Chapter 683 Free Publicity
“She wants to add more scenes? She even brought her own scriptwriter into the production team?” Su Yayan almost laughed out of anger when she heard about this. “Does she think that the production team is her family? Everyone in the production team has to revolve around her, right? Tell her to behave herself, or else she’ll be fired. She’s not part of our company, so East City has no obligation to spoil her.”
Su Yayan’s words were a clear indication of East City’s attitude towards this matter. However, this person was someone who could come up with her own script. How could she settle down just because they wanted her to?
This second female lead, who had just joined the crew, was invited out of the crew on the same day and sent back to Jueying.
It would have been fine if this matter had ended there. However, a certain someone was not someone who could keep things quiet. She started causing trouble the moment she returned to the company.
She claimed that on her first day on the production team, she was bullied by the cast and crew just because she was not an artist from East City. She was forced to leave the production team and led her fans to tear East City apart.
East City Entertainment had taken into consideration that Jueying still had a male artist on the set, and that he was rather well-behaved, so it was not appropriate for them to fall out with Jueying. If things got too ugly, they wouldn’t pursue this female artiste’s weird actions.
In the end, someone treated their tolerance as weakness.
East City did not give Jueying any face. They immediately announced the whole story and asked for compensation.
That’s right, they were asking for compensation.
Back then, Jueying had taken the initiative to express their goodwill. Su Yayan had been wary of the two actors who had been forced into the production team.
In the entertainment industry, there were many cases where the actors and actresses were brought into the production team to change their scripts. It was not uncommon for the supporting actors and actresses to be similar to the main leads.
Hence, she was going to make things clear first. She got all the artists to sign the agreement to ensure that they would not cause trouble.
Now that this female artiste had caused such a ruckus, compensation was secondary. She had only joined the production team for two to three days and the production team had not been delayed for long.
It was mainly because the film crew needed to find someone else to incur losses from breaching the contract, but this was not a big deal for Jueying.
However, after what she did, everyone knew that she was acting like a big shot. She even brought her own scriptwriter to add scenes.
All these years, because of the supporting roles and extra scenes, this significant drama in the public’s hearts had been changed beyond recognition. Although it had an IP name, the plot had nothing to do with the original IP. All of a sudden, all of her grievances were vented on her, and she was scolded badly.
If there was a director who wanted to film with her, he would have to consider whether he could withstand the negative public opinion brought by this person and whether he could serve such an ancestor.
On the contrary, East City’s confident decisiveness had also attracted another wave of fans. The fans of the comic series who were initially worried that their IPs would be modified temporarily calmed down. They also helped the initially low-profile film crew build up a sense of presence and warm up in advance.
“She saved us a sum of money for publicity by causing such a scene. In addition to the other losses, it’s not a loss.”
When Xia Junsheng heard Su Yayan’s words, his first reaction was to think that she had already predicted that someone would create such a scene. Not only did she make an example out of her, but she even stepped on her to make her presence known.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was possible.
Agreeing to Jueying’s request could be considered as giving Jueying some face. At that time, signing the contract was also to ensure that both of them could be safe.
It would be best if these two celebrities were well-behaved. Everyone would be harmonious and film a good drama. It would be a win-win for both of them.
Once they were up to no good, it would be a waste not to take the attention that came to them.
