The production of "Wolf Cry" was prepared very quickly. It only took a few days from the time the investment was raised.
The Internet is also full of news.
Some people even created an account to broadcast the show live, which generated a lot of traffic.
"Director Liu, are you here?"
"Hello, Director Liu."
They all knew Director Liu, and when they saw the great director coming, they greeted him warmly.
"Yes." Director Liu nodded and came to Chen Yuan.
"Director Liu." Chen Yuan asked, "But has it started yet?"
"Mr. Chen, you are too impatient. Filming is not something that happens in a day or two." Director Liu said with a smile.
Chen Yuan responded: "I also want to end it quickly and release it as soon as possible so that we can all be relieved."
"That's what I say, but if you want to shoot faster, actors are very important." Director Liu said with a smile.
"Everyone is ready and will all follow Director Liu's arrangements," Chen Yuan replied.
The other actors also followed suit.
"I've seen all the other characters, no problem. The key is the protagonist..." Director Liu hesitated.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Especially Chen Yuan's face became unsightly.
"Director Liu, what do you mean?" Chen Yuan asked.
"After much thought, I feel that Gong Zan is not suitable for this role." Director Liu said bluntly, "I think Xie Heyuan is more suitable."
Xie Heyuan?
That little piece of meat?
When Chen Yuan was recruiting actors, the two had a quarrel and it was very unpleasant.
"He is a young guy who is not suitable for this drama. The protagonist of Wolf Roar is a tough guy!" Chen Yuan expressed a different view.
"That's what I say, but Xie Heyuan is also seeking transformation. According to my perspective over the years, it's not a big problem."
"The most important thing is that now is the age of traffic, and the actors you find are basically outdated."
"Forget about other characters. You said they have acting skills and strength. I admit it, but the protagonist... must be changed!"
Director Liu’s attitude is very determined!
"You can't say that, Director Liu." Chen Yuan said, "I also said hello to you when we were recruiting actors, but you didn't have time."
"You gave me full power to make the decision. Now it's inappropriate to change the protagonist. The contract has already been signed."
"Thank you for the liquidated damages!" Director Liu's tone was also unquestionable.
This is embarrassing.
In everyone's eyes, Chen Yuan is not a real investor, he just brings in investment.
Director Liu is not afraid of him either.
"No." Chen Yuan refused without hesitation, "Xie Heyuan is not suitable!"
The atmosphere became stagnant.
"Mr. Chen, give me some face and let Xie Heyuan come on." Director Liu said, "We can still cooperate candidly."
At this time, Xie Heyuan also came over.
"Chen Yuan, didn't you expect that we would meet again?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
That face was full of arrogance and pride.
It makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
"You are not welcome here, you can leave." Chen Yuan said calmly.
Xie Heyuan laughed three times and then said: "Chen Yuan, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet. Director Liu has already said so."
"I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and apologize to me now. I will reluctantly agree to be the male lead in this drama."
"If you don't know how to praise me, Director Liu... I'm afraid he won't be your director anymore."
hiss!
Everyone took a breath and quickly moved their eyes to Director Liu.
They originally thought that Director Liu would deny it, but who knew that Director Liu just nodded slightly and said nothing.
It's the default.
The heads of the crew were completely blank.
In other words, if Chen Yuan does not agree, their previous efforts may be in vain.
I don't know how long it will take to hire a director again.
too difficult.
"How about it?" Xie Heyuan said proudly, "I told you before that you will regret it."
"It's not good for you to provoke anyone, but you can't get along with me. I will make it easier for you?"
Zhang Meng and others dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Who made Xie Heyuan so well-connected and so established in the circle that even Director Liu gave him such face?
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Yuan.
Everyone thought that Chen Yuan would definitely bow his head. Director Liu was too well-known in the circle. Asking him to film would undoubtedly increase the film's popularity.
There will be more viewers paying the bill!
"Director Liu, are you threatening me?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"If you say yes, then that's it." Director Liu took a puff of cigarette.
"I tell you clearly, I will not agree." Chen Yuan said unyieldingly.
What?
Actually... not giving face?
"Okay, very good." Director Liu was disgraced by Chen Yuan in front of so many people. You can imagine the anger in his heart, "We'll see."
"Hmph, kid, you're done." Xie Heyuan also turned and left.
"Stop." Chen Yuan said, "Director Liu, we signed a contract. If you breach the contract now, you have to compensate me three million."
"You..." Director Liu didn't care about three million, but he couldn't lose face.
Chen Yuan continued: "It's okay not to give it. We fight with you online every day, and we can also take the opportunity to increase our popularity, haha."
"It's only three million, I really don't think I can afford it." Director Liu transferred the money on the spot.
The two of them left.
The atmosphere on the set was not relaxed.
"Everyone, this is a good thing. Although the startup failed today, we got three million."
"Assistant Zhang, take these three million and treat everyone to a good meal and a good time. I will take care of the director's affairs."
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he left with a smile.
The crew felt a little disappointed, but Chen Yuan was willing to spend three million to let them eat, drink and have fun, which was good.
You can take this opportunity to continue studying the script.
After settling in, Chen Yuan held a meeting.
They started contacting the director.
It's a pity that well-known directors in the industry either want to film, or find excuses to refuse, or they ask for crazy prices, asking for 50 million or 100 million.
"It's really unreasonable, why is it like this..." Manager Feng said angrily.
Zhang Meng's cell phone rang, she looked at it, frowned and said: "I received the news, Director Liu has already spread the word in the circle, but no one who is a bit famous is willing to help us film."
The situation is not optimistic.
"Mr. Chen, you have a good relationship with Xiao Weiwei. Can you ask her for a favor?" Zhang Meng asked.
Let fourth aunt help?
Chen Yuan was unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
He was the one who picked the matter, so it's best to solve it by yourself. If you ask your fourth aunt for help, it won't have a shocking effect.
Where can I get shock value?
But at this moment, Chen Yuan's cell phone rang, and it was Xiao Weiwei calling.
"Chen Yuan, you really didn't stop, you finally got the funds, and you actually offended the director." Lu Xiaowei said.
"Fourth Aunt, please stop laughing at me, I'm confused." Chen Yuan said truthfully.
Lu Xiaowei sighed and said: "Have you realized your mistake now? I can help you set up a line. You apologize to Director Liu and let Xie Heyuan be the male lead. There is still room for maneuver in this matter."
