Trembling At A High Altitude

The director had already made it clear that the other seven lots were blank, and that once the "Traitor Leader" was drawn, the drawing of lots would immediately come to an end; thus, Liu Huang playing the role of the Traitor Leader was a done deal.

The identity of the Traitor Leader had to be revealed to everyone.

After Liu Huang showed everyone the lot he drew as the Traitor Leader, he also publicly announced his chosen collaborator to play the role of the lackey.

He chose Huang Xun.

"Thank you, Doctor Liu! Thank you, Boss! The boss is mighty and brilliant! This is the boss's acknowledgment of me! I will definitely do my utmost to help the boss win this confrontation!" Huang Xun was extremely excited.

During the last performance, Feng Dahai had chosen Du Qing from the same guild to play the role of the lackey. That role was very safe; it allowed complete freedom and did not require the actor to be punished along with other editors.

That was the role most suited for him as the "Think Tank"!

Of course, Huang Xun, who was supposed to be an inside helper in the last performance, should not have been punished either, but when Feng Dahai got ruthless, he even hit his own people, and Huang Xun could only consider himself unlucky.

This time, in the performance, he became the lackey right next to the Traitor Leader, which meant he wouldn't be tied up and naturally would not be punished.

Anna, Elsa, Gao Fei, and the others showed varied expressions when they saw Liu Huang choose Huang Xun as his deputy.

Wouldn't Liu Huang end up being sabotaged by Huang Xun again?

This seemed like the only hope for Li Teng to turn the tables.

"Next, we need to decide on the actors for the six roles of the newspaper editors."

"The six newspaper editors' pen names, which are also their roles, are: Anna, Elsa, Mickey, Gao Fei, Donna, and Daisy," the director continued.

"Please choose a role that suits you from these names," the director went on to say.

As such, Li Teng was still Donna, Anna remained Anna, Elsa remained Elsa, and Gao Fei was still Gao Fei,

With Huang Xun becoming Liu Huang's lackey, Du Qing could only take on Mickey, the role Huang Xun had played in the previous performance.

The Bunny Girl then became the successor to Daisy.

Iron cast troupes, flowing water actors; everyone looked at the new Daisy with a feeling that was hard to articulate.

Just as the director was about to continue with the plot, a black SUV drove over from a distant street corner, slowly stopping in front of the café.

Several bodyguards emerged from the black SUV, and a tall man in black wearing a metal mask got out last, surrounded by the bodyguards as he approached the café.

The Black-hearted Doctor, Liu Huang, looked at the newcomer with a face full of anticipation and excitement.

"I am Supervisor No. 1365 from the Film and Television City Inspection Department," the man approached the director and presented his ID.

"We are in the middle of shooting, may I ask what brings you here?" the director asked Supervisor No. 1365.

"We have received a complaint suggesting that your troupe is suspected of violating personnel rules; the Inspection Department has dispatched me to investigate and deal with the complainant and the parties involved," Supervisor No. 1365 explained his presence.

"Could you be more specific? I am not quite clear on this," the director continued to inquire.

"Based on our preliminary investigation, during your last Hell Mode performance, you used your authority to apply to the higher-ups for a 'Companion Card' as a reward, which you gave to an actor in your troupe."

"This actor used the 'Companion Card' to summon a doctor from the Film and Television City Hospital into your troupe, and this doctor, as an employee of the Film and Television City, was unwilling to join the troupe as an actor. He has lodged a complaint with the Film and Television City Inspection Department, and you are the subject of the complaint. Do you have any objections to what I've said?"

The Supervisor No. 1365 stopped here.

Li Teng has no right to make complaints, nor does he have the right to be complained against, his only right is to be punished.

Therefore, the only object of Liu Huang's complaint could be the director of the drama troupe Li Teng belonged to.

