Chapter 72 Coming to the Door
After dawn, Liu Chun sat up in bed with a groggy head, then walked out of the bedroom, greeted Pang Wenke who was already sitting on the sofa, and sat down in front of him.
"I'm back?"
Pang Wenke nodded: "Luckily I arrived early last night, otherwise you might have been torn apart and killed by some unknown monster. Brother Liu, do you remember what happened before?"
"Not very clear!" Liu Chun said truthfully, and now whenever he wanted to seriously recall something, he had to rest well first.
After a few seconds of silence, Liu Chun quickly said, "Remember those terrifying 'antique' boxes?"
Pang Wenke nodded and then asked, "However, I don't know where these boxes are now. In order to fulfill some kind of agreement, the organization gave all the boxes it obtained to Si Huajin, and they must have a lot of boxes around them. As for the exact number, no one in our organization knows."
"I think Hai Xuan should have at least two 'antique' boxes. Just last night, I encountered a new mutated monster. It was hiding inside Hai Xuan's body, but Hai Xuan was perfectly fine."
Liu Chun explained, wolfing down the breakfast that Pang Wenke had prepared earlier, not caring whether it was hot or not, as long as he could eat his fill.
New 'antique' boxes have appeared? And this time there's more than one… Pang Wenke, who had stood up, sat down again, asking uncertainly, "How many boxes are there exactly?"
Liu Chun thought he had misheard, but he still replied, "Two...two?"
"Two?"
Without hesitation, Pang Wenke immediately took out his phone and reported the matter to the organization, instructing them to send someone to keep an eye on Hai Xuan and take the box away as soon as they had the chance, ensuring it was not left to them.
Soon after, Pang Wenke said to Liu Chun, "Brother Liu's friend is quite extraordinary. He's not only involved in the demonization of children, but he's also been favored by Si Huajin, who has brought him into her inner circle and is now controlling many things."
"I understand." Liu Chun didn't care at all, because Hai Xuan was just the original owner's friend, and had even set a trap for the original owner before. It was already good enough that he didn't kill him in a fit of anger.
Of course, it's not to say that all friends are bad, but rather that Liu Chun will judge based on his current judgment. If a friend is good, he will naturally keep them... However, based on his past behavior, he doesn't have many truly respectable friends around him.
Afterwards, Liu Chun told everyone she knew the information, and then went to the film set to start filming.
This time, because he wasn't even on set, some actors actually tried to buy his role out of the market and let someone else play it.
Moreover, there are many people and opinions within the production crew, and many of them have already accepted this situation deep down.
"Brother Liu, aren't these people going too far?" Pang Wenke angrily spoke up for him, because from his perspective, if Liu Chun didn't make money, then he wouldn't make money either.
Director Jiang Wei told him to calm down first, and then explained, "After questioning them, I found out that some people were indeed paid by the other party to join in the commotion, and I have already taught them a lesson."
At the same time, Director Fuwei ran towards the three of them with a worried look on his face, and directly showed them the documents in his hand and explained: "It's bad, our investors, for some reason, have agreed to the replacement of the actors, and the whole series will be remade next."
Liu Chun took the document and looked at it. It had the autographs of many investors. The actor who would replace Liu Chun in the role of "Yu Zecheng" was named Qiu Dabao. He was a newly debuted actor with a blank resume, meaning he had no acting experience before.
"No way? This kind of person wants to replace my Brother Liu? I think these investors are blind."
Although only Pang Wenke said this directly, it was only at this time that he said it.
As for Liu Chun and the other two, they were actually very clear in their hearts that Qiu Dabao had used some means to make the investors who had always admired Liu Chun change their minds.
"What about the new actor Qiu Dabao? Has he come to the set?" Liu Chun asked, looking up at the same time.
Director Fowler quickly explained to him, "He arrived a long time ago and is currently touching up his makeup on set. He'll be able to replace you today."
"It's okay, I'll go find the investors and ask them what they really want."
Jiang Wei and Fu Wei both said at the same time, "We won't be idle either; we'll try our best to prevent them from starting work. When it comes to acting skills, we only admire you!"
Liu Chun stopped and looked at them: "Thank you!"
Before they could get in the car, Hai Xuan led several burly men over. They had been patiently waiting by Liu Chun's car for a long time, and they were very pleased to see the two of them running over anxiously.
"Let's go! We need to hurry."
Haixuan spoke before they even got on the bus.
"Brother Liu, oh Brother Liu, the filming isn't even finished yet, where are you thinking of going?"
Upon noticing Hai Xuan, Liu Chun looked at her with disdain, raising an eyebrow and asking, "What are you doing here?"
Hai Xuan said proudly, "My new actor has successfully landed the lead role for the first time, and as his boss, of course I came to take a good look."
"Your actress?" Liu Chun frowned, quickly realizing this possibility. After all, Hai Xuan had Si Huajin's backing, and only they would do something so annoying.
"That's right! I told him that a person should have lofty ambitions, so he found me this male lead role." After laughing, Hai Xuan leaned close to Liu Chun's ear: "Brother Liu, you're not going to be doing bit parts like before, are you? Do you want me to add a few shots of your back?"
"No need, thank you." Liu Chun suppressed her anger and glared at Hai Xuan. "You clearly know that this role was originally meant for me, and now you're letting someone else come and snatch it away. Is that fun?"
Hai Xuan scoffed at this: "Brother Liu, you can't say that. Everyone got their roles based on their own abilities. It's called meritocracy, that's the market. There's no question of who's stealing whom."
Beside him, Pang Wenke angrily questioned, "Do you really think a new actor can have acting skills as good as my Brother Liu? He's the male lead right off the bat, what makes him so special?"
"That's genius!" Hai Xuan patted Liu Chun on the shoulder: "If you're willing to change your minds, I can let you show your face in front of the camera, it's okay."
After Hai Xuan and her group walked away arrogantly, Pang Wenke looked at Liu Chun, who remained silent, and asked, "Brother Liu, they've gone too far. What should we do now?"
Now he has been completely targeted by Si Huajin, the crown prince of the capital. There will be many more troubles like this in the future. If he gives in this time, and then gives in again later, and again and again, will he still be able to make movies?
Reflecting on Liu Yifei's expectations of herself, although Liu Chun was not actually a real actor, but a genius blessed by the system, he was indeed a capable individual.
Increasingly angry, Liu Chun looked at Pang Wenke and said, "I'm not leaving. I want to go in and see what kind of acting skills this new actor has. He stole my male lead role as soon as he arrived. I'm not satisfied. I have to take this role back."
Pang Wenke was indignant as he listened: "That's exactly what I've been waiting for."
So they turned and walked towards the film crew, ready to see Qiu Dabo's abilities.
