Xiangshan Film and Television City, "Ambush" crew.

In each crew, the most intense conflicts are often not the actors and the actors, or even the directors and actors, but the directors and investors. The investor pays the money, and the director is the core of the whole film. The former often puts forward some requirements to the latter, and the latter basically does everything possible to complete it for the former.

Unless it is a famous director, most of the investors' suggestions will not be opposed by the director. However, investors also want to make money, so they will not make any strange suggestions. This is the consensus in the circle.

However, this consensus does not apply to the "Ambush" crew.

Luo Zhentao quickly got specific news from Deputy Director Li. He had a cold face and suppressed his anger: "I don't know how Han Yanghao coaxed the investor, but now the investor wants to replace him. The other party participated in "Ambush" "70% of the investment, now the attitude is very strong, Zheng director is not willing to do so, but the investors are not willing to give in."

The handsome and elegant boy narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Just want to replace me?"

Luo Zhentao hesitated for a moment: "...Yes."

Although the breach of contract is not good for the reputation of the crew, it is generally not heard by the audience. Rong Xu's remuneration was not very high at the beginning, and now it is easy for the investor to pay a liquidated damages.

Shaking her head silently, Rong Xu raised her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Han Yanghao, who was sitting there resting not far away, as if she didn't know anything. Suddenly raising the corners of his lips, he chuckled and said, "Brother Luo, what did I offend him?"

Luo Zhentao was angry and doubtful: "I don't know either, you haven't quarreled with him at all."

Rong Xu looked at Han Yanghao's back for a long time. After a long while, he sighed: "In this circle, there is no need for a reason to hate someone. Just to this extent, he has passed and crossed the line."

All morning, the crew of "Ambush" was suspended. There are only two weeks left before the broadcast, and the crew has only filmed three episodes of the plot, which is far from the bottom line of the TV station's broadcast.

Director Zheng was so angry that he and Han Yanghao's agent directly quarreled with Han Yanghao's agent in the crew, and even said something like "let's quit the stall", but the agent still smiled and said, "Director Zheng, think about it again. This is President Li's request."

As for Han Yanghao, the old god has been sitting on the ground and resting in his private lounge, and has never appeared.

Luo Zhentao naturally also participated in Zheng Dao's discussion, and he strictly asked investors to consider their own interests. Breach of contract will be infamous in the circle, and it is very unfavorable for investors, directors and actors themselves.

The three parties argued in the crew all morning.

Not far from them, Rong Xu watched calmly with the script in hand. From time to time, a staff member passed by him for various reasons and said a word or two of comfort to him.

Deputy Director Li, who specializes in managing actors, was so anxious that his head was sweating. Seeing that it was too stagnant to operate, he had to come to Rong Xu and said cautiously: "If the crew really breaches the contract, Rong Xu... do you think How to do?"

The simple and strong middle-aged man looked at himself with sincere eyes, and his voice contained helplessness and guilt. Hearing this, Rong Xu finally raised his head and looked away from the script. He looked at Assistant Director Li earnestly, his eyes fixed, as if he didn't know anything.

Deputy Director Li never expected that Rong Xu would react like this. Seeing the young man's calm expression, his irritable mood was inexplicably relaxed, and then he heard Rong Xu ask: "Brother Li, I remember that our stills and clips should be posted on the Internet the day after tomorrow, and then sent to the TV station a week later. , play the propaganda on a loop?"

Deputy Director Li nodded as a matter of course: "Yes."

Hearing this, Rong Xu smiled, he stood up and said, "I once heard a foreign director say that in the best production crew, the director always has the final say, and the investors and producers have to do it. The only thing is to 'meet all the director's requirements.' It's not good for any crew to be so passive all the time."

Not far away, Director Zheng, Luo Zhentao and Han Yanghao's agent were still arguing. On this side, Deputy Director Li opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Rong Xu closely, listening to the young man smiling and saying, "When I was reading the script today, I suddenly found that the name Huo Xi is very interesting. Brother Li, There is an old saying in Huaxia, where misfortune depends on fortune, and where fortune lies on misfortune.

There was a sudden roar in Deputy Director Li's mind, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered a text message his son once sent: [I think they are very good, you can take care of them a little, don't let that kind of big name play bullied.]

In the afternoon, the crew was still suspended.

The director, Luo Zhentao, and Han Yanghao's agent started a cold war, and there was embarrassment on the set. Although the other actors were very sympathetic to Rong Xu, Zhang Tongtong also wanted to help Rong Xu, but they did not have the strength to fight against Han Yanghao, so they could only curse him secretly. Han Yanghao, who plays big names and has no character.

Only, Deputy Director Li disappeared.

When Zhong Yi took a car from Shuoshe Airport to the crew of "Ambush", he saw such a strange scene. The crew was quiet, everyone was doing trivial chores, but no one was filming!

Isn't this normal? !

