"Large intestines, these are pig large intestines?"

On set, Liao Zisheng's heart-wrenching screams echoed.

Nine-Turn Large Intestine: Brightly colored and with an enticing aroma.

Because of Liao Zisheng's delay, everyone had missed lunch and was starving while watching Liao Zisheng eat, which had already whetted their appetites.

Liao Zisheng was actually hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have made an exception and eaten meat.

Even if you're extremely hungry, there has to be a limit, right?

"I'm a vegetarian, you want me to eat pig intestines?"

With a snap, Liao Zisheng jumped two meters away and began to vomit, clutching his throat.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Nausea!

That's disgusting!

He's already filthy!

His mouth is filthy! His soul is corrupted!

Waaaaah!

This production crew is absolutely bullying us!

Liao Zisheng looked at everyone, but paused for a moment.

Everyone present watched coldly, and no one spoke up for him.

The entire crew, including the Actor, stood aside and watched coldly.

I feel isolated. Am I really that unpopular?

"Teacher Liao, wipe your mouth."

Just then, a staff member came up and handed him a tissue.

Liao Zisheng instantly became narcissistic.

My interpersonal relationships weren't actually that bad; it was all the production crew's fault.

"Thank you. You were bullied by the Director of this film crew too, weren't you? We've really had it tough!"

Liao Zisheng looked at the young Actor gratefully, wiping his mouth as he sighed and wanted to pat the young Actor on the shoulder.

The production team is inhumane; they've driven the young Actor to the point of being afraid to speak out. It's utterly inhumane.

As a senior colleague, he had to support them!

Swish!

Liao Zisheng's hand missed its target, and the young Actor, as if electrocuted, instantly took two or three steps back, staring at Liao Zisheng speechlessly.

"Teacher Liao, what are you saying? Even if someone bullied me, it was you who bullied me! I'm the stage manager; you've made such a mess of the place, I'm the one who has to clean it up!"

"Teacher Liao, so many of us are waiting for you. Can't you have a sense of time? Do you really think you're some big shot?"

"This isn't twenty years ago. Look at the few hairs left on your head. Do you still think you're some kind of popular celebrity who can do whatever you want?"

The stagehand was full of resentment and left no room for compromise.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

On set, it seemed as if the sounds of repeated slaps in the face echoed.

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

"Heartbreaking! This guy is absolutely heartbreaking! Look at Liao Zisheng's face, it's almost turned liver-colored!"

"This is absolutely hilarious! Did you guys see Liao Zisheng's expression? Does he think he's the one who's wronged?"

"He left the entire crew waiting for ages, even assaulted the Director's assistant, and now he's made a complete mess of the set, and he's acting all aggrieved?"

"Six hundred and sixty-six? Does this old codger still think he's a young heartthrob?"

In Xu Yi's Livestream Room, the viewers almost laughed themselves silly.

They had never seen such a narcissistic and oblivious has-been Actor.

Liao Zisheng stood there, stunned. A gentle breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair on his head swayed bravely in the wind.

He felt the hostile gazes of everyone present, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Not good!

His arrogant behavior went too far and provoked public outrage!

"Everyone, I'm sorry. I admit I didn't consider your feelings. I apologize to everyone."

Liao Zisheng hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, giving a perfunctory bow, but immediately turned his attention back to Xu Yi.

"You surnamed Xu, you're clearly using this as a personal vendetta, deliberately trying to disgust me with pig intestines! If you hadn't been deliberately making things difficult for me, why would I have delayed everyone?"

Liao Zisheng looked at Xu Yi with resentment.

Xu Yi looked at Liao Zisheng indifferently.

"Teacher Liao, isn't pig intestines meat? Besides, you said it was delicious!"

Xu Yi sat in the Director's chair, his hands shrugged, his expression utterly innocent.

"We have video evidence to prove it. You said it yourself, so surely I'm not forcing you?"

As Xu Yi spoke, he instructed someone to switch the view to the screen.

The outdoor screen flickered slightly, displaying the same scene from before.

Liao Zisheng sat at the long table, his expression exaggerated and varied, looking completely intoxicated. The Nine-Turn Large Intestine on his plate looked as high-class as a red wine steak.

"When I said it tasted good, I meant it was meat... Ugh... Does large intestine count as meat? Large intestine is for holding feces... Ugh..."

Liao Zisheng had just recovered when he suddenly saw the scene again, and he felt nauseous. He vomited and howled, wishing he could vomit up all his stomach acid.

"Teacher Liao, please don't throw up yet. Since you've already eaten, let's just finish filming in one go. Everyone will just wait for you to finish and call it a day."

Before Liao Zisheng could catch his breath, the stagehand rushed up again, his face filled with resentment that almost turned into obsession.

He had just finished wiping when Liao Zisheng vomited again. Was it intentional?

Liao Zisheng was so angry that he almost cried after being complained about by the stage manager.

You tricked me into eating pig intestines, and instead of apologizing and comforting me, you actually wanted me to eat more?

He's just past his prime, he's not dead yet!

Besides, even the dead fight over a stick of incense, let alone a living person like him, who is bound to have some temper!

Snap!

The Nine-Turn Large Intestine were smashed to pieces. Liao Zisheng slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Xu Yi.

"You think you can just feed me pig intestines and still expect to keep filming? You're dreaming!"

"I'm a star, after all. I can't take this anymore. I'm going to file a complaint with the Actors Association and get you blacklisted so you can never act again!"

After saying that, Liao Zisheng turned and left, leaving the crowd speechless.

Everyone worked themselves to the bone all day, and all that effort is just wasted like this?

"Boss, shall I go upstairs and talk to him? I'll try to persuade him to come back?"

Xu Yu said with deep concern.

Although she also wanted to teach Liao Zisheng a lesson, the filming schedule could not be delayed. If Liao Zisheng affected the entire crew, Xu Yi would be the one ultimately affected.

"No need, he'll come back on his own."

Xu Yi said.

Will you come back on your own initiative?

Liao Zisheng was almost driven mad with anger just now, how could he possibly come back on his own initiative?

Xu Yu looked at Xu Yi with suspicion, thinking that Xu Yi was unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

If Xu Yi were a famous Director who had already gained market recognition, he wouldn't need to care about things escalating, much less worry about protests from the Actors Association.

However, Xu Yi is still a newcomer without any works. If Liao Zisheng takes the matter to the Actors Association, it will definitely cause trouble for Xu Yi.

"Boss..."

Go and call your assistant.

Xu Yi said calmly.

The world is vast, but the Director is the greatest.

Xu Yu at Xu Yi's expression, Xu Yu knew that Xu Yi hadn't taken his words to heart.

The On-Site Assistant was in the nearby rest area. Upon hearing Xu Yi's call, he immediately came over.

"Mr. Xu, the filming period is very short. Even if we want to teach Liao Zisheng a lesson, we still need to get through this period first. Why don't you make an effort to apologize first?"
