Chapter 52: Chapter 52: What a beautiful slap in the face!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Indeed, wherever Xia Weibao was, she was the one being ignored!
Never able to step out of Xia Weibao’s shadow, how could she not be furious!
She must trample Xia Weibao beneath her feet, definitely!
Of course, with so many eyes watching, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront this personally, as it would affect her image.
So she signaled to a nearby minor actor with her eyes.
The minor actor was Lin Mier’s lackey and immediately understood her intent.
With arrogant chin-up, and a face full of sarcasm, “Not even weighing oneself, a lowly web drama crew dares to make noise against us.
‘Imperial Harem’ is a TV drama that will be broadcast on radio stations, unlike some dramas that can only play on websites.
And it can’t even make it onto major websites, what a future!”
Upon hearing these words, the faces of everyone from the Allure Crew turned sour.
The broadcasting of Allure was indeed a big problem.
Xia Weibao and Xu Jiayang, currently blacklisted by the entire nation!
Netizens unanimously pledged not to watch ‘Allure.’
This also suggested that no website would stream ‘Allure.’
This was something everyone was aware of, but they had not reached that step yet, so no one thought about it.
Now that it was brought up, the embarrassment was imaginable.
The Allure actors, already displeased with Xia Weibao, now displayed outright hostility.
If it weren’t for her snatching Lin Mier’s leading role with such lowly methods, ‘Allure’ wouldn’t have been blacklisted.
And with Lin Mier’s status in the entertainment industry, even if she couldn’t turn ‘Allure’ into a hit, at least she would have brought in traffic.
Now, they had nothing.
Many of these obscure actors were filming for the first time, and it was hard enough to get a role; but because of Xia Weibao, ‘Allure’ was blacklisted, and they were blacklisted as well.
Now they were also being publicly embarrassed.
You can imagine how they felt.
The one with the ugliest expression had to be Xu Jiayang.
Once, when he made a name for himself in the director’s circle, Li Cheng was just an intern director, and now he dared to slap his face in public!
Seeing Xu Jiayang’s sullen face gave Li Cheng an incomparable sense of satisfaction.
Thinking back on Xu Jiayang’s achievements in the director’s circle, how many people envied and were jealous of him—he was one of them!
Little did he imagine that time had changed and it was his turn to hold his head high and gloat!
“Director Xu, the Supreme Card comes with priority rights.
If you could also present a Supreme Card, you might have priority too, but…”
Li Cheng said, laughing heartily, his eyes full of disdain.
“Look at what I’m saying, with your current financial situation, Director Xu, just coming to this kind of five-star bar requires saving for months, doesn’t it? How could you possibly have a VIP Supreme Card.”
Saying this, he even smugly tapped Xu Jiayang’s shoulder twice with his Supreme Card.
His face, etched with mockery, “Director Xu, I’m not trying to be mean, but for a crew as poor as ‘Allure,’ where even props are homemade, why bother coming to a high-end place and pretending to be more than you are, can you even afford it?”
He bit down hard on the last few words.
Listening, Xu Jiayang’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
The members of the Allure Crew were even more mortified.
Just as Xu Jiayang was about to explode, Xia Weibao stepped forward.
With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, she looked at Li Cheng.
“Director Li is right, we from Allure truly don’t have a VIP Supreme Card.
A poor crew like ours could only have these worthless trash cards.”
As she spoke, she slapped a VIP Supreme Card onto the front desk.
