Chapter 48 The one who ruins you is yourself.
Early the next morning, Xinyi Entertainment called with an urgent call. The executive producer of the other party could hardly hold back his joy. He didn't even remember to greet Wan Chen's body, so he asked Bai Jiarun: "What is the contract?" What are you thinking about?"
"Producer, Xiaochen and I still want to meet and discuss the specific content with you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to come to the production team?"
The offices of the production team are often in hotels, not too far from the filming location of the crew.The other party thought that Bai Jiarun still had doubts about money, and the wealthy Xinyi naturally wouldn't take this to heart, so he readily agreed and went to the shooting location that day.
At this time, on the set.
Song Xun had already put on his makeup for almost an hour, and his announcement time was 10 minutes ago, but for some reason, the director didn't call him to go to the scene for a long time.
The little assistant A Ling sat next to Song Xun and asked strangely: "Brother Xun, why didn't the director call us? We are the first scene today."
Song Xun also felt that something was wrong. Director Luo Shaoxin was born in filmmaking, and he attached great importance to the rules of the crew. He would never allow any actor to be late.He himself even leads the director team, and goes to the scene every day according to the time of the photography team. When shooting and lighting equipment, the director will come to the scene in person to discuss the light and shadow effects with the director of photography, unlike other crews, the director is always The last person to arrive.
For a long time, the production director of the crew has been full of praise for Director Luo's ability to strictly follow the announcement and start the film on time. Today's situation is absolutely unprecedented.
Song Xun thought for a while and said, "Then go to the executive director or the actor's assistant director and ask what's going on."
"okay!"
A Ling ran out of the dressing room in a flash.
She saw the cameraman of Camera A sitting on a box next to the camera and playing with his mobile phone in the built interior.She called "Teacher" before walking over and asked, "Excuse me, I'm Teacher Song Xun's assistant... Do you know where the director is?"
The cameraman of camera A is a big apprentice of the director of photography. He usually has a gentle temper. No matter how small the characters in the crew are, he treats them with a smile.But today, the photographer had a sullen face and warned A Ling, "Don't go to the director, they are busy."
"Huh? Is something wrong?"
"event."
A Ling's complexion changed, and the sixth sense of women made her feel alarmed. She asked in a low voice, "Is it related to... our Teacher Song Xun?"
The photographer glanced at her and said nothing.
A Ling silently backed away from him, and turned in another direction.The on-scene brothers who were supposed to be busy all squatted at the door of the interior scene smoking, looking bored, and she went over and asked: "Hey, brothers, I want to ask, why is it not turned on today? Is Director Luo here? "
The field workers don't have the high emotional intelligence of the photographers. Seeing the actor's assistant come to ask, they can't wait to explain everything.Everyone coaxed a few words of laughter, and then someone said: "You don't know yet? Director Luo said today that there will be a strike."
"strike?"
"Yeah, hahaha!" Someone laughed again, "Director Luo is here, and he is smoking at the door with the director of photography. He refuses to shoot anything, and the production director is dying of anxiety. He just walked around us for a while. Daquan, I don’t know who to call right now.”
A Ling asked: "Did that happen? Has anyone made Director Luo angry?"
"I don't know, but it's probably a big deal," one of them said.
Another person said: "It seems that there is a conflict with the producer, and we are waiting for Xinyi to send someone to resolve it. Don't worry, let's take a break with your teacher Song Xun. Just now, I saw that Teacher Ning Song went directly The nanny went back to the hotel to sleep, hahaha!"
"..."
A Ling felt uneasy for no reason, thanked her, and turned back to the dressing room.
Song Xun was taking a selfie in the makeup mirror. Seeing the assistant come back, he handed over the phone again, "Quick, take some photos of me reading the script and send them to Weibo...Hey, did you find anything?"
The little assistant helped Song Xun take dozens of photos from various angles, returned the phone, and said: "The photography teacher refused to say anything, the scene brother said that it was Director Luo today... Uh, I don’t want to shoot, Mr. Ning Song Went back to the hotel to sleep."
"Ah? Ning Song is gone?" Song Xun jumped up from the sofa when he heard the words, "Then what are we waiting for here? Let's go, let's go back to sleep, I beat the king last night until three in the morning I'm sleepy too. Oh yes, when you post on Weibo for me, remember to take out the dark circles under your eyes."
Seeing that Song Xun had already opened the door, A Ling hurriedly stood behind him and threw a messy table of cigarette cases, lighters, earphones, scripts, etc. into her backpack, ran after Song Xun, and accompanied him to the parking lot Walk.
