The Man wanted to ask Lu Mian more questions, but beneath Lu Mian’s terrifying aura, he did not dare to come any closer. By the time he reacted, Lu Mian had already pulled Jiang Zhi into the car.
The car roared. Lu Mian drove the car like it was flying through traffic. He did not send Jiang Zhi back to the company. Instead, he drove all the way out of the city to a beach.
He let go of the steering wheel and suddenly pulled Jiang Zhi into his arms. His deep eyes stared at her as if he wanted to see through her. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, “What did you mean by that?”.
“What do you mean I’m joking? Am I not your male lead?”
Jiang Zhi looked at the possessiveness in Lu Mian’s eyes and touched his face to comfort him. “Of course not… I just don’t want him to misunderstand and make things worse.”
“Misunderstand what? Am I misunderstanding you?”
His thin lips found her cherry lips and sucked on them as if he was taking revenge, as if he wanted to swallow her whole into his lust.
Although he knew what she meant by her explanation, he did not like the feeling of sneaking around like this. This made him very… uneasy.
“Hmm…” Jiang Zhi could not help but moan. He did not know if she was rejecting him or encouraging him to meet her. For a moment, the temperature in the car gradually rose.
The car slowly began to shake. The waves outside the car roared, covering up the uncontrollable moaning inside the car.
Soon, the event for “The Afterlife”, which was personally hosted by Director Zheng, ended.
Jiang Zhi, Director Zheng and the official blog of “The Afterlife” announced that the casting event had come to a successful end. The news that the movie was about to start shooting attracted a lot of attention at first, but gradually, the negative comments from before started to surface again.
Most of them said that the main character was not qualified, and the other actors were all rookies.
Yan Zhang looked at the blog that was filled with negative comments and became smug again. @Jiang Zhi.
[@Jiang Zhi: Director Jiang, as an old friend, I have to remind you that you can’t ignore everyone’s opinions. The mob will pull you down to the ground and tear you apart.]
In an instant, this blog post was retweeted by all the big names. In addition to the traffic, they also made all kinds of seemingly professional comments on the script, actors, and topics of “The Afterlife,” but in fact, they were ridiculing it.
Jiang Zhi looked at these monsters coldly and did not hold back. She turned around and reported them, saying that they were maliciously slandering her and creating rumors.
She had established herself, and they still wanted to exploit her? Impossible!
Then, she posted a post on her official blog.
[I know of an entertainment company that claims to be an old-timer. They spent more than a billion on an artist under their company to shoot a movie and shoot an advertisement. In the end, they lost all their money and did not earn a single cent. How pitiful.]
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, the netizens immediately thought of Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu’s previous movie had failed at the box office. In addition, she had lost a lot of endorsements. Who else could this Weibo post be referring to but Jiang Lu?
Another wave of comments appeared on the Internet. They calculated the amount of money Swallowtail had lost on Jiang Lu bit by bit. This attracted everyone to become Swallowtail’s accountant and calculated the amount of money the company had lost over the past few days, the accurate figure was no less than two billion.
The man behind Swallowtail was so angry that his chest hurt. After he came out of the hospital, he went straight to Jiang Lu’s villa and started smashing things as soon as he entered.
“You trash, a jinx. How come when I get involved with you, nothing good happens!
“Didn’t you say that you’re better than your sister? I’ve spent more than a billion on you and didn’t get a single cent back. You’re worse than trash!”
Jiang Lu’s face turned purple from the scolding. She could not understand why she had been so unlucky recently.
“It’s all that b*tch Jiang Zhi’s fault. It’s all her fault that we’re so unlucky!”
“Don’t you dare mention her again!” When Yan Zhang heard Jiang Zhi’s name, he was so angry that he gave Jiang Lu a slap. “That b*tch’s movie is going to be filmed soon. If this movie becomes popular in the future, she’ll only grow ever cockier!”
Jiang Lu was beaten until she saw stars. It took her a long time to recover. Her hatred for Jiang Zhi grew even more intense!
She thought for a moment, and suddenly, a trace of malice flashed in her eyes.
“Brother Yan Zhang, don’t be angry. Why don’t we find someone to sabotage that b*tch’s production team? When their movie fails to live up, they will definitely have to pay a large sum of money!”
When Yan Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up. He could not help but pat Jiang Lu’s face and his voice softened.. “Okay, that’s a good idea!”
