Chapter 47: 047 I will tell on you.
After Gu Chengyu left, Director Tang crossed his arms and frowned as he asked Shi Lan, “Did you provoke him again?”
“I’ve been under your watch the whole time,” Miss Shi insisted she wouldn’t take the blame for this.
“No filming this afternoon, everyone rest!”
“Director Tang, we could shoot my parts, and there are also some group scenes,” Shi Lan didn’t want to waste time.
“Then let’s change the set.” Director Tang waved his hand, actually quite satisfied with Shi Lan’s work ethic.
Sun Ling came over with a clean towel, not being able to help complaining, “Is this male lead an idiot?”
Shi Lan let Sun Ling drape the towel over her shoulders as she walked downstairs, clutching her phone in hand, unable to resist, she sent a message to that bastard on WeChat.
Shi Lan: “Boss Yan, someone keeps delaying the shooting schedule over and over. Shouldn’t they be socially beaten up?”
Boss Yan asked with interest, “If it were you, what would you do?”
I would get a group of people to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, and then treat him to a “high-end” meal to make him sober up and understand the dark side of the entertainment industry.
But at the moment, operating under An Lan’s ID, Shi Lan could only make a mental note of it for now.
Shi Lan: “I don’t know, I would just tell on him.”
Seeing the reply, Yan Shixiu chuckled. In the past, Miss Shi Lan would never give a heads up when dealing with someone; now, she can only swallow her feelings, which must be tough for her.
Yet, the way she tattles is somewhat submissive, which is awkward yet endearing.
Actually, after sending the message, Shi Lan regretted it.
Because she felt like she was leveraging Yan Shixiu’s “pursuit” of her to ask for favors, a bit like acting like Gu Chengyu 2.0.
But in truth, she had no such intention; she messaged Yan Shixiu because she had said she admired the way that bastard dealt with things and was used to seeking out that resonating person.
Shi Lan: “Never mind what I said, just talking.”
But on Yan Shixiu’s side, it wasn’t just idle listening.
Boss Yan: “Telling on someone is a virtue.”
Seeing this response, Shi Lan was infuriated. In a previous life, getting a kind word out of you was like forcing you to swallow poison, but now for someone else, the compliments come easily.
Shi Lan: “Boss Yan, where’s your bottom line?”
Boss Yan: “Seriously, how do you want to handle it?”
The female boss, adhering to her principle of relieving everyone, especially saving Director Tang from a heart attack, sent Yan Shixiu a “suggestion.”
Artists like Gu Chengyu, spoiled by fans, need to be controlled now, otherwise they’ll keep causing trouble in the future.
After reading Shi Lan’s “suggestion,” Yan Shixiu replied with just four words: “As you wish.”
Shi Lan: “What do you mean ‘as I wish’? Whose budget am I trying to save? This is called being loyal!”
Boss Yan: “If this was just between brothers… it would be a pity.”
Three sentences without flirting, will you die?
Shi Lan: “I’m going to start shooting!”
Boss Yan smiled, put away his phone, and summoned his assistant into the office. Shi Lan’s method was one that most big shots in the industry would use, she was indeed experienced.
Firstly, on Director Tang’s end, they made Gu Chengyu reflect on his actions.
Then, Gu Chengyu’s management company would pretend to arrange a B-lister to take over his role and get Gu Chengyu involved with some terrible scripts, to serve as a warning.
Normally, the management companies would cooperate, as they too feared artists would become arrogant with fame, and would attempt to rein them in.
The management company made it clear that they could continue without Gu Chengyu.
Now, when Gu Chengyu humbled himself and begged Director Tang to take him back, that was the time for Director Tang to grind him down further.
This chain of actions would strip even the proudest artist of their arrogance!
