Chapter Seventy-Six: The Dark Tide Surges
Wu Qihua has been star-studded recently, and the spring breeze is proud. As a trainee of a training class, because of his appearance in the drama "People on the Journey", his popularity has risen sharply, and there is a faint trend of rising stars. Most of the senior brothers and disciples are still playing tricks, and he received the role of the second actor in the second play "Rogue Tycoon", which immediately made him break through, his status is above everyone, and his future is open, and his gratitude to Yang Lin is naturally not a problem.
But now, in the face of his brother, his good mood is gone, and he is only angry in his heart.
Wu Qihua lacked family warmth and parental ties in his childhood, but he had a good relationship with his brother, and at the age of 12, he left his parents to live with his grandmother, and later went to the United Kingdom to study alone.
His brother Wu Qiming is also eating in the entertainment industry now, but he has been playing tricks and has no chance. The relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, and Wu Qihua also respects this brother very much. Who knew that now, the eldest brother of his mother's compatriots actually came to beg him to give up the role of "Rogue Tycoon".
"Big brother, do you know what you're talking about?" Wu Qihua was quite puzzled, and even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Wu Qiming and Wu Qihua look very similar, and their appearance is quite good, which is one of the reasons why he has always been very conceited and complains that he has not met Huaicai. Facing his younger brother's questioning, his face turned a little red, and he said hesitantly: "Ah Hua, you don't know, Yang Lin has offended too many people, I received news that he can't shoot this drama." Don't follow him, or he'll be dangerous. ”
Wu Qihua was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "How do you know?" ”
"I" Wu Qiming hesitated for a while, then said with a red face: "Your wireless producer Zhao has approached me, and he said it." ”
"Producer Zhao?" Wu Qihua immediately reacted: "Zhao Zhenqiang? What is he looking for you for? ”
Wu Qiming stopped talking, glanced at Wu Qihua, and said softly: "He asked me to film." ”
"That's a good thing!" Wu Qihua was very happy in his heart, he knew that his brother loved acting very much, and the conditions were good, but he never had a chance. Now that Zhao Zhenqiang, the gold medal producer of wireless, can take a fancy to him, it is like pie in the sky, and good luck will hit the head.
"But he still has conditions." Wu Qiming was a little hesitant and slurking.
"On what terms?"
Wu Qiming glanced at his younger brother and lowered his head: "He wants me to talk to you, as long as you promise not to act in Yang Lin's play, he will use me." ”
Wu Qihua was stunned, and then got angry and said, "How can you do this? You made me sacrifice my future for your own sake, you're too selfish, aren't you? "Rogue Tycoon is a big production, as long as he performs well, his foundation can be laid firmly, and it will be much smoother in the future. But if you push this drama now, your reputation will be over in the future, and how can you be worthy of Yang Lin's favor?
Wu Qiming saw that his younger brother was angry, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, Producer Zhao said that as long as you push off this play, he will immediately open a new play for you." What's more, this time, Producer Zhao is not the only one who wants to deal with Yang Lin, there are still people behind! Ah Hua, count it, please, help me this time! You came out of the training class, with a halo, a bright future, and opportunities. But I'm different, I'm just a trickster, but I'm not bad either! All I need is a chance, you help me! ”
Wu Qihua was silent. Looking at his brother with a face full of eagerness and pleading, he didn't know what to say. He knew that Zhao Zhenqiang was starting from Wu Qiming, which made him unable to refuse. Thinking of his brother's love for him when he was a child, he could only sigh when he was a child.
In the dimly lit bar, Du Qifeng looked at John Qi in front of him, and his heart was angry.
The wound on John Qi's face has not healed yet, and the whole pig's head and arrogant smile are even more disgusting. He held the wine glass, squinted at Du Qifeng, and said in an arrogant tone: "Ah Feng, you are a smart person, I won't say much." I just want to ban Yang Lin, whoever follows him, who I block, you think about it carefully! ”
Du Qifeng sneered: "Who do you think you are?" Block whoever you want? ”
"You're really right, I'll tell you, even if Uncle Six speaks this time, it won't work!" John Qi is full of breath, and he can't be beaten.
Du Qifeng's heart was on fire, and he said with a calm face: "Do you think that the wireless TV station is opened by your family?" ”
"Hehe" John Qi let out a strange laugh: "Du Qifeng, Lao Tzu can afford you, don't be ignorant of lifting!" To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu can't wait to peel Yang Lin's skin and bones, and break the bones and scatter ashes! If you insist on going your own way and don't know whether you live or die, if there is any accident at that time, don't blame me for not warning you! ”
Du Qifeng's heart sank, and he felt that John Qi had something to say. He looked at the undisguised glint of hatred in John Qi's turquoise eyes, and knew that this man had now lost his mind and could do anything.
