Chapter 81: The Rabble
Zhang Yang stood in front of the window and stared outside, his heart was surprisingly calm. At this time, he saw Ren Huayu rent an RV and rushed to the hotel, and when the door opened, six burly bodyguards came down. Zhang Yang heard the ringtone of his mobile phone, and saw that it was Ren Huayu calling, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The director hurriedly greeted him when he saw this situation, although Ren Huayu knew all the situation, he was still polite to the director and others.
If Zhang Yang does not appear, the press conference will not officially start, so it will also whet everyone's appetite. The flamboyant hit drama is really hot, and the people who came later to know the news were overjoyed to see that the press conference could not officially start.
At Zhang Yang's request, Guan Dao and others changed rooms, and bodyguards and agents lived around the room. The pomp is very large, carefully arranged everywhere, crowded with people everywhere, Zhang Yang knows at a glance that more than half of the people here are hired by the investors themselves to fill the scene. Zhang smiled on the sunny surface, but secretly laughed at the group of people in front of him.
Zhang Yang wore a new suit designed by the designer, walked slowly on the red carpet, and arrived at the press conference site with the staff on stage. is that the director is on the periphery of the bodyguards, Zhang Yang deliberately ordered this, the more he is like this, the more these so-called people with background dare not speak up, and they dare not show their dissatisfaction, Zhang Yang looked at their hypocritical faces, and laughed wildly in his heart, he thought that his father was here at the moment, and he would definitely chant a few poems, no wonder his grandparents disdained to associate with this kind of person, that is, he felt that in addition to the smell of copper, the brain and people's hearts were rotten in this kind of person, and the second elder opposed the marriage of his mother and father at that time, and it was estimated that he regarded his mother as this kind of person.
At this moment, these investors are more worried about tomorrow's news, because the scandal between Zhang Yang and Liu Siyu has spread, and they are afraid that this young man will not know what he will do tomorrow. But Zhang Yang has his own measure, the promotion of the event is very smooth, and he still treats these people with courtesy, but Zhang Yang feels that his words are very disgusting. As soon as the publicity ended, Zhang Yang left the event site.
After the event, it was already late, back in the room, Zhang Yang looked at the satellite TV channel, playing the previously recorded thank-you meeting, the TV series has ended, the characters have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone in this drama can be said to have gained fame and fortune. Zhang Yang watched the leader of the Ministry of Culture speak in the program, how familiar he looked, and his voice was also very familiar.
Zhang Yang thought of Uncle An, dialed Uncle An's phone, and asked directly, "Uncle An, is it all arranged by you?" ”
"I knew you would think of it, yes! Neither is it! Actually, it's up to you! I just moved my mouth! It's all your own effort! Uncle An said very calmly on the other end of the phone.
"If there is no right time, place and people, it will not be a big thing! For example, if you stay in this crew now, you are a group of rabble, they have no real skills, and they will cause a fishy smell! The agent you use should really take a good look at the world, too short-sighted! Unless you're the one who controls the big picture, let everyone work the way you think about it! Otherwise, you'll meet a lot of them in the future! We're in a meeting, let's get back to that! At this time, it is very late in China! Rest early! ”
Zhang Yang heard Uncle An hang up the phone, and thought to himself that he was still so good at selling Guanzi, if he was so easy to be tricked, he wouldn't come out to mix, since I used it, I wouldn't doubt it.
The next day, to everyone's surprise, the news hotspots reported all the flamboyant positive news, and the scandal information was also tampered with, and it was changed to rehearsals that were very attentive, paying out of their own pockets to treat guests and establish friendships with the actors, and taking pains for work, etc. Naturally, this kind of news cannot attract people's attention.
When Zhang Yang heard such news, he thought that he could use the hackers of the American company, and his mother could too, but she was better and couldn't allow others to defile her children, so she was suppressed by her mother, she still knew everything, and this matter also became positive publicity, and at this moment, the only person who could directly report the news was Shen Xiaojing in front of her.
Zhang Yang looked at Shen Xiaojing and laughed, "Mom! You! It's so everywhere! ”
Shen Xiaojing didn't pretend anymore, and she also understood what Mr. Zhang meant, and when she thought about it, she saw the information, and immediately said, "Mr. Zhang, it was your mother who asked me to report the situation at any time, so I ......"
"It's okay...... You're not a bad person, my mother can use someone, you must have a clean background, my mother is like this, even if she really drives you away, someone else will come! ”
Zhang Yang completely understood, and knew that it was impossible to suddenly fall from the sky and make herself so popular all of a sudden, her mother was very good at seizing the opportunity, and she must have investigated Director Cai's background first, knowing that he was clean, and then seizing the opportunity to use her strength to promote this matter, so that her son could have a chance, and this opportunity could be used to the extreme. In addition, Zhang Yang worked hard enough and was good enough, so he became famous in one fell swoop, I'm afraid that only the leader in the last crew knew everything.
