Chapter 641: 206: Numerous contract terminations, losses exceeding one billion! _5

About half an hour later, Director Ming with a head of silver hair came over with a smile, “Bob, sorry to keep you waiting!”

“It’s alright.” Edward Thompson put down his cup and stood up from the chair.

Although Director Ming’s hair had turned white, he was not that old, just a little over forty. When he smiled, he had a very amiable and friendly appearance and was one of the few well-reputed directors in Sinian Country. freewёbnoνel.com

Director Ming continued, “I’m really sorry to have you make the trip in person, Bob.”

As soon as his words were finished, he looked at the secretary beside him, and blamed her: “Carrie! Didn’t I say, let you notify Bob?”

Carrie bowed her head, stuttering anxiously, “Di-director Ming… I forgot!”

“Hurry up and apologize to Emperor Thompson,” Director Ming said with a frown, his tone stern.

Carrie turned to Edward Thompson, “I’m really sorry, Emperor Thompson, I didn’t mean to.”

Edward Thompson was confused. Why did Director Ming suddenly ask Carrie to apologize to him?

The little assistant beside him also had a puzzled expression.

At that moment, Director Ming laughed and patted Edward Thompson’s shoulder, saying, “Well, you see Bob, I originally asked Carrie to inform you last night not to come today. You’re already an acting emperor in this circle, so we have to give younger people a chance, right? otherwise, when can these newcomers ever break out?”

Edward Thompson frowned slightly, “Director Ming, do you mean you want to change the male lead for ‘Bright Moon’?”

Director Ming nodded, “Actually, we mainly want to give some opportunities to the newcomer actors.”

A surge of anger rose in Edward Thompson’s heart.

What Director Ming said sounded nice, but in fact, he just wanted to press down the pay, and he could not find a suitable excuse, so he said he wanted to change the actor.

What is this?

Kicking a man when he’s down?

Edward Thompson wouldn’t let Director Ming succeed and wouldn’t back down, he said with a smile: “Director Ming is right, we should really give newcomer actors more chances. In that case, I won’t bother you any longer.”

With that, he turned and left.

The little assistant immediately followed Edward Thompson’s steps.

Director Ming watched Edward Thompson leave, his eyes narrowed. A moment later, he shook his head and sighed, “Young people these days, they have too much energy!”

They also view issues as too simple.

Originally, Director Ming intended to continue working with Edward Thompson, but now the Thompson Clan publicly announced their disconnection with Edward Thompson, and Edward Thompson was on the other side entangled with Sylvia Thompson, the daughter of a murderer.

If they continued to let Edward Thompson be the male lead, it would undoubtedly affect the movie’s release.

Furthermore, Edward Thompson didn’t have much acting ability; the fact that he could become famous and gain countless fans was all due to his gold medal agent Howard and the influence of the Thompson Clan.

Every time Edward Thompson’s new film was about to premiere, the Thompson Clan would create momentum for it.

Behind Howard was an elite PR team.

But now, Edward Thompson was all alone.

With nothing to offer.

If he continued working with Edward Thompson, it would undoubtedly affect the box office.

So, after weighing all the options, Director Ming decided to change the male lead.

Director Ming was very confident.

With his abilities, even if they changed to a newcomer with no fame, the box office would still be a big hit!

Edward Thompson, filled with anger, left the entrance of Smith Media and went to his car. He lifted his foot and fiercely kicked the car door!

It was so infuriating!

Edward Thompson had been in the industry for many years and had never encountered such an infuriating event.

There had only been productions he looked down upon, and this was the first time he had been rejected.

However.

What broke Edward Thompson wasn’t just that.

The news that “Bright Moon” was to replace the male lead spread instantly throughout the industry.

Director Ming was like a weathervane. For a while, the little assistant received countless messages.

All wanting to cancel contracts.

These were originally set in stone, including a particularly famous variety show.

Edward Thompson had planned to rely on this variety show to return to the public eye and sell his persona, but his plans fell through.

Within a day.

Edward Thompson lost more than ten billion.

The little assistant was even afraid to breathe loudly, fearing that any slight carelessness might cause him to become the target of Edward Thompson’s anger.

Upon learning of the situation, Sylvia Thompson came to comfort Edward Thompson.

In fact, Sylvia Thompson had never expected things to turn out this way either.

“Brother, don’t be discouraged. Those people who kicked you while you were down will regret it one day.” After saying this, Sylvia Thompson continued, “You won’t accompany when the sun sets in the west, but who are you when the sun rises again from the east! Don’t worry, Brother, I will always stand by your side without hesitation!”
