"Director Zhang, I have thought of all the ways I can think of, but unfortunately the investors won't accept it. What do you think we should do now?"
What is supposed to come will eventually come.
Production director Li Kuan has had such a premonition for a long time, but director Zhang Feng is determined.
Ni Yirong publicly broke up with the crew. Under such a difficult background, he could only choose to stand with the crew.
Since the media conference, Li Kuan has been working hard in many ways to stabilize military morale.
It was easy to get several domestic entertainment investors. Most of them have good friendships with Zhang Feng’s father, Lao Zhang. Investing in this movie is to give Lao Zhang face.
Of course I won’t change my original intention now.
However, the two large foreign investors are in a lot of trouble.
In the past few days, they had stood still, and Li Kuan knew that they were holding back!
Zhang Feng looked solemn and did not speak for a long time.
The original shooting plan has also been temporarily suspended due to sudden changes, and Li Kuan and Zhang Feng are discussing.
Director Lei was very sensible and avoided the taboo at the right time.
He is also from Mingzhu, and the one who attacked the crew this time was also the investment company from Mingzhu.
"Actually, Mingzhu's company also revealed to me that they have no objection to the movie itself or to you, Director Zhang."
"We are not allowed to change the leading actor." Before Li Kuan could finish speaking, Zhang Feng took over the topic.
This is very embarrassing.
"This is really their only request."
Li Kuan also feels that Ni Yiheng is annoying, but his identity is that he represents the employer, and it is impossible for him to completely ignore the employer's ideas.
"Lao Li, let me ask you, is this the employer's request, or is Ni Yireng obstructing it?"
"Tell me the truth."
Only sincerity can change sincerity.
Zhang Feng has shown his attitude now, it depends on Li Kuan.
"Of course it can't be just the employer's attitude."
I can only say so much.
Zhang Feng understands.
Unexpectedly, the company at Mingzhu was very fond of Ni. They said they were supportive, but they were really using all their resources to support her.
There are really not many investors like this nowadays!
The contemporary coal boss!
Although Ni is from domestic entertainment, the film's management contract was signed with Mingzhu's company.
A situation like Ni's is a sign of the backwardness of the entertainment industry in the past few years.
In the past few years, there was almost no star-making industry in domestic entertainment. In comparison, the industry in Mingzhu has been quite formal and prosperous.
Of course, for the sake of their own development, the newly emerged newcomers still have some pearl filters.
I feel that a company that is a jewel is high-end.
Just like what has been popular in recent years, kimchi is high-end.
In those years, Mingzhu Company also paid great attention to newcomers in domestic entertainment, and they used signing new domestic entertainment talents as a springboard to promote Mingzhu artists.
Many projects appear to be domestic entertainment projects, but in fact, the Mingzhu Company is hidden behind them.
By arousing the goodwill of movie audiences through these domestic entertainment stars, Pearl Company can make a lot of money.
Ni Yireng is such an example.
Zhang Feng wanted to invest, and Mingzhu Company wanted to promote people. This was originally a good deal where you paid the money and delivered the goods.
From the perspective of Mingzhu Company, the truth is on his side.
It was Zhang Feng who burned the bridge across the river.
I took the money and didn’t do anything.
How can I return the goods?
"How about we change Ni back?" Lao Li asked tentatively.
In his opinion, this is also the best solution at present.
"Since Ni is secretly stirring things up behind the scenes, it means that he still wants to star in this film. As long as we re-enable him, Pearl Company will not make things difficult for us."
In fact, after receiving the warning from Mingzhu Company, Li Kuan had already communicated with Ni's agent in advance.
Lao Lin's attitude is very clear. Cooperation is a win-win situation, and non-cooperation is a lose-lose situation.
Now, it's time to give Zhang Feng some air.
"No!"
"I will never compromise!"
Xiao Zhang and Lao Zhang are really carved from the same mold, and their tempers are exactly the same...stubborn!
"If you don't compromise, what do you want to do?"
"The company over at Mingzhu has already announced that it will only give us three days to consider."
"Three days!"
"Either we will continue to use Ni Yibeng, or they will withdraw their investment!"
"Director Zhang, in fact, in the film industry, such incidents of changing roles are commonplace. Even if we issue a draft, we can re-appoint Ni. There is no shame at all."
Do you understand the seriousness of this matter?
I can't bear it anymore!
Zhang Feng does have a background, but Li Kuan doesn’t believe that she can attract new investment in just three days!
Who to use and who not to use is no longer the point!
The focus is always on investment.
One-fifth of the movie has been shot, and all the money has been spent on setting, installation, renting the venue.
Mingzhu Company knows very well that withdrawing investment at this time will be a drain on the salary for the crew!
They calculated that no matter how powerful Zhang Feng was, he would never be able to solve this matter in a short time.
Compromise is inevitable.
Mingzhu Company has done everything right, but it has overlooked one thing.
Director Zhang Fengzhang, what kind of person is she?
Compromise?
Haha!
This kind of word has never appeared in her dictionary!
"There will be a way."
"Old Li, try your best to delay it for me, and I'll find a way." Zhang Feng's expression was serious and his eyes were fixedly looking in one place.
"That's for sure."
"But, director, you have to make plans in advance."
What else is there to say?
Zhang Feng’s attitude has been very clear.
Ni Yireng?
Even if this person gives her a mountain of gold, she will never use it again!
Brother Nee, you can only wish for yourself!
I can only help you so far...
After Li Kuan left, Zhang Feng stretched out on the sofa, unable to hide his sadness.
With no one around, she could finally show her true emotions.
Investment, this is indeed Zhang Feng’s Achilles’ heel.
Without investment, there would be no big movies.
Without movies, how can we compete at the box office?
Without high box office, how can she prove herself to Lao Zhang?
Change Ni Yireng back?
She will never accept it!
A good horse never turns back.
What's more, she is a wild horse that will never be tamed.
Li Kuan is obviously on the side of Mingzhu Company, and he has tolerated Zhang Feng.
There is no way to place higher expectations on him.
But one of his words awakened Zhang Feng.
In the film industry, there are a lot of things going wrong, so there’s no shame in that!
What is the fastest way to make money?
Who can Zhang Feng rely on?
She thought of someone.
Right in the capital.
It’s Lao Zhang!
When things have reached this point, it is embarrassing to beg others, and you have to grovel and beg your own father...
Of course, Lao Zhang would not give her a good look, but as long as he gritted his teeth, he would endure it.
