Chapter 360: Termination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Xi treated his agent’s words as the last straw. Naturally, he wanted to hold onto him tightly. He even wished that his agent could contact the company now and ask the company to help him resolve this matter.
However, before his manager could contact the company, there was suddenly a commotion outside the production team.
The manager subconsciously frowned and looked in the direction of the commotion.
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened. After all, the director of the production team he was currently in had a very high status, and he had very strict control over the production team. This had never happened before.
At the very least, during the few days that Xu Xi had been in the production team, the production team was usually quiet except for filming.
“What happened?” Xu Xi asked in confusion.
It had already been a few minutes, but the director had yet to suppress the commotion.
The agent paused for a few seconds. Seeing that there were still no staff around to explain, he could only go and check the situation himself.
After a while, the manager returned with an unsightly expression.
Xu Xi saw his manager’s expression and suddenly had a bad feeling. He swallowed nervously. “What’s going on in front?”
The manager’s gaze landed on Xu Xi, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
Previously, when the manager saw Xu Xi, he still had a trace of warmth and felt that Xu Xi could still be saved. Now, the manager had already decided to give up on Xu Xi.
“It’s the female lead making a fuss,” the manager said emotionlessly.
“Just because she is the female lead, she can make a fuss like this? The director is completely helpless? What is she making a fuss about?! The production team…”
Xu Xi was already frustrated because of what was being said online. Now that he heard that the previous commotion was all because of the female lead, he became even more dissatisfied, and his tone was filled with reproach.
However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something. His voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and he could not make a sound.
The manager glanced at Xu Xi with a cold expression and added what Xu Xi had not finished saying, “The female lead is making a fuss about terminating the contract.”
After getting an affirmative answer from his manager, Xu Xi’s eyes widened slightly. There was a hint of disbelief, but there was a hint of realization in the depths of his eyes.
After a long time, he came back to his senses.
He looked at the unfamiliar manager in front of him, pursed his lips, and lowered his head.
He didn’t need to ask why. He could guess why the female lead had chosen to withdraw from the production at this time and why she wanted to terminate her contract with the production team at this time.
It was for no other reason that she saw that his popularity had completely declined.
The female lead did not want to drag herself down because of him. The best solution now was naturally to terminate the contract with the production team and avoid him, an actor who had already been boycotted by many netizens online.
Even his partner had slapped him in the face like this. Then, in the future…
At the thought of this, Xu Xi could not help as a fit of dizziness hit him and his body swayed. He still held onto the back of the chair at the side to barely prevent himself from falling.
The manager looked at Xu Xi’s behavior and felt even more disdain for him.
It seemed like he had to find another artiste as soon as possible. This Xu Xi was completely useless now. Without Huang Tu’s support and resources, Xu Xi would no longer have the chance to rise.
Since he was Xu Xi’s manager, the manager gave Xu Xi one last chance.
“When we signed this drama back then, we said that we couldn’t breach the contract easily. If we really breached the contract, we would have to pay a huge sum of money. As for you, we can only pray that you can successfully film this drama now.”
He had seen it before. Xu Xi’s acting skills were not bad. If he could act well in this drama, the audience would have almost forgotten about Xu Xi’s current matters. After the drama was broadcast, Xu Xi might be able to use this drama to turn things around.
However… based on the actress’s attitude just now, this drama would probably not go too smoothly for Xu Xi.
Although the manager did not finish his sentence, Xu Xi had been in the entertainment industry for many years and knew some things in the industry.
The female lead still wanted to forcefully terminate the contract under such harsh conditions. She probably felt that he would only suffer a crushing defeat in the future..
