Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 210 Anger

"Apologize? I'll apologize to your mother!"

Having been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years, Huang Gou has always been arrogant and domineering, relying on his connections. Now, surrounded by a crowd, he is even more enraged.

"She started it, everyone saw it! A girl from mainland China, daring to act so wildly here?"

The situation reached a stalemate, with a tense atmosphere.

Director Chen Musheng is in a real bind. With this incident on set, if he doesn't handle it properly, halting filming would be the least of his worries.

If Dawn investigates, this film could very well be canceled.

As a director who wanted to move north, how could he not understand the status of Chenxi in mainland China?

It's no exaggeration to say that Chenxi is the leading film and television company in mainland China, as it controls nearly 20% of the cinema chains.

If Chen Xi gets angry, even if his film is finished, it probably won't be able to enter the mainland market.

Chen Musheng suppressed his irritation and walked up to the yellow dog with a sullen face.

"Yellow Dog, apologize to Miss Yang right now!"

Then leave my production crew; we'll find other actors to reshoot your scenes.

The yellow dog widened its eyes and took a step forward.

"Let me apologize!"

Are you trying to kick me out?

When I was filming in Hong Kong, she didn't even know where she was!

Before Huang Gou could finish speaking, Principal Gu stepped forward and pressed down on his shoulder with a cold expression.

"This is not a place for you to run wild."

Apologize."

The crew members around them whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction towards the yellow dog.

The yellow dog looked around and, finding no one to speak up for him, his face grew even uglier.

He abruptly shook off Principal Gu's hand and pointed at Chen Musheng's nose, cursing.

"Fine, so you're all siding with this mainland girl and bullying your own people, huh? Fine, I'm not filming this anymore!"

The yellow dog spat and glared fiercely at Yang Rong.

"You just wait!"

After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked away.

The scene was completely silent.

Chen Musheng rubbed his temples and turned to Yang Rong apologetically.

"Ms. Yang, I am so sorry, it was my poor management."

Your face...should we go to the hospital to get it checked out first?

Lin Ruo gently stroked Yang Rong's swollen cheek with heartache, her tone resolute.

"Director, this matter cannot be left unresolved."

"Huang Gou must issue a public apology, otherwise Chenxi will consider withdrawing its investment and taking legal action."

Her words made the atmosphere even more somber.

Chen Musheng broke out in a cold sweat and quickly made a promise.

"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Filming will be paused for today; everyone should rest and recuperate.

News of what happened on the set of "Connected" spread quickly after filming was suspended.

Yang Rong's agent was the first to receive the news.

Upon hearing Lin Ruo's report, she immediately went to find Lin Wei.

Lin Wei's face darkened instantly after hearing the report.

"The company will handle this matter seriously. Yang Rong should rest well in the hotel for the next few days and not make any public appearances for the time being."

Lin Wei reported this to her superiors, and Zhao Qi, upon learning the news, immediately contacted Eagle King.

Eagle King is the main controller of "Keep Talking," and after this incident, he must give Chenxi an explanation.

While Chenxi was handling the incident on the other side of the strait, Hong Kong media had already caught wind of the situation and began to rush to report on it.

The entertainment section was quickly filled with headlines such as "Crew Conflict," "Yellow Dog Sexual Harassment," "Mainland Actress Slapped," and "Yellow Dog Expelled from the Crew," and public opinion quickly escalated.

Hong Kong netizens are discussing the issue extensively. Some criticize the mainland actor for his low character, while others use the opportunity to incite regional antagonism, claiming that the mainland actor is "acting like a diva" and "sensitive."

The Witch production team.

"Cut, this one's passed."

The makeup artist is touching up the makeup.

Fu Yibai sat behind the monitor, rubbing his temples. Just as he was about to take a sip of water and rest, Guo Zhenni hurriedly came over and reported in a low voice what had happened on the set of "Keep Talking".

He frowned, put down his water glass, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

Fu Yibai placed the walkie-talkie on the chair, stood up, and his face remained expressionless.

But Guo Zhenni, who had been with him for several months, knew that the boss was truly furious.

"Jenny, prepare the car."

"Yes."

Guo Zhenni turned and ran out of the film set, taking out her phone to contact the driver as she ran.

Yang Mi had just finished touching up her makeup and stood up from the makeup chair when she noticed that Fu Yibai's expression was off, so she walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Yang Rong was beaten, I'm going to handle this."

Let's stop filming here for today.

Fu Yibai gave a brief explanation and immediately notified the crew to take a break.

After saying that, he walked out.

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment and wanted to follow, but Guo Zhenni stopped her.

"Mimi, you should go back to the hotel and rest first."

She hasn't removed her makeup yet.

Yang Mi glanced at the blood on her body and knew that she was indeed not suitable to go in this state. She could only nod and watch Fu Yibai's hurried departure.

The car sped along, and Fu Yibai sat in the back seat, his face gloomy as he watched the street scene rushing past the window.

He dialed Zhao Qi's number, his voice icy.

What's the situation with Yang Rong?

Why didn't anyone notify me?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu."

We are already handling this matter.

So I thought I wouldn't bother you.

Eagle King said he was willing to cooperate with all our requests and hoped it wouldn't affect the relationship between our two families.

The filming locations for "The Witch" and "Connected" are not far apart, because Hong Kong is only so big.

So Fu Yibai quickly arrived at the hotel where the "Connected" crew was staying.
