The director is preparing to hold a meeting with everyone to standardize the future process.
Unexpectedly, a young man suddenly barged in, followed by bodyguards.
"Hey, who are you? Get out, get out!"
A crew member who didn't know Chen Fan shouted.
Chen Fan looked at everyone in the conference room and said to the staff, "I'm here to attend the meeting. Just shut up."
The staff was a little confused, "Who are you? What kind of meeting are you attending? What business do you have here?"
Zuo Bing and Lu Wanwan both stood up. What did the young man seem to realize?
Even more unhappy, "Director, can we still hold this meeting? If all kinds of cats and dogs can break into our meeting room, what is the difference between it and the vegetable market?"
The director also looked at Chen Fan with a confused expression. The representative of Hongtu Investment came over and said, "This is our Mr. Chen. He fully represents the investors. Do any of you have any opinions?"
"O! He is actually an investor?"
Those who were talking nonsense were immediately speechless, and even the young actor also shut his mouth.
He has some background, otherwise the director would not give him face.
But no matter how good an actor is, he will not be stupid enough to compete with investors.
Unless you have become famous all over the world and become a superstar, you are not bound by any conditions.
Investors can only listen to you and let you do whatever you want.
He is too far behind in this aspect and is just a product of packaging and hype.
When the crew members heard that they were investors, they instinctively stepped aside.
The director stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Thank you, director!"
"Xiao Zuo and Xiao Lu didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"
"No no!"
The director shook his head repeatedly. He also couldn't figure out Chen Fan's background. For such a young guy and an investor, he must have extraordinary background.
But Zuo Bing frowned when he heard that he actually called himself Xiao Zuo.
Okay!
I'm so brave.
He actually called me Xiao Zuo.
But she wasn't being serious. In this situation, she still had to do business.
The director invited Chen Fan to the main seat. Chen Fan was not polite and glanced at everyone in the conference room.
"Director, the filming was going so well today, why did the production suddenly stop?"
“Isn’t venue funding money?”
"Whose idea was this?"
When filming here, you have to pay venue fees, and they are calculated on a daily basis.
The director originally planned to finish filming the scene today and move it to another location tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, the actor suddenly gave himself a difficult problem.
When Chen Fan asked about this, he realized that Chen Fan might know everything that happened today.
However, the director did not directly blame the actor, but said tactfully, "Because there were some minor misunderstandings and we needed to re-communicate, we took a half-day off and came back for a meeting."
Chen Fan lit a cigarette and said, "I heard that someone changed the rules without authorization and tried to make a big deal out of it."
He looked around and said, "Let's do this. I will invest an additional 20 million in the crew, fire today's troublemakers, and re-cast the cast."
"Isn't it just a few more shots? It doesn't matter. I can afford the money."
"ah?"
Everyone in the conference room was stunned.
The director didn't react for a moment.
Chen Fan continued, "For me, money is not an issue, the rules must be followed."
"If this 20 million is not enough, I will add more."
"If there is any extra money, it will be treated as bonuses for the crew members."
"All right!"
Investors are willing to pay, so why don't you be happy about it?
The director nodded solemnly and looked at the actor with a serious face, "Shi Yukai, you are fired."
"what?"
"director!"
Shi Yukai could hardly believe that he was the only star in the entire crew.
How dare they fire themselves?
He stood up angrily, "Director——"
"Don't say anything anymore. I've tolerated you for a long time."
"You want to stay in the most expensive suite in the hotel, you have to have special meals, you have to take a Rolls-Royce to get in and out, you even have to have your own toilet... let's go, let's go!"
The director waved his hand impatiently.
Shi Yukai was furious, "You...you..."
"Okay, I'll go, but remember, there will be times when you beg me."
After saying that, he threw his hat on the table angrily and left.
Chen Fan ordered, "You ask reporters to publish a report saying that this person was fired from the crew for acting like a celebrity!"
"OK!"
The staff responded.
Chen Fandao said, "I hope this won't happen again in the future. Anyone who doesn't abide by the rules will get out!"
Then he turned around and told the staff, "Notify Mr. Shen to give the crew an additional 20 million yuan."
"OK!"
"We will give extra meals to all the crew today."
"Director, I'm sorry for disturbing your work progress."
"Shall we all go have a meal together tonight?"
Of course the director likes it if people invest more as soon as they come.
He also hopes that there will be investors like this in the future. If he comes across a good script, he may discuss it with them and they may agree directly.
Therefore, this kind of relationship must be handled well.
"Okay, okay."
The director told everyone, "Then let's adjourn the meeting. All you lesbians should go back and get ready and have dinner together in the evening."
There are dozens of people in the crew. The director originally only wanted to call the core staff and main actors, but Chen Fan said that it doesn't matter, just call them all!
Thank you all for your hard work!
He told the company's staff, "Go make arrangements and find the best hotel."
The staff immediately went to make arrangements, and Chen Fan went back to the room with the director to drink tea and chat to learn about the crew's situation.
The director also knew about the relationship between Chen Fan and Zuo Bing. Shen Mengyao had warned them before and sent people to protect them.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yukai still caused trouble.
This guy has bad intentions and is self-righteous.
In fact, the director didn't like him either, but he had a backstage and was greeted by others.
Nowadays, no matter what profession you are in, it all relies on connections. No matter how talented a director is, he still needs investors.
While the two were chatting, Shi Yukai called from backstage and was angry with the director.
"You can do it, you won't even give me face."
"If you fire someone without even saying hello, well, don't look for me again in the future."
The other party hung up the phone angrily, and the director could only smile bitterly.
This time I completely offended people.
But now, he can only bite the bullet and go on.
For dinner in the evening, we booked a restaurant on the sea more than ten kilometers away from the film and television city. This meal cost Chen Fan more than 600,000 yuan.
The director expressed that he wanted to open a film and television company in partnership with Hongtu Capital and focus on training his own team.
In this way, he has a fixed investor.
Chen Fan knew his intentions and said that these were not problems.
After filming this movie, he can discuss cooperation with Shen Mengyao.
The two parties ended the meal happily. After having enough wine and food, Chen Fan and Zuo Bing couldn't wait to go back to the hotel room to experience the feeling of water flooding the golden mountain.
Lu Wanwan was in the next room, looking at the moon in the sky...
