The crew rented the hotel conference room, rearranged it, and installed a row of vanity mirrors as a dressing room and costume room. In the morning, the actors gathered here to prepare to read the script together.

There are a total of five young actors in the play, three women and two men, Fan Lina is one of them, and two middle-aged and elderly actors, one man and one woman, Wu Zhaohe, an old drama bone in his early sixties, Chen Ying, an actress in her forties, and Qiqi.

Wen Hao came early, silently flipped through the script, and went through the communication he was going to do with the actors in his heart. Tao Ye set up his camera, ready to shoot the tidbits of reading the script, and life producer Yang Di poured water and made tea before and after being busy in and out, and arranged refreshments and fruits.

Except for Kiki, the actors all arrived, drinking tea, eating snacks, and laughing with each other. Everyone had a script, and someone brought two different versions of the script.

Old actor Wu Zhaohe shook the script in his hand and asked Wen Hao: "Director, which version is the final draft?" How did you send me two drafts? ”

"If you look at the last date, the date of payment yesterday is the final draft." Wen Hao replied politely.

Wu Zhaohe put on reading glasses, turned the two drafts of the script to the last page, and carefully compared.

Wen Hao looked at his watch, frowned, and felt a little irritable.

"Forget it, let's get started."

"Don't wait... So who's it? Fan Lina kindly reminded Wen Hao.

Chen Ying didn't know that a new role had been added to the play, and asked puzzledly: "Who else hasn't come?" Aren't they all here? ”

Wen Hao said decisively: "Don't wait! ”

The actors sat down one after another, gathered their minds, opened the script, and Tao Ye also turned on the camera.

At this time, Yang Di walked in and said to Wen Hao, "Director, Sister Ning asked you to come over." ”

"What's the matter?" Wen Hao was just about to enter the state of directing, but he was interrupted and a little unhappy.

"I don't know."

Wen Hao had to put down the script, get up and walk out of the room.

。。。

Producer Zhang Ning's room was diagonally opposite the dressing room, and Wen Hao walked into the room.

"You're looking for me?"

Zhang Ning was reading the script, she raised her head, looked at Wen Hao seriously, and spoke in a very nervous tone.

"Boss Eric, you're going crazy!"

Wen Hao looked at Zhang Ning in surprise and asked very puzzled, "What's wrong?" Who recruited him? ”

"He asked you how the script was changed, and said that Kiki was not satisfied with the script after reading it, and you only gave her a few lines."

"Didn't I discuss it with the management at the beginning, Qiqi has no acting experience at all, this time she just followed the experience, and she herself accepted it at the time, I have specially added a few more scenes to her, why are you still not satisfied."

Wen Hao felt very innocent.

"It was the beginning, but now people don't recognize it, what should you do, she is now named to play the role of Fan Lina."

Zhang Ning finally said this most critical and unreasonable appeal, and tried to put it at the end of the sentence as lightly as possible, but Wen Hao exploded when he heard it.

", a little self-aware, how could it be! The character of the script is set as a model, Kiki looks like a model, does she have that height? ”

"The management side said that a graphic model is also a model, and it doesn't have to be the kind that walks the catwalk."

Zhang Ning said coldly, as if he was satirizing the employer, and it was also like talking to the director about the conditions for the employer, Wen Hao was obviously more stimulated and angry when he heard it.

"Who the hell are you?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ning felt that he had been misunderstood, and he was also a little anxious, "What are you angry with me, I just conveyed the words of the management to you." ”

Wen Hao forced himself to calm down a little and softened his tone as much as possible.

"I mean, aren't they destroying themselves! Fan Lina also recognized it at the beginning, and Eric kept praising it during the meal, saying that Fan Lina was particularly suitable, why don't you recognize it now. ”

"Don't mention Fan Lina, Qiqi complained to the management about her."

Hearing this, Wen Hao was very surprised.

"Complain about Fan Lina? No, these two are good, and we had dinner together yesterday. ”

Zhang Ning sneered and shook his head, "We all underestimate this Kiki too much." ”

"What did she complain about Fan Lina?"

