Chapter 70 Li Youqing's plan: kill three birds with one stone
The incident at the barbecue stall was just a small episode. Neither Zhang Jiuliang nor Ruyu Ruji paid too much attention to it. Only Yang Fenghuang's grievances accumulated more and more deeply, so that during the following filming period
It often affects her state.
This made her already in a bad state even more unstable. Almost every film she shot had to be re-shot, which was forced by the director.
At least anyone with a discerning eye can see that the acting was indeed not good, but they are not the director and do not know what the director is thinking, so they can only keep the matter buried in their hearts.
But as the saying goes, where there are people, there will be gossip. As the filming progressed, a strange voice began to emerge within the crew, which was speculating on the relationship between Yang Fenghuang and director Jiang Bei.
"Yang Fenghuang is such a bad director, but he can still let her stay. Is there some ulterior secret in this?"
"The director is already married, and his wife stays on the set every day. Could there be any ulterior secrets?"
"Then who knows, let me tell you, there is no cat in this world who doesn't cheat. Besides, what does it have to do with getting married or not getting married these days? The most important thing is to have power."
"Shh! It's better not to say this everywhere. It will be bad if someone hears it."
"No more, no more."
He didn't say it, but this evil trend suddenly spread within the entire crew, and even became known to the outside world after being revealed by someone who was interested.
The contemporary media is notorious for making false claims without obtaining evidence. They will directly fabricate the story for you and then release it to attract the public's attention.
As a result, disputes between Jiang Bei and Yang Fenghuang soon appeared on the Internet, such as saying that Yang Fenghuang was unable to do anything but was able to play the role of the heroine in a movie, and that Jiang Bei must have been directed by Jiang Bei behind his back.
Although this kind of thing is rumored and the media has no evidence, netizens like to read these gossips, so it quickly spread on the Internet.
However, the public relations department of Yihe Film and Television Entertainment also responded in a timely manner. They suppressed these topics soon after the signs emerged, deleting posts and deleting hot searches, and downplaying the impact of this incident.
But this is a world with developed Internet after all. No matter how much you try to downplay the impact of this incident, you will eventually pass it on to me and I will pass it on to you, making it known to everyone, especially "Love at Dawn" who is at the center of the incident.
This was especially true for the crew of "Before Dawn". Almost within an hour after the rumor came out, the entire crew was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Needless to say, Yang Fenghuang, who was the protagonist of the incident, almost felt that everyone looked at her with deep meaning, which made her mentality that had already hit rock bottom become even more shattered.
Jiang Bei, on the other hand, didn't care about these things and was concentrating on his final film in the entertainment industry.
If Jiangbei doesn't care, then producer Li Youqing can only take charge.
As a wife, she has absolute trust in Jiangbei. Therefore, she does not believe even a single punctuation mark in these rumors from the outside world. Just seeing the whole crew discussing this matter, the keen Li Youqing realized that if it is not dealt with, there will be inevitable consequences.
It would affect the filming of the movie, so they immediately ordered the crew to strictly prohibit discussion of this matter, and asked the assistant director Wan Xian to find the person who spread the rumors about the incident and hold him legally responsible.
Li Youqing's harsh handling methods soon received effective feedback. The crew immediately eliminated this unhealthy trend, and morale slowly recovered.
At this time, the filming progress once again reached the scene where the male and female protagonists went to the video store to hang out. The two of them were looking through old records while discussing their favorite singers and songs.
Jiang Bei's acting skills did not improve as the filming progressed. He still looked like he was barely passing. Occasionally there would be some blunt turns, but they were all barely acceptable.
In contrast, Yang Fenghuang's state has been a bit ups and downs. From being out of shape at the beginning, to slowly getting better after a few days of filming, it then took a sharp turn for the worse in the past two days. Until today, he is completely confused, and even his lines are unclear.
Forgot.
"Yang Fenghuang, what's going on with you? Can we still film?" Assistant director Wan Xian, who is known as a good old man, couldn't help shouting after seeing that Yang Fenghuang couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
no way.
This movie has been shot twice. The first time I didn't talk about it because of the male lead problem, but this time I became the female lead. As the assistant director Wan Xian, the pressure was really a bit high.
