Chapter 237
Resignation
"A person you can't afford to offend! Lan Qing, I know you are a smart person. Replace Chi Tang and stop meddling in other people's business!" Mr. Chen said mysteriously, his deep eyes staring at Lan Qing for a moment. .
After a moment of silence, Lan Qing opened her lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, I want to think about it. If Nan Yan is cast as the female lead, this drama may not be a hit. I also need to communicate with Teacher Xu. I also want to Guaranteed box office appeal.”
"Okay, you think about it slowly! Anyway, as long as Chi Tang stars, I won't invest a penny!" Putting down his words, Mr. Chen left.
Director Wan and Lan Qing looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy.
Director Wan was still a little angry and said with displeasure: "Sister Lan, is it possible that you are going to be led by the investors? Everyone knows at a glance that Nan Yan's role as the female lead is ruining the drama and a waste. What's the point of making such a movie if you have such a good script? Not to mention winning awards, the box office is a problem, and the investors are deliberately making things difficult for you."
Lan Qing frowned helplessly, "It's hard to find funds these days. In our industry, it's not professionals who have the final say. It's basically still in the hands of capital."
After thinking for a while, Director Wan said solemnly: "You want to compromise? If so, I will have to resign as director. I have to be worthy of my reputation and the audience who like my works. Then let the capital play its own role. I don’t want to waste my efforts. Sister Lan, I hope you still know how to cherish your feathers."
"Director Wan, don't be impulsive. I'll think of a way! I really like Chi Tang and admire her acting skills. I even want this drama to win the best picture and win more awards." At this moment, Lan Qing is still quite calm. , there was also a hint of ghostly wave in his eyes.
Suddenly, Director Wan stood up and looked at Lan Qing, "I'm leaving first. If you have any news, give me a call. If such a good script is ruined, I would be very distressed and feel uncomfortable. However, filmmakers I am also very aware of the helplessness. Therefore, it is really an honor to meet a good crew!"
Lan Qing said nothing and nodded.
Lan Qing understood Wan Dao's mood very well, and Lan Qing felt equally uncomfortable!
……
Lan Qing contacted several investors with whom he had good cooperation, but they all immediately expressed no intention to invest.
If Mr. Chen wants to withdraw his capital, [-] million will be lost all of a sudden. The crew will definitely not be able to start the production normally and will have to put it on hold.
However, the actors' schedules have been negotiated, which will involve some compensation. Lan Qing is not willing to see this result.
Lan Qing frowned as she had a headache.
As a last resort, Lan Qing called Teacher Xu first.
"There was an accident in the cooperation. The investors asked for the female lead to be changed to Nan Yan. Teacher Xu, is it okay for you to partner with Nan Yan?"
Xu Junze said without hesitation: "I don't want to film with Nan Yan! Sister Lan, if she plays Wei Wushuang, I'm sorry, I will resign!"
"Teacher Xu, you can think about it carefully before replying to me."
Xu Junze said firmly: "Don't think about it, I won't cooperate with the joint venture's manipulation. Anyone who is an expert will understand that Nan Yan is really not suitable to play Wei Wushuang. She was forced on you by the joint venture. Sorry, I don't want to When working with such people, I despise unfair corner grabbing from the bottom of my heart."
"We don't need Nanyan. Mr. Chen wants to withdraw capital. For a while, I can't find other investors. Teacher Xu, you should have felt that this matter is not simple. Someone is targeting Chi Tang."
Xu Junze sneered, "Nothing in this industry is pure! Sister Lan, if you really want to make a good film of "Heroes" without using Nanyan and dare to fight with the management to the end, I can invest in this film. If you don't have enough money, I will The villa is mortgaged, so there will always be a way."
Lan Qing raised a faint smile in relief, "Teacher Xu, thank you very much for your support and your thoughtfulness! But I hope you can understand that this is a big production and requires a lot of investment. What you can do alone is limited.
Even if it can be started normally, post-production is still a huge expense.There are also announcements, etc., which are not simple matters.Mr. Chen revealed to me that I cannot afford to offend anyone who deliberately targets Chi Tang, and I am afraid of implicating you. "
Xu Juanze frowned and narrowed his deep eyes, "Even if someone covers the sky with one hand, we should work hard to break this shackles and cannot coerce those people. Sister Lan, are you willing to give up your persistence? Can you bear to give up? All your hard work turned out to be in vain?"
Lan Qing was silent.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
The caller ID was Ni Xiao.
Lan Qing didn't answer the call and let the phone continue to ring, "Teacher Xu, give me some time to think about it." "Okay! Sister Lan, I really like the script of "Heroes", and it was shot by director Wan. It must be a good movie, and our original intention of making the movie should not be ignored, and we cannot follow the trend. If there are difficulties, we can find solutions together."
Lan Qing nodded slightly, "I'll try my best!"
After hanging up the landline, Lan Qing picked up the mobile phone on the table.
Immediately, he called Ni Xiao back.
"Mr. Ni, do you have anything to do with me?"
Ni Xiao got straight to the point and said, "Sister Lan, let's meet. I want to talk to you."
Instantly, Lan Qing's eyebrows flashed with a smile, "Okay!"
"I'll wait for you at the Mount Lake Golf Course."
"See you later!"
……
Wansong Shopping Center.
Chitang and Duoduo have completed the task of collecting stamps.
On the way to the meeting point, I came across an ice cream shop. Duoduo stopped and refused to leave.
Chi Tang held Duoduo's hand, but Duoduo also shook it off.
Duoduo observed Mommy's expression with inquiring eyes, pursed her lips, and said coldly with displeasure: "Mommy, I want to eat ice cream! If you don't buy it for me, I won't leave. ”
"Are you really not leaving? Do you want to live here?" Chi Tang looked at his son calmly, really wanting to pinch that angry little face.
Duoduo looked serious and said seriously: "You buy me ice cream, no matter how hard it is, you can't hurt the child!"
Pfft... Chi Tang laughed!
Suddenly, the barrage in the live broadcast room scrolled with many emoticons, and the live broadcast room became lively again.
[Duoduo is right, no matter how hard it is, the child cannot suffer, he must eat ice cream! 】
[Yes, life needs a little sweetness! !Hahaha! ! ! 】
【Duoduo is so cute!Tang Ma, just buy him ice cream! 】
[My sister’s refrigerator has a lot of ice cream. Come to my sister’s house more often! 】
[I also have a lot of ice cream at my house, as well as lollipops, cheese sticks, and many small snacks. You can eat whatever you want. Welcome to my house! 】
Duoduo's eyes moved lively.
Suddenly, a butt sat on the ground.
"I want to eat ice cream. If you don't buy it for me, I won't get up! Humph!" Duo Duo folded her chubby little hands on her chest and tilted her head to one side.
Chi Tang looked at Duoduo sideways, raised a sweet smile, and made a scissor hand to shoot a video, "There is a child here who likes to lose his temper. I want to post it in my wallet for ten yuan. Does anyone want it?"
After a moment of silence, Lan Qing opened her lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, I want to think about it. If Nan Yan is cast as the female lead, this drama may not be a hit. I also need to communicate with Teacher Xu. I also want to Guaranteed box office appeal.”
