Chapter 2761: Twins
Editor: Henyee Translations
The filming of Stalker was about to begin.
The production team had already made the preparations. As soon as Xu Wangzhi joined the cast, all the work went smoothly.
Naturally, the news that Xu Wangzhi had joined the cast spread.
The outside world was very surprised.
[Didn’t they say that his face was injured and he couldn’t take this job anymore?]
[That’s right. What’s going on? He has only rested for a few days, but he’s already working again. Could it be that his injury back then was a gimmick?]
[Isn’t he disregarding everyone’s reaction back then? Is he playing with everyone?]
However, when everyone saw Xu Wangzhi’s photo, they stopped talking.
He had already lost a lot of weight for his role. Now, he was extremely thin. He looked like he weighed less than 50 kilograms, and his clothes were saggy.
The scar on his face was clearly visible in front of the cameras and under the set lighting. It was a shocking sight.
One could imagine that he was indeed seriously injured at that time. It was also commendable for him to insist on working now.
The fans’ hearts ached, but once they thought about how he had a friend like Qiao Weiyang by his side, they were confident in his future. They knew that his wound could definitely be treated.
Chengyu was already overseas.
He was very unhappy about losing these five years and did not want to agree to the condition at all. However, his father’s attitude was very domineering. He even said that if Chengyu was disobedient, he would not be given any resources in the future and would not receive any money from his card.
Chengyu had no choice but to reluctantly follow his father’s arrangements.
However, although he was overseas, he paid a lot of attention to the matters in the domestic circle.
When he heard that Xu Wangzhi was filming as usual and did not delay the overall plan of Stalker at all, he was filled with regret for being deceived.
He immediately called his father.
“Dad, Xu Wangzhi hasn’t stopped working. I want to go back and continue working too.”
“I’ve already seen the news.” Director Cheng’s voice was also a little unhappy. “But if I go back on my word now, where will I put my face?”
“Are we going to let them lie to us like this?”
“Stay here obediently and avoid the limelight for now. We’ll talk about you coming back later.”
With his father’s support, Chengyu knew what was going on. Xu Wangzhi wanted him to leave the industry for five years? Dream on!
The filming of Stalker progressed smoothly.
Everything else went on as usual.
However, Stalker, which had already obtained a filming license, was suddenly stuck.
The higher-ups had said that they could film whatever they wanted, but whether it would be released or not was still a big problem.
Lu Mingjue tried his best to mediate in this matter, but there was only one sentence from the higher-ups. Whether they could pass the trial in the end was uncertain for the time being.
Qiao Weiyang sat in the office with a pen in her hand, her expression dark.
“I’ve already asked around. Sister-in-law, the person responsible for approving the screening is Chengyu’s godfather and Director Cheng’s childhood friend. It seems that Director Cheng is deliberately making things difficult for us.”
Director Cheng’s power in the industry was intertwined, and he was basically unaffected by others. Hence, even if he encountered Su Group, he dared to fight them head-on.
This time, Chengyu had gone around complaining. Director Cheng tacitly agreed that it would be a piece of cake for him to cause trouble for Qiao Weiyang.
“We’re already filming the movie. If it can’t see the light of day, we might as well not film it.” Qiao Weiyang put down her pen. “At most, I’ll apply again.”
“I think the other party is completely stubborn. No matter what we say, they won’t relent.”
“Okay, I’ll go look for them myself.”
Qiao Weiyang wasn’t reconciled to this.
She walked out and bumped into Xu Wangzhi.
“Weiyang, I heard that our movie is stuck?”
“Yes, but you can just focus on filming. Since I’m the screenwriter and investor this time, I’ll naturally be in charge of these things.”
“Why don’t I look for my…”
“Wangzhi.” Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Weiyang interrupted him. “Your father has never agreed with your current profession to begin with. Why use such a thing to worsen his impression of your profession? We naturally don’t need to trouble him with what we can solve.”
Seeing that he still seemed to want to give it a try, Qiao Weiyang reminded him, “At least wait for me to try, okay?”
Xu Wangzhi temporarily dismissed the idea in his heart.
Qiao Weiyang parked her car at the entrance of the Film Industry Association. Before she got out, she saw Su Zhuoqian’s familiar car.
She got out of the car and saw Su Zhuoqian also getting out of the car and walking toward her.
“Why are you here?” Qiao Weiyang looked surprised.
“Lu Mingjue called me. You’re going to reason with them, so I naturally have to come over.” Su Zhuoqian’s words were gentle, but he gave her a sense that he would be there to hand her the knife as long as she said that she wanted to attack.
Qiao Weiyang pursed her lips and smiled. “They probably won’t do anything to me yet.”
“Since we’re here to reason with them, I found a friend and invited people to watch.”
Qiao Weiyang knew what he meant. It seemed that there was someone behind Chengyu’s godfather who could control him.
In the building of the Film Industry Association, the person in charge of the production distribution rights was Director Liu Fudong.
Usually, he would not interfere in ordinary movies. His subordinates would review and deal with them according to the process.
However, it was different for Stalker.
This matter had blown up so much that it even kicked Chengyu out of the country. It was equivalent to cutting off his future in the entertainment industry. Naturally, Liu Fudong had heard of it.
He naturally took over and waved his hand amidst Chengyu’s cries. He did not even understand the details of the movie before dismissing it.
If Qiao Weiyang liked to film movies, then they would let her do it. Anyway, she could only stay at home and admire her work herself.
“Director Liu, Qiao Weiyang is here.” The assistant came over to ask for advice.
“Tell them I’m not here.”
“Su Zhuoqian also came over.” The assistant was indeed a little uncertain.
Liu Fudong also hesitated for a moment. The entire Film Industry Association had its own path of development and was not affected by the outside world, especially Su Zhuoqian and the others.
However, the name Su Zhuoqian still carried a big impact. Even if he did not want to be friends with him, he did not want to be his enemy.
In the huge conference room…
When Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang appeared together, everyone who saw them could not help but pay attention to them.
The two of them were so outstanding that people had no choice but to focus on them and follow their footsteps.
Liu Fudong stood up and greeted them with a smile, “President Su, Miss Qiao, I’m sorry for not welcoming you earlier.”
“Director Liu.” Su Zhuoqian’s and Qiao Weiyang’s voices were calm.
Qiao Weiyang sat down and went straight to the point. “I believe you know why I’m here, Director Liu. I won’t beat about the bush.”