Zhong Yi rolled his eyes and quickly walked into the crew. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find Rong Xu.

Zhong Yi is also a third-tier star. Someone in the crew recognized him. He immediately pulled him and asked, "I'm Rong Shao's friend, why haven't I seen Rong Shao? I heard that he was filming here. I'm here to visit the class." He said, raising the cake box in his hand.

With the cute and coquettish tone and the white and tender face, the staff couldn't get angry with Zhong Yi at all, but thought the child was very cute. She quickly showed Zhong Yi the way: "I don't know who Rong Shao is, but you should have come to find Rong Xu, he is there to read the script."

Zhong Yi looked in the direction of her finger, and suddenly saw a figure, he was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he asked with a smile, "Where? Why didn't I see Rong Shao?"

The staff member quickly pointed it out again: "It's the one in the military uniform who was sitting on a chair and looking down at the script."

The smile on Zhong Yi's face suddenly froze.

It didn't take long before he carried the cake box to Rong Xu.

The light was suddenly blocked, Rong Xu couldn't help but raised his head, and suddenly saw a handsome and beautiful face. With big round eyes and brownish-yellow curly hair, this boy is very cute, not even a man. He looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.

But Rong Xu knew that Zhong Yi was already twenty-four years old.

After closing the script, Rong Xu smiled lightly: "Long time no see, Zhong Yi."

As if he didn't expect the other party to be so calm, Zhong Yi was stunned, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes quickly, he quickly hid it, but all fell into Rong Xu's line of sight. He put the cake box aside, sat beside Rong Xu carelessly, and subconsciously wanted to pull Rong Xu's hand, but Rong Xu "inadvertently" raised his hand to put the script, just staggered.

Although Zhong Yi was a little surprised, he didn't think too much about it. He said in a sweet voice, "Young Master Rong, we haven't seen you for so long, and you didn't come to see me. I heard that you actually went to play, which is really annoying to me. Surprised, I didn't believe it at first, but Zhang Feng showed me the makeup photo of "Chasing the Deer" that you took, and I believed it. How did you come to act, Rong Shao?"

Although the tone seemed intimate, Zhong Yi's voice was still a little sharp when it came to "Chasing the Deer".

Rong Xu looked at him with a smile, sat quietly beside him, and said, "It's very interesting to film."

The smile on Zhong Yi's face suddenly froze, and he squeezed his fingers tightly to suppress the anger in his heart.

interesting

Young master like you, if you want to play in the entertainment industry, then you can play, and what are you doing with him to grab a role! Even if he is injured and can't act, then you take away yourself and shoot? what is this? This world has never heard of the role of the gold master robbing people!

Zhong Yi lowered his head, and his bangs dropped suddenly, covering the resentment in his eyes. He said aggrievedly: "Well, it's quite interesting. Young Master Rong, you don't tell me when you change your phone. I came to you today to tell you... I think it's quite interesting what you said to me before. OK."

Rong Xu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Zhong Yi waited for a while, before waiting for the other party's answer, he raised his head strangely, only to see the other party still smiling at him.

Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, then: "!!!"

Damn, why are you laughing, this Rong Xu doesn't feel right!

To be honest, Zhong Yi saw Rong Xu when he first entered the set. At that time, he only saw Rong Xu's profile, this face was really handsome and beautiful, he thought it was some unknown star. When he heard that it was Rong Xu, he suddenly became angry.

Isn't Rong Xu the one who killed Master Matt? Why did it suddenly become like this

The fixed makeup photo in "Chasing the Deer" has already made Zhong Yi's nose crooked with anger. He pointed to the photo and said to his agent Zhang Feng several times, "This is definitely PS, P's is too fake." But now, seeing the other party's handsome appearance in uniform, he doesn't know what to say, and he even thinks... In terms of image and temperament, Rong Xu is more suitable for the entertainment industry than himself!

It was clear that Rong Xu was looking for him with the role before, hoping to get in touch with him. He was amused when he saw the shy look on this kid's face when he was in love for the first time. Why is this kid so calm now

Zhong Yi didn't know that the reason why Rong Xu answered him with a smile was because he didn't know what the other party was talking about!

"That thing you said"

... what was said

However, Zhong Yi obviously did not have the patience of Rong Xu, so he quickly changed the subject awkwardly and asked loudly, "It's strange, why are you not filming today? I heard Brother Han say that this film is a weekly drama. , it will be broadcast soon."

Everyone was immediately attracted by his voice.

Soon, Zhong Yi got the reason from his assistant. His eyes lit up, and he said to Rong Xu, "Young Master Rong, don't get angry with Brother Han, he is just a little temperamental sometimes. I have a good relationship with him. I will talk to him, and he will know what to do. You Wait, I'll be back soon." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yi immediately got up and walked to Han Yanghao's private lounge, and Liu Rong Xu looked at him with a half-smile.

For the whole hour after that, Zhong Yi stayed in Han Yanghao's lounge and didn't come out, and the so-called "I'll be back soon" didn't come true at all.

