Lai Haijin was very depressed and had no intention of working these days.
He hated the shame Wen Fan gave him, but he was deeply powerless.
Even for a moment, he thought about asking Buyiyi to do something on the set and embarrass them, but in the end he denied himself.
For one humiliation, he overdrawn his biggest trump card, made her bear the infamy, and finally separated from him. Is this worth it
He is in the entertainment industry to make money, not for grudges.
Facing such a powerful film and television group as Mavericks Film and Television, he refused to do this business because of his refusal, and a lot of people rushed forward to beg him to do it.
"boom!"
While Lai Haijin continued to be depressed, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
Lai Haijin, who put his feet on the table, subconsciously retracted his legs and looked at the door with dissatisfaction, but what he saw was Buyiyi's angry face.
"What's wrong, is this?" Lai Haijin stood up, "Yiyi, who messed with you?"
Buyiyi should have been preparing to figure out the role in the script at home, and then join the crew as soon as possible.
But her appearance at the company made Lai Haijin a little uneasy.
It always feels like something is going to happen.
"Lao Lai, what the hell do you think they are doing!?" Buyiyi slapped a folder in her hand, "It was clearly agreed that I would be the number one heroine, little kid. How come when it's time to give the character a script, I just Have you become Zhang Chuchu?"
"What!?"
Lai Haijin stared, picked up the script in the folder and read it.
Sure enough, when you look up, you can see the character mark and lines of "Zhang Chuchu (Liu Rumei)" and so on.
"This is too much!"
How could Lai Haijin not understand what was going on
This time, Mavericks Film and Television made a trick again, changing the first heroine and letting Buyiyi play the second heroine.
Even though he doesn't have many roles, the lively and naughty kid is definitely the most popular one among the audience!
No matter how well Buyiyi plays Zhang Chuchu, she can't possibly steal the spotlight from Xiao Wanzi. Instead, she is making a dowry for Xiao Wanzi!
"Did you ask what the reason was?" Lai Haijin said to Buyiyi in a deep voice.
"No, I came to you as soon as possible." Buyiyi replied.
She is not an idiot. When encountering such a ridiculous thing, she must not be the one to directly intervene.
Whether it's scolding or negotiating, she can't be the one to do it, so as not to damage her image.
Besides, Buyiyi is really not good at this. She hates this kind of dispute.
The agent is naturally the best person to take action at this time.
"Okay, you sit down for a moment and I'll go understand the situation."
Lai Haijin took a few long breaths before picking up the phone.
His first call was not to Wen Fan, but to another familiar friend of Mavericks Film and Television.
Then he made two more phone calls.
The last call was to Wen Fan, and he pressed the speakerphone button.
This time, Lai Haijin did not have the same gentle questioning attitude as before.
His first sentence was, "Young Master Wen, you asked Yiyi to play the second female lead, which is obviously against the rules. If you don't want to use Yiyi, you should tell us earlier, and we can withdraw!"
"No way, how can we be willing to let Yiyi go?" Wen Fan replied with a smile, "But what you just said, Lao Lai, is a bit too harsh. Zhang Chuchu and Xiao Wanzi are parallel heroines, how is it possible? Is she the second female lead? We definitely have no intention of neglecting Yiyi."
"You know which one of them has more scenes and attracts more attention," Lai Haijin said. "Can you tell me who the actor is who plays the little kid?"
"He is a good actor here that we are ready to praise. His name is Gu Yingjing. He is a regular majoring student who graduated from Shanghai Opera." Wen Fan said.
"She is your current girlfriend, right? This actor doesn't have any good works, so why did you make such a hasty decision? What qualifications does she have to take the leading role in this kind of production?" Lai Haijin suppressed his anger, "If you If I change it back, I won’t say anything... Otherwise, Yiyi will not be cast as the second female lead!"
"Oh, this is not easy to handle!" Wen Fan said regretfully, "This is the company's decision, and I can't refute it myself. Lao Lai, don't celebrities all do movies for money? What we gave Yiyi The remuneration has been written, it’s 10 million, is there anything else you’re not satisfied with? It’s just a TV series, not a movie by Mr. Hao He.”
"Are you reminding me that after signing the contract, if we withdraw, we will compensate you 10 million?" Lai Haijin said angrily with a smile.
"I never said that." Wen Fan said, "But if it comes to the point that none of us want to see, it is absolutely impossible for me to ask for a penny of compensation from Miss Yiyi. As long as we refund our Just pay the film in advance.”
"You have the guts!"
Lai Haijin hung up the phone.
He didn't speak for a while.
Buyiyi sat next to him, but Lai Haijin pressed the speakerphone button, so she could hear all the conversations.
Seeing this, she snorted coldly, "Lao Lai, it seems that you have offended Wen Fan a little bit!"
"Huh?" Lai Haijin was stunned.
"Don't think I don't know. Didn't you try to get a lot of people into "Love Across Time and Space" before, but they all turned them back?" Buyiyi said, "It's okay now. I've been squeezed out by them. You Do you think I’m embarrassed?”
Lai Haijin took a breath of air.
But he reacted immediately.
His plan is not that secret, and there are people at Mavericks Film and Television who won't keep it secret, so it's not surprising that Buyiyi knows about it.
However, Buyiyi said it so bluntly, which proved that she was already dissatisfied.
If he had turned the tide just now and asked Wen Fan to return this role to Buyiyi, maybe Buyiyi would not mention it again.
But now that he has not accomplished it, Buyiyi must express his dissatisfaction.
"Yiyi, listen to me." Lai Haijin calmed down and said: "Although I have my own selfish motives, or I am too arrogant, my actions will never affect you. I am not stupid, how could I do it for Others harm my number one star? This time they target you, they must have other plans."
Seeing Buyi Yi's thoughtful look, Lai Haijin continued: "I just asked my friends, and based on the intelligence, if my guess is good, they should want to use you to create a big hype... Think about it, how much controversy will it cause for a dignified young actress to be the second female lead in a TV series? How much of a topic will this bring to them?"
"Aren't they crazy?" Buyiyi said disdainfully, "What should I do if Gu Yingjing doesn't perform well? Wouldn't that mean I would be laughed at?"
"As long as she is above her standard, there is no way she can't perform well." Lai Haijin shook his head and said, "Teacher Chu Liuxiang's book is produced by the gold medal producer Cha Houxin and directed by the gold medal director Wei Minggong. How could she not do well? This TV series is a costume comedy and does not require great acting skills. It is a typical role that makes an actor!"
Buyiyi's face turned ugly.
What Lai Haijin said makes sense.
Even Buyiyi has figured it out a little bit.
Mavericks Films probably wants to use "Love Through Time" to cultivate a big star of its own.
This is much more cost-effective than using an external star like myself.
If the script isn't sure whether it's good or not, they might not dare to do it.
Now that they have determined that the script is very good, they don't have so many worries.
Thinking of this, Buyiyi couldn't bear it anymore. She returned to her office in the company, picked up her phone and dialed a number directly.
"Shen Huan~I was bullied!!"
Xiao Hua Dan said hotly.
