Phi-Fic Chapter 356 Contract Termination
Chapter 356 Contract Termination
Xiao Wushuang simply couldn't understand it.
Master Xu, the leader of the Green Gang, led two hundred men to the capital on a ship. Such a large ship, how could it sink so easily?
So many people, just vanished like that?
Although shipwrecks have occurred on the Yangtze River outside the capital, I have never heard of one on such a large scale.
"What did the Green Gang say?" Xiao Wushuang asked the Green Gang members.
"The gang leader personally ordered a full-scale investigation. We must find him alive or dead!"
Xiao Wushuang's brows furrowed tightly.
Xu Sanye is an investor in "The Legend of Concubine Chen". Now that he's in trouble, can the show still be made?
Xiao Wushuang was more unwilling to accept it.
She couldn't understand how Xiao Chen could be so lucky.
Master Xu of the Green Gang led two hundred elite Green Gang members to the capital by boat, but both the men and the boat were lost...
She would never have imagined that Xiao Chen did this.
Because in her eyes, Xiao Chen was nothing more than a dog of the Xiao family.
He absolutely does not have such ability or skill.
"Sister Wushuang, I have some bad news..." Xiao Wushuang's assistant stepped forward cautiously and said carefully.
"You're not going to tell me that this film is going to be temporarily suspended, are you?" Xiao Wushuang said with a long face.
"That's right. If something happens to the investor, it's only natural that filming would be suspended."
She wasn't worried at all.
Master Xu is a big shot in the Green Gang, how could he be so easily in trouble?
When he comes back, we can film this movie again.
Moreover, she wasn't worried, since she had a constant stream of film offers and many good scripts in hand.
This includes some highly anticipated adaptations, the kind that are guaranteed to garner significant attention once filmed.
"Sister Wushuang, it's not a pause, it's a complete termination..." the assistant whispered, "The Green Gang has withdrawn their investment, this film is dead before it even started..."
"What?" Xiao Wushuang frowned, her expression displeased.
"Didn't Master Xu assure me that there would be absolutely no problems with this film?" she said, somewhat angrily.
"What are the Green Gang up to?"
The assistant turned pale with fright and quickly reminded her to keep her voice down.
That was a decision made by the high-ranking members of the Green Gang; how could they question it?
"Forget it, let's see which movie I'm supposed to film next." Xiao Wushuang waved her hand impatiently.
She had already accepted several roles at the beginning of the year, and they were all waiting for her to start filming.
In recent years, she has become incredibly famous, and renowned directors and investors have flocked to her, begging her to act in their films.
Some investors even said that their films could only be directed by Xiao Wushuang, and they were willing to wait no matter how long it took.
"Sister Wushuang... your next project has been cancelled..." the assistant said weakly.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Wushuang was no longer calm.
The roles she accepts are all carefully selected from a large pool of scripts.
They are all highly anticipated, and there is already a strong demand for them even before filming has started.
But that's not the most important thing.
Xiao Wushuang was actually terminated from her contract?
Who would dare to do that?
Who wasn't begging her to film?
"Tell me, which movie is it? Which company, which director, which investor? How dare they terminate my contract!" Xiao Wushuang said angrily.
The assistant didn't dare to speak.
"Are you mute?" Xiao Wushuang glared.
"Sister Wushuang, it's not just one play... it's all the plays, all of them have been canceled..." Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
"What did you say? Say it again!" Xiao Wushuang's mind went blank, and he shouted at his assistant, his voice cracking.
All of his roles were terminated...
How can it be?
"Just this morning, news suddenly came that the investors of the scripts you had previously accepted had, almost simultaneously, sent termination notices, unilaterally ending their cooperation..."
Xiao Wushuang's face darkened upon hearing this.
Simultaneous termination of the contract?
She doesn't understand.
Weren't all those people begging her to act in their movies? Have they lost their minds?
Have you forgotten how humble you were before?
"Where's my agent? Where's my agent? Why are you only telling me about something this big now?" Xiao Wushuang was furious.
"The agent only left a resignation letter..." The assistant handed over a letter.
Xiao Wushuang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Her agent is a renowned top agent in the industry.
Back when she was still playing minor roles, her agent suddenly approached her, saying that she had great potential and that he wanted to personally assist her.
In recent years, her top agent has helped her plan everything meticulously, making her increasingly popular.
But now, her top agent has run away without a word?
"Why did she resign?" Xiao Wushuang asked with a gloomy face.
"He didn't say anything, but after answering a phone call, his expression suddenly changed. He said something like 'You reap what you sow,' and then he left," the assistant said.
Xiao Wushuang's pretty face stiffened.
"You reap what you sow..." she muttered, her brows furrowed.
Did I do something wrong?
She tried hard to recall, but couldn't figure out where she had gone wrong.
"Hmph, so what if the contract is terminated? So what if the agent ran away? A bunch of blind fools, I don't care!" Xiao Wushuang said coldly.
However, the resentment in her tone made it hard for her to truly ignore it.
After becoming famous, she became arrogant and disdainful of everyone.
Because everyone fawned over her, she became incredibly arrogant and haughty.
This blow enraged her, and she cursed those people in her heart for being blind to her worth.
"You... spread the word right now that I've freed up my schedule," she instructed her assistant.
The assistant obediently did as instructed.
Xiao Wushuang sat on the sofa angrily, holding her phone in front of her.
She was full of confidence, waiting for famous directors and investors to contact her.
In her opinion, those people usually beg her to act in movies but she always refuses them. Now that she's actively spreading the word, won't they go crazy?
"I, Xiao Wushuang, am a hot star, a real box office guarantee. Why would I worry about not having any roles?" she muttered to herself, sneering repeatedly.
She could almost see herself making a huge hit, leaving her former agent and those short-sighted people filled with regret.
Ten minutes passed, and the phone remained silent. Xiao Wushuang grew impatient.
"Those people just haven't seen the message yet," she reassured herself.
Half an hour... an hour...
Two whole hours passed, and no one called or texted Xiao Wushuang.
The only message she received was a system message, which made her excited for nothing.
Her expression grew increasingly grim, and she immediately called her assistant.
"It's been so long, and no one has contacted you yet?" she asked.
"Sister Wushuang, I've been keeping an eye on things... If anyone contacts me, I'll definitely tell you." The assistant said nervously.
Xiao Wushuang was furious.
"Within three days, a big-name director or investor will definitely come to me with a script, begging for a collaboration!"
She said it heavily.