Yang Fenghuang was scolded, and he lowered his head in grievance without speaking, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Bei comforted him and said, "It's okay. Just take a rest and we'll get another one."
Perhaps it was because this sound of comfort made Yang Fenghuang burst into tears. He raised his head and cried and apologized: "I'm sorry, director."
The next moment, she covered her mouth and ran out.
"Liangliang, go and have a look." Li Youqing shouted quickly.
"Oh~"
Zhang Jiuliang, who was hiding in the corner and playing with stones out of boredom, clapped his hands and walked towards the shed where Yang Fenghuang was resting.
The heroine's mentality collapsed, so the filming was naturally forced to stop, and the crew entered a short rest period.
"Beibei, let's go see Yang Fenghuang together. She is also under a lot of pressure these days." Li Youqing looked at the direction where Yang Fenghuang was resting and said with a little distress.
Jiang Bei had just sat down. Hearing this, he had to stand up again and replied: "Well, let's go over and take a look."
"I'm sorry, director, I was impulsive just now." Wan Xian said apologetically.
Jiang Bei waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and Nunu said: "Let's go over and take a look."
"Okay." Li Youqing nodded in agreement.
Wan Xian naturally has no objection.
So the three of them walked towards the shed where Yang Fenghuang was resting. As soon as they got closer, they could hear the sound of crying. It was obvious that Yang Fenghuang was indeed very sad this time.
Wan Xian became even more embarrassed the closer he got, and a bit of regret inevitably appeared on his face. After all, it was he who had just reprimanded Yang Fenghuang in front of everyone.
Because it was a simple greenhouse, one side was not covered. When the three of them approached, they saw Yang Fenghuang sitting on a chair with his face buried in his legs and twitching, while Zhang Jiuliang was sitting on the other side playing games.
.
This damn Zhang Jiuliang is really a bit cold-blooded.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Director Wan." Liangliang also saw the arrival of the Jiangbei trio, quickly stood up, hid her cell phone behind her, scratched her head and said hello.
Li Youqing's focus was naturally on Yang Fenghuang. He leaned over and knelt down to whisper comfort in her ear, and even held her hand as he spoke.
Jiang Bei and Wan Xian were both men, and it was hard for them to show too much intimacy, so they simply stood aside and listened. However, they still had strong objections to their younger sister, Jiang Bei, who dragged her over and scolded her in a low voice: "People
You are crying so sadly, but you are still playing games and are indifferent. Are you a human being?"
Liang Liang curled her lips when she heard this and replied: "Then do you think I can stop crying if I comfort her? Since that's not possible, why not let her cry for a while and let her vent for a while."
Ancheng Gambling King always talks about his principles one after another, and what he says makes people speechless. Jiangbei looked at Yang Fenghuang, who was still crying under Li Youqing's comfort, and silently took back the words that were about to pop up.
Headache.
Yang Fenghuang cried very sadly.
I cried for ten full minutes.
The people in Jiangbei waited like this for ten minutes.
Li Youqing also comforted me for ten minutes.
Slowly, Yang Fenghuang's mood calmed down, from crying all the time to sobbing constantly.
"I'm sorry, director." The first thing Yang Fenghuang did when he regained his mood was to stand up and apologize to Jiangbei.
"There's no need to say sorry. I know you're under a lot of pressure, but I hope you can stop thinking about that and just concentrate on filming." Jiang Bei advised in a sincere tone.
What he said was truly from the bottom of his heart. If anyone in the entire crew expressed appreciation for Yang Fenghuang's acting skills, he must be the only one from Jiangbei. Because in his plan, he needed to show off to Yang Fenghuang in such a state.
Only in this way can the quality of the film be greatly reduced. In the end, it lost to "Love in Dilemma" filmed by rival Mu Feibai, thus achieving the goal of quitting the entertainment industry.
It's a pity that neither Li Youqing, Wan Xian nor Yang Fenghuang thought that he was just talking for a scene, especially Yang Fenghuang who shook his head and lowered his head in shame and said: "Director, you don't need to comfort me, I know that my acting skills are not good.
