Chapter 088: I'm really not good at helping
"Li Haiqing?"
"Yes, that's the last time we met, Director Li."
"Oh...... Director Li, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't react for a while. ”
"Don't get in the way, Mr. Fang is busy, so he didn't remember it...... Mr. Fang, I wonder if you are free? I want to treat you to a meal. Li Haiqing's shelves were lowered very low, and he used honorific titles when he opened and closed.
"Now?"
"If Mr. Fang, you're not busy right now, of course it's best, but if you're busy......"
"It's okay, I'm not busy, I just haven't eaten yet." Fang Chen hurriedly said.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, you wait a while, I'll arrange it right away, and I'll call you later." Li Haiqing's tone said with a hint of joy.
Hanging up the phone, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and prepared to enter the door, but when he put his hand on the doorknob, he paused and withdrew his hand again.
took out his mobile phone and found Old Man Wen's number.
"Uncle Wen, I have something to do, I can't eat this meal with you, I'll go back later, I'll treat you."
"You stinky boy, what's the urgency of having a meal?"
"Huh." Fang Chen laughed dryly, and said casually: "I came with the whole class this time, and I still have a lot of things to deal with when I first arrive, such as allocating a house, what kind of activities are arranged, you also know that I am the core wherever I go, and my classmates are without me, and they can't live on their own, so, this ...... Hey. ”
"You kid, it's okay, go ahead, have some fun."
"Thank you Uncle Wen for your understanding, I'll look for you when I get back."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Chen's heart was relaxed and sad.
He wanted to see the woman who looked exactly like Sister Qing, but at the same time, he understood that these two people just looked the same, and it was sad to see them.
What's more, Fang Chen didn't dare to see it, this complex emotion made it difficult for Fang Chen to deal with himself.
※※
Li Haiqing put the shelves so low to invite Fang Chen to dinner, he must have asked for someone.
Just now, Fang Chen just didn't want to participate in Wen Lao's dinner, he was afraid of seeing the woman named Ouyang Xueqing, so he casually accepted Li Haiqing's invitation without thinking about it, and now that he came back to his senses, he thought that Li Haiqing might have asked for himself, although he didn't want to participate in Li Haiqing's bureau, but it was not easy to refuse.
What's more, Li Haiqing's work efficiency is very fast, and in less than ten minutes, the phone call came, and a small package was ordered.
Li Haiqing's dinner was only two people, one was himself and the other was Fang Chen.
When entering the small private room, Li Haiqing politely got up to greet him, and the shelves were really not ordinarily low.
But Fang Chen is more cautious in his heart, a middle-aged director, the difference between the two is more than ten or twenty years old, and he Fang Chen is not a powerful boss, the so-called nothing to be courteous, has to be guarded against.
"Mr. Fang, come on, please take a seat."
"Director Li, this can't be helped, you are older than me, you should be seated, and I can accompany the last seat." Fang Chenwen dragged a sentence crepe, this was also done on purpose, mainly to appear raw and open a little distance.
"Mr. Fang, look at what you said, you are a guest, who are you in the seat? Come on, you're welcome, the dishes are all ordered, just waiting for you to take your seat. ”
“…… Director Li, you can't say that, the guest is as the host, you have a treat, you must be seated. ”
The two of you come and go, you push me to block, and in the end, Fang Chen was forcibly pressed by Director Li in the upper seat, the center of the round table.
In fact, there is no such thing as a seat, but it is just the first place in the round table.
"Director Li, you see that you are so polite, I am a little embarrassed, I am just a high school student, and you are a great director."
"A big director can't be called a third-rate director, by the way, Mr. Fang, what do you drink? Beer, wine? Or is it liquor? ”
"Just this regular lemonade ice water." Fang Chen pointed to the glass pot on the table, this kind of water is the same as barley tea in an ordinary hotel, it is all free, as much as you want.
"That's embarrassing."
"Hehe, Director Li, let's just say what we have to say, right? Little brother, if I have anything to help, you just have to speak, if I can help, I must not say a word...... But then again, if I can't do it, I'm really embarrassed. Fang Chen really didn't want to continue to ink with this Li Dao, if it was really something he could help with, he would definitely lend a hand. But if things are big, then Fang Chen will not hesitate to refuse.
Besides, a lot of things are said clearly, and you can eat comfortably.
"Since Mr. Fang, you like to get straight to the point, then I won't beat around the bush, in fact, I just want to ask you to help our crew."
"What do you mean by that?" Fang Chen was stunned, he knows how to heal, save someone or something, and he can help, but help the crew? This is not something that he Fang Chen can handle, right?
"That's the case......" Li Haiqing smiled bitterly and said slowly.
It's really not a big deal, but for Li Haiqing, it's enough of a headache.
The investor of Li Haiqing's crew is Hot Spring Island, and the investor is Xin Donghao, but the day before yesterday, that is, the day Xin Donghao had an accident, Xin Tao's assistant found Li Haiqing and directly asked them to stop filming and stop all the work at hand.
At that time, Li Haiqing was stupid, what does this mean? Stop shooting, isn't this going to be a bad rhythm?
Later, Li Haiqing inquired in many ways and learned that Xin Donghao was locked up by the old man of the Xin family, and he also stopped the only right to record sesame beans in Xin Donghao's hands, and he also carried out ** economically.
If it is replaced by an ordinary crew or an ordinary movie, it is nothing, after all, the crew has already received the money, even if the filming is stopped, then it is okay not to shoot, anyway, the money will not be refunded.
But the problem is that this is not a blockbuster, there is no producer, and there is no investment company, to put it bluntly, the money has not been settled, and Xin Donghao only gave a down payment at the beginning.
The contract also stated that only 20% was given at the beginning, and Xin Donghao covered all the food, drink, accommodation and transportation of all their crew on the hot spring island, and when the film came out, Xin Donghao was satisfied with the end of the payment.
After all, this is a micro-film, and Li Haiqing's studio is not a large studio, and the sound effects, lighting, modeling, makeup, etc. in the crew are all invited from other studios.
The most depressing thing is that according to Xin Donghao's requirements, the status of these people is not low, and the price is naturally high.
Speaking of which, Fang Chen understood, Xin Donghao was locked up, the crew stopped filming, the tail account was not settled, and this group of people couldn't leave.
Now it is like arrears of wages for migrant workers, not only the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew are facing the embarrassing situation of not having wages, but even the salaries of the actors have not been paid.
Although these actors are not big names, if the news of salary arrears spreads, then Li Haiqing's reputation will stink in the circle.
Then Li Haiqing thought of Fang Chen, remembering that that morning, Xin Tao came to him in person, and he seemed to be in a low voice.
In addition, Li Hai thought that Fang Chen and Xie Lanxin had a baby kiss, Fang Chen would not die without help, right? That's why we have today's invitation.
"This thing...... I'm really hard to help. After listening to Li Haiqing's bitter complaint, Fang Chen finally shook his head.
