Seeing his expression, Zheng Yixuan asked directly: "Is there something wrong?"

Li Yan nodded and said calmly: "There is something going on on the set."

"Then let's go! We are getting together this time. We have had dinner and have a reunion. Zheng Yixuan is also a busy person. Since we have business, we just want to leave together.

After paying the bill, everyone left. When Li Yan drove away from the hotel, Liu Yuyang and others watched from a distance behind, discussing something in a low voice.

Li Yan left the set just before he came over for dinner in the morning. If something happened, Qiao Pan would not fail to tell him. He would give him the information now because something unexpected had happened!

The text message he just received online was from Qiao Pan. The message didn't even have time to be tactful, but directly asked Li Yan if he had any friends in society that he could talk to, or if he could urgently send Ji Rui's message to Li Yan.

The security guard called a group over, and now someone is causing trouble on the set!

This meaning is very obvious. What most people call gangsters, or people in society, often refer to those who come out to hang out. The gangsters may not be considered organized gangs, at least they are gangsters.

Li Yan was still a little strange, but Qiao Pan didn't call him. Instead, he sent a text message. I believe it was not convenient to call at this time. What made him strange was not that there were gangsters causing trouble, but how he got to this point since he turned on the phone.

Someone is causing trouble!

Generally speaking, when gangsters cause trouble to the crew, they may want to collect a little protection fee. Usually, they will get wind of it when the Internet starts. After all, they are not filming quietly.

Originally, Qiao Pan would handle such a matter by himself, and would report the maximum amount of loss to the investors. But now that he had been approached, Li Yan guessed that it was urgent or serious, so he drove straight to the set.

. He didn’t reply to Qiao Pan’s text message, because it was hard to say anything. He was not a gangster. If he was abroad, he might be able to find Yu Mocheng to sell face. If he was local, he would not have any friends in this field. And Jierui is now

During the reform, it is somewhat inappropriate to ask them to fight with gangsters. Even if they are frightened by a hundred people, they can't be stationed on the set every day, right?

In less than twenty minutes, Li Yan had returned to the set.

He left for only two or three hours. When he left, the studio was busy filming. At that time, the filming was the highlight of the day, and everyone had something to do. But now when I come here, I see that no one is working. There are many people.

There was a lot of discussion among the people gathered.

"I'm here, what's going on?" Li Yan dialed Qiao Pan's number.

When Qiao Pan heard Li Yan's call, he immediately ran out and found Li Yan. "Old Li, it's hard to say anything. Please find another place to talk to me."

He took Li Yan to a quiet room, and then said with a wry smile: "We are just a temporary studio here, not a film and television city specifically supported and protected by the government, so in terms of safety, we can only hire security guards ourselves.

Due to limited funds, our crew hired only a few security guards, who were only responsible for some daily guarding duties, and they had no way to cause trouble to organized groups.

Hearing this, Li Yan immediately understood some of his previous doubts. "So, after the movie started, someone came to collect protection fees?" That's right. Although I am not a city resident, I also know about this place.

The situation. For such a thing, calling the police will not solve the problem. The police cannot arrange people to protect the crew every day. They come as guerrillas to cause trouble, which will be very detrimental to us. Therefore, people from the Internet began to collect protection fees. Chu Yi and I

I also discussed and negotiated with them to make sure that after paying the money, they would not cause trouble and no one else would come to collect the protection fee, so I paid a protection fee. Because the amount was not very large, and it was inconvenient to file the bill.

"I didn't notify the company." Qiao Pan admitted that he had paid the protection fee.

"What about today? Another group of people?" Li Yan asked the key points directly.

Qiao Pan smiled bitterly: "If it were another group of people, it would be easier to handle. At least the people who come out to mess around will pay a little bit of credibility and collect protection fees. As long as the opponent is not too strong, they will still help out.

The same group of people came today. "They are probably greedy. They said it was a one-time protection fee before, but now they say they have to pay it on a monthly basis. The last one has been protected. Now they have to pay it for another month. And,"

The amount this time is a bit outrageous. We are asked to pay 200,000."

"Two hundred thousand? Damn it, didn't you just go and rob it?" Li Yan was a little funny. He only invested tens of millions in the whole movie, and the protection fee was two hundred thousand. No wonder Qiao Pan couldn't hold on anymore.

"I think," it's because there aren't many crews filming in designated locations in the city. Some of them are just a few sets of scenes and a few shots, which may be completed in one day or a few days. Or they are filmed in some scenic spots, and the safety of the scenic spots is very important.

