People on the Internet are saying that Qicheng Pictures has been fooled.
Just wait and see the effect after the show airs.
If the results are good, then Qicheng Pictures will be completely laughed to death.
The assistant muttered in his mind and went to contact Director Liu.
But not long after, the assistant came back with his cell phone.
"Mr. Yao." The assistant exhaled and said to Mr. Yao, "Director Liu has rejected our investment."
"What?" Mr. Yao stood up, "When did Liu Runlin become so tough?"
"He thought it was over after getting Tan Yue's investment this time? Doesn't he plan to make movies again in the future? Tan Yue invested this time, but what about next time? Who will he look for to invest? Doesn't he have to ask us?" Mr. Yao said angrily.
"Director Liu's original words are that Tan Yue has made up for all the investment we withdrew. Even if we invest again, the money is wasted. There is nowhere to spend it. The existing funds can already cover the production of the crew. Wait until we get to the extreme. Even if we do have something to spend, when the cost increases, the profit will be less. When the time comes, the money given to us will be less, which will also be a loss for us." said the assistant.
"Besides, we can't let him withdraw Tan Yue's investment." The assistant did not dare to say Director Liu's original words.
The original words of Director Liu were, Tan Yue came to me in times of need and invested in me. At this time, you are about to invest again. I will return Tan Yue's funds
I, Liu Runlin, am not such an ungrateful person who burns bridges when crossing rivers.
If I were, I would have changed Tan Mo long ago.
But no, Tan Mo stood up and helped me so much during the most difficult time. If it weren't for Tan Mo, I wouldn't even have a chance to start filming.
Therefore, I cannot trade her for investment.
Now, I can't even withdraw Tan Yue's investment and use yours again.
You can withdraw when you want and invest when you want. How can such a good thing happen
The assistant was well aware of Mr. Yao's temper and did not dare to speak out the original words.
The assistant was also very curious. Director Liu said so rudely that he didn't plan to cooperate with them again in the future
When Director Liu said this to his assistant, Tan Jinqi was also there.
Director Liu may not have intentionally told Tan Jinqi.
But even so, it was very useful to listen to Tan Jinqi.
"Director Liu, if you say so, the future cooperation with Qi Cheng..." Tan Jinqi asked.
Director Liu didn't care: "I know Mr. Yao's assistant to some extent. He is quite knowledgeable. He may not say some harsh words to Mr. Yao exactly, but will only pick up some and say them more gently. Then As an assistant, I do my work based on the principle of keeping a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future."
"However, even if he said it, it doesn't matter. Let's not talk about other industries, let's just say that in our circle, we are all dealing with each other for profit. When you are profitable, you have friends all over the world. But once you are in trouble, All your friends are gone. When you are not famous, you have no friends. When you are famous, all your friends come. So as long as I can maintain the standard of filming dramas and have good results, if he, Mr. Yao, wants to make money, he has to come to me."
"But if one of my dramas fails, no matter how good my relationship with him is, he will never invest in me again." Director Liu saw it very clearly, "You see, now that I have rejected him, he is angry. When I finish my next drama and I see some profits, do you think he will come? In this industry, except for profit, everything else is illusory."
"Of course, there will still be friends. Director Hou is one of the few loyal people. If it hadn't been for your family this time, he would have sacrificed his face to get investment for me. You are indeed lucky to be his student. But not many people can work so hard for students. I didn’t have any scenes to shoot here, so I introduced you to me. I even came here to see you, saying I wanted to see your performance, but actually I wanted to support you."
Tan Jinqi nodded: "I know."

This storm is generally over, but there are still some details that the crew needs to wrap up.
This little detail is who leaked the news about the crew.
"This incident is over for netizens, but it's not over for us within the crew." That night, when the work was over, Director Liu called his assistant and Tan Jinqi into the room for a meeting.
Director Hou left on the second day after arriving, so he couldn't stay here for long.
I just came over to see Tan Jinqi and give him support.
Leave when the goal is achieved.
"Who leaked the news this time must be found out!" Director Liu said sternly.
"The information leaked this time is too accurate. If you leak this this time, what if you leak other things on the crew later? By then, the costumes, stills, actors' lines, and even the script may all be leaked. Then what else will our drama show? The audience has watched all the leaked photos." Director Liu said solemnly.
"The scale of this drama is large, there are many actors in the group, and the teachers are not all so harmonious and easy to get along with. If there is some quarrel and secret fight between them, and it is leaked again, it will be another negative news." Tan Jinqi Ye Said, "No matter what kind of news it is, it is not good for the show."
"Jin Qi is right." Director Liu nodded.
Since Tan Yue became the largest investor, Director Liu has become more polite and approachable to Tan Jinqi.
"But how to check this?" The assistant scratched his head and said, "In our crew, not to mention the main actors, there are so many supporting roles that I can't even remember their faces, let alone the extras. There are also many field staff, prop teachers, etc., there are just too many people.”
Tan Jinqi thought for a while and said, "But I don't think it has anything to do with the marginalized people on the crew."
"What do you say?" Director Liu frowned.
"I don't know if my analysis is correct or not. Director Liu, please listen to it first." Tan Jinqi said modestly.
After Director Liu nodded, Tan Jinqi said: "This is what I think. If it was just the paparazzi or some people who learned about the crew through various channels, it would definitely not be so accurate. Because the paparazzi only photograph artists, and they get the news through various channels. There are too many people through word of mouth, and if it is passed around, the news will be spread incorrectly."
"Furthermore, since the news can only be obtained through gossip, even if the other party turns to the most up-line person, that person must only be on the periphery." Tan Jinqi analyzed, "Then the problem is, can the people on the periphery know? Is it so clear?"
"The extras and some minor supporting actors don't even know who the screenwriter is. The extras don't have scripts, and the books in the hands of the supporting actors only have a few pages. Moreover, we only send messages to the extras two days in advance. Each company, let them notify the people to come over."
In the film and television city, there are many extras waiting for jobs, and there are also many contract companies for extras, just like domestic service companies.