"No objections, the rewarded one is an extra in my troupe, and the prop card was indeed awarded to him by me. The prop card will be used on a friend who is quite close to him but has already received food earlier, enabling that friend to temporarily break free from the 'wax figure seal' and perform with him once more. However, I did not expect him to make a choice beyond my expectations within the rules allowed, pulling Doctor Liu into the troupe. All this was not my subjective wish, and all my operations were without any violations, so I take no responsibility for this matter," the director disclaimed all relations.

Black-hearted Doctor Liu Huang was somewhat dissatisfied with the director's defense but, being an employee of the Film and Television City, he did not dare to interject at this time. If he spoke out of turn without the Supervisor asking him directly, it would leave a very bad impression on the Supervisor.

"Which one of you is the complainant?" Supervisor No. 1365 turned and looked toward the group of actors.

"It's me." Liu Huang quickly stood up.

"You complain that the director abused his power and demand the cancellation of the compulsory summoning of the prop card on you. But according to the rules of the Film and Television City, a prop card that has already taken effect cannot be canceled. If there is an issue of director's abuse of power, it will be dealt with seriously after the performance according to the rules. Do you have any other demands now? Do you feel that the director has made any unjust arrangement in the scene you are about to play or in the plot, or that he has limited the rights you are entitled to at your level?" Supervisor No. 1365 asked Liu Huang.

"The act of pulling me into the troupe, the director definitely abused his power! I trust the Supervision Department will handle it with a fair and just outcome. Since the prop card that has already taken effect can't be canceled, I can only reluctantly perform in today's scene. As for the director's arrangement of my role and plot as well as the rights I enjoy at my level, I have not yet found any violations. However, I've heard from other actors in the troupe that the director took particular care of a certain extra in earlier performances, which has gone beyond the normal relationship that should exist between a director and actors. I also hope that the Supervision Department will regulate such behavior," Liu Huang answered Supervisor No. 1365 with great respect.

If he had not drawn the role of Traitor Leader, Liu Huang definitely would not be saying this. Since he did draw the role of Traitor Leader, he now had the control of the plot, and he had nothing to worry about for today's performance.

"I want to report! This doctor bullied new actors, exploiting the urgency of newcomers who were seriously injured and in need of treatment and forced the patients to sign high-priced treatment loan applications to seek personal gain for himself! He also tortured patients on the operating table with pointless non-anesthetized vivisections!" Anna raised her hand and spoke out.

"The actions of this Doctor Liu are simply beyond the bottom line of being human! I urge the Supervision Department to investigate his previous serious illegal actions! Especially what he did to the new actors was utterly inhumane!" Seeing Anna speak out, Gao Fei followed suit.

"Yes, such inhumane deeds are definitely not allowed in the Film and Television City, don't let this bad doctor ruin the reputation of the Film and Television City!" Anna spoke again.

"Silence! Who allowed you to interrupt the leader's conversation? You people of your level have no right to make accusations! If you dare to speak out of turn again, I will punish you severely!" The director stopped Anna and Gao Fei before Supervisor No. 1365 could become angry.

"Alright, you may continue. I will come back after the performance is over." Supervisor No. 1365 glanced at the director and then turned, returning to his black SUV with his bodyguards. After the car doors closed, the black SUV quickly vanished from the street.

"Hahaha... a bunch of novices who don't know how high the sky is! Novices who don't even have the right to speak! Daring to report on me! That's just hilarious!" Liu Huang burst into laughter.

Anna, Gao Fei, and Li Teng all had ugly looks on their faces.

Too low in status, too inexperienced, they had no right to speak in the Film and Television City.

But it was no surprise, such things were all too common in the real world.

"Silence!"

The director spoke, and everyone quieted down.

"Now, let's continue with the explanation of today's plot."

"The scene we are about to shoot will take a total of two hours."

"The plot takes place ten years after the last scene."

"Because in the last scene, the revolutionaries were brave and unyielding, using wisdom and courage, even sacrificing their own lives to defeat the Traitor Leader, successfully protecting the Underground Worker, and helping the revolution to achieve the final victory."

"Ten years later, New China was established."

"The people have become the masters."

"The Traitor Leader and his lackeys were captured and indicted for their crimes..."
