Normally, Xu Feifei would have been happy to interact with them.
But this shoot for "Cloud Sea Jade Bow Romance" was very important, directly determining whether she could win an award. Naturally, she wouldn't dare cause too much of a stir, lest it affect the filming.
As soon as her agent opened her phone, a call came in.
The caller ID showed the president of their management company.
"Sister Wang, whose call is it?" Xu Feifei asked.
"It's President Zhang from our company."
"Oh, it's him!" Xu Feifei grinned, "Let him wait. I'll pick up the next time he calls."
Her agent looked troubled, "Feifei, isn't that not good?"
Xu Feifei said with disgust, "What's not good about it? This Zhang fellow is so greasy, he always summons and dismisses me at will, and he's always groping me in the elevator. I've had enough. I've made it now, and I don't need to be like before. When my contract expires the year after next, I'll leave the company."
The entertainment industry is a naked arena of fame and fortune; everything else is an illusion. Those who can make money are the masters.
Now that her fame was growing, becoming a top star was just around the corner.
She was no longer afraid of this old man named Zhang.
"Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, less than a minute later, the phone rang again.
"Keep letting it ring!"
"But..."
"There's no 'but'. What I say goes," Xu Feifei interrupted her displeasedly.
With no other choice, Agent Wang hung up again.
It wasn't until the third call that Xu Feifei reluctantly answered.
President Zhang on the other end of the line was so angry he was spewing profanities.
That little bitch Xu, I only gave you a little bit of favor, and you've gotten all puffed up. Now you dare not answer my calls.
You've forgotten your roots before your feathers have fully grown. Do you really think you can be arrogant just because you've become a popular star?
Hmph, a "popular actress"? To put it bluntly, she's just a performer, a tool for capital to make money.
As soon as the phone was connected, President Zhang's angry reprimand came through, "Xu Feifei, you, now, immediately, get back to the company!"
Facing President Zhang's fury, Xu Feifei appeared unconcerned, sneering, "President Zhang, summer hasn't even arrived yet, why are you so hot-tempered? I just arrived at Hengdian and am about to go to the set to film. This drama is no ordinary one. If it's filmed smoothly and aired successfully, the returns will be immense."
President Zhang roared, "Film what? I told you to get back to the company, are you deaf? With your looks and your acting skills, you dare to touch the role of Li Shengnan? There are tons of people on Weibo scolding you now, haven't you seen?"
"President Zhang, you, you..."
"What 'you'? No one is allowed to touch the role of Li Shengnan, no one is allowed to play it, and your fans are not allowed to provoke Jiang Ling, or don't blame me for not showing any past affections."
After saying that, President Zhang hung up the phone, his rage undiminished.
Hearing President Zhang's stern words, Xu Feifei couldn't help but freeze.
Not allowing her to play Li Shengnan, and not allowing her to incite her fans to provoke Jiang Ling?
Could it be that all of this was because of Jiang Ling?
How could an artist who had been out of vogue for over a decade possess such terrifying influence?
This was too exaggerated.
While Xu Feifei was stunned, her agent exclaimed, "Oh no, oh no! There are so many people online boycotting you playing Li Shengnan, saying only Jiang Ling can play this role."
Saying that, the agent quickly handed her phone over.
Xu Feifei took it and looked, and her face instantly turned pale.
