998: Ask You For Help

Ask You For Help

In the end, it was Song Linghua who took the initiative to save Su Yayan from the awkward atmosphere of being chased by a fanatical fan.1

"What are you guys whispering about over there? Tell us too."

Only then did Su Yayan wake up from her dream, she looked at the few of them with a faint smile and said, "I was telling Miss Xia about the drama that we are currently broadcasting. I saw that the online reviews of this drama are very good, and the viewership is also very high. It's all thanks to you, Director Luo, Miss Xia, and the rest of the crew."

When Luo Baogeng heard Su Yayan praise their drama for being well-filmed, his expression was a little smug. However, he said, "It's mainly because your company's investment is in place. After spending so much money, it's not out of the ordinary to produce such a good drama."

"Director Luo is too modest. Nowadays, it's really not possible to produce a good show just by spending money. Not to mention, the lousy production team next door has spent as much money as our show. What happened in the end? Look at how many people on the internet are commenting about them. It's because they don't have good directors and consultants like you and Auntie Song. No matter how good the actors are, no matter how good the script is, it will be ruined."

If one had to say that Prima Donna had received a lot of good ratings recently, the person who regretted it the most was Pan You'an, who had originally been invited by East City to direct the show and then terminated his contract to join Hai Yi.

Pan You'an had initially verbally agreed to direct Prima Donna, but before he signed the contract, he had jumped ship to Hai Yi and announced that he would direct Empress, openly helping Hai Yi stab East City.

In fact, the reason why he was willing to jump ship was very simple. Compared to East City, Hai Yi gave him more compensation, more promises, and more generous treatment.

However, after he joined the crew, he realized that he had been tricked.

Hai Yi had indeed given him more compensation, but in exchange, the company had stripped him of most of his rights as a director.

They were both major productions in ancient costumes, but East City did not choose the crew. The scriptwriters would often interfere with the adaptation of the storyline and even the replacement of the actors.

Most of the power in the crew was given to Luo Baogeng, giving him the greatest trust. Hai Yi was different. From casting to the addition and subtraction of the storyline, and even some friction during the filming process, the director had almost no right to speak.

The final result was that the shoot was a total disaster. The show was not filmed well, the ratings were not good, and many of Hai Yi's empty promises could not be fulfilled.

In addition, to trample over East City, Hai Yi had publicized the matter of him directing Empress to everyone. Outsiders did not understand, but insiders could see through it at a glance.

If he had filmed the drama well, it would have been fine. After all, in this industry, the higher you were, the lower you were. As long as you stood tall, your character was secondary.

However, the truth was that he had messed up.

He had lost his face. One could imagine what the future would hold for him.

"Alright, Alright. The two of you should stop bragging about work." Song Linghua could not stand the two of them bragging to each other. She tugged at her husband and glared at him, "Let's get down to business."

"Right, right, right, let's talk about serious business." Luo Baogeng, who was glared at by his wife, also remembered the purpose of his visit today. He coughed lightly and said, "Little Su, we came here today because we have something to ask you for help."

"What is it?"

"It's like this, these two are old friends of ours for many years." Song Linghua pointed at the two elders who were about the same age as them and introduced them, "A junior in their family had an accident two years ago and was injured. We happened to hear some things and thought that you might be able to help her. That's why..."
