With Huilin's temperament, she naturally couldn't bear being criticized by so many people openly and secretly. Although she was already in her twenties, she used to be a little nun who spent most of her time cultivating on the mountain. After all, she was still a little inexperienced.
Fortunately, Yang Cheng was right in front of her. Hui Lin instinctively looked at Yang Cheng, blinking her big eyes without saying a word.
Yang Cheng glanced at Zhang Kaiwei indifferently, then turned to Yu Shuo and said, "Director Yu Shuo, 90% of the investment for this movie is from my wife. About this … I'm sure you've already told these people."
"Yes, Mr. Yang. Our producer and the person in charge of the relevant funds are all here," Yu Shuo said as he introduced the production team leaders around him.
One of the people in charge frowned and asked, "Director, who's his wife?"
Yu Shuo said softly, "Director Yang's wife is General Lin from Yu Lei International. She's also the investor of this movie."
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Yang Cheng strangely. They couldn't figure out how this ordinary-looking young man could be Lin Ruoxi's husband.
Moreover, he was the director of Yu Lei International! Working for his wife?
Yang Cheng didn't mind. He said, "We're the ones who are spending the money. The actors are from our company. It's your business how you want to film the movie. But if our Hui Lin doesn't want to do something, she won't do it. If you're not willing to follow the rules that we've arranged beforehand, you can leave the production team. If you don't want to do it, someone else will."
Hearing Yang Cheng's words, someone in the crowd sneered. "Hmph, don't think that you're so great just because you have some money! With Director Yu Shuo's reputation, what actor can't he hire? Even if you don't invest, other companies will! Also, Kaiwei's schedule is full. If it wasn't for Director Yu Shuo's appreciation, would you have hired Kaiwei to film a movie that doesn't have him as the main character? "
"That's right! Do you think we're your employees? We can still do business in Hollywood. Don't think that we have to suck up to you guys just because we have some money! "
At this time, Zhang Kaiwei put on an honest face and advised, "Everyone, let's be quiet for a while. Don't hurt the harmony. It was probably Mr. Yang's first time coming into contact with a film crew, so he didn't know much about the situation. I think it's just a small matter. Let's not make things difficult for Director Yu Shuo. "
"Kaiwei, you're too kind. No! We must support you today! It's obvious that Lin Hui is unwilling to cooperate and wants to ruin the movie. Moreover, she's rejecting real people to appear on screen. She's looking down on the art of movies! Are you looking down on us? What do you take us for?! "an assistant director said solemnly.
Hui Lin shook her head with tears in her eyes. "I … I didn't …"
"Please don't say that," Zhang Kaiwei said worriedly. "It's Miss Lin Hui's first time after all. It's hard to avoid the pressure."
Yu Shuo looked at Zhang Kaiwei gratefully. He gritted his teeth and said to Yang Cheng, "Mr. Yang, you might not know this, but although I'm very grateful for your investment, money isn't the problem that this movie lacks the most. This Xianxia movie requires all kinds of special effects, scenery, and motion design. All of these require a world-class team.
Especially the special effects in the post-production, we signed the contract because of Kaiwei's relationship with the shareholders of the American company, ILM. If it wasn't for Kaiwei, we wouldn't have been able to complete the special effects as expected. Not to mention the standard of the special effects in China, even other American companies wouldn't be able to complete the special effects well. "
Zhang Kaiwei, on the other hand, waved his hand humbly. "I can't afford to say that. This is what I should do. To be able to contribute to the director and our Chinese film industry, I'm willing to kneel and beg for it."
"Kaiwei is so magnanimous …"
"That's right. No matter how rich Yu Lei is, ILM is the world's top special effects company. Why would they care about your money? If they didn't, do you think they'd be willing to do the special effects for Hua Xia's movie? Furthermore, it's someone like Director Yu Shuo, who might be able to suppress the American director, "someone replied.
Yang Cheng frowned and asked Yu Min, "What is ILM?"
Yu Min awkwardly introduced, "It's the world's number one special effects production company. Its English name is Industrial Light and Magic. For example, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Star Wars' are their representative classics. It's said that eight of the top ten special effects movies in the world were produced by ILM. "
"Oh … I understand." Yang Cheng nodded. He had seen those two movies before.
"Tsk, as expected of a layman. He doesn't even know what ILM is, yet he's still pointing fingers," a producer said.
Yang Cheng narrowed his eyes and smiled evilly. "According to what you're saying, as long as we let ILM do the special effects, it'll be fine even if this Zhang Kaiwei doesn't act, right?"
