Director Wang was very surprised, he quickly put down the things in his hand, got up and walked quickly to Qiao Yiyang's rest shed, and asked the assistant in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Wasn't he okay a few days ago? Why? Suddenly playing cards?"
The assistant staggered behind Director Wang. Hearing this, he wiped the cold sweat from his face and replied, "That might be the tranquility before the storm."
"Quiet ass!" Wang Dao yelled angrily, "What does he want? I can get used to him, but I can't play wild on my territory, or even the best actor will have to pack up and get out of my way!"
Of course, Director Wang said that. If he really wanted him to drive away Qiao Yiyang, he would definitely not have the courage. After all, Qiao Yiyang was the only one in the crew who could guarantee the box office.
After listening to Director Wang's words, the assistant sighed inwardly, thinking that even if Director Wang had great skills, he might not be able to meet the needs of the actor Qiao this time.
Otherwise, where would Director Wang need to be a director? Just change careers to become a doctor, and it’s still a doctor with two brushes.
The two rushed to Qiao Yiyang's resting shed, and when they stepped in, they clearly felt the almost frozen atmosphere in the room.
There were a lot of people in the rest shed. In addition to Qiao Yiyang and his small group, there was also another guide and planner. The three staff members of the logistics team stood by the side with a sad face.
Seeing Wang Dao come in, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.
"Director Wang!" The planner shouted aggrievedly, "Brother Zhou said that Teacher Qiao is not used to the lunch he ordered before and wants to change to another restaurant. What do you think?"
Qiao Yiyang's thinness is obvious to all in the crew. Whether it's a dinner party when he just joined the group, or a work meal during filming this week, Qiao Yiyang can't eat much, and sometimes even puts down his chopsticks after taking two bites.
Everyone in the crew more or less guessed that Qiao Yiyang was suffering from anorexia, but after all, it was someone's private matter, so they didn't say it explicitly.
But now, Qiao Yiyang's anorexia has directly affected everyone's work. Some staff members were suddenly unsteady, anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to show it all on their faces, so they buried their heads and waited for Director Wang to respond. response to the matter.
On the way here, Director Wang imagined countless reasons why Qiao Yiyang might play a big name. He thought that Qiao Yiyang and others were dissatisfied with the current script or remuneration, and wanted to put pressure on him.
I didn't expect this to be the reason...
"You can do what you can, and it's not like the sky is falling. Look at your frowning faces."
Director Wang waved his hand in disapproval, turned his head and said to the assistant who came with him, "You go and talk to the restaurant, and ask them to prepare a separate meal for Xiao Qiao's group when preparing three meals, and leave the dishes to them. It's up to you to choose."
The planner sighed, "If things could be resolved so easily, we wouldn't be standing here."
The staff of the logistics department continued: "As early as a month ago, we signed a contract with the restaurant, and the portions and dishes were all pre-ordered, so they refused our request to change the menu."
Director Wang was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his method: "Otherwise, we can make up for the meal fee, and we can just reopen the small stove and let them prepare another meal for delivery."
"No..." The staff member shook his head and said, "Mr. Qiao's side has only eight people, which is too few. That restaurant won't take orders under twenty."
In short, if you want to solve this problem, you can only abolish the previous contract and sign a new contract with the restaurant. In this way, all the meal fees paid out will be wasted.
Neither the assistant nor the planner dared to make decisions without authorization, but Bai Guangjian, the only producer, rarely came to the scene, so they could only ask Director Wang for help.
It's a pity that even Director Wang is in trouble this time. He has absolute right to speak in filming, but he is not in charge of the general direction of the use and flow of funds.
Moreover, the amount of re-signing the contract is not a small amount, and it still needs the nod of the largest investor, Bai Guangjian.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Qiao Yiyang, whose cheeks were flushed with shame, pressed his fist to his lips and let out two awkward coughs. He raised his head and said to Zhou Hai who was standing in front of him like a mountain: "Brother Zhou, forget it. Well, it's not that serious."
Zhou Hai turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Forget it? Why forget it? When they found us again and again, they patted their chests and promised to take good care of food and drink. After the show, who knew they would be so arrogant, and they didn't even bubble up in their actions."
Hearing these rude words, Wang Dao suddenly felt guilty.
Before he found Qiao Yiyang, he had indeed heard from his friends that Qiao Yiyang was suffering from anorexia, and he repeatedly promised that he would not treat Qiao Yiyang badly in terms of diet...
However, the working meal ordered by the crew for Qiao Yiyang's team is completely irrelevant to the word "mistreatment". The average price of a lunch box is 80 yuan, and the price of the lunch box for Zu Qi and the second girl is not even half of theirs.
The more Wang Dao thought about it, the more irritable he felt. He felt that Qiao Yiyang's anorexia was like a time bomb that would explode at any time, and it also became an excuse for Zhou Hai to launch attacks several times.
However, at this point, Director Wang didn't have the courage to let Qiao Yiyang's team get out of the way as he said, so he had to slow down and said that he would discuss with Bai Guangjian and give them a satisfactory answer.
…
After filming that night, Director Wang called Bo Guangjian to tell him about it.
