Chapter 31 Disrespect
Chapter 31 Disrespect
Zhang Zeyan really didn't care about this drama. If Ye Mengxi hadn't called him, he wouldn't have even planned to come.
If it were someone else, they might feel they had missed a tremendous opportunity, a chance to become famous.
But for Zhang Zeyan, it was nothing special.
With so many excellent works available on Earth, he has no fear of not having a chance to make a name for himself.
An entertainment company that thinks it can control him based on this is just overthinking things.
"Zhang Zeyan, I know a lot of directors. Let me ask around and see if anyone needs actors," Zheng Xinyao said to Zhang Zeyan over the phone.
"No need, I don't want to film right now. I plan to study at school for two years first," Zhang Zeyan quickly refused.
"Alright then, I'm really sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing," Zheng Xinyao apologized again.
But the next moment, she changed the subject and said, "It's still because you're too handsome. If you weren't so handsome, this role might have been yours."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zeyan was momentarily speechless.
"By the way, when are you going back? I'll take you." Zheng Xinyao said to Zhang Zeyan.
"I'll be going back soon."
Since he didn't pass the audition, he didn't plan to stay there any longer.
It takes about ten hours to fly there, and I can get home tomorrow if I go back tonight.
During those ten-odd hours, he could also take a nap on the aircraft.
"Okay, I'll come and take you there later..."
After they hung up the phone, Zhang Zeyan waited inside the hotel.
On the other side, Zheng Xinyao told her mother that she had something to do and went out for a while before leaving the room.
When she arrived at the elevator, Zheng Xinyao pressed the down button, but after waiting for a long time, the elevator still didn't move.
In this situation, he prepared to take the stairs, since she lived on the third floor.
However, when Zheng Xinyao reached the second-floor stairwell, she suddenly stopped.
She stood at the edge of the stairwell and pressed her ear against it.
"I heard Zheng Xinyao's friend got eliminated, is that right?"
"Yes, his name is something like Zhang Zeyan. We asked him to sign with Qingtian Entertainment, but he refused. In this situation, who can give him resources? He even wants to be the second male lead? He's dreaming."
Does he think that just because he's friends with Zheng Xinyao, others will use him? How naive! His acting is great, and the director does like him, but so what?
If it weren't for the fact that my Tian Changgeng needed a superstar to elevate his status, our company wouldn't have even invited Zheng Xinyao.
Zheng Xinyao is just a minor starlet in the interstellar world. If she were a top star, our company might give her some face, but her face isn't worth much, tsk tsk..."
"What did you say? Say what you just said again..."
Just then, a cold voice rang out from the stairwell.
Zheng Xinyao then walked down the stairs with a cold expression.
In her hand, a camera was still recording.
The two people who were chatting were startled when Zheng Xinyao suddenly appeared.
"You must be Tian Changgeng's assistant! Come on, repeat what you just said." Zheng Xinyao pointed at a young man in his thirties and said calmly.
"Ms. Zheng, Ms. Zheng Xinyao, I...I..."
Tian Changgeng's assistant was terrified. He had just been chatting with someone and saying bad things about Zheng Xinyao, but he never expected that Zheng Xinyao would hear him.
"You just said that my friend refused to sign with your Qingtian Entertainment, so Qingtian Entertainment is targeting my friend, right?" Zheng Xinyao asked, pointing at Tian Changgeng's assistant.
"No, no, I didn't..."
"You just said my pride isn't worth much, right...?"
"I...I didn't, Miss Zheng, you must have misheard me. I have to go now..."
Tian Changgeng's assistant ran away immediately after speaking.
The other person who was talking to him also quickly ran after him.
Seeing the two people flee in panic, Zheng Xinyao's small chest heaved, and her face turned very ugly.
After thinking for a moment, she opened her phone and watched the video she had just recorded.
Just now, when the two were talking, he heard his own name mentioned, so he turned on the recording mode.
Then, he recorded their conversation about her.
beep, beep...
"Mom! I'm not acting in this show anymore."
Zheng Xinyao ran upstairs quickly, opened the door to her room, and spoke to her mother, her face full of grievance and anger.
"What's wrong with you?" Zheng Xinyao's mother asked quickly when she saw that Zheng Xinyao looked angry.
"Mom, look at this! They've really gone too far!"
Then, Zheng Xinyao played the video he had just recorded at the second-floor stairwell for his mother to see.
After watching the video, before her mother could speak, Zheng Xinyao said, "The people in this production crew look down on me, and this Qingtian Entertainment is so annoying. I don't want to act in their productions, and I have to raise that damn Tian Changgeng's status..." Zheng Xinyao's tone was very angry.
Hearing Zheng Xinyao's words, her mother quickly comforted her, "Yaoyao, don't be angry. Besides, what they said isn't wrong. This drama was invested in by Qingtian Entertainment. It's natural that they don't want Zhang Zeyan if he doesn't agree to sign with Qingtian Entertainment..."
"wrong!"
Zheng Xinyao shook her head directly, then said angrily, "If Qingtian Entertainment doesn't want outsiders, then why do they hold public auditions? When I recommended them, they could have just told me clearly. After I took over, they called the people over, but they did this..."
"Besides, listen to what those two people said. They didn't respect me at all. I don't want to act in a drama that doesn't respect me like that," Zheng Xinyao said angrily.
"You don't want to act? You've already signed the contract and you're saying you don't want to act?" Zheng Xinyao's mother said speechlessly.
"At worst, I'll just pay the penalty for breach of contract. Anyway, I don't want to act anymore. They don't respect my friends or me. I'm not acting anymore..." Zheng Xinyao said coldly.
"Yaoyao, don't act impulsively. The penalty for breach of contract is double your salary. How about this, I'll talk to the production team and get them an explanation," Zheng Xinyao's mother quickly said to her daughter.
As Zheng Xinyao's mother, she is very familiar with her daughter's personality.
Her daughter may seem gentle and obedient on the surface, but she is actually very stubborn at heart. Once she makes up her mind about something, nothing can change it.
"Then call the crew right now and let me see what they have to say," Zheng Xinyao said to her mother.
"Okay, I'll call the producer of this show right now."
Zheng Xinyao's mother couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to make a phone call on the spot.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Producer Zhang, I'm Zheng Xinyao's mother..."
"Zheng Xinyao's mother, what's the matter that you called me?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's like this, Producer Zhang..."
Then, Zheng Xinyao's mother recounted what had just happened.
