Although Shen Mu felt a little unhappy, he still appeared quite calm on the surface.
The faint words were spoken, making everyone except Wanyi secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, they all know that Wan Yi's father, Wan Mingyuan, invested in Lang Ya Bang and is considered a shareholder of the Lang Ya Bang crew. Miss Wan is the one who brought the capital into the team.
When it comes to things in the entertainment industry, these people here are naturally well-versed.
Actors who bring money to join the group will have more or less privileges. This can be regarded as an unspoken and unspoken rule.
As long as the other party doesn't do too much, no one will take the initiative to offend such a person, but Miss Wan's request at this moment is indeed a bit too much.
If you Wanyi want to add drama, where can you add it?
That's naturally squeezing drama out of others.
In this ebb and flow of events, if you, Miss Wan, have more roles, don’t others have more roles?
This situation is actually very criticized. There have been many dramas in the past where there were stories of a girl and a boy being crushed by two girls and two boys. Unexpectedly, it happened to my crew today.
Once Shen Mu handles it improperly, his impression in everyone's mind may be greatly reduced.
There are two and three in everything. Today, Miss Wan made a fuss, and you added to the drama. Tomorrow, she will be dissatisfied again and will add to the drama. Do you want to add to it?
Fortunately, Shen Mu's attitude seemed quite firm and he didn't give the other party any hope.
In everyone's opinion, if Miss Wan had any sense, she would have left voluntarily.
"What did you say?"
Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Wanyi's face was a little confused, looking particularly gloomy, and he asked a question in disbelief.
Although she has not been filming recently, when she was in other crews, no director would dare to refuse such a request as long as she made it.
At least he wouldn't reject it so completely and without any room for negotiation.
Let me ask you who can't live with money. The golden sign of Vantone Capital can make many people bend down their originally straight waists. This is also Vantone's biggest capital.
"Shen Mu, aren't you afraid that my father will withdraw his capital?"
Finally, Miss Wan finally used her biggest trump card.
In the past, as long as Miss Wan Da said such a sentence, all the directors would be trembling with fear, their tough attitudes would suddenly turn sharply, and they would finally choose to compromise.
In Wanyi's opinion, Shen Mu should be no exception.
This guy just couldn't save face in front of everyone. Under the threat of divestment, how long can you still be tough?
I asked you not to say it in front of everyone before. You have to pretend to be open-minded. Now it's okay. It will be you, Shen Mu, who will be embarrassed later. Why bother?
"Miss Wan Da, have you forgotten that the funds from Wantong Capital have already been transferred to the account of my Mu Lan Studio?"
At this time, Ye Lan, who was next to her, finally couldn't help but interject. There was a faint sneer on her face. Did she think Miss Wan Da was lacking in brains?
"Besides, our contract clearly states that Shen Mu has the final say on all matters on the set. Now that you are proposing to add scenes, does it count as a breach of contract?"
Ye Lan naturally knew the terms of the contract very well, and it was only after her reminder that Shen Mu added all those things in because he was afraid of encountering something as bad as today.
At this time, Shen Mu couldn't help but admire Ye Lan, secretly thinking that this was indeed an extremely qualified agent who had anticipated all possibilities in advance.
If there were no contractual constraints, I'm afraid Wanyi would really have to do whatever he wants.
Even if Shen Mu doesn't get used to it, other actors might be afraid of Wantong Capital, right?
"Breach of contract?"
However, Wanyi was not frightened by the word breach of contract at all. Instead, he sneered and said arrogantly: "Do you think I can't afford the penalty?"
This may be the arrogance of being wealthy. Wanyi wants to prove to everyone that she is rich and can really do whatever she wants with money.
"Forget it, it seems that divestment may not scare you!"
Wanyi looked around, and finally focused on Shen Mu, and said: "The crew's funds must have been used up a lot. Are the remaining ones enough for post-production work?"
"Shen Mu, as long as you promise to give me more scenes, I can ask my dad to invest an additional ten million, no, twenty million!"
This may be another one of Miss Wan's trump cards. Since withdrawing capital cannot scare you Shen Mu, if coercion fails, let's use inducement.
You can't really have the courage to push out the free money, right?
It seems that Miss Wan is not a real idiot. These days, the crew spends money like water, and she sees it all, and even makes the calculation secretly.
Since Wan Mingyuan is an investor in the Wolf Fang Bang crew, he must have known about the financial situation, and Shen Mu and Ye Lan didn't hide much about it.
Therefore, it is not something that Wanyi cannot understand. Now the crew has indeed spent five to six million, and much of the remaining money is going to be used for post-production.
