Chapter 111 You Are So Bad
Dione was confused.
She asked with doubt, "What do you mean by her own haters?"
The assistant explained, "Ebony had crossed people before, so they hired cyber-bullies as haters to abuse her on ther Internet. At a later time, she suddenly got a group of new haters, and those previous haters thought the new comers somehow invaded their territory, so they attacked each other on the Internet. In the end, Ebony's original own haters lost."
Dione didn't know what to say.
The assistant's words gave Dione a headache. She looked at the comments again.
It was such a mess in the comment section. Reading those all kinds of vulgar words, Dione eyes became sore.
When she was going to refresh to turn to the next page, the entire tweet suddenly disappeared.
Dione asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
At the moment, the assistant's WhatsApp rang suddenly.
The assistant took out the phone and read the message. Then she said embarrassedly, "Dione, the official account said the comments involved a lot of personal attacks, insults, abuse, pornography and all that, and they were reported too many times. Therefore, the official system temporarily blocked the account for they identified it as a dangerous account."
Dione was lost for words.
At the moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the lounge.
Dione's expression changed, and after a pause, she said to the assistant, "Go get the door."
On the other side, Ebony was also joyfully reading the comments, but suddenly the tweet disappeared.
She asked, "Why is it gone?"
Janet checked and said, "It's not a network problem."
Ebony finished the chicken drumstick, wiped her hands, got up and said, "All right, it doesn't matter. Just let them be. Dolores will handle it if something happens."
Janet looked at Ebony thinking she really seemed not to care too much.
She said in admiration, "Ebony, you are really the most mentally strong artist among all the artists I have met. You don't care people scolding you at all."
Ebony instantly put on a carefree face and said, "Why should I care? I'm a gentle person, so I won't take them to heart."
Janet nodded and complimented, "Well, I bet you won't care if I eat the rest of the chicken drumsticks here, right?"
Ebony smiled and said, "Of course I won't! I promise I won't break your legs!"
Janet was speechless.
The shooting in the afternoon should have started at half past one.
But director Knapp did not show up on time.
Ebony sat on the chair looking at the two empty chairs on the other side.
One belonged to Dione and the other belonged to Lloyd.
Neither of them came.
After waiting for another half an hour, the assistant director came out and said to call it a day first.
Call it a day?
All the staff were gossiping.
Ebony was also quite surprised.
After Ebony got back to the hotel in the evening, she didn't even see them at the dinner.
Janet got some gossip. She ran over to Ebony and said, "It seems that they have an issue about the contract."
"The contract?" Ebony was a little puzzled. She asked, "The filming has already started. What issue do they still have about the contract?"
Janet shook her head, saying, "I don't know either."
At the moment, a sound suddenly sounded in the corridor.
Ebony stood up in her pajamas and said, "Maybe it is Lloyd coming back. Let me go and ask him."
Ebony opened the door and saw that it was indeed Lloyd.
He was using the key to open the door.
Ebony put her hands in the pockets, casually walking towards him.
Lloyd took a look at her, opened the door, and walked in.
Ebony followed him, got in, and then closed the door.
Lloyd seemed a little tired. He took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, and went to the table to pour water.
Ebony went to the sofa and sat down.
She asked him directly, "What's wrong?"
Lloyd took a sip of water, put down the cup, and said, "The heroine may have to be replaced."
Ebony was stunned, "What?"
Lloyd walked towards her and came sitting next to her. He said, "Dione violated the non-disclosure agreement and released the photo of the actors in the crew during filming. According to the regulation, the compensation amount is 10 million dollars. We have been talking about it the whole afternoon."
Ebony thought of the photo of her and Lloyd holding hands. She said, "You are referring to..."
"Yeah."
Lloyd sat down. He saw Ebony's hair was a little wet, so he asked, "Did you just take a shower?"
Ebony was still thinking about Dione, and subconsciously replied, "Yeah."
Lloyd retracted his gaze and said, "You may as well go to bed early."
Ebony glanced at him again and stood up from the sofa.
When she was about to leave, she turned her head looking at him, and asked, "How do you know that the photo was released by Dione?"
Lloyd quietly looked at her, without saying anything.
Ebony suddenly let out laughter. She shook her head and said, "Lloyd, you are so bad!"
After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.
The door was closed.
Lloyd lowered his eyes and couldn't help but chuckled as well.
Ebony hummed a song and returned to her room.
Seeing her coming back, Janet immediately said, "Ebony, Dolores called and said that they had smoothed the gossip over! The hand-holding photo has been explained as a photo from filming, and the previous official account, which failed to be refreshed, seems that it has been officially banned because it has been reported too many times."
Ebony chuckled.
Janet was puzzled. She asked, "Ebony?
Ebony shook her head and said, "Uh nothing."
An official account with a strong background. How could they ban it just because it was reported by others? Someone must pull strings to make it happen."
Ebony turned her head and looked in the direction of the room nextdoor.
Lloyd showed his hacking technique last night.
For him, finding out the origin of the photo was as easy as winking.
The next day.
The filming crew notified early in the morning that the production was suspended for a day.
Ebony was thinking about sleeping in, but she got a call from director Knapp, asking her to go to a meeting.
Ebony had to get up and take the script to the meeting.
The meeting place was in the screenwriter's room. As soon as Ebony entered, she saw that Lloyd was also there.
Director Knapp took a sip of water from the thermos cup and said, "Here you are!"
He motioned for Ebony to sit down, and then said, "You've already known what happened with Dione, right? Fortunately, the filming has just begun, so her plays can still be made up for."
Ebony asked curiously, "Director Knapp, do you really have to replace her?"
Director Knapp raised his head and looked at her seriously, "Does my filming crew seem like an unruly place?"
Ebony immediately shut up.
How could she forget that director Knapp was very strict when it comes to matters related to filming?
Director Knapp continued, "Let's put Elsie's scenes on hold, and shoot the scenes of you twos' first for now."
Ebony had no objection, and so did Lloyd.
Director Knapp looked at them all over, and he said, "Both of you are in a very unstable state. After discussing it with the screenwriter, we decided to focus on filming your intimate scenes first. We will shoot the bed scene in the eighteenth scene tomorrow.
Ebony immediately flipped out the script and looked for the plot.
Lloyd leaned against the sofa spinning a pen with his fingertip, and suddenly said, "It's difficult."
Director Knapp looked at him and frowned. He said, "If you are in the right mood, then there will be no difficulty. Ebony, what about you? Any questions?"
Ebony had already found the plot in the script.
She skimmed through the description. Then she raised her head, saying, "No question."
Director Knapp glared at Lloyd and said, "You heard what she said, right?"
Ebony also looked at Lloyd in the mean time, and she said to Lloyd seriously, "Lloyd, I hope you will act professionally."
Lloyd raised his eyebrows, looked at her for a moment. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will mark your words."