But no one expected that the two of them had just strolled to the parking lot when they bumped into Wan Chen and his manager, who had fixed bandages on their shoulders and arms.
A Ling originally thought that Wan Chen was injured and recuperating in the hospital, he must be looking haggard, unshaven, and completely lacking the image of the old male god.But who knows, although Wan Chen is dressed simply, just a white T and jeans, but the whole person has the same spirit as before.In front of such a youthful and simple handsome boy, how many girls can hold the deer in their hearts and not bump into it?
Probably because of her burning eyes, Wan Chen also noticed her and nodded slightly as a gesture.
Song Xun was even more surprised when he saw Wang Chen, but the surprise only stayed for a moment and then dissipated. He took it for granted that the other party came back to pack his things and prepare to leave the group.
Then the matter of me taking over as the male number two, I think it is a certainty.
He couldn't help but smile triumphantly like a winner, and took the initiative to hold out his hand, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Wan? Long time no see. Are you recovering from your injury?"
Wang Chen held him with a smile on his face, "Thank you Brother Xun for your concern. As you can see, I am very well."
Song Xun didn't expect Wan Chen to show neither a bit of frustration, let alone depression after being injured.The face of the opponent did not have the slump of a loser, which made Song Xun a little unhappy.He waved his arms twice, and was about to withdraw his hand.
But Wang Chen exerted all his strength at this moment. Instead of making Song Xun pull out his hand, he pulled him closer because of the force.Wang Chen's smile deepened, and it seemed to spread into his eyes, "Didn't Brother Xun make an announcement today? Where is this going?"
"Oh, today..." Song Xun looked back at the direction of the crew. The crew members were still sitting at the door chatting and playing cards. He was sure that the machine had not been turned on yet, so he said, "Director Luo has something to do, so we won't be filming for now."
Wang Chen raised his eyebrows, "Really? That's really strange. Director Luo invited me to meet with the crew and said that you would be there too. Why don't we go over and see what happened?"
After finishing speaking, Wang Chen let go quickly, put his arms around Song Xun's shoulders, and forcibly pushed him back.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Song Xun felt guilty in the end, and his expression immediately panicked, "I'm not filming now, I'm leaving, don't fucking stop me!"
"I didn't stop you, brother Xun, and you're on the set again in broad daylight, what are you afraid of?"
Song Xun shouted bravado: "How could I be afraid of you!?"
Hearing this, Wang Chen paused, turned his head, stared at Song Xun with a half-smile, and said softly: "Yes, of course Brother Xun is not afraid of me, after all, I didn't hit people with a lamp in my hand." ,Yes or no?"
"..."
Song Xun felt that his breathing was stagnant.
——How did Wan Chen know?
But that wasn't the only thing that made him nervous.
Just when the group of people stood still in the interior of the film crew for less than a minute, director Luo Shaoxin and his assistant, who were nowhere to be seen, steadily got out of the nanny car.
Luo Dao looked serious, and when he walked towards Song Xun, Song Xun subconsciously called out for help, "Luo Dao!"
He hoped that Luo Shaoxin would be vigilant when he saw Wan Chen's appearance, so as to relieve himself.
But what Song Xun never expected was that Luo Shaoxin didn't seem surprised by Wan Chen's arrival, and the two even greeted each other in a familiar tone!
"Xiao Wan, are you here?"
"Well, Director Luo, how did you rest last night?"
Luo Shaoxin glanced at Song Xun and sneered, "Very good, let's recharge your batteries."
Bai Jiarun also called the producer of Xinyi Entertainment at the same time, "We're here."
But after a while, the producer and executive producer of Xinyi Entertainment rushed to the scene together.The two people were originally in very different moods, one was nervous and the other was high-spirited, but when they saw Director Luo and Wan Chen sitting together at the same time, their expressions all changed.
"Director Luo, what are you..."
"Xiao Wan? Song Xun?"
The two asked one after the other.
Luo Shaoxin and Wang Chen exchanged glances, and finally Wang Chen stood up first, and said calmly: "Mr. Li, producer teacher, I came here today to talk directly with you two about my role and some of the problems after my injury. Follow-up situation."
The chief producer of this project, Mr. Li, had a delicate expression on his face. He said, "I'm sorry, Xiaochen, I'm here today because I have something to see Director Luo. We can meet later..."