Now my mentality is even more affected and my condition is getting worse. This is indeed my own problem. I am sorry for you and the entire crew."
"Uh... This is really nothing." Jiang Bei opened his mouth, not knowing how to solve it.
"Actually, the responsibility for this matter cannot be entirely on you. I can understand your current situation. How about we stop filming today and you can rest for a night to adjust your condition?" Li Youqing held Yang Fenghuang's hand.
said the hand.
Although the current shooting time is a little tight, there is definitely no way to continue shooting under the current situation. Rather than doing this, it is better to suspend today's shooting and let Yang Fenghuang have a good night's rest.
Jiangbei will naturally have no objection to his wife.
The director and producer can basically make a decision when they agree, so this matter was settled easily.
But before Wan Xian went out to give the order to suspend filming today, Yang Fenghuang shook his head and said: "Director, Miss Youyou, you don't have to comfort me anymore. I already know that I can't continue acting, so
I ask the crew to replace me."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone including Jiang Bei had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
He actually asked to be replaced. What kind of operation is this?
"I'm really sorry, I really can't continue acting." At this point, Yang Fenghuang couldn't hold back the tears that flowed down again. She has been under too much pressure during this period. At such a young age,
Your mentality has been shattered. How can you still be in the mood to act in a movie?
So quitting is actually the best option.
There was silence in the shed.
Jiang Bei hesitated several times and opened his mouth to speak but held it back. However, Li Youqing slowly recovered as if he had thought of something, gently shook Yang Fenghuang's hand and comforted him: "If you really feel that you can't continue the acting, don't force it.
"
"Woo~~"
Yang Fenghuang was completely relieved of his long-standing grievances by these words, and he threw himself into Li Youqing's arms and cried.
Faced with this situation, it was in vain to say anything, so Jiang Bei had no choice but to leave with Wan Xian and Liang Liang, leaving Li Youqing to take care of Yang Fenghuang.
On the way back, Jiang Bei kept frowning and thinking, wondering why Yang Fenghuang couldn't persist.
Being smart, he figured it out quickly.
In the final analysis, it was public opinion and her own lack of confidence that put her under great pressure, and there might even be his own factors involved.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Yang Fenghuang, whose acting skills were originally adequate, declined day by day. In the end, he could not withstand the pressure and chose to give up the role of the heroine.
Of course, it is too late to say this now. It depends on whether Li Youqing can comfort Yang Fenghuang and continue filming, otherwise everything will have to start over again.
Yes.
From Jiangbei's point of view, what Li Youqing said just now was just to appease Yang Fenghuang and did not really agree to replace Yang Fenghuang.
But this time he guessed wrong.
——
night.
In the hotel rented by the crew, Li Youqing seriously told Jiang Bei that she hoped the crew would respect Yang Fenghuang's ideas and choose a new actress to play the heroine.
"Are you kidding? You have to know that Yang Fenghuang has good acting skills among the female artists in Yihe Film and Television Entertainment. If she can't do it, who can take the lead? Don't tell me that you are looking for an actress from outside.
Judging from the current situation in which we are competing with Columbus Film and Television Company, it is basically in vain to find him." Jiang Bei asked with his eyes widened.
To be fair, no matter judging from the current shooting progress or effects, he does not want to replace the heroine at this time. And to take a step back, if a movie changes the male lead and then the female lead, it will inevitably happen
It sends a wrong message to the outside world, making everyone subconsciously think that this movie is an irresponsible bad movie. This will undoubtedly add a lot of negative impact to the movie in advance.
"But with Yang Fenghuang's current attitude, there is no point in forcing her to continue filming. It will even put her under more pressure and blame all these problems on herself. This is not only for the film itself but also for
It's a harm to herself. In this case, why don't we respect her ideas and try a new heroine?"
Li Youqing feels very strongly about this matter, because she has also experienced constant controversy and pressure, so she can understand Yang Fenghuang's current pain.
"But where are we going to find a new heroine?" Jiang Bei sighed and said a little helplessly.