Everyone was stunned. What did Yang Cheng mean by that?
"What? Could it be that Director Yang is also acquainted with the higher-ups of Light Magic?" One of them laughed mockingly.
Of course, no one thought so. Yang Cheng didn't even know what ILM was. How could he be friends with them? They all laughed mockingly.
The core members of the production crew were all famous people in the Hua Xia industry. Moreover, Yu Shuo had won many awards, so they didn't have to worry about changing investors.
Speaking of which, it wasn't Zhang Kaiwei's idea to let Hui Lin act in the 'kissing scene'.
Hui Lin was Hua Xia's most popular female singer. If she gave her first kiss to Zhang Kaiwei, Zhang Kaiwei would definitely be in the limelight. He would definitely be in the headlines for a long time.
The production crew could also use this as a gimmick to make a fortune. After all, Hui Lin was a singer. She wouldn't have many acting scenes in the future. It would be best if they could squeeze out the most value from her!
All the veterans in the industry knew about this. Yu Min, as an experienced agent, knew about it too. Naturally, Yang Cheng could guess most of it.
Hui Lin's face turned red with anger when she saw so many people laughing at Yang Cheng. She looked up at Yang Cheng and said, "Brother Yang, why don't we stop filming? Let my sister withdraw her investment. If they want to find someone else to invest in them, let them do it! "
Yang Cheng looked at Hui Lin in surprise. "Really? Are you willing? "
Zhang Kaiwei said, "Miss Hui Lin, please don't be rash. Everyone has signed a contract. If you break it at the last minute, not only will you have to pay a large sum of money, you will also have to worry about your reputation."
"I …" Hui Lin bit her lip and looked at Yang Cheng. "Brother Yang, will we have to pay a lot of money?"
Yang Cheng nodded. "It should be quite a lot. This collaboration is quite expensive. I think it will be difficult to get out of it without a few hundred million."
"Then … then you should discuss it with my sister. They are just messing with you on purpose!" Hui Lin said anxiously.
Yang Cheng was stunned. It seemed that this girl was not feeling wronged for him. Instead, she felt that he was being bullied by them!
In the end, she was actually protecting him?
Yang Cheng wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. How could he not understand her tender but sincere feelings? How could this girl be so silly when faced with this kind of situation? He could even hire a team of dozens of experts to serve her. What was a mere company like the Industrial Light & Magic to him?
However, it was precisely because of Hui Lin's hot-headed attitude that she was trying her best not to make a fool of herself that she was so precious.
She was deeply in love with him, but he did not dare to accept her.
Yang Cheng sighed in his heart. He did not forget to take out his phone and dialed a number …
After a long time, the call was picked up.
"Damn it! Hades! Don't you know it's night time in the US? Don't you know that it will affect a woman's skin when she sleeps late?! Don't you know that I hate being woken up by people?! "
Christen's sharp scream came from the other end of the line. She did not have the usual demeanor of a goddess. One could imagine the graceful blonde beauty slapping the bed fiercely.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was really angry, she would normally still call him 'Yang Chen'.
Yang Chen grinned. "Alright, you'll still shine even if you don't sleep."
"Hmph, that's the truth." Christen yawned. "Say it. What's the matter? Hurry up. I still need to sleep, or I will age prematurely."
Although the souls of the protoss were strong, their bodies after reincarnation were still ordinary human embryos. This was why the main gods had their own descendants after tens of thousands of years of continuous reincarnation … even if those descendants were not protoss, but only humans.
Therefore, if they did not undergo special training, they would not be that strong. Therefore, for Christen, who loved beauty, it was still very important to protect her skin.
Of course, like Hermes, who chose to reincarnate with the body of a vampire, that was another matter.
Yang Cheng did not beat around the bush. There was no point in being polite to such a person who had lived for god knows how many years.
"You know the people from Industrial Light and Magic, right?" Yang Cheng said.
The crew on the side whispered and looked at each other. They did not know who Yang Cheng was talking to. Fortunately, most of them understood English, so they were not completely confused.
Yu Shuo, on the other hand, had some understanding of Yang Cheng. He remembered that Yu Lei had once invited a world-class actress like Christen, so he could not help but have a rough guess. There was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Christen said in a daze, "Of course I know him. It's the factory that George Lucas Jr opened. Two of my movies were also produced by him. That old man looks very serious, but he is actually a lecherous man in private. But he's not a bad person. Why, did that company offend you?"
