Lu Baobao's face turned pale after hearing Director Zhang's words, his eyes dimmed, and then he laughed at himself.

He had already had such a premonition when he came to the crew, but now it was just a guess that had been verified, and he didn't even feel it was a surprise.

"Can we still discuss this matter? It's not a matter of investment, but it will delay the filming time. The previous filming has already been completed..."

Over there, Director Zhang was still trying to persuade the other party, but looking at his expression, one could guess that the other party's reaction was not optimistic.

Later, he said a few more words, then hung up the phone with a sad look on his face, and a sad and angry look on his face.

Outsiders only know the director's reputation, but they don't know that in the eyes of the investors and producers, the director is just a wage earner. Some directors have great names and authority, and can be respected and given more authority, but some directors are only

If you can obey the arrangements from above, you can have no control over anything.

Sometimes he seems to be able to make the decision, but that is when there is no voice from above. Like now, as long as there is pressure from above, he has no ability to resist.

It's just a high-level chess piece.

"Director Zhang, I'm just leaving the crew. I won't embarrass you."

Lu Baobao said aloud.

Director Zhang was very touched when he heard this. He glanced at him and sighed, "You are a good boy, but... I can't help you."

"That Hong Zhen is too much!"

Xia Mu stared angrily. She stretched out her hand to adjust her glasses, thought for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and started dialing.

"Mr. Yuan, I'm Xia Mu... Lu Baobei can't be replaced. He acted very well. He has worked hard for so long and it's almost finished. Do you know how much impact it will have if you change the actor now? You have to start over. You have to deal with him.

The actors of the play have to be re-filmed, the filming location has to be re-rented, and the time has to be postponed... Moreover, the lineup has been officially announced before, and now it is changed, how will his fans and netizens react? We

How can I give an explanation?"

"Money? Is this a money issue? Do you think I am short of money! These losses are not just a money issue, they affect the reputation and quality of the show!"

"Of course I know this is what Hong Zhen means. Go tell him that you can touch other people, but you can't touch the actors on my crew. Even if you really want to touch them, you have to wait until the filming is completed smoothly!"

Xia Mu became anxious at the end and hung up the phone after yelling.

Then everyone looked at her blankly.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xia Mu thoughtfully.

"Not everyone can be bullied by us. This show is my hard work. No one can destroy it!"

I want to see if that guy surnamed Hong dares to come to the set and steal people!"

Lu Baobei didn't expect that this screenwriter sister, who had not had much communication with him, would be so protective of him, and he was deeply moved.

"Then what's going to happen next, baby..." Director Zhang looked at Xia Mu and said weakly.

"Shoot, keep shooting for me!"

Xia Mu rolled up her sleeves, her thin arms were white and tender, but she had the aura to point out the world, "Hurry up and finish the photo quickly, so that you don't have to do anything else!"

"Okay, okay."

Director Zhang was shocked by her queen-like posture. He wiped his sweat and agreed, "Honey, go and get ready. I'll shoot your next scene."

Lu Baobei looked at him and then at Xia Mu, her eye circles were a little red, she bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"Be good, go ahead."

Jiang Xiaobai patted him on the back.

"Um!"

Lu Baobei nodded heavily, and then turned around quickly to prevent them from seeing the tears that were about to fall.

"In the next time, we will focus on filming Bao'er's scenes and try to get his scenes completed while other actors push back." Xia Mu told Director Zhang, "Hurry up and make arrangements. The sooner it's over, the better.

"

"Okay, I understand." Director Zhang nodded, "It can be done in two days at most."

There aren't many scenes left for Lu Baobei, and even if he wasn't deliberately arranged, it would be over in a few days.

If the shooting process goes smoothly, it may be completed in less than two days.

In the subsequent scenes, Jiang Xiaobai only had one scene opposite Lu Baobei, but she still stayed on the set to accompany him all day.

Perhaps they were afraid of something unexpected happening, so Director Zhang and Xia Mu stayed close to each other.

Just that evening, Xia Mu received a phone call.

She frowned when she saw the phone call and didn't avoid everyone when she answered it.

"Hey, dad... can you please keep your voice down? Your daughter and I are going to be deafened by your yelling... Yes, I told Mr. Yuan... Do you blame me for this? It's not that the man surnamed Hong did too much.

, he reached out to my crew, why should I let him go just because he is gay? Just dream... What? Is there any cooperation? "

Xia Mu's voice became softer and quieter because she took her cell phone and walked away while chatting.

Jiang Xiaobai and others did not hear the rest of the words. At this time, Lu Baobao was filming. He vaguely heard the content of Xia Mu's phone call and was affected. He looked in her direction in a daze.

Director Zhang gave a timely reminder, Lu Baobao came to his senses, and filming continued.

"I don't care! Dad, please help me. He can get involved in other dramas if he wants, but not my drama!"

In the end, Xia Mu roared, put away her phone, and strode back.

"What's wrong? Did the old man lecture you?" Director Zhang asked tentatively.

"He said that the man surnamed Hong was cooperating with my third uncle and told me not to cause trouble." Xia Mu sneered, "Am I asking for trouble? I'm the one who's being made trouble, okay! That damn faggot.

He's so arrogant, if it weren't for him being so handsome, I would have punched him in the head!"

Director Zhang: "...Auntie, please keep your voice down, everyone is looking over here."

Xia Mu froze, looked around carefully, and found that the staff looked at her with strange eyes, full of admiration and fear, and couldn't help but wailed——

"It's over...my image of an intellectual female writer!"

Jiang Xiaobai suppressed laughter and lowered his head.

"Can this matter be solved?" Director Zhang is concerned about the progress of the play, "You can't compromise, I can only rely on you to support it!"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Xia Mu pushed up her glasses, "Just hold on if you can, but if you can't... then let's talk about it."

Director Zhang glanced at her sideways.

Lu Baobao came back from filming this scene. Upon seeing this, Xia Mu went over and rubbed his head, "Don't panic, baby, we will try our best to protect you."

"Thank you, Sister Xia." Lu Baobao said gratefully.

Lu Baobei finished filming all the scenes at noon the next day. No one came to interrupt during the filming, and Xia Mu's side seemed very quiet.