John Qi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Look, isn't that kid Liu Dehua wearing the same pants as Yang Lin?" Lao Tzu immediately blocked him, have you heard the word snow hidden? Lao Tzu hid him for a few years, what do you think he should do? ”
Du Qifeng didn't speak, just looked at John Qi, who was obviously a little excited.
John Qi thought that he was moved, and he was even more proud: "Let me tell you the bottom, this time, we must have no place for Yang Lin in TVB, even in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, he can't stay!" A mainland boy, who ran here to show off his might, thought he was the king of heaven? Ah Feng, count you as acquaintances, otherwise I will guarantee that you will never come out! ”
Du Qifeng laughed angrily, arrogant in his heart, and could no longer calmly reconcile with Qi John, took the case, and sneered: "You have seen me Du Qifeng too much, I will eat everything, but I won't eat you!" After saying that, he walked away.
John Qi was stunned, and then angrily threw the wine glass in the direction of Du Qifeng, and smashed the wine glass with a "bang", causing the guests in the bar to be stunned.
――
Yang Lin sat in the office, his face gloomy.
Wei Jiahui sat across from him and sighed: "This time it's a big trouble, more than half of the advertisers have already withdrawn, and they have made it clear that they would rather accept liquidated damages." The production department even issued a notice that the budget of this drama was overrun and decided to cut it by 30%. Now, the entire budget is only about three million. ”
Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "What did the sixth uncle say? ”
"Uncle Sixth has nothing to say, and the rest of the shareholders unanimously agree with this opinion, it is impossible for Uncle Sixth to turn his face with everyone for a drama." Wei Jiahui was indignant.
Yang Lin didn't speak, his fingers subconsciously tapped lightly on the table, thinking about countermeasures.
Obviously, everything is directed at him now. At the same time, it is not possible for ordinary people to do it, or even for one person, to make advertisers withdraw their funds, to make TVB's production department cut their budgets, and even to threaten Du Qifeng and other cast and crew. The answer is about to come out, it must be John Qi, Zhou Shilong and Zhao Zhenqiang who have teamed up to fight him.
The budget was drastically reduced, and the shooting plan had to be reinvented. Wu Qihua and several main supporting actors have made it clear that they can't appear in this play, and the actors will have to be rearranged.
None of this is just a small problem, and Yang Lin believes that he can solve it. What worries him the most is Shao Yifu's reaction.
According to Shao Yifu's consistent strength on TVB, who would dare to oppose the new drama he approved? But now, the production department can arbitrarily cut the cost of this play, which is simply a blatant challenge to the authority of Shao Daheng. Moreover, it is impossible for Shao Yifu not to know the small actions of John Qi and Zhao Zhenqiang. But so far, whether in public or private, he has not said anything, and the silence is full of weirdness.
What's going on?
Seeing that Yang Lin was silent, Wei Jiahui thought that he was worried about the TV series, and sighed in his heart. No matter how talented and talented you are, after all, your age and experience are there, and you will inevitably lose your proportions when you encounter problems. What's more, this blow is a bit bigger, and it is difficult to solve, he was afraid that Yang Lin would be discouraged and lose his fighting spirit, so he comforted: "It's not a big deal, there is more money and more money, and there is less money and less money, and the living can still suffocate urine?" ”
"You say, what is the sixth uncle most afraid of now?" Yang Lin said suddenly.
Wei Jiahui was stunned by Yang Lin's sudden words, a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and said strangely: "What is he afraid of?" He is now the chairman of TVB, the boss of the Shaw Brothers, a famous entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong, a knight awarded by the British authorities in Hong Kong, and a celebrity, what is he afraid of? ”
"The chairman of TVB?" Yang Lin's heart moved, frowning and pondering.
Wei Jiahui is also a clear-minded person, seeing Yang Lin's reaction, he understood a little, and wondered: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the sixth uncle?" "The more I think about it, the more certain it is that something big must have happened that made Shao Yifu take care of himself, or there are words of suffering. Otherwise, in Shao Yifu's style, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Even if there is something, it must not be out of the control of the sixth uncle." Otherwise, it shouldn't be as simple as cutting the budget. ”
Wei Jiahui nodded sympathetically, with the hatred of John Qi and Zhao Zhenqiang for Yang Lin, once they take the absolute initiative, it is not impossible to simply cut the drama "Rogue Tycoon". Not to mention the scenes that have not yet started filming, even if they are halfway filmed, there are many people who have been cut halfway.
Yang Lin and Wei Jiahui were discussing the reformulation of the shooting plan in the office, but a strange phone call made Yang Lin's heart fluctuate.
