Chapter 276 Discrimination, or Discrimination
Jing Jian is not ignorant, but at a considerable time, he seems quite strong. Therefore, after Anthony invited him, Jing Jian deliberately took Cao Haiyan to accompany him, which is to hint to Anthony: I am quite dissatisfied with the first batch of candidates you recommend!
When Anthony saw Cao Haiyan beside Jing Jian, he was indeed stunned, but after the greetings, he still got to the point: "Bramble, there is no need to do this, there is no need to do this. If you are not satisfied with Huagli, Fenori and others, you can replace people through our CAA. But your elimination will completely ruin their future. So discuss with you, keep a low profile, don't expel them, let them find a reason to resign, and our CAA will change the candidates for you, how about?"
Anthony is indeed pleading for Wagri and the others. In fact, for CAA, there are not many new customers like Wagri and not many less, which doesn't matter at all. However, it's not very wonderful to fire a group like Jing Jian.
Wagli and the others are all recommended candidates for CAA. If they are abandoned by investors because their abilities do not meet the requirements, there is no problem at all.
However, Jing Jian’s situation is completely different. As the most basic professional ethics, producers should supervise the filming of the film and safeguard the interests of investors; directors and action directors should also shoot the films that investors want to shoot according to the requirements of investors. Otherwise, the film industry will not be in chaos? Without rules, who will invest in movies in the future?
In fact, there are two reasons for this: First, of course, Jing Jian is a newcomer, and will be somewhat excluded and bullied; Second, Jing Jian is a foreigner, especially Chinese, who is discriminated against. Think about it, that Zhang John, who is also a Chinese American, can also discriminate, so let alone those other people.
However, no one expected that Jing Jian's reaction would be so fierce and uncompromising. It would be a death-death battle at the beginning. Not to mention Jing Jian's losses, if this matter caused a lot of controversy, Huagli and the others would definitely be ruined, and the reputation of CAA was also greatly affected. The main crew members you recommended by CAA actually wanted to undermine the investors? They still wanted to threaten investors? So, who would dare to come to you in the future?
So Anthony's meaning is that it's okay to replace people, but don't involve CAA. Everyone is the leader, and this idea is understandable, but... what about Jing Jian's losses? Are you just swallowing your anger?
Of course, Jing Jian would not accept Anthony's statement: "Anthony, as an investor, I will face direct losses. Now that the film is shut down, the crew's expenses are all borne by me, at least 34 million more. Who should compensate for these losses? Is it your CAA? Yes, I don't want to cause trouble, and I also want to continue to cooperate with your CAA, but will I let those bastards go easily? Obviously it is impossible. I will let them, and everyone in Hollywood understand that if anyone offends me, I will make him live worse than death and spend money? Haha, I don't care at all!"
Jing Jian was mentally prepared for paying tuition fees and was willing to spend some money to spend the novice village period. But since the money was spent, he must not be unclear. At least he should also kill the chicken to scare the monkeys so that those in the future can understand their bottom line.
"You are too voluntary." Seeing that Jing Jian was not at all comfortable, Anthony was also very troubled, "Bramble, if you do this, you will completely hurt others and yourself, and you will be criticized in the circle. Will you stop shooting movies in the future?"
"Bad comments? Joke!" Jing Jian smiled contemptuously, "I just made Hollywood more sober. American bosses are not easy to mess with, and Chinese bosses are not easy to mess with either!"
"What do you mean..."
"It's very simple. CAA supports me, and I try not to involve CAA. As for those people, I will never let them go." Jing Jian said at the end.
...
After leaving, staring at Jing Jian's face, Cao Haiyan asked carefully: "Xiao Jian, aren't you afraid of... aren't you afraid of them?"
"Are you talking about suppression?" Jing Jian smiled slightly, "Actually, if it were me, I would definitely suppress it. The reason is unreasonable, it is really unreasonable. It is because of discrimination, which should be considered... a kind of discrimination in the country!"
"Why?" Cao Haiyan asked curiously.
Jing Jian said: "If I were a European and American boss, or even a Chinese American, Hollywood would not treat me like this. This behavior has surpassed the violating life and is completely the worst fraud. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in advance!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Cao Haiyan comforted her with Jing Jian in her arms.
"I'm not angry." Although he said so, Jing Jian was still angry. "If China's investment is very important to Hollywood, if China's film market is large, who dares to do that?"
"What should I do? You have lost so much, it's $34 million." Cao Haiyan seemed very worried.
Jing Jian smiled: "The money earned by the record is almost over 20 million US dollars now. I can still accept this movie. But I will not save money to save money and make some films that I cannot accept. Remember: I would rather spend 1 million to be perfect, and don't spend 100,000 yuan. If you can make do with it, it will be completely unworthy of the gains. Also, don't worry, CAA will know what to do, don't they want to make money?"
"I don't worry, of course I don't worry, my man is the best." Cao Haiyan's eyes were as charming as silk. Cao Haiyan already had a blind trust in Jing Jian's judgment on business.
...
However, things went against my wishes. On that night and the days that followed, the crew members actually resigned one after another. First, the photography team, followed by the prop team. In Hollywood, photography and props are often hired together, so now they all resign together.
Then it began to spread to the actors, and the male and female protagonists Newcastle and Mad Ting were temporarily "silenced". After all, they paid more attention to the influence and did not want to breach the contract casually. Besides, the protagonist of the blockbuster is not Dabaicai, and he can be obtained casually. However, several male and female supporting roles resigned one after another, and even the small characters with a few lines resigned on a large scale. As a result, suddenly, there were no few people left in the crew.
CAA also stopped recommending actors. Through Liu Pajin, Jing Jian learned that there were already rumors outside, saying that Jing Jian was a "tyrant on the set", wantonly interfering with the work of the crew, etc. In a word, it must be that CAA was making trouble behind the scenes and wanted to make Jing Jian completely surrender through "cold violence".
Jing Jian never expected that discrimination would be so serious. For a moment, he seemed to have been completely banned by Hollywood.