Zhang Yang thought of these and smirked, and told Shen Xiaojing not to be busy, let her go back to her room to rest, he watched TV alone, and his mind was full of thoughts.
After the crew officially started filming, in addition to work, even the director didn't dare to call Zhang Yang easily when he had nothing to do, and the scandal was changed instantly, which was enough to shock everyone.
As long as she arrives at the scene every day, all the details of the work will be arranged in advance, and the team must also work intensively, because they are only given eight hours of shooting time every day. It's just that this crew is filming in winter, and they don't prepare all kinds of vitamin drinks, not even ginger soup, Zhang Yang saw the group actors huddled together in the car in the cold, and he felt very uncomfortable, Zhang Yang simply hired a small vendor of hot drinks, and asked him to cook food and drink for everyone every day, and all the expenses were paid by himself. Therefore, Ren Huayu hyped up this matter, and some people even reported that the food of the crew of one billion yuan was very poor, and it did not subside until the crew bore all the expenses.
At work, filming is not enjoyable. The two directors claim to have graduated from the directing department, but they have no personal opinions on acting, everyone has various factions, and there are often embarrassing scenes, and the content of the script is not agreed upon by the two directors, and the actors' chaos is even more. But Zhang Yang did not give up on himself because of this, and tried to do everything to the extreme, even jumping into the ice lake himself. It's a pity that the crew won't protect themselves, so Zhang Yang got a cold, had a fever, was admitted to the hospital, and had to recuperate for a few days in a row.
Zhang Yang has never been so hard since filming, even if it is cold, he has never been sick, but after coming here, everything is not going well, what is wrong, Zhang Yang can't say why. All kinds of advanced photographic equipment, aerial cameras, etc., are used in this crew, after all, it is known as a 3D big production, and the lineup is really large, almost every day is a scene of hundreds of people. Even if Zhang Yang doesn't want to delay, there is nothing he can do if he falls ill, although the directors don't dare to say anything, but he still doesn't like to go wrong and affect the progress of the team.
On this day, Zhang Yang recovered from illness and came back from the hospital, the driver of the RV was hired by Ren Huayu when he rented a car in Jinan, he was very excited with the crew for the first time, and when he was talking to Ren Huayu, he saw Guo Yong from a distance and motioned him to stop, and after the driver stopped, Zhang Yang saw this and signaled Shen Xiaojing to let Guo Yong come up.
"Mr. Guo!? Can I help you? In such a hurry? Shen Xiaojing asked.
"Something happened to the crew! I haven't been working since the day before yesterday, saying that this drama is money laundering! It's been found out! The source of the funds is unknown, and it is said that it is corrupt money! The investor's people disappeared before the accident! Now no one has settled the crew's salary, the hotel door is full of people, and the crew's cars are blocked, Mr. Zhang! I think! Don't go back yet, you won't be able to get out!" Now there is no one to cook the meal, the chef has run away, and the rest of the people are all accountable! I just came back from a meal and have to wait for news from the director! ”
After Zhang Yang heard Guo Yong, he was not surprised when something happened, but he was not afraid of things, and he always had a clear conscience. Zhang Yang instructed the driver to drive back to the hotel, and sure enough, the cars in the parking lot were blocked, and there was no way to go in at all, so the driver could only park the car on the side of the road.
After Zhang Yang and his party returned to the hotel, no one troubled him, everyone saw his efforts and knew that he was a good person. Zhang Yang chatted with everyone and learned that they were all waiting for the person in charge of the final payment of this month and their brothers.
Zhang Yang entered the hotel lobby and could see the director's private driver sitting on the sofa not far away, but the corners of his mouth were bloodied.
At this moment, the police saw Zhang Yang and his party return to the hotel, but they didn't expect that someone was also a fan, obviously because of the characters in the TV series, they took the real Zhang Yang as him, and they were excited to take a group photo and sign it, and after Zhang Yang took a group photo enthusiastically, he politely said goodbye to the police and ignored the others.
Zhang Yang found Guan Dao's residence and knocked on the door, Guan Dao nervously asked and knew that it was Zhang Yang, so he opened the door, and Zhang Yang entered the door and saw that his luggage was packed. And Liu Siyu sat on the chair, his eyes were ruddy, and he cried. In this group, she and herself are the youngest, a pure girl, why was they tempered into this appearance, Zhang Yang sighed with pity when he thought of this.
