As an old rival in the entertainment industry, Li Dongfang was very happy to see Xia Hongda being defeated. He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to invite him to act."
Xia Hongda frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Brilliant Entertainment's CEO, Chu Heng, said, "Mr. Xia, He Hucheng is an actor in your company. Now that he's in jail, you don't want us to bear the mess he left behind, do you? Haha, that's not right. "
Li Dongfang nodded and said, "That's right. Whoever's actor is in trouble will have to bear the responsibility. Not only the actors, but he also has to pay for the filming expenses. "
Hearing this, Xia Hongda was immediately enraged. He stood up abruptly and roared, "I don't agree."
Li Dongfang smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, please calm down. We can discuss this."
"Discuss? What's there to discuss?" Xia Hongda's face was extremely ugly.
He knew very well that among all the people involved in the case, He Hucheng's role as Lu Bu had the most scenes. The battle scene was also the most grand. If he was responsible for all of it, how much money would he need to pay?
At this time, Xu Ming also stood up and said, "Director Xia, although our relationship is not bad, there are some things that need to be said clearly. After all, this matter involves hundreds of millions of funds, and I really can't afford it. I once asked someone to make a rough estimate. Because of He Hucheng, the whole crew lost at least 200 million. This doesn't include the cost of reshooting the movie stars and actors. If you want us to bear it with you, it's really unfair to us. We will never agree to it. "
"Yes, Mr. Xu is right."
"Our company doesn't have any artists involved in this case. You can't expect us to share the money equally, right?"
.....
The CEOs of all the major entertainment companies expressed their opinions one after another. Without exception, they were all responsible for their own business.
Xia Hongda was not a fool. At this time, he already knew that these people had colluded to put pressure on him. He had to agree whether he wanted to or not. There was no other way.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Xia Hongda had no other choice. He simply acted shamelessly and said, "I don't have a penny now. You can do whatever you want."
Li Dongfang chuckled and said, "Boss Xia, if you say so, then we can only look for other partners. After all, everyone invested so much money. We can't just throw it away like that. "
Xia Hongda snorted and said, "Find another partner? Don't forget, we signed a contract. "
Xu Mingtu revealed his true intentions and said, "That's right, we did sign a contract. However, your company has failed to fulfill the terms of the contract, which has led to the possibility of the crew being shut down. This is already in violation of the contract. Mr. Xia, if you can't provide the funds, we can only look for someone else. However, the profit share needs to be redistributed. Don't worry, we will hire a professional audit department to calculate the money you have invested and the money He Hucheng and the others have lost. We will not let you suffer any losses. "
Xia Hongda said coldly, "Are you trying to force him to abdicate?"
Li Dongfang snorted and said, "Money doesn't grow on trees. We can't let others pay for our mistakes."
After Li Dongfang finished speaking, the whole conference room suddenly became strangely quiet, and the air seemed to have stopped moving.
Hong Tianchou, Wang Guoan, and the others watched the quarrel between the big shots of the entertainment companies and didn't say a word.
Seeing that things were in a deadlock, Hong Tianchou stood up and said, "Director Xiao, Director Xu, and all the bosses, you can discuss the following matters. We'll leave first. If we can continue shooting, we only have one condition. The actors must be suitable. "
Xiao Yuanyang stood up and said, "Director Hong, teachers, everyone is tired after last night's disturbance. Go back and have a rest. I'll tell you the truth. No matter what, the shooting of 'Three Kingdoms' must be finished and it must be seen by the audience. This is the order given to me by the leader of the Ministry of Culture before I came here. "
Hong Tianchou and the others nodded and left one after another.
After walking out of the conference room, Lee Hoon let out a long breath and said, "Good guys, today was an eye-opener. These people in high positions really dare to say anything for their own interests. They are even more ruthless than us. "
Wang Guoan snorted and said, "For money, these people won't do anything. Xia Hongda is going to bleed a lot this time. One He Hucheng made him lose hundreds of millions. Fortunately, He Hucheng didn't come out. Otherwise, Xia Hongda would have torn him apart. "
Hong Tianchou said, "He reaped what he sowed. When he joined forces with other producers to put pressure on me, he was so arrogant. Now, he should have a taste of it. To be honest, this incident may not be a bad thing for us. Everyone wanted to make 'Three Kingdoms' into a classic, but He Hucheng's performance as Lu Bu was really unbearable. I even had the thought of deleting all his scenes. Now, we have the initiative and the right to choose the actors. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I won't be satisfied if we don't make it a classic. Just now, I have to thank all the teachers for speaking up for justice. "
Sun Yanjun smiled and said, "It's all for the sake of the show. However, Director Hong, today is different from the past. Xiao Yunhai, this brat, is extremely popular now. His' Fairy Tale 'album alone has sold more than 10 million copies. He has countless book fans, film fans, and fans. It won't be that easy to invite him over. "
Hong Tianchou smiled and said, "This is something Xia Hongda should worry about. It has nothing to do with me. However, I have to give him a call. After such a big thing happened, he didn't even send me any condolences. He really has no conscience. "
Wang Guoan said, "Under such circumstances, who would dare to disturb you? Last night, he called me and Old Sun. It was just that we couldn't answer at that time. How about this, I'll call him back and see what he says. "
Wang Guoan called Xiao Yunhai in front of everyone.
