Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Writer Shen Junlan
Guo Quanyou froze mid-turn, having assumed that the matter was settled after he had offered Chen Wei a way out. To his surprise, Chen was the one who was unrelenting and refused to give him any face.
The foot that had just touched down retraced its steps as Guo faced Chen Wei once more, his eyes narrowing into slits revealing a wicked glint. With a feigned smile that did not reach his eyes, he raised his head and asked, "So, according to you, how should we end this?"
"Simple, apologize," Chen Wei said with a faint smile, his demeanor unshaken by the imposing air that Guo Quanyou exuded.
Guo Quanyou’s intimidation might work on others, but thinking it would work on him was pure fantasy.
"I can apologize to you, but you might not be able to handle the consequences of my apology!" Guo Quanyou hoped Chen Wei understood this point.
"How will we know if we don’t try?" Chen Wei replied, undeterred by Guo Quanyou’s threat, standing his ground.
"Fine! I apologize. I’m sorry I wronged you without first understanding the facts. There, are you satisfied now?" Guo Quanyou gave a mocking deep bow to Chen Wei.
"It’s barely passable. The sincerity is somewhat lacking, but I’ll consider it an apology," Chen Wei reluctantly accepted.
"Good, very good!" Guo Quanyou felt an unprecedented humiliation.
He looked at Chen Wei, then at Liu Meng, "As for directing ’Dominating the World’, I think you’d better find someone else. I, Guo Quanyou, am not up to it!"
"Don’t worry, the penalty fee of thirty million will be transferred to JM Entertainment’s company account immediately," Guo Quanyou said with a smug smile.
As if to say, I’m only losing thirty million, but you’re losing billions!
Guo Quanyou’s thinking was simple: if Chen Wei chose to apologize to him now and offer a certain amount of monetary compensation, he was willing to retract his decision and continue directing the IP, ’Dominating the World’.
"Alright, I’ve got it," Chen Wei nodded in agreement.
"..." Guo Quanyou.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... half a minute passed.
The smile gradually faded from Guo Quanyou’s face.
His brows furrowed slightly. That’s it? It’s over?
Guo Quanyou decided to give Chen Wei another minute.
Seeing that Guo Quanyou was still standing there, expectantly looking at him, Chen Wei, seeing through but not pointing it out, asked, "Is there anything else, Director Guo? If not, please don’t stay here and obstruct the filming. After all, you’re not part of the crew anymore."
"..." Guo Quanyou had never expected to be the one given marching orders.
"Are you sure you’ve thought this through?" Guo Quanyou asked through clenched teeth.
His tone was unmistakably pressuring Chen Wei.
This was Chen Wei’s last chance to back out!
Chen Wei smiled indifferently, "I never do anything that would make me regret, are you still hoping I’ll regret and ask you to stay? If that’s the case, it’s really not necessary. You can go now. Go take care of your goddaughter, so she won’t be scared all alone."
Guo Quanyou bit back his words, seething with anger, and finally left with a snort, stomping his feet as he went.
He looked just like a little complaintful wife.
"It’s a relief, but it’s a pity to waste such a good script," Liu Meng sighed after Guo Quanyou had left.
"Why say that? Just continue shooting, right?"
"How? Guo has already left, and the other two directors are busy with their projects and can’t be asked," Liu Meng knew Chen Wei hadn’t really listened to her earlier words.
"Do we have to have one of those three?" Chen Wei wanted confirmation.
"Yes," Liu Meng nodded emphatically.
"Then, big sister, do you know where the author is at the moment?" Chen Wei asked again.
"I do. She’s actually in River City right now. Why, you want to meet her? I advise you not to bother; she’s as stubborn as a mule," Liu Meng’s expression clearly showed she had learned this the hard way.
"If you don’t give it a try, how will you know?"
"..." Liu Meng held her words back as they reached her lips, thinking that if Chen Wei was looking for discomfort, why should she stop him?
She then dispersed the people present, asking them to be ready to start work at any moment, following which she left the film city with Chen Wei, got into the car, and drove away...
Half an hour later, they arrived at the villa of the writer located in the suburbs.
"Do you really want to go in and find her?" Liu Meng appeared very reluctant.
"We’ve come all this way, we have to see her, don’t we? Come on, Senior Sister, don’t waste time. Let’s finish up quickly and go back to eat. Don’t forget, you still have someone waiting," Chen Wei urged.
"Fine." Knowing she couldn’t persuade Chen Wei, Liu Meng decisively chose to give up and raised her hand to ring the doorbell.
"Who is it?" A woman’s voice came through the microphone.
"Miss Junlan, hello, it’s me, Liu Meng from JM Entertainment." Liu Meng introduced herself.
"What are you looking for me for?" Shen Junlan asked.
"About the filming of ’Dominating the World’, we’ve encountered some issues, and I would like to discuss them with you, the person involved."
"Alright."
After learning of the matter, Shen Junlan finally pressed the button to open the door remotely.
Seeing the red light turn green, Chen Wei and Liu Meng pushed the door and walked in.
They approached the villa’s door with extremely anxious hearts.
Just as Liu Meng finally made up her mind to knock, the door lock was unlocked before her.
Shen Junlan was wearing a beige nightgown, with uncombed hair, looking as if she had just pulled several all-nighters in a row; her complexion was poor, presenting an unhealthy kind of beauty.
"And this is?" Shen Junlan tightly gripped the doorknob, not in a hurry to let go.
"Miss Junlan, let me introduce, this is our JM Entertainment’s chairman, Chen Wei."
"And this is the original author of ’Dominating the World’, Shen Junlan."
Liu Meng began introducing the two to each other.
"Oh... please come in." After confirming Chen Wei’s identity, Shen Junlan finally let go and fully opened the door.
This woman is really quite cautious.
Chen Wei thought to himself.
Following that, they entered the house behind Shen Junlan, along with Liu Meng.
The house’s furnishings were minimalistic, exuding a simple style that made the villa feel somewhat empty.
However, for a writer, Chen Wei personally thought, this emptiness should be just right.
"Would you like to drink something?" Shen Junlan asked.
"There’s no need for trouble, Miss Junlan." This wasn’t just politeness on Liu Meng’s part; she knew very well that Shen Junlan would take her at her word.
And just as Liu Meng had expected, Shen Junlan decisively sat down on the sofa and asked directly, "So, what exactly happened to ’Dominating the World’?"
Chen Wei responded bluntly, "I personally believe that Guo Quanyou is not suitable to direct ’Dominating the World’!"
"Hold on, you personally believe?" Chen Wei was cut off abruptly by Shen Junlan, who, showing impatience, raised her hand and leaned forward to interrupt, "On what basis do you believe that?"
Her gaze was direct, staring intently at Chen Wei.