"Mr. Li, Xiaowan and I want to talk about the same thing." Director Luo said, "Please sit down, today's matter is not trivial."
Mr. Li and the executive producer both darkened their faces at the same time.
But Wang Chen didn't care about anyone's feelings at all, and declared frankly: "According to the performance contract I signed with Xinyi, no matter what happens during the filming, the role of Zhao Yike will be played by myself, Wanchen. After I was injured, Xinyi Entertainment considered that I might delay the progress of the production team, and hoped that I could voluntarily withdraw from the production team and give Zhao Yike's role to others..."
Wang Chen paused, his eyes flicked across Song Xun's face, and then he guessed: "This request does not conform to my performance contract. After consideration, I refuse to accept it."
"Xiao Wan, that's not what you said yesterday!" The executive producer didn't know how much he had praised the company. Hearing Wang Chen's solemn announcement, he immediately turned pale.
Bai Jiarun said: "Producer, don't get me wrong, yesterday we only said that we would take a look at the contract."
Luo Shaoxin said with a cold face: "I want to take a look, why don't I take a look, how do I know that Mr. Li's company is so powerful, and the actors I personally signed have to be replaced in different ways. Could it be Xinyi Entertainment Are all the projects so overbearing? You must invite artists from your own company to act? If so, you might as well quit me as the director. As far as I know, there are not a few directors signed by your company. Luo Shaoxin can't afford to climb high!"
The people of Xinyi never expected that Luo Shaoxin would be involved in this matter. If changing actors can be regarded as a trivial matter, then changing the director after the start of the project is undoubtedly a serious blow to a project.Mr. Li and the executive producer looked at each other, looking at each other, not knowing how to answer the conversation.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Li said: "Director Luo, don't misunderstand, there is absolutely nothing like this. We wanted to replace Mr. Wan Chen, and we communicated with you! Our production team is on such a fast track. Hurry up, Teacher Wanchen was seriously injured. Isn’t it impossible to make such a choice? Think about it, Teacher Wanchen is still so young and his bones are injured, how can he not go home and take care of him for a while? ah."
Luo Shaoxin was not caught up in Xinyi's logic. He said: "It's his business that Wan Chen got injured and retired from the group, and it's my business to cast the second male role. I've never heard anyone say that Zhao Yike will be the next one. Want Song Xun to play the role? In my script, Song Xun is Zhao Yike's younger brother, and he can only play Zhao Yike's younger brother!"
Mr. Li said: "What you said is that our contract is indeed signed in this way, but we must act urgently. Since the role of the second male lead has been vacant, we Xinyi are thinking about promoting our own artists. ...This is all human nature, and there is absolutely no intention to hide it from you."
But at this time, Bai Jiarun chuckled, "It's normal for a person, but in our Shunxing agency, only actors rely on their strength to win roles, and they never say that they rely on actors who hurt their opponents to make way for themselves. Mr. Li, you have already involved personal injury and vicious competition. How can this person be so normal?"
Although Song Xun didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but as the center of the vortex, his face turned pale when he heard this.
In this matter, he was the first to call the agent to make a suggestion!
He originally thought that if the company refused to operate for him, he would hire a black hand at his own expense.Unexpectedly, after reading the new script, the company directly acquiesced in his behavior, and even stepped forward on his behalf to arrange everything.
Song Xun felt that he was valued by the company, and his future was bound to be a hit.
How could this matter be dismantled?
Song Xun was in a panic, and the executive producer didn't expect Wan Chen to see the truth.
Mr. Li was the only one left in the room who was still able to control his emotions. He forcefully forced a smile and said, "Ms. Bai, Mr. Wan, you can't just pour such dirty water on our Xinyi with your empty teeth! , this kind of thing is considered a criminal offense, if you slander our Xinyi everywhere, we will sue you for defamation!"
"You know it's the best criminal offense." Bai Jiarun showed no fear. She called up a recording from her mobile phone, which was the document Qin Yue sent her, "Mr. Li, why don't you listen to it? If you think there is a lie in the account of the child who was expelled from the crew, you can go and sue us in court, I believe that with such witnesses appearing, this lawsuit will definitely be very exciting!"
After speaking, Bai Jiarun pressed the play button.
As soon as the familiar voice came out, Mr. Li and the executive producer shouted in unison: "Okay! Don't broadcast it!"
Xinyi's face was full of embarrassment.
Wang Chen smiled slowly, and asked gently, "Teachers, is there anything else you want to say?"
"..." The executive producer didn't dare to speak easily.