At this time, Xiao Yunhai was hugging Zhao Wanqing and watching a Korean TV series called 'Bright Sunshine'. It was said that this TV series was the most popular one now and was loved by the young people of Hua Xia.
Good heavens, Zhao Wanqing was weeping endlessly as she watched, continuously wiping her tears. Xiao Yunhai, on the other hand, was so disgusted by the lines that he wanted to throw up his lunch.
"What is this? It's just rubbish. I really don't understand how such a TV series can be so popular in Hua Xia. "
Just like in his previous life, Korean TV series had invaded Hua Xia. The handsome men and beautiful women of Korea had become the idols of the new generation of young people and were crazily pursued by countless young men and women.
In the past two years, many TV series with big investments by famous directors had been defeated by low-budget Korean TV series. The ratings were so poor that they couldn't even recover half of the cost.
South Korea's "The Boy in the Wind" had the highest viewership rating two years ago. With a viewership rating of 9.8%, it had almost become a legendary drama. Countless Huaxia directors felt lucky, but they also felt unprecedented pressure.
Just as Xiao Yunhai was about to fall asleep from watching Korean TV series, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Xiao Yunhai was awakened by the ringtone of the phone. He opened it and saw that it was Wang Guoan. He quickly picked it up.
"Teacher Wang, are you all right? How is Director Hong? "
Xiao Yunhai's question warmed the hearts of Hong Tianchou, Wang Guoan, and the others. Wang Guoan said, "It's okay. We just had a meeting. There will probably be a result tonight. Director Hong is right next to me. He has something to say to you. "
Wang Guoan handed the phone to Hong Tianchou, and Hong Tianchou's hoarse voice came over.
"Hey, Yunhai, you are very powerful now. Your first album was a great success and you almost became an emperor. Shouldn't you treat me? "
When Xiao Yunhai heard Hong Tianchou's originally loud voice become so hoarse, he knew that he must have had a hard time these two days. So he persuaded, "Director Hong, it's easy to treat me. I haven't thanked you, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Sun for deliberately taking the video for me. "I wanted to call you last night, but I was afraid that you would be too busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you. "You have to be open-minded about what happened in the crew. Don't take everything on your shoulders. "You are just a director, not their father. They have to bear the consequences of their own actions. It has nothing to do with you. "You are not young anymore. You have old and young people to take care of. You have to be aware."
When Hong Tianchou heard Xiao Yunhai's chatter, he was touched, but he pretended to be impatient and said, "Brat, don't be so wishy-washy. I called you mainly to ask if you have time to come over and play the role of Lu Bu. "
Xiao Yunhai said without hesitation, "Director Hong, I have to make time even if I don't have time. When do you need me to come over? I'm just waiting for your word. "
Hong Tianchou smiled and said, "You have to think about it carefully. My crew has a bad reputation. You have always kept a low profile and have a good reputation. If you get involved in this mess, it might not be a good thing for your reputation. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I'm just a small-time actor. I'm not interested in fame or reputation. "If the sky wants to rain and the mother wants to get married, let them be. "At the thought of being able to act with Teacher Wang, Teacher Sun, and other veteran actors, I feel hot all over. I'm so excited that my heart is thumping."
Hong Tianchou was amused by Xiao Yunhai and laughed. He said, "Okay, it's settled then. I reckon that Hongda Entertainment will look for your manager in the next two days. "
"Hongda Entertainment?"
"That's right. Whichever company makes a mistake will have to bear the consequences. So you don't have to give me face. Just do what you need to do. "
"Then I understand, Director Hong."
After hanging up the phone, Hong Tianchou smiled and said, "At least this brat has some conscience."
Hong Tianchou was very satisfied that Xiao Yunhai was giving him face.
Everyone nodded. Sun Yanjun sighed and said, "I was really worried that he would become arrogant after becoming famous. Now, it seems that his temperament is still very good. We didn't waste our efforts to support him."
Hong Tianchou suddenly said worriedly, "I just don't know when the Three Kingdoms will start again."
Lee Hoon smiled and said, "I think it will be in the next two days. The other companies have obviously joined forces, and Director Xiao is still sitting in the middle. Xia Hongda won't be able to hold on. "
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Then let's wait for the start of work."