"Zhang Yang, you're finally back, we're all waiting for you! If you can't get out, otherwise, we will leave in your car in the middle of the night, and after the deed is completed, we will give you 5 million! ”
Zhang Yang stared at Guan Dao, thinking that this person is really an ugly person, the circle of friends sends all kinds of chicken soup every day, but he is a toxic person, hearing this, Zhang Yang still treats him politely, no matter whether it is good or bad, Zhang Yang is still a person who knows how to be grateful, everything, no matter how big or small, he regards it as a compulsory course prepared by God for himself.
Zhang Yang saw that he was so down-and-out, and wanted to evade responsibility, so he replied directly, "Twenty million!" ”
Guo Yong was stunned when he heard Zhang Yang finish speaking, thinking to himself Is this what a 21-year-old person said, it's unbelievable, no matter what, he is also a director, he really dares to say it, what makes him even more strange is that the director is still afraid of him.
"No, you just sold all my property, and you don't have so much money! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out to work for others, would I! Most of the deposits are in the bank, and I receive a salary like you, but I only got 10 million, and then I will share it according to the total profit after the release, and now I have only half of the filming, and there is no hope for the release! 5 million should be convenient! And the matter of creating a scandal is also ordered by investors, and I have always been against it, how can I send my woman into someone else's arms, isn't it!? Siyu apologize to Mr. Zhang! ”
Liu Siyu heard Director Guan's words and hurriedly stood up.
"Mr. Zhang! I'm sorry! ”
Zhang Yang was very calm, his face was expressionless, and he thought to himself that if he really succeeded, would he still have this face? I'm afraid that I will eat people and not spit out bones, Zhang Yang didn't pay attention to Liu Siyu.
"How much do the people out there owe?" Zhang Yang walked to the window, looked at the downstairs that was blocked by traffic, and asked.
"It's nearly 30 million, and part of it has been paid according to the filming schedule, and now the balance of the large and small departments is almost still owed!" Guan Dao said earnestly.
"You call me 5 million first, and let's go together in the evening!" Zhang Yang left Guan Dao's room after speaking.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Yang instructed the driver to take the two directors and a few protagonists to go first, and he followed behind. When Zhang Yang arrived in the hall, he saw many people sleeping in the hall, and every old and young face was full of exhaustion, Zhang Yang's heart was painful, and he deliberately stepped on his feet.
At this time, the night watchman found two directors, and when the director saw that he was discovered, he hurriedly went around to the back door, and several people chased after him.
The two directors were scared like thieves for a while, crawling the wall in the backyard, and were directly dragged down by several people halfway up and fell to the ground.
This kind of thing, even the police can't control it, and the Spring Festival is more than a month away, these people have no money for the New Year, how can they let the director go.
After the directors were dragged down, the four people who were guarding took the two directors back to the hotel lobby. Only then did Zhang Yang know that one of them was the hotel manager, and when he learned that he had owed the room money, Zhang Yang felt that he had seen enough of the excitement, and said coaxingly, "The director will give everyone an explanation!" Let everyone know what's going on!? ”
Director Guan looked at Zhang Yang and knew that he had been tricked, so he said impatiently, "Don't touch me!" Call the police if you touch me again! Can you blame me for this? How do I know that the money of several investors is unknown! Now the regulatory authorities have found out that the investor ran away before the accident! I'm here to watch over you! Including you, you, you! You all signed yin and yang contracts, and they all have to be investigated! Guan Dao finally pointed at Zhang Yang and said.
"Plain up, what do you mean!?" Zhang Yang asked.
"In the past two years, the government has rectified the yin and yang contract, and now it is still happening, it is really bold enough, Mr. Zhang! Did you also sign the contract in your private name, and you kept saying that the contract was the same! As a result, we were all calculated! Among several actors, Guo Yong calmly said that he had already been dissatisfied with the crew, but he just held back and never broke out.
Zhang Yang looked at the other actors, and saw that they didn't dare to speak, as if they were waiting for an opportunity to leave here, but unfortunately this time you can only rely on yourself, you like to be a spectator, so Zhang Yang simply doesn't take the other people seriously.
"So, my money isn't clean! No wonder! Nothing is going well! Zhang Yang said something mocking to himself, then looked at everyone and continued, "In that case! Don't go! I said everyone, tell me how much wages you owe, I'll make it up for you, our director just happened to have this intention, and just transferred 5 million to me! ”
Zhang Yang saw that everyone was looking at each other, and when he heard this, he was no longer embarrassed by the director, Zhang Yang continued to persuade, "Tomorrow morning!" Come and meet here! Bring your contracts and settle them all for you! ”
Zhang Yang returned to the upstairs room after speaking, he had no plan to leave, his purpose was to play these two directors, if something happened, your name could not save you, but he would not be unjust.
