Chapter 119 You've been fired
Lin Feng hadn't been with a woman in a long time. He gave Yang Mi a good beating last night, and he was exhausted. His legs were even a little weak the next day.
Yang Mi, however, asked with great enthusiasm, "Lin Feng, do you have any other work commitments? I'm about to return to the 'Swords of Legends' set. Are you coming back with me?"
"I still have two more days. I have two more events to attend and I need to deal with the copyright issues for 'Love is Not Blind.' Once I'm done with those things, I can go back. If I don't have anything else to do then, I'll head back."
Lin Feng prefers to work in a structured way. When filming a movie, he focuses on filming a movie; when filming a TV series, he focuses on filming a TV series; when attending events, he focuses on attending events. He doesn't like to randomly participate in events during filming, as this is not good for the crew and also affects his own filming performance.
"I think if it's not something very important, you'd better go back. That producer from H&R Century Pictures, Jia Nailiang, is very domineering on set; he's adding scenes a bit recklessly!"
"Why is he adding scenes like this? Didn't director Lin Yufen say anything to me?!"
"Jia Nailiang is a star producer and the representative of H&R Century Pictures. He even said that this is because he has your approval, so who else dares to interfere!"
"Jia Nailiang did approach me before, but I didn't listen carefully. I did tell him that as long as the script wasn't changed and it was good for the character development, adding a little bit of screen time was acceptable. How come he added so much?"
"He's added way too many scenes; I think his screen time is almost as much as yours, the male lead!"
"That Jia Nailiang is really making a mountain out of a molehill! It's alright, you go back first, I'll go back in a couple of days, it's not too late. In the end, we can just cut out all the unreasonable scenes he added!"
Lin Feng didn't take Jia Nailiang seriously. Even if you add more, what's the point if the final editing cuts it all out?
At this point, Yang Mi added fuel to the fire, saying, "I forgot to tell you, Jia Nailiang wanted to add a kissing scene for Deng Shuang, but Deng Shuang refused on the spot!"
"What? How dare he do that!" Lin Feng stood up abruptly, his expression somewhat ferocious.
Fan Binbin and Yang Mi are true professional actors and can film kissing scenes, but Deng Shuang never films kissing scenes or other intimate scenes with outsiders. If she were to film such scenes, it would only be with Lin Feng. This is a matter of her principle.
At the same time, this is what Lin Feng likes most about Deng Shuang. She knows that not filming kissing scenes will affect her chances of getting roles, but she still chooses to do so. Her whole heart belongs to Lin Feng, and she will not have any intimate contact with other men.
As for Lin Feng himself, he often filmed intimate scenes with other actresses, and even had so many women outside. Sometimes he felt that he was indeed quite a bastard.
Now that someone dared to bully his Deng Shuang, Lin Feng was furious. "Tell me the details!"
Yang Mi was completely taken aback. She had known Lin Feng for so long and had never seen him so furious before. It was as if nothing mattered to him. Even when Jia Nailiang casually added scenes, he didn't react much. But when he heard about Deng Shuang, Lin Feng flew into a rage. This kind of "anger for a beauty" made Yang Mi's heart flutter. However, when she thought that Lin Feng was angry because of Deng Shuang, she was secretly saddened. Sure enough, in Lin Feng's heart, Deng Shuang was his Achilles' heel!
"It wasn't anything serious. It was just that during filming that day, Jia Nailiang saw it and casually remarked that adding a kissing scene here, given the atmosphere, would be even better." Deng Shuang immediately refused, and Jia Nailiang even said that Deng Shuang was unprofessional, refusing to film this or that.
Did Deng Shuang call him a couple of days ago and say she missed him? At the time, Lin Feng just thought Deng Shuang missed him and didn't think too much about it. Now that he thinks about it, he guesses she must have been wronged! But she didn't say anything.
Lin Feng said he would protect Deng Shuang, but now she's being bullied right under his nose. Besides, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was his project!
"Let's go! We're going back to the 'Swords of Legends' set right now." Increasingly angry, Lin Feng turned and left. On the way, he called Hu Shan. "Sister Hu Shan, I have something important to do back at the 'Swords of Legends' set. How about we cancel those two events for now and I'll make up for them later? As for the 'Love is Not Blind' movie rights, you can handle it as you see fit. As long as it's at market price, I'll just sign off on it!"
