose other people's privacy? They said that Wei Ye violated other people's privacy and that such people should be dragged out to feed the dogs... blah blah!
Su Ran and Ning Xi laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. What does it mean that one fan can outweigh ten haters? This is a living example.
Ning Xi gloated: "What kind of person you are, what kind of fans you have. The so-called traffic is accumulated by these brainless fans. It's really a joke."
Su Ran said expectantly, "I want to see how they respond."
"Lin Ying has basically not encountered any public relations crisis in recent years. She is quite protective of her own image and never gets involved in any scandals with anyone. Therefore, her public relations team is good at hype and promotion, but they may lack experience in crisis public relations. However, Qiu Honghui is an old fox, and he will definitely test Mr. Wei's trump card first." Ning Xi analyzed.
As soon as I finished speaking, Yu Li called.
"Sister Ning Xi, my friend came to me to ask what kind of evidence my master has. I tried to get her to tell me something, and she admitted that it was Tian Rong who asked her to find out."
"What do you say?"
"Of course I was just trying to scare her. Just four words, solid evidence, hahahaha..."
"Well done." Ning Xi praised. Tian Rong should be really anxious now.
"Haha, let's see what they do next. I'll hang up first. Another call came in."
Lin Ying was very tired after the audition, but she didn't expect Director Jones to be so anxious and asked her to prepare for the audition as soon as she arrived. She had been on a flight for more than ten hours and hadn't adjusted to the jet lag. She still felt dizzy and didn't know whether Director Jones would be satisfied with the final result.
Never mind, let’s go back to the hotel and rest first.
Lin Ying was so tired that she didn't notice that Qiu Honghui hesitated to speak several times.
After taking a shower, Lin Ying fell asleep and decided to deal with everything after she woke up.
I don’t know how long it was before Qiu Honghui came knocking on the door.
Assistant Pan Yuanyuan went to open the door, and a moment later, Pan Yuanyuan came to the bedroom with a pale face.
"Sister Lin Ying, wake up."
"What are you doing? Can't I sleep anymore?" Lin Ying was so sleepy that she cursed angrily. Then she covered herself with the quilt and continued to sleep.
"Sister Lin Ying, Brother Honghui has something urgent to discuss with you." Pan Yuanyuan said cautiously.
"What's the emergency? Ask him to come back later."
"Director Jones said you can't act anymore." Pan Yuanyuan took two steps back before saying this.
Lin Ying was so sleepy that she was slow to react. After a while, she suddenly sat up and asked, "What did you say?"
Pan Yuanyuan said weakly: "You should ask Brother Honghui, he is still waiting outside."
Lin Ying's sleepiness was gone now and she got up quickly.
After getting dressed, he came to the living room: "Qiu Honghui, what's going on?"
Qiu Honghui said in embarrassment: "Director Jones' assistant informed me that the contract will not be signed. He said that Director Jones was very dissatisfied with your audition and it was too far from what he imagined."
Lin Ying was anxious: "I was too tired yesterday. I sat on the plane for more than ten hours and didn't even have time to catch my breath. I started the audition right away. It would be difficult for anyone to perform at the level they should have. Have you told them?"
"I said I hope they can give me another audition opportunity, but they disagreed. They also said that poor health and being too tired are not excuses. Actors in Xinghai Country are very dedicated."
"You're crazy, are you kidding me? You sent someone all the way here, and you just send me away like this?" Lin Ying was furious. The whole country knew that she was going to make a big movie, and now she was not allowed to act, wasn't this a slap in her face
Qiu Honghui said: "We can't solve this problem by ourselves. You'd better call Gu Yunchen and ask him to negotiate with Jones."
"Yes, I'm looking for Gu Yunchen. Where's my cell phone?" Lin Ying hurriedly looked for her cell phone.
Pan Yuanyuan quickly handed over the phone.
Gu Yunchen was waiting for Lin Ying's call, but Lin Ying didn't call, and his mother called instead.
"Yun Chen, what's going on over there? Didn't we agree on this? Why did you change your mind again?"
Gu Yunchen sneered. It seemed that Lin Ying knew that she had no say in front of him, so she asked her mother to intervene.
"Mom, it's not that they want to change their mind, it's that Lin Ying's performance is too bad. Director Jones has relaxed the requirements for my sake, but Lin Ying is still far from his requirements and can't be used." Gu Yunchen said this without any guilt.
Originally, I wanted to cooperate with them and let Lin Ying try out a role and then send her back, but director Jones really rejected her.
"I know Lin Ying didn't perform well. Lin Ying told me that she was too tired. She auditioned right after getting off the plane and was not in good shape. You can talk to Director Jones and ask her to try again."
"Mom, this is not a question of being tired or not. It's common to be tired during filming. They work day and night, and they can't take a few days off to film. Besides, the scenes that Director Jones gave her to audition were the simplest, and she didn't perform well. I was embarrassed because I was the one who recommended her. I said so many good things about her in front of Director Jones..."
"If you say so, there is no room for negotiation on this matter?"
"Mom, I really can't do it. I want to help her, but she's the heroine of my next play. I hope she can perform well and successfully star in Director Jones' big production, right? There's really no way. I was notified that they have replaced her."
"You... Can't you tell them that Lin Ying is a top-tier actress in China? It's just a small role. What does it matter if she performs better or worse? As long as Lin Ying is on the cast list, the domestic box office for their film will be guaranteed."
Gu Yunchen chuckled and said, "Mom, do you think I have the nerve to talk about my domestic status with others? That would not only be a loss of face for me, but also for the entire Yan Country film industry."
Zhu Huiyu was speechless.
In the Los Angeles hotel suite, Lin Ying and others were anxiously waiting for news.
Qiu Honghui saw Lin Ying was fidgeting, and he felt overwhelmed when he thought about the big crisis waiting for them in the country. Since Su Ran retired, Lin Ying had been doing well and had never encountered such a bad thing.
Forget it, let's wait until things here are resolved before telling Lin Ying about things back home. If things here can't be resolved, it will only make matters worse.
As soon as the cell phone rang, Lin Ying answered the call reflexively.
"Hello! Aunt Zhu..."
After a while, Lin Ying hung up the phone with a deathly pale face.
"What do you mean?" Qiu Honghui's heart was in his throat. Although he knew from Lin Ying's expression that it was not good news, he still held out some hope, hoping that things would not be so bad that they could not be reversed.