The plan was finally going on normally, but it was a headache that something like this happened suddenly, but his wife's analysis was very reasonable, and he couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only attack from the side and use roundabout tactics.
When Li Youqing heard this, he looked straight at Jiangbei with his big eyes and said nothing.
The old man felt a little uncomfortable being looked at. Pretending to be calm, he picked up the water glass and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Li Youqing rubbed against him again and said with a smile: "What do you think of me?"
"Pfft~~cough~~"
This sentence made Jiang Bei, who was drinking water, couldn't help but squirt it out. Fortunately, he washed Li You's face. Fortunately, Xiao Nizi quickly closed her eyes, but the water stains were also sprayed all over her face.
They are all, and when the eyelids are opened, the long eyelashes even have a few drops of crystal.
"What are you doing!"
"Sorry, sorry."
Jiang Bei quickly apologized and wiped Li Youqing's face with paper.
"Are you looking down on me?" Li Youqing asked dissatisfiedly while wiping her face.
"Uh..." Jiang Bei was stunned, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I look down on you, but you seem to still have a contract with Erjing Film and Television. Without Erjing Film and Television's consent, you can be the heroine.
This movie is destined to not be released, otherwise it will be a breach of contract and you will be legally responsible."
This is true.
Artists are not allowed to accept any activities or film and television dramas that go against the company's wishes before terminating the contract. Otherwise, once the activities and film and television dramas generate profits, it will be a breach of contract, and the nature of this behavior will require legal liability.
Unless the movie "Before Dawn" is only made for fun and not released to the public or broadcast on online platforms, it is very likely that the movie will be forcibly removed from the shelves according to legal regulations.
"It's good if it can't be released! Then the bet can be canceled due to force majeure." Li Youqing said with a smile.
"This..." Jiang Bei was a little confused.
What is this operation?
Why can't we understand it?
"I thought about it, and the current situation of our drama is not very clear. If we continue to use Yang Fenghuang as the heroine, the PK with Mu Feibai's "Love in Dilemma" is very likely to fail; but
Changing the male lead and then the female lead will easily have a great impact on the morale of the entire crew, so after careful consideration, the best way is to let me be the heroine of this drama."
Li Youqing got up and walked to the bathroom, took off a towel and came back, wiping the water stains on his face, neck, and hair, and continued: "My acting skills are still online, at least for this drama, I think it should be more than enough.
Of course, the most important thing is what I just said. If Erjing Film and Television is still determined to hide me, then we can use this reason to cancel the showdown, so that you don’t have to worry about the movie failing and quitting for the rest of your life.
It’s the entertainment industry.”
"Erjing Film and Television will definitely not agree to your participation. What you will do will only make this movie unable to be released even after it is finished filming." Jiang Bei shook his head and said.
"My contract with Erjing Film and Television has less than two years left. At worst, we can film it first and wait until two years later to show it," Li Youqing said matter-of-factly.
Obviously, Xiao Nizi was already planning for failure in advance and wanted to use this force majeure factor to solve the crisis caused by the confrontation between the two movies.
"It's not good for you to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige..." Jiang Bei said with an embarrassed look on his face.
He didn't want Li Youqing to play the heroine. After all, he wanted this movie to compete with Mu Feibai's "Love in Dilemma" and be turned into scum by the other party and then keep his promise and quit the entertainment industry.
Now that Li Youqing is doing this, when can he quit the entertainment industry?
Taking a step back, if Li Youqing participated in this movie, many situations were beyond his control. At least the quality of the movie would inevitably be improved by several levels.
Then wouldn’t it mean that he would make a wedding dress for Li Youqing?
"Oops! Actually, it's not all because of this. There's another thing I didn't tell you." Li Youqing put the towel aside and rushed forward.
"What else? Is it possible that you can kill three birds with one stone by starring?" Jiang Bei asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Xiao Nizi nodded fiercely and said proudly: "Of course, if I were to participate in this movie and Erjing Film and Television did not agree, Mu Feibai's character would definitely not be able to accept that our movie would not be released.
Yes, so under this situation, he must go to Erjing Film and Television to negotiate and ask Erjing Film and Television to cancel the freeze on me!"
