Yan Yanfeng was quite dissatisfied with the press release drafted by the director. She decided to write the promotional copy for the crew herself.
The sound of rapid typing filled the air as Yan Yanfeng looked at the words appearing on the document, feeling quite pleased with herself. However, her writing was a jumbled mess, filled with typos and incoherent phrases. The director noticed immediately but dared not say anything; instead, he flattered her, "Miss Yan, your literary talent is truly impressive."
Flattered by his words, Yan Yanfeng waved her hand grandly and declared, "Book a five-star hotel; tonight, I’ll treat everyone!" The crew cheered in unison.
As she passed by me, she suddenly frowned. Staring at me with displeasure, she remarked, "Why is the third female lead so ugly?"
"Recast," she ordered.
The director immediately turned to me and barked, "You can get out of the crew!"
I felt troubled. "But I’ve already signed a contract and finished my part..."
Although I didn’t want to be associated with such an unscrupulous crew, I couldn’t just leave empty-handed. Knowing Yan Yanfeng’s arrogant nature, she would surely throw money at me to get rid of me.
Sure enough, Yan Yanfeng scoffed, "I don’t care about that little money; I’ll give you ten times the compensation."
"You, get out of the crew."
Well, fifty thousand for nothing. I packed my things and "got out" of the crew.
That night, while everyone from the crew was out for dinner...
I seized the opportunity and quietly slipped into the studio.
I opened the computer used by Yan Yanfeng and found the promotional copy that was about to be released. The male lead, Ji Bowen, had been renamed "Chicken Boast." The female lead, Literary Figure Jinghua, was now "Irregular Menstruation." The second male lead, Prince Shang, had been changed to "Bastard." The second female lead, Bai Miaofu, was now " White Ass." As for myself, the third female lead, I retained the term "Trash." The third male lead, Zhu Xiatao, had been renamed " pork offal."
After making these changes, I felt elated. Without hesitation, I sent it out.
Next came the task of destroying the evidence. I deleted the surveillance footage of my entry into the studio. Then, I clipped a segment of video showing the director entering and spliced it into that timeframe. A perfect frame job. The dog of a director would take the blame for me.
Hahaha, Yan Yanfeng, enjoy this!
The speed at which things spread online was astonishing. I had barely slipped out when I checked my phone. Sure enough, the crew of "Locking Jade and Condensing Fragrance" had exploded in chaos. On the trending list, eight out of the top ten topics were about the production team.
The promotional posts for "Locking Jade and Condensing Fragrance" were everywhere.
The cast was embroiled in a public feud. The production team had dismissed the third female lead. There were controversies surrounding the character Yan Yanfeng. The name of the show itself was under fire, leading to a name change. The crew had offended someone important.
Every link led to a barrage of insults.
"What a trash production team, they can't even write a decent promotional blurb!"
"I'm dying of laughter, is that even a name? If I didn't know better, I'd think it's a cult!"
"The third female lead is so unfortunate, kicked out by an unscrupulous crew; she probably won't find work again."
"Disgraceful crew, terrible director; I won't watch any of your shows from now on!"
Seeing the backlash, the production team quickly shifted blame, claiming that an inexperienced intern had written the posts and that they had already been fired. They then changed the subject, stating that the third female lead was unattractive and difficult to work with, and that newcomer Yan Yanfeng would take her place.
"Wow, they're just passing the blame onto someone else!"
"The crew is foolish for using an inexperienced intern as a scapegoat; who would believe that?"
"Seriously, I've never seen such a shameless production team!"
I looked at my phone, counting the trending topics. Including myself, there were eight in total.
I smiled.
This kind of attention? It was too good to pass up.
