119 The Traitor 3 (1/2)
Everyone's jaw was practically on the floor. Even the crew members were shocked by this sudden rant from Lee Mu.
'Wait, isn't Lee Mu close friend with Joann? They're personal friends on top of being colleagues, aren't they?
'So what happened there? Was there a falling-off that we did not know about or the camaraderie was fake from the very beginning? In any case, it does sound like Joann has greatly offended Lee Mu somehow.
'Regardless, this is some juicy details. Tomorrow's headline, here I come!' These were the thoughts that swirled through the mind of the gathered reporters.
Lee Mu's tone was mirthless and his face was unsmiling. It did not look like he was kidding. He really did have issue with Joann.
Lee Mu powered on even though the director beside him was now openly pulling on his sleeve. The movie needed publicity but definitely not one like this!
The two main actors from the movie were already at each other's throat even before the shooting started officially? While admittedly that might boost ticket sales but the director failed to see how this scandal would help morale at the workplace.
The director had no idea why Lee Mu was acting like this. He was more than confused since he knew how amiable the relationship between his two main leads was. He could not understand why Lee Mu would slander his friend's reputation like this.
Lee Mu beside him continued to speak and the director had half a mind to smack the man on the back of his head. How much more do you wish to make this worse?!
”You asked me about my opinion about shooting another movie with her, right? That is the thing that I dread every morning when I wake up. The thought of going into set with that dreadful woman drains me so fully that some days I just wish to not get up from bed.
”In conclusion, I hate every single moment that I've worked alongside that woman because she is the most unprofessional, hateful and arrogant actor I've had the displeasure to work with. I would rather die than to continue our working relationship but the contract has been signed so there's that.”
The director directly pulled Lee Mu's microphone away before he piled on the already heavy damage.
The hall erupted in chaos. The reporters surged forward to push their recorders at Lee Mu. Endless questions were tossed at the man.
”How long have you felt this way?”
”How do you think this will affect the sequel?”
”Can you give us more examples of Miss Joann Fong's atrocious behavior that you cannot stand?”
”What about the good relationship that you have shared with Miss Joann Fong? Has that been a pretense from the very beginning or was there a recent incident that trigger this sudden shift in your relationship?”
The security tried their best to hold the group of reporters back but they still managed to inch closer and closer to the table. The manpower was definitely not enough to stop the roomful of reporters who were hungry for news.