"Okay, Warner isn't in a rush. We're in control now. I trust you. Take your time negotiating. The worst-case scenario is that the script isn't sold, and we won't suffer any losses."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Lin Feng was in a bad mood, Yang Mi, who was standing next to him, wanted to lighten the mood, "Lin Feng, do you still have 'Love is Not Blind'?"
"The film rights to 'The Sky'? I thought you only invested in it. These film rights must be worth a lot of money now!"
"I don't know, but it must be at least tens of millions."
"Then what did you just say about Warner? What script? And what's going on?" Yang Mi was a little curious, but she didn't know which Warner was referring to.
"There are only a few scripts, and nothing has been finalized yet."
"
'
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't want to talk, Yang Mi didn't bother him anymore. She just held Lin Feng's hand and silently stayed with him.
When Lin Feng and his team arrived at the "Swords of Legends" set, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere on set was different; it was unusually oppressive.
As Lin Feng passed by several crew members, he overheard them discussing the film crew's affairs. "What's with that Jia Nailiang being so arrogant? Yesterday's scene clearly didn't include him, but he insisted on adding himself and forcing on a lot of lines, causing many scenes to be reshot!"
"Hey, who says otherwise? If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the male lead. He just adds scenes for himself. We joined 'Swords of Legends' for Lin Feng, not for Jia Nailiang."
"You don't know, do you? Yesterday, while I was packing up the props, I saw Director Lin Yufen and Jia Nailiang arguing. Jia Nailiang even said that Lin Yufen was just a new director and didn't know anything, which really angered Lin Yufen!"
"What's the relationship between this Jia Nailiang and me? He's so arrogant. I see him meddling in everything. There's nothing he doesn't care about."
"He's already a big star, a producer on the production team, and a representative of H&R Century Pictures. Who wouldn't respect him?"
"Where's Lin Feng? Why isn't he here yet! Can't he even handle Jia Nailiang? He clearly doesn't know anything, yet he got involved. Let him put on an act first!"
"Yeah, it's driving me crazy lately. I'm working until 2 or 3 in the morning every night. I've never been this tired on any other film set, and a lot of it is just pointless work."
It seems there are a lot of problems with the production crew! Lin Feng thought about it and understood. Even the female lead, Yang Mi, felt it, so there must be a lot of problems down there. At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly regretted leaving so early. He should have waited until the production crew was running smoothly before leaving, then there probably wouldn't be so many problems.
Lin Feng kept all these things to himself without saying a word. He just wanted to see Deng Shuang. He would only feel at ease if she was alright.
Lin Feng quickly found Deng Shuang in the lounge. Deng Shuang, dressed in a yellow dress, was still as innocent, lively, cute, and charming as ever.
At this point, Yang Mi, being quite sensible, silently chose to leave.
Lin Feng really missed Deng Shuang, so he slowly walked over to her and hugged her tightly.
At first, Deng Shuang was startled. While she was struggling, she smelled a familiar scent, looked up and saw Lin Feng. She stopped moving and quietly lay in Lin Feng's arms, enjoying the embrace.
"Lin Feng, didn't you say you wouldn't join the crew for another two days? Why are you here today?"
"I missed you, so I came." Lin Feng smelled Deng Shuang's scent; it smelled so good and fragrant!
The two of them held each other in silence, quietly enjoying this rare and tender moment.
After a long while, Lin Feng slowly asked, "Xiao Shuang, don't you have anything to tell me? Did someone bully you?"
"No, I'm fine. With you backing me up, who would dare to bully me!" Deng Shuang asked, puzzled.
"Didn't Jia Nailiang bully you and add kissing scenes for you?" Lin Feng asked doubtfully.
"You mean this? I'd forgotten about it if you hadn't asked. You weren't on set these past few days, and that Jia Nailiang has been quite something. He dares to say anything to anyone, and he dares to insult anyone. Nobody likes him."
He did try to add a kissing scene for me a couple of days ago, but I only kiss you, I won't kiss any other stinky men. Besides, I know you're here, so I'm not afraid of him. I didn't argue with him at all, and he was so angry that his face fell. He then took his anger out on the other crew members. Lin Feng, you have to teach him a lesson this time!
After saying that, Deng Shuang sweetly gave Lin Feng a kiss. How could Lin Feng refuse such tempting lips? He gave Deng Shuang a long, wet kiss before letting her go.
"Don't worry! That's why I came. I'm definitely going to teach him a lesson. But why didn't you tell me then? Even if I couldn't come, I could have called!" Lin Feng asked, pretending to be angry.
