Chapter 17: The Problem

"He used to be my assistant director, and he was fired from the company for helping a wealthy businessman pimp." Chen Guoli said disdainfully.

"Just pimping? Director Chen, you're not real. "What is the entertainment industry like, although Zhu Ziqing has not had an in-depth understanding, he also knows a thing or two.

Private flesh transactions should not be too common, and it is not a matter for the director's assistant to help people pimp. How could it be possible to be expelled for this reason.

Of course, he's not saying how dark the entertainment industry is. It's just not as glamorous as it seems. Most of the unspoken rules, flesh dealings, and the like are what you want.

Those who have the resources will generally tempt them with generous conditions such as money and opportunities for important roles.

If that star can't resist the temptation, he will naturally fall in. If you can stick to your heart, no one will force it. It's just that the road is a little harder.

As written in the novel, it can't be said that there is nothing like anyone who likes it, but it is definitely rare.

If Yu Buxiang was fired for pimping, it would definitely be causing trouble. But now that he is still mixing so well in the entertainment industry, it is obviously not the case. It must have been expelled for something else.

Looking at Chen Guoli's hesitant appearance, it was not difficult for Zhu Ziqing to guess that the biggest reason for Yu Buhuan's expulsion was him.

After being silent for a while, Chen Guoli finally told the truth of the matter: "The target of his pimping is the investor of that play, and the purpose is to use the investor to replace my position." ”

"Can investors decide on the director of the crew?" Zhu Ziqing said in surprise.

The opinion of the investor is very important, the smaller the company, the less famous the crew, and the greater the investor's right to speak. However, this does not include Chenghai Entertainment.

As one of the giants in the domestic entertainment industry, Chenghai Entertainment generally sets up projects and then invests them. The behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew are basically designated by the company.

Investors can only interject in the selection of actors. And it's just some characters that aren't particularly important. Important roles, such as the hero and heroine, are still in the hands of the crew.

If the investor is not satisfied, he has to interfere in the important decisions of the crew. That's simple, swap it out. There is no shortage of investors behind Chenghai Entertainment, and there are a lot of people waving banknotes waiting to squeeze in.

So. Now Chen Guoli said that Yu Bu was in harmony with investors to replace him, and he felt strange. It's even stranger than being pimped out.

"So I just used a little trick to get this matter to the top, and the company fired him." Chen Guoli took Zhu Ziqing to the elevator and pressed the rising arrow.

This kind of large company has its own rules, and they will not be merciful to those who dare to break the rules.

"Later, why did he become a director again? Why are you staying in the same hotel again today? Zhu Ziqing asked.

"This man has no shortage of ability and skill. When he was in the company, he helped people pimp a lot of rich people, and after he was fired, he pulled investment to shoot a TV series. The ratings turned out to be not bad. Slowly got up. Chen Guoli said angrily:

"After the filming of our crew, we came to this hotel to rest. I don't know how he heard the news. also moved in with his crew. The result is what you see now. ”

Why else, people are here to take revenge. It was your little brother back then, and the rebellion was suppressed. Even lost their jobs. It's not bad now, it looks better than you. Naturally, I want to come and show off. Zhu Ziqing could only think about this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it to his face.

"You're worried about this?"

"Of course not, how could I worry about such a person." Chen Guoli denied.

However, under Zhu Ziqing's gaze, he had to change his words: "Okay, I do have something to do with him." It's not very big, though. What really worries me is the issue with the release of Soldier Assault. ”

"What's wrong with the release? This can be regarded as the main theme TV series. Could it be that it will get us stuck? Zhu Ziqing asked puzzled.

"I'm not talking about auditing, I'm talking about ...... Let me tell you this. Until now, no TV station has come to us. Our films probably won't sell. Chen Guoli said a little anxiously.

"Not a single one?" Zhu Ziqing frowned and asked.

This result is really similar to the previous life. In the previous life, "Soldier Assault" faced the same problem, and finally had to be sold to a local station.

In this life, because of the dispute between Shi Qingyun and a certain actor, "Soldier Assault" has been popular for a long time.

In addition, the original author is also famous. He thought things would change. I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Not a single one. For ordinary dramas, before the filming was completed, a TV station sent a letter of intent asking to watch the film. For better or for worse. There will be one or two that are interested. But there is no family in this drama so far. Chen Guoli said with an ugly face:

"Not only is there no TV station interested, but no one in the media is paying attention to us."

Zhu Ziqing finally knew why Chen Guoli was worried, and everyone was worried about this matter. Not only was he worried, but knowing the reason, Zhu Ziqing was also worried.

Although there is experience in a past life. But experience is dead after all. And the predicament he faced was real.

He knew the show would be a hit, but so what? Could it be that running to others and shouting that this drama will create a ratings miracle? Others will just blast him away as a madman.