"said that she played a big name and refused to wear the clothes in the group, so she had to wear her own."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Wen Hao's anger jumped up again, "I begged Fan Lina to bring my clothes, we have a limited budget, and we can't afford to buy those brand-name clothes needed for the plot, how can this become a big name." ”

Zhang Ning added: "Qiqi also said that Fan Lina is not a professional actor and can't act... ”

Wen Hao interrupted Zhang Ning impatiently, "It's true that Fan Lina is a model, but she also graduated from the Academy of Drama majoring in acting, and she has also acted in dramas, and the video investors of the audition have all watched it, and they have also discussed and approved it when they have a meeting." ”

Zhang Ning also raised his voice, "It's useless for you to fight with me, I just gave you feedback on the opinions of the management, anyway, Qiqi complained to the management, saying that Fan Lina got this role because she knew the director." ”

Wen Hao was so angry that he couldn't speak, he could only scold hatefully, ""!

"What do you want to do now, can the script be adjusted, anyway, Qiqi must play the role of Fan Lina."

"If she wants to act, the movie will be ruined." Wen Hao said heartbreakingly.

"What should I do if the management doesn't pay the money! It's about to start, and dozens of people spend a lot of money just for food and accommodation every day. ”

Wen Hao was at a loss, looking depressed, speechless.

"Qiqi also said that Fan Lina has always been a purchasing agent before, is there such a thing?"

Wen Hao was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Zhang Ning pressed forward step by step.

"Is that the case?"

"Purchasing agents? I don't know... I haven't heard Fan Lina say it. Wen Hao was confused by this sudden question, "How can this Kiki know everything?" ”

"You call Fan Lina over to ask, find out about this matter, the management is waiting for a reply, and I will definitely call and ask later."

Wen Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll call her over, don't let other actors see it, the whole person is panicking." ”

"It's not three hundred taels of silver here, it's on the opposite door, what kind of phone call makes people feel even more strange when they see it."

Wen Hao didn't ramble anymore, turned around and went out, he walked to the door of the dressing room, beckoned to Fan Lina, and said in a very stiff tone, "Fan Lina, come here." ”

Fan Lina felt that Wen Hao's mental state was a little strange, and she didn't think much about it, got up and walked out of the room. The other actors were busy talking and chatting with each other and didn't take it seriously, but the old actor Wu Zhaohe seemed to notice something, and after paying attention to it, Tao Ye also felt Wen Hao's strangeness, and faintly felt that something was going to happen.

。。。

As soon as Fan Lina walked into the producer's room, Wen Hao asked, "You went to dinner with Qiqi last night?" ”

"Ah, she had to have a treat, so she ate in the hotel's western restaurant, what's wrong? You come to me and ask me about this? ”

"What did you talk to her about?" Wen Hao's heart was on fire, and his words were full of reproach.

Fan Lina was confused, "I didn't talk about anything, what can I talk to her, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Ning suddenly interjected and asked, "Then how did she know that you had done purchasing agents, what did you tell her?" ”

"No, I didn't tell her, and besides, what's wrong with me doing daigou!"

Fan Lina was forced to ask by the two for no reason, and instantly became angry, "Wen Hao, don't you want to say anything, what's going on?" She asked Wen Hao regardless of it, completely ignoring Wen Hao's current status as a director.

"Kiki complained to the management about you, and she wants to steal your role." Wen Hao had to tell the truth.

"Huh?" Fan Lina was also stunned.

"Think about it, what did you tell her?"

Fan Lina thought for a while, and suddenly came to her senses, "I remembered." ”

She picked up her phone, clicked on WeChat and rummaged through it.

"Yes, yes, it's her, she used to be one of my customers, in my purchasing group."

Fan Lina showed Wen Hao the WeChat group chat and clicked on a WeChat named Zixuan.

"This is her, she has two WeChats."

Fan Lina wanted to see Zixuan's circle of friends, but found that she had been blocked and couldn't watch it.

"She blocked me."

