Chapter 13 Your company can't afford to offend.

"Why?"

Xu Xia quickly found the producer and asked, "Didn't I say that all of Shen Zhiyi's scenes should be deleted? How come it became an addition?"

The company invested in this script specifically for her, so that she could have a smooth transition to an actor. The role and the script are centered around her. How dare they change the script at will without paying attention to her opinion?
Producer: "Haven't you received any notice yet? The primary investor has been changed to Songjian Media, and the script changes were requested by them."

This drama is a big production with a budget of over 100 million yuan. In order to attract investors, we naturally have to follow their requirements. Previously, Sheng Tang was the first investor, so the producer listened to Xu Xia's opinions on everything. But now that the first investor has changed to another company, Xu Xia's words are naturally not important.

"Changed?"

Xu Xia couldn't believe it. "How can the investor change it just like that?"

"That's Songjian Media, which holds 80% of the shares."

The producer said impatiently, "You guys in Sheng Tang can't afford to offend us, you know that?"

In terms of status, Songjian Media is a veteran entertainment company backed by the Pei family, and has a very high say in the entire entertainment industry. In terms of investment, they have invested 80%, which is like sprinkling water. Can the prosperous Tang Dynasty compare with it?

Just for Xu Xia, Sheng Tang dared to offend Pei? Sheng Tang was willing to spend so much money?
Xu Xia's face turned pale and blue. She understood the reason, but when she thought that the person who benefited this time was Shen Zhiyi, she was so jealous that she wanted to go crazy.

For seven years, Shen Zhiyi has been chased and scolded by black fans, and her resources are terrible. How come she is suddenly involved with Songjian Media?
"Xia Xia, what did the producer say?"

Huo Heng was waiting for Xu Xia outside. He was also very curious about the reason why the script was changed.

Xu Xia repeated what the producer said, his eyes reddened with grievance, "Brother Huo, this is my debut work as an actor, how can they change it without permission and delete a lot of my scenes?"

"Did Songjian Media ask for it?" Huo Heng couldn't understand. Everything was fine, so why did the investor change it and the script change it? "Brother Huo," Xu Xia whispered, "Could it be Sister Zhiyi—"

Huo Heng immediately thought of the two Rolls-Royces he saw in the community. Could it be that the person behind Shen Zhiyi is from Songjian Media?

"Perhaps," Huo Heng said with a complicated expression, "Since the investor has changed, we have no other choice. But fortunately, your leading female role has not been snatched away. I'm sorry to have to put up with you for now."

Xu Xia bit her lip and lowered her head, her eyes grim.

The controversy over the script changes soon passed, and all the scenes this afternoon focused on the rivalry between Shen Zhiyi and Huo Heng. This couple who had broken up are now filming in the same crew again, which is very imaginative. Many paparazzi sneaked in to take photos of them together, and there was a lot of discussion within the crew, but the focus was a bit off.

"Did Huo Heng miss the point here? His expression looks weird."

"...Yes, he was obviously stunned for a moment just now."

"From this perspective, Shen Zhiyi's acting is much more natural than Huo Heng's. Huo Heng's face looks a little crooked on the surveillance screen."

The onlookers all felt it, and Huo Heng naturally noticed it too. While the director was watching the previous take, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you deliberately suppressing the scene?"

Shen Zhiyi was speechless, "It's your own bad acting skills."

Huo Heng wanted to say something else, but the director had already told everyone to call it a day.

"Huo Heng, Xu Xia, and Shen Zhiyi, you stay here and come with me to meet the new investor tonight."
