Chapter 159: Threats

However, Zhou Xingchi obviously did not pay attention to the two of them. For someone like him who stands at the top of the crew pyramid, it doesn't matter how you fight underneath, as long as you don't delay filming because of this.

Perhaps, he also secretly supported Mo Wenwei.

The contradiction between Zhou Xingchi and Zhao Wei is, to put it bluntly, a matter of face, but the key is that one side is the king of comedy, and on the other hand, Xiaoyanzi, who has been popular across the Taiwan Strait and three places in the past two years, no one is willing to let go of this face first, in the entertainment industry, face is equal to value.

Perhaps, they are all waiting for a step down. It's just that the staircase hasn't appeared yet.

"She's done shooting, and she's not leaving." Huang Bo muttered.

"Celebrities can't guarantee that they will live every day." Lin Xiao explained.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a big fat man with gold-rimmed glasses, his hair meticulously combed. There was another middle-aged man with a hooked nose who was no worse than him in the back.

Everyone didn't know the eagle hook nose, but the big fat man caused a stir among the people present.

"Zeng Jinchang?" Lin Xiao frowned, at the boot ceremony, the other party also came, but he didn't say a word.

Isn't it old and dead? How did he get here? He thought secretly in his heart, his eyes fell on the hooked nose, who could come in with Zeng Jinchang?

Zeng Jinchang laboriously moved his fat body to the chair, and both of them sat down.

"Mr. Gu." Zhou Xingchi looked at the hooked nose and said hello politely.

His attitude once again aroused Lin Xiao's curiosity, the co-producer is already the top of the crew pyramid, and who else is worthy of his serious treatment.

Immediately, a flash flashed in his mind, and a thing immediately came to mind, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Who is this?" Obviously, Zhou Xingchi's attitude has also attracted the attention of others. Huang Bo was also puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the investor." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's interesting, all the horns are in battle, it seems that it is not just for Zhao Wei's affairs, there should really be other things to announce." โ€

"Investors?" Huang Bo frowned slightly, "Zhou Xingchi and Zeng Jinchang are the chief producers, and they can be regarded as investors, right?" How did an investor come out again. โ€

Lin Xiao smiled, even if Huang Bo had been mixed up for a few years, his current experience was not as good as that of himself who had been reborn.

"Shaolin football has invested more than 10 million, which is a big investment in the movie. After all, Director Zhou still has to leave the money that can be turned over if he fails. But Zhou Xingchi himself is an artist, and his own expenses are also very large, how much can he save in the past ten years? Moreover, they are not sure of the mainland market, and they cannot invest more. โ€

He and Zeng Jinchang are the main investors, directly responsible for the entire movie, and this man is likely to be the representative of the third largest investor. Only invest in dividends, not responsible for film planning, and have no right to choose, but can make suggestions. โ€

After speaking, he muttered, "In order to make Zhao Wei bow his head, Zhou Xingchi can be said to have done his best, but isn't he afraid of backfire......"

Zhou Xingchi raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let me introduce to you, Mr. Zeng needless to say, this is Mr. Gu Yuan, the No. 3 investor in the crew, and one of our largest three parties." โ€

Without waiting for everyone to applaud, he continued, "I invite you here today to tell you a few things. Shaolin football has entered the final period, maybe within this month, but it cannot be played immediately after it is finished. โ€

"Huh?" "Why?" "What's going on?"

Everyone looked at each other, how long it would be broadcast, and where it would be released, this is not a matter of the artist's heart, after all, one more day of the film will cause the investor's funds to not be returned, and in this matter, the investor is more anxious than the artist.

However, many people are counting on this drama to take their careers to the next level, and when they heard that it could not be released immediately, everyone's hearts hung in the air.

Zhou Xingchi pressed his hand and didn't give the other two a chance to speak, Lin Xiao obviously noticed that a touch of anger flashed on Zeng Jinchang's face, but he was well suppressed.

"That's right, I invested more than 10 million in this movie, plus the later stage, it's close to 20 million." His gaze slowly swept over everyone, "Where did the money go in the later stage?" I haven't told the media, but the dozen or so people present, I can tell you, are in computer special effects. โ€

Lin Xiao nodded secretly, the computer special effects of Shaolin football were the top in China at that time, and it can be said that a huge amount of money was invested, and for the media, it is impossible for any crew to say how much, this is a sensitive area.

"According to the current process, I'm afraid it won't be released until half a year later." Zhou Xingchi went on to say, "This is my first film of the Trinity, and I want every corner to be perfect. โ€

Everyone listened word for word.

"So, for the sake of effect, I gave a few new corners and script styling to a few investors, and they all said it was good. In the final scene, everyone's costumes will change a little, and the difficulty will also increase. If you haven't taken out insurance yet, you can take it a shot. โ€

"Wow!" There was an immediate uproar below.