Bo Guangjian is indeed the boss of the company who has experienced strong winds and waves. He immediately made a decision and ordered a few staff from the logistics department to set up a simple kitchen on the set. The ingredients and condiments are readily available, so that Zhou Hai and the others can make their own clothes and food.
Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly praised this good method.
Afterwards, Director Wang couldn't help complaining: "Qiao Yiyang's accompanying doctor is just like a decoration, it doesn't play a role at a critical time, and their group's lunch box is really not cheap, our directors and screenwriters made it. The budget for a working meal is only 50 yuan, and Zu Qi and the other actors don’t even have 40 yuan…”
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Guangjian suddenly exclaimed: "What did you say? Zu Qi is eating a forty-dollar lunch?!"
Director Wang was taken aback by Bai Guangjian's sudden reaction. He subconsciously thought that the other party thought that forty yuan was too expensive, so he murmured, "Actually, it's not even forty yuan, it should be thirty-five-six..."
Bai Guangjian was instantly angry, and even through the phone, he could hear the sound of slapping the table over there: "I took a full five million for you to film, and you actually deducted the actor's diet? Zu Qi is a male supporting actor anyway. , or the person I introduced to you, and you mistreat him like that?"
"..." The cold sweat on Director Wang's face fell like a waterfall, and he explained in a panic, "Oh, Mr. Bai, a lunch box of forty yuan is already a luxurious meal. Look at what other crews have ordered for the actors. Meals are all about ten or twenty dollars."
Bai Guangjian's tone was tough: "Don't explain so much to me. Since Qiao Yiyang is eating an 80 yuan lunch, you should also upgrade Zu Qi's lunch to the 80 yuan level."
Director Wang replied weakly, "Yes, yes, I will do what you said..."
At the end, Bai Guangjian urged again: "You can quietly remind Zu Qi in Zu Qi's ear that I raised his lunch budget, but don't disclose my decision to anyone else."
"Hehe, good Mr. Bai, you have a hundred hearts." Director Wang smiled, MMP in his heart.
Bai Guangjian's intention couldn't be more obvious. He just wanted to make a good impression on Zu Qi, and he didn't want everyone to put the word "eccentric" on him, so he pulled Wang Gui out as a shield.
Wang Dao was angry for a long time, and he had to do what the father of the gold master said.
…
three days later.
A makeshift kitchen appeared on the set, and everyone watched curiously.
Although the assistant kept saying that the kitchen and the ingredients in the kitchen were shared by everyone, everyone with a discerning eye knew that these things were all prepared for Qiao Yiyang's group who had been noisy for a while.
Therefore, only Qiao Yiyang's team occupied the kitchen openly, and others didn't even dare to approach, for fear that they would have something to do with Qiao Yiyang's anorexia, and they would not be able to wash themselves if they jumped into the Yellow River.
But it turns out that Qiao Yiyang's anorexia has nothing to do with what he eats. Even if Zhou Hai racked his brains tossing in the kitchen, the dishes he made still didn't get the slightest favor from Qiao Yiyang.
Now, no matter how thick-skinned Zhou Hai was, he couldn't continue to make trouble with Director Wang, so he immersed himself in the small simple kitchen all day, and cooked food for Qiao Yiyang in different ways.
On the other hand, the first time Zu Qi opened the lid, he found that his work meal was not the same as before, it seemed to be much more luxurious, and there was a chicken leg on top.
At first Zu Qi thought it was just this meal, but he did not expect that in the next three days, the dishes of each of his working meals would be extremely rich. On the other hand, Xiao Deng Zi and Duan Kai did not change much.
Little Dengzi was crying with envy.
Zu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, that is, the staff of the logistics department gave him the wrong work meal.
So this afternoon, when Director Wang came to the rest shed to talk to him about the next shooting method, Zu Qi talked about the recent work meal, and said that maybe someone from the logistics department made a mistake.
Wang Dao wanted to go along with the flow and say that these were all what Mr. Bai meant, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Deng Zi and Duan Kai both sitting beside him and playing with their mobile phones. The words that poured into the throat rolled around his mouth, and they changed completely after they said it. Sample: "These are the wishes of your fans, you can eat them with confidence."
Zu Qi frowned: "A work meal from my fans?"
"Hmm..." Wang Dao replied vaguely, following the principle of less talk and fewer mistakes, "Almost so." Then he quickly changed the subject.
Zu Qi saw the strangeness of Director Wang, but Director Wang didn't want to say it, and he didn't ask much.
After Director Wang left, little Deng Zi, who had been eavesdropping on the side, leaned forward and said, "Brother Qi, I don't think it was given by fans, not to mention that before fans send gifts, they will be sent by fans. The logistics team will notify you in advance, and judging from the number of your meager fans, there will be no fans who will do this."
Zu Qi was expressionless, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Deng Zi on the head: "Okay, you can shut up."
Little Dengzi clutched his fat head aggrievedly: "I'll tell the truth, maybe someone who likes you did this? I think it's very likely that it's President Xue."
When Xue Jue was mentioned, Zu Qi's heart suddenly panicked, and his heart beat violently.
He didn't have time to think about why Xue Jue's name made him have such a big reaction. There was only one question in his mind -
Is this really what Xue Jue did