If the local government and real estate developers are responsible, there will naturally be no problems. They came to us because they lacked experience and did not have a standard. So they took a few thousand yuan last time and settled the matter."

Li Yan nodded, "Some people have heard that making movies requires a lot of investment.

"That's right. And we're already convinced. If we had struck a big deal from the beginning, maybe we would have moved to another location to shoot. Now that we've shot more than half of it, it was too late for Qiao Pan to temporarily change the studio.

He gave Li Yan a cigarette and lit one himself.

Li lit the cigarette and took a puff: "I know about this matter and I will handle it.

How can I contact them? Why are they all gone?"

Qiao Pan said seriously: "This is the most troublesome part.

"Um?"

"Just now after we had lunch, everyone had a short rest. More than a dozen people came at once. Our security guards couldn't handle it at all. I talked to them and they put aside such a big problem. Then they

We couldn't agree on "harassing the set and not allowed to continue filming." We couldn't come up with 200,000 yuan in cash to beat them at once. Even if we gave it, I don't know if they would continue to come in a few days. Later, they beat people, and they were quite good at it.

Machine, even wants to harass actresses

During the previous preparations, Li Yan knew to some extent that the photographic equipment for filming movies was very expensive, and they were rented. If it was damaged, even 200,000 yuan would not be enough to solve the problem.

"Seeing that the discussion was fruitless, Ting Feng came forward and said that he would go with them and talk to their boss. Let them give us some time to withdraw the money." Xiao

Li Yan was a little surprised. Ting Feng was one of the male protagonists this time, and he was also the one with the highest salary. Because there were several couples of male and female protagonists, his role was less than 20 minutes, and his salary was discounted accordingly. Unexpectedly, as a charming person,

An expensive star. At a time like this, not only did he not put safety first, but he also stood up for the crew. It was really not easy.

Ting Fung has been in the industry for many years. At first he was young, frivolous and bohemian. Not only did he have many scandals, he was independent and did some outrageous things, but later he experienced more things and transformed into a mature and responsible man.

"This is serious,"

"So, I started to give you information to see if you have any friends who can contact some people in the local society, or we can bring a group of security guards to negotiate with them. If that doesn't work, we can only give them money, Qiao

Pan was anxious. When he sent the message, those people were still here, but now Ting Feng had gone with them. If something happened, it would not be 200,000 yuan's responsibility.

How do you want to contact them? I went to deal with it. Li Yan stood up.

Qiao Pan was a little hesitant. Li Yan's attitude reminded him of Ting Feng's. Did Lao Li want to replace Ting Feng himself?

Although he only knew Li Yan for more than half a year, when they first met, Li Yan was still in the business department of Paradise Group and was Wen Qianyi's partner and assistant. Of course, he didn't believe that Li Yan could know any big brother. Wang Gang just wanted to see

He asked other people for help. Now Li Yan has to go alone. "Are you sure?"

"Don't delay".

Li Yan's tone did not allow for rejection. Qiao Pan had no choice but to hand over a business card, "They said they had prepared the money. So I went to this place to find them. There is also a phone number on it. They also said that if Tingfeng gave me face, they would not be embarrassed."

Small

Taking the business card, Li Yan saw that it was a nearby leisure center. He had passed by it when he came just now and knew where it was. He opened the door and went out without saying much.

Bai Jie was also there, and she also saw Li Yan coming. She also knew what happened today. As soon as Li Yan came out, she was waiting outside.

"You want to solve it?" Bai Jie asked directly.

"Yeah." Li Yan nodded and walked away without saying anything more to her.

Bai Jie followed him for a few steps and then said: "Be careful! If it doesn't work, call the police!". It's none of your business, just do your thing!, Xiao

After leaving the set, Li Yan arrived at the leisure center a few minutes later.

After parking the car in the parking lot, Li Yan came to the leisure center. It had been open since 2 noon, but there were not many customers at the moment. The customer at the door bowed and shouted when he saw a customer coming.

After saying "Welcome", he came over and said, "Good afternoon, sir. Do you want to wash your feet, have a massage, or take a sauna?" I'm looking for someone." Li took out the business card.

Miss Zike was a little strange, but she didn't dare to neglect. She took the business card, looked at it, and then gave it back to him. She smiled and said, "This way, please!"

He took Li Yan to the elevator and helped him open the elevator, which was not busy: "Hello, go directly to the seventh floor."

After Li Yan entered the elevator, she helped him press the button for the seventh floor, and then exited. She did not accompany him, but it seemed that she had already gone to the front desk to use the intercom or intercom to notify the people above.
