I started by signing in to a billionaire sister

Chapter 162 Are you playing the chairman here?

As she stood on her tiptoes and spun around, Xu Jing noticed Lin Xiao's presence, stopped, and opened the door. "Come in."

Lin Xiao went inside and handed her the tin lunchbox.

"The silence and the shyness after peeping are perfectly controlled!" Liang Wen clenched his fist and whispered.

This can't even be considered an audition anymore; it could be shown directly without any editing, and the quality would be ridiculously high.

That’s outrageous!

"If there were more actors like Mr. Chen and Ms. Su, we would probably all be out of a job," the editor lamented.

"Who says otherwise? Hahaha."

……

"Mr. Chen, I implore you to play the role of Lin Xiao." After Chen Wei finished his performance, Liang Wen hurriedly took the towel and water bottle he had prepared in advance and handed them to him.

This level of treatment is unprecedented in the entire entertainment industry, except for Chen Wei.

Su Meiyu watched from the side and also found it incredible.

"Didn't we agree that it was just a screen test? Why are you going back on your word?" Chen Wei took the towel and water bottle, tilted his head back, and gulped down more than half of the bottle in one go.

“Mr. Chen, to be honest, I have never seen an actor who is so similar to the character I created. It’s as if you were born for the role of Lin Xiao. No, it should be that the role of Lin Xiao was tailor-made for you.” Liang Wen reacted quickly and changed his words in time.

"Director Liang, this is my first time acting. If you praise me like this, I'll get arrogant," Chen Wei joked.

"Young people have the ability, so it's okay for them to be a little arrogant."

No one would find it strange if someone said this, but it felt very out of place coming from Liang Wen.

After all, Lin Fei's example is still there for all to see.

The agent was almost in tears.

Brake sound!
The car door opened, and Lin Fei stepped out, took off his sunglasses, and said with a smile, "Sorry everyone, there was a traffic jam on the way, I'm late."

Upon seeing Lin Fei's arrival, Liang Wen's brows furrowed instantly, and he turned his gaze to his agent, "Didn't I tell you to tell him he doesn't need to come again?"

"I... I had no cell phone signal just now, sorry, Director Liang." The agent lied. In fact, he was afraid that if he told Lin Fei the news, he would be scolded severely.

"No need to come again? What do you mean? We're not filming today? You should have said so earlier! This is a wasted trip." Lin Fei complained to his manager.

"It's not that we're not filming today, it's that you won't have to film anymore in the future," Liang Wen said irritably.

"Director Liang, what do you mean by that? Is the funding chain broken and the film is going to be abandoned?" Lin Fei clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

“I value an actor’s character highly, and you clearly don’t meet the standard. I’ve already found a new lead actor, so I won’t trouble you, a big star, to take time out of your busy schedule to act for me anymore.” Liang Wen had explained it very clearly, and if Lin Fei still didn’t understand, he would have no choice but to curse.

"You mean you're going to kick me out of the production team?" Lin Fei understood.

"That's one way to understand it," Liang Wen nodded in affirmation.

"At least, at least let me know who replaced me, right?" Lin Fei didn't want to lose without knowing why.

He noticed Liang Wen's unintentional glance at Chen Wei.

Lin Fei walked up to him and questioned, "Dude, are you the one stealing my job?"

"Don't misunderstand, I don't really want to eat this." Chen Wei put his hand in front of him, making Lin Fei keep his distance. "You're smart." Lin Fei misunderstood, thinking that Chen Wei was saying this because he was afraid of him.

The next second, he noticed Su Meiyu's presence, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Sister Su, it's been a long time."

"Uh...long time no see." It was clear that Su Meiyu disliked Lin Fei's way of addressing her, but since they were all in the same circle, she didn't want to make things too awkward.

"Sister Su, this is my first on-screen kiss, so I'll have to trouble you to guide me."

First on-screen kiss?

Su Meiyu immediately looked at Liang Wen.

Liang Wen was also completely bewildered. The unspoken understanding between Lin Xiao and Xu Jing had never been broken. After Xu Jing became famous through the competition, her relationship with Lin Xiao gradually became distant...

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Lin Fei called out, "Little Liu!"

"Um, I'm sorry, I was too busy yesterday. I haven't had a chance to tell Director Liang about the script revisions you mentioned," the agent explained.

"For your own selfish desires, you actually want me to change the script? You're incredibly arrogant! Get out of here! I won't use anyone else!" Liang Wen was furious.

"Director Liang, do you think it's appropriate to change the lead actor now? We at Jinmai Entertainment have been negotiating with you for so long, and we've even signed a contract. You just want to change him? That's a huge disrespect to Jinmai Entertainment!" Lin Fei didn't want to fall out with Liang Wen; he still had powerful backers.

Jinmai Entertainment...

This guy is actually an artist under his own company.

Chen Wei was speechless.

"I'll pay the breach of contract fee myself, you don't need to worry about it." What Liang Wen hates most is being threatened by others.

“Okay, if I remember correctly, you’ll have to pay Jinmai at least 20 million. The total cost of the whole movie is probably around 40 million, right?” Lin Fei replied casually, as if he had expected Liang Wen to say this.

"You!" Liang Wen wanted to say it, but he couldn't get the words out.

Just as Lin Fei said, the total budget for his entire film was only 42 million. After paying 20 million in breach of contract fees, it was definitely impossible to continue filming.

Even if they could continue filming, the quality would definitely be greatly reduced, which would ruin their reputation.

Liang Wen hesitated.

“Director Liang, I’ve seriously considered your suggestion, and I’m willing to play Lin Xiao. As for the breach of contract penalty, you don’t need to pay it,” Chen Wei suddenly said.

If he doesn't speak up, Lin Fei can threaten Liang Wen once, and he can threaten him a second time.

Change the kissing scene? Don't even think about it!

Moreover, it's all thanks to his own influence.

Liang Wen was naturally very happy that Chen Wei was willing to play the role of Lin Xiao, but... his life was now in Lin Fei's hands.

"What do you mean you don't have to pay the penalty for breach of contract? Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak like that?" Lin Fei had disliked Chen Wei for a long time.

Chen Wei ignored him, took out his phone, and dialed Wang Jia's number. "There's an artist in the company named Lin Fei, right? He's fired, yes, he'll be fired soon. Also, regarding his contract with Director Liang's crew, a peaceful termination is fine, and he doesn't need to pay any compensation."

"Dude, I didn't realize you were such a good actor. You're playing a chairman here, aren't you?" Lin Fei chuckled.