This is undoubtedly a huge change for a drama that has already been decided, the storyboard, the action, all have to be redone! The machines have to be rented again! No wonder all the actors involved are called for a meeting.

"Of course, everyone's signing fee will also increase accordingly." Zhou Xingchi's words once again suppressed everyone's sฤo movement: "I guarantee that your efforts will not be in vain, you will see a different Shaolin football." The last game is the real moment to show kung fu. โ€

Lin Xiao listened silently, and when he heard this, he also guessed it.

This is taking advantage of the situation to oppress people, if it is just Zhao Wei who wants to reset her makeup, then she has too many reasons not to do it. But if it is to bring in a few more people to rebook, it is difficult for her to complain.

Zhou Xingchi began to talk for a long time, and in the end, he was still for this matter, obviously, he had already revised the storyboard, but he never took it out.

"Director Zhou, I want to ask, since the last storyboard and makeup have been redone, why didn't we know at the beginning?"

At this moment, Zhao Wei's voice rang out, and he asked seemingly casually.

"Two weeks ago, Director Zhou had a new idea. Miss Zhao, you know that everyone is for the quality of the crew. Only when the film is done well can you make money. Zeng Jinchang finally spoke, glanced at Zhou Xingchi, and added, "Although I took it at four o'clock in the morning." โ€

"Four in the morning? Isn't that exactly after I got sick? What a coincidence. Zhao smiled slightly, "Then which corners do you need to re-make?" โ€

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Gu Yuan smiled, "Among them is your horn sรจ, and there is also the goalkeeper's horn sรจ." Both of these horns were reset, and the others only needed to change their clothes. โ€

Own? Lin Xiao was stunned, how could he suddenly get involved with himself?

At the moment when Gu Yuan's words fell, several eyes with envy and jealousy nailed to Lin Xiao.

Re-setting the makeup must be someone who the director thinks is important, this is the director who makes him more brilliant, but unfortunately, this opportunity is the turn of others.

"Oh? So how is my horn sรจ determined? Zhao Wei asked.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Zhao's makeup, Director Zhou thinks it can be more shocking, we have seen it, and we all think it is good." โ€

Zhao Wei held back his anger, "How many people have finished discussing?" That's not what the contract was written in the first place, was it? โ€

"It was too late at that time, for fear of disturbing Miss Zhao." Zeng Jinchang obviously sang with a red face, and it was rare to maintain the same agreement with Zhou Xingchi, after all, the quality of the film is related to vital interests, and no one will get along with money.

Zhao Wei took a deep breath and said firmly, "I don't agree." โ€

"Miss Zhao." Gu Yuan immediately restrained his smile and said meaningfully, "I heard that Tianyu has several TV series filming now, right?" โ€

"It's so ruthless!" As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, Huang Bo exclaimed in a low voice, this was obviously a naked threat, and he almost tore the last layer of fig leaf.

Moreover, it seems that Zhao Wei raised it himself, Zhou Xingchi didn't mention anything about last night, and the focus naturally became the confrontation between Zhao Wei and Gu Yuan and Zeng Jinchang, and he himself retreated behind the scenes!

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, this hand borrowed a knife to kill, and it was not an ordinary slip.

"There are indeed a few TVs that are pulling investment." Zhao Wei said coldly: "But I only have the last half a year left in my contract." โ€

"Miss Zhao, the influence of the company and individuals is not of the same level, unless it is Zhang Manyu, the princess, you should think about it again, right?" Zeng Jinchang also persuaded.

Gu Yuan's eyes flashed, "Investor, if the producer pulls someone into the blacklist, it declares that she won't shoot, hehe...... I'm sure Miss Zhao will make a wise choice. โ€

There was silence. Even Zhou Xingchi moved unexpectedly and cast a very dissatisfied gaze.

Gu Yuan's black face sang thoroughly, he didn't take the star in his eyes at all, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth without saving a trace of face, and even used blockade as a means, which was a posture of pressing Zhao Wei's head and pouring water.

"Zla!" Zhao Wei's stool suddenly pulled out a shrill sound, she had already stood up, and sneered, "Really? Then I ask for the termination! โ€

Lin Xiao suddenly understood why Zhao Wei didn't sign the "deed of sale" anymore.

At this moment, suddenly a woman's voice sounded in the silent room, "If you say that you will terminate the contract, you will cancel the contract, where are you on the crew?" Lavatory? โ€

Mo Wenwei tasted the tea calmly and blew out a breath of hot air, "Artist, the most important character is artistic virtue, Director Zhou begged you so, and also mentioned the signing fee." The purpose is more for the effect of the crew, I think Miss Zhao is still better to put the crew first. โ€

"Oh? So Miss Mo thinks, what is considered artistic virtue? Using a special identity in the crew, and declaring that it is not filming without asking the reason? Then I'm really going to study hard. Zhao Wei immediately ridiculed him, saying that it was really about Mo Wen's boycott at Jiangwan Stadium.
