Chapter 89: Confrontation and Turnaround
Zhang Aixuan is the most imposing person on the side of "The Last Wing", she told the other party that it is impossible to give up the venue, because they also rented the venue, according to the first-come, first-served rule, the crew of "Thousands of Opportunities" can only go to the management to get the rent back. Besides, the scenes of "The Last Wing" have been set up, and it is not reasonable to evacuate at this time.
At this time, a few more people came to this playground. Among the people who came were the managers of the venue, there were some other people from the crew of "Thousands of Machines", followed by the panicked Tang Xiangwan and Bivis. Now, it's lively.
Seeing that the people of the other crew were menacing, Shen Bing hurriedly dragged the administrator over and asked for his explanation. The administrator had no temper on his face, and the more he lost his temper, the more scoundrel he became, and he actually said to Shen Bing and the others without changing his face: "That's the case, your crew is in this place where the group was formed a week ago, but you didn't come and didn't register." Yesterday, their crew offered a higher price, and they came directly to register, so it stands to reason that this place is theirs now. But you two can discuss the money, or something, so I can return it to you. โ
Money?! It's a big face!
Shen Bing said angrily: "When did they come to rent?!" โ
Administrator: "It was last night. โ
"Our crew arrived here yesterday afternoon, and you rented it to them again in the evening, do you have a conscience!"
The Administrator pushed her away, "Why do you talk like that, girl...... I sued them, and they insisted on renting. โ
"Then why don't you consult with us?!"
Tang Xiangwan translated the original story of the incident to Bivis and Duke, and the two were also stunned. After completing the translation work, she was extremely panicked, and saw Shen Bing questioning the scoundrel, but they were all bounced back softly, and she felt even more aggrieved. She is a daughter, and she has never suffered such grievances when she was in a foreign country. A crew's drama is about to start filming, but another crew is competing for a venue? She had never heard of such a ridiculous thing.
She ran to Shen Bing's side, pointed to the leader of the other party and said, "You are also the crew of Zhongtang, believe it or not, I will make a phone call and call someone to take care of you!" โ
Damn, my eldest lady!
Shen Bing and Zhang Aixuan hurriedly pulled Tang Xiangwan to the back. Watching Zhang Aixuan continue to reason with those people, Tang Xiangwan broke free of Shen Bing's hand and asked her, "Why are you stopping me!" โ
Shen Bing sighed, "That brother of yours must be towards their crew." As for your sister, if you don't say that, I would like to ask her for help, but when you say that, wouldn't it be true that she would help again? It's like she used her private power to protect her shortcomings......"
Tang Xiangwan lowered his head depressedly, "What should I do then...... It's just that they're wrong! โ
"It's not a question of who's right and who's wrong."
Shen Bing looked at the field staff in the back. Those who gathered from the local area already understood the facts and status quo that the crew was facing. They are paid daily wages, and they can only get paid after working for a day, and in such a state of confrontation, it is a question mark whether they can continue to work, let alone whether they can get their money at night. As a result, there was also a commotion among the field staff. And the foreign members of the crew were even more frightened one by one, and they had ever encountered this situation? Not to mention that even direct communication is full of obstacles.
By this time, it was already dawn. Outside the elementary school, there were a few nearby residents who watched the excitement, and while eating melon seeds, they watched Zhang Aixuan fight fiercely with a group of men with the strength of one person. Shen Bing's heart moved, and he left Tang Xiangwan to appease Director Duke, and walked to the other party's collective, "You said that the actors are almost in place, what about them?" โ
The leader looked at his watch, "It's about half past seven, it's seven twenty." โ
Shen Bing walked to the gate of the primary school alone, waiting for the arrival of the other party's actors the way he came. A natural tuyere happened to be formed at the school gate, and Shen Bing was blown by the northwest wind, and he shrunk his neck and moved to other positions, but the situation did not improve much.
