Sure enough, as long as Xia Weibao was present, she was the one to be ignored!
How could she not be angry when she could never step out of Xia Weibao’s shadow?
She was going to crush Xia Weibao under her feet for sure!
Of course, with so many pairs of eyes on her, she would not be so foolish to do so herself. That would tarnish her reputation.
So she winked at an actor beside her.
That actor was Lin Mier’s lackey, and immediately understood what she meant.
He raised his chin haughtily and said full of sarcasm, “Why don’t they check on themselves? They’re just a mainstream web-drama crew and they dare to shout at us? ‘The Harem’ is a television drama and will be aired on broadcast, not like some other dramas that will only be broadcast online. And not even on the major websites! What a failure!”
Once these words were said, the expressions of all the crew members of “Fallen City” grew dark.
The broadcast of “Fallen City” was indeed a huge problem for them.
Xia Weibao and Xu Jiayang were both blacklisted by the public.
Netizens had unanimously declared that they would never watch “Fallen City”.
This also meant that no websites were willing to broadcast “Fallen City”.
Everyone knew that. It was just that they were unwilling to think about it until they reached that point.
You could imagine how embarrassing it was now that someone had mentioned it.
The actors who initially already had something against Xia Weibao now directly cast her dirty looks.
If she had not used those underhanded methods to snatch the lead role away from Lin Mier, “Fallen City” would not be banned.
Besides, with Lin Mier’s position in the entertainment industry, even if “Fallen City” did not become a hit, she would still help to generate some interest.
Now, everything was lost.
For many of these small-time actors, this was their first time filming a drama. It had not been easy to secure a role, but because of Xia Weibao, “Fallen City” was banned. And along with it, all the actors too.
And now, they were even being put on the spot by the public.
You could probably understand how they feel.
But no one’s expression was worse than Xu Jiayang.
When he was still at the height of his career and famous in the world of directors, Li Cheng was nothing but an intern. And now, he was slapping him in public?
Seeing Xu Jiayang’s gloomy expression comforted Li Cheng.
Back in the day, there were throngs of people who were jealous and envious of Xu JIayang’s achievements. Li Cheng was one of them.
But Li Cheng had never expected that such a time would come!
“Director Xu, those with VIP cards have priority. If you can present a VIP card, maybe you’ll have priority. But…”
Li Cheng chortled while talking, and there was a glint in his eyes.
“Look, with Director Xu’s financial situation right now, you must have saved up for several months before coming to a five-star bar, right? How could you have a VIP card?”
With that, he slapped Xu Jiayang’s shoulders smugly with his VIP card.
Contempt was written all across his face. “Director Xu, I’m not trying to put you down. But a crew like “Fallen City” that is so poor that they have to make their own props should just find a roadside store or an eatery under the bridge for their gathering. Why try and puff oneself up at one’s own cost and come to such an expensive place? Can you even afford it?”
And there was emphasis on those last few words.
Hearing it caused Xu Jiayang’s face to darken.
It was embarrassing for the “Fallen City” crew members as well.
Just as Xu Jiayang was about to retort, Xia Weibao took a step forward.
WIth a fake smile, she looked at Li Cheng.
“What Director Li is saying is that our ‘Fallen City’ crew indeed has no VIP card. Such a poor crew like us only has a worthless card like this.”
With that, she slammed a Premium VIP card onto the front desk.