Post-production editing, special effects and even dubbing and color grading require a lot of money. As a director, Shen Mu knows this very well.
Fortunately, there is not much left in the early stage of shooting. If you save a little, it should be just enough. This is also thanks to Wan Mingyuan's 10 million investment that came in advance.
This also shows the benefits of writing these things into the contract. If Wan Mingyuan drags it on, maybe Shen Mu won't be as tough as he is now.
After hearing Wanyi's statement, many actors present were moved. At this time, even they became entangled.
"Shen Mu, with 20 million, Langya Bang can shoot ten more episodes, don't you want to?"
Wan Yi talked confidently, then looked around and said: "Even if you don't want to, you have to think about these people. Are they willing to only shoot ten episodes?"
This is all Wanyi's bargaining chip. She has been born in a money jar since she was a child. She has always felt that as long as things can be solved with money, they are not problems.
Except for life, old age, illness and death, almost everything in this world can be solved with money. Wanyi and his father have always had this philosophy.
Sometimes the other party has a tough attitude, which only means that the money you gave is not enough. As long as you continue to increase the amount, you will surely make the other party relent.
Twenty million is nothing to Miss Wan Da.
She just wants to fight for this breath today to see how hard your bones are, Shen Mu?
"Shen Mu, how about..."
Ye Lan was hesitant to speak, but Shen Mu turned around and saw the cunning flash in the former's eyes, knowing that he knew what she wanted to say.
Shen Mu understood what Ye Lan meant, which was that he didn't want to miss out on the 20 million investment.
As for Wanyi, just shoot a few more scenes on the set and then cut them out.
In this way, it has no impact on the overall plot of the Wolf Fang List, and it can still cost 20 million yuan in investment, so why not?
Once the film is released, even if Miss Wan has any complaints, nothing will be changed.
Who told Miss Wan to cause trouble first?
Although Ye Lan is usually careless, she still has a high emotional intelligence and knows how to be flexible.
If the brokerage industry was really stubborn, her brokerage company would have closed down long ago.
The most important reason is that the crew of Langya Bang is really short of money, and they can do a lot of things with more than 20 million.
Ye Lan clearly saw Shen Mu's hard work these days, and she couldn't bear it.
How troublesome would it be to film a drama with more than fifty episodes in ten episodes?
Everyone can imagine that shooting ten more episodes at one time can save at least one-third of the trouble.
Including the early stage shooting, the rental of horse props, and the post-production editing and special effects, the cost of completing it in one go is far lower than that of completing it several times.
The crew of "Wolf Fang List" had no choice before, but now that they have this opportunity, Ye Lan certainly doesn't want to let it go.
Moreover, this was proposed by Miss Wan Da herself, but she was disrespectful.
"Haha, Miss Ye is indeed a qualified agent, she just knows the current affairs!"
Wanyi, who was extremely confident in her heart, glanced sideways at Ye Lan, and her words contained a hint of ridicule. It was obvious that these two women had never been easy to deal with.
Wanyi is not really stupid. She knows that some contract terms were written under Ye Lan's suggestion, otherwise it would be much more convenient for her to act on her own.
In Wanyi's view, since Ye Lan has already compromised, Shen Mu must have nothing to say. This is another classic case of using money to solve problems.
The mood of the spectators was also a bit complicated. On the one hand, he was unhappy that Wanyi used money to force Shen Mu to join the show, but on the other hand, he knew that the crew really needed the money.
As actors, they don't want a complete drama to be cut into several parts to shoot. The energy spent running back and forth will increase exponentially.
Many people are even thinking that maybe Shen Mu can be a little tougher, and that might allow Wanyi to continue to increase investment, and it is not impossible to finish filming the entire drama "Wolf Fang List" directly.
"That's not necessary!"
However, just when everyone thought that after Shen Mu thought about it, he would choose to agree to Wanyi's conditions, or add conditions to them, they didn't expect that such a sentence would come out of his mouth.
Hearing this, Ye Lan felt a little regretful, but from a personal emotional point of view, it made her understand Shen Mu's character better.
To be honest, it is undoubtedly a very unqualified thing for someone to film a movie but then cut it out later and not make it into the film.
Ye Lan wouldn't have made such a move if Wanyi hadn't wanted to add drama first, but Shen Mu obviously didn't want to do this, which is also a manifestation of high quality.
"I have the final say on this crew!"
Shen Mu raised his head and stared at Wanyi. Under the extremely incredible look in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "So, everything is shot according to the script. No one can add or subtract even one minute of the scene!"
"have you understood?"
As Shen Mu spoke, he even glanced at the other actors, and there was an invisible aura about him.
