Chapter 261: We Are Not Reshooting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She was well informed. After hearing that Xia Ling had moved out of Li Lei’s apartment a few days ago, she was initially very happy, but then she heard that Li Lei frequently visited her and even personally cooked and sent the food over to her… Incorrigible, that was Brother Lei’s personally cooked food! Since when did her Brother Lei cook for any woman?! What right did that irritating woman have to deserve that sort of treatment? She was too shameless!
As such, she looked for Xia Ling today.
On the one hand, she wanted to mock her for her break up with Li Lei. On the other hand, she wanted to warn her to stay away from Li Lei!
Xia Ling also understood that she was just jealous. Laughing sarcastically, she said, “I would like to know who Miss Gu is to Li Lei. What right do you have to say these things to me? Regardless of whether we have broken up, this is something between us and not something for you to blindly partake in. It won’t be good if people mistakenly believe that Li Lei likes you!”
“You!” Gu Lin was so angry that her eyes turned red.
So what if Brother Lei did not like her? If Brother Lei liked her, why was she still not part of the Li family after sparing no effort in getting him to like her? However, she would never give up. She stubbornly believed that the vixen in front of her had seduced him, and once she chased her away, Brother Lei would definitely fall in love with her!
The more Gu Lin hated her, the more she wanted to cause trouble for Xia Ling.
“Of course, I’m qualified to speak to you! I’m the eldest daughter of the Gu family!” Gu Lin looked at her disdainfully with her head high up in the air like a proud peacock. “Ye Xingling, don’t forget who you are shooting the commercial for. As long as I say that you’re no good, don’t even think about finishing this job!”
Xia Ling looked at her blandly. “So?”
Gu Lin was startled. What did she mean by that? Was that irritating woman not afraid at all? How could she be this calm! Miss Gu was upset again and became even more enraged. “So, I want you to reshoot this commercial!”
There was a buzzing sound as the crowd started to discuss the situation.
Before Xia Ling could say anything, the head director became visibly upset. “Miss Gu, Miss Ye danced for the commercial perfectly, we don’t need to reshoot. In fact, we can start editing the footage immediately.” He had a family, and his wife and children were waiting for him to return home for dinner after work. Those in charge of lighting and props may not be willing to co-operate as well. Who wouldn’t want to get off work early?
However, Gu Lin glared at him. “If I say it’s no good, it’s no good!”
“What part of it is no good?” Xia Ling faked a smile and asked.
Gu Lin was startled again. What sort of question was that? Did that irritating woman not see that she was finding fault with her?! Why was she still asking her which part was no good?! How would she know which part was not good!
Just now, when Xia Ling was being filmed in the water, Gu Lin was observing from afar and could not help but admit that Xia Ling danced beautifully. Her elegant and ethereal dance tugged at everyone’s heartstrings, and people could not take their eyes off of her.
However, this made Gu Lin angrier. What right did that irritating woman have to be so elegant?!
“What part of it is no good?” Gu Lin gritted her teeth. “Everything is bad! Ye Xingling, do you not have any self-awareness? I can’t believe you still dared to show up for the advertisement shoot when your dancing is so unsightly! If this commercial is released, the Gu family will be humiliated because of you! Re-shoot!”
Xia Ling laughed slightly. “My dancing is unsightly? May I ask Miss Gu if it is because my posture during my backbend as I was coming out of the water was missing something?”
What backbend was she even talking about?
Gu Lin’s face stiffened.
Xia Ling smiled again. “Or is there a problem with my battement when I was twisting my body?”
What the hell was that? Gu Lin’s face became stiffer.
“Both of them are not the reasons? Which part does Miss Gu think was poorly done then? My frappe? My footwork? My position? You have to give me an explanation. Saying that my dancing is not good is too vague, I’m at a loss as to what to do… Miss Gu, I hope that this is not because you don’t know anything about dancing.”
“Who… who said I don’t know anything about dancing!” Gu Lin retorted, but her heart was pounding like a drum. She completely did not understand all of the dancing terms that the irritating woman just said!
Sister Mai Na rudely laughed and almost clapped for Xia Ling. That was exactly how she should deal with vicious people like Gu Lin! “Haha, so uncultured. It’s really appalling.” She ruthlessly mocked Gu Lin. “You come from a rich family, why didn’t you put your family’s money to good use by learning something? Do you know about water ballet or folk dance? If you don’t know anything, don’t add trouble and embarrass the Gu family!”
She said the last sentence because of what Gu Lin mocked Xia Ling for doing, Sister Mai Na was trying to return the favor.
As such, Xia Ling also laughed. Having a manager who knew how to put others down was very comforting.
Gu Lin was so angry her face became as white as a sheet. Even many staff members at the scene could not help but laugh. It was obvious that these staff members were supporting Xia Ling because everyone wanted to end work and go home earlier. No one wanted to remain there to do a reshoot.
Sensing that the crowd was ridiculing her, she also felt embarrassed and stomped her feet. “I don’t care! No matter what, you must reshoot! Otherwise, don’t even think about getting paid for this advertisement!” As she spoke, she glared angrily at the director from the Gu Financial Magnate. “Hey, you! Say something! If you don’t ask them to reshoot, I will ask my father to fire you when we get back!”
“Of course, Miss Gu! If you say we should reshoot, we will reshoot.” Director Qian Yong’s forehead was covered in sweat. He said to the head director who was in charge of the advertisement, “Xiao Li, quickly reshoot. I think there is really something lacking in the previous shoot, and reshooting will be even better to refine the previous shoot.” He originally wanted to curry favor with Gu Lin anyway. Everyone in the Gu Financial Magnate knew that the CEO loved his precious daughter the most. As long as Gu Lin was happy, promotion and raise were possible, but if he offended Gu Lin, he did not have to think about remaining in the company.
The head director was unhappy. “Director Qian, this…”
Qian Yong desperately tried to signal to him.
The head director hesitated before managing to say, “Alright, we will reshoot.” The Gu Financial Magnate was their top-rated client and would pay them a lot of money every year for advertisements, so it was not wise for him to offend Miss Gu. Besides, Director Qian was very considerate. Seeing his expression just now, he would definitely compensate him with many benefits.
Trying to get everyone’s attention, the head director clapped his hands. “Come, everyone, let’s bear it for a while and reshoot. Prepare the lights and cameras.” He then turned to look at Xia Ling. “Miss Ye, I have to trouble you as well.”
Xia Ling stared at him coldly. She did not move or make a sound.
Sister Mai Na frowned. “Who do you think our company’s Xiao Ling is that she would agree to a reshoot just because you want one?”
“There is a condition in the contract that states that the shoot must meet the requirements of the producers.” The head director thickened his skin and spoke to Sister Mai Na. “Now, the producer is not satisfied with the shoot, so we have to reshoot until she is satisfied. I hope you understand.” He knew that Sister Mai Na was not as moronic as Miss Gu, it was not good to provoke her.
Sure enough, Sister Mai Na was furious. “We’re not reshooting.”