Wen Hao shook his head helplessly, "This woman is too scheming, I really didn't see it, she is so simple and harmless on the surface." ”

Wen Hao asked Zhang Ning again: "What is her real name?" Kiki isn't her real name, right? ”

"I don't know, her ticket and room are directly given by the employer, I don't have her ID information, do you know?"

Zhang Ning asked Fan Lina, and Fan Lina shook her head.

"Fuck, there's a certain time bomb planted throughout, and we're all still with this beauty!" Wen Hao was crazy.

At this time, Zhang Ning's mobile phone rang, Zhang Ning didn't answer it immediately, but said to Wen Hao: "Look, what do I say, they will definitely call and ask, you should think about what to do." ”

Wen Hao asked, "Who?" ”

"Eric's assistant, Xiaoyun."

"Then you take it, I'll tell her."

Zhang Ning picked up the phone, and then pressed the speakerphone, "Hey, Xiaoyun, hello... ”

Xiaoyun's tone on the phone was still very polite, "Sister Ning, have you arrived in Luzhou?" ”

"It's here, it's in the group, and the personnel from all departments are now here."

"Is the start-up date set?"

"It's set, turn on the 8th, can you come?"

"I should be there." Xiaoyun then immediately cut to the chase, "Sister Ning, have you communicated with the director about Qiqi's role, can you solve it as soon as possible?" ”

"It's communicated, the director is also there, and the director wants to tell you in person."

Zhang Ning handed the phone to Wen Hao, and Wen Hao took it and put the phone to his mouth.

"Xiaoyun...

"Hello Director."

"That's right, I don't think Kiki is suitable for the role of model, and you know that she doesn't have much acting experience...

Wen Hao tried his best to calm down his tone and took out a posture of presenting facts and reasoning, but was unceremoniously interrupted by Xiaoyun.

"Before we came, we had already found a well-known teacher from the film school for Qiqi to tutor, and Qiqi trained very hard, and the teachers praised her for her talent, so now there is no problem with acting experience."

"Acting experience is one thing, and the other most important thing is that Kiki's height, appearance and temperament are also very different from this character...

Wen Hao had to throw out another reason, and then continued to deal with Xiaoyun, intending to understand the reason and move the emotion.

"You invest in my film, I have to be responsible for you, otherwise when it is released, it will be complained by the audience, and it will also affect the box office. If Kiki is not satisfied with the current script, I can add some more scenes to her role, including lines, do you think this will work? ”

Wen Hao's tone was sincere, to the extent of digging out his heart and lungs, but Xiaoyun's side became tougher.

"Director, let me tell you this, I'm not here to discuss with you today, Kiki must play the role of a model, you can modify the script according to Kiki's image and temperament. This is the company's decision, and this is what Eric means, and you can only accept it. ”

Xiaoyun's words hurt Wen Hao's self-esteem greatly, and he tried hard to restrain his emotions, but he also subconsciously became tough.

"Xiaoyun, this is not good, we are a cooperative relationship, you should respect the director's creation. And we have signed contracts with the actors, and the actors have already joined the group. ”

As he was talking, Eric's voice came from the other side of the phone, and he was asking Xiaoyun, "Who is this?" ”

Xiaoyun hurriedly returned: "It's the director." ”

Eric's tone was vicious, "Give it to me, I'll tell him." ”

On the phone, Eric suddenly scolded, "Boy, are you fucking fooling me, who do you think you are, damn it... ”

Everyone present was stunned, no one thought that the boss of the management would suddenly burst out and curse, the sudden humiliation made Wen Hao's blood pour into his pupils, and his anger surged to his head, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ning and Fan Lina, Fan Lina avoided Wen Hao's gaze, Zhang Ning saw this and quickly waved his hand at Wen Hao, signaling Wen Hao to suppress the fire, but Eric continued to scold on the phone.

"Isn't it to give you face, the director is something."

Wen Hao finally couldn't hold back the outburst, and roared unscrupulously.

"Fuck your uncle! You don't fucking understand, don't shoot if you don't want to, fuck off. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Ning quickly snatched the phone and hung up the phone.

Wen Hao was so angry that he couldn't speak, Zhang Ning was shocked, and Fan Lina was also scared stupid.
