The Storm God

B Beijing.

Wangjing Hotel.

The conference room specially contracted by the crew of "Mr. Good" was converted into the chief creative office.

Everyone was racking their brains to make suggestions for details such as the script, modeling, character design, etc. At this moment, a man with a suit and leather collar and gold-rimmed glasses walked in. Behind him, he also followed Several men in suits.

"President Li?"

Seeing a group of people coming, a man who seemed to be the leader in the chief creative office was slightly startled, stood up first, and quickly walked up to the man with glasses, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, do you have any orders?"

The man's name is Liu Ke, and he is the producer of "Mr. Good", while Mr. Li is the main investor of "Mr. Good".

For Mr. Li's arrival, of course Liu Ke would greet him with a smile.

Mr. Li nodded lightly, and then said straight to the point: "Well, I'm here today, mainly to talk about the investment with the crew again!"

"Huh? This...?"

When Liu Ke heard this, his expression was a little ugly. Isn't everything about the investment settled? Does Mr. Li want to go back on his word?

President Li didn't care about Liu Ke's reaction, and took a few people to sit down one after another.

Afterwards, Mr. Li began to introduce to everyone.

After a while.

Only then did Liu Ke realize that today's protagonist is not Mr. Li, but this man named Yan Feng brought by Mr. Li. The other party came here to invest in "Mr. Good", and the amount is not small, at least over 100 million .

Over 100 million investment!

Liu Ke was shocked, and his face was filled with joy, so excited that he almost couldn't cheer on the spot.

"Producer Liu, we have a request for investment!"

Yan Feng said with a smile.

"no problem!"

Liu Ke didn't even think about it, and didn't even ask, he just nodded and agreed, and said: "Mr. Yan made an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and some requirements are also normal! Please rest assured, no matter what the requirements are, we will try our best to meet them." Made it!"

"Producer Liu is really refreshing!"

Yan Feng smiled sinisterly, and then said: "In that case, then I have to speak directly, my request is very simple, that is...!"

...

Wangjing.

In a high-end studio.

Director Zhao Yichao was leading the crew, nervously filming today's scene, when suddenly, a phone call came.

"Producer Liu?"

Director Zhao Yichao was taken aback when he saw the caller number, and then told the assistant director next to him, "Xiao Zhang, I'm going to answer the call, and you are in charge of keeping an eye on it for me!"

"good!"

After hearing this, the assistant director said it was okay, and then began to stare at the monitor.

Director Zhao Yichao walked out of the studio.

"Hey, Producer Liu..."

"Director Zhao, there is something I must tell you!" The other party's tone was heavy.

"What's up?"

Director Zhao Yichao suddenly had a bad feeling.

After so many years in the industry, he has already developed a good ability to observe words and deeds. Although he has not seen Producer Liu himself, based on his understanding of Producer Liu and the tone of the other party's speech, Director Zhao Yichao can He could tell that the other party must have encountered some kind of problem, otherwise, with the ability of Producer Liu, he would not have called him in this tone.

"It's like this..."

On the phone, Liu Ke told Director Zhao Yichao about Yan Feng's investment.

"Investment? At least over 100 million?"

After hearing Liu Ke's words, director Zhao Yichao was also taken aback. Generally, before the preparations for filming of film and television dramas, the investors have already been decided. It won't be too big, like the other party's one shot is an investment of over 100 million yuan, which is really the first case in the industry!

It stands to reason that having such a large investment should be a good thing, but judging from Producer Liu's tone, it seems that this is not the case, so there is only one possibility.

The other party has special requirements!

It's not like Zhao Yichao has never seen similar things. After all, he paid a lot of money, and some demands are completely reasonable. For the smooth preparation of the crew, under normal circumstances, the producer will agree to the request of the investor, even if it involves scripts, characters, and actors, they have to swallow their anger and make concessions.

This is the rule of the domestic film and television industry.