Mr. Li was silent for a long time before he said: "Wan Chen, this matter... we... what do you want?"
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Chen's eyes fell on Song Xun who wanted to be invisible again.
"I want him to leave the set."
"impossible!"
"Why!"
Mr. Li and Song Xun blurted out instantly.
Bai Jiarun came forward for this: "Mr. Li, we have no other conditions, only this one. If you can't even meet this, I'm afraid we Shun Xing will meet with Xinyi Court. I believe that this is intentional. Xinyi Entertainment doesn’t want to memorize the crime of injury, does it?”
After all, Mr. Li is an old fritter who has been in the circle for many years. Hearing what Bai Jiarun said, he knew that there was a deeper meaning in her words.
If Xinyi Entertainment doesn't want to be charged with intentional injury, then it has to push the blame on the other people.This person, without a doubt, should be Song Xun.
Mr. Li's face turned pale. Although he was only in charge of the company's film and television drama production projects, he had worked in Xinyi for many years, and he knew very well that it took countless manpower and material resources to support even a tepid artist like Song Xun.If Wang Chen was kicked out of the crew immediately after he was injured, no matter how bright the reasons were found out, it would definitely be unable to stop outside speculation and fans' anger.
Song Xun, this acting path, might stay at this stage for the rest of his life, unable to climb up.
Mr. Li glared at Bai Jiarun, refusing to back down.
But Luo Shaoxin took a step at this time and added another weight to one end of the balance, "Mr. Li, the design of our announcement itself is very problematic. At first you kept it from me, so I don't want to care about it, so forget it. Now I know the truth of the matter, so it can be seen that Xinyi didn't think much of me before... Since you are planning to kick Wanchen out, why didn't you negotiate with me in advance? Then the scenes I filmed, co-authoring are useless efforts ?”
"...Director Luo, please don't get me wrong..."
"No mistake, you and I know it well." Luo Shaoxin said, "You Xinyi's nonsense has caused injuries to the actors in the same group, wasted the emotions of the director and actors, and delayed the progress of the filming. If I want to go to court with you, I, Luo Shaoxin, must also come forward as a witness, and sue Xinyi until Xinyi can no longer stand in the circle!"
At this point, Mr. Li had to make the choice to abandon the car to keep the handsome man. He glanced at Song Xun, and finally asked half-compromisingly and half-strugglingly: "Song Xun has left the group, so who will take over his role?"
Luo Shaoxin said: "Anyway, he doesn't take many scenes, so it doesn't matter whoever plays it?"
This time, it was Xinyi Entertainment's turn to lift a rock and shoot itself in the foot.
The scene was silent for a long time, Song Xun looked at Mr. Li almost beggingly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, I also have a contract. Wan Chen deserves it for being smashed by a lamp, and it has nothing to do with me! Xinyi and I are very close friends. One-year contract, my agent will never agree to their unreasonable request!"
"You can say a few words less!" Mr. Li warned with hatred.
Mr. Li went out and made several phone calls one after another. Song Xun jumped over the wall in a hurry, pointed at Wan Chen and scolded: "You little boy who is being kept, there must be someone behind you. Don't worry, even if I am driven away by you, I will get you sooner or later." Expose the dirty things!"
Bai Jiarun was terrified when he heard it, but Wan Chen ignored it.
After a while, Mr. Li finally came back, and he said, "You guys won."
"..." Song Xun's face suddenly changed.He stood still, and Mr. Li went to pull him, but he suddenly broke free and rushed to Wan Chen's feet, hugged his thigh and shouted: "Mr. Wanchen, Mr. Wanchen, I was wrong, you can't drive me away like this... If it explodes on the Internet, my whole life will be ruined!!"
Wan Chen stared at him coldly without saying a word.
Seeing that there was no hope, Song Xun went to ask Luo Shaoxin again, "Director Luo, Director Luo, you can't let them destroy me, they are looking for revenge!"
Luo Shaoxin was even more unmoved, and only said: "The one who ruined you is yourself."
The next day.
There was a bloodbath on Weibo——
The crew of "Looking for the True Murder Love" followed the accidental injury of the actor @万陈 of the second male number Zhao Yike, and then broke the news that the actor of the third male number Zhao Yisheng@宋苏-新艺 was expelled from the crew for some reason.The director and producer are currently refusing to be interviewed.
Netizens said one after another: Oh my god, the annual drama is coming! !I seem to have glimpsed the truth of the conspiracy!
