Looking at the sky, Lu Mao began to ponder a very serious question.
"Thinking about it carefully, I must have been tricked again, right?"
As a top student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, Lu Mao was filled with dramatic knowledge and filming techniques.
However, these things seemed to be utterly useless in this production...
Not far away, Soulmate was struggling to stack blocks while wearing a Hip-Hop style wolf mask.
There was no helping it; his clumsy hands had accidentally knocked down the block house that Soul Sphere had spent a long time building.
At that moment, sitting in the director's chair, Lu Mao must have felt utterly devastated.
Watching the actors move around in front of the camera, only to see the block house collapse into pieces...
"This is Pure Love Movie! Why does it look like Ultraman fighting monsters?"
This was definitely not a disaster film!
"Alright, let's just glue it together and shoot again."
They had been filming for quite some time but had nothing to show for it; just stacking blocks had taken up a lot of time.
If this continued, their production team might as well give up and just stack blocks instead.
Upon receiving Lu Mao's instructions, the Prop Master looked as if he were constipated.
"What's wrong? If you need to use the restroom, go ahead. I'm not stopping you," Lu Mao waved his hand, looking quite impatient.
Lazy people have a lot of needs! Lu Xun does not deceive me!
The Prop Master shuffled his feet awkwardly on the ground and said shyly, "Um, Director, we're out of glue."
Lu Mao let out a long sigh, trying to calm the anger boiling inside him. He spoke in a low voice, "If we're out, can't you just go buy some? Are you...?"
"I'm out of money!"
The Prop Master's words made Lu Mao swallow the rest of his curse words.
If it were something else, he could have cursed a bit more, but who could he blame for being out of money?
After a moment of thought, Lu Mao shook his head. With so many damn blocks, using glue on all of them didn't seem feasible.
The budget was limited, and he still had to pay for the actors.
Indeed, since Soulmate and Eastern Maiden insisted on their paychecks, Li Hong had no choice but to accept it begrudgingly.
Originally, there was only one million for production costs. After deducting the salaries and props, there was hardly anything left.
This meant that Lu Mao had to be very frugal; every penny counted.
"Then let's make do for now. Everyone be careful during the activities and try not to knock over the blocks!"
While making this film, Lu Mao hadn't learned much else, but he had certainly learned how to make do.
After all, it had already become a terrible movie; what else could he do but let it get even worse?
In the neighboring villa area, Luhan was fuming with anger.
As a top-tier star in China, he couldn't believe he was being bullied by a film crew that seemed to have popped up out of nowhere!
"Alright, alright, don't be angry," his manager, Lu Mei, quickly stepped in to comfort him.
"You didn't hear the way that person spoke. What do you mean they are requisitioning my villa and telling me to get lost?" Every time he thought about it, Luhan felt a pang of frustration.
He had initially thought that since they were all in the entertainment industry, it wouldn't be a big deal if another crew wanted to borrow his villa for a bit.
But that guy had walked in and immediately said, "This villa has already been requisitioned by Sweet Potato Film Company. Unrelated people should leave at once."
That infuriated Luhan!
Who did he think he was? He was one of the hottest stars in China, with works that were currently trending.
How dare this unknown Sweet Potato Films speak to him like that?
Even if they were rude, a simple thank you would have sufficed! After all, Luhan was willing to lend them his villa for free.
But the arrogant attitude of that person had completely pushed Luhan over the edge.
This was just too much!
Lu Mei picked up her phone and made a call. After a moment, she hung up and said to Luhan, "I found out that this company has been established for many years, but it's just a shell company with no real projects. This drama is their debut work."
"Hmph!" Luhan snorted coldly, clearly still seething with anger.
The agent finished his business and seemed to sense that Luhan was in a bad mood, turning around and leaving.
Sitting on the sofa, Luhan felt as if he had a breath stuck in his chest.
He took out his phone and opened his Meager account, writing: "Today, I am truly furious. There’s a film crew that borrowed my family’s villa for shooting. Without a second thought, I agreed because I knew they were having a hard time. I let them use it for free. Today, when they came to my house, I expected at least a thank you. Instead, the first thing I heard was 'Get lost, this place has been requisitioned...'"
He wrote down everything that happened today and tagged Sweet Potato Films' Meager account.
As a popular star, Luhan's post quickly garnered a flurry of likes and comments.
"666, daring to tell Luhan to get lost? This Sweet Potato Films has some guts!"
"Temporary worker tragedy +1, this guy will be fired soon. If they don’t fire him and apologize, I’ll go live with my little buddy!"
"Adding to that, who does Sweet Potato Films think they are? A staff member daring to act so arrogantly?"
"I just checked; it’s a shell company with nothing to show."
"Luhan getting slapped in the face again. Looking forward to Sweet Potato Films’ apology."
Seeing these comments made Luhan feel much better; at least public opinion was on his side.
"Apologize? Hmph, I won’t accept it," Luhan scoffed.
...
"Ding ding ding, it's my fault. Why didn’t your boyfriend come looking for you when he poked you? Now that you're pregnant, you come back to me..."
The non-mainstream ringtone rang out as Li Hong groggily got out of bed and answered the phone.
"Boss, we have a big problem!" Charlie's voice trembled on the other end of the phone.
Li Hong calmly rubbed a few sleep particles from the corners of his eyes, popped them into his mouth, and asked, "What happened now?"
"Boss, you won't believe it! We're in trouble! Just check Meager and you'll see—we're trending!"
Li Hong felt a surge of excitement. Charlie was actually doing a decent job; with just a bit of promotional funding, they had managed to make it onto Meager's trending list.
But why was Charlie in trouble?
Unable to comprehend Charlie's thought process, Li Hong exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
He opened Meager and began searching for the big news involving Charlie.
The first trending topic: Luhan Gets Slammed!
The second: Sweet Potato Films!
The third: The Most Disgusting Film Company in the Entertainment Industry!
"Wow, second place isn't bad," Li Hong thought. He never expected that Charlie could actually pull off something like this and land them at number two on the trending list.
However, when Li Hong clicked to see more, he was instantly taken aback.
He had seen Luhan's post on Meager right away.
The post directly called out Sweet Potato Films by name—there was no way Li Hong could ignore it.
"What the hell, this really is a big deal!" Li Hong cursed, his expression one of disbelief.
This Damn it Sweet Potato Films hasn’t even debuted yet, so how come it’s making enemies with others? Not to mention, this person is still a popular person in the entertainment industry, which is troublesome. Li Hong It’s true that he wants to be famous, but this kind of fame is not what he wants to see. Now, Sweet Potato Films is really smelly! In particular, all the comments made Sweet Potato Films come out and apologize. "Apologise? I'm sorry, am I the kind of person who can apologize?" After cursing in a low voice, Li Hong appeared on Sweet Potato Films's Official Meager with a murderous look on his face. made a statement.
