My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 740: He Is the Most Terrifying One

"Jin Meizhen, watch your attitude!"

Yang Leshan had a stern face, "We've already entered the normal filming phase, and you're still making unreasonable trouble. Does this make sense?"

Hmph!

Jin Meizhen let out a cold snort, "You deceived me from the start. You never told me that Ling Xiaoxiao's studio was one of the producers."

Yang Leshan sneered, "Jin Meizhen, don't you find your words utterly ridiculous and laughable?"

"You're just here to shoot a film as per the agreement. Why do I need to inform you about who the producers are?"

"According to your demands, we've made the greatest concessions, and even Ling Xiaoxiao is performing without a fee. What else are you unsatisfied with?"

"As for Ling Xiaoxiao's studio being one of the producers, what does it have to do with you? This is an internal matter of our company, and you have no right to interfere!"

"Fine, if you say so, then I won't act in this film anymore." Jin Meizhen started acting like a diva, ready to walk off the set.

At this point, Yang Leshan had no more reservations and sneered disdainfully, "You can quit; that's your right, but we must act according to the contract."

"You need to pay three times the penalty, which is 120 million! Considering you once reduced your pay to act, we can be lenient; you only need to pay 114 million."

"Additionally, we will immediately hold a press conference to publicly explain why you are abandoning the film. Whatever loss it brings you will be due to your own actions and has nothing to do with us."

"You..."

Jin Meizhen glared angrily at Yang Leshan, feeling trapped.

Paying over 100 million just in penalties was enough to make her miserable.

It's not that she couldn't afford it, but she was simply unwilling.

It's too costly!

Moreover, once this matter is exposed, it might ruin her reputation.

But things have blown to this extent. If she backs down now, it would mean she's admitting defeat and can't save face.

She has to find a way out for herself and maybe negotiate some benefits.

"Hmph, I'll ask Patriarch Li for an explanation and have him intervene with you." Jin Meizhen snorted lightly.

Chen Xuan laughed dismissively, "Even if you approach Patriarch Li, it won't change the facts."

"It's none of your business, driver. What are you?"

Jin Meizhen cast a disdainful glance at Chen Xuan and turned to leave the set.

"What a character, really thinking she's a big star, throwing tantrums like that."

"We might as well not use her, and replace her directly!"

Yang Leshan was displeased, finding Jin Meizhen's behavior quite distasteful.

Chen Xuan lit a cigarette, "Do we have a suitable replacement? We can't delay the filming process; otherwise, we might miss this year's Spring Festival slot."

"We can have Liu Wei replace Jin Meizhen. Although Liu Wei's acting skills are slightly inferior to Jin Meizhen's, it won't significantly impact."

Yang Leshan said breathlessly.

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "I don't think that's the right approach; it's a sacrifice for Liu Wei."

"According to the script, arranging for Liu Wei to play the first female antagonist is a very bold attempt."

"If Liu Wei can perform well in this role, it would broaden her range and earn her more acclaim. From a long-term perspective, it's very beneficial to Liu Wei's development."

"Yes, Wanxi and I considered this, and that's why we had Liu Wei play the antagonist. It subverts the audience's original perception, allowing them to recognize Liu Wei's merits more comprehensively."

Yang Leshan sighed slightly, "Originally, the pairing of Ling Xiaoxiao and Jin Meizhen as dual female leads, with Liu Wei as the main female antagonist, had plenty of buzz and was highly anticipated."

"I just didn't expect Jin Meizhen to have so many issues, repeatedly throwing star fits!"

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, "There's no need for impulsive actions, which would be at odds with the box office performance."

"Leave it to me; I'll stabilize Jin Meizhen first and ensure she finishes filming this movie successfully."

"Whether we continue to cooperate with her in the future is not for her to decide; it depends on our decision."

"Alright, I'll go with your plan." Yang Leshan didn't say more.

Meanwhile.

Jin Meizhen, carrying her grievances, went directly to find Patriarch Li.

"Patriarch Li, you invited me over to discuss filming with New Moon Entertainment Company."

"Now that there's a problem, you must step forward to speak for me and get an explanation."

"Is there a problem?" Li Zhaoguang asked in surprise.

Hmph!

Jin Meizhen snorted lightly and summarized the situation, deliberately portraying herself as the wronged party.

Li Zhaoguang smiled bitterly, "Miss Jin, we've been old friends, and in principle, I should speak for you."

"But in this matter, I truly can't take charge."

"What do you mean?" Jin Meizhen looked at him, "Are you, Patriarch Li, actually afraid of Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan? That makes no sense!"

Hehehe...

Li Zhaoguang waved with a smile, "Miss Jin, you really don't know the situation here."

"Let me put it this way, Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan are not intimidating; I won't regard those two young girls seriously."

"But Mr. Chen must be taken seriously! He's the truly frightening one!"