No matter how good the filming is, it is useless if no TV station is willing to broadcast it. Is it really the same as in the previous life, just find a TV station to broadcast it? Zhu Ziqing was definitely unwilling.

But there is no solution after thinking about it, he is still an authentic newcomer in the entertainment industry, and his connections are none.

It would be nice to switch to the music field, where people would come to me waving money and begging me. Zhu Ziqing sighed in his heart. It's a pity that this is not the field of music, but the field of film and television. He hasn't proven himself in this field yet.

Just as they were distracted, they heard a 'ding' sound of an idea, and it turned out that the elevator had reached the floor where they lived.

The crew is also a crew without attention, and in order to avoid being disturbed, they directly contracted a room on the first floor.

Knowing that he was about to meet with the crew, Zhu Ziqing repacked his mood. If you can't let everyone see what you're thinking, it will only affect morale and won't play any role.

Getting off the elevator, Zhu Ziqing looked left and right. There was no one in the hallway. No, where have all the people gone? Could it be that everyone is hiding in their rooms and not even going out of the door when they are resting?

Chen Guoli saw his doubts and explained: "Everyone knows that you are coming, so they are waiting for you in the conference room. ”

It is said to be a conference room, but it is actually the largest room on this floor. The crew used this room as a conference room.

When Zhu Ziqing pushed open the door and walked in, the important people in the crew were waiting for him there.

"Mr. Zhu, you're here."

"Hello Mr. Zhu."

"Hello Director Zhu."

Just pushed open the door. Before he could speak, Zhu Ziqing was drowned out by a warm greeting. More than 20 people in the room got up one after another, and you came up to say hello as soon as you said a word.

There must be more than these people in the crew, they are all more important people in the crew, and the general drama is not qualified to sit in at all.

"Hello everyone, hello everyone." was welcomed, and Zhu Ziqing was also very happy. The sorrow just now was suddenly forgotten.

While greeting everyone, we walked towards the house. A few nimble-eyed dramatists stood up to make room for them. Zhu Ziqing was not polite, thanked him and sat down.

"Sit down, everybody. We're all acquaintances, so you don't have to be so restrained when you see me. "Sit down. Zhu Ziqing joked.

"Mr. Zhu, you are the biggest star among us, how can we not be restrained in front of you." Shi Qingyun relied on the good relationship between the two and took the lead in speaking.

"Okay, you Shi Qingyun, I remember you. Wait, the little shoes that you won't be able to wear in the future. Zhu Ziqing pretended to be angry.

"Haha...... Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhu in advance. Everyone help me testify, Mr. Zhu just said that he will find me to film in the future. lest he repent when the time comes. Shi Qingyun said with a laugh.

"Alas...... Stop, I have to make it clear, when did I say that I would find you to film in the future. Zhu Ziqing interrupted him and said.

"Just now. You said you were going to give me little shoes to wear. ”

"Then explain to me, what does wearing small shoes have to do with filming?"

"Absolutely. This drama has been completed, and you can't put on small shoes for me, so you can only wait for the next play. Mr. Zhu, don't you mean that you will still find me to film in the future? I can't deny what I've just said. Shi Qingyun said proudly.

"You...... Okay, there's yours. Black can be said to be white, if you kid put it in ancient times, it would be a proper traitor. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.

Zhu Ziqing didn't even notice it. He is several years younger than Shi Qingyun, but how impolite it is to call others a brat.

Strangely, he didn't notice it. There were so many people there who didn't notice it. No one felt awkward either. It's as if it's natural for him to call Shi Qingyun a kid.

The reason is very simple, although he didn't have much time in the crew, he unconsciously used his strength to establish his prestige.

Shi Qingyun said that he was the biggest name in the crew, which is actually not wrong. The entire crew is newcomers.

Director Chen Guoli is still a little famous in the industry, but this fame is only for insiders. For the audience. He's just a green onion.

Only Zhu Ziqing, relying on his works and songs, has become a little famous.

"Mr. Zhu won't be ready to admit it." Shi Qingyun asked jokingly, but the hand in his pocket was clenched tightly.

"Okay, okay, even if I say it, it's okay. You......" Zhu Ziqing shook his head and laughed out loud.

"Haha...... Thank you, Mr. Zhu. Shi Qingyun said loudly.

No one around laughed at him, but they all looked at him with envy, eager to change places with him.

All of you here are young actors with no background, and it is difficult to mix a role with a head and a face. But if someone takes care of it, that's a different story.

Although Zhu Ziqing is not a big star in the entertainment industry, he still has the ability to take care of actors like them.

It's just that they don't know each other well with Zhu Ziqing, and their cheeks are not as thick as Shi Qingyun's. The opportunity to hug your thighs was wasted.

"Well, the joke is over. Let's get down to business. Zhu Ziqing's face changed and said seriously. (To be continued.) )
