Was it deliberate or accidental?
A few minutes later, Xu Yi, holding his phone and live-streaming, arrived at the rest area for the big-name Actor under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers.
"No way, is Director Xu really planning to confront the Actor?"
The group of child Actor followed behind Xu Yi, their faces filled with shock.
It's no wonder they were making a fuss; in this small film crew, even a once-famous Actor who's past his prime is not someone you can easily offend.
Even if Boss Xu has a funding shortfall, shouldn't he at least set aside a special area for the big-name Actor to rest?
Apart from Director Xu Yi, none of the crew members, including the assistant Director, had their own private rooms and had to squeeze into shared rooms.
In other words, any one of these big-name Actor could easily be considered equal to Xu Yi in status.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door.
"Didn't I say I was in a bad mood today? We can talk about any problems tomorrow. It won't kill the Director to wait a day!"
A violent voice rang out, followed by the door being pushed open, revealing an unusually ferocious face.
"You're Liao Zisheng?"
Xu Yi looked at Liao Zisheng calmly.
In his forties, with a slightly overweight and sagging figure, one can still vaguely see the charm of his younger days. However, more than a decade has passed, and he is still relying on that past popularity, still indulging in the delusion of being a big-name Actor. Clearly, he is all bark and no bite.
Who I am is none of your business. What are you anyway?
Liao Zisheng cursed and raised his hand.
"I'm the Director."
Liao Zisheng was slightly taken aback, lowered his hand that was about to strike, and snorted coldly.
"What? One small one ran away, and now a big one has arrived? You're here to stick your neck out for someone else?"
Liao Zisheng said sarcastically.
Snap!
A large hand slapped him hard across the face.
"You're quite the smooth talker! I'm here to stand up for you!"
Xu Yi said with a chuckle, leaving a bright red handprint on his face.
You dare hit me?
The man screamed and was about to attack when he noticed a video camera placed outside the door; the staff were actually filming.
"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to film? Turn off your equipment!"
Liao Zisheng screamed, extremely sensitive.
"We only listen to the Director. We can't stop until the Director says 'cut'!"
The junior employee shrugged, looking helpless.
Director?
Is this kid really Director?
"So what if you're the Director? I'm warning you, I'm the pillar your investors hired. If you dare hit me, you'll regret it!"
Liao Zisheng turned to look at Xu Yi and roared.
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand swung out again.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
After three slaps, Liao Zisheng fell to the ground in front of the door, his hair scattered all over the floor, revealing a bald forehead.
"No wonder you have such a bad temper, turns out you've lost all your hair?"
Xu Yi laughed, picked up the wig, walked in front of the camera, and deliberately adjusted the angle to give Liao Zisheng's forehead a close-up.
"What a pity! That once incredibly popular idol is now a balding middle-aged man. It's really a shame!"
"The Operations Team will edit the video, post it online, and then contact a few of his old fans to interview them about their current feelings!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.
Ruthless!
That was a really ruthless move!
Xu Yi's actions were tantamount to digging up a grave and then desecrating its corpse!
Although Liao Zisheng is past his prime, he still retains some influence. Relying on his former fervent fans and nostalgia, he can still make a living.
If Xu Yi were to display his bald, disheveled appearance in front of everyone, wouldn't his fans instantly erupt in anger?
This isn't revenge; it's clearly sabotaging Liao Zisheng's livelihood!
"You can't do that! I have image rights. You can't do that without my permission!"
Liao Zisheng was slapped unconscious several times. He had just come to his senses when he heard Xu Yi's words. He was so frightened that he forgot about Xu Yi hitting him and went straight to snatch the machine.
But just then, two shadows loomed over him, like two stone pillars, instantly trapping him between them.
"Image rights, right?"
"I need your permission, right?"
The burly man from Dongshan Big Man rubbed his hands together, looking at Liao Zisheng with a sinister grin.
Oh my god!
How come there are two bears in a small film crew?
How can a person grow so tall?
Liao Zisheng looked at the two men's arms, which were thicker than his own thighs, and fell silent instantly.
Family!
Circumstances dictate that one's image rights are more powerful than one's own; one may have the right to one's image, but it seems one can also choose not to have it!
"Liao Zisheng, let me ask you one more question: do you still need portrait rights?"
Xu Yi said.
"No, I don't want your image rights anymore. I'll fully cooperate with your performance!"
Faced with mortal danger and the loss of his image, Liao Zisheng finally regained his composure and revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.
[Negative emotions +500]
Um?
Still dare to complain?
Xu Yi glared at Liao Zisheng with displeasure. This kid is up to no good; looks like he wants to go to military training!
"Then let's continue filming!"
Xu Yi said calmly.
The staff and child Actor blinked, looking at Xu Yi with puzzled expressions.
Is that all?
They were just talking about revenge, about making Liao Zisheng pay the price, and all they did was make a ridiculous edit, and that's considered revenge?
This seems like a lot of noise but little action, doesn't it?
Little did they know, the Livestream Room had already turned into a chaotic mess.
"Don't sleep tonight, the big one is coming!"
"Another big one? I haven't slept for three days and three nights!"
"I came out of my mother's womb just to wait for this day, and I've finally grown up!"
"It's not the thief's cries that's scary, it's the thief's eyeing that's worrisome! Offending Xu Yi is bad enough, but the real trouble is yet to come!"
Xu Yi is petty!
Who!
Who said the Abbot was petty?
Xu Yi glanced casually at the Livestream Room and shrewdly spotted the last comment. In a flash, he instantly muted and banned all the chatter. After finishing, he clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction.
To dare call the Abbot petty is incredibly audacious!
How could the Abbot be petty? The Abbot is clearly someone who hates evil!
The first scene we filmed for the Actors Please Take Your Place was a scene of eating a big meal.
The dishes were specially brought back by Xu Yi from outside, and they were delicious in appearance, aroma, and taste.
Liao Zisheng reluctantly sat on the sofa, about to eat, but his expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the table.
"I'm a vegetarian, this is all meat, how can I eat meat? Please give me another one!"
There are no vegetarian options.
"Then I won't eat it. I can't go against my dietary restrictions!"
Liao Zisheng snorted coldly, a smug look on his face.
If you're not ready, don't blame me for not eating.
"Bang!"
Two plates of weeds were placed on the table.
"Eat up! They're freshly picked, all naturally grown, still fragrant with dew and earth!"
The two Dongshan Big Man grinned, making Liao Zisheng break out in a cold sweat.
Vegetarian!
Absolutely vegetarian, absolutely all-natural. Not only is it natural, but it hasn't even used any fertilizer!
But why is there mud on this grass, and what looks like caterpillars on it?
Looking at the delicious-looking meat, and then at the dirty grass, Liao Zisheng silently pushed the grass aside and chose to eat the meat.
Who said this meat is bad? This meat is absolutely fantastic!
"Hmm, this meat is actually quite delicious?"
Liao Zisheng was amazed. Just then, a voice rang in his ears.
"It turns out that Professor Liao Zisheng likes to eat pork intestines. Go to the restaurant and order two more servings of Nine-Turn Large Intestine, and tell them to add extra ingredients, because Professor Liao likes Nine-Turn Large Intestine!"
