Live fortune-telling, gay wife is eaten out

Chapter 142: Reduced Pay for Acting

"Since you think I can't find someone to replace you in the entertainment industry, then go ahead. I don't believe that I can't continue filming this movie without you."

Sun Caijun completely lost face here, and tried to make amends for himself:

"Then I'll see what Director Duan can achieve with this film."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her residence, but she did not see him leave.

Xia Youning didn't expect that her distraction would cause such a big misunderstanding, and the male lead of the movie simply left and stopped acting.

"Director Duan, I was a little distracted just now. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"But there's something about Sun Caijun that's worth noting."

Ever since the last variety show, Duan Xinghai knew that Xia Youning must have something extraordinary. Even though Assistant Yang from the Taoist Association had denied it, he still insisted on his opinion.

Xia Youning told him not to provoke Sun Caijun, so he didn't provoke him.

But now that the film has already started shooting, and Sun Caijun has gone on strike, he can only find a temporary replacement.

Sun Caijun's agent also saw Sun Caijun and Duan Xinghai quarreling at the scene. She didn't expect that Sun Caijun would stop performing in a flash, so she hurried to Duan Xinghai to explain:

"Director Duan, please don't be angry. Caijun didn't mean that. Just now, Xia Youning was distracted during filming, and he was a little angry as a senior, so he spoke incoherently."

"I'll go back and talk to him. Don't worry, we won't go on strike."

If word of his strike gets out, even if Sun Caijun is an award-winning actor, his reputation in the industry will plummet.

In the future, before any director wants to ask him to film a movie, he will think about whether he will go on strike halfway through the performance.

Then almost all the initial investment in this movie would be wasted.

Sun Caijun regretted what he said as soon as he finished speaking, and he also knew what his strike meant.

But he had already said it, and so many people were watching. If he changed his words on the spot, wouldn't he lose face?

"Caijun, you were too impulsive just now. Even if Director Duan's movie doesn't win an award, it will at least win a good reputation."

"That Xia Youning was just in a daze. Why did you do such a stupid thing and try to change the actress?"

Sun Caijun told his agent what happened yesterday.

When the agent found out, he looked very unhappy.

Sun Caijun is the first artist she managed after becoming a manager. When Sun Caijun was a newcomer in the entertainment industry, he was not as blatant as he is now.

At that time he used sweet words to coax her, and eventually they became a couple.

However, for the sake of Sun Caijun's career, the agent did not make it public.

In order to help Sun Caijun gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, she worked hard to help him grab various resources.

But later, Sun Caijun became more and more famous, and his entertainment became more and more extravagant.

As long as the actress he partnered with was not famous, he would find various reasons to become a couple with those actresses on the crew.

He doesn't care about her, his so-called girlfriend, at all.

Sun Caijun had clearly promised her that it was the last time, but he didn't expect that this time when he entered the crew, he actually wanted to be with Xia Youning again...

It must have been Xia Youning who seduced him.

Xia Youning relies on her good looks and wants to get resources in the entertainment industry, and Sun Caijun is the fastest way for her to get there.

He suppressed his emotions, took a few steps forward, and said:

"Caijun, we'll buy some milk tea for everyone later. You go find the director, apologize to him, and take the initiative to reduce your pay so that you can continue to play this role."

"Xia Youning is just a newcomer who looks pretty good. Are you going to ruin your career for her?"

Sun Caijun's face turned a little dark, and he felt uncomfortable when he thought about apologizing to Director Duan.

But for the sake of his future career, he had to do it.

……

Duan Xinghai asked everyone to go back and rest, while he went to contact male actors with good acting skills that he knew.

Sun Caijun is the best choice, but not the only one.

"Manager Chen, is Yang Xiaohao available? I have a movie and I'm just missing a leading man."

"Oh, I see. Let's work together again next time we have a chance."

Duan Xinghai knew that it was indeed difficult to find actors at short notice because the schedules of those with good acting skills were already fully booked.

He has already asked several male actors who are recognized for their good acting skills, and the answer he got was that they were not available.

Does the male protagonist also have to take the risk of hiring a newcomer?

At this moment, there was a knock on his door:

"Dong dong dong."

Duan Xinghai walked over and opened the door, and outside the door was Sun Caijun, with whom he had just quarreled.

Holding the milk tea he just bought in one hand and the contract in the other, he said:

"Director Duan, calm down. I was too impulsive just now."

"It's also because I just took the shots a few times but they didn't go well. I finally got the emotions right once, but Xia Youning not only didn't get into the role, she couldn't even recite the simple lines."

"And I told her yesterday in advance that I was going to rehearse the play, but she ignored me."

"This is the contract I re-drafted. The other terms are the same as before, but the salary has been reduced from 30 million to 10 million."

"Are you satisfied with my sincerity?"

To be honest, Duan Xinghai was not just satisfied, he was extremely satisfied. He would pay 10 million to invite the best actor to play the leading male role.

It's just that Sun Caijun's previous behavior was indeed irritating, so he said:

"Sun Caijun, your salary is indeed very tempting, but if you want to continue to star in this movie, you have to promise me that you will not cause trouble for Xia Youning again."

"Also, if you are unable to perform or go on strike halfway through filming, you will have to bear all the expenses incurred so far."

Everyone present could see that Sun Caijun was just trying to cause trouble on purpose, and it was not like what he explained.

But he really can't find a suitable candidate now. If Sun Caijun can agree to those two conditions, he can let Sun Caijun continue to act.

Sun Caijun felt that it was impossible for him to go on strike again, and he realized that Director Duan had special feelings for Xia Youning.

He would not openly cause trouble for Xia Youning like he did this time.

There are many ways to play tricks on people in the entertainment industry, and he has many ways to find fault with Xia Youning and leave Director Duan speechless.

"Okay, Director Duan, I'll add the two clauses you mentioned to the new contract later."

"In order not to delay the filming progress, let's continue filming today. I will bring the new contract tomorrow."

Since Sun Caijun agreed to Duan Xinghai's conditions, Duan Xinghai immediately asked everyone to prepare for filming.

Seeing that Duan Xinghai agreed, Sun Caijun revealed a barely perceptible smile.

Since Duan Xinghai protects Xia Youning so much, he wants to let Duan Xinghai see how bad Xia Youning's acting skills are.

He planned to torture Xia Youning with his acting skills during the filming, so that Xia Youning would know what it meant that there are always people better than you.

It was the same scene again. Sun Caijun gave Xia Youning an affectionate look, thinking that Xia Youning could not follow his acting at all, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