The staff in the crew were very strange, only the second female lead, Yi Lan, quietly walked up to Rong Xu and whispered to him, "Zhong Yi also participated in the film I played last year, and he is related to Han Yanghao in the crew. Not bad. Rong Xu, you have to be careful, I don't know what your relationship is with Zhong Yi, but... I don't think he is very good."

Rong Xu looked at her in surprise, and saw Yi Lan smiled bitterly: "I know I shouldn't be close to you at this time, but I don't think you did anything wrong. Anyway, I'm just a second- and third-tier star, let him do whatever he wants. "

Rong Xu slowly lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Sister Yi, thank you."

At this moment, in Han Yanghao's private lounge, Zhong Yi was sitting on the sofa with an uncertain expression.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but ask again: "You said that Rong Xu was exiled by the Rong family? Are you sure about this, Brother Han? He is also the only bloodline of the Rong family. If he is exiled, Wouldn't the Rong family have no future?"

Han Yanghao took a sip of the drink and snorted coldly: "Mr. Li and Rong's have cooperation, which she told me herself. Although the second master Rong has no children, why should he give Rong Xu his career? President Li Said that Rong Rong moved out of the Rong family a long time ago, because the second master Rong kicked him out. Or do you think, if Rong Rong had the Rong family as his backing, he would make weekly dramas like ours? He would definitely Take a leading role and find a famous director."

Zhong Yi's face turned white and red.

Han Yanghao sneered and said: "You, if you can't figure out anything, just rush up hot, don't be deceived by his appearance. Do you think he is the gold owner? He is a paper tiger! By the way, how is his kung fu in bed? Or are you from the top? That kid is pretty decent, and if you're from the top, then you won't be at a disadvantage."

"Damn it! Fortunately, I didn't agree to date him just now. What is Rong Xu, who dares to charge a lot of money in front of me, pretending to be a rich man?" Zhong Yi slammed the sofa hard, he stood up and said : "Brother Han, then it's settled. I also think the second male lead in this film is not bad. Since he Rong Xu stole my role in "Chasing the Deer", I will rob him this time. Home, who does he think he is? He's an idiot!"

Han Yanghao laughed: "Okay, it just so happened that President Li just called me. Let's go out now and see what Rong Xu has to say. If he dares to pretend to me in the crew, he must have the capital. !"

With a "click", the door of the lounge, which had been closed all day, was finally opened from the inside. The staff and actors in the crew looked up one after another, but Rong Xu was still looking down at his mobile phone, wondering what he was thinking.

At the gate of Xiangshan Film and Television City, a taxi slowly stopped. Before the car left, the driver said excitedly: "My daughter really likes you, and my daughter-in-law likes you very much! I like your "Twilight Voice", "Steel Teeth" and "Broken City" very much , Qin Cheng, you have to do your best, you must do your best!"

Qin Cheng: "…Thank you."

The uncle in his fifties is clenching his fingers in front of you, showing off his cuteness, come on, um, presumably everyone is a little helpless.

Qin Cheng has been here several times before Xiangshan Film and Television City, and he has long been familiar with the way. As if completely ignoring the agent behind him, Qin Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, walking like a stroll in a leisurely courtyard, but the cold and powerful aura was directly suppressed, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by three degrees.

The two walked like this for ten minutes, and Xu Jin finally couldn't bear it any longer: "... I was wrong, Young Master Qin, I didn't know that car would break down! And I can't blame my phone for running out of power... Well, It's my fault I didn't notice the phone was dead. But we're not too late, it's only 5pm, and although it's true that we waited almost two hours for a taxi in the wilderness, it's not here … "

Qin Cheng raised his eyes quickly, and threw the knife coldly.

Xu Jin: "..."

After a while, he raised his right hand and said solemnly: "Tell me, Young Master Qin, who are you looking for, or is you looking for Mr. Liu? I heard that "The King of Qin" is filming in Xiangshan, I will take you there Find him. Today I will work hard without complaint, do you think it is okay?"

Hearing this, Qin Cheng finally stopped: "Go look for it, where is the "Ambush" crew?"

"Oh, I've already inquired where "The King of Qin" is, at..." The voice suddenly stopped, and Xu Jin raised his head suddenly: ""Ambush"? What "Ambush"?"

Qin Cheng cast a low glance at him: "It's "Ambush", you are responsible for finding it."

Xu Jin: "..."

There are not twenty or fifteen crews who film at the same time in the film and television city every day!

The film and television city is so big, which corner do you ask him to find an unknown small crew!

The author has something to say: Zhong Yi [Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo]: The gold master? I bother!

Rong Rong [Standing Hands]: Did I say that I am the gold master

Qin Chengcheng: Come to be the gold owner of the baby, come to be the gold owner of the baby, please take care of it, the baby will give you a warm bed?(? ???ω??? ?)?.