Her down jacket only reached her thighs, and underneath it was only a pair of thin pajama pants, shivering in the breeze. Cold is still secondary, as an artist, appearing in this style, if a photo is taken and posted on the Internet, it is really not very elegant. Although Zhang Aixuan is the same, the difference is that Zhang Aixuan is still mediating between the two crews, and Shen Bing's surroundings are ......
They were all onlookers in the village.
Shen Bing heard two old men next to him talking about himself, and said, this girl is very good-looking, is she an actress? The other said that it looked like it, but he didn't know it, so he probably ran the show.
Shen Bing mourned for himself in silence in his heart and continued to stand in the wind. However, for the onlookers, even if it is a trick, the actors who are close at hand are more exciting than the big stars who are far away, and the tricks usually have no shelves. As a result, passers-by became more bold in their discussions about Shen Bing. After a while, an old lady walked up to Shen Bing with her hands behind her back.
"Girl, you're a star, aren't you?"
Shen Bing remembered the words he was taught when he had dinner with Zhang Aixuan, and said loudly: "No, I'm just an actor." โ
The old lady covered her mouth and smiled, "I can see it." How else would they spend you on the wind? โ
This is quite awkward to hear, and I don't know if it's because I feel that I am not facing a star, so this old man doesn't need to think about it when he speaks.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm ......" Shen Bing didn't want to continue the conversation with her, squinted and looked ahead, and finally saw a large van with fog lights driving towards her. Shen Bing smiled, "I'm waiting for big stars." โ
"There's a star?"
Shen Bing pointed to a few actors who stepped down from the van, "Yes, the beauty at the front has tens of millions of fans." โ
In the enthusiasm of the masses ignited in an instant, Shen Bing walked towards the star beauty, Sun Keren. In stark contrast to Shen Bing's sloppiness, Sun Keren coiled his hair on the top of his head, forming a Korean loose hair style that has become quite popular recently, and carried a limited-edition bag, even in the haze, showing the style of a big name.
Shen Bing waved his hand from afar, "Yo! Sun Keren! โ
Sun Keren was thundered by her local greeting, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he walked towards her quickly, "What's the matter?" I heard that the two crews were fighting? โ
"If we didn't fight, maybe we only have old and weak women and children, and your crew can't look down on them."
Sun Keren was dragged by Shen Bing to the school gate, and said suspiciously: "Why are you still in the mood to joke?" As he was asking, he was blinded by the flashing light, "What's going on?" Why are those people taking pictures? โ
It must be because I blew you into a big star!
Shen Bing said, "Don't care about them. โ
When the two men passed by the crowd, they only heard passers-by talking:
This is the big star? It's beautiful, but I've never seen it before. I've seen it, playing the second daughter-in-law in "Harvest Love"! Oh yes, I've seen it too! It's famous!
Sun Keren said to Shen Bing with an embarrassed face: "Who is the second daughter-in-law in "Harvest Love"? โ
Shen Bing: "The character is called Wang Miao, and it is played by Xiao Hongqi." โ
The artists who turned around in the northeast of Xiaohongqi are widely known to the people in the suburbs because they have performed a lot of down-to-earth rural themes. Of course, Xiao Hongqi is also very good-looking, in the words of the previous generation: sweet, and blessed at first sight.
Sun Keren pointed to his nose and asked Shen Bing, "I...... Looks like her?! โ
Shen Bing comforted: "Don't care about this kind of detail, you look like all the stars they know in their eyes." Now you hurry up and sue me, how can your crew let us go? โ
"What don't you let go?" Sun Keren shook off her hand and tidied up her clothes, "Didn't you embarrass us?" โ
"Sun Keren, this is work, not a personal matter."
"I know!"
The two of them walked under the flashing lights of a group of passers-by and exchanged information they had obtained. Sun Keren didn't look like she was hiding it, and there was no need for her to hide it. It seems that she really doesn't know anything.
