Chapter 67

Yang Gongru didn't really care much; he was just a second-tier celebrity, but the person behind Yang Gongru, Liu Weiqiang, couldn't help but be wary of him, a billionaire, someone who couldn't be easily offended.

However, these issues were not the real problem. The real problem was the conflict between Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian. If this conflict wasn't resolved, it was easy to imagine what the outcome would be at the opening ceremony.

Tomorrow was the opening ceremony, and Liu Weiqiang finally couldn't hold back and called, "Director Jiang, this is Liu Weiqiang."

Director Jiang represented Jiahe, so to resolve this issue, he had to be involved.

Whether it was Zheng Yijian or Guo Fucheng, they might not give him face, but at this moment, they couldn't refuse Director Jiang, as Jiahe was a behemoth they couldn't afford to offend.

After hearing the news, Director Jiang frowned and said, "This matter has already been contracted, and Jiahe cannot violate any contract. However, to take care of Guo Fucheng's feelings, you can tell him that we can offer him the rights to sing the end credits and the interlude songs."

This was a compromise. Jiahe also recognized Guo Fucheng's influence, which is why they agreed to make this concession. A superstar should have the privileges of a superstar.

When Guo Fucheng's agent, Xiao Mei, received the call, she said, "Chengcheng, Director Liu said that the theme song has already been contracted and cannot be changed. However, the end credits and interlude songs can be given to us. I think this is the biggest concession Jiahe can make. If we don't agree, I'm afraid Jiahe won't be able to explain it to their side."

Although Guo Fucheng was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, offending a behemoth like Jiahe would be unwise.

At this moment, Guo Fucheng said somewhat reluctantly, "I was very optimistic about the theme song of this movie. I didn't expect that Liu Weiqiang would agree to Zheng Yijian's request after just a few days. They are clearly in cahoots. Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

The next day, half an hour before the opening ceremony, everyone was in the makeup room, waiting to face the cameras.

At this moment, even Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian were focused on getting their makeup done and checking their outfits, wanting to present their best side to the media.

If men were like this, women naturally had no room for hesitation. Yang Gongru and Shu Qi were also doing their makeup meticulously, afraid of any mistakes.

From the allocation of the makeup rooms, one could see the status of the people in the production team.

Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian each had their own makeup room. Guo Fucheng's was closer to the entrance because he was a veteran superstar with more seniority than Zheng Yijian.

Moreover, Guo Fucheng's makeup room was the No. 1 makeup room, the largest one.

Since Guo Fucheng had taken the No. 1 makeup room, Zheng Yijian had to use the No. 2 makeup room, which was quite frustrating for him.

Although he was unhappy with this arrangement, in terms of seniority, he was indeed not as high as Guo Fucheng.

At this moment, Zheng Yijian said with a gloomy face, "Xiao Shan, I'm not happy. Guo Fucheng's setup is actually bigger than mine. If we talk about fame, am I worse than him? Even in singing, how much better is he than me?"

This was always a source of frustration for Zheng Yijian. He believed his acting was much better than Guo Fucheng's, and even in singing, he didn't think he was worse.

Therefore, Zheng Yijian was very unhappy with how the director treated him, but because of his relationship with Liu Weiqiang, he couldn't just quit.

Xiao Shan comforted him, "Brother Nan, don't worry. It's not the right time for us to act. Guo Fucheng is waiting for us to make a mistake, but we won't fall for it. There will be plenty of opportunities during the filming. It's meaningless to compete with Guo Fucheng now."

As an agent, it wasn't just about arranging the artist's life; sometimes, it was also about giving advice. Xiao Shan was at this level.

Zheng Yijian slammed his hand on the makeup table and said, "I know, but I'm not happy. By the way, I can't deal with Guo Fucheng, but that guy Ye Ming is close to him. He's clearly not on my side. Is there any way to deal with him?"

