"Mr. Han, look, I seem to be here to have fun?" Zhou Qiang spread his hands and said with a straight face.

"Mr. Zhou, take the liberty of asking, where did you hear this news you said?" Han Ziqiang pondered for a moment and asked the doubts in his heart, he thought that he was also well-informed in the entertainment industry, but he had never heard of Wang Mudong having a history of drug abuse.

Zhou Qiang saw this news from the future diary, but naturally he couldn't tell the other party about this, and after thinking for a while, he made up an excuse and said: "Mr. Han, the reason why I know this news is also because I know some friends in the entertainment industry and talked about it by chance, so it's not easy to reveal the identity of the other party." ”

"Mr. Zhou, I also have some connections in the entertainment industry, if you tell me where I heard the news, I can go and check it, and I can confirm this matter. Han Ziqiang asked.

In a movie, it is not easy to find a suitable actor, Wang Mudong is a popular student with a large number of fans, and Han Ziqiang is also very optimistic about the other party, so it is impossible to immediately agree to replace the other party because of Zhou Qiang's casual words.

"Mr. Han, if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself, but I won't reveal the identity of that friend, and besides, I don't have to lie to you, right?" Zhou Qiang frowned slightly, and a little dissatisfaction rose in his heart, no matter who was questioned, he would not be comfortable in his heart.

"Mr. Han, I think that this kind of thing would rather be believed than not believed, and it can't affect the whole movie because of an actor, if Wang Mudong really has a history of drug abuse, once he is caught, then it is still a question whether the movie can be released. Chu Chu said.

"I naturally understand what you say, but some things are not as simple as you think. Han Ziqiang sighed, in addition to his admiration for Wang Mudong, there is a more important reason why Wang Mudong can win this role

"Mr. Han, are you a producer, are there things you can't decide?" Chu Chuliu frowned slightly, and heard the meaning of Han Ziqiang's words.

"For a successful film, in addition to good production, the distribution and release schedule are also very important, and it is impossible for me, as a producer, to decide everything. Han Ziqiang shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless look.

"Mr. Han, do you mean that Wang Mudong has something to do with the distributor or distributor of the movie?" Chu Chu pondered for a moment and guessed.

Han Ziqiang hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "The entertainment industry is not big, it is not small, the relationship inside is not complicated, I know a Mr. Chen, he is the boss of Wang Mudong's artist agency and the major shareholder of a distribution company. ”

"You mean that if we don't use Wang Mudong as the leading actor, the release of the movie will not go well. Chu Chu's beautiful eyes turned, and he suddenly guessed the key.

"Not bad. Han Ziqiang nodded and continued: "Although this is just our verbal agreement, we are all people with status, and once I break my promise, it will definitely affect the next cooperation." ”

Han Ziqiang showed a wry smile, the mall is like a battlefield, it is not bad at all, the last moment it was still friends and collaborators, because of some accidents, and maybe even saying the wrong word, it will lead to the end of the cooperation, and it may even turn into a competitive relationship.

Chu Chu and Zhou Qiang glanced at each other, and thought that there was really something greasy in this.

"Since the Mr. Chen you mentioned is the owner of a certain brokerage company, then there may be other male artists under their banner, or let him change his choice. Zhou Qiang proposed.

"Brother Zhou, you're a layman when you say this. Han Ziqiang said a little disappreciatively.

"Mr. Han, you're right, the biggest advantage of me is that I am relatively well-informed, and when it comes to film investment, I'm really a layman. Zhou Qiang smiled, and didn't take Han Ziqiang's words to heart.

Seeing Zhou Qiang say so calmly, Han Ziqiang was a little surprised, and at the same time, Zhou Qiang's calm attitude couldn't help but make him look up and explain: "Mr. Zhou, let me tell you this, because this movie is a big production, so the cast is very strong, even if it is a supporting role, it can be regarded as a big bowl, so the requirements for the actor are very high, in addition to good appearance, In addition to having a unique temperament, it is also a popular student, these conditions are indispensable, pick and choose artists in the entertainment industry who meet these requirements, you can count them with a slap, most of the brokerage companies with different scores, Mr. Chen's artist brokerage company, it is impossible to find the second place.

