191 Internal Strife
If Wang Ping could hear Xie Yi’s words, he would probably be speechless and mock him again. With Xie Yi’s style, if he really worked with an artist with Best Actor Ji’s status, he would be floating in the sky.
Thinking about the humble style of Best Actor Ji’s manager, Lin Zi, and comparing it to Xie Yi’s style, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Xie Yi did not know that Wang Ping was dissing him. He laughed dryly and said, “It’s indeed Best Actor Ji. Our Xiang Lei is still a newbie. How can he compare to the seniors? Since Best Actor Ji has joined the show, I don’t think the production team will have to worry anymore. When the time comes, the show will definitely be a huge success.”
In the end, he could not help but feel a little sour and resentful.
Wang Ping didn’t seem to notice his sarcasm. He chuckled and said, “Then I’ll count on your blessings. We’ll work together next time if there’s a chance.”
After the call ended, the nanny van fell silent.
Seeing Xiang Lei’s dark expression, Xie Yi felt uneasy.
Ever since he became popular, Xiang Lei’s career had been smooth sailing. This was the first time he had suffered such a huge blow.
Xie Yi was afraid that he would be too extreme, so he quickly comforted him. “After all, he’s Best Actor Ji. Ordinary people really can’t compare to him. You’ve just become popular, so your reputation will seem smaller. Those people haven’t completely seen your potential, so it’s inevitable that they’re short-sighted. Let’s not argue with them. We’ll continue to be popular. When the time comes, we’ll slap their faces one by one and make them beg us.”
However, Xiang Lei was not a newbie who debuted on his first day. His six to seven years of invisibility had taught him the cruelty of this industry. In addition, he had not been popular for long enough to be completely corroded by the flattery.
Hence, although he also hated those who took advantage of the situation, he would not be appeased by Xie Yi’s words. He threw the thermos flask in his hand into Xie Yi’s arms. “This incident is all your fault. If it weren’t for your mishandling, the contract for this show would have been signed long ago. How would Ji Jun have anything to do with it?”
Xie Yi’s ribs hurt from the impact of the stainless steel thermos. When he thought of how the two of them supported each other in the past and compared it to Xiang Lei’s attitude towards him today, his heart turned cold.
However, it was impossible for him to admit his mistake and take the blame. Hence, he pushed out the publicity girl who had interacted with Wang Ping that day. “Previously, we had no problem communicating with the other partners, but we encountered such a big obstacle on the production team and they declined more than half of our requests. I think that she offended the production team when she communicated with them, so they gave us a hard time.”
After the publicity girl was pushed out, she cried out in grievance. “Isn’t this what you said, Brother Xie? Our Teacher Xiang’s status is no longer the same as before, so he has to put on a higher attitude. Only then will others respect us. What’s more, you were the one who made the list for the production team.”
Xie Yi tried to shirk the responsibility. “Are you that stubborn? Don’t you know how to adapt to the situation? Seeing that the production team’s reactions are not right, you should immediately realize the problem and not argue with them!”
The publicity girl was sent by the company. The company was the one who paid her salary, not Xiang Lei and Xie Yi. Hence, she retorted stubbornly, “You were the one who argued with the production team and said harsh words to the production team. You told them to find other artists! It’s not me. Don’t push everything onto me!”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that you didn’t communicate well with the production team previously, how could the situation have become like this? The production team has already gone this far. It’s obvious that they’re bullying us. If I don’t fight back, others will treat our Xiang Lei as a pushover!” Hence, Xie Yi felt that he didn’t do anything wrong. As a manager, he was protecting the rights and interests of his artist.
The publicity girl sneered. “In the end, Teacher Xiang lost a good project and even lost face!”
“Enough! What’s the use of arguing so much now!” The publicity girl’s words directly hit Xiang Lei’s heart. Compared to losing a project, Xiang Lei was indeed more indignant about losing face.
He was already famous. He had so many fans and so many business activities. Why did he still have to suffer?
Xiang Lei glared at the publicity girl and was burning with anger. “You’re so sharp-tongued when it comes to quarreling. Why don’t I see you doing things so well? I’ll report this matter to the company. Since you can’t do this job, let someone else do it.”
As for Xie Yi, although he was indeed a little inappropriate this time, he had been by his side for many years. Hence, although Xiang Lei was angry with him, he could not bear to punish him.