Xiao Shan put down his work and said, "Brother Nan, don't worry. Dealing with Guo Fucheng isn't easy, but dealing with a newcomer is no big deal. I'll take care of it. I'll make sure Ye Ming gets what he deserves."

As for the other cast members, the male actors shared one makeup room, and the female actors shared another. Even Huang Qiusheng had to share with Qian Yezhen and Wang Zhiwen.

Ye Ming was also there, and he arrived the earliest, which was an unwritten rule in the industry: newcomers should arrive early.

Otherwise, if a newcomer arrived later than Guo Fucheng and Zheng Yijian, making these big stars wait, it would be a disaster.

In fact, Ye Ming, Shu Qi, and Xu Jinglei arrived very early.

Wang Zhiwen, with his seniority, arrived just in time with Huang Qiusheng, and he had the right to do so.

The production team couldn't say anything about it.

On the women's side, Shu Qi, Xu Jinglei, and Yang Gongru shared a makeup room.

Suddenly, a terrified scream came from Zheng Yijian's makeup room.

Xiao Shan rushed out and shouted, "Someone, someone, call the police quickly."

This made everyone in the production team nervous, wondering if something serious had happened.

Many people were speculating and guessing what had happened.

Director Liu Weiqiang, who was setting up the opening ceremony, immediately rushed over and shouted at the onlookers, "What are you doing? Finish your work and leave. Get back to what you're supposed to be doing."

After driving away the onlookers, Liu Weiqiang looked at Xiao Shan with a meaningful expression and said, "Xiao Shan, what happened? Why are you calling the police?"

Zheng Yijian was his protégé, and Liu Weiqiang trusted his agent not to cause trouble. If it had reached the level of calling the police, it wasn't just about being a diva; it was about breaking the law, and he hoped the police could resolve it.

Xiao Shan said without hesitation, "Director, you're just the right person to deal with this. I was about to find you. We have a thief in the production team. Yijian's La Prairie cosmetics are missing. They are top-tier cosmetics from the UK, and they disappeared in just a moment."

Liu Weiqiang frowned and said, "The cosmetics are missing? Are you sure you didn't misremember?"

Xiao Shan was very certain and said, "Director, I wouldn't misremember. You know how much Yijian cares about his skin. He only uses La Prairie. Otherwise, it could damage his skin. I always carry this for him and check the makeup case every time we come out. I remember clearly that I brought it."

With such a big incident in the production team, Ye Ming and the others were naturally alarmed. No one had the heart to do their makeup and came out to see what had happened.

When Xiao Shan saw Ye Ming, he suddenly widened his eyes, looking at him with a sharp gaze, like a hunter spotting prey. He pointed at Ye Ming and said, "I suspect he stole it. Director, I hope you call the police immediately. We can't have a thief in our production team."

Liu Weiqiang was somewhat displeased. Zheng Yijian was his protégé, but Ye Ming was also an actor he had brought in. Accusing him of theft would be a huge blow to the production team.

Wang Zhiwen was taken aback. What was going on? Although Ye Ming had offended Zheng Yijian, it wasn't necessary to use such a vicious method.

If this false accusation succeeded, Ye Ming would never be able to work in the industry again. No production team would welcome a thief.

Ye Ming showed no signs of fear. He calmly put his hand in his pocket and then stood up and said, "You can talk nonsense, but you can't accuse someone of being a thief without evidence. If you don't have evidence, be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation. In Hong Kong, defamation is a serious offense."

Being targeted like this was unexpected for Ye Ming, but he wasn't someone who could be easily intimidated in Hong Kong.

Liu Weiqiang frowned and said, "Xiao Shan, do you have any evidence? If you don't, you know the consequences. It's just a piece of cosmetics. Who would steal that? Maybe you misremembered."

At this moment, the director was trying to resolve the issue peacefully.

However, Xiao Shan, who wanted to kick Ye Ming out of the production team, was not about to give up.
