"Kid, you dare to hit Director Frank, you must have a death wish!"
"Ye Yuwan, just because you think you're famous in Flame Dragon, you think you're something special?"
"Ye Yuwan, you had someone hit Director Frank, wait to be blacklisted!"
"Catch them, don't let them get away!"
A group of crew members shouted as they charged toward Jiang Chen and his companion.
"Catch them! Catch them! Beat them to death! Hit them!" Li Sa shouted excitedly.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Two loud shouts rang out simultaneously.
Everyone was startled and turned to look.
A glamorous woman was walking toward them, and at the entrance of the studio, a man dressed in a tailcoat was also approaching.
When Sa Li turned to look at the entrance of the studio, a surprised expression appeared in her eyes.
Raul? What was he doing here?
Li Sa then shut her mouth, but her gaze toward Ye Yuwan was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. She thought to herself, "Hmph! Ye Yuwan, you're really fortunate to have caught the eye of Young Master Raul."
"Why is it him?" When Ye Yuwan saw Raul at the entrance of the studio, her eyebrows furrowed, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"What? You know him?" Jiang Chen glanced at Raul and looked at Ye Yuwan with concern.
Ye Yuwan, with a look of disdain, said, "The young master from the Xi'er Family in Ross City, he keeps bothering me. Just a few days ago, he confessed to me, and I turned him down!"
"Oh? The Xi'er Family?" Jiang Chen was surprised for a moment, looked at Raul, then at Li Sa and Frank, and his eyes slightly narrowed.
He and Sa Li happened to encounter Ye Yuwan being troubled, which seemed purely coincidental. Was Raul's appearance here also just a coincidence?
"Miss Sa Li, you must stand up for me! That vile Ye Yuwan had someone hit me, you must take action for me!" Upon seeing Sa Li, Frank's face changed slightly, gave Raul a glance, and hurriedly ran to Sa Li, complaining indignantly.
"Miss Sa Li, Ye Yuwan is arrogant and overbearing in the crew, she bullies everyone here, you absolutely must not let her go!" Li Sa also ran to Sa Li, seemingly unintentionally blocking her way.
When Raul saw Sa Li was there, his expression changed drastically, and seeing Sa Li blocked, he suddenly rushed toward Ye Yuwan and Jiang Chen.
"Miss Ye, are you alright?" Arriving next to Jiang Chen and Ye Yuwan, Raul completely ignored Jiang Chen's presence, looking at Ye Yuwan with concern.
Ye Yuwan did not respond to Raul, instead, she reached out and took Jiang Chen's arm.
Raul's expression changed, he turned to Jiang Chen and said somberly, "Sir, please let go of Miss Ye, you're not worthy of her!"
Using the same disregard, Jiang Chen ignored Raul and turned to the blocked Sa Li, "Miss Sa Li, I think, I need an explanation!"
"You need an explanation? Who do you think you are? You hit Director Frank, we're going to sue you! We'll sue Ye Yuwan too!" Li Sa turned around and shouted righteously at Jiang Chen.
"Exactly, you dare to hit someone in a film crew invested by the Anderson Family, you're simply disrespecting the Anderson Family!" Frank, more of a smooth operator than Li Sa, immediately put a big accusation on Jiang Chen!
"Looking down on the Anderson Family? How arrogant! If you look down on the Anderson Family, then who might you be? What right do you have to look down on them?" Raul sarcastically interjected as if Jiang Chen truly despised the Anderson Family.
"Enough!"
At that moment, Sa Li spoke coldly.
Afterward, she glanced at Li Sa, Frank, and Raul, then turned to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry for what your fiancée has gone through. Please allow me to handle this matter!"
"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded slightly, pulling Yè Yùwǎn aside, not caring about Li Sa and the others anymore. The two spoke softly, sharing personal words.
"What's happening?!"
"Why is Miss Sa Li treating that man with so much respect?!"
"Damn! Li Sa and Frank are going to have bad luck!"
"Yes, that man is clearly Miss Sa Li's honored guest!"
The crew members immediately changed their expressions upon seeing Sa Li's attitude towards Jiang Chen, and they began whispering among themselves.
Li Sa and Frank both turned pale, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.
Although they were directing and playing the lead role in the film city of Flower Film City, they were not first-tier stars of Flower Film City; they were merely the director and leading actress of this crew. By status, they were only second-tier in the ranks of Flower Film City, barely considered permanent staff!
"Director Frank, your professionalism disgusts me. You may leave now!" Sa Li looked up at Frank and spoke coldly.
Frank's face turned drastically, he hurriedly said, "Miss Sa Li, you can't fire me! I completely understand this play, firing me will delay the filming. You would have to reshoot from the beginning, and your losses will be huge!"
This was Frank's trump card. The movie had been filming for a month, and one-third of it was done. If they had to reshoot, the investors would face a huge financial loss, which is the least likely scenario in the capitalist country of Northern Confederation!
"I want to start shooting from the beginning!"
Sa Li spoke sternly, "Li Sa, you are an artist under contract with the company. I won't fire you because you haven't yet earned back the money the company has invested in you. But listen carefully, if you dare disrespect Miss Yè again, I will make you understand that the company can lift you up as well as smash you to pieces. You're just a second-tier actress in Flower Film City, not yet qualified to bargain with the company!"
Sa Li's words were harsh but effective. When an artist reached the top in some aspect, they might have the right to challenge their agency, but clearly, Li Sa wasn't qualified yet.
"Miss Sa Li, this is Yè Yùwǎn's fault. Why should I be punished?" Li Sa, with a glance at Raul from the corner of her eye, spoke defiantly.
"Li Sa, I'm not discussing this with you. You should know very well who's right and who's wrong. Now, you're no longer the lead female, but the supporting lead. Miss Yè Yùwǎn will take the lead female role, and we'll reshoot the entire film!" Sa Li glared coldly at Li Sa.
Li Sa's face changed dramatically, she turned her head and looked at Raul eagerly, while Frank also looked at Raul with expectation.
This film was a major production shot by the Anderson Family, which had never produced a classic movie. This time, they invested heavily in buying the copyright of the screenplay from a world-renowned screenwriter, hoping to create a film that would be known worldwide.
Being the director and lead female in this film was the brightest moment in both Frank's and Li Sa's lives, but now, they were about to lose their glory, their hearts tightened in unison.
"Miss Sa Li, isn't this decision a bit reckless? Reshooting the movie will cost the Anderson Family at least thirty billion!"
Raul spoke with a pained expression, "Frank and the others bullying Miss Yè was indeed a bit too much. Disciplining them is one thing, but is reshooting necessary? Wouldn't that mean the Anderson Family has to pay for their mistakes?"
Sa Li slightly furrowed her brows and remained silent.
Raul's words struck a sensitive point.
Sa Li was suddenly in a difficult position.