Shen Bing softened his tone and said, "You are such a big name, can you talk to your director?" โ
Sun Keren shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help it." I don't want to get involved in the high-level now, I don't know what the crew is tired of, and it's all mine if I touch the mold. โ
Shen Bing saw that Sun Keren was very determined, and he had no way to force it, and he had no choice but to return to his camp. At this time, the two knocked on the playground, and they were both surprised. The two crews, who were originally in the negotiation stage, seemed to have intensified the conflict, and shouting could be heard from afar.
Sun Keren was a little worried, "Didn't you say that there was no fight?" โ
Shen Bing: "I really didn't fight just now. Who knows what the men in your crew who don't have a vegetarian zhรฌ say. โ
"Why is it that our crew is not sued?!"
The two were just about to fight, only to hear an exclamation from the crowd, and it was Zhang Aixuan who was pushed hard by the other party's people. If it hadn't been for Bivis's timely protection, she would have fallen to the ground.
Shen Bing threw down a sentence: "Look at who this is who is not su?" Then he ran to his crew.
Because of that push, the people of the two crews seemed to be moving their fists. Fortunately, there are many people who are calm, and in their respective pulls and persuasions, the scene has temporarily stabilized. And this stability also represents the failure of Zhang Aixuan's negotiations with the other party.
The reality is that the crew of "Thousands of Changes" has no room for negotiation about the lease period here until the Spring Festival. Although all parties know that the crew of "The Last Wing" is the losing party, after all, they have already registered in the system, even if they ask the above people to mediate, the "Last Wing" crew can only be the loser who is rejected.
The entire crew fell silent. Faced with such a reality, all arrangements will be disrupted. The local temporary workers began to ask noisily about their work and wages, and the person in charge of the site had no choice but to ask them to help put away all the equipment, and then pay them the day's wages as compensation. The crew is not short of money or time, but when this kind of thing happens, the most hit is everyone's morale.
Director Duke was silent, because he was worried, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it, and the whole person looked very lonely. Zhang Aixuan and Tang Xiangwan comforted him by his side, but it was useless. Having lost the venue, they had to rearrange the schedule of the young actors and start from scratch to find another suitable venue. The start date of filming is uncertain, and the actors' schedules will become uncontrollable.
Seeing that the crew of "The Last Wing" began to evacuate helplessly, the core personnel of the crew seemed to have emptied their brains, and the crew of "Thousands of Machines" no longer urged, and even some people had returned to the outside of the school to get on the bus and wait.
Sun Keren looked at Shen Bing from afar surrounded by other actors in the same crew. Watch her anxiously make phone calls, constantly โกโก the stones on the ground with her feetโa gesture she does whenever she is restless. Sun Keren wanted to go over and say something to her and help come up with ideas, just as Shen Bing said, this is work, not personal feelings. But just as he was about to leave, he saw Tang Xiangwan running to Shen Bing's side, his expression full of concern. Sun Keren paused, and at the urging of other actors, he returned to the car.
The temporary workers worked very quickly, and soon, the set equipment and equipment that had been set up were being moved one after another. The creators of the crew of "The Last Wing" stood silently on the playground, this change made them lose their minds, like defeated soldiers who lost a battle and surrendered, their minds were empty.
At this time, Xiao Ma's figure appeared among the temporary workers who were rushing outside the school. He pushed through the crowd and ran towards the playground, but no one would bother him. Until he said the following.
"Don't worry, I have a friend in Qingdao's film and television base, I just contacted him, and he said that there is a suitable scene over there."
The entire crew raised their heads and looked at him in surprise, looking at this man with an inch head, not tall, not short, and a little chubby.
Brother Xiao Ma and Shen Bing glanced at each other. Just now, Shen Bing called him and had already told him all the problems he had encountered, but he didn't expect that after only twenty minutes, he would bring back such a turnaround. The whole crew listened to it as if they were reborn, and Brother Xiao Ma patted Shen Bing's back, such an inconspicuous driver, like a reliable big brother at a critical moment, became the hope of the entire crew.