"It's nothing, I'm fine, and besides, you're so busy outside, I don't want to interfere with your work!" Deng Shuang explained softly.
"You are the most important thing to me. From now on, I order you to report anything to me immediately, including anything that makes you unhappy or happy, everything. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I knew you were the best to me!"
Lin Feng originally wanted to spend more time with Deng Shuang, but as soon as he arrived at the film set, director Lin Yufen came to his door, probably to see him about something.
When Lin Feng saw Lin Yufen again, he could clearly feel that she was a little lacking in confidence, and her face was full of fatigue and listlessness.
"Director Lin, you were so full of confidence at the opening ceremony of 'Swords of Legends,' and you promised me that the filming would follow the script exactly. Look at what you've changed!"
Lin Feng, holding the revised script, directly questioned him. He was genuinely angry; he had painstakingly adapted "Swords of Legends" from so many films and television dramas from his previous life, and now it was completely unrecognizable.
Lin Feng's version of *Gu Jian Qi Tan* = Previous life *Gu Jian Qi Tan* + *Lotus Tower* + *Ashes of Love* +
The combination of "The Untamed" and "Eternal Love" is a case of "discarding the dross and taking the essence"!
Now it's become "discarding the essence and taking the dross," how could Lin Feng not be angry!
"Lin Feng, Jia Nailiang is the producer, and Huanrui Century is behind him. He said that since you agreed to it, there's nothing I can do if I don't change it."
Stage plays are the art of actors, movies are the art of directors, and television dramas are theoretically the art of screenwriters. But nowadays, television dramas should belong to the art of big-name stars. The bigger the star, the more power they have, and they can even bring their own screenwriters to change or add scenes on the spot.
"Although 'Swords of Legends' is your first film or television series as a director, it's not like you haven't filmed before. These changes are clearly problematic. Besides, if there really was a problem, why didn't you call me?"
"I thought you knew all this, so I didn't dare to bother you. Besides, when Chairman Zhong Junyan of Huanrui World came a few days ago, she didn't say anything. I thought it was something you two had planned."
"Alright, let's talk about the details later."
Lin Feng didn't make things difficult for Lin Yufen anymore. To put it bluntly, she was just a high-level employee who couldn't make many decisions. Besides, it was her first time directing a drama, and she hadn't established any authority yet.
Just then, Jia Nailiang arrived. Upon seeing Lin Feng, he said with a beaming smile, "Lin Feng, why didn't you tell me you were coming!"
Jia Nailiang had originally intended to give Lin Feng a big hug, but Lin Feng pushed him away. Sensing something was off, Jia Nailiang quickly asked, "Brother Feng, is something wrong?"
This time, Lin Feng wasn't so polite to Jia Nailiang, directly questioning him: "What did I tell you before I left? My point was that as long as the script isn't changed, and as long as it benefits the characters, adding a little screen time is acceptable. But the premise is that you absolutely cannot arbitrarily change the script. You need to discuss the specifics with director Lin Yufen and get her approval! Did she agree? And you just added things randomly! Does Zhong Junyan know about this?"
"Brother Feng, I'm doing this for the good of the whole show! Giving the second male lead, Ouyang Shaogong, more screen time will make your character, Baili Tusu, more well-rounded!"
Damn it, are you kidding me? This addition is practically turning the second male lead into a "dual male lead" situation! Who's really being highlighted here?! I organized and invested in this "Swords of Legends" series for myself, so you, the second male lead, should be the one starring!
The most crucial thing isn't even that. How dare someone bully his woman in his own film crew! Even if it's just verbal abuse, that's still unacceptable!
Lin Feng stated directly to Jia Nailiang, "You can leave the crew now!"
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that you're fired! You're not allowed to appear in the 'Swords of Legends' production team again. As for your role as the second male lead, someone else will play it."
"Brother Feng, you can't do this! Besides, I'm the producer of this production. And by the way, CEO Zhong from H&R Century Pictures doesn't even know about this yet. Why are you making this decision?!"
"Don't worry, I'll put in a good word with Mr. Zhong from H&R Century Pictures!"
"Fine! Lin Feng, you wait! Let's see who lets me go in the end!"
Just as Lin Feng and Jia Nailiang were talking, the main creative team members, including key staff members, arrived. Lin Feng didn't ignore Jia Nailiang and announced directly, "The entire crew will rest today and resume filming tomorrow. Salaries and benefits will be calculated as normal. All other staff members can leave now, but the director and screenwriter will stay."