"Isn't it okay to enable newcomers?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"The newcomer doesn't even have the appeal, how to attract the audience to buy tickets to enter the factory, and Mr. Chen has communicated with me, he is very optimistic about Wang Mudong's development, and he is also ready to vigorously cultivate Wang Mudong, as the main artist promoted by their agency, I believe that Mr. Chen will not give up easily. Han Ziqiang shook his head slightly and rejected Zhou Qiang's proposal again.

"Can you tell Mr. Chen that Wang Mudong has a history of drug abuse, as the owner of an artist agency, after knowing about this incident, he should not vigorously cultivate this artist. Chu Chu came up with an idea.

"This kind of thing, you can't talk nonsense without evidence, I met Mr. Chen through a friend's introduction, and we are not very familiar with each other, do you think he, as the boss of the agency, is he close to us, or close to his own artists, and if this news is not accurate, then the consequences are very serious, and we will completely offend people to death. Han Ziqiang said.

"In this way, it is really a bit of a problem. Chu Chu sighed, it should have been a joy to find a good film project, but now because of the choice of the leading actor, things have become a bit of a dilemma.

"That's right, I just foresaw this situation, that's why I asked just now, where did Mr. Zhou hear the news, as long as the source of the news can be determined, enough evidence can be found, and then Mr. Chen will have a look at the evidence, he will have nothing to say, and then he will block Wang Mudong himself without our proposal. Han Ziqiang said.

"Mr. Han, in this way, do you still want to continue to let Wang Mudong be the leading actor?" Chu Chu asked.

"Unless you can find evidence and give me a good reason, it will be a big loss to change the actor now. Han Ziqiang said.

"Actually, there is another way, not to change roles, but also to a certain extent, to ensure our interests. Zhou Qiang pondered for a moment and said solemnly.

"What way?" Han Ziqiang looked concerned.

Han Ziqiang did not replace Wang Mudong immediately, it does not mean that he does not want to change, nor does it mean that he is not worried, but because the cost of replacing Wang Mudong is too high, simply put, if Wang Mudong is not replaced, there may be a certain loss, but if Wang Mudong is replaced immediately, it will definitely suffer losses.

It's that people have a fluke mentality, and they naturally know how to choose.

"You can meet with that Mr. Chen, and then ask him to change the actor, if he doesn't agree, let's settle down and ask him to sign a contract to ensure our interests. Zhou Qiang proposed.

Han Ziqiang was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "What is the main content of that contract?"

"Very simply, if Wang Mudong had any negative reports and style problems before the release of the movie, which affected the release and reputation of the movie, the crew decided to delete the starring role and find someone to shoot on his behalf, and the losses caused would be borne by his agency. Zhou Qiang said.

Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Han Ziqiang and Chu Chu glanced at each other, and couldn't help nodding slightly, Zhou Qiang's method is not very clever, but it is very practical, it can prevent it from happening and ensure the interests of the producer.

"This method is possible, but it is not easy for Mr. Chen to speak, and it may not be easy to persuade him to sign such a clause. Han Ziqiang shook his head slightly and said with some concern.

"Mr. Han, you don't have to worry about this, introduce that Mr. Chen to me, and I will help you persuade him. Zhou Qiang Mao then recommended himself.

"You?" Han Ziqiang frowned slightly, revealing a questioning look.

"That's right, that's me. Zhou Qiang said firmly.

Han Ziqiang shook his head, a little unoptimistic about Zhou Qiang, and said, "That Mr. Chen, it's not easy to deal with, the first time you meet, can he listen to you?"

Zhou Qiang showed a smile, his old business is an intermediary industry, and he brings strange customers, what he does is to buy and sell without capital, just to make money with a mouth, and said with a smile: "Won't you know if you try it?" (To be continued.) )
