019 The height of morality
"Heh, the future?" Chen Hui stepped out, with a sneer on his face, "A filmmaker's future doesn't need the charity of you industry moths!"
"Art does not allow money to be defiled!"
"Even if I don't have a star gimmick, I can still make a work that the audience will love!"
Luo Chen couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, looking at the indignant and heroic young director, he had a strong resonance in his heart, but he couldn't stop giving birth to many worries.
Sure enough, when Zhang Jinhua heard those unrealistic rhetoric, she instantly became less angry, but laughed instead, with obvious sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "For the sake of your immediate family members at the top of Tianhe, I wanted to persuade you a few more words." But since you are so ambitious, I will not speak in vain. ”
"To be honest, where is our family Hanhan not fragrant?
"Let the in-house counsel talk to us! If you can get millions of liquidated damages, and you can watch a joke during the National Day file, why not?"
Zhang Jinhua kicked away the chair, holding the folder, and Shi Shiran left.
"Hmph!" Shao Han was still upset, glanced at everyone, and followed with his chin up.
The studio was silent for a while, as long as anyone with a brain could understand the seriousness of the matter.
The power of public opinion is terrifying! Especially for people in the entertainment industry.
That little fresh meat Shao Han's Weibo fans are hundreds of millions, and after this incident, under the impetus of people with intentions, I am afraid that it will set off storms on the Internet.
Chen Hui himself, and even the entire crew, will be pushed to the cusp.
The word-of-mouth of the movie, I'm afraid it's really going to stink before it is broadcast......
The atmosphere is a bit depressing, and the faces of several supporting characters are not good-looking. The success or failure of the movie is directly linked to their interests, and when things get to this point, dissatisfaction is inevitable.
The field manager Lao Xu sighed, pulled Chen Hui to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Director Chen, you are a little irrational this time!"
"Although film is called the seventh art, it is the one that needs the most capital investment. At that time, many manufacturers invested because of Shao Han's fame......"
"Of course, we all believe in your strength!
Chen Hui stiffened his face and did not respond. Instead, he looked down at the script and kept thinking about something.
Everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.
At this time, a young female assistant suddenly ran in, and when she saw so many people inside, her expression became even more restrained, and she stumbled and said, "Guide...... Director, no! Several sponsors have just called and said they want to withdraw their funds......
"What? these TMD bastards!" Lao Xu stood up abruptly and took the document handed over by the female assistant, "I withdrew a few yesterday, and I will withdraw today, and I won't let people film!"
There was a commotion in the studio, and Chen Hui finally came back to his senses from his contemplation, and said with a blank face: "Show me." ”
In the end, six of the original seven investment companies have withdrawn, and only one beverage company called "Chengcheng Lejiu" is still holding on.
Chen Hui lowered his head and calculated, plus Tianhe's own funds, a total of less than 5 million.
In this era when making a film can easily cost hundreds of millions, 5 million is just like a joke......
Chen Hui took a breath, thought for a while, and laughed at himself, "Everyone has also seen the current situation, the crew is almost at the end of the mountain." ”
"As much as I don't want to elevate the issues to the level of intellectual morality, now I'm left with them......"
"All the actors are enthusiastic to support me Chen Hui, but now I can only afford one-tenth of the original salary, and the whole film will be reduced to the point where there are no special effects. ”
The crowd listened silently, and many were already frowning.
"Fortunately, there is someone above me!" Chen Hui sneered, his voice still continuing, "Tianhe will not let me go to jail for liquidated damages." Everyone needs to eat, and I don't say anything about moral kidnapping, if you want to quit, you can raise it now, and the liquidated damages will be paid according to the original salary!"
Many second- and third-tier actors glanced at each other, and probably more than half of them stood up.
"Director Chen, I'm really sorry! A few days ago, the company urged me because of a new play, so I won't make trouble for you here. ”
"Director Chen, my mother needs a lot of money for cancer, I'm really sorry!"
"Director Chen, let's be honest! I have offended so many people, there is no hope for your film, listen to my advice, give up! By the way, you can talk to my assistant about liquidated damages. ”
It didn't take long for the studio to fall silent.
Chen Hui looked at the few people who were left, and suddenly had tears in his eyes, and then raised his face and laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that there were really people left, you made me see the hope of humanity!"
"That, director! I'm a makeshift cameo performer, with a salary of less than 200 yuan a day. I thought about it, you said that the salary should be reduced to 10%, but you can't only give 20 yuan a day, right? That is a violation of labor law...... That's why I'm not leaving!" said a festive-looking man who stood up, joking or really thinking so.
Chen Hui almost suffocated to death, crying and laughing, "Okay, I'll take back what I just said! Brother, you are really honest enough, your salary will not change, just pay!"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the depressed atmosphere was much weaker.
"By the way, Mr. Luo Chen, why didn't you leave?" Chen Hui was a little curious, and asked half-jokingly: "With your skills, you can eat with any crew you go to, could it be that you also fell in love with the two hundred yuan?"
"Director Chen, we have a long-term contract!" Luo Chen smiled, his expression calm, "Moreover, in response to what you just said, I decided to stay and help you." ”
"I almost forgot about this!" Chen Hui tapped his temples with a playful expression, "You are just a martial artist, action scenes only account for a small part of the movie, no matter how good you are, you can't change anything." ”
"Moreover, if my debut film messes up, with the situation in front of me, I won't have the face to stay in the film and television industry anymore. ”
"That long-term contract is also a null and void, but it delays yourself. ”
Luo Chen picked the corners of his mouth and asked, "Is Director Chen bent on persuading me to leave?"
Chen Hui laughed, his eyes brightened, "No, I'm confirming who is the real friend!"
"I can't talk about my friends yet, it's just pleasing to the eye!" Luo Chen chuckled, not giving face at all.
"It's enough to be pleasing to the eye!" Chen Hui shook his head with a wry smile and regained his spirits.
"Moreover, who said that action scenes can't support a film, since the budget is so low, it's better to have a tight-paced kung fu movie that returns to the basics!" Luo Chen saw that the time was ripe, and finally said what he thought in his heart.
