Chapter 492: He Zhengbai Was Replaced Too

“Who knew that Lu Man is actually attending Film Academy.” Lu Qi bit onto her lips furiously.

“I’ve asked around, she’s in the second semester of the first year of university right now. This year, she will follow them and move on to Year Two.”

“She sure is shameless. Isn’t she afraid of people laughing at her for being classmates with a bunch of people younger than her!” Lu Qi scoffed. “Oh right, how’s the preparation for your movie coming along?”

“It’s coming along pretty well. I’m still working on figuring out the camera angles,” He Zhengbai said. “Previously, it was always my family who invested in my films and let me shoot, but the amount they invested isn’t a lot. At most, I could only shoot some low-budget web dramas for practice. It’s really nothing much at all. This time, there’s an investor who wants me to film a television show and now I won’t need to use any of my family’s money. I definitely have to film a television show that would surprise the audience and stand out amongst the crowd, making a grand debut as director.”

“Brother He, you will definitely succeed. You’re so talented, you can definitely do it. You will definitely become famous from directing this show,” Lu Qi encouraged.

“Yes, I’ll definitely prove it to my family. Even though my family’s business is being managed by my older brother, my parents always felt that being a director isn’t a legitimate job. In the past, when they invested in my project, they also grumble about it. They also kept harshly criticizing me saying that that they had invested so much money in me but I hadn’t succeeded at all and so I might as well go back to the company and earn money. But now I will definitely prove to them that becoming a director isn’t worse or any less than working in a company!”

“Oh right, why are you here today? Aren’t you about to start filming?” He Zhengbai asked.

“I’m afraid that there have been some changes.” Worry was written all over Lu Qi’s face. “My mom demanded a pay hike from Ji Cheng behind my back. Initially, Ji Cheng agreed, but even after such a long time, he has yet to contact me again. I’m scared that he’s toying with me. Brother He, you are very resourceful. Please help me to ask around if Ji Cheng’s movie has started shooting.”

He Zhengbai was extremely happy as Lu Qi stroked his ego. “I will help you to ask around right now.”

Hence, He Zhengbai quickly a phone call. But when he hung up the phone, his face darkened.

At that moment, Lu Qi’s heart instantly had a bad premonition.

He Zhengbai said solemnly, “Your guess was right. Ji Cheng’s film has started shooting a long time ago.”

“Then what about the female lead? He found one too?” Lu Qi asked nervously.

“He found her.” He Zhengbai nodded. His face was so dark and serious that it was frightening. “You definitely won’t be able to guess it. The person he found to replace you is actually Lu Man!”

“That’s too shameless!” Lu Qi immediately remembered that she had even rejected that television show and felt heart-wrenching pain in her heart.

Just as He Zhengbai was consoling Lu Qi, his own mobile phone rang too.

In the midst of Lu Qi’s fury, she saw He Zhengbai’s face changed from shocked and frozen to fury and anger. “How could you just change the person out of the blue? Do you know how long I’ve been preparing for this show?”

The other part sounded helpless too. “We’ve no other choice either, we’re forced and it’s beyond our control.”

“How is it beyond your control?” He Zhengbai asked furiously.

If this was another newbie director, the other party would have already hung up long ago. Who would still bother talking and dragging it out with him?

However, because he was from the He Family, the other party said, “I don’t know who it is specifically either. The person who informed me is the big boss from our investors. The big boss wouldn’t explain so much to me either. Originally, the big boss did like you quite a bit. Someone who could make our big boss change his mind is probably someone who is even more impressive than him, but even I don’t know anything about him. I know that you’ve been preparing for a very long time so it must be very difficult to accept it and you feel really wronged too, but I honestly don’t have any other choice. I’ve already tried fighting for you, but it didn’t work. How about this, in the future if we still have a chance, I will think about you first.”

Without waiting for He Zhengbai to speak, the other party hurriedly hung up the phone.