Producer Liu, like Director Zhao Yichao, is also a relatively well-known gold medal producer in China, which can make Producer Liu feel embarrassed. It can be seen that this sudden investor is not an easy person.

For general matters, Producer Liu can make up his own mind and solve them on his own, without having to discuss with other people at all.

But now.

Producer Liu's phone call went to director Zhao Yichao, so the problem was more serious.

Director Zhao Yichao frowned, and said, "Producer Liu, tell me, does the other party want to change the script, or fill in the actors? As long as it's not too much, I can make some concessions for the sake of the crew!"

The success of a play has a great relationship with the director's ability and casting.

Maybe a good script, just because the characters chosen are not suitable, makes the drama that could have been a hit become rubbish; a small production may also become a dark horse at the box office because of a very brilliant script. Therefore, for the screening and modification of actors and scripts, under normal circumstances, neither the investor nor the producer will force the director.

Director Zhao Yichao understands very well that since Producer Liu called him, it is obvious that the situation is beyond the normal range. The investor wants to move the script, or fill in the actors. Only in these two situations, the producer will have to find Discuss with yourself, after all, I am the director and core of this film, without my approval, this film definitely cannot be filmed!

In theory, director Zhao Yichao doesn't want others to dictate his work, but the reality is cruel, if he doesn't adapt to certain rules, he can't work smoothly at all.

Therefore, as long as the other party does not touch his bottom line, director Zhao Yichao can only grit his teeth and endure even the slightest thing.

"The situation is worse than that!" The other party sighed.

"What?"

Director Zhao Yichao was a little confused. It was more serious than changing the script and stuffing actors? Quickly asked: "What's going on?"

There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, and then he replied: "Director Zhao, the other party has only one request, to replace the male number one Bai Xiaofei, and ignore the rest! And... the main creative team has already voted, result...."

"This is impossible!"

There is no need to listen to the rest of the words, as long as people with a normal mind will not let go of an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and try to protect a rookie actor who is nothing.

Therefore, when Producer Liu said that the other party was going to replace Bai Xiaofei, Director Zhao Yichao became anxious.

"Director Zhao, I understand your difficulties, but...you have to think about it for me too!" Producer Liu on the other side of the phone was silent for a while when Director Zhao Yichao got angry, and then began to play emotional cards. To persuade Zhao Yichao to give up Bai Xiaofei, everything must be for the sake of the overall situation.

"..."

Zhao Yichao was silent.

He didn't reply to Producer Liu for a long time, just when Producer Liu couldn't help but want to say something more, he suddenly said, "Wait for me to go back and talk about it!"

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Director Zhao Yichao returned to the monitor angrily.

"Director Zhao!"

"The one just now, I feel good, let it go!"

"I'll ask the photographer to replay the picture for you. If you are not satisfied, we will take another shot!"

The assistant director quickly moved away from the director's seat opposite the monitor with winking eyes, and then began to report on work, but he never expected that director Zhao Yichao did not sit down and continue directing, but grabbed the big speaker on the table, and there was a loud sound Roaring: "Call work!"

"ah?"

"knock off?"

"What's the situation?!"

"I've only filmed two scenes, why do I have to call it quits all of a sudden?"

"..."

The entire production crew, from top to bottom, whether it was the senior leaders, on-set actors, or the low-level production staff, was instantly stunned by director Zhao Yichao's roar.

The on-site producer hurried over and asked what was going on?

"Director Zhao, this...?"

"I'm upset, I don't want to shoot anymore!"

Facing the inquiry from the on-site producer, director Zhao Yichao found a random reason. After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, angrily said in his heart: "What the hell, I have changed the number one man, what a fart!"

"ha?"

The on-site production was in a daze.

Seeing the anger on the director's face, which didn't look like he was joking at all, he was so scared that he quickly called the production team.

The call ended quickly.

All eyes were on the on-site producer, waiting for him to speak. Only when he, the second-in-command on site, nodded in agreement, did everyone dare to leave.

The on-site producer nodded bitterly, and said weakly:

"knock off!"
