Chapter 567: Chapter 567 Empress Goes Wild! 1
Han Luoqi clearly didn’t believe it.
“What else do you think?” Suddenly thinking of something, Xia Weibao’s smile grew colder, “You think I have some improper relationship with him? Something like casting couch?”
Her confronting gaze made Han Luoqi somewhat uncomfortable.
“I didn’t say that, but Xu Jiayang asked me to take special care of you. If it was really just about working on one drama together, would he be that nice to you?
Xia Weibao, I know you love to stir up publicity, but don’t drag Xu Jiayang into it.
He’s only just starting to turn things around now. It’s a critical time, and any scandal would be a blow.”
This was the real reason he was displeased with Xia Weibao.
Xia Weibao was in the headlines every day, her publicity stunts were too aggressive.
Now she’s even dragging Xu Jiayang into her schemes.
“Which eye of yours saw me using Director Xu for publicity?”
“If there’s nothing between you two, why did he specifically ask me to take care of you?”
Apart from Chu Ying, he hadn’t seen any other women beside Xu Jiayang, nor had he seen him care about any other women.
For Xia Weibao to rise up so quickly in such a short time showed that this woman was not simple.
One Chu Ying had already caused enough disaster for Xu Jiayang. If Xia Weibao were added to the mix, I guess that guy would never be able to turn things around in his lifetime!
Xia Weibao didn’t want to talk anymore.
She stood up and walked out.
“Hey, what do you mean by that?”
Han Luoqi quickly followed her.
At the hotel, not long after Xia Weibao left, someone came knocking on the door.
Zhuang Xuejun looked through the peephole to see a female actress from the crew, so she opened the door.
“Xuejun, there’s been a change in the script. Director Huang wants us to go to his room for a mini-meeting.”
“To Director Huang’s room?”
Zhuang Xuejun frowned. It was already ten o’clock at night. Going to the director’s room wasn’t very appropriate, was it?
“Yes, everyone’s going over. Hurry up. By the way, do you live with Xia Weibao?”
“Yes, but Baby has gone out.”
“Oh, I see.” The actress seemed troubled, “Then let’s go first and have Director Huang tell Xia Weibao tomorrow.”
Zhuang Xuejun felt uneasy and really didn’t want to go.
But there was no reason not to attend a crew meeting.
She glanced in the direction of Huang Wenan’s room, just in time to see three actors going in, two men, and one woman.
Since it was the crew that was gathered there, it should be a real meeting.
She took her room card and followed the actress into Huang Wenan’s room.
There were already more than a dozen actors inside, huddled together discussing the script.
Zhuang Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed she had been worrying for nothing. It was indeed a meeting, not something else.
It was all because of the way Huang Wenan had been looking at her these past two days, making her feel a bit paranoid.
“Here’s the new script. Everyone, take a look.”
Huang Wenan handed out a copy to each person and when he reached Zhuang Xuejun, his gaze seemed somewhat unfathomable.
Zhuang Xuejun took the script and gave it a cursory look, slightly furrowing her brow.
Xia Weibao’s scenes had been cut!
It seemed that the incident that afternoon had angered Wan Ke.
She was playing the third female lead, and her character was best friends with Bai He, so nearly all her scenes were with Bai He. But now it was changed so that she was best friends with Jin Die instead.
Which meant that Bai He’s scenes were cut by at least half!
Just then, Huang Wenan sat down next to her with the script in hand.
“Xuejun, the biggest changes are to your part. Let me explain them to you in detail.”
His approach made Zhuang Xuejun’s skin crawl.
But he focused on the script the whole time, discussing it intently, so she didn’t feel it was appropriate to say much.
Besides, the rest of the crew was still there.
However, about half an hour later, the other actors had received the script and gradually left.
Zhuang Xuejun’s scenes were still not entirely discussed, so in the end, only she and Huang Wenan were left, which made her feel very uneasy.
