This time, even if Zhang Xiaoke could endure it, he was a little angry. He was not a good-tempered person, so he had no choice but to tolerate and accommodate over and over again, finally becoming both a father and a mother. Halfway through, the performance was about to stop, which made him furious for a moment, and he had already forgotten what he couldn't afford to offend.
He pushed the staff away angrily, strode up to Chen Chu and Xia Zixun with a livid face, his eyes almost bursting with fire, stared at Xia Zixun, and said unceremoniously: "Xia Zixun, what's wrong with you? Can it still be filmed? Do you have any qualities as a professional actor? If you can't film it, just make it clear here and I will replace you immediately. I still don't believe it. Without you Xia Zixun, I can't film this film. , at worst it will take more time and film! Moreover, I have to appeal to the Film Association, and I will ban you so that you will never receive any drama contracts again!"
After all, he is also a big-name director and has a high ranking in the entertainment industry. When he really got angry, it was not something that a green tea person like Xia Zixun, who relied on his physical strength, could handle it head-on. He was so frightened by the momentum that he turned pale and quickly said pitifully. He glanced at Chen Chu sadly.
Chen Chu obviously didn't take Zhang Xiaoke seriously as he did at the beginning. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised a sneer, and said tepidly: "Director Zhang, you are quite angry, but do you mean what you said? It’s too much. Everyone is in the same circle. We don’t see each other when we look up. Isn’t it bad to do some things perfectly?”
Zhang Xiaoke snorted coldly and asked domineeringly: "Not so good? Then did you ever think that it was not good before you did this? I am the director of this play, and all my reputation rests on this play. Go ahead, I’m going to gamble with you on the reputation I have accumulated over the past 20 to 30 years. If this drama turns out to be a bad movie, have you ever thought about my fate? The reason why I, Zhang Xiaoke, am here today This position relies on credibility, and my name is the guarantee of box office. Investors trust not the script or the market, but me, Zhang Xiaoke!"
He joined the film industry and has been in the entertainment industry for 20 to 30 years. The reason why he has become a big-name director is because of the box office. As long as the campus youth-themed movies he directed were almost always box office hits, they also indirectly made many stars famous. Over time, they naturally became famous. Everyone in the circle knew that Zhang Xiaoke made movies with this theme. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed to be a hit, but it definitely won’t be bad at the box office.
But again, there are pros and cons. The higher you stand, the more painful the fall will be. Zhang Xiaoke's movies have indeed done well at the box office so far, and even his name has become a guarantee. However, as long as he makes a bad movie, or has a movie that does not do well at the box office and the audience does not buy it, will he be good? The reputation that can easily be accumulated over decades will be wasted, and endless doubts will surely follow.
You know, the people who live in this circle are not good men and women, and the so-called feelings are nonsense. What exists here are only interests, and it is very common to add insult to injury.
Qin Hao didn't expect that this so-called famous director, who had been extremely frustrated from the beginning of their meeting, would have a moment of explosion. It surprised him, and he secretly sighed that the hard-working director finally got up like this.
However, this time was indeed a bit short. Chen Chu looked unkind and stared at Zhang Xiaoke with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Director Zhang, I know you are very powerful and prestigious in the circle, but you have to understand , who are you talking to. I have a hundred ways to ruin your reputation in this circle and make you unable to stay. Let me ask you, without this circle, what else can you do? I am different. I don’t mix in this circle. You can still live a good life. You know, when it comes to doing certain things, I am an expert. So, please, Director Zhang, can you think about it for yourself and your family, take back what you just said, and be harmonious so that we can continue to cooperate. Isn’t it?”
Zhang Xiaoke immediately became silent. Although he was very angry at Chen Chu's threatening words, his reason told him that he was not someone he could afford to offend. Don't ruin the rest of his life because of his recklessness.
"Actually, it's normal for Zi Xun to be angry, and it's not a big deal. In the circle, it's normal for seniors to teach juniors. Miss Xiao Yuanyuan is a newcomer who hasn't debuted yet. On the first day she joined the group, she didn't teach her seniors When we greet each other, Zi Xun will inevitably feel disrespected. Of course, it is wrong to delay the progress of the filming. I will help persuade her to finish filming. As for other things, we will talk about it after filming is completed. Director Zhang, Do you think this is okay?" Chen Chu saw that Zhang Xiaoke had become timid, and his attitude immediately became slightly softer and no longer so domineering.
Zhang Xiaoke was a little dumbfounded. It seemed hard to imagine that such reasonable words came from the mouth of Chen Chu, an arrogant and domineering guy who dominated the crew. He quickly nodded in agreement; "Okay, everything is for this show." , I was a little too excited just now, don’t take it to heart. Work has started, work has started..."
Xiao Yuanyuan heard from the sidelines that a large part of the reason why Xia Zixun got angry was because she didn't understand the rules and didn't say hello. She felt a little panicked. Naturally, she didn't want to cause trouble to the crew, so she quickly stood up and apologized to Xia Zixun; " Miss Xia, I'm sorry, because I haven't debuted yet, so I don't know much about these rules. In fact, I didn't mean to disrespect you. I really didn't mean it at all. I'm really sorry. I apologize to you... "
Xia Zixun snorted coldly, and was about to speak to teach Xiao Yuanyuan a lesson, but Chen Chu suddenly spoke first; "Miss Xiao, you don't have to blame yourself, Zixun is not such a stingy person. Since it is a misunderstanding, just talk it over. Let’s film the movie now, and we’ll talk about the rest after it’s over, maybe we can all become friends.”
These words completely dumbfounded Xia Zixun. She glanced at Chen Chu extremely unhappy. She promised to help me vent my anger and teach Xiao Yuanyuan a lesson, but she actually changed her mind? Which side are you on
Although she was dissatisfied, she managed to obtain these resources only by relying on Chen Chu. Chen Chu was the financial backer behind her. If she dared to offend, she had to remain silent. After Xiao Yuanyuan and others left, she said dissatisfiedly; "Mr. Chen , what do you mean? Didn’t you agree to help me teach the people of Cai Yiyan Company a lesson? Why did it turn out to be you who spoke for them? Is it possible that you have a crush on that Xiao Yuanyuan? "
"Do I need to explain to you?" Chen Chu's expression turned cold, "Xia Zixun, clarify your position and how to do things. I have a sense of discretion in my mind. You have to figure it out. Since I can praise you, naturally I can also get rid of you and don’t do anything to make me unhappy, understand? Put on your makeup and get ready for the show and behave better for me."
It was a matter of life and fortune, so Xia Zixun didn't dare to talk back to Chen Chu, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Of course, all these words did not escape Qin Hao's ears without exception. A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and he already had a plan in his heart. (To be continued)
